Chapter 31No divorce fee

Rachel's POV

" So what do you want to wear?" Marina asked me as we were rummaging around the mall looking for the right dress.

As it turns out, she was a VIP here, so as soon as we arrived, we were taken to the VIP section of the mall, so all the clothes here we're pretty expensive.

" I don't know?" I replied shrugging.

" If it's the price, you already said I was paying".

" Duh..." I gave Marina a dumb look.

If I said she was paying, I meant she was paying. Although everything in here was really expensive, I was used to seeing stuffs like this.

For fuck sake I was Rachel fucking Andrews before Mia took that away from me, I could buy this mall if I got mad... That was before I married David.

That shitty bastard made me become a stay at home wife, and he never gave me any money.

And me, being the stupid and naive girl I once was never complained. I used all my savings up in our three miserable years of marriage, and now we're divorced and I'm left penniless.

" I was really stupid". I sighed dropping the hug shirt that I was holding.

" Why the sudden realization?" Marina asked with a snort. She was by the shirts section. She picked up one and checked herself in the mirror.

I shook my head walking up to her.

" Darn... I forgot to get a lawyer so David would have to split his properties with me since he asked for a divorce". I answered looking at Marina in the mirror.

She was holding a thin white off shoulder shirt with black dots.

I shook my head, collecting the shirt from her and picking two different ones from the rack.

"You'll look cute in these".

"Really?" She gave me a skeptical look, before collecting them, checking out herself in the mirror.

" Anyways Rachel, you should be glad that you're out of the dumb marriage and not regretting not taking money from David... Wait weren't you the one who told me that Lana and David cooked up a false story about them being drugged or something? "

Oh, I forgot about that.

" Even if you get a lawyer, David would never agree to pay you, he'll just stick to the story and so will Lana and your parents would just blame you for doing that".

I rolled my eyes. She was so right.

" It's true... And David even said I was the one who proposed the divorce". I shook my head in laughter.

Those people were unbelievable. They mixed cheating with lying so perfectly well.

" I can't believe how you stayed calm when you were taking to them... If it was me, I would have scratched Lana's eye balls off the very day I saw her in bed with my man, well that's if my man isn't a douchebag like David".

I laughed. This girl didn't understand.

" I tried to. Believe me I really did, but David flung me across the room so hard and so fast, I didn't even see it coming ". I said demonstrating how David threw me across the room, Marina couldn't hold her laughter.

" Shit... Your back must have hurt". She said still laughing.

Oh it did I was about to say when I head another laughter just behind me.

" Olivia... What are you doing here?" I heard Mia ask and turned around to see Olivia with two other ladies I've seen them before, they were her two assistants.

" Olivia..."

" I was just shopping for the party later tonight, but then I heard your voices and here I am".

Olivia said with a smile. As good of an actress she was, i could still see that the smile was forced.

What have I done to this one?

" What a coincidence....We also came to shop for tonight party" Marina spat back returning Olivia fake smile with one of her own.

I could sense a tension between the both of them. I looked at Olivia, then at Marina, before raising my brow at her giving her the 'what's going on ? ' look.

Marina answered me back by raising her left brow, her head slowly nudging to Olivia.

" Anyways..." Olivia began interrupting our talking through eyes session. " ... I just happened to hear what you were saying just now, David, your husband... "

" Ex". I interrupted.

I would rather die that allow someone to call David my husband again.

" Ex? "

" Yes, ex-husband. We're divorced". I answered brusquely, trying to make the conversation as short as possible.

" Oh... " She exclaimed putting a hand to her mouth as if in shock" I didn't know you were a divorcee, and at such a young age of 24... "

" What's wrong with that? " Marina interrupted coming to my rescue, or better yet her rescue Olivia because what was not going to like what was going to come out next from my mouth.

Nevertheless, she was still saving me, my job that is. If I said anything Olivia wouldn't like, which i would have if Marina hadn't spoken up for me, I could possibly lose my acting job.

" I just thought she was too young to be a divorcee, to be even married if you ask me".

"Well, nobody asked you. And if you have been eves dropping for a long time which I believe you had, you would know that her ex-husband wasn't a saint". Marina answered harshly.

I looked up at her in wonder.

Damn!

I had forgotten how sharp Marina's mouth was. The fake smile on Olivia's face twitched.

I tried to suppress my giggle, holding my hands on my lips.

But Olivia was an actress, she was able to recover from it quickly, putting on back the fake smile.

" Hey, I don't know the man". Olivia said shrugging hee shoulders to show that she was just asking a question.

" By the way, the Lana out were talking about, is it the same Lana we're working with, your 'sister'? " She asked air coating the sister.

What did she mean by that?

Did she not believe me when I said Lana was my sister? Even j didn't want to believe myself, but it is true, at least according to papers.

The Andrews were yet to properly disown me, untik they do that, I was still their daughter.

" Why do you care so much about it?" Marina answered for me again.

I would have to thank this girl severally when we get home.

The fake smile that she was trying hard to keep on her face disappeared.

" Marina I wasn't talking to you, you need to learn your place" She said coldly to Marina.

Marina was about to give her another answer but I nudged her.

" Just stop it, I'll answer her". As much as I love that she was answering for me, she was also putting her job in jeopardy.

She was only a junior director of the show while Olivia was a big time actress. The latter could get Marina fired with just a few words of complains to the director.

I had seen first hand how the director dotes on her, and I would not want Marina to out her job at risk for my sake.

" It's complicated. But I got out of the marriage thanks to an angel with the shape of a man". I said attempting a joke.

Nobody laughed, okay.

" An Angel?"

" Yeah, Ethan". I answered her nodding my head.

Ethan was indeed my angel, he even had a face and body of a god

I saw the way her face twisted in confusion.

"Ethan?"

I nodded my head.

"Ethan... Ethan Wright"

Oops... I looked towards Marina to see if she remembered who Ethan was, but I saw no serious change of expression.

Ok, she doesn't remember who Ethan is, good.

I then returned my gaze to Olivia and I was shocked at what I saw.

She looked like she had just seen a ghost or in this situation heard there is a ghost.

What was so shocking?
