After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO

Chapter 82 He's at... At a bar?

Ch. 81 / 155 Apr 28, 2026

Rachel's POV

I blinked in surprise. " You can do that?" I asked and she nodded.

" Sir Ethan linked his GPS with some of his trusted staff so in case of anything happening, we would always know where to find him".

I nodded slowly. That sounded possible.

Ethan was already announced as the CEO of the E & R group of companies; he was literally the top target for extortioners, and a lot of people would want to harm him just because of his status.

It was a smart thing for him to do that, especially to Mark and John. But why did he give Victoria though? She wouldn't be able to help him if he really ran into trouble.

Whatever, if that was going to help me find Ethan, who was I to ask why?

" Victoria please help me check". I told her.

Victoria brought out her phone from her pocket and did something on it, then she brought it closer to her face, hiding it away from me or something...

' Rachel, you said you were not going to complain, ' My inner conscience reminded me, and I let out a frustrated sigh, waiting for her to be done.

"Yes, I got it!" She exclaimed after a few minutes and my closed eyes flew open.

" Really? Where is he?" I asked at once, with both excitement and a little worry.

My heart began beating louder as I waited for Victoria to spill out his location.

" He's at... A bar?" She said, more like she asked.

A bar?

Ethan went to a bar?

What did he go to do there?

Could it be that he went to drink because of how mad he was at himself for cheating on the woman he loved with me? Or was he just mad at me for kissing him?

But I wasn't the one who kissed him, he kissed me too!

I pulled away, but then he had my face and kissed me back. Was he regretting it that much?

I jumped when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

" Ms Rachel, are you alright?" She asked me, and I nodded, forcing a smile on my face.

"I'm fine ". I lie through my teeth.

Lying had become even easier for me after shooting this movie, maybe that was why Lana could easily lie and deceive everyone the way she did.

" If you want, I can tell you the exact address". She said after a while.

I fell into a deep thought.

Should I go see him? But he was in a bar, which meant he wanted to drink, and he was also not answering any of my calls.

But I was worried, what if he got so drunk that he slept at the bar? John was with him but I didn't have the guy's number.

" You know what, tell me the address I'll just go check on him". I said to Victoria, and she told me the address, and I went back up to my room to get a coat. It was still raining outside and it was getting heavier.

After picking up my coat I went outside and down to the underground garage. Thankfully, Victoria gave me a car key; I just had to figure out which car it was.

I looked around the huge garage filled with different brands of cars. From sports cars down to vintage cars.

It was just like a huge collection of Barbie dolls, only that those Barbie dolls were cars!

I pressed the button of the key, and the car headlight flashed. I walked towards it, it was a black sedan, good.

Thank goodness Victoria didn't give me the keys to one of the vintage cars, but they didn't look like they were for riding. Just for a beautiful collection.

I shook my head heading over to the car. I started it and drove out of the garage keeping the location of the bar in mind as I sped across the city.

City bar... It shouldn't be so surprising to me that Ethan went there since it was the biggest bar in the city and Ethan was crazy rich, but it was still a bar and he was Ethan.

I would have never thought that he went to places like that, because he always looked so decent.

Men are never what they seem, Marina used to say, and right now, it was almost seeming like it.

I arrived at the bar in record time but I couldn't go in just yet. It was still raining and it was getting worse by the second.

"Darn, I didn't think to bring an umbrella". I said looking out the window as the rain poured down.

"It's now or never. " I told myself as I opened the door and got down from the car running towards the bar.

"Argh... I just changed". I groaned when I realized that my clothes were wet again.

I had to find Ethan and leave her fast. If not because of anything, but because of the fact that I knew the owner of the hotel... Kyle Dolan.

I looked around the huge bar; the loud sound of music and the different lights were not making it easy to find someone or even to think.

" Ms, Welcome to City... Ms Rachel?" The waiter who was about to welcome me into the hotel paused in his words when he saw who I was.

I shut my eyes tightly, before opening it and giving the guy a tight smile. " Hi, " I waved.

I was popular here, at least any employee that had worked here for more than three years would remember me.

" Welcome. Do you want me to inform Mr. Dolan of your arrival? He is not around at the moment but..."

I shook my hands in front of me. "No, there's no need for that". I said nervously.

" You see I'm only here to look for someone, and I'll be gone in a flash. You don't have to inform Kyle... I mean Mr Dolan. " I added hurriedly before walking towards the elevator to the VIP section.

Ethan would never stay in a place like this, it was too loud and bright.

I looked around the VIP section which was surprisingly almost empty. It was normally filled with different kinds of businessmen and billionaires who all came here to unwind and relax with women at their every corner.

A shiver ran down my spine when the thought of seeing Ethan crowded with several women crossed my mind.

Nah... He wouldn't do that. He had someone he was in love with. Just a kiss with me, he was already ignoring me; why would he just go and have fun with other women?

' But it could be possible that it was only you he was ignoring and wouldn't mind sleeping with other chicks... ' My mind suggested and my breathing became heavy.

" A drink, Ms?" A waiter passed by with a tray, and I took a glass from it, taking a sip of whatever it was.

It didn't look like Ethan was here. I thought and was just about to leave when I caught sight of something or rather two people.

I walked closer to confirm and I was beyond shocked. The glass in my hands fell to the floor and the two people looked towards me.

None of my suggestions was right. He wasn't just ignoring me because he was guilty about our kiss, nor was he having fun with other women. He was having fun with only one woman.

The person I hated the most in my entire life.

I could feel the stinging from my eyes as I stared at the two of them. Ethan looked up to me and staggeringly pushed Lana away from him, walking towards me.

"Rach... Rachel please, it's not what you think". He spluttered, and the gathered tears fell down from my eyes.

My chest suddenly felt heavy and I found it difficult to breathe.

"No... I can't do this." I cried shaking my head before running out of the room.

This can't be happening.

I can't... he can't, this... fucking no!

I began to hyperventilate, my breath leaving my lungs. I ran into the female bathroom crouching down on the floor.

This can't be happening
