Chapter 90 Marriage contract

Rachel's POV

"Rachael... I'm so glad to see you." David said with a smile after I brought him out to the little garden behind the house. He was about to pull me in for a hug when I raised my hand to stop him.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked in a cold voice pushing him away from me.

David's face twisted in embarrassment as he let go of me. "I only wanted to hug my wife." He said in a beaten-up voice.

His wife...

His fucking wife?!

" Ex wife". I corrected him with a smile. And David smiled back shaking his head.

Why was he smiling? He ought to be angry at words.

" I meant, soon to be wife". He added and my smile froze.

He was really certain that I was going to be his wife.

' Well you're here about to agree to the damn thing so, I think he had all the rights to be certain'

I had called Martha up before coming here. I has told her to invite David and tell him that I had agreed to his absurd request. And thankfully for Lana they arrived at the right time because I wa starting to lose grip on my self control and if they were even a few seconds late I would have pounced on her.

I'm not the type of lady who normally goes after another woman because of a man, pulling their hair and stuff because I strongly believe that if the guy was with another girl, he gave his consent and their was no need for the first girl to fight for him, it was a fucking loosing battle. But right then, I felt like I could probably win if I put Lana in a hospital, or a coffin.

Ethan would be mad at me, but can't stay mad at me forever... Shit, I forgot about Olivia. She would immediately take the opportunity to drag Ethan towards her.

Thinking of it, I doubt I would be this angry and hurt if the woman I caught Ethan with was Olivia. She was better than Lana in so many ways than one, and she wasn't my worse enemy.

But the heart wants what it wants.

I felt my eye starting to sting and I looked away from David walking towards the center of the small garden.

" How does it feel getting dumped for someone better?" I asked changing the topic while sitting down by the foot of the huge tree in the middle of the small garden.

This was my favorite place in the entire mansion. I could just seat here alone for hours and think without anyone coming to disturb me.

Infact, almost none of them came into this garden because it was little, and according to my ex-dad, filled with disgusting trees.

" Me? Dumped?" David scoffed at my words shoving his hands into his pockets. " I don't know what you're saying. "

I stared at David for a few seconds and a smirk appeared on my face after I confirmed it.

Unlike Lana, David was terrible at lying so it was quite easy to capture it, but right now he was sincere.

Could it be that he didn't know that Lana was with someone better than him, or that she didn't dump him.

I crossed my legs on each other which looked kind of weird giving that I was sitting on a tree trunk really close to the ground, but I made it work. " Who suggested the break up between you and Lana?" I inquired staring at him innocently.

David brows furrowed again in confusion. " Why are you asking that?" He asked his tone silently telling me he was sick of this conversation.

But I was bored, and broken and hurt, I had to at least ruin someone's day to.

" Just answer, I want to know". I said with a shrug.

David huffed before removing his hands from his pockets and crossing them on his chest. " Fine, me. Why are you asking? "

I narrowed my eyes at him.

You? He suggested the break up?

Lana didn't break up with him to go with Ethan then, could it be that she was sad after the break up she and Ethan just suddenly met up?

" Rachel you haven't told me the reason you asked that question ". David probed making me regret ever asking that question.

If I was right, then Lana really was the lady Ethan loved all along. Yet he wanted to help me? I smirked at my stupidly remembering the words he told me the first time I woke up in his house.

He said he wanted to help me get my revenge on Lana and David and only wanted one thing in return, to be with him.

Now that I think of it, maybe he meant, be with me so I can know all your secrets and tell it to Lana so she can use it against you because I'm in love with her. That sounded crazy but it could as well be true.

I had to stop thinking like about Ethan and Lana if not I would eventually turn out to be the crazy one.

Shaking my head to get the thought out, I reached for my bag removing a paper out of it.

" Rachel seriously what do you mean by that question? Do you know something about Lana that I don't?" David asked again refusing to let the matter rest.

Dude, can't you see I'm suffering here?

But I was a good actress, so it was probably not obvious.

Letting out a sharp breath I glanced back at David. He was going to find out sooner or later, what better way than though me?

" Your ex is dating Ethan, yeah that Ethan... Ethan Wright".

David eyes widened to the point I thought they were about to pop out. " The Billionaire Ethan Wright? Your boyfriend?"

So you thought he was my boyfriend yet made that absurd threat? I eyed him digging my finger in my palms again.

" He was not my boyfriend, you were right. I acted with him to make you jealous, but didn't mean I wanted you back in my life. " I confessed taking in a sharp breath before a sky remark came into my head. "But Lana... She's good. She was able to make the high and mighty billionaire fall for her just few days after you... What did you say again? Dumped her? " I said with a smirk.

The expression on David's face was literally to die for. I had never seen him so... So angry with himself.

" As the saying goes one man's girlfriend, is a billionaire love". I added enjoying as his face contorted even more.

It was hurting me too, the more I said it, the more the pain in my heart grew but I ignored it, just keeping my mind on the fact that it was also hurting David.

" Here ". I said giving him the document in my hands, before leaning closed to the tree.

Before I came here, I had gone to see Marina's lawyer. Although she totally disagreed with my plan, ate seeing how adamant I was she just stopped trying to convince me otherwise.

I wanted something, like an assurance that David wouldn't do the same stupid thing he did after our last three miserable years of marriage and luckily the lawyer was able to draft out exactly what I wanted.

David took the papers from my hand and began reading it. His face twisted even more with each line he read and I almost burst into laughter.

After he was done with it, he glared at me then at the paper like he wanted to tear it into shreds then back at me and I pursed my lips to stop myself from laughing at him.

Even when I was completely heart broke I still found humor.

Why?

Because it was the only thing stopping me from bursting into tears everytime I thought of Ethan... And then Lana.

"What... What is this?" He roared flinging the paper in his hands left and right.

I let out a smile. "Husband dearest, that's our marriage contract." I said in a sing song beautiful voice, while blinking my eyes lovingly.
