Chapter 97 Somebody help me, help!

Lana's POV

"What the hell Lana why did you have to do that?" David asked fuming. " We didn't break up, I dumped you, why did you have to make it sound like it was a mutual agreement so you can go whore yourself out to Ethan?"

I gasped holding my hands on my chest.

Did he just say that to me?

After everything we had been through together, just one day with Rachel and he now calls me a whore?

"How dare you talk to my daughter in that manner". My mum stood up from the sofa and defended. She glared at David who rolled his eyes at her.

"I was not talking to you woman so you better mind what you say if not the entire alliance would be over ". He threatened and Martha scoffed.

Why was she scoffing? I looked towards her.

David didn't look like he was joking and I thought she was doing all of these so the alliance between Hart industries and Andrew Corporation wouldn't end... So why was she scoffing?

"My daughter here..." She held my shoulder looking and my gaze on her turned even more suspicious. " Had managed to catch the eye of Ethan, Ethan Wright and you think we would still be begging for your alliance? If you like stop everything, breach the contract for Alli care because very soon, I'll have Ethan Wright a wealthy billionaire as my son in law ". She said proudly with a smug tone.

My eyes almost widened. Why was she talking like that?

Ethan and I were practically nothing right now, completely nothing yet she was talking as if we were deeply in love with each other and were going to get married tomorrow.

I already loved him, fell in love with him the second I realized that he was the same Ethan Marina and Rachel bullied... Although I fainted as soon as I found out, I still felt in love with him, whether he feels the same thing for me was another thing.

Just so I wouldn't lose face in front of David, and I also couldn't cal out my mother as a liar so I went along with what she said, acting all sure and smug, I was an actress so it was pretty easy.

" What no more talking anymore David? Cat got your tongue? You better leave now since your fiancee is already gone". I mocked in delight as David's face turned red in embarrassment.

He glared on more time at me before exiting the same way Rachel did, with anger and almost moved to tears, having the exact same glint in the eyes as Rachel when she left.

I looked back towards my mother who was giving me a proud look. " I'll also have to be going on". I said to her and she frowned.

" Why do you have to, it's still too early". She said looking at the clock.

It was a quarter past two, I didn't even realize that time had gone that far already.

" I'll come back to visit you tomorrow, but I want to go shopping and then I'll sleep over at my place".

" Your place? " Her frown deepened. " That apartment is way too small for the Andrew family only daughter ". She said with a small voice.

I smiled at her words. I was indeed their only daughter, and she wanted to give me the entire world if she could.

I had found out just two days ago that Martha, my mother had a failing health. She was been in drugs for a few years but after I was found as her daughter, she suddenly became better, they saw me as their miracle.

Because of that everyone respected me in the house, even Rachel's cousins who always looked down at her couldn't help but bow I respect when they saw me because I was grandfather's favourite, and Martha's love.

And right now I could use that love to my advantage. I had always wanted a change of apartment to somewhere better than fitted my new status, I had the money to change it myself but why do that when I also had a mother that loved me more than her own life.

"Mum..." I pouted. She always loved it when I called her mum. " You're right and that apartment is way too small for me, but the thing is..."

"You can come leave here with us permanently". She immediately said and I shook my head.

"I need my privacy".

Martha nodded after a while, silently thinking over what I said. "I'll find a way to get you a bigger place". She said at last and I jumped excitedly hugging her.

" Thank you mummy, but I have to go now. Kisses " I placed a sharp kiss on her cheeks before dashing our of the house and towards my car.

I know time I drove out of the Andrew's manor and to the mall to flex out my money. Since I no longer had to save for my apartment why not just spend the money?

After spending almost five hours in the mall buying bunch of stuffs that I might never use and hopped back into my car and drove to my apartment. It was starting to rain again but it wasn't that heavy, mostly flashes of lightning and thunder strikes with just a little drizzle.

I had this creepy weird feeling when I opened the door, it was not locked but I was damn sure I locked it before leaving yesterday. Maybe it's just the weather vibes

"Okay, this is weird".I muttered to myself walking around while looking for a light switch because it was also very dark.

I was just about moving forward when I heard something... No someone move. I turned sharply to the sound gulping hard as my eye frantically searched around.

"Who is there?" I asked out loud to the darkness but received no reply.

My heart began to race.

Could it be David again?

Was he angry because of what I said to him earlier today? "David this is not funny ". I said trying to move around the house to find the light switch.

Finally touching it, I switched it on but nothing happened.

What happened to the lights?

Holy fuck was this a power outage or a blown fuze?

I gulped again turning around when I heard something move again this time sounding closer.

"Who... whoever you are, this is not funny". I said shaking my head in fright. All of a sudden something was launched at me and I sharply dodged but it was able to scrape my face.

Fucking fuck.... It was a knife. This was a fucking murder attempt.

If I wasn't scared before, I immediately became terrified, and I was scared before so right now.i was beyond terrified! I ran towards the door wanting to get out of the apartment but before I could the door just suddenly locked. No matter how much I pushed and pulled on it, I didn't budge.

What was this? What was going on?

My heart raced even more as I pounded harder on the door. "Somebody help me! Help!!!" I screamed and I felt my hair being tugged on and before I knew it, I was on the floor groaning in pain.

"Somebody, anybody help me!!" I yelled even more but stopped immediately when I heard a sinister laugher.

"Nobody is going to hear you, you picked the best apartment in the entire city". A familiar voice said.

My eyes widened at the sound of the voice, it was... It was...

I felt a sharp pain on my neck, and then my back and before I knew it I was getting stabbed everywhere nas all over my body.

"Please stop..." I groaned and pleased in pain slowly losing my consciousness, feeling my spirit about to leave my body.

"Next time you'll think twice before going against me." That was the last thing I heard before a flash of lighting flashed and I saw the intruder face, hands raised about to strike again with the knife.

And that was all I could see before I felt another sharp pain and the I couldn't feel anything anymore... Everything just went dark.

And too my surprise, the last thought that flashed through my mind wasn't my acting career which I held so dear, it was my baby... The life growing in my womb that was not going to be able to see the world.
