After Divorce: Loved by the Secret Billionaire CEO

Chapter 101 Lana is dead

Rachel's POV

"Shit..." I groaned rolling on the bed. I had gone to bed really late last night even though I retired back to the room early.

I knew yesterday was going to be rough, but I didn't expect it to go exactly the way it did, well all that mattered was that I was fine right now, still feeling bad but fine.

Not really fine, but at least in one piece.

My body hurts from all the bruises and wounds I somehow managed to gain just yesterday.

Dragging my tired body, I got up from the bed, stretching my arms in front of me while cranking my neck.

I slept on the wrong side of the bed probably because my neck felt really sore.

After a lot of contemplation and hesitance, I went to the bathroom and took a shower, changing into a brown pair of jeans and white top before coming out of the room.

" Arina?" I called out walking around the house.

Where was she?

She would normally be bugging me to wake up by now. I thought checking her room before moving over to the kitchen.

"Arina?" I called again, but she was not there.

"Where are you for fuck sake?" I grumbled under by breath walking towards the dinning.

This was unlike Marina to just disappear into thin air, also I owed her an apology.

Last night when I came home I was so muddle headed, I came home late with blood stains on my clothes, she must have been worried sick about me, at least that was what I thought.

But now she was literally no where to be found so maybe I was just being paranoid.

" She didn't even care about my blood stains". I groaned again taking a cereal box off the shelf, and then a bowl, and a jug of milk.

It was almost impossible for me to make my own breakfast since I had always had maids to do that for me, even after I left the Andrews mansion there were still maids in Ethan's house who were at my beck and call.

But now, I was not exactly on my own, but Marina wasn't around to make breakfast for me right now, so this was what I had to make do with.

"Cereal". I snickered almost rolling my eyes as I poured the content of the box into the bowl, and then added milk to it.

I shut my eyes, crunching and munching on my wet yet dry breakfast.

"Damn you Marina".

I was starving!

I hadn't eaten anything else apart from the noddles she made yesterday morning for me, and right now I was carving it.

I was about taking another spoon full of cereal into my mouth, when I sighted a folded note on the fridge.

"What's that?" I dropped the bowl on the dining walking towards the fridge.

" A note? " A mumbled taking it off the side of the refrigerator and reading it aloud.

" Rachel, I went out for a bit and I know you would probably be eating cereal since you suck at cooking..." I paused to roll my eyes before I continued reading.

"... I made a light breakfast for you and I kept it in the microwave. Much love, Arian ".

Aww... She made breakfast for me?

I rushed towards the microwave and opened it.

"Pancakes". My eyes lit up with joy as I saw the wonderful pancakes in the microwave stacked sky high.

"Oh, Marina. You are forgiven". With a huge grin I took out the pancakes from the oven and brought out the honey and maple syrup from their respectable shelves and sat down to eat the delicacy in front of me.

"Marina really know how to make an apology".

Even if I had no idea what she was apologizing for, or if she was apologizing at all. But this was good.

Without second thoughts I dived into my food, about to fork some of the still hot and tantalizing pancake in my mouth when I heard the doorbell ring.

"Marina?" I asked no one in particular, staring at the door in utter confusion.

If she was going to be back so early why the hell did she make so much pancakes? Did she think I was going to share it with her... Hell no way.

I took a bit out of it, it was just delicious. She really learnt how to cook after leaving alone all these while.

"Bang bang!"

The knock came again and I groaned in frustration and annoyance.

But thinking about it, why would Marina knock? It was her own house and she had her keys... I looked up at the door again.

Who could it be?

When the loud sound of knocking came for the third time, I reluctantly stood up and walked towards the door.

"I'm coming". I yelled when the person knocked again.

Marina's apartment may not be huge, but it sure was wide and spacious. It took almost a minute for me to get to the door.

"Who is..." My voice trailed off when I saw who was outside the door.

Two men dressed in corporate office wears and a man in a police jacket with a badge around his neck.

"Good morning Ms Rachel Andrews". The one in the jacket said respectfully before touching the badge on his neck and showing it to me " I'm detective Williams, and these are my partner..." He turned to look at the other two men, " Agent John and agent Percy".

I stretched my neck forward to glance at the two men who gave me a nod. I forced a smile to my face and nodded back.

I gulped fearfully.

Why the hell was my heart beating this fast, I didn't do anything! I scratched off the evidence last night!

" Em... Good morning gentlemen. May I ask why police officers are looking for me this early morning in another person house?" I said the last words with sarcasm.

If they were here to find Marina, it would still look strange for policemen to be looking for her, but it would be believable, but they were looking for me... What could they possibly be looking for me for that they would trace me all the way to Marina's house?

" Ms we would like for you to come to the station with us". Detective Williams said and I felt my blood pressure and temperature spike.

" Come... Come to, come to your station, b...but why? " I asked my voice trembling.

The detective raised a brow at me, probably scrutinizing my terrified expression but no matter how many times I breathed in and out, my heart wouldn't just stop beating loudly.

Was this because of yesterday?

But I thought I had covered up all the evidence!

" Do you know a Ms Lana Andrew? "He asked instead if answering my question, and I just suddenly became confused.

Lana?

" Yes I know Lana, how is she involved in all this? "

Then an idea struck me. I scoffed crossing my hands. " She payed you guys didn't she? To come to my house to scare me... Tsk tsk... That girl is really going to fat with this. " I said to myself hitting my tongue with on the roof my mouth.

"Ms what are you saying?" The detective asked with confusion.

He was still trying to play dumb?

" Are you guys even real officers or did Lana just pick up street guy to fool me..."

" We have no idea what you're talking about, and Ms Lana is dead!" He suddenly announced and I felt my entire body freeze, including my bones.

Lana is what???

" And we have reasons to believe that you are responsible for the murder "

He said again and this time my eyes almost rolled backwards.

" Are... " I gulped trying to get my words straight, my lips were still trembling while my heart beat just stopped. " Are you trying to say, that I'm responsible for Lana's death? " I asked as if talking to myself.

Lana was dead!
