Annelise's POV

“He did what?!"

I almost flinched at how hard her voice was and the intensity too.

She moved over to sit down beside me instead, her hand gripped mine strongly as she looked into my eyes. Her anger filled eyes has ebbed away into worry for me.

“How do you feel? What am I saying, obviously distraught. Being married to such person is just outright mad too.” She mumbled.

"Can I at least stay here for some days? I really need some time alone away from that house.” I asked her.

"Of f*cking course! You're welcome to stay here for as long as you want.”

"Thank you.”

Esther opened up her arms for me and I hugged her, wrapping my arm around her waist. "It's the least I can do."

Perhaps, what I needed was an embrace to fall asleep. I felt my eyelids closing while I was still hugging her and I gave in to sleep.

The last thing I remembered was being laid properly on the couch and something warm and soft dumped on my body.

I woke up to my phone ringing. On looking outside, I saw th

    Annelise's POV “Wake up, sleepy head!" I was dragged out of sleep with that loud voice which belongs to none other than Esther.She has been tormenting me since the last four days I've been here. I groaned as she took the blankets off me.“I want to sleep.” I grumbled with my eyes still closed, I turned the other way that I was sleeping on my stomach instead."You will have enough sleep when we're back from the hospital, now up!" She dragged me up and I just had to open my eyes.That's true, the antenatal care is today and it's so important, I'd have rain checked and had my sweet sleep if possible.“I hate you." I mumbled as I got out of bed."You love me." She countered.“Unfortunately.”She stood up from sitting on the bed, clapping her hands excitedly.“I'll leave you to take your bath now, I bought some clothes for you so you can choose from. Breakfast should be ready by the time you're done.” She said and walked towards the door.“Esther." I came before she could open the door.

    Annelise's POV “I need to get to the mall." Esther mumbled as she started the car. We had just walked out of the hospital and was now driving out.“I'll go with you." I said.“I thought you'd want to keep it low for now." She said, glancing at me."Going to the mall with you is nothing. Besides, I want to get some things too. I didn't take my painting materials and I have orders to deliver soon.” I replied.It's not even like anyone is looking for me or something."Oh, since you want to get something too, we'll just go togther then.” She mumbled.We arrived at the mall in no time and we both got in. My stomach is already grumbling, indicating that I needed to feed it already even though I ate in the morning already.“Okay, I'll go get what I need to, would you be okay to get yours yourself?" She asked and I nodded. I've been here countless times before, some minutes on my own wouldn't hurt me.“Let's meet at the food court in let's say, twenty minutes. Are you good with that?" She as

    Annelise's POV “I'm sorry for dragging you into this, Esther. I was the one she came there for and not you." I apologized to Esther for the umpteenth time since we got there.“God above! I told you already that it's nothing. I'd fight a million b*tches as long as they have the intention of hurting you.” She said.We ended up being in the same cell too so we've been conversing. It's night now and there's still no sight of anyone, it's just the both of us in here in this cold, cell.We were separated from Anastasia and Cassie and they were put in another cell down the hall, it's actually better how we aren't close to one another.I was hugging myself when a familiar presence came to the cell, his fists was balled up and he looked furious.“You dared to land my innocent daughter in cell!" My father roared angrily.“With every due respect sir, Annelise is also your daughter. Besides, your so called innocent daughter attacked her first." Esther hissed beside me.“Who are you to dare talk

    Annelise's POV The next morning, I woke up throwing up everything I ate in the midnight into the toilet. The acidic taste of vomit in my mouth made me feel even more nauseous.I staggered to the living room where I laid down immediately. Esther left food for me before she left for work but I just can't bring myself to eat anything.I feel too weak and dizzy to get anything in. I laid there till I slept off again. Morning sickness has to be the worst thing about pregnancy.I woke up to someone ringing the apartment’s bell rather too loud and hard. I groaned out in annoyance, who could it be?Dragging myself up, I walked towards the door to open it. The reflection of the sun outside attacked my eyes that I squinted hard and couldn't see anything at all.“D-ad?” I stuttered when I saw the face very well.“Can I come in?" He asked, sounding nothing like the person I know.“What are you doing here?" I frowned, closing the door even more."We need to talk, it's really important and involve

    Annelise's POV I should have known that this is a really stupid idea, I should have just known that I'd never get out of here without being caught.Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Ken was the last person I thought I'd see here, it's almost midnight by the way. What was he doing here?I turned around and attempted to run but Ken merely chuckled.“You really think running is the solution now? You'd get caught, that's for sure because the security guard that was meant to be guarding that place is now there. And if you think I'll leave you alone after catching you?" I stopped in my tracks, using my hand to wipe my face, sweat had started dribbling down my face now."We can both pretend like you didn't see me, it's not like you caught me doing anything out of the ordinary here.”“Yeah, sneaking around your husband's place of work is just normal." I could feel the smirk in his voice.Ken sounded like he was really going to tell if I don't wait and i know never to tempt him. All he needed was just

    Ethan's POV “Yes, just get everything ready, I'm on my way already." I got into my car with Rex already in the driver's seat.“Okay boss, I'm on it." Lucas relied, sounding like he was joking and being professional at the same time.I rolled my eyes at his antics then ended the call. Rex had started the car and was about to start driving when a knock came on my window.I looked up from my phone to see a familiar face, really familiar but I couldn't pinpoint where I knew the person from, probably because they were no one of importance to me.“Who's that?" I asked Rex.“I think I've seen him with Ken before." Rex replied as he looked back.Right, one of Ken's mischievous friends, those twins. Why is he here knocking on my window anyways? Ken can't be here with me so I'm sure he's not looking for Ken.“Should I drive?" Rex asked, asking if I wanted to ignore Thomas who was now standing at the window, he was looking at the window.“Yes." I told Rex.I went back to my phone, I don't have

    Annelise's POV Ethan? No, he can't he here. What's he doing here? Not when I'm with Ken now.He walked straight to where Ken and i were seating with his stone face, the one that doesn't give way for any expression. He just looks normal, I couldn't even tell of he was angry.Those stupid butterflies that don't know the right time to appear started dancing in my stomach on seeing him for the first time in a week.Stop it Annelise! He's the reason your mother is in the hospital, remember?I chastised myself and stopped daydreaming about his stupid looks that does nothing but spite me now.Ken looked back, tracing my line of sight and the moment he saw Ethan, I saw his fists ball up on the table but he let out a cruel smile.“Good afternoon, brother. You're right in time, I was just about to have lunch with your wife, would you love to join us?" Ken said.Ethan only spared him a glance before he looked at me again."Let's go home, Annelise.” Was the only thing he said as he came to stand

I had fallen asleep on the way here, almost immediately after she drove out of the restaurant's parking lot.Esther stood outside the car, creating a feeling of deja Vu. This was exactly what happened the day I arrived here.“Thank you." I mumbled as I got out of the car and closed the door behind me.The moment I took a step, i hissed loudly, holding my head with my hands. A sharp pain coursed through my head. The headache had worsened too.“Are you okay?" I heard Esther ask beside me.I managed to open my eyes even though the sunlight was making my head ache even more.“I'm tired, and this headache is increasing." I mumbled with gritted teeth.“Sorry, can you at least get in yourself? I'll help you get drugs afterwards." She said and i nodded slowly.I tried to take another step, but it was even worse, Esther helped me in with almost all of my weight on her till we got into her apartment.“No, manage a little bit

    Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Five: AnneliseOne Month LaterMy life had finally returned to how it was in the beginning before everything started, but now it felt more peaceful. I remembered the discussion I had with my mom when I asked about my real father, and she finally told me the truth.My biological dad had passed away, and she had remarried to avoid bringing disgrace to her family. She hadn’t told me because she thought everything was fine. I sat on the kitchen counter, enjoying kiwi and peanut butter. I hummed excitedly, swinging my legs gently. It was the most delicious thing I’d eaten.“Want some?” I offered Ethan, who looked at it with disgust.“No, I’m good.” Suddenly, tears welled up in my eyes. Ethan’s widened in panic.“I was just kidding. Of course, I want to eat it, but I’m worried it’s not enough for you,” he said hastily.I narrowed my eyes at him. “Are you sure? Or do you just not want any?”“Of course, I’m sure,” he replied, his face breaking into an uncharac

    Ethan's POV Lucas had called me urgently this morning, informing me to be at the company. He didn’t elaborate much, and I was left wondering what was happening.I stood in the elevator, which was taking me to the top floor. I don’t know why, but I felt something was about to change. The soft chime of the elevator door sounded, and as it stopped, the door slid open. I stepped out and walked down the hallway into the conference room.Opening the door, I was greeted by the eyes of the board of directors, including Amanda’s. What was she doing here? I saw Lucas come forward to meet me.“What is happening?” I gritted out.“I don’t know either. Madam Amanda called me this morning, telling me we should be present at this sudden conference meeting she had called.” I nodded at him and walked to the front where an empty seat, clearly meant for me, awaited. I sat down.“Most of us know why we are all here, and we have all heard about the scandal. Now, I want to transfer all my shares to Ethan,

    Annelise's POV I caressed my bulging stomach gently, with love shining in my eyes. Suddenly, I felt a soft kick against my belly and giggled at the sensation. I could feel my baby's feet pressed against me.Pulling up my top, I exposed my stomach and smiled at the tiny feet. "Naughty baby," I scolded gently. I heard chuckling behind me and turned to see Ethan staring at me with love and admiration in his eyes. I blushed at the sight—it was overwhelming.“Why are you chuckling?” I asked.“It’s beautiful seeing you scold our little one with such love,” he answered, sitting beside me. His gaze shifted to my stomach.He placed his large, cold hand on my belly. As if recognizing it was his father’s touch, our baby kicked hard, causing me to flinch. I shot Ethan a glare. He chuckled sheepishly before sighing. I sensed immediately that something was wrong.“What’s wrong?” I asked, taking his hand in mine.“Amanda has been calling me. I haven’t picked up because honestly, I have nothing to s

    Annelise's POV “What are you saying, Annelise?” Ethan asked me.“I'm saying that it was the sex we had that night that made me pregnant. I was confused at first because I didn't remember what really happened that night.”“You're saying that the sex that night led to this pregnancy?” he asked, with a shocked expression on his face.“Yes, Ethan,” I replied, assessing his face to gauge his reaction. He had been happy before at the idea of us having a baby, even though he initially thought it might not be his.The confused look on his face quickly turned into happiness, which was contagious, and I smiled brightly too.He hugged me tightly and showered my face with kisses.“Thank you so much for this beautiful gift, Annelise,” he said."You're welcome. Now give me my food; I'm famished,” I commanded him with a strict look on my face.“Right away, your majesty,” he said as he opened up the plate himself. He started feeding me, and I happily ate the food.I finished everything on the plate

    Annelise's POV I jumped on Ethan the moment I saw him at the entrance. His arms were waiting for me already, though my big stomach didn't let me hug him as much as I wanted to.“I missed you so much. When did you get back? Why didn't you tell me that you were coming?” I bombarded him with questions as tears streamed down my face out of happiness."I don't have my phone, remember?” He chuckled close to my ear."Yes, but still,” I trailed off, hugging him even more. I had to break the hug when someone cleared their throat behind us—it was Lucas and Rex.“Welcome back, man,” Lucas said as he patted Ethan on the back.“Thanks, and I appreciate you for helping out with everything,” Ethan replied, and they did that weird men hug.“You don't even know if I helped her out with it or not,” Lucas chuckled.“I know you'd always turn up for things like this. I don't need to hear it before I do; you're a real one,” Ethan said to Lucas."You're always welcome,” Ethan replied, and Rex greeted him t

    Annelise's POV It's Monday now, and I have everything I need for revealing the truth ready. I was assisted by both Lucas and Esther, and I just want the DMZ meeting to be over so I'll have Ethan back.It's time for the event to start, and I didn't bother to disguise to enter the building even though paparazzi were outside in abundance.It's just a plus that I decided to come with both Max and Lucas, and since they're both registered in the company, they were allowed to go through the backdoor.It's afternoon at the moment, and I have anxiety churning in my stomach. I kept reminding myself that I was doing this for Ethan, and I didn't need to think about the crowd that I'd face.“I'll be there with you in that conference room so you'll have a familiar face with you. You don't need to be scared of anyone; just do your thing and let the media do the rest,” Lucas said before we got out of the car.“Thank you so much for everything you've done, Lucas. I really appreciate you, and I'm sure

    Ethan's POV Annelise and I woke up to news about me flying around. It's the same thing that Ken has been using to threaten me before. It was the cuss word from my mouth that woke up Annelise.Though it's still afternoon, we both slept off hours after coming back from the hospital as we didn't sleep overnight normally.She sat up on the bed almost immediately after I cussed out loud, with her eyes still partly closed. She used her hand to wipe her eyes as though she was trying to wipe the sleep away.“What happened?" she asked as her eyes came clear.“Uh, it's… nothing. You can go back to sleep. I'm going to take care of it now.” I rushed out of bed, and she rushed behind me too.“Ethan, did anything happen with anyone? That didn't look like nothing back there at all,” she said behind me, successfully following me into the bathroom.I sighed out loud. "It's Ken. He released the news about me hitting someone, and it's everywhere on the internet now," I rushed out the words to her.“He

    Ken's POV I've been reeling with joy since I was announced as the new highest shareholder of the company, automatically making me the owner of some sort.I honestly expected more from Ethan in terms of competition for the contract and all, but he seemed to be focused on another thing other than anything concerning the company these days, and that worked in my mercy.It could be because he's now separated from his wife, but I didn't care. All that matters now is that I'm way higher than him in rank, and he's below me.I've been trying all my life to achieve that, but he always manages to be one step ahead of me each time I try to surpass him.He was married to someone I like, and he's known by more businessmen and people as the one with the brains for business, while I'm the trophy grandson.I wonder how he feels right now with his most prized possession not with him anymore; he's probably about to commit suicide.A cruel smile came up on my face at the last thing I thought; dying is

    Annelise's POV I was able to get to the hospital in no time, signed the final documents for the transfer, and it was all processed quickly.It wasn't that stressful because my father had already signed me on as one of her guardians, so it wasn't hard for me to arrange her move to another facility.All that's left is the actual moving, which is scheduled for tomorrow. I was told it couldn't be done today as all the paperwork needs to go through the final stages to reach the desired hospital.When I was done at the hospital and had spent some time with my mother, I went to the car dealership as I had told Ethan. I've been keeping him updated on everything that's been happening.He was replying to the messages up until the last one I sent, which I took as him ignoring it because of the argument we had about it last night.I went there and made inquiries on some of the budget-friendly cars they had. I ended up with a nice car that had some great features and was within my price range.Th
