Mr Simon“No."Her face contorted in a frown with how sharp my response was but I cared less. That's the only leverage I have over her at the moment and I'm not going to let it go just like that.“Why are you even doing this? I'm paying the bills now just like you wanted, but you still won't tell me where my mother is being held, it's just not fair." That did nothing to crack me, it just can't. I still have one last step before I drop her case, but right now, I can't tell her where her mother is so she won't act as the obstruction to the plans I've been on for more than a decade. "I'll tell you on my own accord, what you should be doing now is sending the hospital bill and nothing more. Your mother is responding to treatment and fine." I said.She stood up with anger evident on her face, she looked so furious right now but I kept a straight face, not moved by her facial expression at all.“I wish my mother never met you so I wouldn't have to be your daughter in the first place, it's

Annelise's POV I ran out of the house with a racing heart, I had no idea that this morning would be a disastrous one. I had only gone back to get my phone because I found out that I had forgotten it.Hearing him say he wanted to transfer the company's real ownership made she stop myself from opening the door because I wanted to hear everything.But what I heard next was even worse, the person I grew up to know as my father isn't even my real father.I didn't know if I should be happy about that piece of information, or I should just be heartbroken. I feel so indifferent right now, I got into the cab I hailed before.“Sorry for keeping you waiting." I said to the driver as I got in. We were at the end of the street when I realized that I didn't take my phone.I was lucky to have seen the cab when it was dropping off someone before I waved it down, that's the main reason I didn't notice my phone wasn't with me earlier.It was when I wanted to bring out the phone to make a call that I r

Annelise's POV I couldn't hold back the tears, I didn't even try to rein them in, I just let them flow freely from my eyes.The last day I saw her was at that party we both went with my fa- Simon, that was also the last time I felt the feeling of being in a family, it has been a lonely life since then.I walked over to her side and sat down on the chair, I held her hand in mine and it just felt all right again. Her hands that used to caress my face and wipe away my tears since I was a kid.It felt like I was holding onto a really valuable substance, which it was. The oxygen mask on her nose and the monitors with other engines around her were the only things supporting her right now.Then I knew how dangerous it was when she was here with only Simon knowing where she was. He could come in here and disconnect the machines. Someone who's capable of pretending to be my father is as crazy as that.“Mom." The word came out of my mouth like a whisper. It's been long since I said that one w

Ethan's POV I was busy with work when a call from an unknown number came through. I ignored it at first, but the caller was persistent, so I picked it up out of frustration.“Hey Ethan,” said a familiar voice.“Who is this?”“This is Esther, Annelise's friend.”“Oh, hi Esther. I hope there's no problem. You've been really persistent with the calls,” I said.“It's Annelise.” I stood up immediately, alarmed by her tone."What's wrong with her? Is something the matter?" I bombarded her with questions.“I don't know if she's okay,” she replied.“What do you mean by you don't know?” I asked, my face etched with worry.“I've been trying to reach her, but her line isn't reachable. I dropped her off at her father's this morning. I just called him, and he said she left hours ago.""Did she tell you she was going anywhere else?” I asked, running my hand through my hair."If she did, I'd be at that place right now."True, but I couldn't think of anything at the moment. Annelise isn't the type t

Annelise's POVI was on the phone with Esther when I saw Ethan walk in. A smile adorned my face the moment I saw him. I almost didn't believe him when he said he was nearly at the hospital.“Can we talk later? He's here," I said to Esther, who agreed to call me back.“Hey, you're here already," I said as I dropped my phone. Ethan looked like he wanted to hug me but kept his arms to himself. I could tell from the way his hand twitched.“Yeah, I did tell you I was around the corner, right?" If it wasn't that he rarely smiles, I'd have called the expression on his face a little smile, but knowing Ethan, this is the most he could manage.“You did…” I trailed off.“What are you doing here, by the way? This is a specialist hospital," he asked, looking around.“I came to see my mother. My father eventually told me where she’s being treated, and that happens to be this hospital,” I said.The little smile on his face disappeared almost immediately, and he looked suddenly serious.“Have you see

Annelise's POV We talked about random things on the drive to the place Ethan wanted to show me. I was surprised when the name of a popular cemetery came into view.Ethan parked the car and almost ran around to open the door for me. I got out, looking around with an analyzing expression.The cemetery was quiet, almost eerily so. If it wasn’t for the sound of our footsteps and our breathing, there wouldn’t be any noise at all.“Why are we here?” I asked.“This used to be the place I came to whenever I needed to be alone," Ethan started, looking into the distance as we walked. We were heading to a spot I didn’t recognize.Did he have a close relative buried here? He stopped suddenly at one of the cremated stones. I hadn’t noticed the name until he told me to look.Marie Simon. That’s my mother’s name. This was the tombstone that made Ethan believe she was dead. Everything inscribed on it was so accurate that I wondered what lengths Ken had gone to.“I thought my life was over when Ken

Ethan's POV I dropped Annelise at her friend's apartment after promising to return in the evening so we could visit her mother at the hospital once more. Then I drove back to the office, where Lucas had called to inform me that my private investigator was there to see me. The man looked like he had something very important to tell me.I arrived at the office in no time and asked the investigator to come in with me.“What did you have to tell me?" I asked him straight away.“It's about your wife. I found out that she was at the event that night. She came in around eight pm with her father. She left in the morning, but she had some kind of disagreement with Amanda before leaving.”A disagreement with Amanda? That was surprising. It meant Annelise had met Amanda even before the wedding. What was even more surprising was that Annelise had actually attended the event. Why had she lied to me about it?“What else did you find out?" I asked him.“You both were together that night."A frown

Annelise's POV Esther entered Ethan's car too so she wouldn't waste her car's gas because we were all going to the same place.Ethan entered the car first while Esther and I followed suit. I don't know if I'm just being paranoid, but Ethan looked angry; the way his hand was on the steering wheel confirmed that, and I frowned. Was it a problem at work? He didn't say a word till we got to the hospital. The look on his face wasn't a friendly one at all. He got out of the car first, then came to open my door with that sullen look on his face. I wasn't the only one who noticed; Esther did too.“What's wrong with him? He's acting really weird,” she asked after Ethan had gone ahead, walking really fast."I don't know either. He hasn't said a word to me,” I whispered as we both walked directly behind him.We all got into the hospital and put down our names with the lady at the desk.I led us to the room my mother was being held in, with nervousness and anxiety building up inside me again.
