Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Be Your Wife! Chapter 156
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.

Ethan's POV “Bring him in!" I ordered my men over the phone. I sat on my office chair with a stony expression on my face. It was the morning after I went to the hospital with Annelise.I had instructed my men to go after Simon and ensure he was brought to me. I didn't care how they did it; all I knew was that they were currently at the parking lot with him.I waited almost impatiently for him to be brought in. Minutes later, they came in, dragging him by the collar. His hands were bound, and a cloth was placed over his mouth.“Thank you. You can all wait outside while I deal with him," I told my men, and they left me alone with Simon.I stood up from my chair almost immediately after they were gone. I was furious, and all I wanted was to bash his face in, but I needed to ask him certain questions first. Then I could decide what to do with him if he didn't comply.I removed the cloth from his mouth, and he yelled immediately. I laughed at how stupid he was.“Are you this dumb, or can

Annelise's POV I looked at him with my heart pounding in my chest. I should have known he was going to find out regardless of how much I lied that day.“I attended that event that night." I voiced out.A stone expression was on his face, “Why did you lie?” He asked."I'm sorry.” I mumbled with an apologetic look on my face."Are you? You had all the time since that day for you to tell me the truth, but you didn't. You made me feel like i was crazy because I was so sure that you were there?” He walked around the room with his hand going wild in his hair.“You know what's even more iconic? It's the fact that you looked so convincing that you didn't come. Why did you even lie? Did you connive with your father that night?" He asked.I knew no amount of apologies could make up for the number of times I'd lied to him since we knew each other. I now understood why Simon called me a coward. Instead of facing my issues head-on, I lied my way out of them.“I didn't connive with my father on an

Annelise's POV Right, I was telling him about how this pregnancy came about before we were interrupted yesterday, and now that there's no longer an interruption, it's just us now."Right, where was I?" I guess it's just time for us to talk about that night."You were talking about—" once again, we got interrupted by his phone. Even I internally cussed. It's now starting to look like the whole universe was against us at this point.“I’m turning this sh*t off now.” He cussed out angrily then long-pressed the power button. He threw the phone on the table; I'm sure that's going to leave a crack on the screen.I opened my mouth to talk again but was interrupted by my own phone. We both looked at one another then I looked at my own phone.“It’s a strange number," I mumbled as I picked up the phone."Can I see it? It might be the same person trying to reach me; I can recognize the number.” He said, and I raised up the phone to his eyes."It's the same one. Do you know it?" He asked, and I

Ethan's POVOne of my men was standing before me, looking really uncomfortable."You still haven't said anything. Do you mind leaving now?" I asked him after he just stood there.He sighed loudly. “There's an update concerning the accident from that night,” he said.I lifted up my head from the work I was doing. “What's the update?" I asked him, trying not to look like I was anxious and really wanted to know what he wanted to say.“We found out that Ken was at the scene of the accident, and I also got an eyewitness who was there. He said he only knows that the victim of the accident was in a coma.”"The eyewitness knows that?” I asked."Yes, he said the accident was pretty severe. He heard from a few people later that she's in a coma,” he replied.This just keeps getting even more serious. I can't remember driving that night, much less hitting someone. Besides, I didn't know that I was in the car with Ken normally.All I know is that for him to have lied that she was dead, he has been

Annelise's POV We moved into the house yesterday, two days after we both went to check it out. Life has been pretty normal since then; it's almost like the whole world doesn't matter when we're in the house.I chose a simple but beautiful house, nothing like the grandness of the other house. It's the kind of house that just looks like one normal couples would stay in.It's just that it was still in an estate, built for rich people. Ethan said we can't go lower than that because of his status, and this one just happens to be the simplest of the houses.We're currently in the kitchen, arguing about who cooks dinner tonight.“No, Ethan. I'm pregnant and not docile. I can work, and I'm making dinner tonight," I said in a strict voice.“What if you hurt yourself or something else happens? I won't be able to forgive myself. All I ask is that you relax.”I gritted out, "I'm not a baby, Ethan. And unless you want to see the wrath of a pregnant woman, you'll allow me to cook tonight.”The gla

Ethan's POV I saw Annelise's text that said she was going to the former house for something while I was in the meeting. I couldn't reply or call her right then as they were very important clients.But I knew that for her to have gone back to the house, it must be for something important. When I was done with the meeting, I dialed her number, but she wasn't picking up.The meeting lasted for up to four hours, so it's evening now. She should be back from the house already. On my way home, I dialed her number again, and she picked up this time.“Hey, I've been trying to reach you. Is everything okay?" I asked immediately she answered the call."Yes, I was sleeping, and I didn't hear it ring,” she replied.“Oh, I'm sorry for waking you up. I wanted to know if you're back from the house. I received your text," I said to her."I woke up before you called now, and I came back from the house this afternoon. There's something you need to know, though,” she said.“What's that?" I connected the

Ethan's POV I begged for Annelise's forgiveness all through the night, up until this morning before we both had to go to different places. I dropped her off at a place before I went my way this morning.She needed to drop off a painting somewhere. She assured me that she would take a cab home as it was going to take a long time before she would start heading back.We weren't back to normal again, but it’s better than last night. I f*cked up so much last night by letting my emotions get the better of me and by saying to her face that she said what she did because she was mad at me. I knew I had hurt her deeply, and the guilt gnawed at me relentlessly. Every time I thought about it, a wave of regret washed over me. I couldn’t believe I had been so insensitive, especially when she was only trying to protect me.I was almost at the office when I realized that I needed to pick up a file at the former house. I needed it this same morning, so I turned around and drove towards the house.Whe

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
