Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Be Your Wife! Chapter 36
Ethan's POVAnastasia looked at me with an expressionless face. She didn't seem angry or annoyed. Shouldn't she be mad that I went against my own words?Exiting the last blog I checked, I dialed Rex's number. He picked up on the second ring.“Boss."“Meet me at the house now," I ordered, then ended the call.“What's the plan now?" Anastasia inquired.At that moment, I felt compelled to ask her a question.“Shouldn't you be angry right now? We're married in the public eye, and I practically cheated." She seemed too composed.At first, she frowned, then a knowing look crossed her face.“Oh, that? The doctor said you were drugged with a powerful substance that heightens your sex drive and makes you do practically anything the person in control says,” she replied.I'd never been so shocked in my life, not even when my grandmother brought new developments. I was drugged?My phone began ringing. It was Rex. I ignored the call and glanced at Anastasia once more before leaving the room.Rex w

Annelise's POVI didn't believe my ears at first. I had to pinch myself back to reality to check if I was really not dreaming.I've also been wondering how he intends to deal with the current issue on the ground. It's really getting wild that I had to just go offline completely.“You want us to pretend like we're fine and the rumors are untrue by going out together?” I asked again."You know what? Forget I asked. There must really be another way around this other than that.” He said, gesturing with his hand."I'll do it.” I voiced out before he could reach the door.He stopped walking, halting just by the door.“But in exchange for something." I added.“I should have known it's not going to be free. How much do you need?" He asked.I frowned at how he just jumped to a conclusion without hearing me say anything.“I don't want your money." I said, still frowning.Does he think everyone wants his money and that the whole world revolves around it?“What do you want then?” He asked, lookin

Ethan's POVHoots of people in the crowd met my ears as Anastasia and I tried to find our way in the stream of people at this carnival.This carnival is attended by almost half of New York City; they all went crazy the moment the announcer announced our arrival.I was thinking of any outing we could go on when Lucas's call came in, and he said an invitation to attend this year's carnival came in for me.It was a mistake on his part as the message never got to me. The carnival is exactly the kind of thing we needed. There are other business moguls here too, and this year's theme seemed a bit different from the other years.Anastasia seemed to be finding it hard to weave her way around, even with the heavy security leading us through and clearing the road.I just tightened my hold on her waist, so I was practically taking her with me.Different things were asked by people, but we ignored everything until we got to the high table where we were meant to sit.The fun part of the carnival h

Annelise's POVI woke up to bright lights in my eyes. Upon opening them, I realized it was the sun; the blinds were open, allowing sunlight to stream in directly.Turning to the other side, I attempted to rouse myself further. I buried my face deeper into the bed covers and was met with a familiar scent in that spot.My eyes flew open in delight. I could sleep here forever, inhaling this scent. But, wasn't I the only one who slept here? Who else could have been on the bed apart from me?Even though Ethan slept on it yesterday, I changed the covers to a completely new set. Inhaling it again, I realized it was so familiar, like something I had smelled yesterday. Shoot! It's Ethan's cologne. It must be really strong to still linger here.I stood up from the bed and rushed to the toilet, feeling the urge to vomit. I made the mistake of looking into the mirror. I looked terrible. The makeup from yesterday was smeared all over my face. The dress I wore yesterday still clung to me, and my ov

Annelise's POVI stare in awe at how tall and big the building is. My door was opened for me by Max, and I had to just come down.He must have thought that was the reason I was still in the car; I was too caught up gawking at the building to remember that I needed to get out.Once outside, I had to compose myself and look like I'm not just coming here for the first time.The parking lot was empty; we didn't see anyone at all. I almost wished it would be that way when we got into the building too, but the moment the sliding doors were open, I realized how wrong I was.It's just like how any office building would look like; different people were behind computers and were working, while some walked around carrying documents and whatnot.The moment I got into the lobby, though, almost everyone stopped working. Their eyes were on me and Max.“It's this way, ma'am," Max's voice made me start walking again. Our footsteps were the only thing that could be heard in that big-ass place.The mome

Annelise's POV“You helped me yesterday, I'm only trying to return the favor too, and also to keep my own side of the deal,” Ethan said.Wow, he really took that seriously. I was wondering what made him take my job hunting also serious; I almost didn't remember that we made a deal yesterday. And I didn't even do what I did because of this; I'm capable of getting a job by myself without the help of anyone.“Oh, you don't have to though. I'm sure I can do this on my own,” I said."I know you can, but that's before we got married to one another. Now, if you applied to any company and they see your picture with the name attached to it, every organization would want to employ you,” Ethan explained.“While that isn't a bad thing, they'll want to always gain your favor because of who you are. I'm very sure that's the major reason you didn't want to work here in the first place."“That's just the reality of things. This lifestyle can be very tiring, but there's really nothing we can do about

Ethan's POVAfter dropping Anastasia home, I drove straight to the place I'm meant to meet up with the other investigator I hired concerning Ken.He told me that he has something for me which can't be said on the phone; I'd rather want to see it. I only came because he said it wouldn't take up to thirty minutes.The address he gave me was so straightforward, I didn't have any issue identifying it at all.“Go straight to the point," I ordered him immediately. He was standing outside already.He looked around, probably checking to see if we were being followed then he started talking. Rex isn't far from here at all even if the need for an attack arises.“He's a trafficker. Not only a drug trafficker, he does it for children and women too," he said.I was expecting some dirty things on Ken, but definitely not this one. I was shocked to hear that; he doesn't even appear like someone who can hurt a fly.“How credible is what you just told me?" I asked him with a straight face.I've mastere

Annelise's POVA scream tore out of my mouth as I saw what Ethan was wearing fully. I thought the red was a shirt design or something, not knowing that it was blood.Ethan didn't look phased or anything, he just kept looking at me weirdly, he looked at his clothe then at me again.“B-blood." I spluttered.“Is that why you're acting this way? It's just blood." He shrugged.My throat went dry at what he just said, it's just ‘blood’? Is that meant to be something we just see randomly each day?!“Did you fight with someone?" I couldn't help but ask, I just had to."And how's that your concern?”I clamped my mouth shut again, it's how he's always quick to respond in tines like this that gets me. It's like he has a response to everything.“Well, it was either you engaged in a fight or you killed someone. You didn't kill anyone, did you?" I gasped at the last line.Ethan was quiet at first, his face was just blank before the corner of his lips lifted up, then a full blown smile came up on hi

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
