Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Be Your Wife! Chapter 43
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

Ethan's POV“That's just the way it's done. You need to face reality and accept it that way." I looked down and continued eating. She didn't say anything too, neither did I look up to see the expression on his face.I heard her sigh then her cutleries started sounding, the rest of the meal was done in silence.When I was done with eating, Angela came to the dining room almost immediately.“Sir, someone is here to see you." She said.“Who is it?" I asked, I'm not expecting anyone. And even if I'm not, Rex is the one who comes in to relay this kind of message and not Angela.“Your brother." She said after being quiet for a while.I snapped my head up to look at her , even Anastasia stopped eating.“He's been outside way before you both started eating, he's been causing trouble outside since, the security men didn't open up the door, but he's saying something you might be interested in.” She rambled out.What the h*ll does he want now?I walked outside without saying any other thing, th

Ethan's POV“The board meeting has been shifted to tomorrow." Lucas said immediately I got to the office. He didn't even allow me to enter my office.“What?"“I was also as shocked as you are. I was told to inform you, they said they have really pending issues that need to be discussed soon.” He said. “They made that decision without running it through me? Who instigated it?” I asked him."Your grandmother.” He answered simply.I should have known, she's so hellbent on making sure Ken becomes the president."I think it's high time we have a conversation now.” I said under my breath.“She's actually in your office right now.”My jaw ticked as I tried to compose myself from barking out at him or doing something I mightn't later regret that would hurt him."Get back to work, I'll let you know when I need your help again." I ordered Lucas. He looked reluctant to go at first, like he wanted to ask me a question, but then he left.I opened the door to my office to be met with my grandmother

Annelise's POVI slept into the afternoon; I only thought I'd rest a little after Ethan left for work, only for me to wake up in the afternoon.I wouldn't call this a development, but I don't dare try this in my father's house. No matter how tired or sick I am, I need to wake up before anyone else, else there would be a problem.My phone's screen came on, making me turn towards it. I saw that it's a call that just dropped; I just missed it. I really need to stop putting that device on silent mode.I swiped up to see that I've missed ten calls from my father. I sat up on the bed immediately after seeing that.It must be important for him to call me that many times, and the only thing I'd consider important that has to do with him and concerns me is my mother.I called him back immediately, and he answered as though he was expecting me to call him before.“I thought you were ignoring my calls. What made you call back now, you insolent child?” He said immediately after accepting the call

Annelise's POVI had no idea what to do; asking Ethan for money isn't even an option for me—he has seen me as a gold digger more than once.Asking him for money for treatment for someone I haven't even laid eyes on or know the whereabouts of would definitely be out of proportion."I can't allow them to take off the machines, I can't. It's the only thing keeping her alive; I'd be damned if anything happens to her again," I said to myself.I picked up my phone to dial my father's number again; I needed to at least know how much they were asking to fly her abroad.He didn't pick up; I kept getting directed to voicemail. I tried over and over again, still the same.I decided to call him later. I need to start getting plans in place now; my father is as good as useless to me in this matter—he wasn't joking when he said he wouldn't spend a penny on her again.I kept moving around in the room; I didn't even know what I was looking for. I was really confused and disoriented.I was about to en

Annelise's POVI started going upstairs to his study room, taking the stirs two at a time.When I got to the door, I knocked immediately. I didn't hear any response at first, so I knocked again."Come in," I heard faintly from inside.I pushed the door open, revealing the face of the last person I wanted to see.I went straight to him without thinking twice or closing the door behind me."I believe your mother taught you well enough to close the door behind you whenever you enter a place where the door was locked prior," he said without taking his eyes off whatever he was doing on that laptop."You didn't have to mention her; you don't even have the right to take her name in your mouth," I said with so much venom in my voice.He eventually lifted his face from the laptop, chuckling when he looked at me. "I didn't mention her name though, I only said 'your mother.'"I didn't go back to close the door; I just kept glaring at him."Would you at least have your seat? I believe we have some

Annelise's POV"Something is going on here, are you hiding someone in the room?" I frowned at the question. "I'm not hiding anyone, I'm the only one here," I replied."Why are you blocking the door then?" he asked. I moved away from the door in an instant, allowing him entry.He stepped inside, scanning the room as though he was searching for someone."You really think I'm hiding someone? Why would I even do that? It's not like I have anyone to hide," I scoffed."While I don't care about what you do, or want to know about your lost life, it wouldn't do us both any good if someone else finds out about your secret.""Can you just stop talking about what the public thinks about anything concerning what I do for once?" I asked, growing tired of that line."It's what we're in this for, right?" I sighed. "What are you here for? I'm not in the mood for any chitchat right now."“I was told that you haven't eaten since last night. It's evening now. Yet you said I shouldn't bring in what t

Ethan's POV I woke up feeling like sh*t. Opening my eyes made me groan because of the headache I was attacked with.It was like my head was being pounded on with something hard. I dragged myself up from sleep and walked to the bathroom.I washed my face with water, looking into the mirror to see how messy I looked.“Last night must have been so crazy." I muttered to myself.I had gone out last night out of anger to grab a drink or two, away from this house after receiving a call from Lucas concerning what's happening today.I have no idea what happened after that, all i could remember was going into the car with Rex. He must have also taken me upstairs.I had my bath at once, groaning every now and then as my head pounded hard. I stood under the shower, allowing the cold water steam down my body.A cold shower has always helped to ebb hangovers, so I was relieved a bit by the time I came out of the bathroom.I got dressed and started going downstairs after taking my suitcase and phon

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
Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Be Your Wife! Chapter 168
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
Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Be Your Wife! Chapter 167
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
