Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Be Your Wife! Chapter 51
Ethan's POV“Let's begin.”The tension in the room could be sliced through with a knife; it was that thick.My grandmother cleared her throat and spoke first. “I welcome you all to today's board meeting. It's good to see you all again, and I hope today's meeting ends on a good note.”The look on everyone's face made it very obvious that what she just said was just for formality, and they all just wanted to get into today's meeting.“I'll leave it to Ethan, the acting CEO, to start today's meeting,” she said, making everyone turn their attention to me.I started with all the normal business activities that were meant to be the reason for today's meeting. They were all pleased with the profit the company has been recurring.“That's commendable. The profit and all, I mean. But we need someone else who the general public likes better than they do you,” one of the shareholders said.And just like that, the meeting shifted to the major reason we were here in the first place.“I second that.

Annelise's POVI don't know what prompted me to hug him; all I knew was that at that moment, all I wanted was to hug him.It was so obvious that Ethan was too shocked to react or do anything. I hugged him even tighter though.The last time I felt so scared, like I did when I heard that he was missing, was when my mother was admitted to the hospital.He cleared his throat after a while. “What are you doing?” he asked.“Hugging you? That's what friends do," I answered, more like a question.He broke the hug immediately I said that, with so much force.“Who said we're friends?"“Well, we aren't enemies, are we? And the opposite of enemies is friends. I just put two and two together and came up with that.”"Besides, we've been getting along really well lately, right?" I added.I don't even know what to call the expression on his face; it was just blank but mixed with confusion.“Call it whatever you wish to call it. I'm going upstairs; I'm getting really uncomfortable in these clothes," h

Annelise's POVAngela left Ethan and me alone, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets because of how scared she looked.Even after she had left, Ethan still looked pretty angry. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes focused on the spot where she had been standing.“Why do you allow her to talk to you that way?” he asked.I frowned a little bit. “I don't allow her to talk to me in any way. It's just that you walked in on her talking. I would have replied to her myself,” I defended myself.“I know you would have done that. What I'm saying is that she wouldn't dare talk to me that way. And don't say it's because I'm her boss, technically you are too. And she's meant to respect you the same way she does me.”“You really think it would be the same way with you?” I scoffed.“Maybe it would have been like that if I was another famous person and not just me. I'm used to this kind of treatment from people. Though I confront her most times when she does that.”Ethan looked taken aback at fir

Ethan's POVI saw Max and Rex immediately I got downstairs, which made me pause a bit. Seeing them now gives me an inkling of what could have brought them here.“Good evening, boss," they both greeted me simultaneously.I glanced toward Anastasia; she was focused on her phone and wasn't looking at us.“What's the problem?” I asked. They don't come in here unless there's a special message or an activity.“There's something you might want to know,” Max said.I looked between them, then back at Anastasia. I don't even know why I kept staring at her.“Uh, I'll be back in a bit; we'll just be outside,” I said to her. She raised her head and nodded at me.I stepped out with Rex and Max coming up behind me.“Speak,” I ordered when we got outside.“Uh, we just found out that someone has been trailing you,” Max started."Trailing me, how?”“When we got back to the estate, Rex noticed a car parked horizontally opposite the house. It's at a reasonable distance from us but still looked suspicious

Annelise's POV“And why do you sound so surprised that I'm doing the dishes?” Ethan asked me without taking his eyes off the plates he was washing.“It's surprising. You don't even look like someone who steps foot in the kitchen,” I replied.He eventually lifted his head and looked at me. “How am I meant to look if I step foot in the kitchen?” He asked, smirking.“I don't know, maybe less attractive?” I clasped my hand over my mouth immediately after I said that. It was purely a slip of the tongue; I didn't even think twice before voicing it out.My face was really warm from how hard I was blushing. Ethan now had a proud smirk on his face, “You think I'm attractive?” he asked, the smirk more obvious on his face.“No, I—it was just a slip of the tongue,” I stuttered.“Really? You mean to say you don’t mean it at all?”“I did not,” I confirmed.That proud smirk on his face started making me uneasy, especially when he started moving closer to me.I moved back until my back hit the counte

Ethan's POVI stared blankly at the paper before me; I've been trying so hard to fully comprehend what's in it, but I kept getting distracted mentally.My mind would flash back to the kiss I shared with Anastasia two days ago. It's now like a script that's being played over and over again in my head.I've tried so hard to concentrate countless times, but I just end up thinking about how perfectly her lips fit mine.She looked really hot standing before me on the counter that day, and I couldn't resist kissing her over and over again.All I wanted to do was to torture her a little so that she'd be left needy, then I would detach from her.I didn't have it in mind to kiss her on the lips, but coming in close contact with her pink lips drew me in like I was under a spell.“F\*ck!” I cussed out of frustration.I was starting to feel aroused just from thinking of her again; what in the world did she do to me?!I closed my eyes shut, trying to think of something else that would take my mind
Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Be Your Wife! Chapter 57
Ethan's POVThe moment I entered the house, I had the feeling that something was wrong somewhere. I looked around the living room, trying to take in some details that were out of place.Almost immediately, I heard rushed footsteps coming downstairs. I knew instantly that it was Anastasia; I don't know why, but my heart started beating a little bit faster in anticipation of seeing her.When she came into view, I realized that this wasn't the same Anastasia I had left at home. Her eyes were huge and looked kind of scared.“Where have you been?" she hiccuped.“I've been out. What's the problem?" I asked, almost frowning."I was… I was so scared. I thought th—that something was wrong with you too," she stuttered, tears brimming in her eyes.“Scared of what? I'm right here before you. Did anything happen to you? Did anyone touch you? Did they come in? Where's Max?" I bombarded her with questions.At that point, I didn't even remember that I was also trying to settle some things personally;
Mr. CEO, I Was Forced To Be Your Wife! Chapter 58
Annelise's POVWe were soon done with eating, or when he was done with eating since I've been done with eating for a while now and was barely just watching him eat.“You still didn't eat much,” he said with a frown on his face, his eyebrows pulled together.Truth is I've been feeling really nauseous since afternoon. If I ate more than I've done already, I'd just end up throwing up all over the place.“I'm okay, I had a large lunch, that should be the reason,” I lied, keeping up a little smile on my face.I took my plate to the kitchen, not even bothering with his since I know fully well that he won't allow me to help him.I yawned almost immediately after we were done in the kitchen. The only thing I was thinking of was to sleep on my bed till tomorrow. I felt so tired.“It's not fully night yet, and you're feeling sleepy already. Is everything okay?” He asked me.Who would have thought that Ethan was an observer too? He seemed to have noticed that I don't sleep early.“I'm really tir
