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

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;

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

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
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
