Annelise's POV If anything, Rex has been so supportive since I know him. Though I know everything he's doing attributes to Ethan since he's his boss.“I'll keep you updated on other things as time goes by. But it's nothing serious, that's if he stays indoors for three days." Rex said.As if on cue, the front doors were opened and Ethan came out dressed in suit. Rex and i's jaw dropped in shock.He looked at me for some seconds before looking away like I wasn't there at all before glancing at Rex.Even Rex wasn't dressed for work. “Why are you still here when you should be ready for work." He asked Rex."The doctor said-” Ethan cut him off."F*ck what the doctor told you, I'm okay. Is that the reason you're out here gisting when you should be getting ready for work?”I'd have surely supported him not going to work today if we were on speaking terms seeing how weak he looked yesterday, but I just couldn't say anything.I'm forced to believe that he's no longer talking about Rex not dre
Annelise's POVI booked a cab then walked to the estate's gate as I'm sure they wouldn't allow a cab to enter the gates. I used the nose mask from earlier on my face as I stood on one side.I got a notification that the cab has arrived, I looked around me to see a black car parked in the other side of the road that matched the description of the one the driver gave me.I crossed to the other side of the road and tapped on the window.“Annelise Simon?" He asked after winding down the window.I nodded and he opened the door of the back seat, I got in, adjusting my nose masks.“To the city hospital please.” I said to him, my voice a little bit muffled from the mask on my face.“Okay ma'am." He replied then started driving away.I looked out of the window, already deep in thought as the car sped towards the hospital.The drive was really quiet, the only thing that could be heard was the soft purr from engine, the man looks so focused on the road.“We’re here.” His voice broke my chain of
Annelise's POV “Contaminated, how?" I asked him with a frown on my face.“There's a substance in either the water you used for bathing or the one you drink." He replied.He's only confusing me the more, my brows furrowed together in confusion as I stared from him to the paper in my hand.“What I'm saying is that it's either someone did this to you unknowingly or the water is just contaminated normally. But if it's contaminated, it means everyone in the house is meant to have the same reaction to it."My mouth formed an 'oh' as realization dawned on me."So the water made these appear on me?” I asked."Yes, I'll prescribe an effective ointment that'd clear the marks, I'll advise that you purify your water very well before drinking too.” He replied.“And a drug that you only need to use for today so every other traces of the substance would be flushed from your system.” He added.“Thank you, would that be all?" I asked, feeling neutral.He scribbled down something on a paper before him
Annelise's POV All sorts of noise and words died down instantly, the reporters were practically shaking from the glare Ethan had on his face.He came to my side and looked at me with a really soft expression on his face.“Love, are you okay?" He sounds so genuine that I almost believed the act for a moment.I couldn't say anything, no matter how hard I tried, no words came out of my mouth. Ethan looked up from my face to the reporters who were trying to run off with fury in his eyes.“The f*ck do y'all think you're going?! Rex! Bring those men." He yelled and Rex came forward with five men heavily dressed in black.Everyone of the reporters were taken away into a van while they were all pleading. I was still too shaken up to say anything.“And you, what were you actually doing? You really want me down that bad?" He wasn't looking at me anymore, he was staring at a man behind me.“It's not my fault, Anastasia came to me, crying that you hit her and whatnot.” My father's voice replied
Ethan's POV She looked up at me with her hand subconsciously going to the neck part of the clothes she wore.“It's nothing you should know about." She muttered.“No. You're going to tell me the truth behind it now, not when it almost got us in trouble."“I wasn't hit by anyone like I said in the morning. Contaminated water." She responded.“Contaminated water, how? Did you visit anyone that lives in the downtown?" I asked, because there's just no way it's the water here.The downtown is the only place things like that are gottrn.“No, a substance was mixed with either the water I used to bath or drank. Right here.”I searched her face to check if she was lying or another one of her joking sh*ts but she looked genuine, not like I believe the look anyways.“You’re not the only one using the water, Annelise. How come it was only yours that was contaminated? Besides, do you even think anyone here would do such thing to you?” I asked.“Yes, she." She pointed at someone behind me.“Oh, no.
Annelise's POV “the f*ck?" I heard a voice above the water say.I used my hand to wipe away the water in my eyes so I could see properly as I just took a dip.It was Ethan, he stood at the edge of the pool, he held a towel in his hand. He looked shocked to see me but at the same time glaring at me.I walked out of the pool, taking careful steps when I got to the edge as my legs were watery. Ethan's eyes were still on me and I looked up to see that his eyes were on my chest now.I looked down to see that the white underwear I put on is now very transparent with the water soaked in it. My nipples were really visible.I placed my hands on them instantly, my cheeks now very warm. Ethan walked away from me without saying a word.He walked back into the house, leaving me alone to myself once more. I watched as he walked away from the pool side, back to the house.How come I'm always here just when he comes here too. I've always loved swimming, the way I'm just submerged in the water and it
Annelise's POV I ignored the call for yet another time, he keeps disturbing me with calls even though I block eveey number he uses to call me.The stranger I've been chatting with on the phone just doesn't want to rest. I started having mixed feelings about him when after a while.I'm busy painting yet another artwork but I've not been able to concentrate with the annoying beeping of my phone.I hissed annoyingly when he called again, I swiped on the green icon to accept the call.“What do you want?"“Hi." He said.“What do you want?” I asked again."I have something to tell you.” The person finally used their real voice. It's been an automated voice since the first and only time I picked the call."Who are you?”"Come on, Annelise, stop acting like you don't know who's speaking." The person said again.That voice, it's so familiar but I can't just pinpoint where I've heard it from."What do you have to tell me, some of us have better things to do with our time." I said.“It's someth
Annelise's POV Esther didn't say anything, but it was really obvious that she wanted to ask me a million questions. I watched as he walked up the stairs.I didn't see him before he left for the event, I'm only just seeing him now. At this point, it would definitely be a miracle if we made up.A huge part of me wants to badly talk to him, have a heart to heart conversation with him, I want him to know that I didn't intend to ever keep anything from him.Everything I do, every form of manipulation from my father that i consent to is because of my mother's health.I miss him so much and it looks like we weren't even acquaintances at some point because of how rocky our relationship is.I felr someone tap me, making mw jolt back to reality, I looked at her to see a shocked expression on her face.“Are you okay?” She asked me."Of course, I should be the one asking you that, I'm completely fine.” I forced out a smile.“I'm okay. I've been trying to get your attention for some time now, but
