Annelise's POV

“No, Rex, you don't know what you're saying, it can't be me." I said with so much certainty in my voice.

"I do know you're both going through some things right now, but trust me when I say I've never seen boss that happy as he was when you both were on good terms.” He replied.

"I did really unforgivable things, I don't even think he's ever going to talk to me. I'm a bad person, Rex. Forget about the gentle facade and all, Ethan deserves a better person.”

He was about to reply me when Max came in with a man behind him. I didn't need anyone to tell me that it's the doctor.

“Good evening Mrs Harrington." The doctor greeted me when they got to where I was standing with Rex. Rex stepped forward to shake hands with him.

“Come with me, I'll take you to him." Rex said and the doctor followed him.

Once again, I'm left alone with my own thoughts once more. I sighed then started walking upstairs, I had the intention of going into my room but paused when I got to Ethan's door.

    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

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."

    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

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.

    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
