The return of the Heiress Thirty three
Chapter thirty three.Evelyn's POV.I groaned, slowly opening my eyes. My head felt heavy, and I shut them again, trying to shake off the haze. When I opened them again, everything was blurry. I closed my eyes once more and tried again, this time focusing slowly.As my vision cleared, I struggled to sit up, looking around the unfamiliar room. It didn't resemble my room or Ethan's. This room was larger, painted a soft pink, with white curtains.My gaze wandered to the king-size bed, which was also pink, including the bedsheets. The dressing table matched the pink theme. For a moment, I thought my drunkenness was playing tricks on me. I closed my eyes and opened them again – everything still looked the same."Where am I?" I wondered, feeling a surge of panic. I can't remember anything from yesterday aside me going home after the court case.I wanted to call out for help, but a part of me suspected I might be kidnapped, and alerting whoever was holding me might not be the best idea.I

Chapter thirty four.Alex's POV.Her face turned cold, and I chuckled. "What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" I asked, but she remained silent, staring at me. I continued, "I'm only asking you to defend me for money laundering and drugs. Why are you acting like I'm proposing?"Her expression changed, and she finally spoke up. "Did you get involved in money laundering and drugs?" she asked.I nodded. "Yes, I did. And there's evidence, thanks to your father," I said, my anger rising.She looked confused. "My father? What does he have to do with this?" she asked.I wanted to confront her about her father's past actions, which had ruined my family. But I bit my tongue, knowing this wasn't the time for banters."Your father didn't get the facts straight," I said, my anger boiling over. "He accused my family of money laundering and drugs, pressed charges, and manipulated the outcome. We were wrongly convicted."As expected, she defended her father, saying; “My father would never lie. He's a

Chapter thirty five.Evelyn's POV.I couldn't believe what Alex had said. If my dad had pressed charges against his family for money laundering and drugs, it meant they were guilty. I couldn't defend someone who had committed such crimes. That would make me no better than Ethan and Olivia.Moreover, my dad had brought the charges, and Alex was expecting me to call him a liar. That was something I couldn't do.I slammed my hands against the wall, cursing my own stupidity. "Damn it!" I exclaimed, wincing in pain. Defending Alex would ruin my law firm's reputation - too much was at stake.I had to get out. Taking a deep breath, I headed to the window. The second-floor drop was risky, but I didn't care. Staying with Alex was already a nightmare.I closed my eyes, feeling a wave of desperation. Could I ever find happiness? It seemed like every time I thought I could, something came crashing down. I was allergic to happiness, it seemed. With a surge of anger, I prepared to make my escape.

Chapter one.Evelyn's POV.“Your husband wants you dead!”My knuckles whitened as my grip on the steering wheel tightened. The person on the other end of the line had to be lying.“That can't be true," I stammered. "There must be some mistake. My husband would never try to kill me.”The line went silent, and for a moment, I thought I'd lost the connection. Then her voice came back, urgent and firm. "I know this is difficult to believe, but you need to get out of the car. Now!”As she spoke, a shiver ran down my spine.That's when I noticed something was wrong. The car was acting strangely. My gaze shifted towards the dashboard, and my heart skipped a beat. The gas gauge needle flickered ominously, and the steering wheel felt unsteady in my hands.I tried to turn the wheel to the right, but the car refused to respond. It continued to speed straight ahead, as if controlled by an invisible force. A cold dread twisted in my stomach. This was not just a coincidence. I slammed the wheel

Chapter two.Evelyn’s POV.The doctor's piercing gaze locked onto mine, his eyes assessing me intensely. “This is unusual,” he said, scanning the clipboard, his tone confident. "You did hit your head, but the tests don't show any memory loss. Cases like this are extremely rare, almost unheard of.”I remained silent, gripping the blanket that draped over me. My heart pounds in my chest as he studies me further, hoping he wouldn't expose my secret. His gaze flickered toward my husband. No, Ethan, who stands by the doors. His posture stiff, his expression unreadable, the sight of him sends a cold shiver down my spine. “If you don't mind,” the doctor says.“ I would like to speak to my patient alone for a moment.” Ethan didn’t move at first, his fingers twitch, his jaw clenches, but after a brief hesitation, he nods. His eyes lingered on me for a second, too long before he turned and stepped out of the room, shutting the door behind him. The moment he's gone, I release the breath I

Chapter 3.Evelyn’s POV.Walls of the hospital room felt like they were closing down on me. I felt like I was suffocating, unable to catch my breath. My fingers clutched the coarse fabric of my hospital gown, desperate to anchor myself. But my legs trembled beneath me, and a searing ache spread through my chest. It wasn't physical pain, but the crushing weight of betrayal, threatening to consume me whole.I shouldn't be here, listening to their conversation but my legs couldn't move no matter how hard I tried. I pressed my back against the cold wall.My heart pounded against my ribs as I heard their voices. Their tone was infuriatingly casual, utterly cruel, as if nothing ever happened.Olivia's voice dripped with scorn and amusement. "She's more useless now than ever," she sneered. "Not only is she insane, but also barren. Our child will inherit everything.”The moment I heard those words, I froze on the spot. A cold shivers run down my spine, spreading through my lips like ice.

Chapter 4.Evelyn’s POV.“My wife.”My mouth opened wide, what the heck was going on? Bang!I whipped my head around, my eyes locking onto the source of the noise. Ethan's face was a deep, fiery red, a vein bulging at his temple like a warning sign. His expression was a mix of shock and anger. “You liar!” Ethan roared, his hand twisting into a fist. “She’s my wife.”The man beside me remained calm and composed, utterly unfazed by Ethan's anger. He tilted his head slightly, an amused smirk dancing on his lips, his eyes glinting with a hint of mockery. “I'm lying?” he asked. “That's rich coming from a man who's trying to claim something that was never his to begin with.”Ethan lunged forward, his fists clenched, but before he could reach him, two guards in black suits seized Ethan and Olivia, pinning them in place with an unyielding grip.“Let go of me.” Ethan yelled, struggling against the guard. “You have no right to do this.”Olivia shrieked, trying to claw at the guard's hand,

Chapter 5.Evelyn’s POV. The car ride home was suffocating. Ethan drove, his grip firm on the wheel, but his eyes flicked to me in the rearview mirror. Every few seconds, it wasn't a look of concern, it was something else: like he was studying me. I shifted my gaze, trying to ignore the way my skin prickled under his stare. The leather felt cold against my fingers as I gripped the edge of the seat, my knuckles turning white.Olivia sat beside him, completely unbothered, scrolling through her phone. I forced my breathing to stay even, my hands resting calmly on my lap. If they suspected anything, I was as good as dead. When we pulled up to the house.Ethan opened the door for me. “Let's get you settled down, honey, you need a lot of rest.” He smiled genuinely. I nodded as he guided me to our mansion. Olivia walked behind us. Ethan led me down the hall, he stopped in front of the guest room door.He pushed the door open. “This is your room.” I wanted to yell at him right now,

Chapter thirty two.Alex’s POV."Evelyn," I said, but before I could process anything, she pressed her lips to mine.I gasped in surprise and pulled away immediately. What's happening? Evelyn laughed, clearly drunk, and leaned in to kiss me again. "Evelyn, stop," I said firmly.But she shook her head, her eyes welling up with tears. "No, I won't," she slurred.She began to sob, her words tumbling out in a despairing whisper. "No one likes me... everyone hates me."I tried to comfort her, opening my arms. "Shh, Evelyn, come closer."But she flinched away, still crying. I wished she wouldn't drink so much ."Evelyn, stop crying," I said, trying to sound firm, but it came out more like a plea. I had more important things to do, but I was stuck here with her.I pulled her close and hugged her, patting her back. "I'm here, I don't hate you," I said softly.But as soon as the words left my lips, she pulled away, her face twisted in a frown. "You hate me. You're always grumpy, your face

Chapter thirty one.Evelyn's POV.As Olivia ranted on, she didn't notice the police officers sneaking up behind her. I caught her attention with a mischievous smile, gesturing for her to turn around. Her eyes widened as she took in the scene, and she flinched when she saw the officers.The officers swiftly handcuffed her, announcing, "You're under arrest for being an accomplice to attempted murder." Olivia's eyes darted to me, her face contorted in shock and anger."Evelyn, you did—" she began, but her voice trailed off as I smiled smugly. "Yes, I pressed the charges," I said, my voice calm and collected.Olivia's face turned red with rage as she snarled, "You betrayed me!" She lunged forward, trying to reach me, but the officers pulled her back.I stared at her, my smile unwavering. "This is what betrayal tastes like, darling," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "Why are you complaining? I just gave you a taste of your own medicine.”Olivia's face contorted in rage as she hurled

Chapter thirty.Evelyn's POV.My heart was racing as I stared at the judge, my hands clasped together in anticipation. The judge began to speak, "With all the evidence presented from both parties, I hereby declare..." He paused, looking at us, and I held my breath. "Mr. Ethan Blackwood..." He trailed off again, and I swallowed hard, closing my eyes.The judge continued, "Mr. Ethan Blackwood, guilty." I let out a loud cry of joy and rushed to Alex, hugging him tightly. "I did it! I did it! I did it!" I exclaimed, and he held me close.The judge slammed his gavel, shouting, "Order! Order! Order!" I released Alex and returned to my seat.The judge continued, "Mr. Ethan Blackwood is guilty of attempted murder and theft. However, regarding the bigamy charge, due to hospital records indicating Evelyn Blackwood's memory loss and lack of concrete evidence, he is acquitted of that count.”I nodded, trying to hold back tears. Although I wanted Ethan to face punishment for bigamy, I was satis
The return of the Heiress chapter twenty nine.
Chapter twenty nine.Evelyn's POV.Two weeks later.Two weeks had passed since I submitted my application to the court, and I'd received the notice three days ago. Today was the day of the hearing, and I had decided to represent myself.I took a deep breath as I put on my wig and stepped out of the mansion. Alex was waiting for me."Got all your evidence?" he asked.I nodded. "Yes, everything's ready."As we drove to the court, my heart beat faster. This was the toughest thing I'd ever done – defending a case like this, especially since Ethan was once the person I loved.When we arrived at the court, Alex whispered, "You can do this."I nodded, and we stepped out of the car, surrounded by reporters."How do you feel about this?" one of them asked."What if your husband is innocent?" one of the reporters asked.Alex's guard pushed the press aside as Alex held my hand tightly, leading me to the courtroom. Once inside, Alex gave me a reassuring smile, and I smiled back before taking my s

Chapter twenty Eight.Evelyn's POV.Ethan struggled against the police, saying, "Evelyn, tell them the truth! I didn't try to kill you!" But I just watched him, thinking about how hard it had been for me to deal with him until now. Finally, the whole world got to see his true side.As I watched Ethan plead with me, I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders. I looked up to see Alex, who was gently rubbing my back. I tried to smile, but inside, I was shaking. I didn't want to worry Alex, who had already warned me not to do this because of my health."But what can I do? This is a murder case; I need evidence, not emotions. But now, everything had changed. The whole scene had unfolded in public, and everyone had witnessed it. This was all the evidence I needed.As I stood there, everything around me began to blur. I stumbled, my hands rising to my head. The last thing I heard was Alex screaming my name: "Evelyn!" Then, everything went black.I groaned, struggling to open my eyes. My eyel

Ethan, oblivious to what was about to unfold, assured me that everything was ready.As we prepared to leave, I double-checked with Ethan to make sure he had packed all my essentials. "Darling, everything is ready," he said, closing the car door. "Are you sure? Did you carry my water bottle? My hat? My...?"Ethan cut me off, smiling. "You worry too much. I already got them."I chuckled, trying to appear nonchalant. "You can't blame me."Ethan kissed my cheeks, and I let him, knowing that in less than five hours, he would be behind bars.We arrived at the crowded meet-and-greet event for A-list celebrities, which was being held near a water area. I had chosen to attend the concert because of the location, intending to use it to my advantage.As we navigated through the crowd, Ethan whispered, "I hate crowds."I smiled, taking my hat and water
