The return of the Heiress chapter twenty
Chapter twenty.Evelyn's POV.It was party day, and I watched as the decorations went up. Olivia had been working hard to get everything ready. The CCTV footage confirmed Olivia's partner needed cash to pay some bills, and since their account was frozen, she decided to host this party to get money. And Ethan, foolishly, helped her. I wondered how Ethan never asked her how she spends her money, but then again, I shouldn't expect anything else from thieves like them.As the guests arrived, Olivia stood at the entrance, smiling and welcoming everyone. But when she saw Alex, she paused, her eyes darting back and forth between us. I quickly walked over to her, smiling. "Alex, you're here!" I said, not giving Alex a chance to respond before I was pulled into a corner."What is he doing here? You invited him, didn't you?" Olivia asked, firing off questions in rapid succession. "I thought you said you'd tell us if he contacted you? You both still communicate right?"I smiled calmly. "How

Chapter twenty one.Evelyn's POV.My eyes flicked to my wristwatch, and I smiled to myself. It was time to put Olivia in her place. The lights dimmed, and I counted down, a sense of anticipation building inside me. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Boom!The only light in the room came from the projector, and the sound of moans filled the air. Then, Olivia appeared on screen, and her eyes widened in shock. She was kissing a young man in the video. My gaze shifted to Ethan, whose eyes were also wide with surprise, before darting back to Olivia.I had carefully edited the video to stop at the point where they were undressing, avoiding the part where they had sex. The next clip showed them discussing their plan to run away with the money they would steal from Ethan. Olivia was frantic, screaming, "Stop this video! Who's in charge? Stop this!" But no one responded.As the video ended and the lights came back on, Ethan's face turned red with rage, and in a split second, he slapped Olivia.The r

Chapter twenty two.Evelyn's POV.Olivia gasped, her eyes wide with shock, as she rubbed her face. Alex dragged me from behind, pulling me to face him. "What are you doing?" he whispered. I replied in a hushed tone, "I know what I'm doing, Alex. Trust me."Alex stared at me for a moment before releasing his grip. I turned to face Olivia, who looked at me in shock. "You and my husband had something going on, and you lied about him trying to kill me?" I accused, trying to act like I was angry."Why would I lie?" Olivia shot back. "Did you think your accident just happened?" I smiled inwardly, knowing I'd pushed her to reveal more. I needed to know what had led to my "accident" and why they'd decided to kill me."Anyone can have an accident, Olivia," I said, trying to keep my cool. "Don't blame my Ethan. He would never hurt anyone, not even a fly.”Olivia let out a sarcastic laugh. "Yes, anyone can have an accident," she said, bursting into laughter again. "Ethan was right; you're v

Chapter twenty three.Evelyn's POV "Thank you, Evelyn, for trusting us," he said, but I just stared at him and walked away. I made my way to the stage, took the microphone, and began to speak. "It's a shame that an occasion meant to be joyful ended on such a sour note," I said, meeting the pitying gazes of the guests. I despised being looked at with pity; it made me feel weak. But I wasn't weak – I was my father's daughter, and I wouldn't let anyone make me feel otherwise.I gripped the microphone tightly and continued, "I appreciate each and every one of you for coming, but unfortunately, the party has come to an end." With that, I dropped the microphone. Alex approached me, offering his hands, and I placed mine in his. He helped me down from the stage. Just then, I heard Ethan calling my name – "Evelyn.”I locked eyes with Ethan, but I wasn't having it. "Not now, people are watching," I said, tightening my grip on Alex's arm. Ethan's eyes blazed with anger, and I couldn't hel

Chapter twenty four.Ethan's POV.I called out, "Evelyn, please!" but she ignored me, climbing the stairs instead. I clenched my fists in frustration, stomping my feet on the ground. "Fuck!" I exclaimed.I blamed Olivia for the mess. "That fool!" I muttered. Women always let their emotions get the better of them. I should have known Olivia wouldn't hesitate to reveal our plan. My five years of hard work were now down the drain.I rubbed my hands through my hair, trying to think, to make sense of everything.I dialed Olivia's number, but she didn't pick up. I called again, and she finally answered, her tone arrogant. "What do you want? Insult me some more?" I let out a hiss, covering my mouth with my hand so Evelyn wouldn't hear me."Where are you?" I asked, trying to keep my voice low. Olivia responded, "How does that concern you?" I sighed, frustrated. "Meet me at the canteen nearby." Olivia laughed, saying, "You think I'm Evelyn, who'll follow your orders like a fool?" I knew

Chapter twenty five.Evelyn's POV.As I turned to head back upstairs, I realized I had left my phone behind. I turned around to see Ethan picking it up, and I quickly grabbed it from him. But it was too late; he had already seen the message on my screen."Who's the man you found?" Ethan asked, his eyes narrowing. My eyes darted to my phone and it was Alex's text about finding Adrian was still on my phone, and I hadn't saved his number, so Ethan had no idea who it was from.Ethan repeated, "Evelyn, I'm talking to you."I thought fast and came up with a lie. "Oh, this? It's from the police. Someone tried to rob me at the gym, and I reported it." I was surprised by how easily the lie rolled off my tongue. I guess living with liars has taught me a thing or two.“Hmmmm,” Ethan hummed, clearly skeptical. "You didn't tell me about the robbery," he said."I didn't want to bother you," I replied.Ethan scoffed. "Evelyn, you know your problems are mine. Why would you hide something like thi

Chapter twenty six.Evelyn's POV.It didn't take long for the sleeping pill to kick in, and Ethan fell asleep on the couch. I quickly got dressed, grabbed the car keys, and drove to Alex's office.I arrived fast and apologized as soon as I entered his office. "Sorry I'm late."Alex didn't say anything, so I pulled up a chair and sat across from him. "Good morning," he said, and I raised an eyebrow."This is new, you greeting me first?" I teased, but Alex just scoffed. "I'm teaching you manners."Before I could respond, the door opened, and my eyes darted to the entrance. Mr. Adrian walked in, and I exclaimed, "Oh my!" I jumped up to hug him, and he hugged me back tightly. Mr. Adrian was like a father to me.I pulled away from the hug. "It's been so long! Where have you been?" I asked, eager to catch up.Mr. Adrian shared with me how Ethan had falsely accused him of stealing company funds. Despite trying to clear his name, he was unable to prove his innocence and was fired. He wanted t

Chapter twenty seven.Evelyn’s POV.The day of my plan's execution had finally arrived. Alex texted me that he was on his way to the location. 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

The return of the Heiress chapter forty one
Chapter forty one.Evelyn's POV.The fork slipped from my hand, clattering to the plate. "You're joking, right?" I asked, disbelieving.Alex shook his head, his expression grim. He spoke briefly into the phone, "I'll call you back. Thanks for the information," before hanging up.I stood up, my mind reeling. "Ethan escaped from prison," Alex had said. The words echoed in my head, and I felt like I was in a daze.Alex called out to me, "Evelyn, Evelyn," but I wasn't listening. I was about to climb the stairs when he grabbed me, spinning me around aggressively. I turned to face him, but my brain was blank, and I couldn't read his expression."Talk to me, Evelyn," Alex said, but I just stared at him, trying to process the news. Ethan's escape meant I was in trouble, and I felt a wave of fear. I gasped.Alex called out to me again, but I didn't respond. He gently tapped my face, trying to snap me out of it. "Evelyn, listen to me," he said.That's when I reached out and hugged him tightl
The return of the Heiress chapter forty
Chapter forty.Evelyn's POV.The next day, Alex and I went to court, where I filed a notice to reopen the case. The reaction was one of surprise, with many assuming my father had ensured justice for the innocent. Little did they know, my hands were tied.Alex shadowed me everywhere, ensuring I didn't do anything unexpected. After we finished in court, we stepped outside, and I was surprised to see paparazzi waiting. My eyes narrowed at Alex, who simply smirked, and I clenched my fists."What’s the meaning of this?" I asked, annoyed. But he simply ignored my existence. Involving the paparazzi wasn’t necessary. Alex stepped closer, wrapped his arm around my shoulders, and whispered, "Smile."I adjusted my sunglasses, forced a smile, and Alex held my hand as the paparazzi swarmed us with questions. "Miss Evelyn, are you really defending Alex?" one of them asked. I ignored the question and pushed through the crowd.Another reporter asked, "You defended your ex-husband on murder charg

Chapter thirty nine.Evelyn's POV.My head felt heavy as I struggled to open my eyes. Finally, I managed to pry them open and found Alex sitting across from me. As soon as he saw I was awake, he stood up and walked over to my bed."How are you feeling?" he asked. I tried to sit up, but he gently held me down. He removed a cold towel from my forehead, and I raised my eyebrows in surprise.My gaze met Alex's, and he explained, "You fainted last night." I could only manage a soft "ohh" before collapsing back onto the bed, feeling overwhelmed. Being around him felt awkward. Then, Alex said, "Open your mouth," and my gaze snapped to him. He was holding a thermometer, which he placed under my tongue. After a moment, he removed it."Your temperature is normal now," he said, and I nodded, laying back down. I could sense he wanted to say something more, but I wasn't interested. Given our situation, I didn't want to be friends with Alex – ever."Sorry," Alex said suddenly, and I turned to

Chapter thirty Eight.Evelyn's POV.He took a step closer, and I backed away until my back hit the wall, trapping me. My heart was racing wildly as Alex loomed over me, his eyes blazing with a cold intensity.I didn't realize I'd whispered "please" until the word was already out, a desperate plea in the face of his unyielding stare.Alex slammed his hands against the wall above my head, his eyes blazing with fury. "What are you doing here?" he thundered. I swallowed hard, sweat trickling down my face despite the chill in the room."Answer me!" he barked. I squeezed my eyes shut, whispering "please" – the only word I could manage. Seeing Alex like this terrified me. I wondered what he would do to me – would he hit me, humiliate me, or something worse?Suddenly, Alex swept me off the floor, dragging me abruptly. "Alex, please!" I begged, but he didn't respond.”Alex! Please don't do this”The maid stood by, watching me with pity in their eyes as Alex's grip held me firm.I stood bef

Chapter thirty seven.Evelyn's POV."Did I say something wrong?" I asked, noticing her sudden change in expression. She shook her head, still frowning, and dropped the napkin she was holding."What do you want from his room?" she asked, her tone guarded. I hesitated, rubbing the back of my neck. "Nothing," I lied, but she clearly didn't believe me.She stared at me knowingly but didn't press the issue. "You can access most rooms, but the boss's room is off-limits," she said."Why?" I asked, feeling a surge of frustration. "I'm not a criminal, if there's anyone who is then he's…." I bit my tongue, realizing I was about to reveal too much.I took a deep breath, composing myself. I opened my eyes and forced a smile, trying to diffuse the tension."I'm sorry about that," I mumbled, trying to appease her. She smiled and said, "It's fine." But I felt like screaming – how could it be fine? She took my hands, her expression softening. "You're like a daughter to me, which is why I'm warn
The return of the Heiress chapter thirty six.
Chapter thirty six.Evelyn's POV.I took the phone and my eyes widened in shock. There was a picture of Alex kissing my cheek, and I had no memory of it. I recalled the day the photos were taken – Alex had insisted on taking pictures, but nothing like this.My gaze darted to Alex, who stood in front of me with a smirk, his hands in his pockets. "What?" he asked, snatching the phone from my hand. He walked closer to me, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Imagine what would happen if I post this online and tell everyone we're in a relationship. What do you think people would say?""Don't even think about it," I warned, but he just chuckled. "Shh," he said, placing his hand over my mouth. "If I post this, people will think you had your husband locked up so you could cheat on him with me," Alex said, his words making my eyes widen in horror.Alex was despicable, and the look in his eyes told me he wasn't just bluffing. I hated this more than anything, feeling trapped and helpless.I bit
The return of the Heiress chapter thirty five
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.
The return of the Heiress Thirty four
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 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
