The return of the Heiress Thirty seven
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

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 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 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 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

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 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.

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
