Chapter 111

Annelise's POV I eventually twisted the car's lock and it gave way for me, I jumped out of the car immediately after that without looking back at him.Rex was standing outside the car, looking around the parking lot as though he was searching for a potential threat.I wanted to ignore him but I just had to give him a piece of my mind. He stood upright when he saw me stop before him.“Don't you ever try what you just did with me again. If your boss wanted to talk to me that much, he's more than capable of approaching me himself.” I told him with gritted teeth.“I'm sorry for dragging you here that way, i just thought that would be the only way you'd come with me.” He apologized.That's really true, I wouldn't have answered him for anything if he had gone through the normal process, but that didn't give him the right to drag me that way."Maybe you should have just left me alone then.” I walked away from him, seething in anger. I walked over to the cab I was going to enter before I wa

Chapter 112

Annelise's POV“You know, you really need to learn to be friendly with someone who wants to help you out." Ken said.Help me out with what? It's not like my father would prefer for someone to talk to him over giving him the money he wants."What do you want, Ken?” I asked, ignoring what he said earlier."Oh, now you want to talk to me?" He chuckled dryly.I looked at him with half annoyance and amusement. Bold of him to think he's that relevant for me to want to talk with him.“Are you going to talk?” He obviously wasn't liking the tone I was using to talk to him and my demeanor but that was none of my business."Yes, if you stop acting that way." He answered.Oh, he doesn't know what's really going on, doesn't he read signs?!I looked at him up and down then turned around to leave him standing there when his next words stopped me."I spoke to your father and he told me where your mother is being treated.”I swiveled around so fast that my eyes were dizzy at first when I faced him.“W

Chapter 113

Annelise's POV My heart practically deflated, my hopes dashed away suddenly. My throat died up instantly as every spittle in my mouth dried up too.“What?" Ken was the one who asked, i couldn't bring myself to say anything.“Yes, she was signed out earlier this morning." She replied to him and looked down at her phone again.My father. I should have known that he wasn't just going to fall for what Ken gave him that way. His request and Ken's obliging was just so fishy.This is going to get more tough now as he'd think we're only playing with him and he'd get only more angry.I was abruptly made to break out of the reverie by someone snapping their hand on something before me.“Can you step aside please, there are other people behind you.” The nurse snapped, gesturing at us to move sideways.“Do not talk to her that way, b*tch!" Ken yelled at her. I was also frozen at the velocity of his voice, even his choice of words.He gently guided me away from the lobby while still glaring at th

Chapter 114

Annelise's POV “Thanks for today and for helping with my father." I said to Ken as he stopped the car outside Esther's apartment.“It's nothing. Are you going to be fine?" He asked me.“Yes, bye." I opened the car and stepped out. “I mean, with your father. I can still help you out with him if you need my help some other time, all you need to do is send me a text message." He said, also coming out of his car. “You've done more than enough already, I'm sure I'll find a way around it.” I gave a fake smile, hoping he'd understand that i don't want to drag him into this anymore."If you insist. I guess I'll see you around later." He waved me off.I waved at him too and dragged my tired body towards Esther's apartment. I didn't hear him drive away till I got into the apartment building fully.I climbed the stairs with a little bit of difficulty then opened the door with the spare key Esther gave me days ago.Esther was sprawled out on the couch before the television that was showing one

Chapter 115

Annelise's POV I haven’t told her about Ken knowing about it yet, how did she know about that?“Ken told me. He bumped into me at work today, said his friend, Thomas works there too.” She explained after seeing the confused look on my face.My mouth formed an 'oh' and realization dawned up on me as that could be when she told him where he could find me."I understand now. But he threatened to tell Ethan that I was sneaking around their company if I didn't tell him what I was looking for there.” I said.Esther sighed, the anger on her face and in her tone almost completely gone.“I think he mentioned that. But did you meet up with him today again?" She asked, diverting to the real topic at hand.“Yes, he kind of found out the hospital my mother was being held at and-" I was interrupted by a yell from her.“Has he taken you there?! Did you see her? Oh my gosh! I'm so happy for you." She was smiling out of excitement and had jumped up on me.I cleared my throat awkwardly after a while o

Chapter 116

Annelise's POV I couldn't just sit there while we waited for the response so I started pacing the room slowly. I was feeling awfully tired and i knew I needed to sleep.But there's just almost no way I could sleep when i know I might be close to getting my mother again. That investigator is really efficient and i just hope this one is yet another of his successful works.“Didn't you say you were told to rest more in the hospital?" Esther asked me, she lifted up her head from the phone for the first time since the last time.“Yes, I'm not doing anything strenuous now.” I continued pacing."Yeah, walking around isn't stressful work." She retorted."What did he say, is there an update again?” I asked her instead."He's still on it. He said the system kept getting flagged down as though there was another one corrupting it." She replied.What does that even mean? It's not possible that my father knows that we were trying to get her location, right? He can't have a private investigator eit

Chapter 117

Ethan's POV “Did she block my number or what?" I growled out angrily.Rex looked up from his phone, we've both been trying to dial Annelise consecutively now and it's all to no avail.It was ringing on Rex's end but wasn't connecting on my own end at all. She wasn't picking Rex's own either.“It seems so.” Rex mumbled, only adding to my anger.I've been calling her since yesterday evening. The text I sent wasn't delivered, yet Rex's own has been viewed.I still don't know the basis of her anger since she left the house weeks ago but it's really getting out of hand now.My grandmother has been on my neck since then, she always wants to talk to her. And for some stupid reason, I have barely slept since she left.“Let’s go to the company. I'm sure she'll return your calls or something, she's probably busy.” I told him.At this point, I might be forced to show up at her friend's house even though that's the last thing I know she'd want from me.But this charade has gone on for long alrea

Chapter 118

Ethan's POV Simon's face went white as soon as he processed what I just said. “I-i can explain. It wasn't to deceive you, I swear." He panted as he walked over to me.I allowed him to stand in front of my table while I sat down comfortably with a relaxed look on my face, though I wanted nothing more than to just go over and smash his face in.“Okay, explain. I'm all ears." I said, watching how he started sweating even though the air conditioner was at its highest.“I- her other name is Anastasia, yes. So it's not entirely a lie.” He fibbed.He must really think I'm a fool to tell such an obvious lie to me. The way he was perspiring and looked like he was going to sh*t his pants added to his suspicious look.I didn't even need that to get that he was lying, Annelise herself confirmed that it was the truth. I was solidly against carrying out any investigation on her when we just got married.“Really? Do you have documents to back up your claim? F*ck documents, you're nothing but a scr

Chapter 119

Ethan's POV “Give it back, Lucas.” I ordered him.He ran with it to the door, only making my jaw tighten more."No, just come have lunch with me. Your head might explode if you keep going this way, look how swollen and dark your eyes are, do you even sleep? I might need to have a conversation with your wife.”"What has my wife got to do with this. And I didn't complain to you that I was tired?” I asked with gritted teeth."Man, you need to really calm down. I didn't even say anything bad, are you sure you're good?” He asked, searching my eyes as if he was searching for something.“Can you leave my office now? And come drop the laptop here.” I told him.He knew this isn't the time to joke with me or anything, he just calmly walked over and dropped the laptop then turned around to leave.“You know what? On second thought, I think I'll come with you." I told him after my stomach growled for the umpteenth time today.I didn't have breakfast this morning, nor have I had lunch. Angela has

Chapter 120

Annelise's POV “Can't you walk faster?" Esther asked me.“You can't tell a pregnant woman to move faster than she already is, this is how fast I can go." I purposely reduced the pace to annoy her even more. We decided to come out to get lunch today, we met up at this restaurant since she was at work and I was in the house painting.I needed to get some orders done before the end of the week when I'll be getting away from this city in general.Esther playfully pushed me out of the restaurant when I reduced the pace. I bumped into a wall, a soft wall of muscles.And this wall smells awfully familiar. I'd have wavered sideways if strong arms didn't steady me that it looked like I was embracing the person.I looked up, still frozen to look into the familiar black pupils stared back into mine, that face that I woke up to see almost everyday for months and those arms that I used to hug to myself and gave me comfort.“Ethan?" I whispered like I didn't believe that he was the one.Something
