Chapter 131

Ethan's POV Immediately I saw the news, the first name that came to my mind was Simon. He's the only one I'm currently at loggerheads with, I just knew he was the one.Lucas had bombarded my phone with calls and is currently calling me that it's starting to get annoying. The clip was obviously edited and it's so obvious but no one would believe that, it looks and sounds real.Whoever edited it must be really good at it, it looked so real that I wanted to believe that it was real. The fact that even when the background was dark, the silhouette still looked like me.If not because I wasn't the one they were trying to impersonate and I knew deep down that it wasn't me, I'd have believed it normally.“F*ck! I need to talk to someone!” I yelled as I ran out of my room. It's still really early and I've been so distraught since last night, even before the news was published this morning.I rushed downstairs, running like my life depended on it. When I got to the living room, Angela blocked

Chapter 132

Ethan's POV A huge sigh of relief escaped me at her response, my heart that was beating erratically in my chest calmed down instantly.Knowing that she didn't believe it did nothing but made me relieved.“Thank you, Annelise. You have no idea what that means to me.” I muttered, my emotions were bare in my voice. Her face was blank, she's trying so hard to hide her facial expression and she's getting good at it. "It's nothing. Would that be all? I'd like to go back inside now, I need to sleep.” Annelise said.Her hand went down to her stomach, my eyes followed the movement too. Her stomach was now bigger than the last time I saw and now round.“Uh, yes." I mumbled, trying so hard to act normal.“Well then, bye." She made a move to go into the apartment back, almost at the door when I stopped her.“Annelise." I called out the name really fast that it was as though I was scared she was going in and I'd never see her again.She turned around with her hand still on her stomach, one of he

Chapter 133

Ethan's POV It's really late at night but I tried to dial Ken's number. Lucas and I just got to my house after a complete drive in silence.I've not turned on my phone since afternoon, the internet is getting crazy at the moment, and I sure didn't want to see the kind of messages I'd receive in my personal email at that point.I caught a glimpse from when Lucas came online on his own phone even though he tried to hide it from me and it was hard.Ken picked the call on the second ring, just when I drove into my house.“Is this really Ethan calling me?" He asked the moment he picked up."It's me, Ken. Do you have a moment?”I stopped the engine, getting out of the car along with Lucas who was staring intently at the phone as though he wanted to hear everything.“Yes. You calling me on its own is something, so I know it's really important.” He said.“I need your help." Those four words felt weird on my lips, when was the last time I said that? Years ago? Never?“I'm all ears." He replie

Chapter 134

Annelise's POV “Your husband is here for you." My eyes opened immediately at her words. I was finding it hard to wake up before, now I just had to. My eyes were forced open and I sat up on tbe bed, coming to face Esther who just barged into the room.“Ethan?" I asked with my eyes wide open."Who else? He has been standing outside since the past five minutes.” She replied, crossing her hand over her waist.What's he doing here? I stood up from the bed, swinging my legs over the bed, I got off the bed and slipped my legs into my flipflops."I'll just go out to see him.” I said as I walked past her."You should.” Esther mumbled behind me, also getting out of the room.What Esther didn't say was that she already let him in and he's right in the living room. He was staring at me directly already before I even got to him.I heard Esther's room door open and close, she just went into her room, leaving me alone with Ethan.My steps faltered a bit on seeing him but I just had to compose myse

Chapter 135

Ethan's POV I heaved a huge sigh of relief. Annelise let her facial expression show just for a few seconds, and i saw the woman that has been trying so hard to be strong for months.Her resolve was let down and I felt the urge to make everything right and get stronger.“Thank you.” I mumbled.Annelise broke the staring contest going on between us, she sighed too, trying to put up a brave front."What next? Do I need to sign any papers or we just act like enemies?” She asked."We need to make it look real as possible, I'll get my lawyer to prepare a fake divorce paper, we'll both sign it, it's only for Ken to see.” I replied. "For how long would this go on for?”"For as long as he helps out with the news, it could be days. But it can't exceed a week.”"Fine then, I guess that just means you can't come here again till he's done with what he needs to do.” She sighed, running her hands through her hair. Right, that means I won't see her for days? It feels like an eternity already.“Can

Chapter 136

Ethan's POV “Yes, just get it done anyhow, make sure it looks real, I need it as soon as possible."“Okay sir." I hung up on him, putting down the phone immediately.It's almost afternoon and the fake divorce papers aren't even ready yet. The only reason I'm somewhat calm is because Ken is currently working since I've assured him that he'd get the papers soon.I did more paperwork but soon started growing restless, I couldn't do any work, every letter and word on the paper before me was getting blurry.I picked up my phone, went to the call history and scrolled down. My hand rested on that particular contact, all i needed to do was to click on it.I hadn't even confirmed that she had unblocked me, but all the messages I sent were now delivered, she didn't reply any.I sighed and put away the phone, what was I going to say? ‘Hey, I decided to check up on you because I wasn't concentrating at work?’I drummed my left hand on the table mindlessly while I tried to focus on what I was doi

Chapter 137

Annelise's POV The words tasted sour in my own mouth, I watched as a grim expression came up on his own face, the little smile on his face vanished completely. “It's not fake Annelise." He said. The paper looked so real and convincing that one would take it for an original, it's not like I know what an original divorce paper looks like. "Do you have a pen with you? I don't have one currently." I asked him. I took off the glove on my right hand so I could sign without the paint smearing on them. He dipped his hand in his pocket then handed over a pen to me, his hand brushed mine slightly, I found myself holding on to the pen longer than I should. His warm and firm hand on mine made me feel warm all over, my eyes met his too and an electrifying feeling coursed through me. I came back to my senses first as I realized that I was actually touching HIM and that the staring contest between us was getting really weird. I cleared my throat and stepped back, taking the pen fr

Chapter 138

Ethan's POV The pictures started connecting in my head. The same person I've been dreaming about, who has been invading my dreams, is none other than my wife.That tattoo—it's the same one on her lap. She was there at the party and is the same person I had sex with."Ethan?!" Annelise's voice dragged me back to reality. She had tapped me and was looking at me with that weird expression still on her face."Yeah? Sorry, did you say something? I kind of zoned out," I said."I was asking why you wanted to know if I attended the party. You sounded urgent,” she said."Didn't you just say you attended?” I frowned. She sounded like she hadn't answered the question at all."I didn't." I was confused as to which question she had just provided an answer to."You did not answer me, or you did not attend the party?” I asked again."Both. I didn't answer you, and I didn't attend the party.” I could have sworn I heard her clearly, that she said she did attend the party.I hadn't had any drink since

Chapter 139

Annelise's POV “Why did I lie? I should have just told the truth," I said to myself as he left the apartment.He only asked if I came to the party, right? It's not meant to be that hard. All I could have done was nod or say ‘yes.'Though I didn't really say I did, he must have been hallucinating beforehand. I only lied about not coming.I slumped down on the chair and ran my hands through my thick hair. I really need to trim it; it's getting much longer than it should be.Signing those divorce papers felt like I was really divorced from him. It felt like the marriage was over because of how real the paper looked.His words of reassurance calmed me down a bit, though. He sounded honest; it's not like he has ever lied to me anyway.Why was I even scared that he really wanted to divorce me? Shouldn't that be the next line of action with the situation of things now?I felt a headache coming on, so I just discarded the thoughts and went into the kitchen to get some water. When I was almos

Chapter 140

Annelise's POVHe was looking straight into my eyes and was sweating so hard that it looked like he was going to pass out.“Annelise," he called my name again.“What. Do. You. Want." I said word after word, I could barely restrain myself anymore. It looked like I was going to burst at any moment."I wanted to see you," he replied after looking at me with that weird expression on his face."Is there anything you want to say to me? And dear Lord, it better be worth my time," I gritted.He swallowed thickly after hearing the threat behind my voice and seeing how much I was glaring at him.“I- I wanted to see you," he repeated that same line, further irking me.“You have ten seconds to say what you came here for or I'm going to kick your goddamn ass."“Nine," I started counting down for him when he still didn't say anything. His eyes widened in shock.“Eight."“I just wanted to check up on you. And to ask if you still want to go on that date with me," he rushed out.The f*ck?! I've seen d
