Chapter 141

Ethan's POV“Someone is here to see you,” Lucas said into the phone as I picked up his call. It's still so early for anyone to visit, and I don't have any visitors.“What's the name?” I asked.“Uh, she said her name is Grace, but I could have sworn that's not it. I've seen her before; I just don't know where,” he replied.Lucas is intelligent in all aspects of life—academically, financially, even intellectually—but not really, as he's so dumb when it comes to remembering faces.“Let her in,” I ordered, then hung up. It has to be something important for her to have passed the reception.I went back to what I was checking on my phone. Annelise just uploaded some of her new collections, and it's safe to say that I'm now a stalker. I've been stalking the page for days now.A knock came on my door, and I ordered whoever it was to come in. Someone with a disguising hat entered and walked slowly towards me.I could deduce that it was a female from the clothes and hair. The hat covered almost

Chapter 142

Ethan's POV Ken went to her house? What was he even looking for? I got over the shock soon enough, or I just had to—there are other things to worry about at the moment. “Has the doctor said anything yet?” I asked. “Not yet. I’ve just been here, waiting for anyone to come out to say something, but none yet,” she replied. I started pacing with her too, trying so hard not to break into that room where she was being treated. It felt like hours already, even though I only just got here minutes ago. Could she have eaten something that didn’t go in sync with her body system? I racked my head for any possible reason she could be in there. Or it could just be stress. I was really worried, about to enter the room, when the door swung open and a doctor came out. Both I and Annelise’s friend ran to meet him immediately. “How is she now? Is she okay?” “Can we see her now?” we asked simultaneously. The man looked at both of us before his eyes settled on me. “You’re her husband,” h

Chapter 143

Annelise's POV I woke up late in the evening when it was all dark outside, and I couldn't see anything in the room. I had to act cool and collected until I was able to trace my phone, which I used to turn on the lights.After doing that, I walked outside the room. The figure that was curled up on the couch made me wait at the entrance of the living room at first.It was Ethan. He has been here since the afternoon? Didn't I tell him to leave and that I was fine?He did say he was going to wait till I woke up before he left, and he did just that. The action warmed my heart a lot; I was really touched by the fact that he did stay.Where's Esther, by the way? She should be back already. I moved closer to Ethan to see that he was in a very uncomfortable position. His neck was hanging off the couch, and his legs were curved in a way that looked really uncomfortable.What do I do? Wake him up or just leave him alone since I can't make him sleep normally myself? But I also didn't want to lea

Chapter 144

Ethan's POV I tried to smooth my hair while running out of the apartment, my hair all rough and scattered from how I placed my head on that couch.I didn't know if it was because my mind was at rest or because I really needed that sleep that I slept off, all I knew was that I didn't even know when I did.It was really dark outside; the street lights and few people were the only things I could see. I walked towards where I parked my car, it was parked differently from the other ones.I got into it and drove off without knowing where I was going or any particular destination in mind. All I knew was that I had to find a way to get the rescheduling done.They're foreign investors, and they might even be out of the country already as we speak. Lucas had called me countless times already, but I didn't hear the phone ringing because it was on silent.I dialed his number upon thinking about him, putting it on speaker so I could concentrate on driving too. He picked up on the second ring, his

Chapter 145

Annelise's POV I slept off on the phone with Ethan earlier. I knew it was still too early to fall asleep that way, but I just couldn't control it. I woke up with my phone on my chest and my painting materials around me.“Just great,” I mumbled as I stood up from the couch I slept on. How I even managed to fall asleep while being in such an uncomfortable position amuses me.Ethan's cologne is still very much on this couch, and it's so strong. I found myself inhaling it deeply before I slept off, but now all I could get was my own cologne.I went back to the painting I was working on. I had orders that I hadn't even started yet. The one I'm currently working on is almost finished, so I added a few finishing touches before moving on to the next one.I had already started it when my phone pinged, making me take my eyes away from the drawing board for a few seconds. It was a message from Instagram.Since it's my business page, I decided to check what it was. I took off the gloves I had pu

Chapter 146

Ethan's POV I dropped my phone after sending the last text. She finally replied to the order I sent from my fake account days ago. I almost forgot I even dropped a message. I had my secretary send the money from her personal account because I didn’t want my name to appear on the transaction.It’s evening already, and I should be on my way home, but I just wish the day didn’t end. I badly don’t want to go back to that lonely house. Getting to sleep was a hard thing last night. I ended up doing half of today’s work in the middle of the night, and I still didn’t sleep until morning. It feels like a hassle even going home when I can just stay here overnight. I had to drag myself up and walk over to the door.I met Lucas on my way to the elevator. He had just stood up from his seat.“What are you still doing at work?” I asked, raising one of my eyebrows. We both got into the elevator, and he pressed the button for the ground floor.“I was rounding up some things. To think that I was on m

Chapter 147

Annelise's POV I woke up with one intention on my mind, I needed to see my father concerning my mother. I've thought about it all night and I came to the conclusion of talking something out with him.I did my morning routine quickly and decided to make breakfast today since Esther was still sleeping, so I settled on making waffles. I mixed the ingredients and soon put everything in the waffle maker. I sipped on my tea as I waited for it to be done with my back resting on the kitchen's cabinet.I had thought about it all night and have decided to carry out an investigation myself on the person that hit my mother and the events that really unfolded.This is because the more I think about it, the more I get convinced that it wasn't just an ordinary hit, it all looks planned.The waffle was soon done and I brought them out, putting Esther's on a plate too because I know she's going to come out of her room anytime soon, I've heard sounds coming from her room already.I sat down to eat my

Chapter 148

Annelise's POV The door was pushed open from inside, and I tried my best to appear normal. I wasn't going to act like I was nervous so as not to look weak.It happened to be Anastasia who answered the door, her eyes going straight to my protruding stomach. It was almost as if she didn't know that I was pregnant.“This is the reason I've not been seeing you everywhere with him again! And I thought you guys divorced or something." She used her hand to cover her mouth as if to suppress a gasp and shock.“Can I come in?" I asked instead, getting annoyed by her fake shock already. There’s no way she doesn’t know about it.“Of course, I can't keep the carrier of a Harrington standing." She stepped aside for me to come in.I walked into the house eventually, my father sitting on the big couch, sipping coffee and scrolling through his phone. I guess I did successfully wake him up."Good morning, Father,” I said as I walked further into the house."Annelise," he said curtly as he took his eye

Chapter 149

Mr Simon“No."Her face contorted in a frown with how sharp my response was but I cared less. That's the only leverage I have over her at the moment and I'm not going to let it go just like that.“Why are you even doing this? I'm paying the bills now just like you wanted, but you still won't tell me where my mother is being held, it's just not fair." That did nothing to crack me, it just can't. I still have one last step before I drop her case, but right now, I can't tell her where her mother is so she won't act as the obstruction to the plans I've been on for more than a decade. "I'll tell you on my own accord, what you should be doing now is sending the hospital bill and nothing more. Your mother is responding to treatment and fine." I said.She stood up with anger evident on her face, she looked so furious right now but I kept a straight face, not moved by her facial expression at all.“I wish my mother never met you so I wouldn't have to be your daughter in the first place, it's

Chapter 150

Annelise's POV I ran out of the house with a racing heart, I had no idea that this morning would be a disastrous one. I had only gone back to get my phone because I found out that I had forgotten it.Hearing him say he wanted to transfer the company's real ownership made she stop myself from opening the door because I wanted to hear everything.But what I heard next was even worse, the person I grew up to know as my father isn't even my real father.I didn't know if I should be happy about that piece of information, or I should just be heartbroken. I feel so indifferent right now, I got into the cab I hailed before.“Sorry for keeping you waiting." I said to the driver as I got in. We were at the end of the street when I realized that I didn't take my phone.I was lucky to have seen the cab when it was dropping off someone before I waved it down, that's the main reason I didn't notice my phone wasn't with me earlier.It was when I wanted to bring out the phone to make a call that I r
