Chapter 151

Annelise's POV I couldn't hold back the tears, I didn't even try to rein them in, I just let them flow freely from my eyes.The last day I saw her was at that party we both went with my fa- Simon, that was also the last time I felt the feeling of being in a family, it has been a lonely life since then.I walked over to her side and sat down on the chair, I held her hand in mine and it just felt all right again. Her hands that used to caress my face and wipe away my tears since I was a kid.It felt like I was holding onto a really valuable substance, which it was. The oxygen mask on her nose and the monitors with other engines around her were the only things supporting her right now.Then I knew how dangerous it was when she was here with only Simon knowing where she was. He could come in here and disconnect the machines. Someone who's capable of pretending to be my father is as crazy as that.“Mom." The word came out of my mouth like a whisper. It's been long since I said that one w

Chapter 152

Ethan's POV I was busy with work when a call from an unknown number came through. I ignored it at first, but the caller was persistent, so I picked it up out of frustration.“Hey Ethan,” said a familiar voice.“Who is this?”“This is Esther, Annelise's friend.”“Oh, hi Esther. I hope there's no problem. You've been really persistent with the calls,” I said.“It's Annelise.” I stood up immediately, alarmed by her tone."What's wrong with her? Is something the matter?" I bombarded her with questions.“I don't know if she's okay,” she replied.“What do you mean by you don't know?” I asked, my face etched with worry.“I've been trying to reach her, but her line isn't reachable. I dropped her off at her father's this morning. I just called him, and he said she left hours ago.""Did she tell you she was going anywhere else?” I asked, running my hand through my hair."If she did, I'd be at that place right now."True, but I couldn't think of anything at the moment. Annelise isn't the type t

Chapter 153

Annelise's POVI was on the phone with Esther when I saw Ethan walk in. A smile adorned my face the moment I saw him. I almost didn't believe him when he said he was nearly at the hospital.“Can we talk later? He's here," I said to Esther, who agreed to call me back.“Hey, you're here already," I said as I dropped my phone. Ethan looked like he wanted to hug me but kept his arms to himself. I could tell from the way his hand twitched.“Yeah, I did tell you I was around the corner, right?" If it wasn't that he rarely smiles, I'd have called the expression on his face a little smile, but knowing Ethan, this is the most he could manage.“You did…” I trailed off.“What are you doing here, by the way? This is a specialist hospital," he asked, looking around.“I came to see my mother. My father eventually told me where she’s being treated, and that happens to be this hospital,” I said.The little smile on his face disappeared almost immediately, and he looked suddenly serious.“Have you see

Chapter 154

Annelise's POV We talked about random things on the drive to the place Ethan wanted to show me. I was surprised when the name of a popular cemetery came into view.Ethan parked the car and almost ran around to open the door for me. I got out, looking around with an analyzing expression.The cemetery was quiet, almost eerily so. If it wasn’t for the sound of our footsteps and our breathing, there wouldn’t be any noise at all.“Why are we here?” I asked.“This used to be the place I came to whenever I needed to be alone," Ethan started, looking into the distance as we walked. We were heading to a spot I didn’t recognize.Did he have a close relative buried here? He stopped suddenly at one of the cremated stones. I hadn’t noticed the name until he told me to look.Marie Simon. That’s my mother’s name. This was the tombstone that made Ethan believe she was dead. Everything inscribed on it was so accurate that I wondered what lengths Ken had gone to.“I thought my life was over when Ken

Chapter 155

Ethan's POV I dropped Annelise at her friend's apartment after promising to return in the evening so we could visit her mother at the hospital once more. Then I drove back to the office, where Lucas had called to inform me that my private investigator was there to see me. The man looked like he had something very important to tell me.I arrived at the office in no time and asked the investigator to come in with me.“What did you have to tell me?" I asked him straight away.“It's about your wife. I found out that she was at the event that night. She came in around eight pm with her father. She left in the morning, but she had some kind of disagreement with Amanda before leaving.”A disagreement with Amanda? That was surprising. It meant Annelise had met Amanda even before the wedding. What was even more surprising was that Annelise had actually attended the event. Why had she lied to me about it?“What else did you find out?" I asked him.“You both were together that night."A frown

Chapter 156

Annelise's POV Esther entered Ethan's car too so she wouldn't waste her car's gas because we were all going to the same place.Ethan entered the car first while Esther and I followed suit. I don't know if I'm just being paranoid, but Ethan looked angry; the way his hand was on the steering wheel confirmed that, and I frowned. Was it a problem at work? He didn't say a word till we got to the hospital. The look on his face wasn't a friendly one at all. He got out of the car first, then came to open my door with that sullen look on his face. I wasn't the only one who noticed; Esther did too.“What's wrong with him? He's acting really weird,” she asked after Ethan had gone ahead, walking really fast."I don't know either. He hasn't said a word to me,” I whispered as we both walked directly behind him.We all got into the hospital and put down our names with the lady at the desk.I led us to the room my mother was being held in, with nervousness and anxiety building up inside me again.

Chapter 157

Ethan's POV “Bring him in!" I ordered my men over the phone. I sat on my office chair with a stony expression on my face. It was the morning after I went to the hospital with Annelise.I had instructed my men to go after Simon and ensure he was brought to me. I didn't care how they did it; all I knew was that they were currently at the parking lot with him.I waited almost impatiently for him to be brought in. Minutes later, they came in, dragging him by the collar. His hands were bound, and a cloth was placed over his mouth.“Thank you. You can all wait outside while I deal with him," I told my men, and they left me alone with Simon.I stood up from my chair almost immediately after they were gone. I was furious, and all I wanted was to bash his face in, but I needed to ask him certain questions first. Then I could decide what to do with him if he didn't comply.I removed the cloth from his mouth, and he yelled immediately. I laughed at how stupid he was.“Are you this dumb, or can

Chapter 158

Annelise's POV I looked at him with my heart pounding in my chest. I should have known he was going to find out regardless of how much I lied that day.“I attended that event that night." I voiced out.A stone expression was on his face, “Why did you lie?” He asked."I'm sorry.” I mumbled with an apologetic look on my face."Are you? You had all the time since that day for you to tell me the truth, but you didn't. You made me feel like i was crazy because I was so sure that you were there?” He walked around the room with his hand going wild in his hair.“You know what's even more iconic? It's the fact that you looked so convincing that you didn't come. Why did you even lie? Did you connive with your father that night?" He asked.I knew no amount of apologies could make up for the number of times I'd lied to him since we knew each other. I now understood why Simon called me a coward. Instead of facing my issues head-on, I lied my way out of them.“I didn't connive with my father on an

Chapter 159

Annelise's POV Right, I was telling him about how this pregnancy came about before we were interrupted yesterday, and now that there's no longer an interruption, it's just us now."Right, where was I?" I guess it's just time for us to talk about that night."You were talking about—" once again, we got interrupted by his phone. Even I internally cussed. It's now starting to look like the whole universe was against us at this point.“I’m turning this sh*t off now.” He cussed out angrily then long-pressed the power button. He threw the phone on the table; I'm sure that's going to leave a crack on the screen.I opened my mouth to talk again but was interrupted by my own phone. We both looked at one another then I looked at my own phone.“It’s a strange number," I mumbled as I picked up the phone."Can I see it? It might be the same person trying to reach me; I can recognize the number.” He said, and I raised up the phone to his eyes."It's the same one. Do you know it?" He asked, and I

Chapter 160

Ethan's POVOne of my men was standing before me, looking really uncomfortable."You still haven't said anything. Do you mind leaving now?" I asked him after he just stood there.He sighed loudly. “There's an update concerning the accident from that night,” he said.I lifted up my head from the work I was doing. “What's the update?" I asked him, trying not to look like I was anxious and really wanted to know what he wanted to say.“We found out that Ken was at the scene of the accident, and I also got an eyewitness who was there. He said he only knows that the victim of the accident was in a coma.”"The eyewitness knows that?” I asked."Yes, he said the accident was pretty severe. He heard from a few people later that she's in a coma,” he replied.This just keeps getting even more serious. I can't remember driving that night, much less hitting someone. Besides, I didn't know that I was in the car with Ken normally.All I know is that for him to have lied that she was dead, he has been
