Chapter 161

Annelise's POV We moved into the house yesterday, two days after we both went to check it out. Life has been pretty normal since then; it's almost like the whole world doesn't matter when we're in the house.I chose a simple but beautiful house, nothing like the grandness of the other house. It's the kind of house that just looks like one normal couples would stay in.It's just that it was still in an estate, built for rich people. Ethan said we can't go lower than that because of his status, and this one just happens to be the simplest of the houses.We're currently in the kitchen, arguing about who cooks dinner tonight.“No, Ethan. I'm pregnant and not docile. I can work, and I'm making dinner tonight," I said in a strict voice.“What if you hurt yourself or something else happens? I won't be able to forgive myself. All I ask is that you relax.”I gritted out, "I'm not a baby, Ethan. And unless you want to see the wrath of a pregnant woman, you'll allow me to cook tonight.”The gla

Chapter 162

Ethan's POV I saw Annelise's text that said she was going to the former house for something while I was in the meeting. I couldn't reply or call her right then as they were very important clients.But I knew that for her to have gone back to the house, it must be for something important. When I was done with the meeting, I dialed her number, but she wasn't picking up.The meeting lasted for up to four hours, so it's evening now. She should be back from the house already. On my way home, I dialed her number again, and she picked up this time.“Hey, I've been trying to reach you. Is everything okay?" I asked immediately she answered the call."Yes, I was sleeping, and I didn't hear it ring,” she replied.“Oh, I'm sorry for waking you up. I wanted to know if you're back from the house. I received your text," I said to her."I woke up before you called now, and I came back from the house this afternoon. There's something you need to know, though,” she said.“What's that?" I connected the

Chapter 163

Ethan's POV I begged for Annelise's forgiveness all through the night, up until this morning before we both had to go to different places. I dropped her off at a place before I went my way this morning.She needed to drop off a painting somewhere. She assured me that she would take a cab home as it was going to take a long time before she would start heading back.We weren't back to normal again, but it’s better than last night. I f*cked up so much last night by letting my emotions get the better of me and by saying to her face that she said what she did because she was mad at me. I knew I had hurt her deeply, and the guilt gnawed at me relentlessly. Every time I thought about it, a wave of regret washed over me. I couldn’t believe I had been so insensitive, especially when she was only trying to protect me.I was almost at the office when I realized that I needed to pick up a file at the former house. I needed it this same morning, so I turned around and drove towards the house.Whe

Chapter 164

Annelise's POV I had just delivered the painting from the anonymous person that sent me a lot of money. I was given an address, which I gave to my dispatch rider.He only just called me to say that he had delivered it already; even he was given a large tip. All I'm just waiting for at the moment is a reply from the person; I need a review of the work I did already.I was scrolling through Instagram already in the house. I kept glancing at the message icon to see if there's one added message that my mind wasn't in the videos I was watching.The moment one message was added to the icon, I clicked on that place immediately. I checked the new message, which was from that person, exactly with a bated breath.‘Thanks, I just received the paintings and I must say, your pieces are even more beautiful in real life, I'm wowed,’ the message read.I squealed out in excitement and would have jumped up if it wasn't for my swollen stomach. These kinds of reviews make me so happy. Orders that are co

Chapter 165

Annelise's POV His eyes were hooded as he stared directly into mine, the darkness in those eyes was one that made me feel butterflies appear in my stomach.“Thank you." I whispered with my face heating up.“And this even makes you look more beautiful." He said as his hand gently came on my stomach, his touch warm and reassuring.“And do you know what I love most about you?" He asked, and I shook my head."Your cheeks when you blush.” Now I know that he's just teasing me. My face was all colored from blushing so hard. My cheeks were now practically on fire; it was really hot. I tried to hide my face with my hair, but he seemed to know what I was about to do as he lifted up my head with his thumb.“Stop teasing me." I said, trying to sound bold, but the words just came out like what would be from a mouse."Who? Me? I wasn't teasing you.” He kept a straight face as though he wasn't doing what he was currently doing.“Let's start what we came here for then." I mumbled, and he lifted up

Chapter 166

Ethan's POV It's a text from my investigator, one that made me freeze up immediately when he sent it. I haven't even clicked on the file he attached to the message.“What’s wrong?” Annelise's voice brought me back to reality. The phone in my hand was about to fall, but I held it tightly again before it could.“It's a text from the investigator. We finally have something against Ken with this,” I said and handed the phone to her. She took it from me immediately and read the message.The shock on my own face from before came up on her own too. “Wow, this is so good," she commented, a big smile replacing the shocked expression on her face before."Right, let's load the file so we see the hardcopy of the text,” I said to her, and she nodded. I downloaded the file and soon viewed it.This is just the perfect proof to put Ken behind bars, and we'd utilize that soon. The file just showed that I wasn't the one who drove the car that night; Ken did.Somehow, he was able to get into the car wh

Chapter 167

Annelise's POV I was able to get to the hospital in no time, signed the final documents for the transfer, and it was all processed quickly.It wasn't that stressful because my father had already signed me on as one of her guardians, so it wasn't hard for me to arrange her move to another facility.All that's left is the actual moving, which is scheduled for tomorrow. I was told it couldn't be done today as all the paperwork needs to go through the final stages to reach the desired hospital.When I was done at the hospital and had spent some time with my mother, I went to the car dealership as I had told Ethan. I've been keeping him updated on everything that's been happening.He was replying to the messages up until the last one I sent, which I took as him ignoring it because of the argument we had about it last night.I went there and made inquiries on some of the budget-friendly cars they had. I ended up with a nice car that had some great features and was within my price range.Th

Chapter 168

Ken's POV I've been reeling with joy since I was announced as the new highest shareholder of the company, automatically making me the owner of some sort.I honestly expected more from Ethan in terms of competition for the contract and all, but he seemed to be focused on another thing other than anything concerning the company these days, and that worked in my mercy.It could be because he's now separated from his wife, but I didn't care. All that matters now is that I'm way higher than him in rank, and he's below me.I've been trying all my life to achieve that, but he always manages to be one step ahead of me each time I try to surpass him.He was married to someone I like, and he's known by more businessmen and people as the one with the brains for business, while I'm the trophy grandson.I wonder how he feels right now with his most prized possession not with him anymore; he's probably about to commit suicide.A cruel smile came up on my face at the last thing I thought; dying is

Chapter 169

Ethan's POV Annelise and I woke up to news about me flying around. It's the same thing that Ken has been using to threaten me before. It was the cuss word from my mouth that woke up Annelise.Though it's still afternoon, we both slept off hours after coming back from the hospital as we didn't sleep overnight normally.She sat up on the bed almost immediately after I cussed out loud, with her eyes still partly closed. She used her hand to wipe her eyes as though she was trying to wipe the sleep away.“What happened?" she asked as her eyes came clear.“Uh, it's… nothing. You can go back to sleep. I'm going to take care of it now.” I rushed out of bed, and she rushed behind me too.“Ethan, did anything happen with anyone? That didn't look like nothing back there at all,” she said behind me, successfully following me into the bathroom.I sighed out loud. "It's Ken. He released the news about me hitting someone, and it's everywhere on the internet now," I rushed out the words to her.“He

Chapter 170

Annelise's POV It's Monday now, and I have everything I need for revealing the truth ready. I was assisted by both Lucas and Esther, and I just want the DMZ meeting to be over so I'll have Ethan back.It's time for the event to start, and I didn't bother to disguise to enter the building even though paparazzi were outside in abundance.It's just a plus that I decided to come with both Max and Lucas, and since they're both registered in the company, they were allowed to go through the backdoor.It's afternoon at the moment, and I have anxiety churning in my stomach. I kept reminding myself that I was doing this for Ethan, and I didn't need to think about the crowd that I'd face.“I'll be there with you in that conference room so you'll have a familiar face with you. You don't need to be scared of anyone; just do your thing and let the media do the rest,” Lucas said before we got out of the car.“Thank you so much for everything you've done, Lucas. I really appreciate you, and I'm sure
