Chapter 61

Annelise's POVI wasn't sure if he would do what I had just asked, but I heard his breath hitch. I almost palmed my own face, wondering why I had asked that question.All I knew was that I was cold, and I hadn't intended to ask him that; it just came out.He didn't reply with words, but his actions spoke clearly.I felt myself being turned around and then spooned by him. I was shocked at first that he was actually holding me.My head rested directly beneath his chin, and his strong arms wrapped around me, making me feel safe and comfortable.I eventually relaxed in his hold, and my breathing normalized. Ethan and I didn't speak until I drifted off to sleep again.~I woke up feeling something strong holding me down. Having gotten used to sleeping alone, I initially freaked out, but I relaxed again when I caught the familiar scent I was beginning to get used to.His embrace was warm and unchanged from before I fell asleep, as if neither of us had moved during the night.I didn’t turn a

Chapter 62

Ethan's POVI stared at my phone's screen, watching the three dots dance, indicating that she was typing.“It’s really nice, thank you. I didn't know you cook,” she texted back, with an emoji that looked like a smirk accompanying the last line.There was really nothing I had to say after that; I just sent a sticker that looked offended.“You use stickers too?!" she sent back.What did she take me for? An old man who lives under a rock? I mightn't be someone who constantly chats on my phone, but I do know the basics of chatting.“Of course."Just as I sent the last text, Rex informed me that we had arrived at the office. I stepped out of the car with my phone in hand and started walking towards the building.Upon entering my office, I saw Lucas pacing. That's never good news.“Welcome," he said, running towards me. He was about to say something else, but I stopped him.“Allow me to enter the office first, then you can tell me the bad news,” I said, walking past him."How did you even k

Chapter 63

Annelise's POV Ethan has been acting really weird for days now, I barely even see him again. Most times he would have gone to work before I woke up and would come late at night when I'm asleep.Today is Saturday and I could only wish that he isn't planning on going to work, a part of me misses him already.After doing my morning routine, I started going downstairs. My stomach was grumbling in hunger as though I didn't have dinner last night.I don't seem to understand my appetite these days. I wouldn't feel like eating at all on some days and some days I'd feel like eating the whole world.When I got downstairs, I saw Angela in the kitchen making food. She spared me a glance and looked away after mumbling a greeting.I found out that she had the week off from the day Ethan made breakfast for me, she resumed yesterday.“Breakfast would soon be ready, please take your seat at the dining table." She said with all her attention on the omelet she was making. This new version of Angela is

Chapter 64

Ethan's POVShe still kept looking at me like I've suddenly grown two extra heads and had two horns with it.“That didn't justify that, it's not like I'm dying." She said. “It looked like that in case you care to know." I replied with an eyebrow raised.I was about to drive in this huge rain for her and this is what I got in return? "I hope you're good now and you don't need a doctor anymore.” She sighed and walked towards me, "Don't get me wrong, I wasn't saying you shouldn't do all these, just not at the detriment of your own health.”"That's for me to be worried about and not you.” I replied in a clipped tone.“Here we go again." She mumbled under her breath.“I really appreciate you, but who would take care of me when you also get sick or anything happens to you too?” Her big black eyes stared right into mine.I chuckled dryly, "Nothing's going to happen to me." I can't even remember the last time I fell sick, maybe when I was ten? Eleven? “You're so proud." She said, laughing

Chapter 65

Ethan's POVI thought I didn't hear what he just said correctly at first, because those words sounded strange to me.“Could you say that again?" I said to the doctor.The old man smiled, “Oh, I see. You're in shock. I said your wife is pregnant, congratulations." He repeated the words." I think there's a mix up somewhere.” I mumbled." No, we did the test up to ten times and the results all came out positive, here's the test result.”He handed a paper to me, my eyes hurriedly skimmed over it and though I couldn't understand the rest of the thing written there, the last one stared right back at me.Pregnancy: positive.I heard the door open and close again faintly, the doctor just left me alone with Anastasia who had suddenly gone mute.“This isn't true, right? Maybe they mistook your blood and urine for that of a pregnant woman, right?" I asked, staring right at her.She didn't reply, tears just brimmed up in her eyes."Anastasia?” I called, I needed just a word of confirmation from

Chapter 66

Annelise's POV Cold seeped though my clothes and into my body but I didn't even feel it because the kind of cold I felt was very far from the physical one.He abruptly pushed me into the water, my hand met the granite ground for support so I wouldn't fall abruptly but it didn't stop my butts from making contact with the bare ground harshly.I had thought the pregnancy result from the wedding day wasn't real when I got a pregnancy strip from the mall one day and got home to see just one pink line.Besides, I wasn't seeing any other symptom of pregnancy, neither did my stomach protrude or anything, it was even more flat then before.All those made me believe the pregnancy test from the mall more than the one from the hospital.A car honking before me made me look up, tears brimmed up so much in my eyes that I couldn't see anything other than the silhouette of the car and the bright lights.I had stayed in the water and rain for so long that it's now night, it was as though the world ar

Chapter 67

Annelise's POV Angela said that and walked away while I just kept staring at her receding figure, I stood by the door without making the attempt or move to go back inside.Ethan wants to see me? Does he wants me to sign the divorce papers now? So this is the end, this is how it ends.I sighed and closed the door, sliding down against it. It felt like a deep hole was in my chest and it aches so bad, I've never felt this way, this heartbroken.While sleeping on the bed all night, that image of how I met myself on a strange bed one morning came up in my head.To think that I didn't recollect doing anything with Ken either, the only thing I remembered was taking that drink from my father.The drink. The reason for everything happening now, my carelessness took part in this too, I shouldn't have trusted my father in the first place.He's never even offered me a bottle of water, yet he offered me a glass of wine and I took it from him.My hand subconsciously went down to my stomach area, i

Chapter 68

Annelise's POV “Stay there till I open the door for you. And remember, we're pretending to be fine in front of everyone." He opened his own side of the door without waiting for my reply.He opened my side of the door like he said he would, he stretched out his hand towards me with his lips set in a straight line.I place my hand in his then got out of the car with his support. This one is pretty high and i would have found it hard to get out myself, coupled with the fact that I'm putting on high heels.He closed the door himself then threw the keys at Rex who came in another car with Max.We started walking towards the door of the mansion. I didn't even note how big and glamorous the Harrington's mansion is.Apparently, we're meant to be here for a family dinner to celebrate the child who's going to join the family in months time.Imagine the shock on my face when Ethan told me about it this morning, he's never opened up to me about his family before but I know so well that they're n

Chapter 69

Ethan's POV I scoffed, taking my hand off the wall behind her and stepped back a little bit.“Oh, I see. You can now talk, I thought you've gone mute the past couple of days, turns out I was wrong about you, once again.”She swallowed thickly, then looked into my eyes once more.“Are we at least staying for the dinner?" She asked.“You've decided that yourself, why are you asking me again." I fired back.It's so hard trying to not just get so mad at her to the extent of wishing I never met her or that we crossed paths in the first place.But looking into those big, brown eyes, I somehow found myself finding it hard to believe that she cheated on me.I really want to believe that she got pregnant before we got married, but the time frame doesn't correlate, she definitely got pregnant days before the wedding, and she was aware of the marriage before then.“Get out." I said through gritted teeth.Anastatia looked at me in question and I reported those two words again. She ran out of the

Chapter 70

Annelise's POV “Get out." Ethan repeated.How cold his eyes suddenly grew controlled my legs against my wish. It's as though he's constantly having a battle with himself on what he wants to do.One minute he's talking to me, though his face and voice always so cold, the next he wants me out of his sight and his life.I really want to apologize to him, tell him that I didn't cheat on him and neither do I have a secret boyfriend somewhere but I'd find myself retreat.He doesn't look like he even wants to know I exist anymore, let alone wanting to hold a conversation like that with me.I ran out of the room and went through the same hallway we came through, but somehow I got lost. I found myself at a door that has ‘emergency exit’ written on it.I pushed it to find it open. The view behind the door made me step out fully, it's a garden.The calming breeze and scent from the flowers made my worries and fears fly away instantly. I closed the heavy doors behind me and entered the den of f
