Annelise's POVA loud bang abruptly cut off the peaceful state I was in. My eyes opened in fright as I jumped off the unfamiliar bed I was sleeping on.I looked at the door to see, oh well, my husband. He looked nothing like the man I saw first two weeks ago and the one on the wedding day.His appearance was so rough that one would have mistaken him for another person.“Why are you staring at me that way?" He asked, almost growling.I looked away immediately, looking at the ground instead as though they were some interesting piece.I heard a door in the room open and close. I didn't even know what the room looked like since I barely saw the room before I cried myself to sleep last night.The room was really huge; it could pass for two and a half of my former room.The designs were just basic; one would have thought how huge and grand the room looked would mean the designs were beautiful and a lot.I was still admiring the room when the door from before opened again, and Ethan stepped
Annelise's POVMy heart missed a beat as I remembered the last time I saw her, which was practically yesterday but feels like ages.“She's waiting downstairs, what should I tell her?" She said, looking down at the loose gown I had on.“Uh, I'll just freshen up and come downstairs," I said, about to close the door, but Angela used her hand to stop it.“I’ll give you one tip about Amanda. She hates tardiness a lot.” Then she left me alone.What just happened? How is it even possible that it's still morning yet all this is already happening? I groaned out in frustration.I got into the bathroom, making sure I took along the clothes I wanted to wear with me so I wouldn't go outside half-clad in a towel.On taking off all my clothes, I got under the shower immediately without even admiring the bathroom like I would have done on a normal day.When I was done with bathing, I made the mistake of looking into the mirror. I've lost a lot of weight in the space of two weeks already out of unbala
Annelise's POVI watched as Ethan stormed out and banged the door, which made me startled. The glare he had on his face while saying those words to me would definitely be imprinted forever.I'm definitely not telling him about the pregnancy if he's always this way; I need to act fast. It can't get out.A whiff of air escaped my nose and mouth as I inhaled and exhaled loudly. A headache was starting to form already, and it's not even afternoon yet.I walked back to my room, deciding to call Esther. I really need to see or talk to someone who understands me, or I'd go crazy.“Sup b*tch, have you told him?" She asked the moment the call connected.“Yes, kind of. He agreed,” I muttered.She screeched into the phone loudly that I had to take the phone away from my ear.“What exactly did he say? Was he strict or was he sweet? I mean, it's not every day I know someone who gets married to a billionaire,” Esther rambled.‘If only you knew,’ I said to myself.“I'll text you the address now,” I s
Ethan's POV“Speak,” I said into the phone as the call connected. It was the home line, and I knew it could only be Angela. She's the only one who calls on that phone."Sir, your wife just brought in a new face into the house.”I frowned, looking at the screen once more to confirm whether I was really talking to the right person, and I was indeed talking to Angela.“And how's that your problem?" I asked.I heard her gulp on the other end of the call as though she was shocked at that response.“I just thought you would-’’ I interrupted her."Whatever happens with her isn't meant to be your business. Don't call me for something as trivial as this ever again.” Then I hung up.I've never talked to Angela that way before because I see her as a family member; she was practically there all through the time I grew up.I ran my hand through my hair in frustration. A lot of things are going wrong currently, and every time I think I'm this close to the solution, it gets even worse.The door to m
Annelise's POV“Damn! Now this is what we call a mansion! It's so beautiful!” Esther kept gushing over the house the moment we got in.A smile came up on my face. She kept looking around the room, almost forgetting that I was even there with her."Esther," I called her.She didn't even act like she heard me at all; she just kept looking around the room like she was in an art gallery.“Esther!” I yelled her name this time, making her look at me in fright.She walked over to me with her hand crossed over her chest."What is it?” She asked me."Can I have your attention now, dear friend?” I asked, raising up an eyebrow in a questioning stance.“Oh, sure. But I'm going to break your head if you don't allow me to check these out to my satisfaction,” she said, glaring at me in a manner that made her look kind of scary, but that can't work on me now.I just sighed and sat down on the couch as she checked everything to her satisfaction.Angela came in while Esther was still checking out thing
Annelise's POV I was woken up by the sound of a door opening; it was so loud that I jumped up on the really comfortable and soft surface I was sleeping on.“Who's that?" I questioned. I was the only one always sleeping in this room, how come someone just came in without knocking? Could it be my father?At the thought of it being my father, I sat upright on the bed, eager to hear what he has to say. It could be about my mother, who knows?It was when lights flickered on in the room that I remembered my current situation, and my husband was the one standing before me.He only glanced at me once and he entered the closet. He came out with a number of clothes.“Good evening." I greeted before he could leave the room.It's really evening? I looked out the window to see that it was evening and the blinds were still open.He nodded stiffly and left the room. As if on cue, a knock sounded on the door almost immediately after he left the room.I muttered a 'come in' and the door was pushed op
Annelise's POV"It would be our first official outing together."I was gobsmacked at what he said; it sounded so foreign to even hear him say that.The hard look on his face reminded me that he was only doing this for business purposes and nothing more.“Okay, but I don't have any other clothes to wear other than this one,” I said.I still can't find anything wrong with the dress I was wearing.He looked me up and down again with a lazy look on his face. “Just wait here, I should be able to find something," he said with a clenched jaw.I sat down far from where he stood up from, playing with my phone till he came down with something black in his hand.“Here," I heard him say.I collected the piece of clothing from him to see a dress that looked really expensive; it looked like it would be just my size, just a little bit shorter.“How did you have a female cloth-" He cut me off before I could finish the question.“Can you just put on the f*cking clothes without asking me questions?” he
Annelise's POVI took the dress from her with a smirk on my face, a confident one at that. Upon entering the dressing room, I heaved a sigh, calming down my racing heart.If this is how the life of a billionaire's wife would look like, I'm not cut out for this. I can't keep facing things like this and be expected to keep quiet just because, as a billionaire's wife, I can't just reply to people.“I'm doing this for my mother," I reminded myself.I took off the dress I had on and put on this one. It was kind of hard zipping it up, but I managed anyway.I stepped out of the dressing room without looking at myself in the mirror. It's not like I was going to buy it anyways.Before I even closed the door behind me, I wanted to just go back in when I saw Ethan standing directly by the door.“We'll take this, and every other female clothes in here," he ordered the attendant after just sparing me a glance.“Okay, sir,” she grinned and walked away."What are you doing? Every female clothes here
