The return of the Heiress

Chapter two.Evelyn’s POV.The doctor's piercing gaze locked onto mine, his eyes assessing me intensely. “This is unusual,” he said, scanning the clipboard, his tone confident. "You did hit your head, but the tests don't show any memory loss. Cases like this are extremely rare, almost unheard of.”I remained silent, gripping the blanket that draped over me. My heart pounds in my chest as he studies me further, hoping he wouldn't expose my secret. His gaze flickered toward my husband. No, Ethan, who stands by the doors. His posture stiff, his expression unreadable, the sight of him sends a cold shiver down my spine. “If you don't mind,” the doctor says.“ I would like to speak to my patient alone for a moment.” Ethan didn’t move at first, his fingers twitch, his jaw clenches, but after a brief hesitation, he nods. His eyes lingered on me for a second, too long before he turned and stepped out of the room, shutting the door behind him. The moment he's gone, I release the breath I

Chapter 4.Evelyn’s POV.“My wife.”My mouth opened wide, what the heck was going on? Bang!I whipped my head around, my eyes locking onto the source of the noise. Ethan's face was a deep, fiery red, a vein bulging at his temple like a warning sign. His expression was a mix of shock and anger. “You liar!” Ethan roared, his hand twisting into a fist. “She’s my wife.”The man beside me remained calm and composed, utterly unfazed by Ethan's anger. He tilted his head slightly, an amused smirk dancing on his lips, his eyes glinting with a hint of mockery. “I'm lying?” he asked. “That's rich coming from a man who's trying to claim something that was never his to begin with.”Ethan lunged forward, his fists clenched, but before he could reach him, two guards in black suits seized Ethan and Olivia, pinning them in place with an unyielding grip.“Let go of me.” Ethan yelled, struggling against the guard. “You have no right to do this.”Olivia shrieked, trying to claw at the guard's hand,

Chapter six.Evelyn's POV.I stood at the front door, about to knock, when it suddenly swung open. Ethan wrapped me in a tight hug."Where did you go?" he asked, lifting my chin. "I was worried sick about you."Before, I would have thought Ethan couldn't live without me for a second. That's why he's acting like this. But now, knowing the truth, I felt numb. I forced a smile."I went for a walk," I said. "I was bored, and you two were still asleep."Ethan nodded. "Next time, don't leave without me, okay?"I nodded, and he stepped aside to let me in. My eyes scanned the room and landed on the wall where our wedding pictures used to hang. They were gone. I couldn't help but chuckle.Despite losing my memories he couldn't pretend to leave it there. Was I that bad? Olivia rushed over and hugged me tightly. "Oh my, I was so worried!"I smiled again, noticing a glance exchanged between Olivia and Ethan.We sat down at the table, and breakfast was served. But I was hesitant to take a bite. W

Chapter Eight.Evelyn's POV."Oh my, what happened to your hair?" Olivia gasped as I entered the sitting room. Ethan's eyes darted to me, and I flashed a bright smile."You like my new look?" I asked, trying to sound casual. "This is how I want to look now."Ethan's face darkened, and he grabbed me roughly. "How could you cut your hair without my permission?" he barked.Olivia intervened, her voice firm. "Ethan, let go of her."Ethan released me, his eyes apologetic. "I'm sorry," he muttered, before darting a glance at Olivia and rushing upstairs.Olivia walked up to me, concern etched on her face. "Are you okay?" she asked, helping me sit down.I nodded, still staring at her. I felt like strangling her to death. I wanted to ask her how I had hurt her so badly that she couldn't forgive me, that she had to go to such extremes to get back at me."Ethan doesn't like it when someone cuts their hair," Olivia said, as if trying to justify Ethan's behavior.I knew she was right. Ethan had a

Chapter ten.Evelyn's POV.I wondered what kind of person Alex was? No single empathy. How could I tell him that Ethan was married to someone else and he just shrugged it off like it was no big deal? It wasn't his fault, really - he was just lucky I needed his help.I just need to get done with this so we don't cross paths. Also there was no way I could keep paying him now that we were partners.I pushed open the front door, removed my coat, and dropped it on the chair. Earlier, when Ethan left for work, I told Olivia I wanted to go for a stroll. She offered to follow me, but I declined, knowing I was actually heading to Alex's office.Now, feeling exhausted, I decided to take a rest. As I passed Ethan's room, I was startled by a woman's cry of pain.Immidiately I pressed my ears against the door and listened to the sound, confirming it was coming from Olivia. And then I heard Ethan's voice. I couldn't help but glance at my wristwatch. It was past twelve and he was back way too ear
