The return of the Heiress chapter sixteen
Chapter sixteen.Evelyn's POV.I hastily grabbed a book from the shelf, trying to create an alibi for when Ethan reviewed the CCTV footage. I wanted him to think I had only come to the office to borrow a book. With the book in hand, I quickly returned to my room, flinging it onto the bed."Fuck!" I exclaimed, one hand on my waist and the other running through my hair. What had I done to make Ethan suspicious of me? I thought I had been careful enough.Just as I was trying to process my thoughts, I heard a loud commotion outside. I quickly stepped out of my room to see what was happening. To my surprise, Ethan had slapped Olivia, leaving her looking shocked and stunned.I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. It seemed like Olivia had finally confronted Ethan, poor thing."How dare you!" Olivia shouted, her voice echoing through the hallway. "Did you think I'm Evelyn? Uhh? You would regret what you just did, I promise you!" She stormed off, climbing the stairs, and I quic

Evelyn's POV.As night fell, I quickly got ready, putting on my hoodie and heavy makeup to disguise myself. I stepped out of the house and headed to my car, parking in a distance where I could observe without being seen.Before long, Olivia's car passed by, and I followed her at a safe distance. She pulled up to a building and stepped out of her car, and I did the same, keeping a low profile.As I watched, Olivia's next action made my eyes widen in shock and my mouth agape, as I struggled to process what I was seeing.I watched in shock as Olivia passionately French-kissed a man. My mind was reeling. What the hell? Was this what Ethan had left me for? A cheater like him? It seemed that people really did attract their own kind.I quickly pulled out my phone and started recording them, trying to capture as much evidence as possible. Olivia paused, giggling, and the man kissed her stomach. My eyes widened as I realized something.If Olivia was cheating on Ethan, then who was the fathe

Chapter Eighteen.Evelyn's POV."What are we going to do?" I asked Alex, feeling a sense of urgency.Alex chuckled and replied, "What do you mean by 'we'?" I raised my eyebrows, incredulous. "You can't be serious," I said, my tone firm. "This is your problem, so you should be saying what you're going to do."I didn't have time for Alex's game right now. He was the least of my problems. I nodded, but before I could respond, Alex said, "I'll just drop you at home."I remembered that my gym outfit was still at the gym, so I mentioned it to Alex. He simply shook his head, and I could sense his frustration. "I'm working with a dumbass," he mumbled but I didn't bother to respond. Alex sped off, and the wait felt like an eternity. When we finally arrived at the gym, I quickly changed into my gym outfit. But as I stepped out, my heart sank. Ethan was standing there, his arms crossed, staring at me with suspicion.My heart began to race as Ethan asked, "Where were you? I searched everywhe

Chapter nineteen.Evelyn's POV.Just then, my door burst open, and I quickly hid my phone under the blanket. I pretended to yawn as Olivia walked in. "You're just waking up," she said, and I nodded, forcing a smile. She nodded too. "I haven't seen you, so I came to check on you. It's getting late." I nodded again, still smiling. "Thank you, that's so nice of you. I'll be out soon." With that, she closed the door. I let out a sigh, about to retrieve my phone, when the door opened again. I quickly hid my phone once more. This time, Olivia just poked her head in. "Are you going to the gym?" she asked. "No," I replied, getting irritated. Why couldn't she just leave me alone?Olivia smiled and closed the door, but I waited before taking out my phone again. I wanted to make sure she wouldn't burst in on me. When the coast was clear, I pulled out my phone and clicked on it. What I saw made my stomach turn - Olivia was having sex with the strange man. I looked away, disgusted, and sho

Chapter twenty.Evelyn's POV.It was party day, and I watched as the decorations went up. Olivia had been working hard to get everything ready. The CCTV footage confirmed Olivia's partner needed cash to pay some bills, and since their account was frozen, she decided to host this party to get money. And Ethan, foolishly, helped her. I wondered how Ethan never asked her how she spends her money, but then again, I shouldn't expect anything else from thieves like them.As the guests arrived, Olivia stood at the entrance, smiling and welcoming everyone. But when she saw Alex, she paused, her eyes darting back and forth between us. I quickly walked over to her, smiling. "Alex, you're here!" I said, not giving Alex a chance to respond before I was pulled into a corner."What is he doing here? You invited him, didn't you?" Olivia asked, firing off questions in rapid succession. "I thought you said you'd tell us if he contacted you? You both still communicate right?"I smiled calmly. "How

Chapter twenty one.Evelyn's POV.My eyes flicked to my wristwatch, and I smiled to myself. It was time to put Olivia in her place. The lights dimmed, and I counted down, a sense of anticipation building inside me. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Boom!The only light in the room came from the projector, and the sound of moans filled the air. Then, Olivia appeared on screen, and her eyes widened in shock. She was kissing a young man in the video. My gaze shifted to Ethan, whose eyes were also wide with surprise, before darting back to Olivia.I had carefully edited the video to stop at the point where they were undressing, avoiding the part where they had sex. The next clip showed them discussing their plan to run away with the money they would steal from Ethan. Olivia was frantic, screaming, "Stop this video! Who's in charge? Stop this!" But no one responded.As the video ended and the lights came back on, Ethan's face turned red with rage, and in a split second, he slapped Olivia.The r

Chapter twenty two.Evelyn's POV.Olivia gasped, her eyes wide with shock, as she rubbed her face. Alex dragged me from behind, pulling me to face him. "What are you doing?" he whispered. I replied in a hushed tone, "I know what I'm doing, Alex. Trust me."Alex stared at me for a moment before releasing his grip. I turned to face Olivia, who looked at me in shock. "You and my husband had something going on, and you lied about him trying to kill me?" I accused, trying to act like I was angry."Why would I lie?" Olivia shot back. "Did you think your accident just happened?" I smiled inwardly, knowing I'd pushed her to reveal more. I needed to know what had led to my "accident" and why they'd decided to kill me."Anyone can have an accident, Olivia," I said, trying to keep my cool. "Don't blame my Ethan. He would never hurt anyone, not even a fly.”Olivia let out a sarcastic laugh. "Yes, anyone can have an accident," she said, bursting into laughter again. "Ethan was right; you're v

Chapter twenty three.Evelyn's POV "Thank you, Evelyn, for trusting us," he said, but I just stared at him and walked away. I made my way to the stage, took the microphone, and began to speak. "It's a shame that an occasion meant to be joyful ended on such a sour note," I said, meeting the pitying gazes of the guests. I despised being looked at with pity; it made me feel weak. But I wasn't weak – I was my father's daughter, and I wouldn't let anyone make me feel otherwise.I gripped the microphone tightly and continued, "I appreciate each and every one of you for coming, but unfortunately, the party has come to an end." With that, I dropped the microphone. Alex approached me, offering his hands, and I placed mine in his. He helped me down from the stage. Just then, I heard Ethan calling my name – "Evelyn.”I locked eyes with Ethan, but I wasn't having it. "Not now, people are watching," I said, tightening my grip on Alex's arm. Ethan's eyes blazed with anger, and I couldn't hel

The return of the Heiress chapter fifty two
Chapter fifty two.Evelyn's POV.I groggily opened my eyes, grumbling about the early morning. As I tried to sit up, I realized my hand was pinned under Alex's arm, which was wrapped around me. A smile crept onto my face as I saw we were cuddled up together. Alex was still fast asleep, looking peaceful. I felt a strong urge to nuzzle my nose against his, but resisted it. Studying his calm face, I wondered why he couldn't be like this when he was awake. I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. As I attempted to pull away, Alex's arm tightened around me. "Don't go," he murmured in a sleepy voice. I chuckled, feeling a flutter in my chest. Despite the intimacy of the moment, I knew it was just a fleeting illusion. Alex wasn't mine, and I couldn't help but wonder what was the point of having feelings for someone who could never be mine.My mind whispered, "Who says he can never be yours?" I chuckled, shaking my head, my eyes drifting back to Alex. He was still sleeping peacefu
The return of the Heiress chapter fifty one
I called out "Evelyn," but she just kept walking, not even glancing back. Realization dawned on me – I shouldn't have said those hurtful words. I wasn't thinking.A heavy sigh escaped my lips. Being bedridden made it impossible for me to chase after her, to fix this. I shut my eyes, trying to clear the jumble of thoughts in my head. But her parting words kept echoing: "I hope I don't regret this.”And she was right – if it turned out her father and mine were mere pawns in someone's game, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself for putting her through so much. Just because my crush had faded didn't mean I wanted her to get hurt. We could at least try to be friends.I hit the bell without hesitation, and a maid appeared almost immediately. "Get out," I snapped, and she quickly left.I hit the bell again, this time waiting what felt like an eternity for the person I truly wanted – Evelyn. When she finally appeared at the door, despite her frown, she still looked beautiful, her Hazel ey

Chapter fifty.Evelyn's POV.Alex's sudden laughter caught me off guard, and I stared at him, perplexed. "What's funny?" I asked, my brow furrowed in confusion."Everything," he replied, his grin still plastered on his face. I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What do you mean by everything?" I pressed, my tone a mix of annoyance and curiosity.He chuckled again, and I stood up, my voice rising. "I'm trying to tell you something important, and you think it's funny?"Alex's expression sobered slightly as he said, "Evelyn, your father is guilty. Just accept it." My eyes widened in shock. "What did you just say?" I demanded, my voice barely above a whisper.He scoffed, his tone dismissive. "You heard me well. There's no conspiracy, no framing. Just accept it.”I let out a bitter laugh, the sound tinged with pain. "Wow," I said, my voice laced with anger. "I knew you hated my father, but I never knew it ran this deep." My eyes locked onto his, accusatory. "What would my father gain by pu

Chapter forty nine.Evelyn's POV.I closed my eyes, anticipating a kiss, but was interrupted by a shocked gasp. "Holy shit." I quickly pulled away and turned to see Lucas standing there, his eyes wide with surprise.Before he could say anything, I murmured, "Excuse me," and hastily walked away, too embarrassed to face him. I slipped into the bathroom, closing the door behind me and leaning against it to collect my thoughts.I couldn't help but wonder what had gotten into me. Feeling embarrassed and a bit flustered, I took a moment to collect myself. After a few deep breaths, I composed myself and stepped out of the bathroom.That's when I saw the maid carrying a bowl of soup. "Who does this belong to?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.The maid stopped and turned to face me. "It's for the boss," she replied.I nodded and reached out to take the soup from her. "Let me give it to him," I said.The maid hesitated, suggesting I should rest instead. However, I felt a sense

Chapter forty Eight.Alex's POV."Time to go," my dad said, his hands pulling me away.I shook my head, grasping for more time. "Please, let me stay," I begged, but he just chuckled."Someone needs you, son. This isn't your place," he said, his hands slipping from mine.I felt a desperate tug, my fingers curling into emptiness as he walked away. Everything around me began to fade.Distant voices murmured, their words a jumbled mess. I strained to make out who was speaking, but it was like trying to catch smoke.My eyelids felt like lead weights, refusing to open. I forced them open, but everything was blurry. I closed them again, trying to gather my strength.When I opened them once more, the room slowly came into focus. I slowly took in my surroundings, the cacophony of machines beeping and whirring around me. The noise was overwhelming, and I felt an urge to shut it off.Struggling to sit up, I realized my body felt heavy, unresponsive. A hiss escaped my lips as I noticed the oxyg
The return of the Heiress chapter forty seven
Chapter forty seven.Evelyn's POV.Two weeks later."Miss Evelyn, are you sure you want to do this?" the doctor asked.I turned to face Alex's still form, my eyes lingering on his lifeless body. I nodded slowly. "Y-yes."The doctor nodded sympathetically. "I'll arrange the paperwork."With that, I stepped out, leaning against the doorframe as I gazed at Alex. Two weeks had passed, and there was no improvement. The doctors had tried everything, but nothing was working.My eyes welled up with tears as I whispered, "Alex..." The machines beeping around him were the only sounds that broke the silence.I wished desperately that this was all just a nightmare, that I'd wake up and find it was nothing but a dream. But this was my harsh reality. I wiped away the tears streaming down my face, blinking to clear my vision. Walking over to Alex's side, I sat down beside him, forcing a weak smile."We're going home," I whispered, trying to sound optimistic. "Maybe that'll give you a reason to
The return of the Heiress chapter forty six
Chapter forty six.Evelyn's POV."You need to be strong, Miss Evelyn," the doctor said, and I nodded, forcing myself to hold it together.As he stepped aside, I prepared to see Alex, but the nurse wheeled him out of the operating room, and he was taken to a new ward. I bit my lip, struggling to contain my emotions. I walked slowly to his room, my heart heavy with pain.Seeing Alex lying there with an oxygen tube attached to him was a harsh reality. A bitter laugh escaped my lips, and I sat beside him, smiling weakly as I held his hand."Alex, you're a warrior," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "You have to fight this. I don't know how, but you need to wake up, okay?"I held his hands tightly, my head resting on them, and for a moment, I let my guard down. It was hard seeing Alex so helpless, knowing he was bearing the weight of my pain. I felt a surge of guilt and sadness, wishing it was me lying there instead.What's the point of living if the people I care about have to suffe
The return of the Heiress chapter forty five
Chapter forty five.Evelyn's POV."What's happening? Where's Alex?" I demanded, my voice rising in panic. Lucas whispered, "Evelyn, you need to calm down," but I shook my head fiercely."No, don't tell me to calm down. I need to know what's happening," I insisted. The doctor cleared his throat, hesitating before asking, "Are you his fiancée?" I nodded quickly, not caring about explanations – I just needed to know about Alex. The doctor glanced at Lucas, who gave a slight nod, before turning back to me. I swallowed hard, my heart racing with fear. The doctor's serious expression made my anxiety spike, and I braced myself for the worst."Miss Evelyn," the doctor began, but I cut him off, my patience worn thin. "Doctor, please, just tell me what's wrong with Alex." He nodded solemnly."You have to be strong," he said, his words hanging in the air like a threat. "Strong for what?" I pressed, my eyes darting to Lucas, who wrapped his arms around me, holding me tight."Evelyn, calm d

Chapter forty four.Evelyn’s POV."Alex!" My body crumpled, and I fell to my knees, my eyes fixed on him. My hands trembled as I reached out, barely grazing his form. "A...Alex," I whispered, my voice cracking.Ethan's voice cut through the haze, "Hands up!" I didn't respond, lost in the moment, my mind reeling."Hands up!" he barked again, his fingers wrapped tightly around the gun. I slowly raised my hands, a single tear rolling down my cheek."Say your last wish," he said, his voice cold. I nodded, taking a shaky breath. "Let me...," I began, but my voice faltered, swallowed by emotion. "Let me take Alex to the hospital, and then you can kill me," I pleaded.Ethan's response was a burst of maniacal laughter, the sound sending chills down my spin. "You think you can deceive me?" he sneered, his voice dripping with malice. "Say your last wish," he barked again.But my attention was hijacked as my eyes widened, locking onto a figure behind him – Lucas. My heart skipped a beat as
