The return of the Heiress chapter thirty
Chapter thirty.Evelyn's POV.My heart was racing as I stared at the judge, my hands clasped together in anticipation. The judge began to speak, "With all the evidence presented from both parties, I hereby declare..." He paused, looking at us, and I held my breath. "Mr. Ethan Blackwood..." He trailed off again, and I swallowed hard, closing my eyes.The judge continued, "Mr. Ethan Blackwood, guilty." I let out a loud cry of joy and rushed to Alex, hugging him tightly. "I did it! I did it! I did it!" I exclaimed, and he held me close.The judge slammed his gavel, shouting, "Order! Order! Order!" I released Alex and returned to my seat.The judge continued, "Mr. Ethan Blackwood is guilty of attempted murder and theft. However, regarding the bigamy charge, due to hospital records indicating Evelyn Blackwood's memory loss and lack of concrete evidence, he is acquitted of that count.”I nodded, trying to hold back tears. Although I wanted Ethan to face punishment for bigamy, I was satis

Chapter thirty one.Evelyn's POV.As Olivia ranted on, she didn't notice the police officers sneaking up behind her. I caught her attention with a mischievous smile, gesturing for her to turn around. Her eyes widened as she took in the scene, and she flinched when she saw the officers.The officers swiftly handcuffed her, announcing, "You're under arrest for being an accomplice to attempted murder." Olivia's eyes darted to me, her face contorted in shock and anger."Evelyn, you did—" she began, but her voice trailed off as I smiled smugly. "Yes, I pressed the charges," I said, my voice calm and collected.Olivia's face turned red with rage as she snarled, "You betrayed me!" She lunged forward, trying to reach me, but the officers pulled her back.I stared at her, my smile unwavering. "This is what betrayal tastes like, darling," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "Why are you complaining? I just gave you a taste of your own medicine.”Olivia's face contorted in rage as she hurled

Chapter thirty two.Alex’s POV."Evelyn," I said, but before I could process anything, she pressed her lips to mine.I gasped in surprise and pulled away immediately. What's happening? Evelyn laughed, clearly drunk, and leaned in to kiss me again. "Evelyn, stop," I said firmly.But she shook her head, her eyes welling up with tears. "No, I won't," she slurred.She began to sob, her words tumbling out in a despairing whisper. "No one likes me... everyone hates me."I tried to comfort her, opening my arms. "Shh, Evelyn, come closer."But she flinched away, still crying. I wished she wouldn't drink so much ."Evelyn, stop crying," I said, trying to sound firm, but it came out more like a plea. I had more important things to do, but I was stuck here with her.I pulled her close and hugged her, patting her back. "I'm here, I don't hate you," I said softly.But as soon as the words left my lips, she pulled away, her face twisted in a frown. "You hate me. You're always grumpy, your face

Chapter thirty three.Evelyn's POV.I groaned, slowly opening my eyes. My head felt heavy, and I shut them again, trying to shake off the haze. When I opened them again, everything was blurry. I closed my eyes once more and tried again, this time focusing slowly.As my vision cleared, I struggled to sit up, looking around the unfamiliar room. It didn't resemble my room or Ethan's. This room was larger, painted a soft pink, with white curtains.My gaze wandered to the king-size bed, which was also pink, including the bedsheets. The dressing table matched the pink theme. For a moment, I thought my drunkenness was playing tricks on me. I closed my eyes and opened them again – everything still looked the same."Where am I?" I wondered, feeling a surge of panic. I can't remember anything from yesterday aside me going home after the court case.I wanted to call out for help, but a part of me suspected I might be kidnapped, and alerting whoever was holding me might not be the best idea.I

Chapter thirty four.Alex's POV.Her face turned cold, and I chuckled. "What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" I asked, but she remained silent, staring at me. I continued, "I'm only asking you to defend me for money laundering and drugs. Why are you acting like I'm proposing?"Her expression changed, and she finally spoke up. "Did you get involved in money laundering and drugs?" she asked.I nodded. "Yes, I did. And there's evidence, thanks to your father," I said, my anger rising.She looked confused. "My father? What does he have to do with this?" she asked.I wanted to confront her about her father's past actions, which had ruined my family. But I bit my tongue, knowing this wasn't the time for banters."Your father didn't get the facts straight," I said, my anger boiling over. "He accused my family of money laundering and drugs, pressed charges, and manipulated the outcome. We were wrongly convicted."As expected, she defended her father, saying; “My father would never lie. He's a

Chapter thirty five.Evelyn's POV.I couldn't believe what Alex had said. If my dad had pressed charges against his family for money laundering and drugs, it meant they were guilty. I couldn't defend someone who had committed such crimes. That would make me no better than Ethan and Olivia.Moreover, my dad had brought the charges, and Alex was expecting me to call him a liar. That was something I couldn't do.I slammed my hands against the wall, cursing my own stupidity. "Damn it!" I exclaimed, wincing in pain. Defending Alex would ruin my law firm's reputation - too much was at stake.I had to get out. Taking a deep breath, I headed to the window. The second-floor drop was risky, but I didn't care. Staying with Alex was already a nightmare.I closed my eyes, feeling a wave of desperation. Could I ever find happiness? It seemed like every time I thought I could, something came crashing down. I was allergic to happiness, it seemed. With a surge of anger, I prepared to make my escape.

Chapter thirty six.Evelyn's POV.I took the phone and my eyes widened in shock. There was a picture of Alex kissing my cheek, and I had no memory of it. I recalled the day the photos were taken – Alex had insisted on taking pictures, but nothing like this.My gaze darted to Alex, who stood in front of me with a smirk, his hands in his pockets. "What?" he asked, snatching the phone from my hand. He walked closer to me, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Imagine what would happen if I post this online and tell everyone we're in a relationship. What do you think people would say?""Don't even think about it," I warned, but he just chuckled. "Shh," he said, placing his hand over my mouth. "If I post this, people will think you had your husband locked up so you could cheat on him with me," Alex said, his words making my eyes widen in horror.Alex was despicable, and the look in his eyes told me he wasn't just bluffing. I hated this more than anything, feeling trapped and helpless.I bit

Chapter thirty seven.Evelyn's POV."Did I say something wrong?" I asked, noticing her sudden change in expression. She shook her head, still frowning, and dropped the napkin she was holding."What do you want from his room?" she asked, her tone guarded. I hesitated, rubbing the back of my neck. "Nothing," I lied, but she clearly didn't believe me.She stared at me knowingly but didn't press the issue. "You can access most rooms, but the boss's room is off-limits," she said."Why?" I asked, feeling a surge of frustration. "I'm not a criminal, if there's anyone who is then he's…." I bit my tongue, realizing I was about to reveal too much.I took a deep breath, composing myself. I opened my eyes and forced a smile, trying to diffuse the tension."I'm sorry about that," I mumbled, trying to appease her. She smiled and said, "It's fine." But I felt like screaming – how could it be fine? She took my hands, her expression softening. "You're like a daughter to me, which is why I'm warn

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

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

Chapter forty three.Evelyn's POV. But as I opened it, my eyes locked onto Ethan's, and I froze, jar slipping from my grasp."Surprised, surprised, surprised," Ethan said, his voice dripping with amusement.I took a step back, swallowing hard. "Ethan, I can explain," I said, hands raised in a futile attempt to placate him.But he just shook his head, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "I'm not interested in anything," he said, advancing towards me.I let out a loud scream for help, but there was only silence. "Help!" I screamed again, and Ethan burst into laughter."Someone help, help, help," he mocked, his voice echoing through the hallway.I swallowed hard, my heart racing as sweat trickled down my face. Ethan closed in on me, his body trapping me against the wall as he placed his hands on either side of my head."Longest time, dearest wife," he sneered, his breath hot against my skin.I scoffed, defiance rising up. "I'm not your wife," I spat, but my words were met

Chapter two.Alex's POV.I tried to pull my hand away as she slept, but she gripped it tightly and whispered, "Don't go." A smile spread across my face."I'm not going anywhere," I said, gently kissing her hand. The gesture brought back memories. I recalled how Evelyn would always ask me to stay by her side when she was scared.I wondered how she could forget about our close bond so easily. We had been childhood friends from around six to eight years old, but then we moved away from the city.When we returned, she didn't remember me, but I recalled every detail about her – her smile, her laughter, and her fears. My eyes drifted to her, and I whispered, "Why does Jake have to be your father? We could've been happy by now, just you and me."I kissed her hand again, feeling a mix of emotions. With Ethan on the loose, her fear was justified. It was only a matter of time before he might target her again.I needed to take care of the Ethan situation and ensure I didn't lose the court cas

Chapter forty one.Evelyn's POV.The fork slipped from my hand, clattering to the plate. "You're joking, right?" I asked, disbelieving.Alex shook his head, his expression grim. He spoke briefly into the phone, "I'll call you back. Thanks for the information," before hanging up.I stood up, my mind reeling. "Ethan escaped from prison," Alex had said. The words echoed in my head, and I felt like I was in a daze.Alex called out to me, "Evelyn, Evelyn," but I wasn't listening. I was about to climb the stairs when he grabbed me, spinning me around aggressively. I turned to face him, but my brain was blank, and I couldn't read his expression."Talk to me, Evelyn," Alex said, but I just stared at him, trying to process the news. Ethan's escape meant I was in trouble, and I felt a wave of fear. I gasped.Alex called out to me again, but I didn't respond. He gently tapped my face, trying to snap me out of it. "Evelyn, listen to me," he said.That's when I reached out and hugged him tightl

Chapter forty.Evelyn's POV.The next day, Alex and I went to court, where I filed a notice to reopen the case. The reaction was one of surprise, with many assuming my father had ensured justice for the innocent. Little did they know, my hands were tied.Alex shadowed me everywhere, ensuring I didn't do anything unexpected. After we finished in court, we stepped outside, and I was surprised to see paparazzi waiting. My eyes narrowed at Alex, who simply smirked, and I clenched my fists."What’s the meaning of this?" I asked, annoyed. But he simply ignored my existence. Involving the paparazzi wasn’t necessary. Alex stepped closer, wrapped his arm around my shoulders, and whispered, "Smile."I adjusted my sunglasses, forced a smile, and Alex held my hand as the paparazzi swarmed us with questions. "Miss Evelyn, are you really defending Alex?" one of them asked. I ignored the question and pushed through the crowd.Another reporter asked, "You defended your ex-husband on murder charg

Chapter thirty nine.Evelyn's POV.My head felt heavy as I struggled to open my eyes. Finally, I managed to pry them open and found Alex sitting across from me. As soon as he saw I was awake, he stood up and walked over to my bed."How are you feeling?" he asked. I tried to sit up, but he gently held me down. He removed a cold towel from my forehead, and I raised my eyebrows in surprise.My gaze met Alex's, and he explained, "You fainted last night." I could only manage a soft "ohh" before collapsing back onto the bed, feeling overwhelmed. Being around him felt awkward. Then, Alex said, "Open your mouth," and my gaze snapped to him. He was holding a thermometer, which he placed under my tongue. After a moment, he removed it."Your temperature is normal now," he said, and I nodded, laying back down. I could sense he wanted to say something more, but I wasn't interested. Given our situation, I didn't want to be friends with Alex – ever."Sorry," Alex said suddenly, and I turned to

Chapter thirty Eight.Evelyn's POV.He took a step closer, and I backed away until my back hit the wall, trapping me. My heart was racing wildly as Alex loomed over me, his eyes blazing with a cold intensity.I didn't realize I'd whispered "please" until the word was already out, a desperate plea in the face of his unyielding stare.Alex slammed his hands against the wall above my head, his eyes blazing with fury. "What are you doing here?" he thundered. I swallowed hard, sweat trickling down my face despite the chill in the room."Answer me!" he barked. I squeezed my eyes shut, whispering "please" – the only word I could manage. Seeing Alex like this terrified me. I wondered what he would do to me – would he hit me, humiliate me, or something worse?Suddenly, Alex swept me off the floor, dragging me abruptly. "Alex, please!" I begged, but he didn't respond.”Alex! Please don't do this”The maid stood by, watching me with pity in their eyes as Alex's grip held me firm.I stood bef
