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 four.Ethan's POV.I called out, "Evelyn, please!" but she ignored me, climbing the stairs instead. I clenched my fists in frustration, stomping my feet on the ground. "Fuck!" I exclaimed.I blamed Olivia for the mess. "That fool!" I muttered. Women always let their emotions get the better of them. I should have known Olivia wouldn't hesitate to reveal our plan. My five years of hard work were now down the drain.I rubbed my hands through my hair, trying to think, to make sense of everything.I dialed Olivia's number, but she didn't pick up. I called again, and she finally answered, her tone arrogant. "What do you want? Insult me some more?" I let out a hiss, covering my mouth with my hand so Evelyn wouldn't hear me."Where are you?" I asked, trying to keep my voice low. Olivia responded, "How does that concern you?" I sighed, frustrated. "Meet me at the canteen nearby." Olivia laughed, saying, "You think I'm Evelyn, who'll follow your orders like a fool?" I knew

Chapter twenty six.Evelyn's POV.It didn't take long for the sleeping pill to kick in, and Ethan fell asleep on the couch. I quickly got dressed, grabbed the car keys, and drove to Alex's office.I arrived fast and apologized as soon as I entered his office. "Sorry I'm late."Alex didn't say anything, so I pulled up a chair and sat across from him. "Good morning," he said, and I raised an eyebrow."This is new, you greeting me first?" I teased, but Alex just scoffed. "I'm teaching you manners."Before I could respond, the door opened, and my eyes darted to the entrance. Mr. Adrian walked in, and I exclaimed, "Oh my!" I jumped up to hug him, and he hugged me back tightly. Mr. Adrian was like a father to me.I pulled away from the hug. "It's been so long! Where have you been?" I asked, eager to catch up.Mr. Adrian shared with me how Ethan had falsely accused him of stealing company funds. Despite trying to clear his name, he was unable to prove his innocence and was fired. He wanted t

Chapter twenty Eight.Evelyn's POV.Ethan struggled against the police, saying, "Evelyn, tell them the truth! I didn't try to kill you!" But I just watched him, thinking about how hard it had been for me to deal with him until now. Finally, the whole world got to see his true side.As I watched Ethan plead with me, I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders. I looked up to see Alex, who was gently rubbing my back. I tried to smile, but inside, I was shaking. I didn't want to worry Alex, who had already warned me not to do this because of my health."But what can I do? This is a murder case; I need evidence, not emotions. But now, everything had changed. The whole scene had unfolded in public, and everyone had witnessed it. This was all the evidence I needed.As I stood there, everything around me began to blur. I stumbled, my hands rising to my head. The last thing I heard was Alex screaming my name: "Evelyn!" Then, everything went black.I groaned, struggling to open my eyes. My eyel

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
