All Chapters of Rebirth of the naive maid: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Ethan's p.o.v I stood among the mourners, my eyes fixed on the polished wooden casket bearing my father's name. The somber atmosphere hung heavy over the estate's grounds, where friends, family, and business associates had gathered to pay their respects to Edmond Slade, my father, the man who had built an empire and taught me the intricacies of business. As I gazed at the casket, my mind struggled to comprehend the finality of his death. The doctor had called one night following his deteriorating health at the hospital. This was after he had been placed on house rest for many weeks because of course his condition was better or so did everyone thought until he took his last breath on that bed. His renal failure had taken a great toll on him. My father was gone, and in that moment, I felt the weight of my newfound responsibilities settling upon me. The guests began to file past the casket, offering condolences to me and my family, with Martha, Jane and Evan standing next to me. I

Jane's p.o.v"I swear to you that I don't know who it was, Tanya. If only I could figure it out," I said to Tanya following the anonymous messages I had received the last time.Honestly, I had died twice the night Hailey's sister came to our house that night before I was resuscitated by what she had later said. I doubted if Hailey ever told her about us or me at all since our friendship was rather ephemeral and mostly virtual since we are distance apart. And even though I have never met her, I could literally see Hailey in her— from her height to her face. They are exactly the same, anyone can tell!"Are you sure she was the only one home that day for whosever to capture the moment that well?" Tanya asked. "I mean, it's obvious there was someone around beside all three of you that day— the second witness perhaps.""I don't know, Tanya. I just acted on impulse that day, insomuch that I couldn't even see Ethan. He was there, but it felt like he wasn't. I couldn't see anything put my mis

Ethan's p.o.v Both men sitted and introduced themselves. "Morning, Mr. Slade. I am Josh," one of them said. "And this is my colleague from Silver Spring. His name is Job. We received your message about wanting our partnership with your company.""Yes, sir."Both Josh and Job looked at each other before Josh continued to speak. "As much as we'd love to partner with you, we believe the records of your company since the pass few months right now isn't encouraging. It's not good enough to want to prompt us to even want to give you a try."My heart sank at the statement Josh had made. I pursed my lips and rested my elbows on the table, bringing my hand to my mouth with my fist partially covered by my other hand.. I know exactly what this means for me— what they are insinuating and that explains why they probably didn't send me an email in response to it."Don't look at it that way Mr. Slade," Job chimed in. "It's just that our company needs a company that has at least a stronger place in

Freya's p.o.v My heart fell to my mouth the minute I saw Ethan banging at my door. I had been in the privy, taking my shower after a long day at work. Nicole had left for home that very moment I returned and would be back the next morning as usual. I had thought she had probably forgotten something and had come back for it but then again, I know her to be reserved and not violent. She'd never bang on the door like that. I got to the door and I wasn't only right but shocked to have met him there. My breath caught and I froze at the mere sight of him. His familiar scent filled up my nose, his manliness and how his height loomed over me made me hate the fact that I still feel a spark with him by just a look at him. I almost forgot I was putting on an almost transparent red gown with almost everything to see, leaving nothing to the imagination and my wetness wasn't helping either. I tried to push him out but with no success. My anger piqued as I caught his pupils dilate at the si

Freya's p.o.v I held my head in frustration as Juliana continued to scold me over the phone. Maybe, I had done the unforgiving by lying to Ethan but at least him leaving had saved me from embarrassing myself right in front of me and I know it's only a matter of time before he comes back. "I don't care, Juliana. I don't care if he comes back , he won't be taking my child away from me because he has a father now and I do not need an intruder to disrupt that happiness." "Girl. You are sitting on a time bomb and I hope you know what this means for you!" Juliana said. "Whatever Juliana. I don't care." ********** Ethan's p.o.v I unravelled my tie and fell onto the leather couch in my bed room. My mind, a state and mix of frustration, disappointment and anger. I rose up due to my unsettled state of mind and paced thoughtfully around the room. My heated moment with Freya replayed in my head and I just couldn't place my hand on the fact that something doesn't feel right about th
