Все главы Revenge Of my Ex- Mother In Law: Глава 31 - Глава 40

ETHAN'S POV “Edward Harper? He is my grandfather… he is my grandfather… he is my grandfather,” the words echoed relentlessly in my mind. I stood frozen, staring at the young girl before me. Her gray eyes mirrored mine so eerily, her dark hair cascading around her face. It hit me then Edward had brown hair, just like Amelia. No, no, no, no, no, it couldn’t be possible. Amelia wouldn’t hate me enough to hide my own daughter from me. It just couldn’t be. A daughter? No, this had to be some setup. Amelia must have coached her to say this, to mess with my head and keep me on edge. That had to be it. Convinced of this, I shot to my feet, startling Etha so much she jumped “Little girl,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady, “when I saw you yesterday, I thought you were a brilliant l kid. It’d be a shame if someone as young as you was lying about something this serious. Do you even realize what you’re implying? Your mother is married to Edward Harper. Tell me, how can your mother

AMELIA'S POV All day, I couldn’t focus, my mind trapped in a loop of Ethan’s words. How could he speak with such certainty, as if he already knew about our daughter? It didn’t just make sense. I’d never breathed a word of Etha to him, and he’d only met her once, surely that wasn’t enough for him to suspect she might be his daughter!!.My heart raced with dread, each thought tightening the knot in my chest.I had to act, had to keep him from finding out. Once, I’d dreamed of telling him about Etha, back when I still had the hope we could be together again. But now? With the venom between us, the way we could barely stand each other? No way, not now. I’d never let him take her from me. Etha was my everything, my only family, my reason for breathing, my hope. If Ethan took her, something told me I’d never see her again, no matter how much money I threw at the fight.I had to move fast. He wasn’t certain yet, so the best thing was to get Etha out of here before he could confirm an

ETHA’S POVI lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, not even turning when Mom came into my room. I couldn’t look at her, not after everything. My heart hurt too much. She sighed and walked over to my bed. “I’ll try to come back early to see you to the airport,” she said, her voice calm but firm. “Listen, Etha, whatever I’m doing is for your own good. When you’re older, you’ll understand. There’s a threat here, and I don’t want that for you. I’ll do anything to protect you..you know that. When it’s safe, I can bring you back, and we can talk about living here. But for now, it’s not safe. I want you in Georgia, where I know you’ll be okay, where I can keep an eye on you.”bShe sighed again, like she was tired. “I’m doing everything I can to make sure nothing happens to you. I hope you understand. You’ve always been a smart girl.” She leaned down, her lips brushing my hair. “I’ll be home soon, okay? I love you.” I didn’t say anything, didn’t move. She waited, but when I stayed quiet

ETHAN'S POV ☯⁠☯☯⁠☯In Oliver's office, I planted my butt on one of the seats in front of his desk to patiently wait for him, since he already told the nurses to take little Etha to the ward to receive medical attention, thereby having me guided into his office with the assurance that he would be joining me shortly. Still seated, my phone buzzed, the name of my secretary, Elise Morgan, popping up on my screen as I pulled it out from my pocket to check the caller's ID. I swiped up the green button to answer, her voice sounding in my ears. “Hello, sir! I guess you might want to hear this.” She stopped talking, cutting herself off. “I have some news about Ms. Harper. Would you want to hear of it, sir?!!!” She casually asked to know if I was interested in listening to what she's got to say. “Speak up! I'm all ears, Elise.”I heard myself talk to her over the phone, my low tone filling the space.“Like I said earlier sir! It's about Ms. Harper. I just got the news that she was involved in

AMELIA'S POV☯⁠☯☯⁠☯The strong smell of drugs and vaccines, made me sneeze back to life. I looked around to examine the environment, realizing I wasn't just looking crappy in the light blue gown on me, but also stuck in a clinical ward, an IV Pole beside the bed where I laid, and a cannula inserted into my vein. “Ugh!” I inhaled sharply through my nostrils, sitting upright to place a hand on my forehead, hoping for the terrible headache that just kicked in…to go away. Not long, a nurse wheeled a medication cart into the ward. “Oh my! You're awake ma'am.”She looked totally surprised, letting go of the cart's handle to make her way over to stand by my bedside. “Can you remember anything? Like memories?” She inquired, her eyes all over me. I didn't utter a word in response. Instead, I batted my lashes… “You've been unconscious for days, Ms. Harper. And your medical report says…” She cut herself off, making her way to where the medication cart was positioned, to grab a chart folder f
