All Chapters of Pregnant And Abandoned, I Returned As A Hidden Heiress: Chapter 161 - Chapter 168

MELISSA'S POV I let out a small sigh, knowing fully well what I had to do next. Now, I didn’t like the idea of what I was about to do. In fact, a part of me kept whispering in my ears that I should just leave James and let him sort himself out at the station. If I really thought about it, this could even be an opportunity. With him out of the house for a while, I would finally have some peace and quiet without his constant presence around. But I couldn’t do that. Like I said, I didn’t like the idea, but I still had to go see him and get him out of there. At the very least, I needed to find out what the hell all these accusations were about and if any of them were actually true. Thankfully, it wasn’t that late in the evening yet. There was still enough time for me to go to the station and talk to someone who could explain everything properly. My mind was still spinning as I hurried toward the house entrance, my heels clicking against the ground faster than usual. Everything felt m

MELISSA'S POV I didn’t realize how quiet the world could be until I stepped out of the police station that night. The air outside felt colder than it should have been, and for a moment I just stood there, staring at nothing in particular. People were passing by, cars were moving along the road, life was still going on as if nothing had happened. But for me, everything had just collapsed in a matter of hours. James had been taken away in handcuffs. Our house was no longer ours. And the life I had carefully built for myself… was slipping out of my hands. I let out a slow breath and rubbed my temples, trying to calm the storm in my head. The officer’s words were still ringing loudly in my ears. All properties owned by James Reed have been seized. Which meant the apartment, the accounts, everything tied to him… gone. I know he basically didn’t have much left but still.. And since most of the things in my life were connected to James in one way or another, that meant I had practic

ANNA'S POV At this point I needed a glass of water to calm my nerves, my throat was dry and I wasn’t thinking straight. I walked straight towards the water dispenser, grabbing a small plastic cup on my way. The once lively venue now looked strangely empty, like a party that had ended too suddenly. Chairs were slightly out of place. And the more I thought about it, the more one person kept appearing in my mind. Isabel. I was just about to walk toward my family again when I suddenly saw her. She walked in from the opposite side of the hall like nothing had happened. Like she had just stepped out for a moment and returned. My eyes narrowed slightly. There she was. Acting completely normal. Isabel’s expression looked confused as she approached us, glancing around the room as if she had no idea what had just taken place here. “What happened?” she asked, looking between all of us. “Why is everyone leaving? Why did the ceremony end so early?” Her tone sounded inno

ANNA'S POV I still couldn’t believe it Even as I stood there in the middle of the living room, watching everything unfold around me, my mind refused to fully process what had just happened. Isabel was dead. The words echoed again and again in my head, but they didn’t feel real. Just a few minutes ago she had been standing in front of me, angry, screaming, trying to attack me. Now… she was lying on the floor, motionless, while paramedics carefully placed her body into a black bag. I felt a strange heaviness settle inside my chest. I didn’t like Isabel. That much was true. She had hurt this family more times than I could count. She had betrayed us, lied to us, and tried to destroy everything we had built. But even then… I never wanted it to end like this. Not like this. My throat tightened as I watched the paramedics zip the body bag closed. Mom suddenly broke down again beside me. A sob escaped her lips as she buried her face in Dad’s chest, her shoulders shaking uncontroll
