Chapter 74Ethan’s POVI had heeded Alex’s advice and taken one of my guards with him and he was under strict orders to tranquilize me with the tranquilizer gun I had given him I suddenly went berserk as Alex had put it.The drive to Alex’s house was quite long, I wondered why the hell he had to pick a house that was so far from the mansion, I sat in the back seat of the brooding.I wondered what it will be like to go there, Zara had been murdered right inside that house, on my orders, I still felt shame anytime I thought about it, that was without a doubt the most cowardly thing I had ever done in my entire life.I wondered how Alex could look at me and want to rip me apart limb from limb because I was very sure it was what I would have done if it were me.“We have arrived Sir” My guard said to me from the driver’s seat.My thoughts were immediately broken and I turned to look at the house, I had never really paid attention to it before but it was quite a nice house, it was not big a
Chapter 75Alexander’s POVThe drive with Ethan was the weirdest I had ever had in my entire life, I was so glad when we finally pulled up in front of Dr. Carter’s house, he seemed relived as well because he quickly opened the door and stepped out.We were used to hating one another so much that it was hard to try to be civil with another now, it seemed weird to even smile at him, I much preferred it when we were going for each others throats but if I was being honest with myself, this was not so bad after all.“You think she is home?” Ethan asked me.I shrugged my shoulders and said “Well we have only one way to find out” and then I gestured to the steps.He rolled his eyes and started toward the door, I followed behind him.He rang the door bell and we both stood by the door waiting for it to be opened.A few seconds later, we heard footsteps coming from inside the house and then the door swung open, Dr. Carter stood there, she seemed a little surprised to see us standing on her fro
Chapter 76Maria’s POVI was losing my mind with worry, Ethan had been gone for hours and I have been trying to call him but it turned out he left his phone behind, I prayed he had not lost his mind and wondered off, that will be disastrous to him and everyone around him, I shuddered to think of what might happen if he got hurt or he hurt someone, this was the sort of opportunity the council was searching for.“How is it possible that none of you saw him leave the house? There are a total of 50 guards and 30 maids in this house and you are all telling me no one saw my husband leave this house, does that make sense to anyone of you?” I asked my staffs as they stood lined up before me.“I am really sorry ma’am but we had no idea when he left the house” My head of security said to me.“Can you hear yourself right now? You are supposed to look after him at all times and right now, you have no idea where he is” I snapped at him.He bent his head and said “I am sorry ma’am, I have men looki
Chapter 77Maria’s POVThe entire mansion was silent as I lay in my bed, I could not bring myself to fall asleep, thoughts kept running around in my head, I could not stop replaying the conversation with the Ethan and Alexander in my head, I could not stop thinking about what my mother had done this time.I had this nagging fear that whatever it was something that was terrible, I just prayed it was something that I could handle.The anxiety and curiosity was simply killing me, I had wanted to speak to her the moment I finished my conversation with Ethan and Alexander but they had convinced me to let it go until it was morning but now, I could not get my mind to stop thinking about it and simply fall asleep.With a loud groan, I got up from the bed preparing to go and find something that could make me sleep, I just pulled on my robe when a knock sounded on the door, it was weird for anyone to be knocking on my door by this time and everyone was probably asleep by now.My heart immediate
Chapter 78Ethan’ POVI had not seen Maria all morning and the maids had informed me that she was a bit unwell so she was sleeping, I had wanted to check on her but then Dr. Carter had arrived for our session so I had to check on her later instead.“Can you hear me Ethan?” I heard Dr. Carter saying to me.I quickly looked in her direction and she was watching me with a small smile on her face, it seemed like I had not been paying attention to her questions.“I am sorry, what was your question again?” I asked her.She closed her notebook and placed it on the table beside her “What’s on your mind Ethan?” she asked me.I let out a sigh and said “It is nothing really, I was just a bit worried about Maria, I heard she was unwell” “You heard? She is your wife, you are expected to know everything about her” she said with a smile.“I know that, it is just that I am a bit scared to hurt her since all this started, the last time, I had barely held on to my senses to stop myself from hurting he
Chapter 79Alex’s POVI heard a knock on the door and did not even bother moving to answer it, my head was spinning on my shoulders, this was the last time I was listening to Sam, I should have known better than to go drinking with him last night, the jerk drank like a fish, I was pretty sure I would kill him the next time I saw him.I heard footsteps approaching my room and I was sure it was Agatha, I groaned and said “I am not receiving any visitors today Agatha, ask whoever it is to leave” “But Sir, the lady says she has something important to discuss with you” Agatha said.“I am sure she does, tell her whoever it is that I am sleeping and will be up till tomorrow” I said.“Don’t be such a lazy ass Alexander, you should get up already, it’s past noon” A very familiar voice.I rolled my eyes and said “And why are in my house Sharon?” I heard the click of her heeled shoes on the tiled floor as she walked into the room.“Madam you can’t come in here” Agatha was saying.“It’s okay Ag
Chapter 80Alexander’s POVIt was interesting to see how pale Sharon Sandoval had gotten all of a sudden, she looked like she did not want to be here at all, she reached for her purse and stood up.“I should be on my way now, I will be in touch” she said.“What is the hurry Sharon? Stick around for a bit, I will like to hear Dr. Carter’s opinion on your proposal” I said with a smirk on my face.She shot me a look that told me she wanted to bash my face in with her heels.“What are you trying to cook up again this time Sharon?” Dr. Carter asked.“What I do is no business of yours Emily, so mind your damn business” she snapped.“Don’t worry Dr. I will tell you all about it, have a seat” I said as I turned to Dr. Carter with a smile on my face.She took a seat, her glare pinned on Sharon Sandoval.“You must feel like you are in control of everything and that no one can do anything to you” She said to me as she took her seat again, she had a smile on her face but the smile was anything but
Chapter 81Maria’s POVI woke up to find Ethan sleeping on the bed beside me, his face looked calm and relaxed in his sleep, his golden hair had fallen over his face, shielding a bit of his face from my view, I reached out and brushed the hair away, my heart skipped a bit when my eyes rested on his face, he was beautiful, he looked like an angel, everything about him was always so calm and serene, I wondered how perfect he would have been if my mother had not ruined his life.I traced my fingertips over his jaw line, he was indeed very beautiful, his long lashes lined his eyes, his perfect nose and lips that sent butterflies floating into my stomach, I felt tears well up in my eyes, how was I ever going to face him, how was I going to tell him that my mother was responsible for his mother’s death and it was possible that she was responsible for the madness that was currently plaguing him.His eyelids suddenly fluttered open and I was met with those perfect blue eyes of his, his face i
