Chapter 19Author's PovHenry stormed out of the office, really determined to confront Travis. Annabelle called after him but he didn't stop. “Oh gosh, what have I done? I shouldn't have said anything to him. Now it seems the matter is only going to get worse. I just hope it won't turn into a fight between them?” Annabelle muttered to herself.Meanwhile, Travis was at his mom's residence, thinking of how everything turned out the previous day and how he could make things better to accomplish his goal. He didn't know that Henry was on his way to confront him.As Henry arrived at the smith's residence, he angrily pressed the doorbell. Seconds later Travis's mother opened the door. “Good morning. What brought you here e ”she asked softly.“ Where's Travis? Tell him to come out” Henry barked.“Hey! You are at my house. How dare you raise your voice at me? Travis's mother barked back.“ What's going on here?” Travis came out of the house to see whom his mother was arguing with.On seeing T

Chapter 20Annabelle's Pov“The Smith's house! Doing what there? His voice thundered. “So what brought about the injuries on Henry?” he asked angrily looking at me.I took a deep breath and summoned courage, “Travis came to my house yesterday, I told Henry about it so he went to confront Travis. I tried stopping Henry from going there but he insisted that he would confront Travis.My dad became more furious, “That bastard! He's real trouble, I warned him to stay away from you and I have also told you to avoid him at all cost. Now he has not only hurt you but also hurt Henry too”.Henry stepped forward “Sir, he's not just a problem to Annabelle but to everyone around him, so we need to look for a way to put him in his place”.My father kept calm for a while then reassured him that he won't let Travis hurt us ever again.I tried telling my father that, he should first think of everything calmly before taking any step.My father just looked away and said that he would handle things in hi

Chapter 21Annabelle's Pov“Good morning, Henry, I said trying to sound happy. “I brought a bottle of wine to apologize for my yesterday's behavior towards you”.Henry raised his head, shocked to see me, then smiled “Oh, Annabelle, good morning, what are you doing at the door come on in”.I moved closer, feeling a bit uncomfortable. “I'm sorry for blaming you yesterday, I know you were just trying to help,” I said apologetically, holding out the bottle of wine. He gave me a wild smile and collected it from my hand, with his eyes shining with appreciation.I was a bit relieved when I saw his happy reaction but still worried about whom the lady was.Henry saw my unusual reaction, then decided to introduce her, “She's Sophia, our new marketing director” turning to Sophia “This is Annabelle, the CEO’s daughter”.I felt a wave of relief over me “Oh Sophia, it's nice to meet you” I said stretching my hand for a handshake.“Nice to meet you too, Henry has told me a lot about, you,” she said

Chapter 22Travis's Pov“I have messed up everything. How can I ever get Annabelle back with all that has happened” I said to myself. out of frustration I carried a glass cup and smashed it to the floor.“What's that?!” my mother rushed out of her room.“I'm just frustrated, mum. What do you think I can do now? I'm a mess.“Just try to relax” my mum trying to calm me down.“Annabelle's father has threatened me never to ever get close to his daughter again. Well,l I know that I kind of overreacted yesterday but I wasn't at fault. I couldn't hold my anger anymore when Henry was holding my collar ”I said carrying one of the pieces of glass and squeezing it in my palm.“Stop that” my mother hit my palm so hard that the piece of glass fell off.“Now, you are bleeding. Wait here let me get the first aid box” my mother said going to her room to get it.“Annabelle is a good person. The years we spent together I was so blind to see how she was so good and well mannered. Her mistake was to fal

Chapter 23Author's povTravis was shocked to see his daughter Norah.“Daddy! You are back” She jumped on her father excitedly and Travis carried her to his chest.“Norah, so you were awake?” Travis asked.“Hmmm I just woke up after the loud noise I heard” she replied.“I'm sorry sweetheart, Daddy was the one that disturbed your sleep” Travis gave her a soft kiss on her cheeks. “ How have you been”.“I have been lonely,” she said looking down.“Why? But your mom has been here with you, isn't it?” Travis asked.“Yes, but she's always busy. You are the only one that used to keep me company” she replied.Her words were melting Travis's heart, and Travis started to feel sorry for his daughter. Travis hugged Norah to make her feel happy.“So Dad” Norah continues, “where have you been? Didn't you ever think about mummy and me?” Norah asked sadly.“I have been busy with work, it hasn't been easy for me. That's why I was away for a while” Travis managed to answer.Travis moved to the sitting

Chapter 24Annabelle's PovI was so scared because I didn't understand why he was behaving that way.“This is the first time you are in my home and it's already late, just spent the night” Henry requested persuasively.Suddenly the lights came on, “thank goodness” I said excitedly. I released myself from Henry and told him I still wanted to go home anyway. He didn't like my response but he allowed me to go.I carried my bag and ran out of the house because it was really when I was already in my car Henry came to the door and waved at me as I drove out of his compound.I drove as fast as I could, so that I would get home not Soo late.About an hour later I got home. “Finally,” I said to myself because I was relieved.I came out of my car and took out my house keys because I didn't want to disturb anyone.I got closer to the door, took a deep breath and unlocked the door. The house was so dark, so I had to turn on my phone's light. I walked in and closed the door behind me and locked i

Chapter 25Annabelle's povAs I got back to my office, I was wondering what Sophia could be looking for in Henry's office which made her disorganize the office.Moments later I continued with my work.When it was lunch break my dad walked into the office and we exchanged pleasantries.He asked me what I was doing and I told him the projects am working on and the progress I have made.He cracked some jokes and laughed. Minutes later I told him that I had a lot to do and he told me I needed energy to be able to work effectively so I needed to eat.“I want to finish all of these projects, Dad,” I said.“But you need rest and strength to work well” he replied.As I refused to stop work my father held my hands and tried pulling me up.“Alright Dad let me round up,” I said to him. He left my hands and allowed me to round up and as soon as I was done. I kept my things in order and we left the office.We went out of the company and walked straight to the eatery opposite the company.When we
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 26
Chapter 26Annabelle's PovI told Henry that one of the papers seemed to be missing and he told me that it might have mixed up with others because they just rushed to pick them up without sorting.I took a deep breath and just prayed that it was soon. Henry assured me that he'd later go through them and arrange them well and definitely, the missing paper would be ok.I just decided to calm down and not overthink things. Maybe I was just overreacting because she was new.I then asked about his health and he said he was feeling better and that he was happy with my decision to leave his place late at night, that it was dangerous to move around at such a time most especially as I was a woman. He asked if I wasn't comfortable with him or if I was scared of him.“Henry, I had to go home. You know my boy and the nanny would have been so worried because I didn't inform them that I would be late” I replied.I told him that I caught the marketing director scattering his office as though she w

Epilogue Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Six Annabelle_ Months after the nightmare I had with Henry. I woke up in my new home with the perfect peace of mind I had always wanted. My life was in a better shape and even though It wasn't perfect, I was living the future I had always dreamed and hoped for. I stood in front of the large windows in the parlor, looked out of it and took a very deep breath. “Come back here! If I catch you, I will eat all your candy.” “You won't catch me then!” Johnson was running after Norah. It was not going to be my first time experiencing such as they have both been best of friends since we all moved in together. “I've told you two. No running around.” I said and shook my head. Travis was the one handling the major companies owned by my dad. He and my dad had become very close following the incident with Henry. Travis held his suitcase, walked down the stairs of our new home and said, “Anna, do you know where my car keys are? I couldn't find them
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter One Hundred and Sixty five
Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Five Annabelle_ The tunnel led to one of the trees in the compound. I walked out of it and snuck to the back of the several police vans that were parked in the compound. I was on the lookout for Alex because I wasn't sure of who to trust. I saw Henry and hid behind the car. I couldn't afford him to see me and then come up with another lie that he wasn't the one behind my kidnap. Someone touched me from behind and I lost my breath for a while. I turned back slowly towards the person and found that it was Alex. I took a deep breath of relief and hugged him. “What happened?” He asked, concerned. I was still trying to get my breath, when he yelled, “Medics, medics.” And the whole attention drifted towards us. Immediately, I could see them putting handcuffs on his hands and leading him into the car like the criminal that he was. “Travis, Travis is badly injured. He has lost a lot of blood.” Those were the first words I said to Henry so they could go a

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Four Annabelle _Henry went out of the basement he kept us in. He went out through a different door this time. I saw him but I was not fully conscious.I didn't know what to do to get us out of his place but I knew that if we did not try to get help from the cops or whoever was around, things would get worse for us all and Travis could die.“Travis,” I called out to Travis who lay in his blood on the floor with his eyes swollen. I wasn't even sure if he was still alive. “Travis, can you hear me? Travis!” I yelled. I couldn't afford his death.“Yes, I can hear you.” He said in a very low voice. I knew he was losing a lot of blood and he was in severe pain.“Can you loosen me? I know it's hard for you to get up but if you can try, it would help us out. We can't stay here. Now is our time to get out of this house because I can hear people walking back and forth in his house. I'm sure they are looking for us.” I said to him to encourage him to get up. Travi
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Three
Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-ThreeAnnabelle_All I saw was the blood of Travis spilling on the floor like someone had made an incision on a bottle.I picked a cloth that I saw in the room and used it to tie around his arm. I was very displeased with Henry as he stood and watched me take care of Travis' hands unremorsefully.“What has gotten into you? Why are you doing all this?” I asked with so much pain in my heart. I couldn't understand how Henry became the way he was all of a sudden.“Get back to your seat and tie yourself at this moment, Annabelle.” He yelled at me. “You should not have pushed me to the wall all these years. You are the reason why I'm like this. Yes, it's all your fault.”Travis tried to help himself up from the chair I sat him on so that I could help him with his hand and reduce his bleeding. The cloth I had used to tie his hand was filled in no time and I could see that Travis was losing a lot of blood at that time.“Let's take him to the hospital. You know he

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Two Travis_I broke into the house through Henry's kitchen window after I was sure he had gone out of the kitchen.I walked to the slap where knives were kept and I picked one very sharp one.“This should do a good job,” I said and hid the knife behind my back.“What you don't understand is, I'd catch a grenade for ya!” I could hear Travis as he sang in his voice to the song he played out. I used that opportunity to search around the room for any sign of Annabelle and Johnson.“Annabelle! Annabelle!” I whispered as I entered every part of the room downstairs.Then while walking on the corridor, I walked on a part of the floor that felt like something was beneath it.I went back to look at the stairs to be sure I could still hear Travis playing his song, which he was before I went down to check what it was.“This very strange man. Heaven knows where he kept Annabelle.” I tried to open the thing but I couldn't get how it was being handled. It had a complex
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter One Hundred and Sixty One
Chapter One Hundred and Sixty OneTravis_I received a call from an unknown number. It was very late at night. I had thought it was probably Annabelle because I had been expecting her to call me but I did not receive any calls from her.When I saw that it was unknown, I did not take the call because I was still hurting from the fact that Henry was playing the hero when he did not help to find Johnson at all from the onset. “He's my son. She's supposed to allow me to come along irrespective of what Henry was going to say or do. Don't I deserve to see him too?” I said to myself inwardly.Norah had slept off on my leg. We sat together in the parlor watching a movie.My phone kept ringing and ringing so I became forced to pick up the call. I did not say anything after picking up the call.“Can you hear me?” The person whispered and it made me curious. I placed Norah's head properly on the chair and stood up to receive the call in a place where she would not be disturbed.“Who is this?” I

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Annabelle_ I was scared that Henry might hurt me so I began to yell at him before he got closer to me, “Henry, what is wrong with you? Do not try anything funny. I'm warning you. You know how this will end. It will surely end badly for both of us. Just let me leave peacefully.” “You are not leaving through that door. Not today and not until you sign the wedding document.” He said and got closer to me. He pulled me with force to himself and began to kiss my body against my will. “Get off me! Get off!” He disgusted me but he held me so strong. It was very hard for me to move my body away from him. It was as though he wasn't the same Henry I had known. “Stop it, now!” I continued to shout at him but he would not let me go. I stretched my hand to reach the vase that was used to decorate his parlor. I was able to reach it and I slammed it on his head with all the force I had. I didn't know what to do next and he did not give me any option. All that was

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty NineAnnabelle_Brooklyn and I got to Henry's place very late at night. We had to drive for a long time for us to get to Henry's place. “Why does it look as if Henry is not around?” We were able to get into the house because the gate was not locked. “It's very strange that Henry's gate is open. He never opens his gate.” I said to Brooklyn who was driving the car.“Just be patient. It's late already and he was expecting you. So why wouldn't he leave his gate open?” I knew Brooklyn was tired of hearing all my complaints.“I don't feel good about this honestly. Something is wrong somewhere.” I said to Brooklyn, “Don't drive to the front of the building itself. Park around here.” Henry's compound had some gardens and big trees that one would go through before one would get to his house. I just wasn't comfortable with the way I felt.She sighed but did as I said.“I'd go in by myself alone. You should stay in the car in case anything bad happens.”Brooklyn ga

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty EightAnnabelle_Travis drove us into a very nice apartment that he said belonged to Samantha. It was a more beautiful apartment than the one that he lived in. “This apartment is nice. You guys could have lived here instead of where you're presently living though.” Brooklyn said. I was surprised she said that out loud so I turned to look at her.Travis smiled and said, “Well, Samantha loves her things to be perfectly the way she likes them. She fixed it several times, that's why it looks as good as this.” We got out of the vehicle and we could tell that Johnson was not in that building because everything there was so calm but we walked into it irrespective of how the environment felt, leaving Brooklyn and Norah alone in the car.Travis unlocked the door and led me into the room. “I don't think anyone is here at the moment but we can search the apartment to see if there might be any lead in the house,” Travis said to me as he walked into the living room
