Chapter 28 Annabelle's Pov I was so scared so I held the person so tight. “Mummy, are you alright?” Henry asked as I opened my eyes to see that it was Henry that caught me. I froze as soon as I set my eyes on Henry. “Henry what are you doing here” I asked shocked. “I was bored at home so I decided to come get something” Henry answered Jackson and I thanked Henry was saving me as I released myself from his arms. He climbed the ladder and helped Jackson get the toy car. I smiled. Jackson was so happy and hugged him tightly. Jackson collected the toy car from Henry and kept it in our trolley. Henry walked to where he dropped his basket that he was using for shopping, I was staring at him in amusement. Henry told me he was done shopping and asked if I was done and I told him I was. I called the nanny and asked if she was done, she said she was so I told her that we should meet at the checkout area and I ended the call. Jackson collected Henry's basket and saw he wanted to s
Chapter 29 Annabelle's POV “Henry? What are you doing here” I asked in confusion, my brows knitted together. “Oh, Annabelle you're here!” Henry said as he turned to my direction. We greeted each other and he asked why I was so surprised to see him in his office. “I'm quite surprised because you never told me you were going to resume work today,” I said putting my hair to the back of my ear. “Well, I just wanted to surprise you. I'm Sorry if feel bad about that” Henry replied in a calm voice. I told him I wasn't angry and we shared a smile. “So, what of Sophia? I asked with curiosity. Before Henry could answer he was interrupted, “I'm here, good morning” We turned to see who it was. It was Sophia walking through the door. “Sorry am a bit late” she apologized. Henry wasn't angry, he just told her to try not to come late. And she nodded her head. She looked at the messed up floor with papers and files lying around and she offered to arrange them. As She bent to start picking
Chapter Thirty. Annabelle pov “We need to get it—-” I didn't complete my words as my eyes diverted to Jackson who entered into the office.

Chapter Thirty-one. Annabelle POV I got out of the bathroom, dried my hair and picked out an outfit for the day. I selected a royal blue and a touch of black jumpsuit with a black neck scarf, I sat in front of the dresser to fix my face and my hair and when I was done I slid into my dress, sprayed some cologne, wore my wrist watch, picked out a black and silver heels and a blue designer bag then climbed down the stairs. I got to the dinning hall, Jackson was still eating and I had no idea how urgent the meeting with Henry is so I didn't want to waste much time in the house as I kissed his forehead and bid him goodbye. “Baby, mommy gotta go.” I said. “Aww, why? You didn't even have your breakfast.” He said as he clutch on to his spoon like a rebellious little baby. “I have adult work to do and it's very urgent…you know I told you to always be hardworking? Now, it's Mommy's time to be.” I added them kissed both of his cheeks. “Okay mommy…you're the best, bye!!” He said as he hugg
Annabelle's POVThe sudden creaking sound of the door got me flinching hard as I shifted my gaze to the door. The moment my eyes came in contact with Travis, I felt a surge of relief ripple through me.God! The last time I set my eyes on my husband was two days ago when he came back from work, looking so haggard and wasted. And that'd been the same day the billionaire daughter, Samantha Harris returned to the city after so many years.Just when I thought there could be hope to rebuild my marriage with Travis, she came back. And since then, he was barely at home."Travis!" I exclaimed as I ran to give him a hug. "Where have you been?"The question was useless. A part of me already knew where he had been.When he didn't say anything, I withdrew my arms around and jerked my head to look at his face. His dark eyes lingered on me for a split second, I thought he was going to kiss or probably tell me he was sorry.However, he averted his gaze from my face and brushed past me without a word.
Annabelle's POV "Crying like a loser, are you?" The lady said in derision. She was none other than Samantha. My husband's pesky ex. Blinking hard, I wiped my eyes not letting her see another tears of mine. "I figure you are done speaking, now can you get out of my way?" "Oh, not so fast." A vicious voice came behind me and I instantly recognized it. My blood ran cold as I turned to meet the vile faces of the devils who had made my life hell – my father in-law, mother-Inlaw and Travis grandmother as well. "I just want to let you know that if you dare step into this house ever again, I'll ruin your life. Do you understand me?" Travis's father, Mr Fred grunted and all I did was nod. "You don't have to worry about me, because I regret ever meeting your son!" I gritted my teeth. "No sweetheart, It's us who regret letting you marry our son and become nothing other than a liability to us!!!" Mrs. Aurelia, Travis mother flared up and a scoff escaped my lips. Liability?! this peop
Annabelle’s povAs usual, he had his Prussian suit on and a handful of burly-looking bodyguards were behind him, looking like they were about to tear me apart soon.I managed a smile. "Uhm-- dad, I was just-----"His eyes darkened. "Dad? I don't know this lady from anywhere. Guards!"Five able bodied men surrounded me at once."Throw this lady out of the building!" He ordered in a clear voice.I fell on my knees with a loud thud, tears already streaming down my eyes. “I know how much you hate me dad but please don't throw me away. I'm so sorry for not listening to you back then and I regret it now. But if you would just give me the chance to prove myself to you, I will do anything!""What are you still waiting for? Throw her out!" He yelled at the bodyguards, his eyes burning with rage.A vague reminder of his face that same day he asked me never to show my face ever again, if I decide to marry the stranger I just met - Travis smith."Sir Robert, please be lenient."

Annabelle's POV I felt like someone had shot a bullet straight at my heart. It was either I misheard or the doctor was joking. "Firstly, I'm now Miss Anabelle Spencer." I corrected with a scoff, "Lastly, you've got to be kidding me. There's no way I'm pregnant." The doctor smiled. "Really? But that would mean you are about to rewrite history because your test result shows here," he handed me a paper, "that you're pregnant!" My heart sank as I scanned through the test results. I really was pregnant and it was very obvious who the father was. Travis Smith – my now Ex-husband. No! There has to be another way! This can't be happening! I can't be pregnant for the monster who discarded me like trash. Just when everything was finally playing out beautifully for me, his bastard self was back again in the form of a child to ruin everything. Of all things, a child! "I want it out" I said in a calm voice and the doctor frowned. "Pardon?" "You heard me doctor, I want an abortion." "Says
