My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter Fifty-six.
Chapter Fifty-six. Annabelle pov My heart kept telling me I did everything the wrong way but my father had insisted that the engagement must take place else he would disown me. It was the first time I ever saw my father so stern in deciding my life. I just had to adhere to it. “Annabelle, you've not spoken to me well nor acted like I've been present since the engagement. I feel like you have intentionally occupied yourself with tasks from work just to avoid having any conversation with me. Please, don't leave me in the dark. Tell me what you are thinking.” Henry attacked me with those words as I entered his office to discuss a deal we needed to close with a company. He knew that was a better time to ask me because I never spoke to him about our personal lives since the engagement. Everything had been about work. I never showed up for any arrangement he made for us to spend time together. What I did earlier today must have hurt him more because he sent me a message last night

Chapter Fifty- seven. Annabelle pov He poured me a drink and I smiled. He knew how to get to me. I sipped the wine a little. “Oh my, what brand of wine is this? It's so nice.” I just had to acknowledge that aloud. He laughed. “I knew you would love it right…” He said and walked closer to me. “I told them to get me a rare and very good red wine. This kind, you can not find in a mere store.” I gulped down the rest of what I had and poured more into my bottle. Soon we sat on the floor in my office and we began talking about things that bothered us and what we felt was wrong. “I do not want to be engaged as much as I know that you are probably the best match for me,” I said, with the internal frustration I had been hiding, fully displayed on my face as he sat in front of me. “But why? Do I not show you enough love? What does Travis do to you that makes him more special to you than I?” He asked me genuinely, in a low tone and greased my left hand. I knew he wished there was some
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter Fifty-eight.
Chapter Fifty-eight. Annabelle pov We arrived at his beautiful apartment and I must say I had forgotten about most of the confusion and hurt I felt within me as we walked hand in hand into the house. I just lived in the moment. “I have a great idea for us tonight. I hope you're not so tired yet?” He rubbed his palms together. His excitement was palpable. “So, you will go upstairs and freshen up. I have a soft gown in my wardrobe that I got for you days ago. I want you to wear it. Please, I need you to feel your best tonight.” I smiled and nodded. I wasn't going to say something that could probably ruin his joy. I wondered how long he had been waiting for me to visit him. Impressed by his actions, “Well, I'm not sure you would get my size but I'm happy you thought to get me a dress.” I said and made my way up the stairs. I haven't felt that much love being poured into me in a while. Henry seemed like my father made a good choice after all. I don't know why I felt confused and co
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter Fifty- nine
Chapter Fifty- nine Annabelle pov He was about to remove my dress when I cut in abruptly. “I do not think I want to do this.” I removed his hand from my body and walked away from him to sit on the sofa in the parlor. I could not hide or pretend that was what I wanted. Henry was hurt as he stood where I left him for a while. I turned back to look at him and found him looking like he was close to tears. He was frustrated. I'm sure he felt like he failed at every attempt to win me over and that made him sad. I couldn't stand looking at him, so I stood up and went back to him. “I'm sorry. I am sorry for treating you in such a manner. It's just that…” He walked away from me without letting me finish. He had had enough of me that night. He made his way up the stairs and locked himself in another room. I followed after him. “Henry, I'm sorry. Please let us talk.” “We have nothing to talk about. Just enjoy your night. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day for both of us at work. You sho
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter Sixty
Chapter Sixty Travis pov It was supposed to be a beautiful day. I had just left the hospital that morning after spending the night beside Samantha, watching over her. The doctor said she was getting better faster. I could tell because she could recognize some things and some people. I helped her by showing her pictures of our daughter, Noah, and she was able to recognize her. The doctor had told me that if she was reminded of people or moments that mattered most to her, she was going to remember things faster and using that approach had been helpful. I got out of the hospital and approached my car when I received a call from the manager of the second biggest company, which my family and I had developed over the years and worked tirelessly to build. “Help! Help! Help!” Wilson yelled so loud that I had to remove the phone far from my ear to be able to listen to him. “What is the matter?” Frightened, I asked and stood looking at my car to understand what could make a grown man sh
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter Sixty-one
Chapter Sixty-one Travis pov “Alex, I do not like how quiet you have become. I need you to explain all that is going on with me.” Alex sighed severally before he could get himself to tell me what was going on. “According to the one security that was able to escape, he said, when he got to work earlier in the morning. It looked like the gate was breached. But he felt the security men who did the night shift would have realized if it truly was. Then he went in.” He took a pause and I had to ask him again. “Okay…? What happened next?” Alex talked slower than he normally does and I became anxious about whatever he had to say which I did not like. “Look, just take things easy, okay? We will find whoever has a hand in this. I promise you.” Alex delayed having to tell me what was truly going on and I soon ran out of patience. “Alex, I need you to tell me what happened here now. You have wasted enough of my time and I do not appreciate it.” I became stern. “Okay. The security man me
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter 62
Chapter Sixty -two Annabelle pov Henry called me to his office. We were supposed to have a meeting with our main investors so we could strategize on expanding our company's reach. “Do you know that…” I was about to say when I noticed how he quickly turned off the television then I walked in with a questioning gaze. He cleared his throat. “We should get going now. We don't want to keep the investors waiting.” He stood up and packed his file. “Why are you acting all weird? What were you watching?” I wanted him to know I saw what he did so I questioned him. “Annabelle, it's nothing.” He responded and walked past me. “Are you not coming?” I shrugged, “Okay though. I'm coming.” I followed after him and we walked to the conference room. The investors were all seated while we entered. They stood up, all at once to acknowledge us as we approached them. I always like it when they do that because many of them are older and it gives me a sense of honor as a woman. “Good morning everyo
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter Sixty- three
Chapter Sixty- three Annabelle pov I hung up the call with Alex because Henry found it hard to let me be. “Let's go.” Henry held my hand and insisted I follow him to his office because he did not want the Investors to see me looking the way I did. “Please just let me be. I'm trying to think.” I had several thoughts on how Travis must be doing and I was frustrated that even after speaking to Alex, I wasn't able to get the vital information I needed to find Travis. “That doesn't matter. You can think in my office, rather than here, where people can find you at any time. No. You will follow me to my office.” Henry insisted. I was tired of how tenacious he was so I gave in. I followed him to his office while I kept my thoughts on Travis and his problem. I just couldn't think of who would have done something like that to him and what more they would do to him. I became scared on his behalf, the more I thought. We got into his office and he locked the door behind us. Though anyone

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
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Two
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
