My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter Eighty
Chapter Eighty Annabelle_ I didn't mean all I said to him but I had to let it out that way. How dare he try to frame Henry? Henry is one person I know who barely thought of evil things happening to people. I would never accept that from Travis. That was a wrong thing to say or try to insinuate. “Okay. I'm sorry I gravitated towards that. I did not realize this is how things had become.” I was not having the conversation anymore. “Well, I think we've sorted out whatever this call was supposed to be about. I have to go now.” “Okay.” His response was low but clear. I knew he was not done speaking but I was no more interested in hearing him speak again. I think Brook has been telling the truth. “Don't be anno…” I ended the call before he finished his sentence. I was angry. I looked at the envelope on my table and got angrier. I ripped the envelope apart to see what was inside. It felt like a folded letter but it was a picture. A picture of Henry amid soldiers. I never knew Hen
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter Eighty -one
Chapter Eighty -one Annabelle _ Everywhere seemed so loud. Glass cups were clattering here and there, men laughing, and several prestigious people were gathered at my dad's home. I would have preferred he threw the party somewhere else. “Annabelle, you're late,” Prisca yelled from afar to me as I walked into the sitting room. “Ohh, shit. She? What's she doing here m” I grumbled in my mind but wore a smile as she approached me. “You've always been late to parties since I ever knew you. It's more like you don't like gatherings but you're always forced to attend anyway.” She kept talking to me and I was not interested in hearing whatever it was she had to say but yet again, I just had to listen with a smile, using my eyes to scan for my father. Finally, I saw him. Talking to one of the wealthiest men in the country, Sir Mackenzie. “Excuse me for a minute,” I walked out on her without waiting for a response and walked to my father, joining the conversation he was having with Sir
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter Eighty -two
Chapter Eighty -two Annabelle_ “Where are you heading to?” Henry asked me as though he would love to accompany me. “I just need to address something. I'd be back.” I turned away from him in haste and went down the stairs. Before I got down, I slowed the pace I used to walk so that I wouldn't attract unnecessary attention to myself. I scanned around for Travis before walking towards the crowd after I saw where he was. He was speaking to someone so I had to talk with the person too so I could have access to him. “Good evening sirs. I see we are having a good time. May I join your conversation?” It seemed as though the man knew who I was because he was quick to give me an audience. “Sure! If we are looking for someone with more authority to speak tonight, it's you.” I smiled. “Thank you.” Travis looked at me with a little grin. “You look beautiful tonight.” It was as though he scanned me with his eyes before saying his word. “Thank you.” I smiled. The man seemed to underst
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter Eighty -three
Chapter Eighty -three Annabelle_ After my short speech. I was looking at Henry who stood in front of me while I spoke with a very proud look. I expected my dad to introduce him next after me and I think he expected that as well. I got down and went to stand by Henry, after shaking everyone that was standing around where I passed to stand beside Henry. Henry leaned in on me. “You spoke so well.” He whispered. I wiggled. “Now to my ever-excellent son-in-law-to-be.” I didn't like that phrase. I enforced a fake smile because everyone began looking at the two of us. I looked at the other end of the room and sat Travis looking with a painful smile. He smiled and nodded his head. Then he walked away from where he stood like he was about to leave. My father praised Henry as expected and he also gained more influence after that. “Now great men and women, we can all sit and enjoy our meal.” They all clapped as my father left the center of the floor. I was eating on a long table speci
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter Eighty-four
Chapter Eighty-four Annabelle_ I walked in with a forced smile on my face. “Annabelle, I've been looking for you.” My dad called out to me as I approached the table smiling. I did not say anything, I just smiled and took my seat. Henry walked to the other side of the table and sat beside Prisca. My dad cracked several jokes all through the meal. From politics to family and back to politics. The night was a successful one for him and I was happy. I had even forgotten Travis was there that evening. I wore a smile against my will as I had to be my dad's right hand while he greeted everyone before they left. After the most prestigious people had gone, I went upstairs to my room and called it a night for me. I did not plan to go down the stairs again. “Why are you here? Aren't you coming for the after-party?” She walked into the room and met me wrapped in bed. I had taken off my jewelry and the dress. I was ready to sleep. I did not change my position while she approached me. I sta
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter Eighty-five
Chapter Eighty-five Annabelle_ I felt I had had enough. It was then I realized that people think I'm a better person now because Henry must have been guiding me to do right. “Do you think I do not stand on my own?” The tension in the room was high and Brook kept trying to calm me by rubbing my thigh. I shrugged her hand off most of the time to keep saying whatever it was I had in mind to say. Moments later, my father looked at me and said, “I thought you've grown up. I don't think so.” He stood up and left the table. I threw my cutlery on the plate with force. Brook leaned into me, she was about to say something when I stood up and left the dining table. “I will not take any form of insult again! I'm an entity, I'm an adult.” I kept on talking to myself angrily as I packed up my bag. Brook sauntered into the room and met me packing my bags. “Annabelle, what are you doing? You know how your dad can be, you don't have to be angry. He didn't mean his words in a bad way.” “Yo
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter Eighty-six
Chapter Eighty-six Travis_ I couldn't get Annabelle off my mind till I got home. I knew getting her back would be harder especially because Samantha is now back. I could not understand Samantha either. She has been cold since she got back. Just while I was sitting in my study thinking, she walked in and began questioning me. “What have you been doing about the building that got burnt or aren’t you going to do anything about it?” I was happy she took interest in it because since she got back she had just neglected me and she seemed to be angry all the time. “Come and sit, let me show you what I've been up to.” I felt things might get better if I showed her what I've been up to with the new project and it would help us talk better. She came and sat beside me, though she left a little bit of space. I opened my laptop and several files showing her the projects I've been working on as well as the project plan and the income it will generate. “I see. So you are the owner of this ri
My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back Chapter Eighty-seven
Chapter Eighty-seven Annabelle_ I held Johnson as he cried while Brooklyn was driven out of my house. Nana, I and Johnson stood in front of the door and watched her leave. It felt like a part of us was going away. I knew it hurt Johnson more because she was always around with him whenever I missed the nights he and I were supposed to spend together. I had never seen him cry for anything or anyone. He was always a strong boy. “Mum, why does she have to go? Why are you not stopping her?” I bent down to look at him in the face, “She has to find her place. She's an adult. We will see her again. She will come to visit. You can also go and visit her whenever you want.” “No, Mum!” He yelled and ran off into the house. I stood up and looked at Nana. She just stood still staring at me. “Can you please help me explain this to him?” I don't know but Nana gets him better. She nodded and went after him. I was also hurt that Brook had gone. I didn't realize how much space she filled in

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