All Chapters of How to Keep a Husband: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Nathan's POVI stared at the divorce papers infront of me. I hadn't signed them yet. Annette's lawyer contacted me but I didn't make any effort to reply. How could I?The night of the party when Annette confronted me, I knew that I fucked up really bad.I realized that she knew what I was doing all along.I met Evie around 6 months ago and kind of hit it off. She was beautiful, intelligent, bold, sweet and different. She made my life exciting. The way she dressed and the way she talked. She had me mesmerized.I spent the nights with her and sometimes I didn't even go to work because we slept in late.But in the back of my mind there was always Annette. She was my first real love. She was the first girl I truly cared about and nothing could change that.I felt so guilty about cheating on her and I wish I could go back in time and change things. I don't know why I did it.Evie made me feel something new and exciting but with Annette there was this comfort and coziness. Annette was my ho

Today was my first day of work and I woke up early just for the sole purpose of vomiting. Yup, lucky me!As I sat in the bathroom, it suddenly hit me. I could be fucking pregnant. Why didn't I realise sooner?Oh my gosh!I suddenly threw up again and I felt myself start to panic. This can't be happening. Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely love this child but the issue is Nathan.I don't even know if I'm pregnant yet. Ugh!I showered and got ready for the day.I had milk and cereal for breakfast and then I left for work. Before I arrived I bought a pregnancy test. Actually two for good measure."Good morning Miss Parker. Almost didn't notice you because of the hair." Mr. Hinds said."Good morning Mr. Hinds.""Please call me Derek." He said and I nodded."You can call me Annette.""Great! You'll be working with our head doctor. Follow me."We went down the hall and into a room."This is Damien Sylvester he's the head doctor at our hospital. Damien, this is Annette Parker, she's the

The aroma of food awoke me from my sleep. Something smelled really good!My eyes fluttered open and I got out of bed.Walking into the kitchen, I met Alex making breakfast."Good morning Annie." He smiled."Good morning. I would have made breakfast for us." I said and he shook his head."It's time you try my culinary skills. I'm the best chef in the world." He winked and I playfully rolled my eyes."We'll see about that."He placed a tray infront of me and my mouth immediately watered. There was a ham sandwich and damn it looked so good. There was also a fruit bowl and a glass of grapefruit juice.I dug into the meal and I wasn't disappointed. It was absolutely delicious."This is so good Alex. You're my new personal chef." I said and he chuckled."I'm glad you like it. Told you I was the best.""Oh, don't flatter yourself.""Did you finish the fruit bowl?" He asked and I shook my head."I don't like bananas.""The baby needs nutrients from what you consume. So would you please eat th

It's been two weeks since the incident occurred and I went back to work. There weren't any threats since. Nor did anyone approach me. Alex was leaving in two days. I was scared to see him go but he had to return to work. He told me he would visit in a couple of weeks.I placed my bag down and walked inside the living room. It was 3:06 pm. What a day at work!"Alex. I'm home." I took off my shoes and placed them on the stand."Alex?" I called as I walked into the bedroom.Oh, he probably went out.As I walked out of the room someone grabbed me by the neck and slammed me against the wall.The man wore a black mask over his face so I couldn't see who it was.One of his hands was wrapped around my neck as he choked me."End of the line." He snarled.I tried to pry his hand away but he didn't budge. The man dipped into his pocket and revealed a gun. You've got to be fucking joking. Tears brimmed in my eyes. So this is it for me? I placed my hand on my stomach.I'm sorry little one.Sudden

"Annette." Was all he said as he stared at me."It's you." He took a step forward and I took a step back."You look so beautiful. You have no idea how much I missed you.""Nathan, what a surprise!" Candace said as she walked outside."Hey Mom, I was just passing through to collect some stuff from the basement.""Oh I see, come in then."Nathan walked past me, our eyes locked as he went inside.I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe him! The fucking audacity to say he missed me. I still couldn't look at him the same, not after the way he treated me.I closed the door and went upstairs. Why did he of all people have to show up?Then I got a text message from an unknown number.It was just a smiley face and the text that followed stated:"Be careful."What the fuck? Who the hell is doing this shit? I bet it's the same person from New York. But I left so there shouldn't be a problem.I went out on the balcony and took some fresh air. I calmed my mind and allowed myself to relax. This i
