How to Keep a Husband Chapter 13
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

I still couldn't believe that happened. Evie was pregnant. We're pregnant at the same time. Unbelievable!Nathan is a fucking roach! How could he do this? But then again nothing surprises me anymore.I told Paige to shut up and not tell anyone and I mean not a single soul. She said that her lips were sealed.I don't know when I will be telling Nathan about this baby. Quite frankly, I don't want him to be part of this baby's life. He could fuck off.But that wouldn't be right.Ughhh why did this asshole have to cheat?I'd worry about the Nathan issue some other time.I got ready and went to work. There I met Damien talking to another female doctor. She leaned in and kissed his cheek. Ofcourse that made me feel a certain type of way but he wasn't mine and I wasn't his.I went to my desk and took a deep breath. I would be okay.The day passed by in a blur and before I knew it I was sitting at home on the balcony staring at the city.Never in a million years I would imagine that I would b

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

The man held me in place. A chill went up my spine as I felt a cold metal press against my back.I was pushed into a room and I collapsed on the floor.My heart was racing. I was terrified.He held me to the ground and I couldn't move."Please let me go." I whimpered."Shut up bitch!" The man yelled in an arrogant tone. His voice had a slight rasp.He tied my hands together and placed a blindfold around my eyes."W-What do you want?" I sobbed.He yanked my hair and pulled me up from the floor."Shut the fuck up!" I felt a stinging sensation on my cheek. This fucker slapped me!Then I felt something cover my mouth. He taped my mouth shut.He pushed me forward and I heard a door open."Walk, bitch." He ordered and I took a step forward."Look at you, so defenseless and pathetic. I have you at my mercy. I could do anything I want to you." He whispered in my ear.My back hit a wooden board. Oh no!This can't be happening. Please tell me he's not putting me in a cabinet. I didn't like tight

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

"We barely got to hang out and you're leaving so soon." Vixy sighed."I know but things have been so difficult.""Yeah I can't believe that someone is trying to kill you, that's fucking nuts.""And I didn't even do anything." I frowned."That's just how fucked up people are. They have no chill. When will you be back though?""I'm not sure yet.""You know where to holla at me when you get back. We've gotta hang out.""Yeah definitely.""Here, I made cookies and packed some for ya. Be sure to have a safe flight and take care.""Thanks Vixy."

When she saw me she ended the call and walked over."Hey Annette, how have you been?""I've been good. How are you?""Oh I've been great. Damien is taking me out for dinner tonight. We're dating."

"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.

We sat down at the table staring at the mask and the rope.Suddenly, Alex got up and held the ski mask. He carefully observed it and then he pulled a strand of hair from it. One strand of light brown hair."Hand me a napkin, will you?" He asked and I nodded. I went to the kitchen and brought him a napkin.He gently placed the hair in the napkin and wrapped it."I'll send this to my friends in New York. They can get a match. They'll be sure to investigate it. It's a start. I'll also trace where the text is coming from. No pressure.""If you want I can send my hair sample if-"There isn't a strand of light brown hair on your head." I chuckled and he cracked a smile."But that doesn't mean that I didn't plan the entire thing and had someone do the dirty work for me.""I don't think you'd be this sloppy Mr. Detective. You'd have gotten rid of the evidence." "I just want you to see that I'm not guilty.""I knew that you wouldn't do something like that Alex. You're not the type of person.
