How to Keep a Husband Chapter 32
Annette's POVWe both sat next to each other, evident looks of surprise."I can't believe what I'm seeing," I sighed."Annie, it took me a long time to process.""Wait, what?""I've known for a while now.""Girl, you gotta be joking. You know I'm your sister but you fucked Nathan.""I was jealous. Before my mom disappeared on me. She told me I had a sister out there. All she said was that Annette was her pride and joy. She said I couldn't be half of her even if I tried. She boasted how rich and successful you were. Naturally, I got jealous. When I finally found you, I saw that you had a perfect life and that you had a husband. You lived in a wonderful house and you looked so happy.""So I went after Nathan. I was just a nobody. I couldn't afford a lavish lifestyle, so I had to take it by force. I knew that we were related, and I did what I had to do to get that lifestyle. I ended up falling in love with Nathan in the process. Annie, I'm so sorry."I was speechless. There was nothing I

"Come on, you can't say I didn't do you any favors. The guy was a douche bag. He had it coming." "I don't get it. Why would you do this?" I yelled."Damien. I've always known that we have to be together. You see," she paused. "He means the world to me." Her eyes had a twinkle in them."I don't get it.""Are you fucking slow?" She took a sip of the drink on the table."I love Damien!""Are you fucking slow Mai? I am with Alex, you have no reason to be doing any of this!""Oh but I do because Damien can't get you out of his head. Very fucking unfortunate if you ask me." She sighed as she walked up to me."It's a shame though, I really did like you Annette, you're a sweet girl and I did enjoy our friendship.""You're not thinking straight Mai, Damien and I never got together, we only liked each other. Wait did you kill Jessica?""Wow, nothing gets past a quick thinker like you," she chuckled as she took a gun out of her pocket. "So you're gonna kill me? Then you think that would make
How to Keep a Husband Chapter 34
Days turned into weeks. Three weeks later, we were stuck here in this stupid situation. We didn't have a plan. Not yet, at least. I wasn't sure what to even do at this point.Evie complained day and night, and she assumed that this was her karma.The door rattled, and Mai stepped inside, a smirk on her face, and she showed me the news."It looks like Nathan pulled some strings. He's free.""What?""Well, I mean, you guys aren't there. Also, since you guys are on vacation in The Bahamas and the evidence didn't belong to Nathan, well I guess he can be free. For now.""What about the charges I placed against him?" Evie asked, and Mai rolled her eyes."When will you learn that no one gives a fuck about you, sweetie? Nathan is a lawyer, and I've seemed to underestimate him. He knows his rights, and he knows how to get out of sticky situations.""You do know this is bad news for you, right? Because they will be looking for the person behind all of this." I raised a brow."Nope. A psycho ex-
How to Keep a Husband Chapter 35
Nathan's POVI sat in my dining room, staring at the plate in front of me. I couldn't eat. I didn't want to. I didn't deserve to.I got away from that situation. I was thankful. The man, Julius, who was apprehended in connection with attacking Annette got caught up in a web of lies. There was no connection between us.A sharp knock on my door grabbed my attention. I rose out of my seat and peeked through the door hole. I recognized the person as the guy from my family gathering who was with Annette.What the hell does he want? I opened the door and greeted him."How can I help you?""Can I come in for a second?" He asked and I nodded."Look, I know that we aren't friends, and I don't know you, but I know you're a dick." He started."Did you come to my house to slander me or are you going to get to the point?""I think something is wrong with Annette. She was hardly returning my texts and then suddenly she calls and tells me she doesn't want anything to do with me. That was a few days
How to Keep a Husband Chapter 36
Nathan's POV"Well last time I heard, they were on a trip to The Bahamas." The secretary stated and I nodded. "Can we speak to one of the detectives?" Damien asked. "Preferably Kaden." I added. Kaden was a friend of Alex and I. We all went to school together. He was two grades below us. "Hold one minute I'll go find out if he's available to speak to you." The secretary told us. She returned in short moment and directed us to his room. When Kaden saw me, his face didn't light up like it usually would. "Nathan, I'm surprised to see you here. How have you been?" He asked. "I've been going through a lot, as you can imagine." "I understand that." "Hello everyone, I'm Kaden Peterson. How can I help you guys today?" He asked. "Well we think Alex's trip to The Bahamas is suspicious. It just doesn't add up." Damien spoke up."I've been trying to contact Alex about a project but he hasn't been answering my calls." Kaden added. "Also, he hasn't even communicated with anyone. No texts.
How to Keep a Husband Chapter 37
Annette's POVI was tired. I didn't know when or how we would even get out of here. I was growing impatient. Evie was growing pale due to a lack of sunlight, and she was also anemic. Things didn't look good for her.I hadn't seen Mai in over a week. I wondered what happened to her."Annie, this is our chance. Listen to me carefully, okay?" Alex said, and I nodded."Kathie is coming to give us food in around half an hour. Both of my feet are handcuffed. One of my hands is free. This may be risky, but I'll need you to help me restrain her. I know you're pregnant, Annie; that's why we have to be smart about this." He explained."Oh, I'll do more than restrain the bitch.""After you restrain her, you know that the halls are usually empty, as you've told me."Last week, Mai took me outside for some fresh air. I was able to look around the house. It was a pretty normal house. I didn't really see anything to use as an escape, but I knew this was my only chance."But Alex, how do I help you e
How to Keep a Husband Chapter 38
Annette's POVOh my fucking gosh! They were coming and we were trying to escape. What luck! "Quick! We have to leave through the back door." Alex said and we nodded. We rushed back through the house and went to the back door. "The door is locked!" Evie cried out. "Through the windows we go." Alex stated. Alex grunted in pain as he climbed through the window. I'll personally have to kick Mai's ass for doing that shit. How dare she shoot him! Alex and I helped Evie out of the window, then I went last. Alex steadied me as I planted my feet on the ground. I was around six months pregnant now. "We have no choice but into go through the forest." Alex said and we nodded. We hastily made our way through the forest, running as fast as we all could. We covered a lot of ground from the house. We just didn't stop walking, not for a second. "I'm tired. Can we rest?" Evie begged."Yeah I second that." Alex said as he plopped down on the ground."Guys this is crazy. We are on the run from t

Annette's POV "If you make a fucking move, Damien is dead meat." I yelled. "Annie, what are you doing?" Damien asked as he tried to walk over to me. "Don't fucking move, Damien!" I snapped, and he stood in his place. Kenneth placed his gun in his pocket, much to everybody's surprise. "I know you're in the car, Mai. Get the hell out right now! Don't forget, I'm not afraid to go the distance. I'll kill Damien; if I have to, then I'll do the same for Alex and all my friends. So, let's settle this!" "Annie, what's going on?" Nathan asked, but I ignored him. A little while passed, and the door creaked open. Mai stepped out of the car. "Annie, just calm down, please. There's no need for violence." "I don't give a fuck, Mai. Tell Damien what you did!" "Mai, what did you do?" Damien asked, and she sighed. "It's not what it looks like. I promise you that." She walked up to him. "Wait, don't tell me, did you start this?" Damien gasped. "I know it looks bad, but that’s not how it is;
