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

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;

Alex arrived at the hospital shortly after. I was so excited to see him. "How's everyone doing?" He asked. "We're all good. I'm just very nervous about Evie. Also, Kathy passed away. Apparently, when we left her tied up, Mai shot her. She couldn't have made it." I explained. "Well, that's unfortunate. Mai is a cold-blooded killer, and she's never going to see the light of the day after what she did," Alex said. "Damn right, you are. She is borderline crazy and I never in my wildest dreams would think that she would take things so far."Nathan walked over to us. He looked like he was on the brink of tears. "Hey, can I talk to you guys for a second?" He asked, and we both nodded. "Alex, you're a good man. I know it doesn't mean anything, or it doesn't matter what I say, but I know you're going to be a great husband to Annette. I just wish that I didn't fuck up beyond repair. It's definitely heartbreaking to see her be with someone else. I fucked up our lives for a few moments of p

"Good morning, baby," Alex cooed as he rubbed my head. "How does breakfast in bed sound?""Sounds like a plan." I murmured as I took the tray. "This looks delicious." I smiled, and he nodded. "Of course it does. I made it." He winked, and I blushed. I couldn't get over how happy I was with Alex, and I was really glad our lives were back to normal. “Enjoy your breakfast, love,” Alex said, his eyes twinkling with affection.“I will, thanks to the chef,” I replied, playfully raising my coffee mug in a toast.He laughed, a sound that warmed my heart. “Anything for you, darling.”“Alex,” I began, pausing to take a bite of the perfectly cooked eggs. “This is... amazing. You’ve outdone yourself.”He beamed at the compliment. “Well, I had a good reason. I wanted to start our day right.”“And you have,” I assured him, reaching across the bed to squeeze his hand. “Thank you, Alex.”His smile widened, and he leaned in to plant a soft kiss on my forehead. “Anything for you, baby. Always.”"So

"Earth to Annette, are you okay?" Alex asked, and I nodded."Yeah, I'm fine." I forced a smile, and he frowned. "Annie, is something bothering you?" He pressed, and I sighed."I promise, I am fine. If something was bothering me,. I would have told you. I am sorry for worrying you, baby. I guess I am just excited for Evie to come out of the hospital this evening.""I know you guys are going to be great sisters." He smiled, and I nodded. "Aren't you going to meet with Paige and Tiffany for lunch?" He asked."Yes, I am. I have some catching up to do with them."How was I going to tell Alex about the kisses I shared with Nathan? How am I going to tell him that I didn't pull away? I just stood there, stunned. “Alex, there’s something I need to tell you,” I began, my voice barely above a whisper.He looked at me, his eyes filled with concern. “What is it?” he asked.“I…I ran into Nathan the other day,” I said, pausing to gauge his reaction.“And?” he prompted, his gaze never leaving mine
