My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Annabelle's POVThe sudden creaking sound of the door got me flinching hard as I shifted my gaze to the door. The moment my eyes came in contact with Travis, I felt a surge of relief ripple through me.God! The last time I set my eyes on my husband was two days ago when he came back from work, looking so haggard and wasted. And that'd been the same day the billionaire daughter, Samantha Harris returned to the city after so many years.Just when I thought there could be hope to rebuild my marriage with Travis, she came back. And since then, he was barely at home."Travis!" I exclaimed as I ran to give him a hug. "Where have you been?"The question was useless. A part of me already knew where he had been.When he didn't say anything, I withdrew my arms around and jerked my head to look at his face. His dark eyes lingered on me for a split second, I thought he was going to kiss or probably tell me he was sorry.However, he averted his gaze from my face and brushed past me without a word.

Annabelle’s povAs usual, he had his Prussian suit on and a handful of burly-looking bodyguards were behind him, looking like they were about to tear me apart soon.I managed a smile. "Uhm-- dad, I was just-----"His eyes darkened. "Dad? I don't know this lady from anywhere. Guards!"Five able bodied men surrounded me at once."Throw this lady out of the building!" He ordered in a clear voice.I fell on my knees with a loud thud, tears already streaming down my eyes. “I know how much you hate me dad but please don't throw me away. I'm so sorry for not listening to you back then and I regret it now. But if you would just give me the chance to prove myself to you, I will do anything!""What are you still waiting for? Throw her out!" He yelled at the bodyguards, his eyes burning with rage.A vague reminder of his face that same day he asked me never to show my face ever again, if I decide to marry the stranger I just met - Travis smith."Sir Robert, please be lenient." Henry’s voice fil

Annabelle's POVHis eyes darted from my face to that of Jackson who was busy tugging at his pants. I could see the questions in his eyes. Oh God! I was avoiding this. He mustn't find out that Jackson was his son.I could almost hear his silent questions. Do you have a child? Are you married now? And it wasn't helping one bit.His gaze slowly trailed to my hands, probably looking for a ring.I jerked my hand away from his and pulled Jackson to myself.“If you'll ex–” my words trailed off when he crouched down to Jackson's level and gazed at him so softly, almost like he knew he was his son and I felt my heart squeeze in my chest. Does he know already?!He flashed Jack a smile. "Little boy, I and your momma were just having a decent conversation here."Jackson frowned. "Then you should use your mouth, not your hands. Why were you dragging her hands? I'm going to tell my grandpa!" He ran off.Travis trailed his eyes on me again and I struggled not to buckle under his intense gaze. I coul

CHAPTER 7 ANABELLE’S POV The next morning, all employees were back to work and getting things going. The contract skyline company had signed was what I had to work on. I picked up my phone to give Henry a call. He hasn’t shown up since I entered the company’s compound. My phone rang and after a few seconds, I could hear his voice over the phone. “Hey!” “Hey? Look at you. I can’t find you anywhere around the company.” “I’ve been in the company for hours now, in your father’s office to be precise.” “Oh! I think I’ll need your attention here also.” I could feel his faint smile over the phone as he responded. “No problem, I will be there soon.” Henry showed up in my office after some minutes. I looked at the man in a fitted white suit, his purple tie knotted and down his neck, he walked gently and found himself a chair for us to have a better conversation. “You called me.” “Here, take a look.” I turned the desktop to him, and after he took a glance, Henry paused and looked

Annabelle’s POV"More celebrations sir." Henry said, waving at my father who didn't bother to look back and went out of our sight in a minute. I let out a laugh and hugged Henry. "Told you, you'll do great." I gave a smile as a response. "Such beautiful work. I'll take my leave now." Got a message from Henry, he congratulated me once more. He was home, the message was a short video, with him smiling and wishing me more luck. I was busy smiling at my phone, and I remembered my father had asked me to show up.

The progress last night and I couldn't wait to get the message from Skyline myself. I hurried to my office and I got so many messages except Skyline's. One of which Travis was part of. "Travis?"
