Chapter 1

Annabelle's POV

The 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. My heart squeezed against my chest at how cold he was acting. This couldn't be the husband I married five years ago. He seemed like a totally different person.

"Travis, at least say something. Why are you giving me the silent---?" I trailed off, a frown forming on my face as my eyes came in contact with the glaring crimson mark on his nape just after he took off his suit Jacket.

I knew exactly what the mark was and I felt like someone had pierced a needle through my skin. The realization that it was love bite sunk in as my eyes took in other things that I had totally ignored.

His dark hair was ruffled and his shirt was wrinkled. He even smelled different. This wasn't his perfume. He smelled of female perfume.

I couldn't take it anymore. "Are you just going to keep quiet? Where the hell did you sleep last night? You weren't even taking your calls! For God's sake, I was worried sick about you, Travis!"

A part of me hoped and prayed he would say something that would contradict my thoughts. But instead, he turned to me with the coldest expression I had ever seen.

"And what are you to question my whereabouts?" He said tersely.

"Your wife,Travis!" I croaked, then cleared my voice. "I'm your wife for Christ sake!"

"Wife?" he repeated, and I caught a ghost of smile curl up his lips. "You mean replacement wife?"

Now, a dark chuckle wafted through his lips. "Then let me make things clear then. Since you're too blind to read the signs I've been giving you."

He brought a brown envelope and shoved it at my face. My mind emptied immediately I saw the word, 'Divorce' boldly written on it.

"D-Divorce?" My voice was barely audible as I took the envelope with trembling hands.

He cheated on me and hadn't even given me any explanation whatsoever. But now, he wanted a divorce?

"Good thing you know how to read." He said gruffly. "Now, just do the needful."

"Travis, this isn't you!" My words came off as barely a whisper, "Why would you suddenly want to divorce me? I mean we were together a week ago. We were happy. I thought--- thought... " My voice broke as I struggled to fight back the tears that were threatening to spill.

"Look here, Anna. We both know that there was never a time I loved you!" He gritted out. "I only did it to get back at my parents and you knew. You were only a replacement to Samantha!"

"No, Travis. You promised that we would work on our marriage. We made a decision to make our relationship better last week and everything was going well until she came. You were...."

"Stop it!" His voice was stiff. "If you're trying to paint Samantha as the villain here then I won't take it light with you. She had always been the one I loved. You were only a replacement and you should have known that this would happen sooner or later!"

He scoffed. "And did you say work out our marriage? What is there to work on? Your womb that has refused to give me a child for five good years?"

If words were daggers, I would be dead by now. His words drove daggers roughly through my chest and pierced my heart. It scarred it. Hearing those words from the man I loved stung like hell. It felt like my heart had cracked into two.

The constraint broke now and tears poured out of my eyes and slid down my face.

"Five good years you say? Travis, you never wanted to touch me. You never made the moves! I always did! And now you blame me for being unable to bear your child?"

As I stared at him, the broken tiny pieces of our puzzled marriage I have been trying to fix suddenly started fixing themselves in my head.

“Now I get it!” a low laugh escaped me, “I thought you did that because you wanted to take things slow. How stupid could I be? You must have felt disgusted by my presence that you couldn't even sleep with me!"

"Yes!” He screamed at me, “you wasted my entire five years for nothing. Feeding off my family's money and bringing nothing to the table or my profile. Now just sign these papers and get lost."

Bring nothing? Hell, I spent all those years with him trying to please him and his family. I worked my ass off as a maid serving them and playing the submissive wife. I let them treat me like trash, I gave up everything because I loved him. And now this is how he pays me back?

"I...I don't want to sign it." I sniffled and stepped back. "I'm sorry I can't do it. I love you so much, Travis. Can't we make our marriage work? I... I can't live without you. I will do anything you want to make this work out."

"Seems like you didn't get me clearly. You mean nothing to me! All you ever brought to me was bad luck! Now, my father is threatening to step me down as the CEO if I don't get rid of you!"

He grabbed me roughly by my shoulders. I winced as his fingers dug into my flesh in fury. "Now if you truly love me, you'll sign these papers and get out of my life or I'll make you do it forcefully."

"So...so this is about your family huh?"

He stayed silent but I continued, taking a step closer to him.

"This is about your family trying to control you like they'd always done? They're doing this because of Samantha? They want you to get back with her right?"

I wiped furiously the tears that were at the corner of my eyes. "And the hickeys on your neck, she did that to you, right? You couldn't even wait for her to get settled before sleeping with her."

I suddenly felt raw disgust at him. How could I not notice I had been living with a monster for the past one year? My breath hitched in my throat, anger and pain coursing through me.

And I was too hurt to feel panicked when Travis' face completely turned into a beast. His eyes twitched with a savage glint, but I was past caring.

"How low of you, Travis! Have you no shame at all? Sleeping with another woman when you are legally married!?"

I watched as his veins popped out and before I knew what was happening, I felt a sharp pain in my cheeks as he gripped my jaw roughly.

"Now listen up you bitch! You've no right to speak to me in such a manner?" He growled, trembling with rage.

"You are nothing to me but a replacement and you will never be like Samantha. She's pretty, she hails from a reputable world-class family. She knows just how to satisfy a man but what about you? Sex with you sucks. You don't even have a family! You are a useless piece of shit!"

He let go of me and I staggered back and fell to the ground. I felt a sharp pain in my heart then it shot up to my brain and shook my entire body. It was as if my heart was ripped out of my chest and crushed to the ground. I felt empty.

With tears blurring my vision, I scribbled my signature on the required space in the document.

"Done," I said through gritted teeth.

"Good. Now get out and don't ever show your face in front of me!

A low sinister smile crawled up my face. "By the time you realize your mistake, it will be too late for you. Just as you've made my heart ache for five years, I'll make you regret doing this in five folds! I'll make all of you regret this!"

I bolted out of the door, desperate to get outside before letting the constraint I placed on my tears break. I wasn't going to give him that privilege of watching me cry.

As I placed my hand on the gate's handle, it jerked open and almost caught me in the face. I took a few steps backwards to allow whoever was there to come in.

And when I saw the face, I froze.

Pathetic, I don't feel bad for anything that happened to her. She obviously liked it. Why else go back to someone like her Ex-husband

Annabelle's POV "Crying like a loser, are you?" The lady said in derision. She was none other than Samantha. My husband's pesky ex. Blinking hard, I wiped my eyes not letting her see another tears of mine. "I figure you are done speaking, now can you get out of my way?" "Oh, not so fast." A vicious voice came behind me and I instantly recognized it. My blood ran cold as I turned to meet the vile faces of the devils who had made my life hell – my father in-law, mother-Inlaw and Travis grandmother as well. "I just want to let you know that if you dare step into this house ever again, I'll ruin your life. Do you understand me?" Travis's father, Mr Fred grunted and all I did was nod. "You don't have to worry about me, because I regret ever meeting your son!" I gritted my teeth. "No sweetheart, It's us who regret letting you marry our son and become nothing other than a liability to us!!!" Mrs. Aurelia, Travis mother flared up and a scoff escaped my lips. Liability?! this peop

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."

Chapter 4
Annabelle's POV I felt like someone had shot a bullet straight at my heart. It was either I misheard or the doctor was joking. "Firstly, I'm now Miss Anabelle Spencer." I corrected with a scoff, "Lastly, you've got to be kidding me. There's no way I'm pregnant." The doctor smiled. "Really? But that would mean you are about to rewrite history because your test result shows here," he handed me a paper, "that you're pregnant!" My heart sank as I scanned through the test results. I really was pregnant and it was very obvious who the father was. Travis Smith – my now Ex-husband. No! There has to be another way! This can't be happening! I can't be pregnant for the monster who discarded me like trash. Just when everything was finally playing out beautifully for me, his bastard self was back again in the form of a child to ruin everything. Of all things, a child! "I want it out" I said in a calm voice and the doctor frowned. "Pardon?" "You heard me doctor, I want an abortion." "Says

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 6
Annabelle’s POVI smiled so widely inside of me, the terrifying look on their faces gave me so much joy that I felt victorious already, but no, I’m just getting started. “Pull up your smiles more, Anna.”Henry, who had walked up to the stage to take pictures with me, silently whispered behind my ears. I felt an ounce of happiness and an outer smile. The noise of the guests and cheers brought me back into the party, I was literally feeling every stung part of me back into a complete sense of freedom and euphoria.My father pulled my face and looked to my face,“You’ve made us all proud, Anna. And I’m especially proud of you.” He briefed before taking up the microphone again.“Thank you all so much, it’s been so many years without my daughter and it’s an utmost joy for me to see her back home and taking her place. Thank you all for celebrating this day with me. Enjoy and have fun!” My father hugged me once more and placed a soft kiss on my cheeks, I smiled wholeheartedly again, I have

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

Chapter 8Annabelle’s POV "You did well, sweetheart." My father tapped my head and gave me a bit of his every second courage as he did the last time "Thank you, Dad." I must have truly made him happy by coming back, and my presence is more like an energy rising. I walked round the chair in his office and went to the cushion in the office, rested and closed my eyes. "Let's have dinner when we're home. I'll invite Henry also." "Alright dad, I'll be home to prepare something for us. We still have three hours before dinner" "Are you going to sleep there?" I turned my face to him to see my weary eyes that said I can't drive and I need to close my eyes for a few minutes. He didn't take long to understand, he breathed in deeply and sat on his chair. I turned my face back and slept. I must have slept for an hour or more. Henry knocked and my eyes were opened. "I'm leaving for home, your Dad asked to call you downstairs." I realized my Dad wasn't even in the office anymore. "Go

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. I ran upstairs and found out he wasn't asleep already. -------------The Next Day.Dressing up for work again, I left the house before my father this time. 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?" I muttered, surprised he had the aptitude to text me again. I ignored the message at first until he showed up at the office again

Chapter 10
Annabelle's POV"Jackson? What are you doing here?" my little boy was walking gently like an easy god. His appearance was quite different from what I have always seen. His eyes looked Piercy like he was looking for something to bounce on and pinch it effortlessly."Mum!" His voice sounded so pleasing that I caught him in my embrace. his beautiful voice I’ve heard for less, since the party ended and now he is in the company, roaming around the office area. He might have passed by those securities, or did father bring him in? "I was looking for grandpa. He told me to wait outside that door but he disappeared and I couldn't find him anymore, so I wanted to see if he was around anyway.""Oh! you shouldn't be walking around like this, look at your hair." I fixed his rough looking hair,"You both have met each other.""Dad, you brought Jackson to the office?""Yeah, he missed his mother he could not see before going to bed.""Grandpa is right, I miss you mum.""That's sweet of you, baby.
