You Want Me Back, Don't You? Betrayal At Its Worst!
“You must be shitting me!” Anaya cursed under her breath as she watched the spectacle on the billboard through her car’s windshield.Her grip on the steering wheel tightened. She was barely able to hold in her anger and confusion.This had to be a prank. A very dangerous prank. Otherwise, why was her boyfriend, soon-to-be fiance, proposing to someone else in front of the entire world? No, she must be seeing things. There is no way Thomas was cheating on her!As if it couldn’t get worse, Anaya squinted her eyes and recognized the lady to be Thomas’s supposed cousin. The same one he introduced to her about a month ago. He had informed her they were both working on a project which was why she never suspected each time he told her he was with his cousin.Now, she realised that there was never a freaking project!“This can’t be happening.” Anaya murmured under her breath, shaking her head slowly. “Wait, he was busying proposing to someone else when I was waiting for him to show up at his b
Last Updated : 2025-04-10You Want Me Back, Don't You? The Irresponsible Lady
“She said stop!” Henry gritted his teeth, his grey eyes glaring at the drunk man in front of him.He had been watching the young lady drinking non-stop for the last hour with no intents of approaching her but he was curious to hear her story. She seemed sad and it was clear she had chosen alcohol as the escape route of whatever that was bothering her.He had only planned to watch her from the corner of the bar without letting their paths cross until the pervert started to pester her.“I-I thought she was alone.” The man slurred before backing away slowly.“Get lost!” Henry hissed and the man scrambled off.“And who are you?” The lady with straight brown hair watched him closely with narrowed eyes.“You do know how dangerous it is for a lady to be drinking alone by this time of the night, right?” Henry stared down at her.He had an indifferent look on his face but he found it hard to stop staring at the gorgeous being in front of him. He wanted to commit each of her features to his mem

“M-Mr. Fitzgerald.” The principal stared at Henry with a nervous smile on his lips.“Ryle, are you okay?” Henry strode into the office and walked past the man to reach for his son.“Daddy.” Ryle sniffed, more tears rushing out of his eyes when he saw his father.“Why are you crying? Are you hurt anywhere?” Henry knelt on the floor, assessing his son’s body to ensure he was unhurt. His anger was simmering within but he kept it at bay. Comforting Ryle and ensuring he was fine was the only thing that mattered for now.“Daddy.” Ryle wrapped his tiny arms around his father’s neck and Henry patted his back to calm him down.When Ryle’s sobs died down, Henry got to his feet with Ryle on his arms and he turned towards the insensitive adults in the room. It was the principal and two other women whom he assumed one was the mother of the other child involved in this incident.“A child is crying and instead of you trying to calm him down, you’re busy questioning my parenting methods?” Henry hisse

“Ahh!” Anaya winced at the excruciating headache that hit her as soon as she opened her eyes. Groaning, she patted the bed to search for her phone only for her to pause with trepidation. Something was very, very wrong. Jolting up, Anaya looked around the strange room with fear. “What on earth am I doing here?” She whispered under her breath.To make things worse, Anaya couldn’t recall how she ended up here. She patted her body and sighed with relief when she realised she was still dressed.“What happened?” She asked out loud to no one in particular as she tried to search her memories.The last thing she remembered was drinking about three bottles of whiskey to drown the pain of being cheated on and discarded by her boyfriend of five years. After that, everything was hazy.Anaya heard the door being opened and she looked around for anything she could use as a weapon. Instead, she saw a young lady dressed in black and gold uniform stepping into the room.“Oh, you’re finally awake. How

Anaya arrived at the address sent to her by the matchmaking agent. She had implored for them to set a date as soon as possible and they made sure her request was fulfilled.The restaurant was a cool place with just a few customers having dinner. The romantic music playing in the background added to the sophisticated and classy decor.A gentle smile slipped onto her face as she stepped inside. The agency had already done well by arranging a romantic setting.“Good evening, ma’am. May I know the name of your reservation?” A waiter approached her and asked.“Yeah, Cupid’s Little Assistant. Anaya Robinson.” Anaya informed him and he nodded before opening the tablet in his hand.“Yes, I see your name here. Table 5 is your table.” He led the way to the table and she followed behind him.“Your date hasn’t arrived yet. Should I help you with water or anything before he arrives?” “Just water will do. Thank you.” Anaya settled on the seat, feeling a bit queasy now that she was just a few minu

“You-” She said the same time he spoke. Her memory sharpened as his gaze tightened on her. It all came rushing back–this was the man who saved her two days ago!Chuckling, Anaya got to her feet and placed her hand forward. “We finally get to meet again, Mr. Fitzgerald. Anaya Robinson.” “Henry Fitzgerald.” His large and warm hand covered hers gently. “Nice to meet you, Henry Fitzgerald.” She smiled before settling back on her seat.She didn’t want to assume but the fact that she was here, just two nights after he saved her bothered her beneath her polite smile. How was she to explain that this was a total coincidence?“So, matchmaking? I would have thought that a man like you could get any girl he desired with a flick of his fingers.” Anaya started a conversation with a casual tone.“I am not looking for someone to kiss my feet because of my money or my looks. Which is why I opted for anonymity.” Henry leaned back on the chair, his sharp gaze on her. “And you?”“Well, I need to get m
Last Updated : 2025-04-11You Want Me Back, Don't You? Soon-To-Be Mother
Anaya stared back at Henry, not knowing how to respond to his declaration. If he had a son, why was he looking for a wife? Was he divorced? Did she have to worry about his son’s mother?Numerous questions roamed her head at the same time but she could only find her back to say. “I see…” Her voice faltered as she tried to find a suitable response. “And is his mother aware…?”A dark look flashed across his face before he composed himself. “I am a widower.” Anaya couldn’t help but blanch out with shock. She had expected a lot of things from her date tonight but meeting the man who saved her and having him confess that he was a widower wasn’t in her list of expectations.“I am sorry.” She mumbled, the air getting awkward now. Was that even the right thing to say?“Sorry for what? Are you the culprit who took my wife away from me?” Henry deadpanned.Anaya opened her mouth to speak but it was futile. His curtness was definitely something she needed to get used to–if they intended on going

“Shut up!” Daisy exclaimed. Anaya grinned at the shock on her friend’s voice. She was getting ready to see her uncle with Henry when her childhood friend, Daisy, called. When she told her friend she was getting married in less than a week, she knew all hell was going to break loose.“You’re kidding! No, you’ve got to be kidding me, Ana!” There were some noises in the background before the voice cleared up again.“Oh, Daisy, I wish I was. Everything just happened so fast. It’s a contract marriage. I just need someone to help me get Mom’s trust fund before Charles decides to get his hand on it.” Anaya moved to her jewelry closet to get something to match her outfit.“Contract marriage? What are you, Anaya? Some protagonist in a fiction novel?” Daisy scoffed.“At this point, my life has been like a freaking fiction. Might as well roll with it.” Anaya put on the dangling silver earrings.“Anaya, why don’t you take some time to think about this? I know your uncle has been pressuring you to

You Want Me Back, Don't You? A Tense Day With Tight Emotions
Henry stood next to Ryle who was clutching Anaya’s hand tightly as the nurse cleaned his wound. Henry had been deep in thoughts in the playground when he heard a cry he knew all too well.Anaya moved first, and arrived in time to pick Ryle up. He sustained a huge gash on his forehead and Henry wasted no time in rushing him to the hospital. Thankfully, the wound wasn’t damaging but it needed stitches to heal properly.Ryle whimpered as the nurse began to stitch the wound. Anaya gripped him firmly and Henry noticed how she flinched each time the needle went in. Henry stood besides her, a steady hand on her shoulder to offer her comfort. Anaya had been quiet throughout the ride but he could see how worried she was about Ryle.She was the first one to be by his side and she hadn’t let go of his hand ever since they got to the hospital. Her hands were clenched so tight that her knuckles were white.Tears slipped down her cheeks as Ryle was bandaged up. The nurse gave him medicine and he
You Want Me Back, Don't You? Securing The Trust Fund
“Everything has been set now.” The lawyer muttered as he handed Anaya the documents.Nervously, she took the papers in her hands, reading through the lines to make sure she wasn’t missing anything. She froze in her seat when it all dawned on her. The trust fund was finally hers!“Is this real?” Anaya breathed out, turning to Henry who was seated next to her. “It’s really mine?” “According to James, yes.” Henry nodded his head.Anaya beamed, unable to contain her excitement. When Henry called from work to come to a law firm, she was confused, not knowing what he wanted to do.She got here and was surprised to see Mr. Jetkins, her mother’s lawyer, and James Crowther, Henry’s lawyer, having a heated discussion. There, Henry explained everything to her.He spoke with his lawyer who told him there was a provision for securing her inheritance when there was a threat or risk to the property. And Mr. Jetkins agreed to this. Her mother had provided a clause where she could claim the trust fun
You Want Me Back, Don't You? Toasted Sandwich and Late Night Convo
Henry’s experience in the kitchen was as limited as it could get. He was born into a family that never had to do their laundry with their own hands and that wasn’t something he took for granted. But he didn’t want Anaya to head to bed sad and hungry. So he was going to make the little he could in order to put a smile on her face.“Where did you learn how to cook, Henry? I’m sure Margeret’s blood pressure would rise if she sees you in an apron past midnight.” Anaya laughed under her breath at her comment.“Well,” Henry whisked the eggs before throwing them into the frying pan. “Mother has no idea I know my way in the kitchen. I learnt all this from university.” “Hmm, I wonder how your university life was. Bodyguards, maids, drivers?” Henry shot her look. “Of course not. I was just like every other student. I hated standing out among my peers because of my wealth so I lived in a dorm with the two goofy dumbasses you met at the yacht party.” “That’s admirable.” Anaya nodded her head.
You Want Me Back, Don't You? Late Night Tears
Quietly, Henry sat on the couch with Anaya resting her head on his chest. Her breaths came out slow and rhythmic, signalling her tears had dried out. But he said nothing. He simply caressed her back gently, soothing her without a word. There were situations where words weren’t necessarily needed and this was one of them.Ryle had been constantly asking for Anaya because she was usually home before Henry arrived from work. He called her several times but the line went straight to voicemail. He had to lie to Ryle that Anaya had work and wouldn’t be able to tuck him to bed.Ryle protested a bit but later fell asleep. However, Henry knew he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep which was why he waited in the living room, absentmindedly reading through some documents. He was just about to call Alex for him to search for Anaya when she walked into the house, looking like she had had one of the worst day.He had no idea what happened to her at work or somewhere else today but it seemed he might
You Want Me Back, Don't You? Breakdown of Brakes and Emotions
Anaya’s heart flipped in her chest when she saw the message from the unknown number. The person had struck again and this time, it was with her car!She gripped the steering wheel tightly and began to swerve the car left and right, trying to keep the vehicle in control. The fact that she was on the highway meant that the damage was going to be more deadly.“My brakes are not working!” She screamed to the cars which were honking at her reckless driving. “Get out of the way!” She yelled and slammed her horn to alert the passersby in order to avoid hitting them.“I have to stop this car. I have to.” She muttered under her breath as the car picked up speed as the upcoming slope curved. Eyes darting, she looked for an object to crash the car–there was no other way.She needed something–anything–to stop the momentum. Noticing a patch of trees off the road, Anaya yanked the steering wheel towards that direction. With a bone-chilling crunch, her car hit the trunk of a tree with the impact of
You Want Me Back, Don't You? Confrontations And Failed Brakes
Anaya tapped her laptop screen, analyzing the sales chart Maia had prepared for her. With the new investment, things have been going smoothly in the company and she couldn’t be any happier.Technically, she had no urgent need for her mother’s trust fund anymore but she still needed to get a hold of it before her uncle tried to act cunning.A soft knock came from the door before Maia walked in, holding her tablet. “Boss, the report from the investigator is out.” Maia handed her the tablet.Anaya had hired a private investigator to look into the incident at the yacht. If she wanted to find out who this person was, she needed to be one step ahead of him or her. Virtually everyone who attended the party was an acquaintance of Henry and a stranger to her.Why would a stranger want her dead?“Nothing?” She frowned at the report from the investigator.“Yes, he said there was nothing suspicious. Not even a circumstantial evidence that would have implicated any of the guests.” Maia said grimly
You Want Me Back, Don't You? The Mother-in-law's Death Stare
Soft sunlight snuck into the room through the curtains and Anaya groaned slightly, stretching her limbs. However, her hand touched something hard which made her pause for a moment.Turning her head slowly to the side, the sight she saw was adoring. Henry was sleeping soundlessly with his black hair sprawled all over his head. His arm was around her as though his body naturally found hers during the night.He looked peaceful as he slept. Almost like the weight he carried on his shoulders when he was awake was too heavy for him.Anaya hesitated, her hand reaching out to comb his hair just when she noticed something by the door. Her eyes widened as her lips parted with shock. She was mistaken. It wasn’t a thing but someone.“Good morning to you too, Anaya.” Margeret's smile certainly didn’t reach her eyes.Shooting up from the bed in an instant, Anaya swayed a bit from the slight ache in her head from her sudden movement. “G-Good morning.” She mumbled under her breath while trying to sta
You Want Me Back, Don't You? Locked Up In The Same Room For The Night
Anaya closed her laptop with a huff, falling back on the bed with exhaustion. Her hair laid behind her as she stared up at the ceiling with boredom. It has been three days since she returned home after the incident, yet, she hadn’t stepped a foot out of the room.Henry hired someone–a menace–to take care of her every need. As soon as she woke up, the woman helped her to the bathroom to take her bath, she cooked for her and even helped her read her emails.Each time she tried to stand up from the bed, the woman would hit her back with a lecture of how she needed to rest in order not to suffer complications later. Anaya would have thought she was pregnant at the rate Henry was being overprotective of her.The first few days she tried to play along because her body did need the rest but today was the last straw. She needed to get out of the room before she ran mad.Two rapid knocks sounded at the door and she looked up to see Henry leaning on the doorway with a smile. “How are you?” He a
You Want Me Back, Don't You? A Tight Emotion Called Family
Henry rested by the balcony of this office, the breeze at the top floor soft against his face. He quickly had to rush out of the hospital for an urgent meeting with a client. Though, he stayed a few minutes watching Anaya soundlessly sleep in his arms.He hadn’t felt that in ages. Someone naturally fitting into his arms like they were made for each other. It reminded him of the many years he had woken up with Lauren by his side. Those quiet and intimate mornings they shared in each other’s arms were one of the most precious memories he had of her.He felt terrible. Like he was betraying her by thinking, worrying and caring for Anaya. He didn't want things to turn out like this. He didn’t want to see her as his wife but only as Ryle’s stepmother.Still, he needed to find out what happened to her last night. Something was off, and he trusted his gut instincts more than anything.He didn’t believe the story she cooked up for him. Not one bit.Anaya hadn’t slipped from the yacht due to ca
