All Chapters of How to Keep a Husband: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

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

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-

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.

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

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
