All Chapters of You Want Me Back, Don't You?: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“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

“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

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

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

Anaya stepped out of her car when she saw a black BMW pulling up in front of her uncle’s mansion. Wrapping the light shawl around her shoulders, she crossed the street just as Henry got out of his car.For a moment, she was dazed by his charming looks. She had seen a lot of handsome men in her lifetime but there was something about Henry that always put her on an edge. His chiseled features were accentuated by the crisp navy blue suit he put on which brought out his muscular physique in the most perfect way. His sleek black hair was brushed back, placing his face in full display.The subtle silver shirt added a touch of class to the overall look.“Good evening.” Henry greeted with a nod then his eyes travelled down her body. Anaya’s lips parted a little but she didn’t know if it was because of the chilly weather or the fact that Henry was openly checking her out.If there was one thing she has learned about Henry since they met, it was that he was never subtle with his actions or word
