Semua Bab You Want Me Back, Don't You?: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Just as the stage lights in the ceiling fell down, Anaya was pushed out of the way. She stumbled backwards to the floor, wrapped in someone’s arms.Her head went blank for a few seconds before she blinked up, staring at the ceiling in confusion.“Are you okay?” Henry’s voice was filled with concern but Anaya was numb, unable to say a word.She straightened up, the crowd all staring at her with shock and Yara by her side, asking if she was okay. Her eyes flickered up to the gallery where she had seen that figure and it was nowhere to be found.She saw a shadow disappear behind the door that led to the backstage. Instantly, she rose to her feet, running down the stage to follow the person. “Anaya!” She heard Henry calling but she didn’t respond.Her head was thumping with pain and her feet were aching from running in high heels but she didn’t stop. She burst through the door just to see the figure rounding a corner in the long hallway.“Hey!” Anaya yelled, running after the person. She

Anaya woke up, stretching her limbs with a sigh. Her eyes peeled open and for a moment, she was surprised to see a dark ceiling as she was used to the white ones in her apartment.Juggling her memory, she remembered the fun time she had with Henry and Ryle yesterday at the Family Fun Day. And also, the intimate moment she shared with Henry after dropping Ryle off to sleep.They hadn’t slept together…yet. But the kiss was the most intimate thing they’ve done and she couldn’t wait for more. After their thousand kisses and makeout sessions, Henry asked her to stay the night and she went to his bedroom where they spoke and laughed for hours before finally falling asleep in each other’s arms.Anaya straightened up when she noticed Henry wasn’t next to her. She saw him seated at the edge of the bed, shirtless with his hair tousled over his head. “Henry.” She called but he didn’t respond to her. His back was faced towards her and he seemed to be deep in thoughts. She scooted closer to him,

“Yayyy!” Ryle screamed excitedly as he jumped on the blankets laid on the floor.“Ryle, you better not be jumping on those blankets!” Anaya’s voice sounded across the hallway before she walked into the living room with the bowl of popcorn.Henry stood up from the couch and took the bowl from her, arranging it with other snacks on the floor. It was the weekend and Ryle wanted to have a movie night so Anaya prepared everything they needed.Henry didn’t want to join initially because of work but there was little he could do when Anaya ordered him to set the fluffy blankets and cushions on the floor. “Sorry,” Ryle smiled sheepishly and then moved to take the remote from the table. “What movie should I play?” “Recommend something for us, Ryle.” Anaya sat on the blanket and Henry settled down next to her.“Are we really going to sit for hours watching a damn cartoon?” Henry huffed under his breath and Anaya stuffed a handful of popcorn into his mouth. “Shh!” She warned him just as the mo

“Oh, I love this place.” Daisy sighed in bliss as she sipped from her wine. Anaya dropped her glass on the table, watching her friend carefully. “I know, right? As soon as I saw it on IG, I knew you were going to love it.” She smiled before reaching for her utensils to cut the steak.After Maia had noted that Daisy disappeared during the last attack at the product launch and appeared conveniently after the damage had been done, Anaya knew she had to do something to find out the truth.It wasn’t like she didn’t trust Daisy. They had been friends ever since high school and even though Daisy might act like a brat sometimes, Anaya never once doubted her loyalty.But the situation she was in at the moment was dire. She had no single clues leading to the culprit and the private investigator Henry hired hadn’t reported back to them. So, she organised this dinner with her friend in order for her to subtly get any information. Daisy was very talkative and free, Anaya knew she just had to ask

“And the little bunny played with his best friend happily ever after.” Anaya rested by the doorway just as Henry finished Ryle’s bedtime story. She watched with a tired smile as Henry kissed Ryle’s forehead, brushing his hair gently.“I love you.” Henry muttered and Ryle mumbled an incoherent reply before his eyes closed.Henry turned around and paused for a moment, appearing surprised to see Anaya. “Since when have you been standing there?’” He whispered, walking towards her.“Since the happily ever after ending.” Anaya said before closing the door behind them. “It’s a miracle the bunny’s brain cells weren’t ripped out by his best friend.” Henry laughed and Anaya smiled at the sight. She used to think Henry only reserved his joyful side for Ryle but these days, he had gotten a lot more comfortable with her and now, it wasn’t that hard for her to make him smile.“My bedtime stories aren’t as graphic as you describe it, Anaya.” Henry grabbed her hand as they moved to the bedroom and
