All Chapters of MY CRUEL HUSBAND : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Anne's POV My breath caught when my husband’s message flashed across my screen. "I don’t know what I feel anymore. But I do know I need to be away from you for a while." My heart skipped a beat. The phone nearly slipped from my trembling hand. The words blurred as tears stung my eyes. I shoved the phone into my bag, my mind spinning, and stood abruptly from my desk.It was almost closing time anyway, but this time I didn’t wait for anyone. I rushed through the reception, ignoring the curious stares, and fled to my car. My hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as I drove, every red light feeling unbearable. I reached home faster than ever.I stepped out of the car and walked into the mansion. I slammed the door of the car shut, so loud that I felt the sound of the hitting echoed in my ears. My body was visibly shaking and my hand was trembling. I bolted toward the door, steadily making a fast step approaching the main door. I just received a message from Micheal that I have to g

Michael’s POV“Micheal, I am back!” I heard a weak voice from the phone as I answered the call upon the sudden buzzing of my phone. I flinched immediately. I didn't even recognize who the person was. I remained silent for a few seconds before I could utter any word.“Please…..who am…I talking with?” I nervously stammered, asked the person. Uncertainty seeping into every syllable.I heard a feminine voice, tinged with emotions of being tortured. “It's me, Evie. I am back!” She declared, her voice steady. “You need to thank God for me that I escaped the kidnapping. Besides, I am sorry for leaving you alone in the first place. I wholeheartedly regret it.”I leaned backwards to rest my back on the chair, resting my hand on my desk beside the computer in my office. I was stunned that I could come across Evie who suddenly disappeared one fateful day.I smirked scornfully, parted my lips as I held tight my phone to my ear. “Evie, so you can come to me and apologize. So evil of you.” I finall

CONFRONTATION.Anne's POV.“You're going to leave this house for me, Anne!” Evie roared, her eyes blazing with anger that almost made the room hotter.She planted her hand on her hip, her chin lifted in arrogance as she advanced toward me. What audacity? She behaves as if she owned the house. I can't really blame but Micheal that subject me to her and diminish my post in the house.I refused to feel defeated and flinch. A sharp hiss escaped my lips. For a moment, I felt something shift inside me–a fragile woman who used to shrink under their insults was gone. I now had a life growing inside me, and I would fight for it with everything I have.“You must be joking,” I said coldly, locking my gaze on her. My voice is very firm and sharp this time. I moved past her deliberately and sat down in the armchair next to Micheal. Evie gaze was following me, narrowing as if she couldn't believe my defiance.I turned to Micheal, whose eyes were not friendly to me. My voice thudded with pain and

GRANDMOTHER’S WARNINGAnne's POV.“Anne!” His voice was sharp, cracking under the weight of panic. “Anne, please open your eyes. I don't know if this is what happened. I'm so sorry….” I heard Micheal's voice drifted to me like echoes in a tunnel–faintly pleading but I wasn't myself anymore. That was the last sound I heard before unconsciousness swallowed me whole.When I gained awareness, it was slow and hazy. My eyes fluttered open, I found myself lying on a hospital bed. I scanned around as I beheld several medical devices fitted to different parts of my body; A dull beeping reached my ears. Cold wires and tubes trailed from my arms and chest, tethering me to unfamiliar machines. The antiseptic sting of the room filled my noseI turned my head gingerly, my throat dry, trying to understand where I was and why I am here. Panic pressed against the edge of my mind, until I noticed a figure beside me, slumped in the chair, staring at me passionately. “Who…who is this?” I whispered, we

THE SUSPICIOUS SCHEMEAnne's POV.“Amelia!” I shrieked, shook with fear, as I ran toward her by the time we entered the room she was laid. She was convulsing, her chest rising and falling very fast, battling for breath. Her eyes are flashing terribly and I couldn't explain if she even saw us with that kind of look. It seems she didn't feel her body again. The doctor started bringing out different kinds of medical devices to stabilize her. One of them, brought out to check her heartbeat and other parts of her body.“Amelia! Please, don't leave me.” I begged her, tears welling down from my eyes. My voice cracking under the weight of the panic. Out of absolute confusion and shattered state of mind, I moved forward, trying to interfere with the doctor, but the nurse held me back by grabbing my hand violently. “You need to excuse us please, Sister.” The nurse told me but it fell on my deaf ear. I can withstand staring at my sister battling for her life and I am taken away because the do
