Hannah's POVI swiftly placed my palm on my mouth. His eyes widened at my words.Me and my stupid mouth." I don't hurt you." His soft words tumbled from his lips as I looked at him, speculating my next words." You have hurt me every single day in our ten months. Just because I don't show it, does not mean that I am not hurt." I whispered loud enough for him to hear." I...I didn't know..." He stuttered. " The one who hurts others will never know how deeply their words or actions hurt the victim," I replied, trying to shift away from his hands." I have work. You do too. Is there anything else?" I asked, tugging his hands from my waist. He tightened his hands on my waist and pulled me close to him.My back soon was against his car as he leaned in close. " I just realized that this is the first time you have called me Daniel in our ten months." He whispered, his lips almost touching mine.The racing of my heartbeat soon became evident. " What are you doing?" I asked him, trying to see
Hannah's POVI looked up at her almost dropping my fork and spoon." Umm..." I murmured as I thought of something to reply back to her. " Mum, we are not planning for children now," Daniel replied.I blew out a breath of air, silently thanking him for saving me. " But isn't it time for a kid or two to run around in the mansion?" She asked, directing her question to me." Mum, both of us are busy with our work. I don't think we can commit to having a child now," I replied, peering up at her cautiously." There is nothing wrong with taking some time off from work. Come on, you do know that I am getting older as the days go by. I would, of course, want to play with my grandchild." She informed."Mum, we have yet to discuss the topic of kids," I mentioned. " Hannah dear, it has been 10 months since both of you have been married. I think it is about time both of you give us some good news, don't you think honey?" She asked Dad.Dad contemplated giving an answer to Mum but decided against i
TRIGGER WARNING: CONTENT BELOW CONTAINS RAPE.Hannah's POVThe sudden sound of metal hitting ceramic bounced off the walls as all the head tilted up once again. Mother's harsh eyes scalded me, as Brother wore an uninterested expression. But Father, a flicker of anger rushed over his eyes but he quickly covered it up.Everyone continued to eat their scrumptious dishes as I continued to stare at my bowl. The hand continued to grasp my thigh, moving higher every second. But I cannot utter a word, because if I did, no one will believe me. I no longer wanted to drink my soup. I no longer wanted to be in any part of this horrible family dinner. Bile rose up in my throat, but I can't run to the bathroom.I pushed it back down with some water, hoping to calm my stomach. After a while, the rest had their stomachs filled and set their napkins down. " Jelly bean, you wouldn't mind if I stayed here for a while, would you?" He asked, flashing his kind, no, fake smile to Mother. Mother smiled up at
TRIGGER WARNING: CONTENT BELOW CONTAINS RAPE.Hannah's POVI am doomed, right?His palm enveloped my hand, still resting it against his cheek. " I am sorry, I should have touched you. I will never touch you again, I promise " I spoke hurriedly. He let out a small sigh and opened his gorgeously sculpted eyes. " Don't make promises you can't keep."I blinked at him for a while, remembering that my palm is still against his cheek. I was thinking about removing when he gripped it harder against his cheek. " Why would you think that I would not be able to keep a promise?" I asked, uncertainty filling my mind." Because I know that you will not be able to not touch me," He replied, displaying his flirtatious smirk. I rolled my eyes at him before replying," I will be able to not touch you," I wanted to feel victorious for once. " Oh really, then why has your palm not left my cheek?" He asked, his smirk turning into a grin.A gorgeous grin, I must say. Wait, what am I thinking?I realised tha

Hannah's POV"Hannah! Hannah! Hannah, respond to me! Fuck!" Daniel shook my now upright body as vigorously as possible. I managed to snap out of the memory but the tears refused to stop. I blinked multiple times to stop the tears. Suddenly realizing that Daniel was near me, I jumped away from the bed and him." Hannah, what's wrong? Talk to me," he pleaded, getting up from the bed. I help my palm out to him, signaling him to stop there as I looked around for a way to get away from these four walls. " Hannah," Daniel dragged my name out. My eyes landed on the door separating my room and his. I ran around him and twisted the door knob. " Hannah," He called out once more as I tugged the door open and ran to the other side. I shut the door and locked it from my side. I leaned against the door as sobs poured out from my mouth." Hannah, please open the door. Tell me what is wrong," Daniel knocked on the door multiple times. I harshly placed the back of my hand against my mouth to muffle my
Hannah's POVI did not close the door, thinking that everyone had gone to bed. Brother walked to the cushioned chair and took a seat. He looked up at me and pointed at where he wanted me to stand. I stood there, waiting for him to start talking. " Have you finished paying for the loan?" He asked, leaning back. I shook my head instead of answering him. " And why have you not?" He questioned, crossing his arms." I...uh, my salary i...is not m...much. I...it will take a f...few more years," I stuttered, feeling scared for his reply. He scoffed at me and stood up, straightening his coat. " Then how do you expect me to behave like a brother to you?" He asked, walking up to me but stopping a few feet away. " You were the one who asked me to behave to you like your brother. Do you not want me to behave like your brother anymore?" He asked, his voice deepening.This week's stress and anger had finally caught up to me. I felt the need to vent it out immediately. I needed to. So I replied, " N
Daniel's POV(After dinner)Where the hell is Hannah?!I stormed around the mansion looking for Hannah. I looked in her room and made sure that the door separating our rooms was not locked. I checked her bathroom for her, but she was not there. I checked my room for the third time and ran down the stairs. I had checked the dining room, the living room, and even the kitchen. I got to the bottom of the stairs and looked around to see her standing outside the balcony.I walked to her fast but slowed my pace when she stood in front of someone. " Have you finished paying for the loan?" A familiar voice sounded. Hannah shook her head fast. " And why have you not?" The voice asked. I couldn't comprehend what was going on. I also knew that I should not be eavesdropping. But I needed to know what was going on. " I...uh, my salary i...is not m...much. I...it will take a f...few more years," Hannah replied.To my surprise, Hannah's brother, Dylan, stood up towering over her. " Then how do you exp
