HANNAH'S POVMy eyes met with Naomi, she looked away immediately the moment our eyes met. Zachary was talking to her so I just watched as he exchanged contacts with her. "Isn't that Naomi Kenworth ?" I heard a mummur. Of course what's a party without gossipers."I heard she went for rehab after her last sexual offense." A vein popped on the side of my head.The reason she went to rehab was because she committed another offense ?She's supposed to be in jail not rehab."Zachary must have taken an interest in her, do you think he's leaving Hannah for her ?" I turned my back to see who's mouth that bullshit was coming out from. They immediately turned away and pretended like they didn't have anything to do with their useless gossiping. I left Eli who was already engrossed in a discussion with some woman.I walked up to Zachary and hugged him from behind."Zachary darling, how long do we have to be here. Don't keep me waiting." I casually glanced to Naomi and shot her death glares. "Hanna
ZACHARY'S POV"Why are you wearing contacts ?" Hannah walked down the fleet of stairs. Today was her first day of work. The first thing I noticed as she grace down the stairs is her eyes.They are blue."The photoshoot I'm doing today requires blue contacts." She explained. She isn't at work yet so she definitely doesn't need blue contacts."You're not at work yet, take them off." She snorts, breathing into a cynical laugh until she noticed my stone hard expression. "Oh you're serious." She paused when she got away from the stairs."I'm not taking them off, I already told you why I'm wearing them." She explained. I understand, but it's so weird seeing her with blue eyes."How long are you going to be wearing them ?" I asked. "I don't know, ask Darrin and stop being a dick about me wearing contacts." She goes to pick up her phone. "Does this have anything to do with calling your eyes charming ? What's wrong if I find them charming ?" I questioned."That's not something you say to someo
HANNAH'S POVI've been on the run from the paparazzi. Right now I'm walking with Darrin to get to my next scheduled photoshoot in disguise. The place was close to where we resided so we concluded in going there in disguise. My hair was wrapped under a scarf, I had dark shades, to hide the color of my eyes. Zachary has a hat over his head with a huge cap as well. With his bag beside me we both looked like a young couple having a look around the entire landscape."I can believe we had to result to this." Darrin said frankly disappointed. He had tried to help but every band of paparazzi came rushing to us, he was always separated from me, he felt useless but everytime I kept reminding him that he was the best."I think this is fun. It reminds me when I had to disguise myself when going to school." Darrin hummed. "So you were also popular in school as well ?" Darrin sound unsurprised. "Up until college. I miss those days when nobody knew me. The moment I graduated I became known to the wo
ZACHARY'S POVMaybe starting a war wasn't the best idea. But I don't regret it. "You want to do what ?" I made sure my voice wasn't so loud, I didn't want to scare Hannah away. Why was I even worried about that ?Hannah repeats her self. "I want to go look for Lilly, she hasn't been showing up since the war started. I need to know if she isn't dead yet." She stood opposite next to me while I sat down. She could have stared me down but chose to avoid eye contact. That means she isn't planning to run away but I needed to pull her legs a little. "So, you're still working for Ephraim admist the war ?" Her eyes widened in shock, that's what I expected."No. I haven't heard from my uncle since the war started. This is of my own will." She said, her face said otherwise. "It doesn't seem to be of your own will, are you perhaps doing it for some one ?" She nodded. "It's for James, since the war started he's been trying to contact all three of his family but they're unresponsive. For now he's o
HANNAH'S POV"You didn't think we would ever meet did you ?" My body was burning. The face he had was written with pride. How did I get into this ?Oh I remember, that bitch Lilly sold me out so that the moment I found her. If I do get out of this, I'll give Lilly a taste of her own medicine, I'd kill her even. But why did I have to confront Christian of all people why couldn't it be uncle ? I'll gladly accept running into him than this psychopath. This is all James fault, the next time I see him I'm gonna kill him too."Quiet ?" Christian mutter back to me, I tried to get a glimpse of my surroundings. The last thing I could remember was helping Lilly out of trouble. She claimed to have stolen something to sell at the black market and like a fool I offered to help and what did I get ? I was drugged.She gave me a drink and I'm definitely sure it wasn't alcohol, it was a spiked. If I remembered the name of the drug correctly it's sedane. It makes someone feel as if they are drunk but
ZACHARY'S POVShe had blood on her hands and tears streamed down her cheek. "What happened to not killing Damien ?" "Didn't I tell you I'd die for you ?""I didn't want to but this is the repercussion I was talking about. But you didn't listen." I gasped waking up almost immediately from that nightmare. It was already morning and another day of Hannah going missing.I got out of bed got dressed and walked over to Hannah's room. Since she moved here we've been sleeping in different bedrooms. She was like a roommate because we mostly spent most of our time together and after a good day's work we both head to our room.I had one last look at her room and left.I got dressed in my formal attire, Tammy arrived and picked me up. She gave me an entire run down of what was happening with the company."Your mother threatens to pull out if Hannah won't be available anymore." The mention of Hannah brought me back to reality, I was zoning out the entire time."We should do something about this s
HANNAH'S POV"What's the catch ?" I asked. "You're letting me live for a reason. What's your true intention ?" I mutter."Nothing, I just think death is way too easy for you." I see he wants me to be tortured, possibly to death."I'm beginning to think Christian is more of a human than you Zachary. Everything you are doing and have been doing doesn't make sense. Why did you really accept a contract marriage with me in the first place ?" He just stood there stale. He stretch out his hand, I looked at him hard."Are you going to stand there and wait for security to find out you killed the host's father ?" I sighed and walked to take his hand. He proceeds to plants a kiss on my forehand, his lips still pecks my forehand while he raised his head to look at me."I accepted a marriage contract because I was curious mostly. You peaked my curiosity up till now, so till I finally understand what actually peaked it, I don't plan on letting you go." I can't help but find his words confusing. On
ZACHARY'S POVThe minute we left Sinclair's party, Naomi informed us she'll be staying behind at the party, she said something about needing more time to gather something, I guess it was for the case. Kerry followed us to have a talk with Hannah. We didn't completely leave the residence but the house.I sat down in my car watching the both of them hold a conversation. Kerry looked like she's been neglected while Hannah still put on a calm persona.Kerry was probably telling her to stop ignoring her calls while Hannah still stubbornly claimed she wasn't.I leaned on my steering wheel, my eyes unconsciously moved back and forth depending who got to talk next. My eyes wondered longer on Hannah. Soon enough I forgot I was feeding my eyes with that task to keep myself from getting bored.Hannah's eyes unexpectedly lands on mine for a quick second and she quickly averts her gaze back to Kerry and proceeds to bite her lips nervously.I think they finally talked it out when they both warmly e
