•Chapter 29• A Broken Woman
He woke up from his deep slumber and found no one beside him. He didn't remember when was the last time he has had a good night's sleep. He did his daily routine and got ready for the day.
He went downstairs and the first thing he did was to look for her. She was sitting in the living room dressed up in a professional outfit, her hair tied up. He furrowed his eyebrows confused out of his mind.
Her aimless gaze landed on him and she immediately stood up.
"How are you?" He asked
"I'm okay..." She answered not meeting his eyes.
"Did you have breakfast?" He asked.
She shook her head in negative. "No..."
"Come on," he said to her and she walked behind him with her head down.
Karen was already sitting at the breakfast table when Sebastian walked in with Hannah behind him. Karen eyed both of them, Sebastian didn't come to his bedroom last night and it made her think that Hannah was be

The door to Sebastian's office burst open frightening both of them. George Harding stood there like a deer caught in the headlights. The scene in front of him made his cheeks red with embarrassment. Sebastian's hair disheveled, his coat resting on the back of his seat, the first four buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned. While Hannah's shirt was wrinkled and she was trying to pull her pencil skirt down that hiked up when she straddled him. George turned to go back out but he nervously walked into his office again. He shook his head and went back outside but nervously walked inside again. He was confused and ashamed for barging into his son's office like that when he was having a private moment with his wife. "I need to fire Eric" Sebastian made a mental note. "Dad?" He was the first to break the awkward silence. "I'll come back later," George said. "Hello, Hannah, good to see you" he smiled "Mr. Harding, i
Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 31• A Little Trip
The next morning, Hannah woke up and did her daily routine. She dressed up professionally, tied her hair. She heaved a sigh and stared at herself in the mirror. Sebastian's apology from last night played in her mind over and over again. She dreamed of him saying those words to her. She wished that he'd call her Anna one more time. She yearned for his warm hugs and his sweet words and last night when he finally did all those things... She couldn't feel anything. And the thought scared her. What if she is never able to love again. She closed her eyes and reminisced about their past love life. She then remembered how he protected her when no one else did. How he always knew what she needed just by reading the look on her face. How he always knew how to cheer her up. How his presence gave her strength to endure the abuse she received. Tears poured down her face but she smiled... She smiled because she felt it... She felt her heart glowing once a
Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 32• His Apology
Sebastian looked around her office. He could clearly see that she decorated it by herself. Everything in her office was just so her... He smiled to himself. He saw pictures hanging on the wall. He walked closer and it was her mother's pictures, she indeed was her spitting image. Then there were some family pictures. Then it was her pictures with her friends and her life at NYU, some pictures of her convocation and lastly, it was him and her. His smile immediately fell and got replaced with a frown. The pictures of their young love. His mouth opened, his body didn't move, his heart pounded against his ribs as if trying to fulfill a thousand beats, his pupils dilated. Hannah had his pictures in her office. Their pictures from their first date, to high school graduation, prom, their first anniversary, when they went to the beach, everything was there. "Seb..." she whispered. "Why do you have our pictures in your offi
Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 33• Getting Better
They were back home after their little trip to New York City. Hannah finally felt relieved, the constant fear she had in her mind before wasn't there anymore. Sebastian had been nothing but cooperative to everything she wanted. Her bedroom didn't feel like a prison anymore. She knew she owe Sebastian an apology too and maybe finally tell him everything but she was afraid of his reaction. He was an impatient, impulsive, and hot-headed man. She was worried about how he may react after knowing everything. Someone knocked on the door while she was doing her hair. "Come in," she said concentrating on her hairstyle. It was difficult to tie her long, volumized hair in a bun. "Hey," Sebastian said standing behind her in the mirror. Her eyes connected with his in the mirror and a small cute smile graced her lips. "Good morning!" she said rather cheerfully as she finally put in the last bobby pin. "Mor

•The Breakup• "Hey!" he jogged to her rather cheerfully. "Hey" She replied monotonously and crossed her arms across her chest. He closed the distance between them by placing his hands on both of her cheeks and putting his lips on hers. She pulled her lips in and pushed on his chest that made him step back immediately. "What's wrong, babe?" He asked when he saw her solemn expressions She shrugged. "Everything" "What do you mean?" "This, Sebastian... Us!" She said emphasizing more on the word “us”. "Babe, is everything alright?" He asked holding her arms gently and rubbing them up and down. She jerked his hands away from her. He was taken aback by her action. "Hey... What's wrong, baby?" She went poker-faced. "We need to break up," "What?" He laughed. "Is this some kind of prank? Are getting back at me because I threw a spider on you the other day?" He chuckl
Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 35• PTSD
The smell of antiseptics, cold metal bed rails, soft pillows, crisp sheets, squeaky clean white ceiling, bland walls, and an IV attached to my arm. Definitely a hospital. I groaned as I awakened with a monster headache. I closed my eyes, fighting off nausea. I was trying to remember through the pain, how did I end up in a hospital? "Anna" Sebastian's voice fell on my ears. "S--- Seb..." "Hey, just relax..." He caressed my cheeks and I leaned into his soothing touch. "What happened?" I asked him. "You passed out at the party," he said, I could clearly see how worried he was. "Oh..." That was all I managed to say. I glanced at him and he was already looking at me with a deep frown. "It's not a big deal," I told him nonchalantly. "Anna—" He pursed his lips and squeezed his eyes shut. "Hannah, the doctors told me that you suffer from PTSD and depression..." He said with conc
Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 36• The Past
•Lewd Pictures• Eva stripped off all her clothes including her undergarments, leaving her fully bare as she lay on her bed unconscious and oblivious to everything happening to her or around her. Eva strode out of the room and gestured him to go in while she waited outside. Tucker hesitantly walked in and took off all his clothes. When he saw Hannah lying on the bed naked, he got hard. Even though he didn't want to but his body wasn't agreeing with him. He squeezed his eyes shut and looked away. He fished out his cellphone from his pant's pocket and laid down beside her unconscious body. He pulled her body on top of his. He messed up his hair and made it look like they slept together. He took naked Hannah in his arms and clicked several pictures. He kissed her and groped her filming all of it. He felt sick to his stomach for doing this to a girl he considered his sister. After he had enough leverage. He hu
Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 37• Do you love me?
"Eric, you need to let me in" Tucker pleaded for the sixth time. "Why?" Eric asked his eyes glued to his laptop's screen. "I really need to talk to Sebastian," he said "So does half of the town. I'll let you know when your time comes. According to his busy schedule, he will be able to meet you in about six years from now" Eric said still working on his laptop. "It's important!" "So is his time" Eric replied in a bored, uninterested manner. "What if Hannah's life is in danger?" Tucker asked "Then I would say that you are lying because I talked to her a second ago" Not once did he glance at Tucker. "Eva and Nancy are planning something" Tucker blurted out and that caught Eric's attention. "What do you mean? For Hannah?" "Yes..." Eric looked around and saw everyone busy with their work. He thought for a second and nodded. "Let
