•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.

•Anna?• A little girl sat next to her mother on the grass playing with her dolls. All her attention was on sewing new clothes for her dolls while her mother helped her with the needles. "Hannie bear, we are in a park. Why don't you go and play with the other kids" her mother said to her running her fingers through her daughter's long hair. "But I want to play with my dolls, mommy" she whined in her tiny voice. "You can play with your dolls at home too but here you should go and play with other kids, socialize, make friends" The little girl furrowed her eyebrows and looked around. She saw lots of kids playing around in the park. Some were on the swings, some on the slides, and some were playing with mud. She got terrified of them. They were so many. She was a shy and sensitive girl. She didn't have many friends. She was just like her father when he was little. Reserved and shy.She looked back

"I think... I think we should get a divorce, Sebastian.." Listening to her words, he staggered back brokenly. "Hannah... I love you" he whispered "Seb... It's what I want" He nodded, he felt a tear sliding down his cheek and he wiped it hastily. "Okay... If that's what you want then... Then I'll sign the papers right away." "I've signed them..." She mumbled He sharply inhaled. He felt like his heart had been ripped out. He stared at her with a sense of loss so powerful that it felt difficult to breathe. It was his fault and now he had to deal with the result of his actions. She walked to her room and he followed her, his mind numb, his muscles numb, his heart numb. When they were in her room, she picked up the divorce papers from the nightstand and handed them to him. He took them with trembling hands and stared at her signature at
Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 40• Heart to Heart
She went back to her father's house to spend a day before leaving. At least, that is what she told Sebastian. Sebastian didn't want her father to know about their divorce. He wanted her to leave first. Mason was a manipulative man. He wanted to make sure, she was safe and sound with her friends first then he will tell everyone. Mason and his parents. "Why do you even want to spend time here in the first place?" His voice had a hint of annoyance. "Just missing dad..." She lied. "You know you are getting pretty good at lying but your lower lips still twitch a little" He teased. She frowned. "No, it does not and I am not lying" "Right," he scoffed. She shrugged. "I was getting bored at home" "I told you to share my workload but your lazy ass doesn't listen" Her mouth hung open in surprise. "I am not lazy and you are late, go!" "I'm the boss" He answered smugly.&

They peacefully had lunch but Jackson discreetly kept giving Hannah dirty suggestive looks. She was disgusted by his behavior, her appetite long gone. After being done, Mason gracefully wiped his lips with a napkin. "Hannah, come on, I'll drop you at Sebastian's office. I have some work there" "No, I'll stick around a bit longer," she said confidently. Jackson eyed her suspiciously, thinking what trick she had up her sleeve. Mason frowned. "Are you sure?" "Yes, dad" After Mason reluctantly left, Hannah gave Jackson a once-over and strode straight to her bedroom. As she entered she left the room unlocked and waited for him. She knew that piece of shit will follow her now. He thought she was vulnerable because she was alone. She stood facing her window. The door opened and closed behind her. She clenched her jaw and took a deep breath. "And here I thought I was the one who c

•Revenge• ••TWO YEARS AFTER HANNAH LEFT•• "Where is it?" He shouted running a hand through his messy hair. His mother came running behind him as he turned his room upside down looking for something. He flipped off the mattress from the bed and pulled out all of his clothes from his closet. "WHERE DID YOU PUT IT?!" He shouted at his mother and she flinched. "Sebastian, my baby boy, it's for the best" She cried helplessly as she followed him around his room. "No, I need it, I need it, I NEED IT!" He frustratedly pulled on his hair. He slapped his face multiple times, and then scratched his cheeks. Florence held his hands in hers trying to stop him from hurting himself. He harshly pulled his mother in for a hug. "I will kill myself, mum. Please, I can't live without it" He cried over her shoulder. "Please, mum, just this last time. I promise then I'll stop..." He sobbed hysterically like

She packed her bags and descended the stairs. Reynolds came behind her with her luggage. She saw Sebastian standing there, his hands in his pockets as he stared at the wall mindlessly. She approached him. "Sebastian..." "Hmm?" He asked, staring at nothing in particular. "I... Just wanted to say... Thank you for everything. I couldn't have done it without you." She said, tucking her hair behind her ear. He turned towards her and gazed at her face mindlessly. He wanted to hold her, hug her, kiss her, love her but he just smiled sadly. He looked down at the ground and then back at her. "You would have..." He said. "You didn't need me. You always had it in you, Hannah. You did that all by yourself, I did nothing." She smiled and stared into his eyes. He was trying to avoid eye contact with her. He looked everywhere but her face. Reynolds came and opened the car door for her. She looked between th

••ANOTHER MONTH LATER•• Hannah and Luke walked out of the C&W to get lunch. John joined them and kissed Luke. "Aw, look at you two" Hannah fangirled over her best friend's relationship. She was their biggest hype-women. A second later, Pearl came running out of the building as well. "Hey! Don't leave without me!" She shrieked as she caught up with them. They all bickered over where to eat and who will pay for it. It was their thing. A lunch ritual. It started when they were in college and they still hadn't let go of it. "Hannah..." Someone called her. She turned to her side and saw the person she never thought she'd ever see again. Hannah's smile fell and got replaced with a confused, bewildered look. "Karen..." She breathed out. It had been almost a year since Hannah last saw her. She suddenly remembered the day Sebastian threw her out of his house and everyth

The next morning, Hannah woke up and stretched her body. She lazily strolled to the bathroom. After showering, she stepped down the stairs to eat something. She was famished as the night before she didn't have anything. Her nostrils filled with the lingering fumes of frying bacon. She followed the delicious smell and came into their dining room. She made her way to the table and slid into a seat. Mason came a few moments later and joined his daughter. Hannah frowned. "Where's Eva? I hadn't seen her since I came back" Mason glanced at her as the staff served them breakfast. "We got divorced" Hannah's eyes widened. "When?" "After you left..." "You've been living here alone since then?" Hannah asked, her heart suddenly feeling heavy for her father. "I have always been alone" He shrugged nonchalantly as he cut into his omelet. Hannah pursed his lips. "But still it must
