Chapter 30

Penulis: Sweet Cotton Candy
The night outside had grown darker and heavier. At some point, the sky had turned completely black.

Hansen stared at his phone's black screen with an extremely stormy expression. Nancy hadn't contacted him all day!

She really was brushing off everything he said like it meant nothing. Or... was she actually planning to divorce him?

Sitting on the bed, Hannah watched him silently. Then, she said with reddened eyes and a pitiful tone, "Hanny, maybe we should just let it go.

"I'm not that fragile. I don't need Ms. Nancy to apologize... Someone like me is used to being treated this way."

Hansen's face darkened even more. He stood up abruptly.

"Things can't be left like this. Nancy nearly caused you to miscarry—everyone saw it! I'm going to bring her here right now and make her apologize. You deserve justice!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Hansen turned and stormed out. Hannah watched him leave, and there was a trace of something unreadable flickering in her eyes.

  • Forgiveness? Over My Dead Body   Chapter 1

    Hansen Holland fell for Nancy Shaw at first sight. He only won her heart after proposing a hundred times. However, shortly after their marriage, she received photos of him being intimate with a woman whose face had been blurred.Hansen's lover even got ahold of Nancy's number and started sending her challenging messages!On Hansen and Nancy's first wedding anniversary, Hansen's lover gave Nancy a live stream of herself being intimate with Hansen.This time, Nancy abandoned her previous stubbornness and disappeared after erasing her identity.After her departure, Hansen offered rewards worldwide to find her. When he finally did and came running in tears, he saw her in the arms of a younger man who was kissing her passionately.The younger man said, "Cry louder, jerk. She's my wife now, and she kicked you to the curb ages ago!"…"Are you sure you want to erase everything about yourself, Ms. Shaw? If you cancel your citizenship, you'll cease to exist in Walveria. No one will be ab

  • Forgiveness? Over My Dead Body   Chapter 2

    Nancy's expression shifted. She hastily said, "I don't need that!"She knew carrying her was something Hansen could do, but she didn't want him to so much as touch her right now. She backed away at that thought.Disappointment flashed across Hansen's face. He thought she was still mad over what had happened last night. "Alright, then. I'll wait for you downstairs."Once he was gone, Nancy clenched her fists tightly while telling herself she had to tolerate this. She just needed to wait a little longer—she could leave in 15 days once everything was erased. Before then, she didn't want anything to go wrong. After all, she wouldn't be able to leave if Hansen insisted on keeping her in Jarton City.She took a deep breath at that thought and freshened up before leaving the room. However, before she got to the living room, she heard Hansen's charming voice ring out. "Stop that. I don't have time to be with you today."A coquettish and displeased voice came from the other end of the li

  • Forgiveness? Over My Dead Body   Chapter 3

    Nancy's eyes widened, and she clutched her phone tightly. She felt like a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her. Her blood ran cold, and she felt frozen.The comments went nuts, but people who had dropped by the live stream didn't believe Hannah."She's just bragging. How can someone just gift an amusement park like that?""She also said her mysterious boyfriend gave her Luscombe Manor, but she couldn't show us the deed. I bet even this boyfriend is fake!"Hannah looked aggrieved. "Why don't you guys believe me?"She pulled two property deeds from her bag. "This is the property deed for this amusement park, and this is for Luscombe Manor. Why would I lie about these things? My boyfriend loves me to bits!"The amusement park couldn't compare to Luscombe Manor in terms of value—the manor was worth at least 500 million dollars.Hannah's fans went mad again while Nancy remained frozen. Hansen had given Luscombe Manor, which Nancy had been eyeing for a long time, to Hanna

    Hansen released Nancy without waiting for her to calm down. He bent down to pick up her phone. However, before he could touch it, she grabbed his arm.He turned to look at her. She felt panicked on the inside but didn't let it show. Instead, she said, "Don't change the subject because of a scam call, Hansen. How did you know about me selling 'Only One' and the wedding ring? Did you go to the Anhall Charity Auction?"The call disconnected as soon as the words were out of her mouth.Hansen couldn't care less about who had called Nancy when he heard that. His expression took on a hint of awkwardness and diffidence. "I missed our wedding anniversary last night and had to leave because of work today, so I thought of buying you a few trinkets to make you happy."Nancy's heart clenched. Had he been trying to make her happy or make Hannah happy?He looked aggrieved. "Are you that mad that I've been absent for the past two days, Nance? Do you know how scared I was when I saw 'Only One' and

    As Hansen leaned in again, Nancy grew even more anxious and was just about to push him away. Suddenly, his phone started buzzing.Nancy jumped back like someone drowning who had just found a lifeline. She quickly put some distance between them and blurted out, "Your phone's ringing! Take the call!"Hansen's eyes darkened when he saw her reaction. The desire in his eyes quickly faded. However, a strange wave of frustration washed over him. His expression darkened as he answered the phone. "Spill it!"There was a brief pause before the person on the other end chuckled. "Damn, Hansen, what's with the attitude? Got into a fight with Nancy? Come on, bring her out! We're all waiting for you at the usual spot!"That was Nigel Zoeller's voice.Nancy knew Nigel was Hansen's childhood sidekick, and she quietly pressed her lips together. A subtle wave of relief washed over her."I'm not going," Hansen said flatly, glancing at Nancy on purpose. "I pissed Nance off. She's not coming out wi

  • Forgiveness? Over My Dead Body   Chapter 6

    Nancy felt like a giant invisible hand had clamped down on her heart. Her gaze locked straight onto Hansen's face, but before she could even gather herself, Hansen let out a cold, cruel laugh. He spat, "What? Are you planning to steal her from me now that I'm into this one in my lap, Gavin? Go ahead. Someone else already defiled Nancy anyway—I haven't even laid a hand on her."Nancy's eyes widened in shock as his words ripped through her like shards of glass. It felt like her whole body had been plunged into a freezing pit, and even her breath caught in her throat.She had known Hansen didn't really love her anymore, but she never imagined he would drag her deepest pain and fear into the light like that—especially not in front of everyone.After all, that pain and fear represented the humiliation she had suffered during her childhood.Her eyes turned red, brimming with unshed tears, as she stared at Hansen's once-handsome face, which was now laced with disdain.Her chest ached l

    Gavin's chest tightened painfully. He couldn't remain rational any longer. So, he finally let out the words that had been buried deep inside him for years.Nancy stared at him for a moment before letting out a laugh that carried a sting of irony. "Would you marry me then, Gavin?""As long as you give me the chance!" Gavin answered instantly. His eyes lit up, though his face stayed serious and steady."Cece, I met you first. I was planning to confess to you back in college... I just didn't get the timing right. But it's not too late. I swear, I'd never hurt you."Nancy retorted, "Really? Hansen broke his promise, so what makes you think you won't?"She grabbed Gavin's wrist and yanked his hand away once again before snapping, "You think you're the picture of loyalty, don't you? But if you really loved me, you would've confessed to me back in college."Let's be real—you chose to weigh the pros and cons more, meaning you care about yourself more than me."That was why Gavin should

  • Forgiveness? Over My Dead Body   Chapter 8

    Nancy's mind went completely blank, and it felt like someone had ripped her heart straight out of her chest. The pain was unbearable—sharp, suffocating, and final. Hannah was actually pregnant.Nancy had already suspected this day would come, but seeing it happen still crushed her. She watched as Hansen gently supported Hannah, his eyes filled with worry and fear. Those emotions had never shown up in his eyes before. It was as if he was terrified something might happen to her.Hannah said with a smile, "Hanny, don't be so nervous. I'm not that fragile, you know..."But Hansen immediately snapped, "What do you mean you're not fragile? You're carrying my baby."Hearing that, Hannah's face lit up with a sweet, giddy smile she could not hide. She was just about to say something else when her gaze landed on someone nearby—and her expression instantly changed."Mrs. Holland? What are you doing here?" she asked.Hansen followed her line of sight. There stood Nancy—pale as a ghost. H

    "Ahhh! Mrs. Holland pushed Mr. Hansen's companion down the stairs!""Oh my god, is that woman pregnant? Is she having a miscarriage? There's so much blood!"Hansen and Gavin immediately stopped their argument and rushed out. They saw Hannah now surrounded by a crowd. She was lying pale on the ground while a pool of blood spread beneath her.Nancy stood calmly on the second floor and watched everything with cold eyes."Nancy Shaw, what the hell are you doing? How could you do this? This is murder!"Hansen pushed through the crowd. He picked up Hannah, who was on the verge of passing out from the pain, and glared furiously at Nancy.Nancy showed no panic. Hearing Hansen's accusation, she replied indifferently, "It's Nigel's child. Why are you the one so worked up?"Hansen was livid. "You—""Enough arguing! Let's get her to the hospital now!" Nigel interjected urgently.Clenching his jaw, Hansen shot one last furious glare at Nancy before turning and carrying Hannah away.After

    Hannah immediately sensed something was wrong and instinctively tugged at Hansen's hand. "Mr. Holland, my stomach—"Before she could finish the word "hurts", Nigel answered truthfully, "Jacob's notorious for being despicable and shameless in the industry. He's got some business sense, but his reputation is terrible. "Why are you asking about him?""Oh? Why am I asking?" Gavin sneered, his gaze shifting to Hansen.Hansen seemed to realize something. His face turned pale as he stared at Nancy while his heart pounded violently. "Cece, Jacob wouldn't dare, right?"Nancy didn't answer directly. Instead, she looked at Hansen. Her clear eyes were filled with nothing but mockery."Does it matter? Weren't you too busy to stay back then?"Hansen's heart raced, and he could no longer hold back. He rushed forward and grabbed Nancy's hand. "Let's go home…"Nancy, however, forcefully shook off his hand and took two steps back. Her expression was now cold and distant."I'm Gavin's date toda

  • Forgiveness? Over My Dead Body   Chapter 27

    Nancy responded indifferently, "It has been a while since I've dressed like this."Gavin noticed Nancy's low spirits, especially the dark circles under her eyes, and sensed something was wrong. It was clear she and Hansen had argued.Avoiding the topic, Gavin stood up with a smile. "Let's head to the banquet. The traffic might be bad today."An hour later, when Gavin escorted Nancy into the venue, they immediately drew everyone's attention."Oh my, Mr. Fenwick brought a stunning beauty to Mr. Fenwick Senior's birthday banquet. I was planning to introduce my sister to him!""That beauty looks so familiar... Wait, isn't that Mrs. Holland, Nancy Shaw?""Why didn't Mr. Holland bring Mrs. Holland himself? Instead, Mr. Fenwick is the one accompanying her. I get it—Mr. Holland must want to have it all."By the end of their whispers, the group exchanged knowing smiles, their gazes toward Nancy filled with mockery and amusement.Nancy noticed their stares and slightly furrowed her brows

    Hannah wore a look of wounded innocence. "Hanny, you left your phone at home... I was scared you might lose control and do something to Ms. Nancy…"Hansen froze for a moment. Nancy's pale, devastated face flashed through his mind again, and a sharp, relentless pain clawed at his chest.Hannah gently took Hansen's hand in hers. "Hanny, you love Ms. Nancy so much. She's just confused right now. She'll come back to you one day. I'm sure of it."Hansen's expression darkened once more. He abruptly raised his head and stared at Hannah. Hannah threw her arms around him with red-rimmed eyes."Hanny, you and Ms. Nancy just have too many misunderstandings. Why don't I go talk to her? We're both women—maybe I can speak her language... mmm!"Her words were cut off mid-sentence. She hadn't expected Hansen to kiss her so suddenly, but she quickly gave in as she tilted her head to accept his rough kiss.Just then, her eyes flicked upward toward the second floor. She could see Nancy watching fro

    Hansen yanked off the coat covering Nancy and saw that two buttons on her white blouse had popped open. Even the shoulder of her shirt was torn.Furious, Hansen grabbed Nancy by the throat. "Nancy Shaw, you slut! All I asked was for you to sign the contract, and you actually dared to seduce Gavin behind my back?"If I hadn't sent a detective to follow you, I wouldn't have known you were cheating on me!"Nancy's breathing grew labored, and her face turned pale and then purplish. She listened to Hansen's words and sneered. "Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"He had left her with a scumbag like Jacob just to go looking for Hannah!Hansen clearly misunderstood. He never expected Nancy to admit to it.All reason left him, especially he thought of the photos of Nancy and Gavin embracing, with Nancy disheveled and wearing Gavin's coat.Hansen slammed Nancy down onto the couch and began tearing at her blouse. "You slut! You won't let me touch you, but it's alright for Gavin?"Are you

    Hannah's expression froze on her face. In the next second, she saw Hansen giving her a sharp glare."Am I wrong?" he asked. "You're not dreaming of the possibility that I'll marry you because of the child, right?"At the end of his speech, his tone was ice cold.She instantly became nervous. "No, that's not what I was implying… I won't forget the agreement between us, Mr. Holland."He wanted her to bear his child, and he would then ensure that she became a hit in the entertainment industry."Good," he said, after which he promptly shifted her onto the couch and stood up."You sprained your foot, so you should take good care of your body for now, and you can return to acting once you've given birth," he said in a commanding tone.Anyone could tell that he was not joking.If not for the fact that Nancy was unwilling to let him lay a hand on her, he would not have found himself another woman to bear his child.Seeing as he was about to leave, she grabbed his hand and raised her h

    Almost at the same time that Nancy found herself being embraced, a fist went flying toward Jacob before he could even make sense of the situation.He yelped in pain and took two steps back, then collapsed embarrassingly to the floor. He immediately started cursing loudly."Damn it! Who ruined my—M-Mr. Fenwick!"Seeing Gavin holding Nancy in his arms gave Jacob such a fright that he sobered up immediately.Gavin recalled how he had been passing by when he heard voices coming from inside the room. He had opened the door to find that it was indeed Nancy, but he had also seen Jacob attempting to tear off her top and saying outrageous things to her.He took off his coat and draped it around her shoulders. When he took in her pale face, he felt his heart clench in distress and reached out to pat her head."Don't be afraid. I'm here. You can leave this matter to me and step out first," he said reassuringly.He then strode toward Jacob, who looked fearfully at his menacing figure. Gavin

  • Forgiveness? Over My Dead Body   Chapter 22

    Nancy's expression darkened instantly. As she looked at Jacob, who had a look in his eyes that gave her the creeps, she felt nothing but bitterness.That bastard, Hansen!He actually left her behind to sign the contract with a shady person like Jacob in order to meet with Hannah!Was Hannah that important to him?She walked over to retrieve her bag with a cold expression on her face. However, Jacob grabbed her slender wrist.His eyes were filled with greed as he took a whiff of her natural fragrance. "What's the meaning of this, Mrs. Holland? You aren't planning to take your bag and leave, are you? Mr. Holland left the signing of the contract to you, you know."Feeling the warmth of the touch on her wrist, she shook him off in disgust.With a sour expression, she asked, "Did you drink too much, Mr. Sumners? Or do you need me to call Hansen over right now to sign the contract with you?"At the end of the day, she was still Hansen's wife in name, but this bastard still dared to m
