Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 104 - The Calm Before The Storm
Hannah, together with Sergio, had reached the restaurant's underground parking lot. They were a few feet away from the car when they heard a male voice.A voice too familiar to her calling her name.“Hannah,” Ashton muttered softly.The sound felt like music to her ear. She can’t fathom if it's in her mind or if the voice came with the man she is thinking of.She turned around, and she immediately saw him standing near the pillar. There was an aggrieved look on his face as if he had lost something important.She wanted to call him or walk to him, but no voice came out, and her foot seemed glued to the floor.She remained motionless while staring back at him.Soon she heard him say, "You and Xander..." He stopped mid-sentence and couldn’t continue with the idea that she would go back to Xander after all Xander had done to her and after all the efforts she made to save herself.“I waited for your call… You promised you'd call me…” He smiled awkwardly and then held the back of his neck.

Katarina called her friends asking them to join and accompany her to an auction in South Dallas but to her utmost dismay, all of them declined.Leaving her with no choice but to go alone.She drove to South Dallas. Her car was still filled with her last shopping spree of angel figurines and here she is again on the way to the mall.Her playlist was playing in the background. She moves her head in sync with the music on full blast. She felt tranquil and seemed to enjoy her short trip.Soon she reaches a secluded part of the road. She notices there are no other cars aside from hers. She smiled and changed the music to her favorite song and continued driving.When the song reaches her favorite part, she closes her eyes as if she is one with the sound. Fantasizing that she’s part of its music video.Unknown to her, the beautiful melody she enjoyed would be followed by a thunderous crash followed by her car derailing into the ravine. She never saw what happened as she lost consciousness af
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 106 - Behind Her Smile (Triggering)
Hannah stared blankly into space while warm water from the shower cleaned her blood-stained skin. The sound of the water hitting the bathroom floor is loud, but she can't seem to hear anything.It's one of those days again where her mask wears off, and the real Hannah shows up. The Hannah that lost her darling daughter. The Hannah that should have run away from the start.There's a void in her that is slowly ripping her apart. Pushing her further into the abyss. To nothingness.The same abyss that forced her to leave her friends behind.The kind of state that will leave you and everyone around you feeling helpless.She could smile wide and gleeful. Chuckles loudly but deep inside her the emptiness and longing stays. No one knows that the day Bridget died, Hannah died with her. What people are seeing right now is an empty vessel whose main purpose is to share the emptiness with those who caused it.Underneath her smile is a hurting mother. Drown by guilt. Imprisoned by grief.Hungry
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 107 - The Aftermath
Denise woke up in a dingy motel. Her clothes are ripped, there are marks on her chest and bruises on her arm, and she doesn’t know where exactly she is. The only thing she has is her phone. No wallet or car keys to get home.She tries to book a cab but changes her mind. She can’t be seen outside looking like this. She tried to reach Xander again, but he was not answering.She began wailing.She felt alone, filthy, and couldn't look at herself in the mirror in the same way. MEANWHILE…At the hospital…Katarina was moved to a private room. The doctors assured them that she was no longer in danger and there were no indications of internal bleeding.Lani and Xander stood beside her waiting for her to wake up. He was too busy taking care of Katarina’s hospital needs making sure his sister would get the best treatment there was, as he knew once she woke up she wouldn’t like what she saw.All of his attention was on taking care of his sister’s needs and ensuring Lani wouldn’t make a mess
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 108 - Mother's Love
In the hospital…Xander was uncomfortably taking a nap on the couch while Lani lay on the extra bed. He had closed his eyes for 10 mins and shortly heard a whimper.He opens his eyes only to see Katarina awake.She breathes rapidly. Her eyes swiveled all over the place.She's confused. Her right arm was in a cast. Using her left hand she touched her head. “Where’s my hair? My beautiful hair?” She yelled. Disoriented, she feels unsafe. She wanted to leave the room. But she can’t seem to move her feet. Using her left hand, she removes her blanket.She gasped at what she saw. Her eyes almost rolled behind her head.She let out a guttural sound. Xander immediately ran to her and consoled her.“My left foot… Where’s my left foot?” She shouted in fright.He patted his sister’s back, “You got into an accident.""When the paramedics arrive, they have difficulty taking you out of the car.""Your hair got caught in the seatbelt, that's why they cut it.""The doctors did their best, but your

Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 109 - “Ask me how I did it…”
Seeing her daughter’s condition, Lani can’t help but think of the best way to neutralize Hannah’s leverage against her. She begins planning different things on how to harm Hannah, but the thought of Hannah’s retaliation, if her plan fails, scares her. Hesitantly, there’s only one logical way to make Hannah powerless. It’s to tell Xander the truth herself, or at least the version where she will look less vicious.Her heart is set on doing it, but her mind seems to yell that she is doing something wrong.Filled with hesitation, she called Xander to the balcony of Katarina’s ward while Katarina was having her follow-up CT scan.“Xander, I need to tell you something,” Lani uttered uneasily. He didn’t want to speak to her, but he saw on her face the severity of the topic that looked like it had been weighing on her. Hesitantly, Xander sat down and listened to Lani.Where she confesses the truth behind Charles Thompson.She sighs deeply. Her hands are fidgeting.Her stomach was churning
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 110 - Michigan
Hannah hurriedly packed her bag. The hesitation she had about attending the Class Reunion became the best option for her. She’ll use it as a reason for leaving so that Clarise and the others won’t worry about her. While Sergio and Amir will discreetly watch over them to make sure they are safe. Despite Lani telling her secret to Xander, Hannah felt something was amiss as if there was more to it. She could vividly remember the empty words she said to Lani to get her attention. ~“I wonder how you sleep at night knowing that you’re the real reason why your husband died.~ It meant nothing to Hannah but the fear in Lani’s eyes was obvious.“Once I’m out of here, I’ll have more time to investigate.” She mumbled and continued to pack her luggage. “Hannah, did the young master threaten to harm you?” Gloria asks worriedly as she watches Hannah’s frantic movements.Startled by Gloria’s sudden appearance, she almost shouted. She immediately collected herself, and shook her head, “No. Don’t wo

In the blink of an eye… Months had passed and Ashton still hadn’t proposed. He started to become busy with his company, despite that not even once did the ring leave his pocket.During that time a lot of things happened. Charles had successfully dominated the shipping business and ended Hannah’s contract. She’s free to work for any company she likes. Toby continued to visit Xander and was happy to know that he was starting to respond to psychotherapy.Lani is still in maximum prison, and she is treated like a slave by everyone. She never thought in a million years she would be pushed around like trash by women half her age. That she needed to massage someone's callus feet just to have protection from other inmates.Aside from the hellish treatments, no one had visited her ever since she moved there. Ron even stopped sending her letters. She never felt alone and helpless in her life.Meanwhile, for Clarise and Zane, the day they had been waiting to arrive. It's a love story more than a
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 161 - No manual for it
In Hannah’s ward. It was already 8 pm when Ashton returned. When he got to Hannah’s room, only Heidi was in there. “You’re back,” Hannah uttered in glee. She could sense that he was a bit calmer than before.“Have you eaten?” Heidi asked Ashton. He shook his head.“I’m buying us some food. Hannah wants some pasta. How about you? Anything particular you want?” Heidi asks. “Let me buy the food for us,” he suggested.Heidi shook his head, “You stay here. You should be resting not roaming around.” She insisted. “You kids stay here.” She added as she headed outside.He smiled and swiftly walked to Hannah to hold her hand. “I asked Clarise to buy me a hair clipper.” She blurted out while showing them to him.He narrowed his gaze, “Why?”“To cut my hair. So it will grow back the same length as my bald spot, and it would be all-natural. My hair grows back fast and it would be presentable enough at the time of Clarise and Zane's wedding. Would you help me cut my hair?” She asked as she ha

At Texas Southwestern Medical Center...“Ashton, where are you going?” Cyrene asked as she watched how his son got up from the bed and headed outside.“I want to see her. Where is she?” He replied in worry.She sighs, “She’s in the next room. Her friends are in there, and she’s still asleep. So calm yourself down. You just had 14 stitches on your chest and leg,” she explains.He shook his head, “I’m fine—”.Before he could finish his sentence, beeping sounds from the other room roared in the air, followed by shouting and cries.“Nurse!” “Nurse!” He heard Clarise and Zane’s voices in the hallway.He stood up immediately and checked what was happening.“Ashton!” Cyrene yelled, but all she could do was follow him.He entered the room next door and there she was being coaxed by Clarise and Zane to calm down.She’s having nightmares. Keeps seeing that she'll wake up in captivity and seeing a hospital ward is not helping her condition. She felt like she was still trapped in the cabin.She
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 159 - Dallas Farmhouse
After lunch, Zane and Clarise drove to one of their vendors.Zane couldn’t stop staring at his soon-to-be wife. She tried her best to smile, but she could not hide the uneasiness in her movements.He could no longer take it and finally voiced out his concerns. He closed the binder he was holding, "Do you want to postpone the wedding and wait for Hannah to return?" He asked in a soft voice.She shook her head, "She won't like that. She would hate to know that we delayed our wedding because of her. Aside from that, we have already paid for our vendors," she explained.He sighs, “I don’t want to say this... You know that... I love Hannah. She’s like a sister to me but… What kind of friend leaves her friends like that? She knew we were getting married, and she just left.” Her hands trembled. He felt fear in her. She inched close to him and glanced around the room, “The type that’s been abducted.” She said in a low voice.“Abducted?” He repeats in a louder tone.She covered his mouth imm
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 158 - You’ll be home soon
~Toby and I tried to call you, but you didn’t answer.~Ashton’s voice woke up Hannah from her slumber.“Ashton?” She called out. Her eyes expressed glee to hear his voice. She glanced around only to realize she was still trapped inside the room. ~You know I need to go back to dating~~You know I need to go back to dating~His recorded voice kept on repeating for a few more hours. Shortly, Xander arrived with a smug look on his face. “You’ve heard the recording. Ashton is back to his old ways. Drinking and partying with a random woman in the bar, like the filthy animal that he is. He'll sleep with anyone available.” He says mockingly.“Do you still think he is better than me?” He added as he caressed her face.She evaded his touch by hiding under the blanket. She remained silent. There’s a part of her happy that he is moving on with his life, but she can’t ignore the fact that it hurts so badly. It's like confirmation that she has already lost her chance to be happy.“How long am I i
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 157 - Playing God
Hannah woke up with the smell of savory food in the air.She could feel her stomach gurgling. “Are you hungry?” Xander asks her. She nods. He smiled eerily, “I made tomato soup and salad. Come get your food.” He suggested as he motioned at the table. She slowly rose from her bed, but before she could take her first step she noticed one of her feet was chained to the bed. There was confusion on her face. She slowly turned her head to him.“What games are you trying to play this time?” She asks with a trembling voice.He shrugs, “Say ‘Please’ and I'll move the table near you.” He uttered. “I will even throw on a piece of bread if you sound a little sweeter.”She doesn't want to do it, but she's hungry, thirsty, and weary. She lowered her head to hide how annoyed and angry she was, “I want to eat, please.” She uttered in a low sweet voice.He moved the table near her and then patted her head, “See, that’s not hard, is it? I knew you just needed to be retrained to be obedient. If you
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 156 - Lies Unfold
Ashton’s hands are sweating. Now that his and Clarise’s suspicions were proven correct, he needed to act fast to look for Hannah. Despite that, everything must remain in secrecy as one wrong move might alert Xander, and he might move her somewhere farther away. As he stopped his car at the intersection traffic light, he began to utilize Galvin and his team to help him search for her. He dialed Galvin and he was soon answered. “Galvin, how are we on the list of Xander's properties?” “Check your email. I just sent it to you.” He replied.“Good. I want you to do something for me. Station a person in the Miller Mansion and document any movements.” Ashton demanded.“Sure, anything else?” Galvin uttered. Ashton sighs. Something is bothering him. First is the letter, then Xander is staying in the Miller Mansion, while Hannah is in Asia.It doesn’t add up and it doesn’t make any sense. A dozen questions are inside his mind. “Did Xander threaten her to write the letter, and she chose to l

“Come on, eat your pancakes,” Xander suggested as he pushed the paper plate at her.She began stabbing her food with the plastic pork in exasperation. “What did I ever do to you for you to treat me like this? You already know the truth that I’ve saved your life and this is the thanks I get. Imprisonment in this place…” She yelled at him. He raised his arm, and she flinched in fear and shielded her head with her hand. He lowered his arm and sighed deeply. “Why won’t you just be obedient? Like before?”She laughs mockingly, “And where will it take me? Years of misery? Whatever I do, you end up hurting me.” She remarks.“You don’t understand I’m just protecting you from making more mistakes in your life.” He explains.“How about you protect me against yourself? Let me go and never show yourself ever again,” she suggested.He shook his head, “I can’t. I won’t.” He held her shoulders firmly, “You’re the only one that genuinely cares for me, and you’re the only one I have.”“I used to car
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 154 - In a Nightmare
Ashton effortlessly carried the boxes of Hannah’s files inside his room. Searching for anything that might point to where she is.But all he could find were the documents about her research into Denise, Lani, Ron, Donnie, and Hector Reese and the crimes they committed.On how she will convince Donnie to bring down Hector and Denise. While reading through the mountain of paperwork she had, he felt so proud of the effort she put through.“You are so amazing,” he mumbled.He then remembered Clarise’s words.~Someone might have threatened her.~“Xander,” he thought to himself.Soon he decided to message the investigator to get him a list of all of Xander’s property as he might have her held captive. “If he took her, could she be in the Miller Mansion?” He asked himself.Soon Toby’s statement lingered in his head.~He locked himself inside the mansion.~He starts pacing back and forth as he questions everything that has happened.“But… If that’s the case, how did he get her?
