Ashton woke up with Hannah wrapped around his arms. He had never felt the bed this warm before. Far from the one-night stand he had where the night was a blur and the morning after it was as cold as ice. “What am I thinking?” He asks himself. “I could have had meaningful relationships, but I waited for Denise to love me back, limiting myself from actually being loved.” He mumbles and slowly gets out of bed. He picked up his pants that were on the floor, rummaged into his pocket, took out the envelopes, and placed them on the nightstand. “Whatever your decision is, I’m ready for it.” He said while caressing Hannah’s head.CONCURRENTLY…In Texas…Leon went home to their apartment. He is still in a wheelchair, but his wounds seem to heal easily.“I’m home!” He yelled while Jack wheeled him inside, alerting everyone in the house.Gloria immediately walked to greet him.While Clarise stared at him from the second floor, “My peaceful mornings are now gone.” She commented. “Had Hannah ret

“Let me repeat your order. One All American Cheeseburger with ranch sauce and fries as a side. One milkshake for the lady. For you sir, one bacon burger, hot wings, and a chocolate shake.”Hannah and Ashton nod in unison.Soon the waiter left.“Don’t you find it weird that we are here right now?”“Sitting in front of each other,” she remarks.“You used to bully me—”He almost choked in his spit, “I know, and I regret it.” He says as he drinks water.She smiled, “Look at us now. Who would have thought we'd get along and that you are a nice guy? Despite being a playboy.”He wipes his mouth, “I never had a serious relationship.”“I never looked for one and no one obligated me to be in one."He shrugs."I guess I set their expectations too low.” “The longest I have was a fling that lasted two months.”He pointed out.She nods, “Now I’m one of your flings.” She giggles.He grinned awkwardly, “I never introduced anyone to my family. I made myself free from commitment, so I could roam around
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 116 - Blast From the Past
Denise left the hospital with a smile on her face. She never thought that her acting would work with Lani or so she thought. Back in the hospital…“Mom, I know what you are doing. You are really smart.” Katarina remarks gleefully.Lani smirked, “There’s nothing scarier than a woman losing everything to another woman. Let them fight each other while we set the main stage to cut them off for good. I don’t want to see both of them near Xander.” She stated with exasperation while holding her forehead.Katarina puffed, “Right. Once that happened, I wanted Hannah’s hair and her left foot. As for Denise, maybe her eyes.” She said eerily.Lani slowly stared at her daughter. Her words put a slight fear and discomfort into her.CONCURRENTLY…In Lansing, Michigan…Ashton parked the car near a ranch-style house. The house has white walls and a roof, while the door and windows are painted black. She glimpsed at him, “It's a nice house.” She muttered but couldn’t overcome the feeling of awkwardnes

Raymond did not disappoint, his garlic-buttered chicken with mashed potatoes and salad was to die for.After dinner, Minerva went into her room while Hannah, Ashton, Heidi, and Raymond continued chatting over red wine.“I have an idea,” Raymond uttered while swirling his wine.All eyes were on him, waiting for his idea. He took his time before he continued speaking and they watched how he took a sip of his wine.“What if tomorrow we go to the mall and get our picture taken? A new family photo.” He suggested.Heidi gasped in excitement and then turned her head to Hannah.“Of course. I think we have time before going back to Texas.” She replied while nudging Ashton.He gave her a faint smile.“Then that is settled. We should sleep early so we look fresh in our family photo.” Raymond exclaimed while motioning to them to finish drinking. Later in the night.Hannah and Ashton stayed in the guest room. They lay close facing each other in the full-sized bed. Ashton grinned while caressing h
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 118 - Ashton's Rant
The next day…Hannah woke Minerva and Ashton to have breakfast while Heidi called for Raymond.In the dining area. Ashton and Raymond couldn’t stop staring at each other as if signaling one another to say something, but none of them spoke.Shortly, Minerva nonchalantly blurted out, “Why are your eyes puffy? Did you cry last night? You know it's picture day.” She pointed out as she continued to shove bacon in her mouth.The two men felt tense and couldn’t help but glance away.While Hannah and Heidi found it endearing how they reacted.Both women laughed it off.“Oh, Minerva. Your intrusive thoughts never failed to amaze me.” Heidi uttered. “Don’t worry, we can put cold spoons under our eyes to remove this puffiness.” Later in the day…At the photo studio…The photographer starts to give them pointers on where to stand, sit, and how to project.The first set of images are of Heidi and Raymond. Then Raymond, Heidi, and Minerva. Hannah stared at her mother. She saw how happy she was w
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 119 - What if?
Denise began scrolling on her father’s phone in search for a person she could hire to take care of Hannah.“Lani gave me another chance to make it right and I won’t miss this opportunity.” Denise uttered to herself. Her eyes lit up as she saw a familiar name. “Donnie Hawk.” She mumbled as she recollected who he was.Donnie used to be Hector's most trusted right-hand man, and he has a big debt to their family. He resigned after starting his own family. Despite that, he swore that he would be loyal to the Reese family.“Let’s see how far your loyalty can go.” She whispered as she sent Donnie a message. MEANWHILE…In the dead of night, the Monroe private jet soared into the sky.“So… What are you planning to do with this information?” Ashton asked anxiously while staring at the letter and necklace in Hannah’s hand.She shrugged, “I haven’t decided yet. I hope you won’t tell him about it.” She stated while looking at him in all seriousness.He could see the severity of her request. He no
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 120 - Name Your Price...
The Monroe private jet descended on Dallas Texas Airport.The moment the tires touched the ground, Hannah felt the skin on her back rise. Nervous for a reason she couldn't explain.She clenched her pounding chest, “I felt like something bad was about to happen,” she thought to herself. She took a glimpse of Ashton and felt guilty and, as if he could read her mind, he addressed the thought troubling Hannah. He smiled bitterly, “I guess our vacation is ending now. We must act normal again when we get out of this aircraft.” He pointed out.She nods. She opened her mouth but no words came out. Her eyes remained fixed blankly staring into space.As if on cue she felt her phone vibrate and it was not stopping. “It's probably a call. A call at this hour.” She asks herself. Curious, she took her phone out of her pocket. They both saw the call was from Xander.“As if Xander knew you were back,” Ashton commented, there was a tinge of bitterness in his voice.She giggles, “He has been messagi
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 121 - Unpaid Debts
Denise, Xander, and Toby are still in the bar drinking when Xander receives a message from Clive.~Miss Smith’s car just left the airport.~A smile escaped from his lips, “So she's back. That means I'm going to see her pretty soon. This time I’ll make it right.” He thought to himself. His face conveys mystery.A look that both Toby and Denise notice.“Xander is really different today. He let me sit next to him. I tried making subtle advances and he seemed doesn't care. He seems to value me as his savior more today than ever. “ She pondered.Soon an idea came to mind. “I hate to admit it but maybe it's time to ask him for more favors. I’ll take advantage of this savior title.” She mumbles.She inches closer. “Xander, I know this is so much to ask but is it possible for the Miller group to take Reese Realty as their contractor? It would mean a lot to me. You SAVING your SAVIOR from total ruin.” She asks nicely while emphasizing words that would trigger him to agree.Xander glanced at her

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.

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

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? If she’s in A
