Ashton’s welcome party was one of the best nights of his life. His family is complete. The mansion is filled with his oldest friend and his newfound friends and a woman he never knew would complete him. As the night progressed, Clarise became intoxicated, as she enjoyed the expensive wine from the Monroe collection. She's so hammered that she can no longer stand straight. Leon could not stop himself from laughing, “You’ve overdone yourself, sis,” he muttered sarcastically.Shortly after, they heard the sound of metal hitting a glass. It's Asher trying to get everyone's attention.~DING!~DING!~DING!Asher cleared his throat, “Everyone. I don't want to spoil Ashton's night but… Before we end the party I want to tell you all that I'm heading back to Europe tomorrow morning.” He declared as he lifted his wine glass and drank its contents. “Already?” Alfie asked.Asher laughs, “I miss my wife and kids. What can I say, but don't worry, we’ll be here on Christmas and New Year.” He exclai
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 146 - Uninvited Guest
Clive arrives at the Miller Group where Xander meets him in the parking lot. His face expressed resentment, “I want you to hire certain professionals,” he said in a firm voice as he handed a piece of paper to Clive. “I don’t care how much they cost. Make sure they will sign NDA and no one should trace it back to me. The Monroes have eyes everywhere.”Clive gladly took the paper and checked its contents. His eyes immediately widened.“What is he planning to do?” He thought to himself.He knew better and did not question Xander’s request.“When do you need these people?” He asks nicely.“The first 3 on the list hire them as soon as possible, and I want them on standby. The others I’ll let you know, but you can start to look for the best candidates.” He explains with an eerie grin on his lips.Clive gulped down slowly and, for the first time, Xander Miller’s viciousness frightened him. “He is about to go all in,” he says as he drives away from the building.MEANWHILE…In the jewelry sto
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 147 - Awkward Lunch
The supposedly happy lunch date was filled with awkward silence. Hannah and Ashton could only stare at each other while trying to savor the food in front of them. They can’t talk about work or personal life as Xander is with them, and he has no plans to leave. He kept reaching for her hand but she kept evading his touch. The tension increases as time passes by. Xander sliced his steak and then offered to feed her.“Come on have a taste,” he demanded as he wiggled his fork in front of her. She felt uncomfortable and unsure how to react.Ashton saw how her body stiffened in tension and uneasiness. He hates to see her that way. He wants to stand up and punch Xander in the face till he becomes unrecognizable, but he knows too well that in his current condition, he will cause more damage to himself than to Xander. “I’m sorry. I’m so useless.” He mumbled to himself while looking at Hannah apologetically.Without saying any words, she understood his gaze. She’s about to give in to Xander’s
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 148 - A Dreadful Feeling of Failure
Inside the Miller Group…Yuri entered Xander’s office with a pile of documents in his hands. Documents that detail the unaccounted shares. He handed the proof of his long tedious work to Xander, who seemed to be indifferent to his efforts.He cleared his throat, while Xander remained seated in his chair. “Sir, upon checking, there were 20% shares purchased by 20 different dummy companies from the Cayman Islands during the 3 days the company’s stocks went down.”Xander propped his hand on the table, “Do we know who were the owners of these companies?”Yuri nodded and swallowed slowly. His hands were shaking, palms sweating. “Should have taken that seminar about ‘how to deliver bad news’.” He said to himself.Hearing no response from his secretary, Xander began to lose his cool.“Yuri!” He yelled in exasperation.“So... sorry, sir.” He uttered in fear.He coughs as he loosens his tie and unbutton the top part of his shirt. Words seemed to evade him. He is having difficulty breathing.

Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 150 - New York
~Is it possible to make us official?~Ashton's question lingered in the pin-drop silent room. Hannah smiled awkwardly and was unsure how to answer.He touched his forehead and chuckled lightly, “We've been exclusively dating and…” He glanced at her and saw the shock on her face.“It's okay if you are not ready. I could wait…” He explains. He noticed the tension on her face never left, and then it dawned on him.“Are you afraid I would cheat on you?”"Because I'm a playboy."“...I’ve slept with a lot of women and I might do it again?" He asks in pain.She shook her head. Her lips quivered, uncertain how to tell him.His hands tremble, “I can’t change my past, but one thing is for sure, the moment that we started seeing each other I never looked at another woman.” He admitted. His face filled with despair.“No. That’s not it.” She remarks.“Will you tell me, please?” He asks pleadingly. Her heart is pounding as if it wants to jump out of her chest, “I'm afraid I'm not enough for you.
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 151 - Unexpected Move
9:30 AM the clock on Clarise's nightstand displays.She didn't think too much of it and closed her eyes to continue sleeping.Then it dawned on her. She's late for work."Shit!" She yelled as she hurriedly got out of bed and prepared for work. While brushing her teeth, she felt her stomach growling in hunger."I hope Leon hasn't eaten everything in the kitchen." She wished.She went downstairs and a smell of savory food entered her nostrils."Gloria, that smells delicious." She yelled.She walked to the kitchen and saw Zane cooking.Her eyes enlarge, "Hey, what's.... happening?" She asks in confusion. Despite that, she smiles gleefully. It'd been a while since she saw him in the kitchen."This is almost done. Why don't you take a seat?" He suggested as he helped her with the chair.She sighs guilty, "I really want to stay, but I have a meeting at 10:30 am, and I'm running late...""Oh! That meeting, Jack already took care of it." He explains."He did?" She asks in surprise.He nods.Sh
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 152 - Plans Unfolds (Triggering)
As the reporters cleared the gates of the Miller Mansion, Toby drove to check on Xander as he couldn’t reach his phone.He is aware their friendship will never be the same, but he is the only one he has right now. To his utmost surprise, he was denied access to the home. “Sorry, but Mr. Miller specifically requested to be left alone.” The guard says.Toby nodded, “Can you tell him I came by to check on him? And tell him to switch on his phone.” He requested.The guard furrowed his brows. “Sure, may I know who you are, sir?” He reasoned.Toby narrowed his gaze. He’s been friends with Xander for a long time and all the maids and guards knew him. He finds it peculiar. He stared at the guard and he didn’t recognize him.“Diego,” he mumbled to himself as he glanced at the guard's nameplate.“Tell him it's Toby,” he says, then soon drove off.MEANWHILE, IN NEW YORK…Hannah still couldn't believe what she saw on the news.Her mouth was still slightly open, and she only moved when she felt

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

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

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?
