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 1 - Bridget Miller
A LAVISH mansion in Texas was in chaos as the young lady of the house, Hannah Miller was about to give birth to her first child. The servants are in a hurry to usher her to the car, but she hesitates as her husband hasn’t returned from work yet. The contractions are getting stronger as if the child was in a hurry to burst out of her.Mrs. Cooperfield, the oldest maid in the Miller mansion, called her young master to give him the good news. Her call was answered within two rings.“Sir, your wife’s water broke. We’re going to the hospital now,” Mrs. Cooperfield frantically mumbles over the phone while the heavily pregnant Hannah is being escorted to the car by other servants.Xander scoffed, “I'm at a very important meeting. She has money on her account to pay for the expenses.” He yelled over the phone, almost deafening Mrs. Copperfield.She’s about to reason with him about the importance of being present during the birth of his child but before she could say a word the line was cut
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 2 - Drunk
THE coldness of the night added dread to the sleepless Hannah. She glances at her bedside table where the documents are neatly arranged inside a brown envelope waiting for her signature. It's haunting and taunting at the same time. She thought they were doing great. He works hard and does everything that pleases him. He could stay out all night and go home drunk and she would still welcome him with open arms. Even when he called her Denise the name of his ex while thrusting her he didn't hear her complain.Hannah on the other hand, is a full-time housewife, even with a lot of servants in the mansion she's the one who personally tends to Xander and his family. She cooks and serves them. She's not even allowed to eat in the dining area with them. The only time she does is when there are visitors as the Millers don't want any rumors circulating that they are abusing her. She might not be the one who washed his clothes but she made sure his clothes were arranged properly in his walk
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 3 - Jealousy
"YOU miss him!?" Xander yells as he drives fast. Hannah's hand trembled and could only cling to her seat firmly as Xander drove 100 km/h on a 50 km/h road. He is clearly upset about the scene he saw and the words he heard.He sneered, "You must be celebrating when I told you I'm filing for divorce. I didn't know you were already dating someone. Did you really even go there for me? Have you forgotten you are still my wife?" He added as his hold on the steering wheel tightened.She shook her head, her heart was pounding. She knows when Xander is angry he doesn't listen to reason, but it will anger him more if she can't provide an answer. He might not love her, but he values his name and dignity. His main concern is if someone saw her with another man while still married to him, "He... is Zane... A friend from high school. I'm just telling him I miss them too. Him, his girlfriend Clarise, and another friend of ours. It's a coincidence that I saw him there. After I moved to the Miller ma
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 4 - Daddy's Little Girl
AFTER the weird phone call Xander received, he went down to the dining area in a seemingly good mood. Hannah could only steal glances at her husband as she served the food on the table. Soon Lani and Katarina join Xander in the dining area. When Hannah saw them she immediately walked to the kitchen as they didn't like seeing her when they were eating. While the Millers enjoy the warm food she cooks, she's in the kitchen eating with her daughter and Mrs. Copperfield."Momma," she mumbles as she points at the pieces of bananas beside the pancakes. Hannah gave her a small piece that she devoured in seconds. Hannah and Mrs. Copperfield laugh at how adorable Bridget is. LATER THAT DAY, at the Miller Group.It's bring your child to work day at the company. Xander stared at the kids seated beside their parents staring at the type of work they were doing. He doesn't detest children he is not just fond of crying, vomiting, pooing, and peeing. That's the reason why he never got close to hi
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 5 - In-Laws (Unsettling Scene Ahead)
XANDER laughs sarcastically."Now you can't wait to divorce me? Is it because of that Zane guy?" He exclaimed in annoyance.Hannah gasped, “I already told you he is just a friend.” She remarked with conviction.He pressed his knee harder on her back. She winces."Forget about the divorce. From now on you can’t leave this house." He yells.Her body stiffened upon hearing his words. "Xander!" She cried out, she felt his hands under her skirt. "What are you doing?"He did not answer and the next sound she heard was her skirt and shirt ripped out of her body, stripping her to her underwear. She shivers in fear and shame.He stood up and rummaged through his cabinet. She took advantage of it and slowly got out of bed to run out. The way he spoke scared her. She has no idea why he is acting the way he does. One moment he'd shout divorce, the next he wouldn't let her get away from him."What's wrong with you?" She thought as she discreetly walked to the door. She smiled as she turned the kno
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 6 - Sly Fox
"WHAT happened?" Xander asks in shock.He could see her hair on the floor. The clipper was stuck on the corner of her head. It's clear someone tried to cut her hair with his beard trimmers, but her hair was too thick.Her face was swollen, her lips bloodied, and her chest filled with scratches. Hannah did not speak and only closed her eyes.Xander did not push her as it is obvious who did it. He removed her bonds and saw the marks they left on her body. The moment he untied her, she slowly got up."Where are you going?" Xander asks curiously."I need to prepare dinner for you," she replied while trying to remove the stuck clipper on her hair.He shook his head. "You'll scare Bridget. Have you seen yourself in the mirror?" He replied concernedly, but the choice of words sounded mockery to her.She smiled bitterly, then sat on the bed. Naked. Tired. Hungry and thirsty.He witnessed how she stared blankly at the floor."Stay here. I'll ask the servants to bring you food and a change of c
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 7 - The Reason
HANNAH stood in front of the bathroom mirror. She stares blankly at herself as her lips quiver and her nose and eyes turn scarlet. She began to sniff while closing her eyes, trying her best not to cry as she looked at herself. Asking what had happened to the lively girl she used to be.Her long black hair was chopped off into a pixie cut and her face was still swollen from Katarina's slap. She could still taste her own blood in the wound on her lips and, above all that, she could barely move the two fingers in her right hand. Her wrists and ankles are bruised and her back aches.Soon, her thoughts were interrupted when Xander entered the room."Hannah!" He calls to her.She immediately got out of the bathroom and marched at him. Like a dog to his master. The idea made her smile bitterly because most dogs are treated better and with unconditional love.The moment he saw her, he pulled the blanket and the sheets off the bed, "Change them.” He demanded as he pointed at his messy bed.“I d

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

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?
