Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 23 - She's a Mistake
DENISE stood watch as Xander almost beat Ashton to a pulp while Toby was doing his best to mediate the situation.“Xander, stop. Ashton is our friend. He has already learned his lesson.” Toby yelled out as he tightly held Xander's arms.Meanwhile, Ashton was still stunned as he stared at Denise, who was unbothered by what she had just done to him. She didn’t even help Toby to pacify Xander’s anger or help him stand up as he was pinned on the floor. Ashton felt that everything moved slowly that day. Toby looked at Ashton’s bloodied face and he pitied his friend. Ashton could fight back, but due to height and physical differences, Xander would definitely win and it would also anger Xander more. Between the three of them, Xander is the tallest and has the best physical attributes. He is 6’3 and has a well-maintained body, while he and Ashton are around 5’11 and only do casual exercises. Toby was already breathless and, for the first time, got tired of settling the disagreement and fina
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 24 - Denise's Bold Move
TOBY arrives at Clarise’s home. At first, Clarise doesn’t want to let him in, but Bridget sees her Uncle Toby in the window and can’t stop shouting at him. In the end, Bridget’s adorable voice melted Clarise’s heart and let Toby inside the house.“Uncle Toby!” Bridget yelled as she welcomed him with open arms. He carried Bridget in his arms as he handed her another unicorn. This time, the color was purple. The child smiled and cheered, showing her cute dimples."Another U...corn... Th..ank you.." She mutters.“Where’s your mother?” He asks softly.“Hannah is upstairs,” Gloria replied gently as he gestured for Toby to wait in the living room where a plate of cookies awaited him. He sat Bridget on the sofa and let her play with her new toy.Shortly, Hannah joined him. Toby could see the scratches around her neck. “Did Ashton and Denise bother you too much last night?” He inquired concernedly.She shook her head. “Not the worst thing I’ve experienced. You should have witnessed how bad
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 25 - NEVER hurt my daughter
STRONG winds, heavy rain, and loud thunder woke the sleeping child from her slumber. Bridget cried and wailed at the top of her lungs, waking her mother instantly.Hannah wraps her hands around her daughter, coaxing her to go back to sleep, trying her best to calm the child. Soon she carried Bridget and then opened all the lights in the room. She saw how her daughter washed out her face as if she was a ghost, her forehead sweaty and the temperature of her body was hot. “Gloria!”“Gloria!” She shouted for assistance, waking up the old maid who was sleeping in the other room.Still half asleep, Gloria entered the room with urgency, “What is it?” She asked worriedly.“Bridget is sick.” She cried out anxiously. Every time Bridget gets sick, it scares her a lot as the child was born with complications, making her frail. The old woman checks Bridget and assesses the situation. “I’ll get the medicine and get a towel and basin with lukewarm water to get her fever down.”“Is that enough?”
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 26 - Bridget’s Custody
DENISE was pacing in her room waiting patiently for Xander to wake up while contemplating if she should call someone to break the door down. “Why is this happening to me?” She yelled in annoyance.She glanced at the wall clock and saw it was 11 pm. She yawns and then sits on the bed. She looks at the clock again, and in the blink of an eye, it's already 2 am. The exasperation and anger inside her heart is suffocating. She lay on her bed and held one of her pillows tightly, imagining she was strangling someone. Another hour passed and she fell asleep.Inside the bathroom, Xander opened his eyes, felt a bit better, and began to take a long cold shower. By 4 am, he discreetly got out of the bathroom fully clothed and glanced at the sleeping Denise. He felt disgusted by what she did to him. Soon the pitcher on her bedside caught his attention and, without hesitation, he took a sample of the water and drove away.By 7 am, Denise woke up, saw the bathroom door open, and noticed Xander was
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 27 - The Battle Begin
XANDER hurriedly drove to Ardmore, Oklahoma with a bouquet of red roses and a teddy bear in his passenger seat. When he got to Clarise’s home, he saw Bridget and Hannah seated on the porch swing. He saw how Hannah and Bridget were happy, relaxed, and comfortable, far from how they acted in the Miller mansion, always uneasy and on edge.He pushed the gate open and was about to announce his arrival, but before he could. Bridget yelled, “Poppa!”“Poppa’s back!” She says.Xander felt happy as his daughter called for him, but to his surprise, instead of walking in his direction, Bridget marched to the other side of the porch and ran to her Uncle Leon, who had just gotten back from running an errand. Hannah smiled awkwardly, then walked to Bridget and whispered, “Not Poppa. It’s uncle. Uncle Leon.” She explained. Leon laughed and held the back of his neck. “It’s fine, Hannah.” He muttered. Her voice was so soft that Xander didn’t hear how she corrected Bridget's words.Xander felt disres
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 28 - Inside the Miller Group
THE NEXT DAYHANNAH drove to the Miller Group to give Xander a piece of her mind. However, the concierge stopped her from entering the company.“Miss, do you have any appointments with Mr. Miller?” The concierge asks.Hannah shook her head. “Can you tell him that Hannah Smith was looking for him?” She remarked. The concierge nodded and called Xander’s secretary.Hannah sighed deeply and sat on the couch nearby while waiting for him.She can’t stop smiling at herself mockingly. She’s been with Xander for 3 years and not even once did he invite her to visit him in the office or any business gathering. In fact, only Yuri, his secretary, knew about her being Mrs. Miller.At the CEO’s office. Yuri entered the room and told Xander about Hannah’s presence in the lobby.Xander scoffed, “Let her wait in there.” He said, then gestured for Yuri to leave.He soon smiled, knowing that she had traveled far just to see him. Hinting to him that she was being docile again. At the lobby…Hannah was pa
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 29 - Little Pawn
XANDER's unreasonable actions pissed off Hannah, but she didn’t want to return to Ardmore, Oklahoma without accomplishing anything. She checked in at a hotel in Dallas and tried calling Xander’s phone, his office line, and his home phone, but no one answered.She was biting her nails while pacing in her hotel room. She has one month to prepare before their custody battle. Clarise, Leon, Zane, and even Jack were helping her. Instead of preparing, she was away from her friends and daughter trying to coax her ex-husband to stop this madness and stick to his words. “Why must he fight me? He is not even fond of our daughter.” She asks herself. Thinking of an excuse for Xander's sudden change of heart.She couldn’t help but think of another way to speak to him. Soon an idea entered her mind. She jolted out of her seat and almost stumbled. “Mr. Moore!” She yelled out as she shakily dialed a number. Meanwhile, at the Miller Group, Denise stayed at the CEO’s office even after Xander treated h
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 30 - Dinner
WHEN Denise and Xander arrive at the restaurant VIP room, Ashton and Toby are already seated, and the food is already on the table.“You already ordered for us,” Denise commented. Toby ignored her question and glanced away, then discreetly typed on his phone. Ashton nods then frowns. “I thought you were not coming?” He commented and then soon gasped. “What happened to your forehead?” He asks in concern.She smiled softly. “It's nothing.” She replied gently while staring at him invitingly as if demanding to ask her again.He gritted his teeth, “That’s not, nothing. Look how huge that bruise is,” he commented. She grinned, “Another opportunity to slander that bitch.” She yelled internally.She lowered her head and acted as if she was scared. “It… It's Hannah.” She mumbled stutteringly.Ashton slammed his fist on the table, startling them. He opens his mouth but can’t seem to form any words in anger. “Are you sure?” Toby commented. Ashton slowly glared at him. “What kind of question

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
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 160 - Thank you for messing up!
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
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 155 - Zeke
“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
