After several setbacks, Katarina’s birthday finally came. It’s 4 PM and the party starts at 6 PM. The event coordinator is adjusting minor details on the setup to make sure everything is perfect. The garden is in full bloom, the pink dahlias complement the motif of the event. The tables are covered in baby pink silk fabric and the tables are a full set of fine dining cutlery with a centerpiece of 22 pieces of pink roses that are neatly arranged in an expensive vase. The seats are made of the finest materials and the seat cushion is so soft and comfortable it feels like sitting on a marshmallow. As the time reaches 6 pm, guests start to arrive and the maids usher every guest to their respective seats as per the seating arrangements made by Katarina. Most seats in front of the stage are for family, friends, and special guests. In comparison, the seats at the back are for their acquaintances. Though Katarina wanted a big party, she only invited 70 people, mostly her schoolmates and frie
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 77 - Departure
It was a gloomy Sunday afternoon and heavy rain was about to pour.It is as if the weather wants to grieve like Cyrene and Bella who were accompanying Ashton to the airport.Cyrene kept crying during the ride. While Bella, being the youngest child, is close to Ashton as she finds his brother as childish as she is. For her, her brother is the best among her other siblings. She finds it unfair that her brother needs to leave Texas because of Denise. In Bella’s mind, their father should have punished Denise instead of her brother. Ashton, on the other hand, hugged his mother and sister. Soon, the car was put to a halt. They finally arrived at the airport. Ashton suggests that they stay in the car, as it might be harder for all of them if they saw him depart. Both Cyrene and Bella agreed to his suggestion; shortly, another wave of tears flooded the car and they hugged each other harder. “See you in a year or whenever Dad wants me back!” He uttered jokingly as he walked out of the car

Despite that, she gave him a brown envelope filled with cash.Her meeting with the investigator was short and straightforward and that only lasted a few minutes.She held the folder firmly in her hands, "Where are you?" She uttered under her breath and soon stood up to leave.As she was leaving
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 79 - Dallas Property
It was 4 in the afternoon and Xander Miller had just gotten out of his car and stood in front of the luxury hotel where the Dallas project bidding would be held.Today he came in person, which is rare for him. At first, he has no plans to attend the event, but an unknown voice in the depths of his mind tells him to go. He grunted in boredom.His mind is blank, and his eyes are as cold as ice. He gave out an aura of exhaustion, but despite that, his appearance remained elegant, stunning, and unmatched. He marched to a vast corridor filled with luxury paintings when he suddenly felt uneasy as if he was being watched.He turned his head and glanced around, only to find the corridor empty. He soon brushed off the feeling. Still, he can’t stop touching his wedding band —a recently acquired mannerism whenever he thinks of his ex-wife.He was walking in the corridor when he suddenly felt a hand grabbing his arm. “Xander!” Denise mumbled gently as she slowly wrapped her hands around him
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 80 - Denise's Worst Nightmare
The event began, but Denise couldn’t focus on the luxury items available for bidding, the beautiful scenery, and the serene classical music playing in the background.She can’t even enjoy the attention from the press taking their photos. All she could do was watch how Xander fixed his gaze on the woman on the opposite side of the room.The black Audrey Hepburn-inspired dress from Breakfast at Tiffany’s screams elegance and that red curly hair of hers adds mystery and danger to the woman they used to call uncultured, who now looks more refined than her. Her hands began to lose their strength, and she could sense fear slowly crawling into her skin.She has a lot of questions and thoughts in her mind, but there’s only one query she wants to ask, “Is Hannah Smith really a redhead? If she is, is she the same girl from more than a decade ago?” She asks herself. The words in her mind drilled deeper into her. She felt cold and helpless. She lowered her head to hide the aggrieved look on her

Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 81 - Fort Worth Property
YURI frantically tried to reach his boss, but he was not picking up his calls.“Please answer the call I’m begging you.” He yelled internally. Tonight, Yuri was supposed to close the deal with Denver Incorporated, the owner of the plot of land in Fort Worth, Texas, the land that Xander actually wants to acquire. The Dallas Property bidding was a trick for Thompson International to intercept, to waste their time and resources. Unbeknownst to him, Charles Thompson knew about his plan because Hannah saw it on Ashton’s phone. Yuri’s hands are shaking as he redials his boss's number. His movements are frantic and his heart pounds louder as he witnesses Denver Carlton shaking Charles Thompson’s hand, sealing their deal.“Shit!” Yuri yelled.He couldn't stop biting his nails in anxiety. He was thinking how did he fuck this up, “How did they know about this deal? I made sure that people would gossip about the Miller Group’s intention to purchase the Dallas Property to divert everyone’s att
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 82 - How the tables have turned...
Denise wanted to stay and make sure that Hannah and Xander wouldn’t have any alone time together, but she couldn’t take the embarrassment any longer. In a miserable state, she ran out of the venue, to her car, and sped away from the place.While driving, she can’t throw away the memory of the gazes and judgment of the people at the venue.She can’t help but reminisce about what had happened to her after the scandal from 4 years ago. She grew too bold and lost everything she had.From an upcoming star to a nobody in just one night. ~Just childhood friends. Nothing more.~~We're never going to tie the knot~She repeats Xander’s words through gritted teeth.“You promised me the world, Xander! How dare you deny that we are going to get married and declare that you love that scoundrel ex-wife of yours.” She yelled. Her eyes are red in rage.MEANWHILE…At the auction…Xander made his way to Hannah, who'd been talking to different guests. Exchanging pleasantries and business information.“S

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.

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

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?
