“What do you mean you can’t bail me out?” Ron says while speaking to Peter the Miller family lawyer.“Mrs. Miller... She wanted you to take all the blame for this and confess you did it on your own accord,” Peter explained.Ron scoffed and laughed sarcastically. “You have to be kidding me?” He remarked while staring Peter in the eye. He slammed his fist on the table. Startling Peter and catching one of the prison guards' interest. Ron notices the guards making his way to them.He knew he didn’t have much time.He calmed himself and sat properly in his seat. “At least tell me she’ll pay someone to represent me in court. Get me a good lawyer like yourself,” he stated.Peter shook his head, “Mrs. Miller is not sending anyone. Sorry, but you’re on your own.” Ron began to laugh maniacally as if the lawyer were telling him a big joke. “So you are telling me… She wants me to take all the blame, and she’s going to forget that I exist?”Peter nods.He knew that no matter how he explained the

“Mr. Thompson, you are a scary person,” Hannah muttered politely over the phone as Charles told her about Ron and Hector’s fate.He laughed, “Anything for my best employee.” He replied and soon ended the call.He then shifted his attention to his secretary, “Joaquin, ensure to double the security on the Fort Worth Property. I don’t trust anyone in Texas. Especially now that we’ve made ourselves known,” he demanded. “Sir, Am I going to assign security to Ms. Smith?” He inquired politely.“No need. Let’s divert our resources to our project. She can take care of herself. She's with her friends and I know Xander won’t stop pursuing her."Joaquin bowed his head and left.He smiled mockingly. "Xander is deeply in love with Hannah. He just doesn't know how to show it. He reminded me of his father. The only difference between them was Hannah was worth the love, but Lani wasn’t.” He thought to himself and continued with his day.MEANIWHILE...In New York…Toby stayed in Ashton’s studio apartme
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 101 - Your Words Against Mine
Hannah was finally released from the hospital. Clarise helps her get ready while Gloria packs their things. Leon is prepping the car in the parking lot. Clueless that he was being watched with an intent malevolent gaze with a pair of eyes whose only wish was to cause harm.Zane and Jack, on the other hand, went to the billing station to settle all the bills. However, when they arrived there, the cashier said that Xander Miller had settled everything.Zane and Jack could only stare at each other, shrug it off, and return to Hannah’s room.“You’re back early.” Clarise greeted them.Zane and Jack stared at each other. None wanted to answer her inquiry. Hannah immediately understood their silence.“Is there an issue?” Hannah asks.Both men glanced away from her, “What is it, Jack?” She insisted and looked at him intently. He cracked under pressure.“Xander Miller paid for everything,” he stated. Hannah laughed, “That's it?” She uttered while looking back and forth between the two men. S
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 102 - Dinner with Xander
Denise finally got a peaceful sleep. The day she knelt in front of Xander was the same day the reporters left her alone.Her prosecution in the public’s eye also stopped showing how powerful and influential Xander Miller is. Despite the tranquility in the atmosphere, her mind is at war with the idea that she needs to apologize to a low-life woman to have a peaceful life. “How did I Denise Reese from an affluent family? A sought-after star got this low in my life? Now, I’m begging for love and my life depended on a bumpkin.” She yelled internally while staring at herself in the mirror and angrily brushing her strawberry blonde hair, the force she uses is so strong that chunks of her hair fell onto the floor.She didn’t care. She continued doing it till she felt a stinging pain in her scalp. Shortly after, she began crying and threw the brush in the mirror in front of her, shattering it. She saw her reflection shattered by it. The look of mania in her eyes and the paranoia that gradu
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 103 - Mind Games
Denise was sobbing in the restroom of the restaurant. Her right hand was bruised, and her cheeks were swollen.She can't forget the misery and embarrassment she'd been through earlier. After Hannah made her kneel.Hannah snapped a photo of her and then used her cane to stomp on her hand. She grimaced in pain and then stared at Xander. He ignored her pleading gaze, and she even saw him enjoying how Hannah began to slap her in the face using her full strength.“This is for all the times you lied to get me into trouble.”‘SLAP!’Denise tried to stop her. She knew Denise could overpower her easily given the state she was in. Hannah then yelled, “Amir! Sergio!”Soon two burly men entered the VIP room.Even Xander was stunned by the turn of events.“Who are these men?” He asks himself.“Hold her!” Hannah commanded. Still in a kneeling position, the two men immediately held Denise's arms. “Hannah! This is too far.” She cried out and once again looked at Xander. “Stop her!” She uttered.B
Goodbye My Love CHAPTER 104 - The Calm Before The Storm
Hannah, together with Sergio, had reached the restaurant's underground parking lot. They were a few feet away from the car when they heard a male voice.A voice too familiar to her calling her name.“Hannah,” Ashton muttered softly.The sound felt like music to her ear. She can’t fathom if it's in her mind or if the voice came with the man she is thinking of.She turned around, and she immediately saw him standing near the pillar. There was an aggrieved look on his face as if he had lost something important.She wanted to call him or walk to him, but no voice came out, and her foot seemed glued to the floor.She remained motionless while staring back at him.Soon she heard him say, "You and Xander..." He stopped mid-sentence and couldn’t continue with the idea that she would go back to Xander after all Xander had done to her and after all the efforts she made to save herself.“I waited for your call… You promised you'd call me…” He smiled awkwardly and then held the back of his neck.

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?
