“Hannah,” Lily said softly, reaching her hand toward her.

Hannah stepped back reflexively, her brows creasing in annoyance. She’d tried so hard to keep her tears from falling, but the pain had quickly become overwhelming, and she couldn’t stifle the tears that formed anymore. She shifted her gaze between Ethan and Lily, her heart hardening at seeing them. Not knowing what to say, Lily stood uncomfortably. This wasn’t how she wanted Mia to find out. She hoped she’d have the words to resolve this situation before her sister learned about it.

In truth, as much as she wanted Hannah’s help dealing with Alfred Wolfe, she also wanted her relationship with her sister back.

After a few moments, Hannah wiped away her tears. Her gaze suddenly became dark. “You know what, Lily? You two can have each other. I refuse to be your replacement.”

Hannah turned around, intending to walk away, but before she could take a step, Ethan’s voice interjected, “You weren’t her replacement.” He said, causing Han

    At this point, Hannah could no longer hold back her curiosity and asked, “What do you mean, Ethan? What were you supposed to do?”Ethan looked at her again and heaved a deep sigh, “Before Lily left me standing at the altar, I had started to see the signs,” he paused reflectively, “I knew she didn’t love as much as I loved her, and at a time I wasn’t even sure whether it was love that I felt for her, but I couldn’t imagine why else she was with me so I just went with the flow.”“You have to understand, Hannah, I was in my thirties and had never experienced real love. Everyone I met either seemed to be after my money or some favor I could do for them, so when I met Lily, I realized she was different. She didn’t care much about who I was or what I could do, but over time, I realized that she wasn’t looking for anything too serious. But even though I knew that, I still wanted to be with her. It was the first time I found someone who wanted to be with me just for me, and I didn’t want to l

    “I’m sorry, Ethan,” Lily said, her voice breaking as she spoke. “I didn’t know how much this affected you; for that, I’m truly sorry.”Ethan and Hannah stood quietly. Ethan nodded in appreciation, but the person he wanted to hear from now was Hannah. He shifted his gaze to Hannah, who still did not know what to say. She remained frozen, overwhelmed by the moment. “Hannah?” Ethan finally asked, curious to hear what she had to say. Heaving a deep sigh, Hannah stared at him and said, “I’m sorry too, Ethan, but I can’t do this.” She said and started walking away again. Confused, Ethan hastened towards her and grabbed her hand. She yanked it away forcefully and snapped, “What do you want from me, Ethan?!”“I want you to say something! Anything!” Liam met her sharp words with frustration.“So what, just because you’ve opened up about your feelings and emotions, you think that solves everything? Because you’ve said a few sad words, you think everything is supposed to be fine?”Ethan opened

    “It’s getting late,” Ethan managed to find his voice after the heartfelt speech he had given to his wife. Even though Hannah felt partly unconvinced, she couldn’t help the invisible smile tugging on her lips. His confession still felt surreal. Ethan loved her? Truly and deeply? How could it not feel surreal? Despite her embarrassing past, Ethan Ford loved her. After they arrived at the mansion, Ethan opened up her doors. She’d never felt so seen or so loved. “Truly, it’s the little things,” she muttered. “What?” Ethan asked, having heard her low mumble. “It’s nothing,” Hannah smiled, looking away. Ethan went quiet for a while, but after the confession, he suddenly felt the need to do more to show he meant it. He wanted to talk to her more and pay more attention.He glanced at Hannah, and all he wanted to do was hold her and kiss her. His hand went to her thigh, but before he could hold her, his gaze involuntarily landed on his rearview mirror, which unexpectedly caught Lily’s ga

    Ethan pressed his lips deeper—it felt good; it was magical. His heart throbbed like it would jump out of his chest.This was a breach of contract, and he knew it. But what could he do when his heart wanted nothing else but Hannah? But Hannah wasn’t kissing him back.She went rigid, her lips unmoving beneath his. Her breath hitched, her fingers curling into weak fists. It took a minute for her mind to catch up, but Hannah gasped and pulled away when it did.“Ethan…” her voice came out a bit breathy than intended. Ethan looked up. His eyes flashed with fear—fear that he had upset Hannah and ruined the relationship before it even started. “I thought… I just…” he paused to catch his breath. “I don’t know what I was thinking,” he admitted. He just wanted to kiss her. He had been wanting to do that for a while now. Hannah frowned, disappointment etched on her face. “Do you think I’m easy?” “Do you think this is appropriate considering the kind of relationship we have?”Ethan’s gaze so

    Lily had thought she was over Ethan. Maybe it was Hannah’s firm claim on him that stirred the jealousy within. “Really?” Lily’s expression darkened. “You care about his reputation that much? Then, have him pay off the debt. Saves us all the trouble.”Hannah let out a bitter laugh, shaking her head. “Was this your plan all along? Is this why you came here with all these troubles? First, Alfred, then you, now Michael?”“My husband has no business paying off the money you stole, Lily! I won’t let it happen. You took that money; you should’ve thought about the consequences. Now, face it and leave Ethan out of it! If I receive one more threatening message, I’ll report you to the police myself.”Before Lily could say anything, the door was slammed on her face. Lily released a breath she didn’t know she was holding. She had never seen Hannah look so feral.“Make Ethan pay?” Lily inhaled a sharp breath. “Is that all you could come up with?!”—————Ethan glanced at his wristwatch for the thi

Did you say anything to upset her?”The line went silent. Lily’s words dried up.“Lily?” Ethan called, “What did you say?”“I didn’t mean it, Ethan, I swear.

    Lucian leaned forward, watching Ethan closely. The misery on Ethan’s face made him wish he could simply wipe it away, but matters of the heart were more complex than closing a business deal. He would know because he’d been there.“Does she know…?”Ethan furrowed his brows, confusion weaved into the lines of his frown.“Your wife… does she know how you feel?“Ethan’s gaze dropped to the table, his jaw tightened as if the question physically hurt. He took a deep breath to steady himself but it didn’t help.“I don’t know, Lucian.” He replied, his voice was low and strained— either from the alcohol, the misery, or both. “I don’t know anything anymore.”Lucian’s gaze softened, “I think you should tell her how you feel, explicitly. Tell her the way it is in your head.”“What if it doesn’t work, man?”“At least, you can say you tried.“Ethan swallowed hard, nodding his head in agreement. He didn’t want to think about it not working but Lucian was right, at least he would say he tried.The ni

    The school bus rounded up at 6 Gavin Avenue, a large field of white daisies with large clay pots holding nothing but the wishes of tourists and locals. The Screenwriting school had carefully chosen this spot. They were particular about it. It was supposed to inspire them for an entry into the school’s fourth annual contest. “Can this inspire anyone?” Gloria asked, the petite young woman with large spectacles would have passed for the quiet, timid one in the group, but Gloria was far from reserved. She was outspoken, voicing her opinions and perspectives whether you liked it or not. As talkative as she was, she was also the observant one. Her attention to detail was commendable and just like every other day, despite the number of people trooping into the daisy field, amidst the noises, she was the first to notice that Hannah hadn’t said a word all day. Instead, she repeatedly glanced at her phone, like she was expecting a call any minute, unfortunately, all day, her phone didn’t ri

    Lucian rounded into the already crowded parking lot of Springfield Teaching Hospital. Without waiting for Lucian to find a parking space, Ethan hopped down, half-running, half-walking towards the entrance of the hospital. The nurse at the reception greeted him first, smiling like she had just seen a superstar. Ethan had that effect on people. He stood out in a room full of people without even trying. Usually, he would return a smile with a polite nod but today, he couldn’t seem to hold himself together. “I’m here for Hannah. Hannah Young.”The nurse’s eyes lit up, “Hannah, the lady that fell two stairs…”“She fell?! How could she fall? It’s impossible! Hannah is usually very careful.”The panic in his voice startled even the nurse, and her smile faded into a cynical raise of the brow.“Are you her guardian?”“Yes,” he replied quickly, “She’s my wife.”The nurse’s eyes lit up, glinting with envy and somewhat… jealousy. “I must say, she’s a very lucky woman…”“Oh for fucks sake, ta
