“Michael?” Hannah repeated in shock, slowly turning around.

“Tell me this is a joke, Lily.”

Lily hung her head dejectedly, “I wish it were Hannah, but that’s the truth,” she said and slowly stepped forward. Hannah stepped back instinctively, still overwhelmed by what she’d heard.

Seeing her reaction, Lily stopped, her face tinged with regret, “I’m sorry Hannah, I wish I could take it all back, I’d do things differently this time,” she paused, almost as if taking an inward reflective look.

“After I left the family, I soon regretted my decisions but by then it was too late to come back. I knew Alfred was on the lookout for me and the only way I knew I could keep the family safe was if I stayed away for good.” Lily’s voice began to break,

“I didn’t mean for any of this to happen. We had suffered for too long, the family business was failing and I guess I just saw the opportunity to better my life and I didn’t stop to think of anyone else. I know it was selfish, but I was young and stup

    “What do you want Michael?” Hannah repeated sternly.“What I’ve always wanted? Money and power.” Michael replied.“How do you expect us to find 10 million dollars in the next twenty-four hours?” Hannah asked in irritation. “I don’t know, but that seems like your problem. However, if you want some pointers, I suggest you start by asking your husband. He must have a stack of cash lying around somewhere.”Listening to the way Michael was sounding now, Mia could not believe that she’d once had feelings for such a cruel and selfish man.“Why are you doing this Michael? How could you do this to us? Our family loved and respected you.”“Respect?!” Michael spat, his anger boiling over.“Do not speak of respect, Hannah. Your family treated me like trash, belittling my reputation just because I wasn’t making so much money or came from a rich home like you.” He paused, his voice becoming low and sinister, “You all deserve everything that is happening to you. For years, I was nothing but a dog o

Seeing Michael again for the first time in years, she felt the pit of her stomach churning in disgust. She wanted to swing her palm and claw off the stupid smirk on his face, but she knew his thugs would overpower her before she even got close.Michael shifted his gaze toward her with a casual smile, “Hannah, we finally meet again in person.”“What are you doing here, Michael?

    Hannah“If you bend over a little bit more, I might just give you a bigger tip.” A huge guy in a red leather jacket said loudly as I cleared the table opposite his.“Damn girl are you on the menu too? I’d order you anytime.” His friend added whistling as they broke into raucous laughter.Those words weren’t new to me anymore. Catcalling was a regular thing with the men in Earthly Paradise nightclub. I’d heard it too many times and learned how to shove it all down instead of getting affected by it. Lately, I just flash a smile and move along whenever a customer makes a flirtatious advance about my beauty or crosses a line with an inappropriate sexual comment.I hated working here and did not want to entertain any more of their antics, but I did not have any other option. It was the only place I could find that would hire a college dropout with no degree.For years I blamed my sister, Lily for how our lives turned out. She tore our family apart. Years ago, our father won a contract de

    HannahI felt a sharp headache as I slowly blinked my eyes open, wondering where I was.The room felt unfamiliar, decorated with tall ceilings, artworks, and designs as I scanned my eyes around.I tried to sit up, but a painful knot twisted in my stomach, forcing me back onto the bed. That’s when my eyes caught him, standing with arms crossed behind his back in front of the wide glass windows.Immediately, I panicked and my heart started racing, fearing the worst. He was wearing a black suit, with beautiful brown hair slicked backward.Suddenly he turned towards me and his gaze met mine instantly. I was struck by his features; blue eyes as deep as the ocean, a stubble jawline, and high cheekbones. It felt oddly strange. I wasn’t one to swoon easily, but something about this man made my heart skip.“Oh good you’re awake,” he said with a smile that sent chills down my spine.“Wh-who are you? Where am I?” I asked, forcing myself up from the bed, but before he could say anything, I sudde

    Ethan‘After all these years, why am I still hung up on you?’ I sighed as Clint drove back home.I now realize why I was infatuated by her. She reminded me of Lily; her grace, her calmness, these were all things that Lily had, things I loved about her. But now that feeling had been replaced with something I wanted to let go of, but still couldn’t – resentment.A part of me despised and hated her for what she did to me, but another part of me still held on to her, wanting her despite the pain she’d caused me.Seeing Hannah that night stirred some conflicting feelings inside me. Feelings about Lily. I wanted her to suffer, to be trampled with nothing but pain. To feel torn the same way I did when she left me. I wanted to be the one to cause her tears, but also dry them and love her softly as she dealt with that pain.Her betrayal stung so deeply. She was the last person I expected to ever do something like that to me, which was why I found it hard to get her off my mind. Lily wasn’t li

I found the letter about a month ago in Ms. Young’s room.” Aunt Jane said quickly and breathed out as if a heavy load had been lifted from her chest.A soft scoff escaped my lips. It took a while to process what she had said. I couldn’t believe it, I didn't want to. This entire time, I imagined the worst had happened to her, but it turned out she wasn’t lost, she just didn’t want to come back to me. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks as a wry smile parted my lips.Slowly, I tore open the envelope and pulled out the letter, my heart beating faster as I unfolded it.“Ethan, I’m sorry I have to say goodbye this way.

    HannahI rushed through my door and immediately headed to my bedroom, my mind still reeling from that strange offer.I couldn’t believe I was even still thinking about this. Five million dollars was a huge amount of money, but it wasn’t worth getting married to someone I did not know.Wiping my forehead nervously, I sat down and opened my laptop, glad that I had at least made it back home in time for the Screenwriter examination. Immediately, an email notification popped up on my screen from Royal Group, and anxiously, I clicked on it.My eyes widened in horror as I read the mail, “Rejected?” I blurted in disbelief, slumping into my seat.“But I haven’t even taken the examination yet.” I thought, trying to process what was happening. Soon as the realization set in, my whole body weakened and tears welled up in my eyes. This was my dream, my only hope of taking care of my mother’s medical bills. I’d done everything right, and followed all the application rules, so why was I rejected?

    HannahI thought signing my signature on that contract would be the toughest thing, but walking back home, legally married to a man you did not know topped it.My mind shook still as I walked back home. My thoughts racing, a mix of disbelief and fear. I didn’t even know my husband’s name, but judging from everything he did just to get me to sign this contract, I surmised he must have been a big-time figure. Still, for all I knew he could have been a cold ruthless man. Any man who gave tough ultimatums on the condition of a marriage had to be.‘What did I get myself into?’ I muttered to myself as I continued walking down the street, tears welling in my eyes.I tried to look at the bright side of things. I now had five million dollars to my name, but the cost of it made it more difficult to feel good about it.For years, I’d promised myself that I wouldn’t fall victim to the games of another man, or bare my heart so open to the point it gets broken, but he had left me no choice.Here

But Hannah wasn’t giving her a choice. Slowly, she grabbed the phone and brought it to her ear. “H-Hello?” she stammered, her voice barely audible. There was a brief silence on the other end for a moment, and then a calm yet cold voice spoke. “Lily,” the man said softly, his tone dripping with satisfaction. “Did you really think you could hide from me forever?” Lily’s breath caught in her throat. She tried to speak but couldn’t form words. Her throat felt dry, and her heart raced. “Wh-what do you want?” She stuttered.The man laughed bitterly. “What I’ve always wanted, Lily,” he said. “The money you stole from me.” “I don’t have it,” Lily said quickly, her voice trembling. “I don’t have your money anymore.” The man’s tone hardened. “Well, that’s unfortunate,” he said. “Alfred won’t like hearing t

She could not imagine that she had spent years feeling so little since Lily took her boyfriend from her, but now looking at her now, all she could see was a small and uncertain girl who had no clue what she was doing. Hannah sighed heavily, the tension thick between them. “Well?” She asked, her voice sharp. “What are you doing here?”Lily hesitated, her eyes darting to the ground. It was as though she was struggling to find the right words or anything to say, but still, the words were unable to form. Frustrated, Hannah, turned on her heel to walk away.“Wait!” Lily’s voice broke through the quiet, her ton tinged with desperation and fear. “I’m here because of you.”Hannah froze mid-step, and slowly turned back, her face unreadable but her eyes hinting with curiousity. “What do you mean, ‘because of me?’” Lily moved uncomfortably, looking anywhere but at Hannah.

Every memory of betrayal—her father’s death, Lily’s theft, and the wreckage she had left behind rushed to the surface. It was as if time had stopped, and all she could see now was the woman who had ruined everything.Her lips trembled as she tried to speak, but the hurt was so deep that she couldn’t move. For a moment, she wanted to lunge at her, she had spent years thinking about what she’d do when this moment finally came. Would she fight her? Make her feel even a fraction of the pain she had caused? Would she immediately turn her over to Alfred Wolfe and every other enemy Lily had made along the way?The thoughts rushed at her, tempting, but she remained rooted in place,
