Hannah's POV

I woke up snuggled close to Daniel again. But this time he was awake, pulling my fringe back only for it to bounce back onto my face. I looked up at him as he peered into mine, waiting for a reaction out from me. " Good morning," I wished him, my voice slightly deeper after not using it for more than eight hours. His lips tipped up as his eyes glowed. "Good morning, how are you feeling?" He asked, his palm resting against my head.

" Fine, I guess." I replied, rubbing my eyes with my fists. I looked back at him to see a smile shining back at me. But then I realized that it was a sad smile. " I am going to have to tell you everything today right?" I asked, hoping that I had woken up a little later. Daniel gave me slow nod, showing his hesitation. I let out a small sigh, pulling away from his warm embrace and sitting up. " Well how about we talk after work, outside? At a cafe or a park? We don't have to talk now." Daniel assured, searching my face for a reaction.

    Hannah's POVWork was surprisingly normal. No one I knew was waiting in the hospital wards. Just as I was about to head for my first surgery that day, my phone beeped signaling a message received. I asked for a moment from them and took my phone out of my coat.Daniel: I will wait for you outside after your shift. Have a great day at work!😘I blinked a few times and looked around to see if this was some kind of dream. As a nurse walked by, I had asked her to pinch me. And when she did, it was not pain that filled my body. It was a very warm feeling. A warm feeling that I have not experienced before. The nurse walked away, laughing to herself. I reread the message a few more to see if there was any hidden meaning to it.But no, it was a very straightforward message. A smile peeked out onto my lips and letting the warm feeling intensify. I held my phone against chest as Joseph walked towards me. " Hannah, we are waiting for you," He informed. But my mind refused to listen to those word

    TRIGGER WARNING: CONTENT BELOW CONTAINS RAPE.Hannah's POVI took a deep breath, thinking about how I wanted to start my life story. I thought that Daniel would rush me, but he was waiting patiently for me to start. " 16 September 1995, that was the day I was born." I started, looking up at him once I finished my small sentence." I'll make sure to keep that in mind and give you a surprise that you can never imagine of," Daniel replied, bringing a small smile onto my face. " It is not an important day, Daniel. I was the unplanned baby. I was not supposed to be made," I looked up at him, to see him clench his jaw."And I have always been treated that way. I was given to a care taker since the day I was born. I did not receive Mother's love or Father's love. Brother was told not to have any interaction with me. The three of them would have family meals while food was brought up to my room. I did try to get some kind of attention or care from any one of them, but the humiliation and sile

    Hannah's POVThe couches were filled with the bags that Joseph and I had purchased yesterday. Mom immediately went to one bag and pulled out a red dress. She straightened it and held it up. " Isn't this beautiful? How did you manage to snag this gorgeous dress?" Mom asked, looking back at me." Umm, actually, my friend made me go shopping and selected most of the dresses in the bags," I replied, looking away from her. Her smile dimmed a little as she shook her head. " Hannah dear, even if your friend selected it for you, it would still look gorgeous on you." Mom replied, folding the dress and placing it back into the bag." What would look gorgeous on who?" Mother's voice rang across the living room. She walked in hand in hand with Father as Brother walked behind them. I stiffened and took a small step back, trying to get to Daniel. Daniel too stepped towards me and circled his arm around my waist." Ah, Bernadette. It's nice of you to join us. You see, Hannah went out to shop and we

I was floored by Daniel's cooking skill. When I asked him how had he managed to cook so well, he simply replied with a shrug.Just as we were about to finish supper, Brother walked into the kitchen with a casual look. Daniel noticed him walk in to which he dramatically rolled his eyes, earning a small giggle from me before I sat up straighter. " What do you want?" Daniel asked with obvious distaste." I just want to talk. I will leave immediately if you do not want me to," Brother replied, sounding as if he had already thought of his reply. Daniel looked at me for confirmation as I slightly nodded to him. " Fine. You can talk, but I'll remain here." Daniel stated, trying to intimidate Brother. I had noticed a change in Brother.He seemed to let his emotions out a little more than before. Now, he had a look of relief before

    Hannah's POVDo you remember the time that you knew that someone would never do a certain thing, but only to be proven wrong to see them doing the exact thing? Well, that was what Daniel and I were seeing.Brother, or Dylan, had an apron wrapped around his torso and his headphones on his head. He was moving around the kitchen, cooking up a storm, while shaking his hips to whatever song he was listening to. My mouth fell open, my brain refusing to take in such information in such a short time.A chuckle sounded from beside me, causing my gaze to land on Daniel who seemed to be trying very hard to hold in his laughter. However, his efforts were in vain because he started to burst out in laughter. Honestly, I did not know what to focus on. Whether on Daniel's gorgeous laughter or on Brother's weird behavior.I slightly smacked Daniel on the shoulder to try my best to shush him. Which had evidently not worked as he continued to laugh. Soon Brother heard Daniel's loud laughter and turned a

    Hannah's POVRecap: I grunted softly as I tried my best to tighten the knot of the sweatpants, but they refused to stay up.It just had to be cliche. I thought to myself, as the pants dropped for the umpteenth time. " Fine, I will just not wear them..." I whisper-shouted to myself and folded them neatly. The sweatshirt reached my knees so it hid everything that needed to be hid. Especially the scars. Not letting my mind wander. I dropped my dirty clothes into the laundry basket and opened the door, holding his folded sweatpants. It is what it is. Urghhhh...I stepped out of the bathroom and shut the door, only to notice that Daniel's eyes were watching me like a hawk. " Erm, the pants do not fit..." I muttered softly, although it projected quite loudly in the quiet room. It seemed that Daniel had been working on somethings on his laptop. Daniel carefully placed his laptop on the bed and got up, his eyes never leaving mine. " I will go and get some pants from my room..." I stated and wa

We would be home and talking most of the time, about his work and sometimes even about his childhood.Daniel would ask about my day at work, but I would reply saying that it was just the usual. However tonight, Daniel insisted that I show him one of my textbooks about medicine. I refused at the start but after all the improvements we've made between us, I pulled out my textbook and let him look through it. His face brightened like a kid with candy.We were sitting in the livingroom, as Daniel flipped through the pages often asking about a few terms that he wasn't aware of. I tried my best to explain the meanings to him and somehow he connected medical prcedures with business tactics. Soon, Brother walked in and also sat down with Daniel and looked through it as well."

    Hannah's POVBefore I could react, I felt something poking my side. " Now, if I were you, I would not move and just listen," A very familiar voice commanded. I froze just as my captives asked me to. My eyes moved to the rearview mirror and I saw Him, sitting very relaxed. My head whipped to the side to recognize the other person." I believe I have never told you my name. I am Louis, Louis Smith. Now you see, I have a fully loaded gun that is poking your side as of now. Any sudden movements and a bullet will be shot right into your side. Seeing as that you're a doctor, you know how much damage that would make." Louis smirked, digging the gun deeper into my side.I winced slightly, but immediately shut up once a glare was shot at me. " Now Hannah, I want you to pull the car out of the parking lot. Then you will follow the instructions provided by the GPS. Got it?" Louis asked, plugging his handphone into my car and pulling up the address. He also took my phone, switched it off, broke m
