•Chapter 12• The Rules
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I had a pounding headache when I woke up and it wasn't subsiding no matter how many painkillers I took.
I took off all of my clothes and noticed the bruise on my arm. I frowned and then remembered how Sebastian gripped my arm last night. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat. I know what happened between us was my fault but that does not excuse his behavior.

Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 18• Dinner with the parents!
We were going out for dinner hosted by both of our parents. I was scared to meet his parents like this. I could still see the swelling and bruise on my head. My hand also had a big blackish bruise. I was healing but they will notice it in an instant. I decided to wear my bodycon spaghetti strap black lace dress, it was one of my designs, and paired it with my four-inches black Louboutins and a black clutch. I wore red lipstick and loosely curled my hair letting it fall freely on my back reaching my waist. I know it's too much for a formal family dinner but I wanted to dress up for myself because lately, I have been feeling like shit. I wanted to feel confident in myself again. Believe it or not, as a fashion designer clothes are my stress relievers. I looked at myself in the mirror, I have lost some weight maybe it's because I wasn't eating enough. I turned around and checked out my butt from over my shoulder. "Fucking

We reached home and he helped me into the house. He made me sit on the living room couch. He lowered himself along with me, placing his one knee on the couch. He kept looking at me, as he was only a few inches away. I meekly looked up at him, he looked so handsome up close. He looked so young, he looked like the seventeen-year-old charming and loving Sebastian. He made sure that I was comfortable. He leaned in and I flinched back a little. I stared at him wide-eyed. What was he trying to do? Was he getting closer to me because of what our parents said? Did he want to have a child? This doesn't work like that! "What are you doing?" I asked lowly, my voice almost above a whisper. He stared at me with an unknown expression on his face like he was trying to read me, to understand me. He leaned in closer, his lips slightly touched my forehead. I closed my eyes in uncertainty. "I'm s----" "Sebastian!" Karen yelled cutting him off mid-sen

He felt uncertain and nervous about all of this. A day before, he was so sure that he is going to do it but now he was having second thoughts. He kept tapping his foot on the ground as he waited for her. He didn't know how that thing works. What if it hurt her or has any serious side effects? What if she falls sick? He was feeling guilty since he saw her crying on Doris's shoulder. He knew he was the reason behind her tears and the thought made him hate himself. He promised himself that he won't fall for her tricks again. He promised himself that he won't care. She was doing it again, making him crazy about her so she could break him down all over again. It took him years to let her go, to move on and now it felt like he was back to square one. Hannah didn't sleep all night thinking about what is going to happen tomorrow. Sebastian said it was regarding her pregnancy, she was nervous and miserable. She would've done some research about it if she h

••10 YEARS LATER•• Hannah felt a tiny body straddling her stomach and lightly jumping on it. She stirred in her sleep. "Wake up, mommy! Wake up!" A tiny voice screamed enthusiastically. Hannah rolled to the side and the tiny body got off her. Someone tried to pull their blanket from the edge of the bed. Hannah's eyes shot open when she remembered that they were naked under the sheets. She gripped the sheet tightly and nudged Sebastian. He groaned and snuggled into her more."Seb!" She whisper-yelled. "Mommy, you are awake" Damon's eyes lit up. Damon, her two-year-old son straddled her again. "Hi, mommy" His beautiful eyes twinkled. "Hi, baby! I am awake, now, why don't you wake daddy up" She told him and Damon looked towards Sebastian and jumped on his chest. "Holy Fuck!" Sebastian shouted. "Seb!" She scolded. "Holy fuck!"

"And daddy loves you the most" he whispered and pecked on her lips.He walked back to his desk in a hurry."Sebastian, I am trying to have a conversation with you," She said frustratedly."I am listening, my love," He said concentrating on the file before him."Really?"

Pearl was the flower girl and Luke walked her down the aisle. When they reached Sebastian, Luke did a very bad Mason Clarke impression. "Take care of her" he cried making a horrendous face.

After their wedding, Hannah moved to Richmonte and decided to open a C&W franchise there. Sebastian and Hannah opened a joint account and bought a new house together.

He got out and almost ran towards the door. He knocked on the door and waited. He could hear light footsteps approaching as the door unlocked and her angelic face came into his view. He eyed her up and down as she was fully dressed. Her eyes lit up. "You are back from work? This early?" He crossed his arms across his chest and leaned against the doorframe with a sly smirk on his face. "And whose fault is that?" She looked at him perplexed. "I don't know..." With his thumb and forefinger, he gripped her chin. "Anna, that was very naughty of you" She stared at him confused. "What was?" "You don't know?" He asked and she shook her head.

•A WEEK LATER• Hannah stayed in Richmonte but not at her father's house. She and Sebastian had rented out a motel room, where they'd spend time together without anyone knowing. They just got back together with no more obstacles in their way, they wanted to keep it private. They wanted to keep it just between them. She showered and tied a towel around herself. She came out and faced a large mirror that was in the corner of the room and untied the towel making it fall and pool around her feet. She picked up a victoria secret bag and took out black lingerie. "It's okay, it's time. I want it, I want to know what it feels like" She talked to herself. The past week, Sebastian didn't go past making out. He'd make up an excise or he'd just fall asleep. He was treating her like she was made of glass even before kissing her he asked for permission a few times. They weren't teens anymore. She wasn't a scared little girl anymore! W

The next morning, Hannah woke up and stretched her body. She lazily strolled to the bathroom. After showering, she stepped down the stairs to eat something. She was famished as the night before she didn't have anything. Her nostrils filled with the lingering fumes of frying bacon. She followed the delicious smell and came into their dining room. She made her way to the table and slid into a seat. Mason came a few moments later and joined his daughter. Hannah frowned. "Where's Eva? I hadn't seen her since I came back" Mason glanced at her as the staff served them breakfast. "We got divorced" Hannah's eyes widened. "When?" "After you left..." "You've been living here alone since then?" Hannah asked, her heart suddenly feeling heavy for her father. "I have always been alone" He shrugged nonchalantly as he cut into his omelet. Hannah pursed his lips. "But still it must

••ANOTHER MONTH LATER•• Hannah and Luke walked out of the C&W to get lunch. John joined them and kissed Luke. "Aw, look at you two" Hannah fangirled over her best friend's relationship. She was their biggest hype-women. A second later, Pearl came running out of the building as well. "Hey! Don't leave without me!" She shrieked as she caught up with them. They all bickered over where to eat and who will pay for it. It was their thing. A lunch ritual. It started when they were in college and they still hadn't let go of it. "Hannah..." Someone called her. She turned to her side and saw the person she never thought she'd ever see again. Hannah's smile fell and got replaced with a confused, bewildered look. "Karen..." She breathed out. It had been almost a year since Hannah last saw her. She suddenly remembered the day Sebastian threw her out of his house and everyth

She packed her bags and descended the stairs. Reynolds came behind her with her luggage. She saw Sebastian standing there, his hands in his pockets as he stared at the wall mindlessly. She approached him. "Sebastian..." "Hmm?" He asked, staring at nothing in particular. "I... Just wanted to say... Thank you for everything. I couldn't have done it without you." She said, tucking her hair behind her ear. He turned towards her and gazed at her face mindlessly. He wanted to hold her, hug her, kiss her, love her but he just smiled sadly. He looked down at the ground and then back at her. "You would have..." He said. "You didn't need me. You always had it in you, Hannah. You did that all by yourself, I did nothing." She smiled and stared into his eyes. He was trying to avoid eye contact with her. He looked everywhere but her face. Reynolds came and opened the car door for her. She looked between th

He flipped off the mattress from the bed and pulled out all of his clothes from his closet. "WHERE DID YOU PUT IT?!" He shouted at his mother and she flinched. "Sebastian, my baby boy, it's for the best" She cried helplessly as she followed him around his room. "No, I need it, I need it, I NEED IT!" He frustratedly pulled on his hair. He slapped his face multiple times, and then scratched his cheeks. Florence held his hands in hers trying to stop him from hurting himself. He harshly pulled his mother in for a hug. "I will kill myself, mum. Please, I can't live without it" He cried over her shoulder. "Please, mum, just this last time. I promise then I'll stop..." He sobbed hysterically like
