•Chapter 18• Dinner with the parents!
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56We 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.

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

The doctor settled herself between her legs and she inspected her vagina for a few minutes, which was all very awkward for Hannah. She shivered when the cold latex glove touched her core. The doctor tried to insert something inside of her and Hannah winced, she abruptly withdrew the object.The doctor cleared her throat. "Mrs. Harding, if you don't mind, can I ask you a question?""Yes," Hannah said"You've been married for almost six months now, right? She asked"Yes...""And have you ever had intercourse before or after marriage?" The doctor askedShe let out a shaky breath. Her mouth bone dry. She didn't have an answer to that. Would Sebastian kill her if she said anything?"I... Umm""You don't have to hide anything from me, I am your doctor," she said"We did?" Her voice sounded uncertain to her own self."It's none of my business to intrude in your person

•The First Date• Sebastian was nervous and excited because it was his first date as well. He didn't know what kind of things will impress a girl like Anna Clarke. So, he went all out. He was at Clarke's doorstep at ten in the morning. He wanted to spend a whole day with her. He had already texted her to be ready. Their maid opened the door and invited him in. He followed the maid into the foyer. He was waiting for his Anna when a girl around his age maybe a bit older came and checked him out from head to toe. "Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?" she said teasingly. Sebastian was used to these kinds of girls who threw themselves at him. He lost his virginity to a seventeen-year-old girl when he was merely a fourteen-year-old. Being rich and good-looking, he had experienced it all. So, these kinds of flirty remarks didn't matter to him. "Are y

It's been a week. A week since our awkward doctor's appointment. Everything was tolerable between us, not good but better. He doesn't say anything about my hair and dresses anymore. He didn't even force me to eat seafood. I had pizza yesterday after eons, It was heavenly. Sebastian threw a party, it was more of a business event and it was boring so far because all of the businessmen and their trophy wives were annoying me. It was a fake display of love that made me gag. I was wearing a silver evening gown with a long slit showing off my whole leg and it was backless. I had my hair tied up in a beautiful updo with curled strands falling out of it. My makeup was done by a team of professional perks of being the mayor's wife. Violet came with Eric, they hit it off the other day at the yacht and were more than friends now. They couldn't keep their hands to themselves, it was so sweet and funny because if I told the high school Violet that she will dat

"Stop, please!" she cried as he bit sharply on her neck. She squirmed in pain underneath him. She felt her neck throbbing. He landed a backhand on her soft cheeks. Taking ahold of both of her wrists, he pressed both of her hands into the bed. His right hand squeezed her breast roughly, his eyes filled with lust. She wanted to push him off but he was too strong, too big. All she could do was watching helplessly as he violated her. Every time she'd try to struggle he'd get more and more violent."Please, I am begging you, please stop" she cried helplessly as he ripped her silk shorts and tank top apart. He slapped both her breast, pinching and pulling her nipples between his finger harshly making her cry out in pain. "Please...""Do you tell Sebastian to stop? DO YOU?!" He shouted and specks of spit landed on her face."I'm s-sorry... Please I'm so sorry..." She could only helplessly cry."Your sorry doesn't matter, your actions do!"

"You want a divorce?" he mocked, mimicking my tone. "Y-yes..." "Are you forgetting about the baby clause, wife?" He asked, getting closer to me, and each time he took a step forward I took a step back until my back hit the wall. "Karen is pregnant, you don't need me" I mumbled. He nodded and took a sip straight out of the bottle. He frowned in a sarcastically comical way and then chuckled. "But the baby must come from a Clarke" he placed his finger on my chest, the bottle was still in his hand. "And a Harding," he placed the same finger on his chest. "Those were your father's words, remember?" "But it doesn't matter now, she's pregnant," I reasoned with a shaky voice. The atmosphere of the room was suffocating me. My back was glued to the wall as Sebastian stood before me. He was drunk and completely out of his senses. I just wanted to ask him for a divorce now that

But when Nancy heard about it, she couldn't help it. She wanted to see her breakdown with her own eyes."Nancy" Hannah whispered."Hello, step sister""What are you doing here?""I called her" Karen joined Nancy and they both smiled at each other."You know, I hate you for stealing Sebastian but our common hate for Hannah is stronger" Nancy high-fived Karen."I didn't steal Sebastian. It's not my fault that he is crazy about me" Karen bragged and made a smug face.She mainly wanted Hannah to listen to her words but nothing seemed to affect her. She was looking at both of them innocently with questionable eyes.Nancy strolled into her room and entered her closet unbeknownst to Hannah, who seemed to

••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!"

He pulled her towards him from her neck. "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?"

Sebastian and Hannah got married in a small intimate ceremony in Venice. She designed her wedding dress almost identical to her mother's. Hannah invited all of her friends and Sebastian just had Eric by his side. John officiated their marriage. Eric was the best man. Violet was the ring bearer. Scarlet was the maid of honor again. 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. That made Hannah, Sebastian, and everyone present at the scene burst into laughter. It was the craziest and most dysfunctional wedding but they all had immense fun because they were happy. 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. Hannah was in charge of designing it. They broke t

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.
