Hannah's POV
I was returning to my post after my lunch break when my phone rang. I stopped from entering the lift as I answered the call.
"Hello, Juliet?" I was surprised to receive a call from her. It was the first time since I left home.
"Hannah, mom is in the hospital. We need money." She said on the other end of the line.
"What? Why? I mean, what happened to her?" I asked worriedly.
"Hmm... According to the doctor, she has gastroenteriti
I couldn't believe my eyes as the driver glimpsed at me. "R-Robert?" I uttered anxiously. "Surprised to see me? Well, money really works. Would you believe who told me where you are?" "W-Who?" I asked. "Your dearest sister. I am starting to doubt if you're really siblings. Why would she choose money over her sister?" "Impossible." I couldn't believe him. Although we're really not close as siblings
Alexander put me down inside his car, and we left the place. I was silent the whole journey. Although I was grateful that he saved me once again, I couldn't accept that he lied to me. Grumpy and tired, I didn't notice that I fell asleep. I just found myself lying on a soft bed. I opened my eyes, but a strange room welcomed my sight. We're not in his condo? Then, where are we? I looked around. The room was bigger than the one in his condo. Then, I caught sight of Alexander. "You're awake. Are you still mad at me?" He asked as he sat down beside the bed. &n
I woke to bright sunlight shining through the window. I checked the time. Oh my! I would be late for work. I instantly got up from the bed. However, a strong arm suddenly stopped me. That's the only time that I noticed Alexander. He was still lying on the bed. "Sleep some more." He mumbled with his eyes closed as he wrapped his arms around my waist. "But it's only Wednesday. We have work." "Let's not go to work today." "I can't, I still have some reports to finish," I uttered softly as I tried to get u
The transition went out smoothly. Just like when I got married, everything happened in a snap. I was now working as my husband's secretary. I didn't expect that meeting him unexpectedly that night would transpire into something good like this. It's been a week already since Alex revealed his real identity. But until now, I couldn't believe that the President of the Prime Group of Companies was my husband. Moreover, I couldn't believe that he would treat me more than I deserve. Oh Lord, if it's just a dream, I don't want to wake up anymore. Who would have thought that the known cold-hearted billionaire was in love with someone like me? I used to smile every time I would recall how I first thought that he was some kin
When I checked my post on my social media account, it had twenty reactions and eight comments already. I chuckled as I read the comments one by one. Emily commented, 'How to be you, frienny? You're so lucky! I'm so happy for you!❤' Jane, my high school friend, also commented, 'I'm jealous! Where can I find a man like him?' Karen, my officemate from my previous company, said, 'Hannah, who's that man? Face reveal!' And so on. I was busy replying to the comments on my post when Alexander noticed me giggli
In the blink of an eye, Alex had changed. I didn't comprehend what happened. It seemed that he was not the same Alex that I used to know. And this was the day I dread the most. To wake up to the truth and realize that everything was just nothing but a dream. That night, Alex didn't sleep in our room. I was feeling restless. I couldn't sleep either. I shed tears until my eyes got dry. Confusion washed over me. I asked myself multiple times, what went wrong? What happened? If this was only a nightmare, I wanted to wake up. It was the most emotional distress I have been through in my life. I was so devas
I spent overnight in the office finishing the reports. I didn't even manage to eat. Sigh. The feeling that I was working alone in the office was depressing. I kept on checking my phone. Hoping that Alex would text or call me. Unfortunately, I was hoping for nothing. Funny. I still wished for an impossible thing. Gone were the days that Alex cared for me. He didn't talk to me the whole day. He didn't invite me to eat lunch and didn't even look at me when he left the office. I didn't know what's the matter with him. Was it really that easy for him to put everything aside? My heart was shattered into a million pieces, thinking that Alex
I looked at Alexander with a complicated stare, but he glanced at me stoically. I couldn't read what was on his mind. I couldn't read his emotions either. "I saw you and your woman in the library. Is she your new lover? Is everything between us over? Or perhaps there's really no us? What Alex? Tell me!" I muttered angrily when he didn't respond. My heart rate sped up, afraid to hear his reply. What if he admitted that she's indeed his new lover, that we're really over? "Don't dare to leave because I can find you wherever you go." Alex threatened me. Then, he turned and went out of the room without ans
"Grandpa?" I uttered. Tears stung my eyes. I couldn't believe that he was smiling brightly in front of me. My heart was filled with mixed emotions. I lowered my body and hugged my grandfather. After a while, I raised my head. I glanced at Alex and then back to my grandfather. I had so many questions in my mind that I couldn't manage to ask. My grandfather gently wiped my tears. "Don't cry, my princess. You just gave birth to my great-grandchild." He mumbled in his wavering voice. "I missed you, grandpa. I'm glad that you're fine. I'm so sorry if I left you." I mumbled as I held his hands.
Nine months later. I was preparing for my prenatal check-up when I heard a knock on the door. I glanced at myself in the mirror first and got my bag before I walked out of my room. My tummy was now as big as a round watermelon. Anytime, I would give birth to my baby boy. I was so excited. Everything was ready, from his tiny clothes to his bed. I smiled as I opened the door. It was Arnold. He used to accompany me whenever I would go to my OB since I reached the third trimester of my pregnancy. Although I refused several times, he told me that it's better if I have someone with me, especially now that I would give birth anytime.
When I woke up, I was already lying on the bed in a strange room. I looked around and saw Alex. He was talking on the phone on the balcony. It was already dark outside, so I checked the time. It's ten in the evening already. After a while, Alex ended the call and came back to the room. I sat down on the bed as Alex approached me. "You're awake. How are you feeling?" He asked with a bright smile on his lips. "What happened?" I questioned. "You fainted earlier." He answered, but his smile didn't vanish from his lips.
My heart was pounding tremendously in my chest as I slowly raised my head. I breathed a sigh of relief when Alex finally moved and spoke."Are you okay?" He asked in a soft voice.I gazed at his steely blue eyes as I gently nodded my head. Tears burned my eyes, still frightened of what happened. Thank goodness that he's safe. I thought he got shot since he shielded me when I heard the gunshots."I-I'm s-scared," I mumbled in a trembling voice."Don't be scared. I'm here to protect you." Alex uttered as he wiped
I was certain that grandpa had his reasons why he transferred part of his shares to me and not to my dad. But what's his reason? Sigh. I regretted that I didn't insist on knowing. He was about to say it that night when we had talked. However, it's too late now. I signed the Share Transfer Agreement as I thought that it's a simple document and had nothing to do with me. Moreover, I trusted my dad and Jenna. Little did I know that my own father was plotting against me. I swallowed dryly. Then, I took a d
My grandfather fell into a coma. I didn't know what happened. My parents just told me that he didn't wake up that morning. That's why they immediately brought him to the hospital.Hence, I rushed to the hospital. He was already in the intensive care unit (ICU) when I arrived.I couldn't believe my eyes. He was lying on the bed with several apparatus on his body. We just talked the other night, and he seemed well at that time. How come that he was now in a coma?"Mom, what happened?" I asked worriedly."According to the doctor, he suffered from a stroke while sleeping. It resulted in a coma due to the significant impact on his brain. The doctors are still checking
I took a deep breath before I anxiously turned the doorknob of Alex's office. However, I was surprised at the sight when I opened the door. "A-Alex?" I uttered as my eyes roamed around the room. Mr. Scott, John, and Mr. Adams were also there. They were smiling at me as I stepped into the room. "Surprised!" Mr. Scott exclaimed. "What's going on here?" I asked as I furrowed my forehead. "Guess what? We successfully proved that the renewal of the insurance should take effect even in the absence of the Renewal Advice." Mr. Scott explained while Alex walked towards me and held me on the waist.
My grandfather leaned back on the couch while waiting for my answer. However, I really couldn't find the words to say. I was afraid of what would be his reaction when I admitted the truth. His expression became gentle as he patted my hand. "I will not get mad. Just tell me the truth. Your parents told me that you denied it, but they learned you're seeing him again. So, I want to know the truth from you." "Y-Yes, grandpa. I-I lied to them because--" My grandfather interrupted me. "Don't worry. I understand. You don't have to explain." He uttered with an approving smile.
Alex didn't respond. I glanced at him. He seemed to be in deep thought with his jaw clenched and knitted brows. I didn't speak anymore as I didn't want to give him any more worries. Alex had been very busy the next few days. He looked so exhausted already with dark circles under his eyes. He's still trying to find ways how they could file claims since he would suffer a huge loss if he's not able to get any cents from the insurance company. He consulted their Legal Team and other lawyers for any possible resolution about the matter. Sigh. I couldn't afford to see him like this. And I couldn't just stay silent, knowing that there's a way on how to solve the issue about their insurance claims. Thus I de
