--- A few moments later, I find my mother in the packhouse, confined to her private office. The moment I step into the room, she lifts her chin, composed and regal as ever. “Daniel,” she greets, her voice smooth, and calculated. “Come to apologize for earlier?” I shut the door behind me, my wo
DANIEL. (Hours later) Beep, beep… The rhythmic beeping of the life machines is the only thing keeping me tethered to reality while I sit beside Hannah’s hospital bed, with my fingers wrapped around hers, feeling the faint warmth of her skin. She looks too fragile from her usual vibrant face
Slowly, I open my palm, revealing the golden engagement ring. Her lips part, eyes wide. "Daniel…" "Will you still be my wife even after what you went through," I ask her, my voice is rough with emotion. A shaky laugh escapes her, half disbelief, and half something softer. "Are you serious?"
HANNAH. Thump!!! Roxanne collapses like a puppet with its strings cut. Her body crumples to the cold hospital floor and immediately a part of me wants to roll my eyes because, really? After all her theatrics, she’s resorting to this? I scoff, crossing my arms as I glance up at Daniel. "Oh, com
Daniel strides toward the door, glancing back at me. "Babe, I’ll be right back." “Okay,” I nod, but my throat feels tight as I watch him disappear into the hallway, leaving me alone in the hospital room. For the first time, I wonder if the goddess will forgive me for my wrong assumptions about R
I smile, warmth spreading through me. “So,” she continues, “how far along are you with the wedding preparations?” I groan. “Honestly? I have no idea. Margaret took it upon herself to plan everything…Now Daniel wants me to plan everything from scratch.” Stacy’s lips curve into a huge smile. “Oh
HANNAH. I watch in disbelief as Roxanne’s parents, a wealthy and respected looking couple, look at Daniel with desperation. "If money is what you need," her father says, pulling out a checkbook, "we will pay you whatever amount you want. Just allow Roxanne to stay with you in her final days."
Karen hesitates for a second, her eyes flickering to Daniel before nodding. "Right away, Luna." Daniel arches a brow, a small smirk playing on his lips. "I'm glad you are returning to our room," he teases. "this way, l will take care of you even better." I whirl around, my patience already hangi

Stacy sighs dramatically. “Men.” I grin, shaking my head. But deep down, I know how lucky we are. After everything, we made it. We fought our battles, we endured the worst, and we won. Now, we have everything we ever wanted... Love, family, and a future brighter than we ever imagined. And fo
HANNAH. An hour later, Laughter and music fill the air as guests drink, dance, and toast to our happiness. Alpha Jason and Stacy are still smirking from the earlier spectacle, but even they are caught up in the lighthearted atmosphere. Daniel never leaves my side. His hand stays firmly on my
Daniel stiffens. His entire body goes rigid, as his jaw tightens so hard I swear I hear his teeth grind. “What?” His voice is barely more than a growl. I nod, my grip on his hand tightening. “You heard me.” Fury flashes in his eyes, dark and dangerous. He doesn’t even hesitate before turning on h
HANNAH. I freeze in the doorway, my breath hitching as my brain struggles to catch up with the sight before me. Roxanne and Adrian. Together! Their bodies are tangled together with their hands greedy, and their lips locked in a desperate, forbidden kiss. Clothes are haphazardly disheveled, Roxann
I stare at the pile, then burst out laughing. “Were you two planning to open a pharmacy?” Daniel smirks. “Figured it was better to be thorough.” I shake my head, grabbing one of the tests and handing it to Stacy. “Alright, go pee on this.” Stacy glares at me like I just asked her to do something
HANNAH “You, get a doctor! Now!” Daniel’s voice booms through the wedding venue, commanding instant obedience from the nearest guard. But even as the order leaves his lips, I tighten my grip on his arm. “Baby, I am a doctor, remember?” His eyes flick to mine, realization dawning before he steps a
HANNAH. "Uh-uh, no, not today" Stacy says the moment her eyes land on Margaret. "Please, just hear me out," Margaret pleads, standing in a simple deep red dress suited for her age. She looks… hesitant, so unlike her usual self. Gone is the cold authority, and the condescending stare. Instead, he
HANNAH. (Hours later) Dinner is tense, the air thick with an unspoken rivalry that neither Roxanne nor I are willing to acknowledge outright. The dining room is dimly lit, with the scent of roasted chicken filling the air, but I can barely focus on the food. My attention is solely on Daniel and
