All Chapters of Mayor's Dutiful Wife: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

He woke up from his deep slumber and found no one beside him. He didn't remember when was the last time he has had a good night's sleep. He did his daily routine and got ready for the day.  He went downstairs and the first thing he did was to look for her. She was sitting in the living room dressed up in a professional outfit, her hair tied up. He furrowed his eyebrows confused out of his mind.   Her aimless gaze landed on him and she immediately stood up.  "How are you?" He asked "I'm okay..." She answered not meeting his eyes.  "Did you have breakfast?" He asked.  She shook her head in negative. "No..."  "Come on," he said to her and she walked behind him with her head down.  Karen was already sitting at the breakfast table when Sebastian walked in with Hannah behind him. Karen eyed both of them, Sebastian didn't come to his bedroom last night and it made her think that Hannah was be

The next morning, Hannah woke up and did her daily routine. She dressed up professionally, tied her hair. She heaved a sigh and stared at herself in the mirror. Sebastian's apology from last night played in her mind over and over again.  She dreamed of him saying those words to her. She wished that he'd call her Anna one more time. She yearned for his warm hugs and his sweet words and last night when he finally did all those things... She couldn't feel anything. And the thought scared her. What if she is never able to love again.  She closed her eyes and reminisced about their past love life. She then remembered how he protected her when no one else did. How he always knew what she needed just by reading the look on her face. How he always knew how to cheer her up. How his presence gave her strength to endure the abuse she received.  Tears poured down her face but she smiled... She smiled because she felt it... She felt her heart glowing once a

They were back home after their little trip to New York City. Hannah finally felt relieved, the constant fear she had in her mind before wasn't there anymore. Sebastian had been nothing but cooperative to everything she wanted. Her bedroom didn't feel like a prison anymore.  She knew she owe Sebastian an apology too and maybe finally tell him everything but she was afraid of his reaction. He was an impatient, impulsive, and hot-headed man. She was worried about how he may react after knowing everything.  Someone knocked on the door while she was doing her hair.  "Come in," she said concentrating on her hairstyle. It was difficult to tie her long, volumized hair in a bun.  "Hey," Sebastian said standing behind her in the mirror. Her eyes connected with his in the mirror and a small cute smile graced her lips.  "Good morning!" she said rather cheerfully as she finally put in the last bobby pin.  "Mor

The smell of antiseptics, cold metal bed rails, soft pillows, crisp sheets, squeaky clean white ceiling, bland walls, and an IV attached to my arm.  Definitely a hospital.  I groaned as I awakened with a monster headache. I closed my eyes, fighting off nausea. I was trying to remember through the pain, how did I end up in a hospital?  "Anna" Sebastian's voice fell on my ears. "S--- Seb..." "Hey, just relax..." He caressed my cheeks and I leaned into his soothing touch.  "What happened?" I asked him.  "You passed out at the party," he said, I could clearly see how worried he was.  "Oh..." That was all I managed to say. I glanced at him and he was already looking at me with a deep frown. "It's not a big deal," I told him nonchalantly.  "Anna—" He pursed his lips and squeezed his eyes shut. "Hannah, the doctors told me that you suffer from PTSD and depression..." He said with conc

"Eric, you need to let me in" Tucker pleaded for the sixth time.  "Why?" Eric asked his eyes glued to his laptop's screen.  "I really need to talk to Sebastian," he said  "So does half of the town. I'll let you know when your time comes. According to his busy schedule, he will be able to meet you in about six years from now" Eric said still working on his laptop.  "It's important!"  "So is his time" Eric replied in a bored, uninterested manner.  "What if Hannah's life is in danger?" Tucker asked "Then I would say that you are lying because I talked to her a second ago" Not once did he glance at Tucker.  "Eva and Nancy are planning something" Tucker blurted out and that caught Eric's attention.  "What do you mean? For Hannah?"  "Yes..."  Eric looked around and saw everyone busy with their work. He thought for a second and nodded.  "Let
