CHAPTER 11 - With Friends

ARDMORE, Oklahoma.Gloria (Mrs. Copperfield), and Bridget are in the living room watching TV. They are currently staying at Clarise’s house, Hannah’s best friend.Concurrently, the exhausted, brokenhearted Hannah was still asleep when someone knocked on the door. Still sleepy, she stood up and marched to the door. When she opened it she saw Clarise holding a birthday cake while Zane and their friends Leon and Jack were singing a Happy Birthday song.Hannah’s lips quivered in glee, and she couldn’t help but sob for joy. Clarise’s brows furrowed in concern, “Why are you crying?” She asked.“Is it because Jack’s voice is out of tune? Zane says mockingly.“Hey!” Jack retorts while nudging Zane.Hannah starts laughing at how childish they are.“Enough of that. Blow your candle, Hannah, make a wish, then we’ll drink plenty.” Leon declared.Clarise gasped, “Drink? You? You always end up puking your guts after a few shots.” She commented.Leon's face turned scarlet in shame. “That’s one time.

CHAPTER 12 - Three Years Ago

XANDER’s weird behavior lingers in Lani’s mind, and she can’t fathom why her son acts like he cares about Hannah’s absence.“Did my son grow a liking to that conniving woman?” She yelled at herself, then soon shook that idea off as it made her want to vomit just thinking of it.She marched to Xander’s room thinking that he was inside, but to his surprise, when she knocked no one answered. She opened the door and saw the clothes on the floor. She is about to leave and demands the servant to clean the mess as Xander hates it.Before she could close the door, an item in the bin caught her attention. She picked it up and saw that they were the divorce papers.She flipped the pages and saw the agreement. “A house in Austin, Texas, allowance for Bridget till college, and a car of party B's (Hannah's) liking.” She mumbled. “After the papers are signed, party B (Hannah) must leave the mansion immediately.” She uttered.She reached the last page of the document and saw Hannah and Xander's signa

CHAPTER 13 - Blue-eyed Blonde Siblings

THE group arrived at the Miller Mansion. After Ashton and Toby carried Xander to his room, Denise volunteered to stay to take care of Xander. Toby gave her a judgmental gaze. He was about to say something, but before he could speak his mind. Xander answered, “All of you get out!” He yelled. “Hannah!” “Hannah!” He kept on calling for her.Denise felt a cold bucket of water thrown at her. “Why is he still looking for her?” She asks in a gentle voice that makes her look so fragile and pitiful.Ashton patted her back to console her. Denise sneers discreetly because she is not putting the act for Ashton. She wants Xander to feel sorry for her, but the latter is too drunk to care and keeps on yelling his wife’s name.“Hannah! My head hurts. Come and take care of me!” he demanded. Denise leans close to him and tries to massage his head, but before she can, Xander pushes her hand away, "Don't touch me, you're not my wife." He remarks in a cold tone.Toby smirked, “Now you are looking for he

CHAPTER 14 - Ginger

TOBY glances at Hannah’s face. He is enjoying the sight. Her jovial smile and shining light brown eyes are full of hope. Far from the woman in the Miller mansion who is always on edge and uneasy. Soon, he bids them goodbye as he needs to drive back to Texas. His trip from Ardmore, Oklahoma back to Dallas, Texas will take 2–3 hours. As he entered his car, Hannah carried Bridget and waved him goodbye. "Bye. Un... Un... cle. Toby." Bridget tried her best as she waved to him. Bridget always loved her uncle Toby because he always smiled and was soft-spoken. She once called Toby Daddy and thought Toby was her actual father because he was always nice to her. -He found the scene adorable, and he couldn’t stop smiling. “Look at what you are missing, Xander.” He muttered and soon sped away.Later that day…As Zane suggested, Hannah, Clarise, together with Leon, went to a salon. While waiting, Leon availed a foot massage. Clarise, on the other hand, checked all the available wigs in the salo

CHAPTER 15 - Useful Little Tool

KATARINA was lying flat on her stomach on her mother’s bed and couldn’t help but grin while she was typing on her phone.Lani, who just got out of the bathroom, noticed it immediately, “What are you smiling about?” She asks curiously as she walks to her daughter.Katarina showed her phone to her mother, “This!” She mumbled proudly.Lani gasped, and then her eyes narrowed in glee.“My dear brother might prevent us from announcing it to the press, but we could still spread a few rumors around.” She uttered playfully as she finished her email to an online newsgroup.Lani patted her daughter’s back, “That’s my girl.” She remarked. “Rumor today, reality the next day.” She muttered under her breath.MEANWHILE, Clarise, Hannah, and Leon had just gotten home when Hannah talked about coming back to work. Clarise felt elated to hear it, “Good it's about time. The company needs its analyst, especially in the changes and quick shift of interests in people nowadays,” she muttered.Leon giggles, “

CHAPTER 16 - Ladies of the Miller Mansion

THE makeup on Hannah’s wrists was washed away after bathing Bridget. The bruises on her wrist are still there. She smiled bitterly, “I wonder how angry they would be if they had seen these bruises. Bruises that are hard to make excuses for. What could I tell them? I accidentally tied myself to the bed, then tried my best to free myself,” She mumbled mockingly to herself as she took a jacket to hide her wrists.Then she smiles at her reflection. She is thankful that the wound on her lip and bruise on her cheek are almost invisible and easy to hide using a light concealer.Soon she sat on the bed staring at her sleeping daughter. She sighed deeply and soon checked the phone Clarise had given her.She types in a number she remembers by heart, she’s about to press the call button but changes her mind.“Why do I miss him? All he gave me was coldness and humiliation,” She thought. She was about to sleep through her despair, but she suddenly received a message from Clarise. She opens it, and

CHAPTER 17 - The Hive

EARLY in the morning when Hannah received a message from Atlas Carone.“The divorce has been finalized.” The text reads.In a heartbeat, her three years of marriage with Xander ended, and she was littered with mixed emotions. She wanted to cry and celebrate at the same time.She hadn’t thought of how to react when Clarise burst inside the room, “Have you received the message from Atlas,” She yelled out.Hannah nods.Clarise ran to her and gave her a warm hug. “You’re free from the Millers.” She added.Hannah smiled faintly and could only nod. “Yeah, but…” She paused. “It's just the beginning. We have joint custody of Bridget, so… I will still see Xander once or twice a week.” She explains.She lowered her head in woe, “I really want sole custody, but I think that’s the best option he could give me without any trouble.” She remarked.Clarise patted her back, “It’s okay. I might not like him, but he’s still Bridget’s father.” She sighed and then beamed as an idea came up to her. “How abo

CHAPTER 18

DENISE can sense how Xander’s mood changes for the worse when Clarise announces the divorce in public.“Seems like Hannah is enjoying herself and can’t wait to have a new man around her.” She commented while smiling gleefully as she wrapped her hands around Xander’s arms.Xander glared at her the moment she spoke those words, and she slowly let go of his arm and could only grit her teeth discreetly.Oblivious to Xander’s bad temper, Ashton seconded Denise’s comment. “Seems like the gold digger has already given up bewitching you and looking for a new man to swindle. I pity the next guy.” He mumbles while eyeing the girls on the dance floor.“You should be enjoying yourself too. Especially when Denise is here.” He added without glancing at Xander. He didn’t notice that Xander had already left his seat.When Toby got back to their table, only Ashton and Denise were there.“Where’s Xander?” He asks.Ashton turned around and then shrugged. “He was just there a moment ago.” He remarks.Den

CHAPTER 19

BACK at THE HIVE bar.“Xander’s car is gone and Hannah is not with her friends. Where could they be?” Denise yelled at the top of her lungs. “Denise, calm yourself,” Ashton mumbles softly while trying his best to contact Xander’s phone, but his calls remain unanswered.“It’s that bitch again. She’s trying to seduce Xander.” She accuses as she paces in the parking lot. Ashton lowered his head, “I can’t reach Xander anymore. I think he turned off his phone.” He uttered.“Did you know where she stays? Maybe Xander is in there too.” She said desperately.Soon, Ashton dialed a number, “Hey, it's me. Do you have an address for Hannah Smith?” He asks the man on the other line who is clearly awoken by his call.The man sighs, “Yes. I do.”Ashton grinned, “Great.”The man then proceeded to give the address.“Told tell my father about this,” Ashton remarks.Soon the call ended. He glanced at the distressed Denise. “I have an address,” he uttered. CONCURRENTLY, at the hotel.Breathless from a

CHAPTER 20

DENISE and Ashton park their car a block away from Clarise's house. They watch how Clarise, Zane, and Leon return to the house.They even discreetly check if Xander is with them inside the car, but no trace of him or Hannah.Denise grew impatient and wanted to march in there and ask them, but Ashton assured her that even if Xander was left alone with Hannah he wouldn't do anything because Hannah was no more than a thing that he used when he was feeling lonely and that now Denise -- the love of his life was back he could simply pour all that to her.Denise did not feel better, and it only added more to her anxiety."Can you call Toby? Maybe he knew where they were. He is friends with that bitch." She cried out worriedly.Ashton cleared his throat, "Friend" is a strong word. Toby is just being nice to her because of Xander, but now that they are divorcing, I don't think Toby would care about her." He pointed out.She grunted, "Just call him." She uttered in annoyance.He sighed and then
