Earthly Paradise's Stranger

Hannah“If you bend over a little bit more, I might just give you a bigger tip.” A huge guy in a red leather jacket said loudly as I cleared the table opposite his.“Damn girl are you on the menu too? I’d order you anytime.” His friend added whistling as they broke into raucous laughter.Those words weren’t new to me anymore. Catcalling was a regular thing with the men in Earthly Paradise nightclub. I’d heard it too many times and learned how to shove it all down instead of getting affected by it. Lately, I just flash a smile and move along whenever a customer makes a flirtatious advance about my beauty or crosses a line with an inappropriate sexual comment.I hated working here and did not want to entertain any more of their antics, but I did not have any other option. It was the only place I could find that would hire a college dropout with no degree.For years I blamed my sister, Lily for how our lives turned out. She tore our family apart. Years ago, our father won a contract de

An Unexpected Offer

HannahI felt a sharp headache as I slowly blinked my eyes open, wondering where I was.The room felt unfamiliar, decorated with tall ceilings, artworks, and designs as I scanned my eyes around.I tried to sit up, but a painful knot twisted in my stomach, forcing me back onto the bed. That’s when my eyes caught him, standing with arms crossed behind his back in front of the wide glass windows.Immediately, I panicked and my heart started racing, fearing the worst. He was wearing a black suit, with beautiful brown hair slicked backward.Suddenly he turned towards me and his gaze met mine instantly. I was struck by his features; blue eyes as deep as the ocean, a stubble jawline, and high cheekbones. It felt oddly strange. I wasn’t one to swoon easily, but something about this man made my heart skip.“Oh good you’re awake,” he said with a smile that sent chills down my spine.“Wh-who are you? Where am I?” I asked, forcing myself up from the bed, but before he could say anything, I sudde

A Letter From The Past

Ethan‘After all these years, why am I still hung up on you?’ I sighed as Clint drove back home.I now realize why I was infatuated by her. She reminded me of Lily; her grace, her calmness, these were all things that Lily had, things I loved about her. But now that feeling had been replaced with something I wanted to let go of, but still couldn’t – resentment.A part of me despised and hated her for what she did to me, but another part of me still held on to her, wanting her despite the pain she’d caused me.Seeing Hannah that night stirred some conflicting feelings inside me. Feelings about Lily. I wanted her to suffer, to be trampled with nothing but pain. To feel torn the same way I did when she left me. I wanted to be the one to cause her tears, but also dry them and love her softly as she dealt with that pain.Her betrayal stung so deeply. She was the last person I expected to ever do something like that to me, which was why I found it hard to get her off my mind. Lily wasn’t li

Return To Paradise

Ethan“How long?” I asked, my finger tracing the edge of the envelope.“How long have you had this?” Jane glanced at Reginald nervously and the latter avoided her gaze.“How long, Jane?!” I bellowed angrily, causing her to tremble in fear.“I’m-I’m sorry Master Ethan, I didn’t know how to tell you. I found the letter about a month ago in Ms. Young’s room.” Aunt Jane said quickly and breathed out as if a heavy load had been lifted from her chest.A soft scoff escaped my lips. It took a while to process what she had said. I couldn’t believe it, I didn't want to. This entire time, I imagined the worst had happened to her, but it turned out she wasn’t lost, she just didn’t want to come back to me. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks as a wry smile parted my lips.Slowly, I tore open the envelope and pulled out the letter, my heart beating faster as I unfolded it.“Ethan, I’m sorry I have to say goodbye this way. You deserve more than a piece of paper, but it’s the only way I can

The Forced Choice

HannahI rushed through my door and immediately headed to my bedroom, my mind still reeling from that strange offer.I couldn’t believe I was even still thinking about this. Five million dollars was a huge amount of money, but it wasn’t worth getting married to someone I did not know.Wiping my forehead nervously, I sat down and opened my laptop, glad that I had at least made it back home in time for the Screenwriter examination. Immediately, an email notification popped up on my screen from Royal Group, and anxiously, I clicked on it.My eyes widened in horror as I read the mail, “Rejected?” I blurted in disbelief, slumping into my seat.“But I haven’t even taken the examination yet.” I thought, trying to process what was happening. Soon as the realization set in, my whole body weakened and tears welled up in my eyes. This was my dream, my only hope of taking care of my mother’s medical bills. I’d done everything right, and followed all the application rules, so why was I rejected?

The Night Guest

HannahI thought signing my signature on that contract would be the toughest thing, but walking back home, legally married to a man you did not know topped it.My mind shook still as I walked back home. My thoughts racing, a mix of disbelief and fear. I didn’t even know my husband’s name, but judging from everything he did just to get me to sign this contract, I surmised he must have been a big-time figure. Still, for all I knew he could have been a cold ruthless man. Any man who gave tough ultimatums on the condition of a marriage had to be.‘What did I get myself into?’ I muttered to myself as I continued walking down the street, tears welling in my eyes.I tried to look at the bright side of things. I now had five million dollars to my name, but the cost of it made it more difficult to feel good about it.For years, I’d promised myself that I wouldn’t fall victim to the games of another man, or bare my heart so open to the point it gets broken, but he had left me no choice.Here

Her friend, Grace

Hannah shrieked at the sound of the voice and recoiled immediately, scanning her eyes around to find the source of it. As soon as her face landed on the small figure, she patted her forehead in relief, holding her chest in her hands.“Don’t do that Grace.” She said in relief, tossing her bag over a chair.Grace was Hannah’s best friend, or at least she called herself that. In the actual sense of it, she was Hannah’s only friend since she came to the city. Despite having other friends, and trying to introduce them to Hannah. She found out it was a futile attempt, and decided to just let it go. “Do what? Walk into my best friend’s house when she’s not around? How else am I supposed to find the man she’s been hiding away all this time?” Grace teased with a warm smile and stood up.“What man?” Hannah suddenly asked, her brows arching in confusion.“C’mon Hannah. You know that act doesn’t work on me. A man left you flowers at your doorstep with a letter. Why didn’t you tell me you were s

The Marriage Reveal

“What are you talking about?” Grace asked, shooting her a curious stare.Hannah looked disturbed, there was no easy way to say this. She knew what Grace’s reaction would be the minute she told her that she had gotten married. “Well say it already Hannah? What is it?” Grace interrupted her train of thought.Hannah heaved a deep sigh, stood from the bed, and walked toward her bedroom window with a troubled expression. Looking outside, she wished this could all go away. Her life had completely changed in just a few hours and she was losing control.The worst part of this is that she knew she was trapped. There was nothing else to do, and even if there was, she had already signed the marriage contract and had just a few hours to hand it over to Ethan, and with Alfred Wolfe now after her, all her hopes of getting her life back had slithered away. If she refused to marry Ethan Ford, surely it wouldn’t take long for Alfred to find her. But on the other hand, if she went ahead with this sha

Conflicted Ideas

Hannah pulled out of the hug and walked away uncomfortably without saying a word.She still felt hesitant to tell Grace about who her new husband was. “Who is it, Hannah? Who did you marry?” Grace asked again.“Ethan…” Hannah muttered.“What was that?” Grace asked, straining her ears.“Ethan, Grace. I’m married to Ethan Ford.” She finally blurted.Immediately Grace heard the name, she almost broke into laughter. The Fords were the most powerful family in the city of Davenport, owning multiple small chain businesses, shares, and properties that made them almost like the original settlers of that city, and Ethan was the poster boy for how influential and ruthless the Fords could be. Certainly, there was no way, Hannah would have agreed to marry that ruthless cold bastard, Grace thought.However, seeing the sad unhinged look on Hannah’s face, she could tell that her friend was serious. “Wait, so the man that you married is Ethan Ford?” Grace asked again, seeking confirmation.However,

Ambushed

Author's POVHannah slumped to the floor and wept bitterly after Grace walked out. Everything was happening all at once and she did not know how to handle it. In a few days, she had lost almost everything and now she had just sent the only person she could rely on, out the door.However, right at that moment, her phone suddenly beeped. Hannah glanced at it and saw a text with the directions from the same number that called earlier. Wiping away her tears, she stood up and rushed to the bathroom for a quick bath and after a few minutes she was done. She quickly dressed up, grabbed her things, and stood in front of the mirror.Taking a deep breath, she began, “You got this Hannah. Just go there and amaze them. You know you already have all that it takes and credible knowledge. This might be your last chance, so go and get it.” She said, trying to spark up her confidence.After this, Hannah quickly glanced at the text again, confirming the address, and then quickly stepped out.She rushe
