Truth About Lily

Author’s POVHannah’s breath hitched, her body frozen in place as the figure’s words played in her mind. She felt every instinct telling her to run, but her legs refused to move. She couldn’t, not without information about Lily. It was after all the only reason she came out here tonight.“What do you mean?” She demanded, her voice although shaky, she was determined, trying to hide the fear surging through her body.“Where is Lily? Tell me!”The figure’s grip tightened for a moment, and then released her and took a step back. The figure chuckled ominously for some time in a way that only irritated Hannah more.“It’s quite ironic that you’ve been searching the whole world for her and she has been closer than you think the whole time.”Immediately Hannah heard this, her eyes widened in surprise.‘Lily is close?’ She thought to herself, finding it hard to believe.She quickly searched her purse for her phone, fumbling with it to find her way out of the Pier. Clearly, she had wasted her t

Caught

Author’s POVThe figure took a step back, seeing how unsettled she was. “Why?!” Hannah yelled, and a dark sinister smile appeared beneath the shadow of the hood.“Why?” He repeated.“Because dear Hannah, this is just the beginning. You thought marrying Ethan was the solution to your problems, but it’s only led you into more danger.”“He’s not the man you think he is.” Just then, the sound of approaching footsteps cut through the air, startling both Hannah and the mysterious figure.Hannah quickly shifted her gaze toward the direction of the footsteps, but before she could turn back, the figure had disappeared into the shadows, just as a pair of headlights illuminated the Pier.Scanning her eyes in confusion, Hannah turned to see a black car pulling up slowly. Her pulse quickened as she glanced at the car, unsure of who was behind the wheel. Was it Ethan? Did he follow her? Or was it someone else entirely? These questions filled her mind as she cautiously walked toward the car, her h

The Confrontation

Author’s POVThe closer Ethan got to her, the faster Hannah’s heart was beating. But she knew she could not allow her nervousness to show or else Ethan might feel more suspicious of her activities.“I just needed some air,” Hannah said, her voice wavering as she spoke.Hearing this, Ethan’s lips curled into a faint smile, almost as if he had her right where he wanted.“Air, at this hour?” He asked, circling her slowly with a scrutinizing gaze.“You really think you can sneak out without me knowing and then try lying about it? Do you take me for a fool, Hannah?”Hannah’s her started becoming shaky, but she clenched her fist, trying to hold her ground, “I didn’t do anything wrong.” She replied, her voice firmer this time.“I just needed to think. Alone.” She said and then locked gazes with him,“What? I can’t even do that?”Ethan suddenly stopped in front of her, his gaze piercing into hers, “You think I don’t know what’s going on in your head?” He asked softly, his hand brushing a stra

Digging for Information

Author’s POVFor a short moment, Hannah did not move. She did not understand how a man who had just made her whole body yearn with desire a few moments ago, could suddenly turn so cold.She stared at him unflinchingly, her mind running wild with thoughts.‘What happened to him?’ She finally asked herself, trying to see another side of Ethan.She had heard so much from different people about him but had never formed her own opinion of him. Not that he had given her a chance to with how cold and controlling he acted toward her most times. At this point, Hannah did not know what to believe. Reginald had told her that Ethan was not as bad as he seemed, but then there was the hooded figure at the Pier, warning her that he wasn’t what she thought he was.“Did you hear me?” Ethan’s voice sounded, breaking her out of her thoughts.“Yes, Ethan.” She whimpered.Immediately she turned to leave, her feet shaking as she walked away, but then Ethan’s voice suddenly stopped her, “And oh, Hannah.”H

Lily's Picture

Author’s POVHannah held her breath, waiting for Grace’s response. She already knew how Grace felt about her marriage with Ethan and was not expecting her to jump to her aid, but the silence on the other end of the line was deafening.“You want me to investigate Ethan Ford?” Grace finally asked, breaking the silence, her voice laced with shock. Hannah bit her lip, her heart racing as she contemplated this idea again, doubts creeping in.‘Was this the right thing to do? Was she about to cross a line she couldn’t come back from?’ she wondered, staring blankly at her bedroom wall. Ethan did not seem like the kind of man she should mess with, but she had to know the truth. There was too much at stake, too many unanswered questions that left her intrigued.“I need to know who he really is Grace,” Hannah replied in a low tone.“There’s something… something dark about him. I can feel it.” She continued, her voice cracking with fear.Grace remained quiet for some time, processing the weight

Unannounced Visit

Author’s POV The bustling sound of lawnmowers awoke Hannah by 8 a.m. that morning. She had spent some hours in the night, stuck on Lily’s picture, her mind filled with many thoughts and questions until eventually she drifted off to sleep. Stretching her arms, she glanced at the alarm clock by her bedside and sprang up immediately after she saw the time. Today was the party Ethan had been preaching about and if she was late or unprepared, he was going to kill her. She ran towards her box of clothes, searching for anything decent she could wear, which seemed a lot harder than she thought. Ethan had stretched the importance of this party so much, but in all those times he never mentioned what the party was really about, making her choice of outfit difficult to make, not as if she had anything suitable for an occasion as this. This was going to be her first ever party, surrounded by a set of wealthy class she only saw on TV broadcasts and read about in books. Certainly, even her most

Compromises

Author’s POV Upon hearing this, Hannah stood frozen at the door, her pulse quickening as Ethan’s words echoed in her mind. ‘What did Nicolas mean by she was the right fit for Ethan?’ Was that supposed to be a compliment? A warning? Or something more sinister. Something about the way he said it, made her certain his words were not well meant. She slammed the door in frustration, leaning against it for a moment, her heart pounding in her chest. Nicolas’ visit left her feeling doubtful. He seemed concerned, but she didn’t know if she could trust him. For all she knew, he could just as easily have been one of Ethan’s pawns, sent to find out if she was up to anything. Hannah quickly shook off the unease. She couldn’t allow herself to let her guard down now. She had kept Lily a secret all this time and could not afford to reveal her secret now. The party was just hours away, and she had to focus on making sure she was ready, so as not to incur Ethan’s wrath. This was an importan

Let's Go Shopping

Author’s POV The door clicked shut behind Reginald and Hannah found herself alone once again. She stared at her phone, the cryptic message still on the screen, and then heaved a sigh and tossed the phone away. Finding Lily was important, but the party was in a few hours and she needed to be prepared. With that, she searched through her box of clothes and threw on one of her cheap dresses. Staring at herself in the mirror, her lips curled into a sinister smile as she anticipated returning to Elsy’s store. Right at that moment, a soft knock pulled her back into reality. “Ms. Young, we’re living in ten minutes.” Clint’s voice called from outside the door. Hannah rolled her eyes at his commanding tone. Clint’s presence was already more suffocating than she could imagine. He was Ethan’s Chauffeur, but he acted more as his bodyguard and enforcer. After what happened at the Pier, she was certain that whatever she did around him would get back to Ethan, which only meant that she had

Elsy's Store

Author’s POV The car door swung open and Clint stood by, waiting for Hannah. Hannah stared at the building for some moments, and then her lips curled into a sinister smile. Turning toward Clint, her expression suddenly turned stern. The last thing she wanted was for him to blow her cover before she even had a chance to get her revenge on the store manager. “I know Ethan sent you to look over me, but I’m going to need you to do as I say now, or we can forget about all of this.” Hannah declared. Immediately, Clint’s gaze turned cold. He could tell that whatever Hannah was planning, she was up to no good. However, seeing the stern look on her face and knowing that time was running out, he heaved a defeated sigh and gave in, “What are you going to do?” Clint asked with concern. Hannah’s face tinged with excitement, and she just turned and walked toward the entrance of the boutique wordlessly. Entering the store, she walked humbly toward the luxury department, checking through d

A Different Hannah

Author’s POV“What's going on here?” The store manager, Victoria asked with a stern look.“Ma'am this customer came in here asking to browse around the luxurious section of the boutique. I asked her to leave, but she wouldn't, insisting that she wanted to see our most expensive clothes in the store.” Lydia replied, her voice wavering, unable to look at Victoria directly in the face.“I was just about to call security to throw her out,” she quickly added, hoping to exonerate herself, but Victoria just ignored her with a wave of her hand. Her eyes shifted slowly towards the woman across the floor and slowly widened in shock when she realized who it was.“You!” The words escaped her lips.Immediately, a smirk tugged at the corner of her lips, and her former furious gaze softened into a malicious look.“Ma'am, what do you want to do?” Lydia's voice echoed softly, noticing the familiar look between the two.“Don't worry about it,” Victoria said, walking confidently toward Hannah. “I'll ha
