Hannah's POV:

The night air was thick with tension as the echoes of laughter and clinking glasses faded into the distance. After the banquet concluded and we returned to the main house, the house felt eerily quiet, as if it had absorbed the arguments and whispers swirling within its walls. We all gathered in the living room first, a stiff expression etched on their faces. I could practically feel the atmosphere crackling with unspoken words, the aftermath of heated exchanges still so vivid that it danced around us like a ghost.

As we settled back into the familiar chaos of home and were about dispersing to our various rooms, my father was the first to pierce the silence. His voice boomed, slicing through the air like a knife. “What was that you all did in there?” His booming words reverberated through the hall, his usual frown heighted by the tension from earlier. He looked furious, a storm brewing behind his eyes.

Maria, always the eager one to exempt herself with Dad, jumped in.

  • After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I became His Boss   Chapter 77

    Hannah's POV: I got into a taxi and told him the location Alina sent to my phone. It was a dive in-bar. Not particularly the best place for abduction and hostage. I already looked up the address online, and that was why I involved Maria.It made sense that Alina wouldn't send me the exact address of where he was keeping Stiles. The address he gave me was a viewing station, where he can see if I came alone or brought unwanted guests.I knew this, and that was why I was sharing my location with Maria and had a mini camera hidden in my hairpin. She was seeing everything that I was seeing, and the video was being saved as evidence against him. We needed to first ensure Stiles' safety and then get Alina's confession.The taxi came to a halt, and I highlighted the vehicle. I stood in front of the bar waiting for some sort of signal or anything.Then my phone buzzed with a message; I read it. ‘Move three buildings forward and enter the opposite building.’I obeyed.The opposite building was

    Hannah's POV:Maria's eyes are wide, and her hands are shaky. I've never seen her like this before; she looked…scared.“What do you mean?” I replied, totally confused.“Where is Stiles?” She repeated, and this time I definitely heard her loud and clear. I think the whole hall did. The music had stopped.My head tilted to the sides in further confusion. The last I saw of Stiles was when I slammed my room door at him as he forced me to tell Maria that what she saw was a mistake that I caused. Typical Stiles. I haven't seen him since then, not that I was actively looking out for him though.“I didn't know it was my job to keep track of where your fiancé is.” I replied curtly, turning my attention back to the stage. People in the hall were now watching us.Great!Maria slammed something on the table in front of me. I looked down to see it was a note. If I can't have Hannah, no one can. Not you, not anybody else.’ The note read.My heart missed a beat. What was this?“I found it in our roo

    Hannah's POV:The audacity was mind-blowing. He pinned me down in the elevator against my will and tried to kiss me but still had the guts to ask me to explain the situation to his fiancee.This must be some sort of stupid joke.“You want me to explain what exactly?” I questioned, trying to understand what made him think this was a good idea.“Just explain to her that she saw wrong.” He read out with ease, like that was the truth.“She saw wrong? So you didn't try to kiss me against my will?” I retorted.He rolled his eyes like I was being dramatic. “Oh please, you wanted that kiss too. You didn't move.”“Yes, because you held me down!!” My words came out louder than intended.Is this man delusional or just purely crazy?I took a small breath to relax myself.Stiles was the last person I ever wanted to get me worked up. He was scum and wasn't worth it.“You caused the problem yourself, so deal with it.” I pushed him backwards, and his foot blocking the door retreated as he struggled t

    Hannah's POV“I really didn't think you would take it this far,” Lenora said when she stopped clapping. “But I'm impressed that you're willing to ruin your own brother's happiness just for your satisfaction.”I surged up, not with anger but with disgust. Fully repulsed that Lenora would try to use the issues with my brother against me. Especially when she knew what that felt like now.“What are you talking about?” I questioned.Her eyes dropped, a sad girl persona dawning on her features in an instant. "Don't act like you haven't been telling me Michael is no good for me. That he gets too emotionally dependent on people and drags them down.”I flinch at the sheer lie.Lenora knew exactly what to say that would hit. I knew what she said was a lie. She herself knew it too. But that didn't matter; the only thing that counted was that Michael believed her.Micheal ran to stand by her side; he cast me a hurtful glare, like I had betrayed something growing all over again.Lenora cut deeper.

    Hannah's POV:Stiles inched closer, his lips stretched out like a chicken anus. I reclined back and turned my head just in time for the elevator door to ding open on the first floor. The doors slide open to reveal Maria standing on the other end.Maria's eyes widened. Stiles froze.I used that chance to cut loose and walked out. I went the other way to the elevator at the opposite end and took it down to the basement floor. I walked some distance before I saw the door leading to the pool area.Immediately I got in, I was hit with the light smell of chlorine whiffing through the air, and the hums from the water pumps created a very tranquil atmosphere. The pool was empty, save for someone sitting on one of the in-pool loungers. On closer look I recognized the person—Micheal.We haven't spoken after him and Lenora. It wasn't like we spoke before, but now, because of what happened that day with Lenora, it has caused an even bigger rift between us. I knew Lenora was playing a game here, a

    Hannah's POV:Entering my room, I decided to give the whole place one last search. I uprooted the bedcovers, turned over the flower vases, and checked under the rug, but I still wasn't finding anything.I was midway between checking under the drawers when I heard a knocking sound on the door. I walked to the door and opened it to see Alina.“Hey, sleep well?” He gave a cheeky smile.I didn't return the smile.“Thank you for yesterday, but you really didn’t have to come check up on me.” I said, walking back into the room. I went back to checking under the drawer.“I know, but still I wanted to check up on you; it seemed like you were dealing with a lot yesterday, and I was hoping our little adventure helped.” He strode over to where I was crouched.I didn't turn to look at him; I was still busy stretching my hand under the drawer, clawing for…something I wasn't even sure of yet.“Sooo…,” he tapped his feet, “do you feel better?”I sighed, a bit annoyed now. I was grateful for yesterday
