Alden sat in his study, thinking about Hannah's words a few days ago. Hannah had seemed emotional when she mentioned the subject of death, which made Alden suspicious. What exactly was on Hannah's mind?

Although Hannah had calmed down considerably, Alden could still see a sadness in her eyes that she didn't express outwardly. It worried Alden; he knew he had to find out what had deeply hurt Hannah.

A knock on the study door interrupted his thoughts, and Edward entered, nodding respectfully to Alden.

"Sir, I've brought the information you requested," Edward said with a smile, "for your vacation with Mrs. Hannah."

Edward placed the printouts of the fantastic places Alden had requested as vacation references. Alden had planned to take Hannah on a trip, even though he knew she would probably refuse.

"Edward, have you noticed anything unusual about Hannah's behavior lately?" Alden asked suddenly.

"I beg your pardon, sir?"

    "Jeffrey?" Hannah gasped in disbelief."Don't you dare pretend you've never messed around with him!""What are you talking about?"Alden let out a bitter laugh as he heard Hannah trying to deny it. But his mind was already clouded with rage, consumed by jealousy because of his deep love for her. Alden had lost his common sense, entirely swayed by Aspen's words from that morning."You're still not going to admit your relationship with Jeffrey?" Alden hissed."Alden, can we please talk this out calmly?" Hannah began to feel Alden's grip tightening. "It hurts.""I want to know what he did that you can't seem to let go of him!"Alden suddenly climbed on top of Hannah, pinning her legs down. With rough force, he pressed his lips against hers, leaving Hannah struggling to breathe. When she was nearly out of breath, Alden finally broke the kiss."Please, listen to me!" Hannah begged, tears streaming down her face.Alden yanked

  • Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair   81. Sarah's Dangerous Game

    Sarah stared intently at Alden, feeling a deep sadness at seeing the man she loved looking so lost. They had sat across from each other in a cafe for over fifteen minutes, but Alden remained silent. He sipped his coffee and then drifted into his thoughts, staring out the window."Alden, what were you thinking about?" Sarah asked, breaking the silence between them."I'm not sure it's wise to talk about it with you." Alden looked at Sarah. "You have enough on your plate as it is.""Whatever I can do for you, I'll never feel burdened."Alden lowered his head slightly and let out a weary sigh that only made Sarah more anxious."Don't you trust me? Can't you at least share a little?" Sarah pressed."It's about Hannah."Sarah's mind immediately flashed back to the incident at the hospital when she had switched her urine sample with Hannah's. Could Hannah have received some devastating news? And did Alden know? Sarah wondered silently.

    Hannah returned home feeling tired, even ignoring Edward's greeting. The butler immediately noticed Hannah's unusual behavior, but he didn't dare say a word.Once in her room, Hannah lay down and began to sob. She let all her emotions out, and after she calmed down, she took a shower. She skipped dinner and instead sat on her bed, staring blankly while holding her phone.She didn't want to search for articles about deadly diseases. Her mind was already too overwhelmed with worry.A message appeared on Hannah's phone. When she read it, it was from Susan, but Hannah didn't feel like answering.

How did it go?""I'm still waiting for the lab results.""Do you want me to come over and keep you company? Who are you with?"Hannah swallowed. "I'm alone.""Isn't Mr. Alden with you?"Hannah didn't want Alden to know she was at the hospital getting checked out. She wanted it to be a surprise if she was indeed pregnant."I'll keep it a secret for now," Hannah said. "Can you promise not to tell Alden?""Of course. I called you yesterday because Aspen asked if you were going to the hospital," Francesca babbled. "But she got furious after I called you.""Aspen?"How strange, Hannah thought. Why would Aspen be so worried?"Maybe Aspen heard about it from Jeffrey. Did you mention it to Jeffrey?" Francesca asked.
