•Chapter 25• I should die
"You want a divorce?" he mocked, mimicking my tone.
"Y-yes..."
"Are you forgetting about the baby clause, wife?" He asked, getting closer to me, and each time he took a step forward I took a step back until my back hit the wall.
"Karen is pregnant, you don't need me" I mumbled.
He nodded and took a sip straight out of the bottle. He frowned in a sarcastically comical way and then chuckled. "But the baby must come from a Clarke" he placed his finger on my chest, the bottle was still in his hand. "And a Harding," he placed the same finger on his chest. "Those were your father's words, remember?"
"But it doesn't matter now, she's pregnant," I reasoned with a shaky voice.
The atmosphere of the room was suffocating me. My back was glued to the wall as Sebastian stood before me. He was drunk and completely out of his senses. I just wanted to ask him for a divorce now that

•Sebastian POV• Small steps were all I could manage as I followed the guards. In my terrified mind, every breath of wind was as loud as a blood-curdling scream. I saw a couple of the guards standing in a circle. They looked my way and stepped aside immediately. My eyes fell on the figure laying on the floor. Several long strides brought me to her side. My mind stopped working the second I saw her crumpled onto the floor like she wasn't even alive. I suddenly felt light-headed and a bit disoriented. My mind began buzzing with the voices. I whipped a sweat from my brow, trying to block the memory of what happened between us last night. I made her like this... I was the reason she looked almost dead. This is what I wanted, isn't it? I wanted her to be miserable... I wanted her to lose the will to live just like she did to me but now watching her like this made me even more miserable. This should make me satisfied! I should be delighted watching her l
Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 28• The Past
•Movie Nights• They were at Sebastian's penthouse, watching a movie. Sebastian's arms were wrapped around her shoulders tightly. She felt protected and loved in his embrace. She was sitting between his legs while her upper body was resting on his chest. She was stroking his arms affectionately. Sebastian pulled a blanket over them to keep her warm and comfortable. Box of a half-eaten pizza, open bags of chips, drinks, and pints of chocolate ice cream was scattered before them on the coffee table. This was their favorite way of spending time with one another. Every Saturday night, Sebastian would pick her up and they would spend the night at his penthouse. Where they were alone, no friends, no family, no drama, just Sebastian and Hannah. Sebastian would occasionally kiss her hair or the side of her head or her cheek. He'd tease her or make her laugh by making crazy, stupid noises. He'd laugh and make fun when people died in movies but
Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 29• A Broken Woman
He woke up from his deep slumber and found no one beside him. He didn't remember when was the last time he has had a good night's sleep. He did his daily routine and got ready for the day. He went downstairs and the first thing he did was to look for her. She was sitting in the living room dressed up in a professional outfit, her hair tied up. He furrowed his eyebrows confused out of his mind. Her aimless gaze landed on him and she immediately stood up. "How are you?" He asked "I'm okay..." She answered not meeting his eyes. "Did you have breakfast?" He asked. She shook her head in negative. "No..." "Come on," he said to her and she walked behind him with her head down. Karen was already sitting at the breakfast table when Sebastian walked in with Hannah behind him. Karen eyed both of them, Sebastian didn't come to his bedroom last night and it made her think that Hannah was be
Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 30• A Dutiful Wife
The door to Sebastian's office burst open frightening both of them. George Harding stood there like a deer caught in the headlights. The scene in front of him made his cheeks red with embarrassment. Sebastian's hair disheveled, his coat resting on the back of his seat, the first four buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned. While Hannah's shirt was wrinkled and she was trying to pull her pencil skirt down that hiked up when she straddled him. George turned to go back out but he nervously walked into his office again. He shook his head and went back outside but nervously walked inside again. He was confused and ashamed for barging into his son's office like that when he was having a private moment with his wife. "I need to fire Eric" Sebastian made a mental note. "Dad?" He was the first to break the awkward silence. "I'll come back later," George said. "Hello, Hannah, good to see you" he smiled "Mr. Harding, i
Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 31• A Little Trip
The next morning, Hannah woke up and did her daily routine. She dressed up professionally, tied her hair. She heaved a sigh and stared at herself in the mirror. Sebastian's apology from last night played in her mind over and over again. She dreamed of him saying those words to her. She wished that he'd call her Anna one more time. She yearned for his warm hugs and his sweet words and last night when he finally did all those things... She couldn't feel anything. And the thought scared her. What if she is never able to love again. She closed her eyes and reminisced about their past love life. She then remembered how he protected her when no one else did. How he always knew what she needed just by reading the look on her face. How he always knew how to cheer her up. How his presence gave her strength to endure the abuse she received. Tears poured down her face but she smiled... She smiled because she felt it... She felt her heart glowing once a
Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 32• His Apology
Sebastian looked around her office. He could clearly see that she decorated it by herself. Everything in her office was just so her... He smiled to himself. He saw pictures hanging on the wall. He walked closer and it was her mother's pictures, she indeed was her spitting image. Then there were some family pictures. Then it was her pictures with her friends and her life at NYU, some pictures of her convocation and lastly, it was him and her. His smile immediately fell and got replaced with a frown. The pictures of their young love. His mouth opened, his body didn't move, his heart pounded against his ribs as if trying to fulfill a thousand beats, his pupils dilated. Hannah had his pictures in her office. Their pictures from their first date, to high school graduation, prom, their first anniversary, when they went to the beach, everything was there. "Seb..." she whispered. "Why do you have our pictures in your offi
Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 33• Getting Better
They were back home after their little trip to New York City. Hannah finally felt relieved, the constant fear she had in her mind before wasn't there anymore. Sebastian had been nothing but cooperative to everything she wanted. Her bedroom didn't feel like a prison anymore. She knew she owe Sebastian an apology too and maybe finally tell him everything but she was afraid of his reaction. He was an impatient, impulsive, and hot-headed man. She was worried about how he may react after knowing everything. Someone knocked on the door while she was doing her hair. "Come in," she said concentrating on her hairstyle. It was difficult to tie her long, volumized hair in a bun. "Hey," Sebastian said standing behind her in the mirror. Her eyes connected with his in the mirror and a small cute smile graced her lips. "Good morning!" she said rather cheerfully as she finally put in the last bobby pin. "Mor
