~Hannah~

I am completely crushed watching Olivia show care to Nathan.

Nathan goes to his knees. “Uncle is strong, you know that right? This? It's a scratch and doesn't hurt one bit.”

Sobs threaten to spill from my mouth. I run out, hot tears brimming in my eyes.

****FLASHBACK********

“What's wrong? You have looked down since the other day?” Nathan stooped beside me in front of my bedroom door. I was seated on a low wooden stool. Mentally and emotionally exhausted.

Few days ago, I'd been so e

  • Twisted Ties: The Brother's Claim    He's dead.

    Hannah's POV A knock on the door causes me to stop what I'm doing. “Lady Hannah, there's someone outside the gate here to find you,” the voice of a maid says from outside the door. I look up. From the mirror I’m using to check the scars on my side face. I haven't worn makeup for a while, I've been using my long hair to cover it. “Who's that asking to see me?” I ask. “She refuses to say her name. But she says I should give you this and you must come now and alone.”I take a breath. “Enter.”The maid enters and hands me a handwritten note.“Nathan.”The note says. “You are sure this person is not a man?” I ask the maid. “She's very much a woman,” the maid confirms. Who can possibly send this kind of note to me?“Bren…da?”I jump to my feet. Without another thought, I grab a shawl, pour my hair down my shoulders and walk briskly to the gate.Outside, a woman in a long blue gown stands backing the gate. A shawl covers her hair down to her neck. Slowly, I walk towards her.I am

  • Twisted Ties: The Brother's Claim    You can't have it all

    Nathan's POV I'm about to go over and say things to Hannah when the door suddenly bursts open. My words are stopped. My feet halts.Maybe this is the universe saving me from my own weakness, I think to myself. Brenda comes into view just then. “You are awake,” I say happily. But she ignores me and marches straight to Hannah. “Leave. I want to talk privately to my mate,” she says to Hannah. Her tone is not nice.“Brenda…” I call softly. Brenda flashes me a displeased look. “Nathan, let me handle this if you can at least accord me some respect as your mate. Although you refuse to accept me.”“None of what happened is Hannah's fault… Please…” I say. She chuckles. “Believe me Nathan, everything that happens here is her fault.”“It's alright. I'll leave,” Hannah interjects with a smile. “Good to have you back,” she mutters to Brenda just before she turns and heads out. I sigh, bothered as the door creak shut after her. I know Hannah. She overthinks things. Right now, I hope she

  • Twisted Ties: The Brother's Claim    Did she cry?

    Nathan's POVImmediately Hannah blurts out about Brenda, I storm home. I march to the guest study where I know Liam will be at, but at the door, I halt. My legs stick to the ground. I can't bring myself to go in. “Hannah…” My jaw locks hard. I can’t implicate her… I can't…I know that the moment I storm inside there, I'd be offering her on a platter to Liam and my stepmother. Because definitely Cathylene and Liam will know who has told me of Brenda's whereabouts if I act rashly based on Hannah's blurts. Clenching, I force myself to turn around. The air is cold and annoyingly soothing as I march away. Back to my quarters and straight to the mini bar. As I grip the bottle of whisky, a snarl rumbles in my chest. My beast is prancing. I am furious. Furious that I can't storm into Cathylene's quarters right now and bring Brenda out. Angry at myself for being so fucking powerless. With Hannah and now with Brenda. “I'm sorry, Brenda…” I mutter, my jaw locking painfully hard. She d

  • Twisted Ties: The Brother's Claim    Numbered

    Hannah's POV I don't know how to feel… what to think… So Cathylene knew all these while? She knew all this while, yet she kept silent?“Haha,” a bitter laugh echo in my chest. Everyday, she must have watched me with nothing but spite and hatred. I should have known. When she started referring to Olivia as “your daughter.”When she never ever called Olivia her granddaughter. How did she manage to hold herself back when she knew all these while?What else did she know?“Did you think I wouldn't know?” Cathylene grits. Her voice drags me back to the moment.Her eyes are so fiery I feel my skin prick under. “I’m…”Nothing comes out of my mouth. Was it Liam that told her?“Liam didn't tell me,” she says, her voice low and calculating. As though she heard my mind.“In fact, you are only still here because of Liam. I have been waiting for him to come to me and tell me everything, but he hasn't. It's quite unfortunate he cares so much for someone like you.”Her eyes burn at me with d

  • Twisted Ties: The Brother's Claim    She knew

    Hannah's POV When my eyes slowly open, everything is blurry. But the smell of the place, and the way my body feels makes me realize I am in an unfamiliar place. I am lying on something that is not wet, yet cooling my skin. I blink, and an ocean comes into view. My eyes and mind slowly take in the water. It's blue and beautiful, stretching far into the distance my eyes can't reach. It makes a ripple as though someone has just launched a rock into it. Then stills again.Nina makes a low sound in my frame that makes me feel safe immediately. How did I get here—Before I can finish thinking, strange memories flood into my head in a rush. In it, Liam is on the floor. Grunting in pain.I clearly recall flipping him over. But now at the memory of it, the reality of what I've done hit me.“Oh shit,” bit my lip and groan under my breath. I can't believe I really did flip him over. Still, the memories don't stop coming.I recall sneaking out of the house after everyone had gathered

  • Twisted Ties: The Brother's Claim    Can't stop

    Nathan's POV I just returned from visiting all Brenda's favorite places in the Pack in search of her, when a loud, resounding roar echoed.I am at the foot of the stairs to go into the guest quarters. At the sound, I pause in my steps. I am still trying to figure out where the roar has come from when I started hearing thuds of many hurrying footsteps. All heading towards Hannah's quarters.My mind jumps. Has Liam lay his hands on Hannah again…Something grips hard in my chest. God, if Liam has touched her again, if he has so much as touched a hair on her skin again… I'll so fucking kill him.My blood boils, and before I can think, I turn and dash after them. I arrive in their quarters—Hannah and Liam's— but can't go in as the place is filled up. Almost everyone in the mansion is gathered here. What's going on?I push through the crowd. As I move, my ears pick up words from the maid servants. “This is unbelievable!”“I can't believe it either. Not in a thousand years!”All the

    ~Hannah~“Liam wants you home right now,” Sylvia utters boldly, her arms folded across her chest. With the way her eyes are twinkling sinisterly, I feel a faint grip around my chest. “Why?” I ask. Because I know. For an evịl bị́xch like her to come all the way to the company to bring me back home

  • Twisted Ties: The Brother's Claim    Not giving up

    ~Hannah~Liam grabs my waist. I've just returned from sending Olivia off to school. His eyes are bloodshot and almost closing up. He has a drunk grin on. He leans into my neck and smells me. “Fvck, I–love this,” he slurs as he guides my waist into a slow rhythm dance. He's completely intoxicated.

    ~Hannah~“Mate!”As Brenda falls into Nathan's arms, every bit of life in me collapses. I run inside, my legs heavy yet propelling me forward. My chest wants to explode from pain. I've always known things never work out for me. Why do I always forget and get excited for nothing?As I corner toward
