Author’s POVHannah’s eyes narrowed, and for a moment, something darker flashed across her face. She remained quiet for a while, almost as if contemplating her next words carefully.“Well, what is it? It sure must be important if you are willing to risk annoying Ethan for it.” Clint asked curiously.A small smile stretched Hannah’s lips, she shook her head softly, deciding that she still couldn’t trust Clint or anyone connected to Ethan with her secret.“This isn’t just about Victoria,” she said quietly. “It’s about getting my dignity back from everyone who stole it from me. Every opportunity I lost because they took one look at me and decided that I wasn’t worth it, I wasn’t qualified.” Hannah lied, yet her fists still clenched in anger. This wasn’t the main reason she was doing it. It was to find Lily, but still, recounting every moment of her life when she was denied an opportunity just because she wasn’t wealthy or had a good status made her anger grow.Clint blinked, confused. He

Author’s POV“So how are the party plans coming along? Anything I need to know before it starts?” Hannah asked, quickly changing the subject.Ethan’s expression softened as he heaved a sigh and started, “The party’s all set,” he said, tapping a guest list, and then his eyes narrowed into a stern gaze.“I need you to be prepared, Hannah. There will be people from my world – business associates, family, important people. Not the kind of people you should mess with. They’ll all be watching us very closely tonight, and if there’s any sign of slip up, someone might notice. So we’ll have to be very careful tonight.” He warned, looking at her intently.He paused, seeing the anxious look on Hannah’s face. Ethan knew just how much pressure this was on her. For someone who hadn’t ever been to any party with the elites, attending one where she would be the center of attention could be overwhelming.He strode toward her, stopping just inches in front of her. “This engagement…it’s as much a partne

Author’s POVThe Ford Mansion lit up in cherry festivities that evening. Hannah sat quietly in front of her dressing mirror, lost in thoughts. The party had already started downstairs in the grand decorated hall of the mansion, and still, she did not know what the occasion was.But one thing she was sure of was that tonight was more than a celebration; it was a stage, and everyone would be watching, especially Ethan.In the midst of everything happening, her mind still lingered on Ethan’s call, trying to figure out who was on the other end of the line.The soft knock on her door suddenly snapped her out of her thoughts, “Who is it?” Hannah asked anxiously, thinking that it could be Ethan.“It’s Reginald, Mrs. Ford.” The man answered softly.“Come in,” Hannah replied and turned to face the door.The door slowly opened and Reginald walked into the room, wearing a neat black tux.As soon as he saw her, he froze in place,“You look quite lovely Mrs. Ford. I’m sure everyone downstairs wi

Author’s POVAfter his announcement, Ethan slowly stepped down from the stage, approaching her with slow measured steps, and held her hand endearingly.Everyone in the hall was shocked to see Ethan behaving so caring to her. He was a cold and brute man who was hardly seen with a woman since after his last disastrous engagement party, and now he was suddenly married?Some immediately assumed that their marriage was unreal, but they started to have doubts seeing how Ethan was staring so lovingly at Hannah.He leaned in and whispered in a rather flirtatious, “You look beautiful.”Hannah was so smitten by his words. She could not help but admire how hot he looked right now, and a naughty thought suddenly crossed her mind, for the first time in a long while, a naughty thought suddenly flashed through her mind.She immediately snapped out of the trance Ethan had put her in, and mentally scolded herself for having such a perverted thought.“Why didn’t you tell me?” She asked, maintaining a p

Author’s POVAs Ethan walked away, Hannah was still conflicted, wondering what to do about the mysterious man’s invitation.A shiver of frustration and anxiety ran down her spine as she scanned the hall, looking for where the man could have gone.However, Hannah quickly noticed a group of girls approaching her and from the looks on their faces, she could tell that they meant trouble.“So you’re Ethan’s latest project,” a girl in a sequin green dress mocked as they approached Hannah.“Look at her, she has no idea what she is in for. Take it from us, darling, today is going to be the last time you’re really happy.” Another girl chimed in, and they broke out laughing.Hannah opened her mouth to speak, but just as quickly stopped. She did not know who these girls were but she decided that they were not worth her time.“Yeah, Ethan’s going to have his fun with this one, don’t you think so Emily?” The third girl, Melinda said, staring at Hannah directly.She seemed like the leader of the gr
