Once the Griffins were done packing, the couple left the house while Aunt Mary locked the door to avoid been suspicious Incase someone from the billionaire's family comes looking for them or paying them a visit which she doubt will happen. After locking the door, the old couple walked away as they passed the muddy rocky roads before reaching the main road, on reaching the main road, they boarded a cab.
They entered the cab with Aunt Mary not turning to look back. She will have to forget about the existence of Hannah. She thought as she directed the driver to their destination.
Meanwhile,
In the Emerson mansion, the Emerson ls family were having breakfast.
"Good morning mum, and dad"! Caroline greeted with a bright smile as she made her way to go sit beside her favorite grandma.
Morning sweetheart. How was your night? Her mother asked with a sweet smile.
It was great thanks mum. Caroline said softly.
You didn't sleep. Brielle pointed out.
Caroline rolled her eyes at her sister's foolish comment.
Yeah I didn't sleep, I was busy crawling ok your room like a ghost. Carie said sarcastically, making Brielle rolled her eyes.
Let's eat. Logan should be on his way. Grandpa Emerson said calmly. There was a sudden tension and deep silence that a pin drop could be heard.
Aunt Tessa rolled her eyes as she knew what that meant. Either Logan brings that low dirty class poor brat with him or not. She mused as she stabbed her meat with her fork before putting her inside her mouth.
"That's good, we need to start preparing for the wedding. " Mrs Emerson finally said clearing the thick and uncomfortable silence.
"Hopefully, she doesn't bring bad luck to this family". Grandma Emerson said hatefully.
Grandma! Don't be mean. Carie said irritrd by what was going on on the table.
"I'm not mean sweetheart, I'm just stating facts. " Grandma Emerson said calmly.
"Alright then, that's enough, let's eat before the food gets cold". Mr Emerson said calmly distracting everyone from talking about his soon to be daughter -in -law. With that said, everyone focused on their meal.
Back in Logan's mansion,
Hannah was sitting on the bed,her sky blue eyes looking lost. Her mind suddenly travelled back to that time when she wasn't used as a contracted wife. Her life was as peaceful but now, she doubt so. Her life isn't as peaceful as before. It is filled nothing but endless pain l, hurt and tears. She stood up and walked towards the standing mirror, starring at her reflection. Her eyes looked fine, she looks perfectly fine but deep down, she was broken beyond repair.
While she was staring at herself in the mirror, she didn't realize Logan had entered the room only to see her staring at her herself, crying silently.
For some strange reasons, he couldn't wrap his finger on, he felt his heart constricted a little seeing her looking like a shadow of her self. It isn't even up to a week they have been together, but here he is, looking at her as though he was –– he shook his head and cleared his throat pulling her from her deep train of thoughts.
Hannah who was deeply lost in thought jolted out in fear the moment she saw him in the mirror starring at her.
She quickly cleaned her tears and took out her powder and applied it on her reddened face, once she was done, she turned to look at him.
"I'm ready to leave". She said quietly not a looking him in the eyes.
Logan just stared at her blankly without saying a word and walked out of the room. Once he was gone, she followed after him without saying a word too.
The two people could be seen seated in a Bentley while the Chaffeuer started the car and drove away. While the car was moving on slow motion, the car was filled with deafening silence that even the driver could feel it. It was as though the car was envopled with thick powerful silence that could slice a soul.
Hannah couldn't bear the thick uncomfortable silence anymore and suddenly broke the silence, " uhm, instead of going to my aunt's place, why don't we go and see them first?" She asked quietly fiddling with her fingers.
Logan stared at her calmly, hos expression unreadable.
"Why do you keep looking down?" He asked, his voice think with rawness.
Hannah slowly raised her face up ,her sky blue eyes slowly gazing at him.
That isn't the answer to the question. He said blankly.
I'm staring at you. I don't need to answer that. She said softly.
Logan didn't say anything and just clicked his finger and the Chaffeuer parked in the middle of the road.
" Get down ''! He ordered coldly not staring at her.
Hannah became utterly confused.
"What do you me––"
Logan got down from the car and went to the other side of the car and open the door for her.
"OUT!' He ordered heartlessly making Hannah's heart raced fearfully as she obeyed. She got down from the car confused. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, casting a golden hue in the horizon.
"Now, when I asked you a question, you don't talk back at me". He lowly said his voice laced with raw intense anger underneath.
Hannah gulped hard l, swallowing her saliva painfully. She knew without a doubt, Logan was about to give her another punishment for talking back at him. But was she seriously talking back at him? She wondered incredulously.
"I'm sorry if I said––"
Don't be. Since you feel so uncomfortable sitting in the same car with me, why don't you walk down to the Emerson mansion. He said blankly.
What? ! No way ! She screamed in her head as she couldn't see herself doing something as scandalous as that.
That's wild. I can't do it. She said softly as tears suddenly formed in her eyes.
Either you do it, or get ready to be punished. I don't have time for your tantrums. He said with an ice tone making Hannah jolted in fear.
