"I don't believe such a lie." Aunt Mary quickly said. How could Hannah have such a disease? Even if she doesn't really fancy Hannah like before, she wouldn't wish her death.
"It's reality. " Hannah said calmly and in a low tone.
Mrs Griffin parted her lips to talk when Charles walked in with an intimidating manner.
"Time's up. Lets go. " He said coldly and emotionless.
Mrs Griffin swallowed the words she wanted to say before standing up.
" I trust Logan will take good care of you and wouldn't let you die. " She said calmly before walking away to meet Charles.
Mr Griffin pulled Hannah into his warm embrace.
He pulled away and ruffled her hair softly.
"I have nothing to say as I'm still in denial with you dealing with stage two Glioblastoma. But I will give you one advise and that is to be happy and do things that makes you happy. " He said before leaving too.
Hannah remained standing there without saying goodbye. She felt as though a part of her had been torn into pieces. She closed her eyes trying to prevent the tears from rolling down but it eventually did.
She opened her eyes letting her tears flowing freely.
"I'm sorry Aunt and uncle. " She murmured weakly before picking up the shopping bag and went upstairs using the elevator.
It was late in the night when Scarlett and Brielle came back from their spa day.
Brielle walked inside the huge mansion, ready to go to her room when Aunt Tessa suddenly called out to her.
"Brielle dear!" She called out standing up to welcome her.
Brielle and aunt Tessa embraced each other with Brielle smiling. After hugging, they pulled away.
"Someone is coming the day after tomorrow before Logan's introduction party. " Aunt Tessa said with a serious tone.
"Who is that?" Brielle couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Gregor!" Her Aunt said firmly.
Brielle nodded with her eyes twinkling like stars. It was as if that single sentence made her feel a certain way she couldn't describe. Gregor, the rumored man she had heard about."aunt can I make investigations about him?" She asked happily.
Tessa eyes widened in disbelief as she quickly shook her head.
"No, he doesn't like when people try to dig out about him. Just do your part and see if you can seduce him on the night of your brother's introduction party. " Tessa quickly said with a worried smile.
Brielle just nodded and didn't take the quick rejection to heart.
"Alright Aunt, I'm heading to my room to rest for the night. I have some Where to be tomorrow. " Brielle said calmly and Tessa nodded as she left the lounge.
Unknown to them, upstairs, Caroline was staring at them from above. It was so strange to see those two people talk codedly. It wasn't her intention to eaves drop on thier conversations but for some unknown reason, she saw her self paying attention to them. Even though she couldn't hear what they were saying, but she was reading their lips until she caught a word, ''Gregor" who is Gregor? She thought with a frown. She'd have to ask Charles or Logan about that man. With that thought, she went back to her room. She pushed the door of her room opened and went inside. She closed the door behind her before taking off her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
In Logan's mansion,
Hannah was laying on the bed applying sun screen on her face while Logan was seated nonchalantly on the plush couch busy with his laptop. The two of them didn't say a word as each of them are solely focused on what they were doing.
The silence was dragging on until Logan asked with an ice tone,
"What type of wedding do you want to do?"
Hannah who had been focused on her face slowly paused upon hearing the question he asked her.
She dropped the cream on the bed, and swing her legs down to the ground before sitting at the edge of the bed to face him.
"I don't know. " She replied honestly.
Logan's intense gaze suddenly fell on her. He had an unreadable expression as he kept staring at her.
Hannah pursed her lips hard as she could feel his burning gaze on her. It was as if he was trying see through her. She gulped hard as her heart raced wildly in her chest.
There was a strong silence between them, a pin drop could be heard.
After a long and uncomfortable silence,
He parted his lips to talk,
"It was a mistake asking what type of wedding you want. But since you don't know, forget it. I will give you till after the introduction party to decide and if you don't give me an answer by then. You will be punished. '' he said indifferently rendering Hannah utterly speechless.
After a stale ment of silence, Hannah slowly nodded.
"Tomorrow, Beckette will come and take your measurements for your dress. " He said closing his laptop.
Alright. Hannah SA d calmly before laying on the bed to sleep. She covered herself with the duvet as she closed her eyes to sleep.
Logan stared intently at the woman who is now is wife even though they are not legally married. But for some reason he couldn't understand, his mind keeps drawing him towards her. His eyes lingered on her for an hour until he finally stood up. He took his laptop and left the room. The moment he left the room,
He went straight to the fifth floor and went to his study room. On entering inside,
His phone buzzed and he immediately picked the call putting his phone on speaker.
"What's with this call? " Logan asked nonchalantly and indifferently as he placed his laptop on the desk.
Charles chuckled loudly.
"Well, I have some good news for you." He said with a serious tone.
What's that? Logan asked calmly. He knew the moment Charles called, something was definitely up.
"Gregor is coming to Sutherland city a night before your introduction party. " He said casually while Logan expression changed drastically.
