"I don't understand you your words".
Okay, let's cut to the chase woman. You very well know that ik Logan's fiancee. Scarlett said. But Hannah remained silent. She didn't dare refute that word.
"Last night, Logan and I had sex". Scarlett a ad bluntly and Hannah suddenly stiffened.
Her heart somersaulted in her chest as she tried to keep a passive face. But unfortunately, Scarlett could see through the turmoil she was trying so hard to disguise. She had a sinister gleam in her eyes as she watched how Hannah try so hard to absorb the blunt words she said.
"You don't have anything to say?" Scarlett raised an eyebrow.
But Hannah who was still trying to process the information she just heard truer to calm her heart. She didn't love Logan, but why did her heart did a Somersault on hearing Scarlet words; truly, Logan and Scarlett were in a relationship and loud and clear, logan had denied having sex with Scarlett in public on the day of their introduction party.
Why did she felt a dull sharp ache in her heart when she heard Scarlett words? She didn't love him and he didn't love her. He only married her for revenge and for the sake of his grandpa. Even his family doesn't care about her existence.
She tried to summon the courage to speak but words failed her at that moment. Her throat constricted so hard, she was finding it very difficult to talk.
But Scarlett was unmoved.
So she continued her conversation,
"Since we had sex last night, I went to his office...." She paused her words to let it sink deep into Hannah's brain. She knew what she was doing. Every word she said, had a comma to enjoy every bit of torture Hannah was fighting inwardly.
She knew women won't accept such. So she continued,
".....we made a deal and in those deal, I told him my conditions that first, he will announce to the world that I'm pregnant with his child if I am confirmed pregnant, second, we will spend one more night together, then third I will live under his mansion when I'm pregnant. And the last is for him to divorce you and marry me. " She eunuciated each word bluntly.
Once she was done, she waited for Hannah to speak.
"How do you feel?" Scarlett mocked coldly.
Hannah pursed her lips tightly. Every words she said did a strange tug at her heart.
She took in a slow deep breath before exhaling quietly.
After a few seconds of calming down, she finally found the painful courage to speak.
"I have heard everything you just said." Her voice sounded slightly pained which didn't escape Scarlet notice.
"Since you are Logan's fiancee, I have no right to interfere". Hannah said softly and wearily.
"That's good to hear. So one more thing before I leave, prepare your self mentally, I and Logan will be spending the night soon". She said sharply and the corner of her mouth curled into a sweet smile. She didn't dare mention he had rejected her deal.
Hannah just nodded.
She didn't have no words to say at that moment. Her brain was still trying to process everything she just heard.
"Alright then, CONTRACTED WIFE,see you some other time". Scarlett said sweetly emphasizing on the contracted wife part to mock Hannah.
Without waiting for Hannah's response, she walked past her in a elegant way out of the mansion. The moment she left,
Hannah felt the world around her spin, but she managed to hold her self from losing consciousness.
She doesn't love him, Logan had made it clear to her she is just a contracted wife that he paid for. He doesn't love her and she, has the contracted wife will have to behave and act as one. She already gave up on hope to find happiness or true love. If not for the bills of her family, and Elizabeth hospital bills, she won't have been sold or forced into a contract marriage that ended up binding her to a heartless monster. She took a sharp deep breath before calming her self. Once she sees that she is calm, she stood up and went to the elevator, pressed the button for the seventh floor to go back to her room.
As she entered her room, her eyes fell on the golden wall clock.
The time was just 5:35 pm.
She has been sleeping for hours without doing anything, nor did she have a phone to call or send text messages. She felt utterly lonely. And the only way to kill this loneliness was to sleep and forget about the fact Scarlett had come to rub on her wounds. The only thing she was grateful for was that, she doesn't love him and she will never love a man that still loves his fiancee and even went as far as making love to Scarlett. With that, thought she plumped her body on the bed and closed her eyes to sleep.

In the Emersons mansion,
Aunt Tessa was in her room having a serious conversation with her husband, uncle Anthony. They were talking about their daughter, Teresa who had been in abroad for a long time and when she will be back home.
"Don't worry dear, I will put a call to Teresa and asked when she will be coming back home". Anthony assured his wife. While Tessa just smiled.
"Once her daughter is back, she will feel more complete." She thought with a bright smile smeared on her face. After their conversation, Anthony left the room to go look for Mr Emerson. There are some things he needed to discuss with thr man. With that thought, he went straight to the study room.
Tessa was still seated on the bed when Brielle walked in with blank expression.
"What is it dear? Did you manage to get to his bed?" Tessa asked with a probing gaze. While Brielle had a sullen look on her face.
