Chapter 41 Premeditated
Melanie realized that Hanson was helping Vania to get even. He only cared about Vania, and he had no concern for her at all.
She could only pin her hope on their children. “Hanson, I’m begging you. Please don’t take the children away from me. Morales and Morgan are my life, and they’re both still so young. How can you separate us? I was just too jealous of Vania. She doesn’t need to do anything for you to pay all your attention to her, whereas I’m the one who’s been by your side this whole time without even so much of a glance from you.
I couldn’t take it, and I just wanted to find some people to scare her off. I didn’t plan on doing anything else. Why are you making it out to be such a horrifying thing? I was wrong about this, I really get it now. I’ll follow you tomorrow. I’ll apologize to her and beg for her forgiveness, but please, please reconsider your decision. Please don’t take the children away from me.”
“Now you’re thinking about what’s best for the children? What were you thinking about when you did those things? This is not the first time.” Hanson could not stand being in her presence any longer, so he immediately walked off.
Melanie fell to the ground like a deflated balloon. “Arghhh…” She screamed as if she was trying to vent all the pent-up emotions inside her. She crumpled into a heap on the ground with hollow eyes as her tears seemed to have finally dried up.
After a while, she muttered to herself, “Vania, I’ll never let you get away with this.” Her hollow eyes began to fill with hatred.
She got her phone and dialed a familiar number. “Find out what Hanson did in Eastland,” she barked her command and quickly ended the call. Then, she looked up a number in a protected document and anxiously made another call.
The phone began to ring, and as her heartbeat continued to grow louder with every ring, it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. Finally, the call connected after ten seconds, but to Melanie, it felt like a lifetime.
The moment the call connected, Melanie began to lash out in a hushed voice, saying, “What on earth is going on? I thought everything went according to plan? How did Hanson find out about it? Did Vania make her way back to Hammond without even so much as a scratch?”
