Hanna…
Hanna is the girl with many names.
Hanna is the person Eric blamed for ruining his family.
Hanna is the person he hated the most.
Hanna is the person who he cursed.
Eric could feel his heart was being clenched so hard.
He just confessed his love to her and they almost make love if the call didn’t push through.
How could Hanna become that person?
A mistress?
A homewrecker?
A reason for some of the wives' suicides?
The reason for a happy family is ruined?
Eric could not hold a grip on his anger.
His shocked expression quickly turned into anger as he gnashed his teeth while his furious eyes bore into Hanna.
‘How dare you deceive me?’
Eric’s eyes were like killing Hanna already.
They were full of disgust and mockery.
On the other hand, Hanna felt guilty for deceiving Eric.
At first, she tried to forget about him but it was very hard for her.
Maybe because she already loved him.
She just wanted to live in the moment being with him.
Her heart was already connected to him.
When she failed to take him out of her system, she decided to continue as Hanna, the masked girl just to be with Eric.
With her mask, she could see him and touch him without any hatred on Eric’s part.
Though she already knew that this would happen, she just didn’t expect that it would be very soon.
Seeing Eric’s disgust at her, she felt her heart clench so hard.
The despise in his eyes made her weak but she had no regret in coming out.
When Eric dropped her off, she could sense Eric was in trouble.
She wanted to help him as she already loved him so much that she could give her life to Eric.
By chance, someone pick her up and brought her to the place.
“Hanna, why are you here, and why are you wearing a mask?” Aside from Eric, Sen. Meyer was also in great shock.
His voice brought everyone to the recent situation.
Hanna looked at the father she knew.
As expected, he didn’t change.
He was still a monster she used to know.
“You just said you will change. But you didn’t! Is this how you make money?” Hanna said despising her father as she frowned. “Is this how you plan to bring me up? You are going to feed me from the money that came from your hideous activities?” Hanna roared angrily.
Aside from Eric’s matter, she was also hurt by her father’s doings.
Though she already knew that this man could not be trusted, still she felt very disappointed seeing him doing his hideous activity in the actual. “I hate you!” Hanna roared despising her father so much with tears in her eyes.
“Hanna… Darling. Just not now… I will explain to you later, okay?” Sen. Meyer lifted his hand.
“Sis? Come let’s go!” Andrew came in tapping her shoulder.
Hanna’s shock had gone deeper when she saw his brother on the site.
The more she hated her father for taking her younger brother there like he was one of his hoodlums.
“Andrew! What are you doing here? Are you really insane?” When Andrew left here, she thought Andrew would be back realizing that the Senator was not really sincere in adopting him.
She was not mistaken but having thought of her brother becoming one of the Senator’s men and doing criminal works, these were just too absurd.
She was enraged seeing Andrew carrying a gun hooked beside his waist.
Hanna cursed her father right now in her mind.
The young Andrew was now a criminal when he was supposed in school and attending his classes with good decent friends.
Hanna felt very guilty as Andrew was her only family.
He was her responsibility.
“Sis, let’s talk later. Let’s go! This place is dangerous. You should not be here.” Andrew was already dragging her but Hanna was so stubborn.
She didn’t want to go.
Not without anyone especially, the weak woman inside the glass container who she believed that she was Arabella Jones.
“No!” Hanna roared snatching out her arm from her brother.
Then she grabbed the pistol hung on Andrew’s waist.
She pointed the gun at Sen. Meyer.
The Senator’s men quickly pointed their guns at Hanna.
The commotion was too intense inside the room.
It seemed anytime, one would fall to the ground or by any mistake someone would have to die to end the surging tension in the room.
“Stop!!! You idiots! That is my daughter!” Sen. Meyer roared angrily to his men who were still pointing their guns at Hanna.
The appearance of Hanna on the site was very unexpected for the Senator.
As much as possible, he couldn’t imagine it was happening right now and at the same time, he didn’t want to ruin his plan.
Everything was okay and ran smoothly according to his plan not until his daughter appeared out of nowhere.
Sen. Meyer was very pissed.
It seemed the situation was now not under his control.
Hanna pointed her gun at the men whose guns were also pointing at her.
It seemed she had no plan for any retreat the same as Sen. Meyer’s men.
“Sis! What are you doing? Put down your gun they were all gonna kill you! They are hoodlums for God’s sake!” Andrew tried his best to calm his sister on his side but Hanna had no trace of fear.
She was determined to help Eric and his friends even putting her life in danger.
“Shut up, Andrew! Run now or both of us will die! Go!” She muttered talking to her brother but her eyes were with the men who were still pointing their guns at her.
They seemed not to hear the Senator's words earlier.
