Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 94

At night, Han returned to his quiet mansion. After a quick shower, he sat down to study the file containing information Ben had gathered about Sarah and Sasha White.

He read the document carefully. He frowned as he flipped through the pages. He was so confused he had to put down the file.

The file suggested he had misunderstood Leah for the past ten years. Since Sasha had swapped her identity with Leah, Sasha should be blamed for Randall’s death, not Leah.

His stomach turned as he thought about how terrified Leah looked when she saw him earlier today. A wave of guilt swept over him.

She saved him from a fire, and instead of thanking her, he almost killed her. Frustrated, he crumpled up the documents before ripping them into pieces.

No, I did nothing wrong. Leah had led him on, even though she knew the truth all along. Perhaps he should ask Leah privately about this.

Despite the minor hiccups at their engagement party, Leah and Ian were considered engaged, and everyone was excited about their union.

“Where do you plan to go for your honeymoon? When would you like to go?” Jane asked as she held Leah’s and Ian’s hands. All three of them were sitting down in the living room.

Leah participated in the conversation half-heartedly. She was secretly relieved when Ian stood up to excuse himself. “Sarah, Mrs. White, I’m sorry, but I have to leave now to attend to some work in the office.”

“Of course, don’t worry about me,” said Jane with a smile. She turned to Leah, “Why don’t you see him off, Sarah?”

Leah nodded and she walked with Ian toward the main door. They remained silent until they were at the main door. Ian beamed at Leah, “Could you give me a hug before I go?”

She was startled. Then, she realized he only wanted to be close to her. She took a step forward to hug him. Seconds later, she was about to let go of him, but he held on to her.

“Not now, please,” Ian said softly. She let him hug her for about a minute before he finally loosened his embrace. He caressed her hair, “Would you wait for me to return?”

“Of course,” she replied. Satisfied, Ian turned to walk toward his car. She stood by the main door until his car was out of her sight.

Someone grabbed her wrists as she turned around. Before she could react, she was forcibly pushed against the stone walls outside the mansion. She moaned as pain shot up her back.

She glanced up to find Han pressing her against the walls, furious. Her blood turned cold. She struggled to get away from him. “What are you doing, Han? Let go of me!”

Han did not know what had gotten into him. He was baffled by the anger boiling inside him when he saw Leah and Ian hugged. From the way she looked at Ian, Han could not help but feel betrayed.

“You wouldn’t let me touch you, but you would gladly let Ian,” Han said as he lifted her head so she was forced to look at him. “You love to fool around with other men, don’t you?”

Leah’s heart sank. She tolerated him in the past because she loved him and she thought she was responsible for Randall’s death. Now she had no reason to hold back.

“Han, you’ve crossed the line!” She glared at him, speaking through gritted teeth. “We are done! Since you already know what happened between Sasha and me, you have no right to be mad at me.”

She was no longer his obedient wife. Han was stunned for a moment before collecting himself. He sneered, “We are not done until I say we are. We are still legally married, remember?”

To his dismay, she laughed, “Yes, Leah was your wife, but she is also dead. I am Sarah White, and we are not married.”

“Fuck you!” Han could not deny what she said. Leah lifted a triumphant smile and she continued, “Besides, I believe you are engaged with Miss Lamere, so we should be over by now.”

Han stared at her, trying to read her emotions. He let go of her and he snickered. “Did you do this to get back at me?” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“What did you mean?” She was perplexed.

“You got engaged with Ian to get back at me for getting engaged with Molly, right?” He sounded so sure of himself. Leah was at a loss for words for a moment, baffled by his assumptions.

“I don’t care what you think,” she looked at him determinedly, “I only want you to be out of my life, Mr. Howard. If you want to make things right again with me, all I ask is for you to get out of my life and I’ll be grateful.”

Han’s face fell. He said with a menacing tone, “Being stubborn does you no good.”

“I am not being stubborn.”

“You said you wanted to be my lover.”

“Things have changed. Now I want nothing to do with you. Would you please leave me alone?”

Han was taken aback. He curled his lip, “You don’t always get what you want.”

“What do you want with me?” Leah asked with an alarmed face.

“You tricked me into marrying you. You ruined my life. Did you think you could get away so easily?” He lifted a cruel smile. “However, I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to.”

Leah was concerned. “You’ll see. You will be begging me,” said Han before turning to leave.

Knowing Han as a man of his word, Leah was a bundle of nerves for the next three days. She was expecting to see Han again, but it was Mrs. Sanders who visited.

Mrs. Sanders was sobbing when she entered the house. Before Leah could ask, Mrs. Sanders kneeled before Leah abruptly. She pleaded, “Sarah, please save my Ian!”
