Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 4

Shyanne hissed, “How can our plans be unaffected? Do you think that Leah will agree to leave now that her child is gone? If she stirs up trouble, Molly will know of her existence and that she was pregnant previously. Our plans for the 70 million dollar project will be disrupted if the Chief refuses to cooperate with us.” Han scowled and cast a menacing stare at Shyanne. He warned, “I don’t need you to tell me what to do. Get out!” The man’s threatening tone sent shivers down Shyanne’s spine. Color drained out of her face as she held her breath and hurried out of the room. Han was alone in the study room, smoking a cigarette and deep in his thoughts. He had intended to send Leah to a faraway place. However, after seeing the hatred in her eyes earlier, he changed his mind. In order to prevent Leah from causing trouble, he needed to control her every move. The man had thought of a way to keep her in check. After taking his last inhale, Han extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray. The next day, a few men barged into Leah’s room and forcefully dragged her out of Howard residence. They did not care that her body was still frail from the miscarriage. After shoving Leah into the nearby black SUV, the men carried her luggage, which was packed with clothes, and tossed them into the car boot. “What… what are you guys doing?” Leah protested. The car doors were kept shut after she was forced into the backseat. “Let me out!” Leah screamed and pounded on the window. When the car engine roared, she turned her attention to the driver’s seat and realized that it was Han. “Han? Where are you taking me?” Leah felt as if her last glimmer of hope had vanished. “You will know when we get there,” Han replied tersely. He stepped on the accelerator and the car sped down the road. There was a strained atmosphere between them as they rode in silence. Leah clutched her hands tightly and looked out of the window. She soon realized that something was amiss. “Why are we heading to the mental hospital?” Leah asked in puzzlement. Their eyes met in the rearview mirror and she noticed a change in Han’s gaze. His usual indifferent and distant eyes when he looked at her now seemed dangerous. Leah’s heart hammered in her chest, unsure of what was going to happen. The car soon came to a halt and Han immediately yanked Leah out of the vehicle. He instructed, “Stay here for now.” Leah scoffed inwardly, who stays at a mental hospital? This is obviously imprisonment! He doesn’t want me to interfere with his and Molly’s happy life. “I don’t want to!” Leah protested and tried to break free from

the man’s tight grip. Her efforts were futile as Han shoved her to the two nurses. After straightening the tie that she had twisted, he said with a poker face, “You have no say in this.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
