1790words
Hannah was very depressed during those times and she did not expect Blake to be so angry with her. But she also could not blame him for what he saw.
Days, weeks and months passed, and Blake never felt sorry for her again. Even though she called him a few times, but he could not be contacted.
~
After five years.
Hannah work shift was finally over, and she changes her waitress's uniform to her casual dress. This is one of a tiring night for Hannah because there are too many guests today and the closing time is delayed by half an hour.
She went outside and felt the strong winds that will be the sign for a rainy night and she begins to worry. Hannah looks at the old leather shoes on her feet, they are cracked and they completely ruined if she wears them in a rainy day again. Well, she cannot afford a new one.
She must hurry home as soon as possible and walking in the street going to their home. They must be waiting for her and she needs to cook their food.
The rain started to fall with a strong wind and hit her on the face that she could hardly open her eyes.
Suddenly, a glare of bright light sweeps through, and a silver car suddenly stops with a fierce posture, along with the sharping noise of the brake!
Hannah is blinded by the harsh light, and she is knocked onto the ground before she could take any reaction.
Hannah feel an intense pain on her knees and arms, she tries to stand up, but only stumbles and falls onto the ground again.
A man rushes out of the car and yelled at her, "What's your problem bastard? Are you hurrying to hell?!"
How can this driver be such unreasonable! the traffic light was red and she was walking through the crosswalk.
"How dare you scold me, as you are the one who run in a red light?"
Hannah trembles with anger as she looks at the flashy car parked in front of her.
"You can run a red light just because you are rich? i have got your license plate number. Do you believe that I am going to prosecute you at the police station?"
The driver did not expect that the woman to be such a difficulty to deal with. He is just about to speak when the car window slowly slides down and a hoarse but attractive voice comes out.
"Dismiss her with 1000 dollars."
"Yes, my master!" The driver immediately puts on a respectful one.
And the driver get the money and thrown onto Hannah, which makes her in pain. The driver gives her a look as if it is a reward and turns to get in the car.
Hannah's eyes are red with anger and tears well up in her eyes. She looks up desperately to keep the tears from falling. Picking up the banknotes on the ground, she endures the pain on her knees and arms. And with all her strength, throws them back to the driver's arrogant back.
"Shit!" the driver angrily said.
The driver does not see that coming, and the money hit him accurately. He turns around in furious and threatens to hurt her.
"Paul!"
The man sitting in the car stops the driver. Hannah looks into the car, the streetlight shining through the window on a man's face.
It is such a handsome face, just like what they say about ancient emperors in the legend stories. The aloof black eyes shine unfathomable light, and right now he is looking at Hannah in mockery.
"Come here!"
He crooks his finger to beckon Hannah and says in a defiant tone, with irresistible force.
The man is far too handsome, looking at his cheeks, Hannah is in a daze, she feels like she saw this handsome face somewhere.
Walking involuntarily to the window, she was shock when he suddenly grabbed her chin of this man.
"Aahh, it hurts!" Hannah's tiny jaw is suddenly seized by the man's palm!
she exclaims, "What are you doing? Let me go!"
The man stares at her sharply as if she has become his prey. He strokes her delicate cheeks with his big hands and says with a sardonic smile, "How could there be a woman who does not love money?"
Hannah feels painful with his pinch so she tries to break free of his grip. But the man's strenght is amazing. She cannot move just for a little bit.
Hannah glares at him too with hatred in her bright eyes, "Just because you are rich and you think you can do whatever you want? Let go! or I will go to the police and sue you! You ran a red light just now, and now you are committing a sexual harrassment!"
The man laughs scornfully and puts more forces and Hannah feels that her jaw is almost crushed and her pale face shrivels in pain.
"You are a madman!" Hannah could barely speak.
The man's dark pupils suddenly shrink and he releases his big hand! Without the force, Hannah falls onto the unguarded ground.
A gold card is thrown out of the window.
"This is my name-card; you can take it to the police station to sue me! of course, if you need medical care, you can take it to the Shining Company to find me!"
The man's proud voice carries condescending pity.
The black Lamborghini gallops away, splashing muddy water that soaks Hannah's already wet clothes. Hannah sits on the muddy ground, tears of anger falling down her cheeks!
She picks up the golden card, tries to tear it, but it is too hard! Even this man's business card is bullying her!
The phone in her bag suddenly rings.
She puts the card into her pocket and looks at the caller ID. Damn, it is her mother Megan.
"H-Hello."
"Hannah, do you know what time it is? Yet you are not home to cook! Do you want to starve us to death?"
Before she has time to speak, Megan's voice comes out, shaking Hannah's eardrum. Damn it! She would have been home by now. Without this accident, dinner would have also been ready.
Thinking that her half-unconscious father lying on the bed may suffer from hunger, Hannah struggles to get up from the ground and hobbles toward home.
Her shirt is wet through, and her wet hair clings damply to her skin. the night wind blows, making her feels chilling.
While pushing open the rusty door, Hannah is about to take off her wet shoes when she hears Megan's terrifying shouting from the house.
"Eat, eat and eat! You cannot earn a penny but bring us a lot of debt. What else do you want from me?"
Her mother is scolding her father again. Hannah feels a sharp pain in her heart. She hastily changes her wet clothes, walks into the kitchen and washes her hands and starts cooking.
Her movements are quite swift.
Two dishes and a bowl of soup are served on the table, including mixed pickles, stir-fried green vegetables, and tomato egg soup, which is the only dish with some meat.
Hannah gets a bowl of rice, chopsticks and some green vegetables. scoops up a bowl of tomato and egg soup and carries the bowls into the back room.
She entered the room and saw her father lying in the middle of the bed. His dazed eyes are half-open and half-closed and he is in a semi-coma condition.
He has been in such a condition since the bankrupt of the Wilson Group. At that time, he was so anxious and furious that he had a heart attack. Because she didn't agree to marry Harry, their business get into trouble and suddenly it went down to bankruptcy.
She regrets all of her decisions in the past, she knows because of her stubbornness, and did not follow her parents' wishes to marry Harry, they lost their business and company.
All of that was blamed on her by her parents.
So it is her obligation now to take care of her father who is sick and to support their family.
Hannah holds her father's head in her arms and feeds him little by little. Looking at his ascetic face, she feels sad and guilty.
Suddenly, a sharp female voice comes to her ears, "Mom, how can we eat this for dinner?"
It is her sister Eva. Since her father went bankrupt, she seldom comes home. What brings her back today?
"If you do not want to eat this, then find a rich husband, and then you can eat whatever you like." Megan said to her daughter.
After the meal, Hannah washes the dishes and goes back to her room to take a shower and to wash the wet clothes she has changed.
"Hannah! Where did you get this?" Eva holds the gold card excitedly and looks at her with green eyes.
"Ha?"
Seeing the gold card in Eva's hand, Hannah remembers the proud man in the Lamborghini.
"I got hit by a car today, and the card is from the owner of that car," says Hannah faintly.
"Do you know whose card this is?" Hannah's calm tone makes Eva feel incredible.
She shouts, with her white, red-painted fingers pointing at the name on the card, "Kendric George! He is the President of George Group and the owner of Shinning Company!"
The George Group? Kendric George? Anne is a little confused about Eva's anthomaniac expression.
"The George's Group, is a leading corporation in the world. It has a property, entertainment, catering, transportation, mining, oil and even military arms! Their influence is throughout Asia, Africa, and Latin America. It is a super plutocrat in the whole world! in many countries, the election of leaders is even dominated by the George's Group!
Kendric George, president of the group, was named the number one on the list of "Men that Women Want to Marry Most!" in the world by the Top magazine. He is not only rich, powerful, but also very handsome! Legend tells that his women are countless, but he never stays with them for more than seven days!"
Hannah was a little distracted watching Eva blabbering.
It sounds that Kendric George is so rich, but does it have anything to do with her? Although, they are both the same name of her ex-boyfriend Blake, she doesn't care about him.
