Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 22

The person on the other end of the phone remained silent. Sasha thought he had hung up the phone.

After a while, a brassy voice came from the phone. “Calm down, and don’t alert anyone. I’ll take care of it.”

“But, but she saw me! Sasha almost cried. “I would be done if she found out about me! We all would be done for!”

“Stop fidgeting, coward! Remember, you are the daughter of the White farmily. Act your part!” The man’s scolding finally brought some sense to Sasha.

“If she looked for anyone from the White family, try to stall them. I’ll take care of that wornan.” Then, he hung up the phone.

Sasha was upset and distracted. Nevertheless, she followed the instructions and went back to the White residence.

On the other hand, the man hung up the phone. “Han Howard, you useless bastard! Couldn’t even get rid of Leah Murray after three years.”

His eyes narrowed. Then, he sent a message to Har

Day after day, there was still no news about Leah.

Han sat in his office and looked at the vibrant scenery outside of his window.

When Ben opened the door, he saw Han sitting there like a meditating monk. His shadow looked incredibly lonely

“Mr. Howard,” said Ben, breaking the silence in the room.

“Any news?” Han turned and asked.

He did not realize his voice had become hoarse until he started to talk.

Ben could not help but feel sorry for Han. “No. We had searched not just the coast, but the whole mountain, but we still can’t find your wife.”

“Shut up! That woman is not my wife,” said Han in a cold voice.

“Sorry, sir.” Ben lowered his head terrified. “Mr. Howard, could it be Miss Murray had…had passed away?” asked Ben in a shaky voice.

Han’s eyes twitched when he heard the words “passed away”.

Once again, the room fell into silence.

After a while, Han stood up from his chair. “No, she has no right to die. Her life belongs to me.”

Hatred seeped through Han’s eyes, and it terrified Ben.

Knock Knock!

Someone knocked on the office’s door.

Han hid away the hatred on his face. “Who is that?”

“It’s me, Han,” said Molly from the other side of the door. Ben quickly opened the door.

Molly walked in and frowned. “Why is the room smell of tobacco? Did you smoke, Han?”

CHABUN 20

She saw the ashtray on the table filled with cigarette butts. Han had been smoking a lot.

What’s upsetting him?

Han did not answer Molly’s question. Instead, he looked imitated. “What’s the matter?”

Molly immediately replaced her inquisitive expression with an overly sweet smile. “Han, you promised me to have dinner with my family today. I’ve told Daddy about it. Have you forgotten?”

“No, I didn’t.” Han rubbed between his brows. “Let me take a show and get changed first. Wait for me here.”

Then, Han gave a look to Ben as he walked to the private bathroom attached to his office.

Molly began checking out the place when she was alone in Han’s office.

She felt very excited when she imagined Han working hard on his chair in his office.

Then, a phone rang and interrupted Molly’s daydream.

Molly found the source of the sound. It was Han’s phone. Molly took a peek at the screen and found that it was a message from an unknown number.

Could it be a message from that woman?

Molly quickly picked up Han’s phone and opened the message.

“Leah is not dead. She’s at lan’s house.”

The content of the message made Molly’s heart skip a beat.

Leah is not dead?

But why would this person inform Han?

Molly knew that Han would definitely go to look for Leah when he read the message.

She could not let Han find out about Leah. But, if Molly did not kill Leah the first time, she did not mind doing it again!

Molly’s eyes glinted. She quickly deleted the message and pretended like nothing had happened. Then, she made another call quietly.

Han had already dressed up when he walked out of the bathroom. “Let’s go!” he said, picking up his phone.

His brows knitted when he touched the phone.

Something was not right.

Han noticed some residual warmth on his phone, albeit only a little.

“Han, what are you waiting for? Let’s go. Daddy is waiting for you.” Molly put her hand on Han’s arm.

So, Han put his suspicion in the back of his mind and walked out of his office with Molly.

Leah was watering the flowers in the garden with the maid. The maid tried to warn Leah because she thought Leah was interested in lan.

“Mr. Sanders has been close with Miss White since they were young. Mr. Sanders always listen to Miss White, even when she wanted him to wear a dress or play pretend as the father. Mr. Sanders really likes her.”

Some fragmented images appeared in Leah’s mind, hurting her head. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Then, her phone rang. Leah answered her phone.

“Miss Murray? I’m Mr. Sanders’ assistant. Unfortunately, Mr. Sanders met with an accident on our way home. Can you come here?” said an anxious voice over the phone.

Leah’s heart clenched. “Where?” she asked.

“City Center Hospital.”

“Alright. I’m coming.”

“Also, please don’t tell anyone else because Mr. Sanders does not want to alert his mother. Please come discreetly.”

“Understand.” Leah did not suspect anything.

Her mind was occupied because she worried about lan. After all, lan had saved her before.

“Miss Murray, where are you going? Mr. Sanders had requested you not to leave before he returns. The maid quickly stopped her.

“I’m going out to get something. I’ll be back soon,” said Leah without turning her head.

“Gold digger.” The maid looked at the back of Leah with disdain as she walked away quickly.

The security at the entrance recognized Leah as the woman lan brought back and let her go. Leah did not encounter any obstacle leaving the Sanders residence.

There was no taxi for hire outside of the Sanders residence. So she had to walk quite a distance to get one.

A loud, abrupt brake came from her back as Leah ran.

Leah turned her head. Before she could see anything clearly, a sack came down her head, and all she could see was darkness.

“Who are you? What do you want?” Leah kicked and fought back. “Help! Help me!”

However, they were a quiet neighborhood without many passersby. No one heard Leah’s shout.

Leah was dragged into the car.

Thud!

The car door closed and sealed in Leah’s scream.
