Leah observed her skinny body in the bathroom mirror. She was covered in bruises and

wounds. Leah gritted her teeth as the pain was excruciating when her body came into

contact with water.

Han must have been disgusted with my body in this state.

Leah took a shower, dried her hair, and changed her clothes. She proceeded to knock on

Han’s bedroom door nervously. “Come in.” A deep voice sounded from the room after ten

minutes. Leah entered the silent room as Han was sitting on the sofa with a hairdryer in

his hand.

“Dry my hair.” Han insisted as he placed the hairdryer on the table and leaned back on the

sofa. Leah picked up the hairdryer and began to dry his hair. She ran her fingers through

his hair gently in the process as she was cautious about provoking him.

Han felt that Leah was caressing his hair as she was being extremely gentle. He reached

out his arm and held her by the waist. Leah exclaimed as she was startled. She was

pinned down on the sofa the next moment.

A pleasant scent filled Leah’s nostrils as Han took a shower not long ago. Han remained

expressionless as he began to unbutton her shirt. Leah was covered in goosebumps. She

was feeling reluctant yet rejection is not an option.

Leah clenched her teeth with a flustered face. She kept her arms on the sides

begrudgingly. Han was not being gentle or rough. He unbuttoned her shirt slowly.

Suddenly, rumbling sounds sounded from Leah’s belly. She swiftly covered her face with

her hands to hide her embarrassment.

Han was stunned for a brief moment as he stared at Leah with profound eyes. “I’m sorry. I

haven’t eaten anything for a while now. Don’t mind me. We can proceed with this.” Leah

stuttered. As she finished her words, her belly rumbled again.

Han found it to be unbearable. He got up from the sofa and threw her a coat. “Get out.”

Han said. Leah apologized and left the room hurriedly while she buttoned up her shirt. She

headed for her room after leaving Han’s.

Leah realized the door was locked when she reached her room. A maid approached Leah

and said, “Ms. Murray, this room belongs to Ms. Lamere.” “Ms. Lamare?” Leah questioned.

“That’s right. She is Mr. Howard’s fiancée.” The maid answered.

Leah was baffled. “How can that be? Isn’t this…” She could not finish her words. The maid

understood her regardless. “Ms. Lamere liked this room so Mr. Howard decided to let her

stay here.” The maid explained.

Leah would have felt depressed if she was her old self. Leah had experienced countless

things that brought her to the point of despair. Han was not as important to her now. All

she felt was numbness.

“I see. I’ll be staying in the guest room then.” Leah said. “Wait a moment. I’ve prepared

dinner for you in the dining room.” The maid said. “How did you know…” Leah was

bewildered. “I noticed it unintentionally.” The maid said with a smile. Leah nodded without

a doubt. It could not have been Han that prepared it for her.

She returned to the guest room after dinner and had a good rest on the comfy bed. It was

the best sleep that she had in a few days. Leah was jolted awake by the knocking the next

day. She opened the door hazily. It was the maid.

“Ms. Murray, Ms. Lamere will be coming over soon. Mr. Howard insisted that you mustn’t

leave this room.” The maid said awkwardly. The maid found the situation difficult as it was

her first time experiencing Han hiding a woman at home.

Leah suddenly became fully awake. “Okay.” Leah said as she caressed her hair. “She just

said that?” Han asked with a frown. The maid nodded. She found it confusing as Han was

seemingly unsatisfied with Leah’s response.

“Fine.” Han sneered as he snuffed out his cigarette in the ashtray. He decided to step up

his game as things did not go as planned. Molly arrived at Han’s mansion at noon. “Han,

why did you call me over?” Molly asked excitedly as Han had never invited her over

willingly.

“Nothing much. It’s just been a while since I last had a meal with you.” Han answered.

“Really? Which restaurant are we going then?” Molly asked happily as she held on to his

arm. Han suppressed his hatred in his heart.

“We’re not heading out. Let’s eat at home.” Han said expressionlessly. “Eat at home?”

Molly was dazed. She continued, “Then let’s eat at home. It feels nice to be home.”

Leah was feeling bored as she watched television on the sofa. Suddenly, breaking news

aired on television. “Jane Crawford had been discharged from the hospital. However, she is

seemingly haggard due to immense pressure. She has not responded to the accusation of

Sasha White murdering Gordon White as of now…”

Leah’s heart fluttered as she saw the news. Images of Jane were shown on screen. The

once elegant and dignified woman had now become skinny and frail. Tears coursed down

Leah’s cheeks. She clenched her fists as she swore that she would get revenge for her

father. She can only do her best to please Han and rely on him as she was not capable of

getting ahold of Charlie herself.

Leah was feeling dizzy from hunger. She had not eaten breakfast or lunch. Leah was

malnourished, she could not bear the hunger any longer. She walked to the door and

placed her ear on it. She could hear Molly’s voice earlier but it was now silent outside.

I think they’re gone.

Leah hesitated for a brief moment before opening the door.

If Molly is still here then I’ll just hide again.
