Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 19

Leah was frightened by Molly’s paranoia. She moved backward to keep a distance from Molly, but she was only inches away from the edge. “Please calm down and listen to me. The relationship between Han and me is not what you imagined. He never treats me like his wife, and I want to divorce him. So, I am not a threat to your relationship with him,” Leah explained. She would have to save herself from Molly, no matter what. After that, she would draw the line with Han! However, Molly was determined to get rid of Leah. “I don’t believe you. I want you to disappear; only then would Han be completely mine.” Not letting Leah have another chance to speak, Molly signaled her bodyguards with a look. Leah sensed the danger. Without thinking, she wanted to push Molly away and escape. However, she lost her balance on the slippery surface of slopy rocks and fell from the cliff. Splash! When Molly looked down from the cliff, Leah had already disappeared into waves. Molly was startled at first, but then she turned to her bodyguards behind her. “I didn’t push her. She fell by herself. Let’s go!” smirked Molly. A period of time passed after Molly left, a small head appeared above the water. Then, Leah emerged from the water and breathed hard. Luckily Leah knew how to swim. Otherwise, she would be dead by now. Leah learned to swim because she used to have recurring nightmares of getting trapped in a burning vehicle and falling into the sea. To get rid of the fear of drowning, she enrolled in a swimming course behind her father’s back with the money she earned from her summer job. With a deep breath, Leah pushed herself up from the sea. She was unharmed, except her scalp hurt from soaking in seawater for too long. Leah figured that since she had now escaped Han’s control, she did not want to return to him again. However, without her ID, she could not leave Linkville. Furthermore, Han had a vast influence in Linkville. Therefore, it would be difficult to stay below his radar in Linkville. Suddenly, an idea came to Leah’s mind. Her eyes glimmered with excitement. The most dangerous place could be the safest place! Leah felt like a heavy weight lifted from her shoulders. She did not know that the news of her accident had reached Han’s ears. Clunk! An ashtray dropped on the floor. Han froze in his seat, with a cigarette between his fingers. His pupils contracted. “Say it again?” “Mis Lamere… she said that Miss Murray ran away on their way to the Lamere residence. By the time her bodyguards went for her, Miss Murray had fallen into the sea,” said Ben in a timid voice. He observed Han’s reaction. Han stared into the void with a blank expression. Suddenly, Han stood up. The chair made anContent © NôvelDrama.Org.

ear-piercing sound from his sudden movement. Han took his jacket and wanted to leave. Then, he stopped. No. Han realized he could not just go to the Lamere residence and interrogate them. Han suppressed all his emotions and began to regain his sense. “Send someone to the coast. I need proof, life or death,” ordered Han with a hoarse voice. He could not even breathe at the thought of Leah’s death. Waves of emotion rolled underneath Han’s eyes. His face grew sterner when his lips pressed thinner. His breaths became heavier amid the silence in the room. “Yes, sir.” Right before he closed the door, Ben saw Han’s clenched fists shaking. He sighed. After all, there was no way that Han would feel nothing at all after being married to Leah for three years.
