《Substitute for The Alpha King》 Chapter 1: The wedding Night Chapter 1: The wedding Night "You are the one" Shawn''s tant stare didn''t waver from her. He looked at the beautiful woman, he hadn''t seen a woman so beautiful like her. "I...I..." For some reason Hannah felt shy, the words trapped in her throat as she looked at the Handsome man. There was so much she wanted to say to him yet so little came to mind. "Yes, I am" She was quick to add. "My name is Shawn Cooper" His gaze is not parting from her. He knew that at least someone needed to talk since she was shy. "Hannah, just call me Hannah Lockwood" It was the wedding night of Hannah Lockwood and Shawn Cooper. However, as she walked in through that door, the words vanished in her head. She was confident she had it all nned out just as before, Hannah was not the sort of woman who wouldck words to say, however when she met Shawn, those words escaped her mind. "This is strange" She mumbled under her breath and wondered why she forget the words to say, as her eyes locked together with Shawn. "It was nice to meet you" Shawn shot a smile at her, his pearly white teeth shing down at her. He was smiling at her and she should return the gesture but Hannah wasn''t sure if she should return with a warm smile, for a split second she was contemting what to do. When she realized it would be weird leaving him unanswered, Hannah knew she had to get back into her usual self, if she really wanted to make this night to work. "You too, it was... it was nice meeting you as well" She wasn''t sure how to talk with him. "So it is our wedding night, after all, you and I are now bound as man and woman." He takes a step closer to her. "I know... it has... it has been sealed and there is nothing that I can do to change that right now" "Why are you intending to change it?" He asked and wondered if it was because of his poor family background that made her say that. She shook her head. "No, how could I change what has already been put in ce" "You are right" As Hannah studied the lines on his face, it finally dawned on her once again that she was nothing but a substitute bride for Shawn, she wouldn''t be here if it wasn''t for what she needed the most. "You do realize that my familycks basic necessities" "Yes I do," Hannah need not be reminded. She had a difficult background as a step daughter. "That''s alright Sh...Shawn" Hannah couldn''t tell how she suddenly became a teenager who was too shy to be with this boy she crushed in her ss. That was the opposite between her and Shawn since she was meeting him for the first time. He smiled. "Why do you have to bring that up?" She asked "Nothing, I just thought you should know just a in case you were not aware, and this is our first meeting so I thought we should get to know each other a little" Hannah nodded her head. "You want to know me?" She was not certain that she heard correctly since she was wearing a dirty wedding gown and was a substitute bride for her older sister. However, somehow, Shawn saw that past everything, and when his eyes fell on him, all he saw was a beautiful woman. When those words left her mouth, Shawn nodded his head. Right there, Hannah was determined that she was going to make the best of her time with her new husband, Shawn. She was already here and couldn''t go back anymore to stop this day from happening. It happened for a reason. She reminded herself. "Yes I want to know you, Hannah" "I want to know you as well" Hannah was as confident as ever. However, she knew she needed not to appear before her husband for the first time looking like she just rolled in mud and dirt. "I will be right back "Where are you off to?" She pointed towards the bathroom and shut the door right behind it, not bothering to take another nce at him. Hannah stood before the small mirror, She wasn''t sure what she wanted to do at first but she was certain about one thing, she wanted toe out looking like she had just taken a shower. They might live in a small town and might have been married off to a man whocked a little, but she wouldn''t let it get in the way of her marriage. Her parents should be smiling and hoping she would be miserable but she was not going to give them have their way, not now, not ever. "Shawn and I are now married" She ran her hand through her hair letting the water pour on her skin, and reminded herself that she was no longer in the house of her father and stepmother. As she entered back into the bedroom, the only thing that was on her mind was to get along with Shawn. "You are looking even more beautiful" Shawn''s mouth was left agape. She was more beautiful than the flowers people grow in their garden. "Perhaps we can be friends" Hannah suggested.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. "Friends?" "For us to get along, we should try to be friends, don''t you think?" "You just read my thoughts, that was what I thinking as well" "So we have known each other''s name, what other things do you..." While Hannah was still talking, he pulled her into his arms, her hands falling on his chest. Her eyes widened, it was awkward being so close to him. "Now we can get to know each other better" "This is not what I had in mind" "Well this is what I had in mind, I like this a lot better, don''t you?" He pinched the bridge of her nose. She struggled to break away. "Don''t fight it, You can ask me anything you want" "Who talks in such an awkward position?" "Awkward? This is not awkward, yet" As thetter left his mouth, he pushed her to the bed, and he mounted on top of her body. "Now this is awkward, do you like it?" "Like it?" "You dot like it like it yet?" He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and pinned her hands on the bed when she attempted to move her hands, he drew his lips closer to her, and his breath fanned her face "Do you like it a lot more now?" Chapter 2: The Substitute Chapter 2: The Substitute "What are you doing?" She asked He smirked as he held her down, her eyes moved up and there she realized that she couldn''t her hands, and her feet were caged by him, and she was at a loss. He stared right into her eyes, her gaze didn''t drop from the Handsome man either. "What do you know about my identity?" Shawn suddenly asked. She wondered why he suddenly brought it up. "Yes I know that you are Shawn Cooper, son of the Cooper''s" Shawn nodded his head, he did not bother to tell her that he wasn''t exactly Shawn Cooper, that wasn''t his name nor did he bother to exin to Hannah, that he knew as well that she was not the real Hannah Lockwood. They were nothing but two substitutes who got married. How can Hannah Lockwood a high-rankingdy from a reputable family marry a ruffian like him? He thought and shot a smile at her. However, he doesn''t bother to expose her, or tell her that he already knows that she isn''t the woman who was supposed to marry Shawn. Telling her the truth was out of the question, he was almost doing the same thing that she did, They had their stories as well, and Shawn would want to respect that. "It iste, you should get some rest" He got down from her andid down.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. "Are you alright, Shawn?" She asked as she wondered why he had stopped with his questions and everything. Not that she would have wanted it to continue, but he suddenly stopped and told her to get some rest, Hannah thought it was strange. "Yes I am" She does not bother to give it more thought since Shawn hasn''t given her any reason to think otherwise of him. "It is alreadyte" She nced outside and realised the full moon had always appeared in the dark sky. "That is why you should get some rest, Tomorrow is another day, and we will talk" As heid down, sheid right next to him. A lot of things ran through Shawn''s mind as he stared at the ceiling, he hoped the night stars would appear before him and stop his mind from thinking so much. He had so many things to worry about, his mind was ying a trick on him. This marriage might be what he really needs at the moment. ncing at Hannah, he just knew that he made the right choice when he did not reveal the truth of what he knew about her. With a lot of things shing through his mind, he was tiring out and knew that he needed to sleep even if it was for a short while. He closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep. When the soft snoring caught her ears, she looked at Shawn only to find him sound asleep, he looked like a baby sleeping in her cot. A smile danced on her lips as she looked at the handsome man with a beard and packed muscles hidden under his shirt. He was the epitome of charming yet rough with messy hair, the appearance was nothing like Hannah imagined till her eyes studied the lines on his face, every crease on his face as he slept. With those packed muscles, she could tell that his chest was hard and toned, just as most girls loved it. His huge arms would wrap perfectly around her as her slim body. A feeling engulfed her heart and she smiled and attempted to run her hand through his face, but on second thought, she knew she had to control herself or else he might wake up, and assume that she was checking him out. Looking upwards, a shot of memory shed through her mind, her stepmother Beatrice and her step-sister crossed her mind. It was not that she missed them. Hannah will never miss those people, not after their nasty attitude towards her. Nevertheless, it was her step-sister who initially had a marriage proposal with Shawn, it was a contract marriage that would strengthen the Cooper and Lockwood family. However, the Cooper Family suddenly fell into hard times, and Shawn had no other choice than to be a ruffian. That was the only way for him, but her step-sister had a change of heart after discovering that Shawn''s Family was not having it easy any longer with life. She couldn''t let herself be trapped in that marriage, she wanted nothing more to do with such a person and her family agreed. Beatrice would do anything for her daughter and so would her father. Since the marriage ns have already been set in ce Hannah was the one who had to stand in as the proxy bride. When her Stepmother, Beatrice made that proposal, of course, she had to give it some thoughts, but when Beatrice told her that she was going to help her treat her mother''s illness, Right there, Hannah knew that there was nothing to think about, it was a yes! Content belongs to Of course, she has to give in to save her mother since she loves her dearly. As the thought infiltrated her mind, she ran her hand through her hair and turned the other way. There was no emotion that ran through her eyes as she closed those beautiful hazel eyes and before she could fathom it, sleep engulfed her. The morning sun filtered through the curtains and shined on Hannah''s face. Her beautiful body was sprawled on the bed, Last night wasn''t the best but it was certainly worth a start. She thought as she ran her hand through her hair, her eyes opened up a little. She nced around the corner hoping to hear some strange sound but didn''t. Her hand moved to the side of the bed but she didn''t feel anything. She nced outside and saw that it was bright. Where did he go? She thought and got up from the bed, uncertain where to head when a strange noise suddenlynded on the wall leaving her nonplussed. Chapter 3: Getting along with Him Chapter 3: Getting along with Him Following the trail of the sound, Hannah strides out of the room to the living room and outside, She was stunned to see Shawn indulging in his regr workout session. With a great figure and perfect movement and postures, she found herself smiling for a split second, when she remembered that Shawn was still a rogue.- He might be abusive at home and tried to beat her up. She thought, scared out of her heart. Hannah stared at his muscles, and imagined what damage it would do to her if it''s everes in contact with her face or any part of her body. As if sensing that someone was standing at a close distance, Shawn lifted up his eyes only to see Hannah leaning against the door staring down at him. He was Handsome, he knew that, but had a feeling Hannah was staring at him before of those abs. He arched up his brow at her. "Do you want something?" "Well yes, food" she whispered He didn''t quite get her and so he paused. "Huh?" "I mean, it is morning and I was about to head into the kitchen, do you want some breakfast?" Shawn shook his head. "No I''m good, you can have your breakfast, I am not Hungry" "Are you sure about that?" Hannah knew that after all that workout, he was going to get hungry sooner thanter, if she ever did that and went Hungry for the rest of the day, she might pass out. "Yes Hannah, I''m really good" He resumed his exercise and Hannah nodded. They needed to get along now that they were not just married but living together. "Alright, you can continue your exercise or whatever it is you are doing" Turning back, she walked into the house. As she walked away, Shawn lifted up his head and looked at her, he was silent and continued his workout. When Hannah entered the kitchen, she nced back towards the door, and when she doesn''t see any sign of himing behind her, she decided that she was going to make breakfast for two. Though she knew nothing about his favorite, she knew she had to make do with what she had; pancakes were easy toe by. As she held up her hair in a ponytail, she put her cooking prowess to work. The aroma of food wafting across the living room lingered in Shawn''s nose. He tried to act as if he was not being affected by the aroma of the mouth-watering pancakes, but his throat became dry the more he acts like he wasn''t affected. "Shawn" Hannah called as she appeared by the door once again. He paused, uncertain what she intended to say. "Hannah" He whispered, his tant stare not wavering from her. "Let''s have breakfast together" Right there, Shawn couldn''t resist the urge to taste her food, he knew it was pancakes and could already imagine himself nibbling on the food. "You want to join you?" He was amazed that she made breakfast for two. "Yes, I want that" She smiled holding out her hand and he grabbed those slim yet soft hands. "What''s for breakfast?" He asked although he already knew what was for breakfast. "Pancakes, do you have any special requests?" "Yes" She blinked her eyes. "What is it?" "You" he whispered and digged into his food. Her face heats up as she digged into her own food and starts to savor the mouth-watering pancakes. He would nced at her every now and then, she rolled her eyes. Though she was enjoying his flirtatious moves a little too much. "The pancakes?" "What''s wrong with you?" "The taste..." he pausedContent ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. She hoped he wouldplete his statement but Shawn did not intend to make this any easier for her. "What''s wrong with the taste?" "It taste like something" "What is it?" "Like you, it tastes like you" he winked at her and she shook her head. He was good at it. "Can I ask you something?" "What is it?" "Tell me more about you" Hannah wanted to know more about him even though she was nothing, but t l his substitute bride. There was nothing she could do now that they were married, the situation could not be helped. The only thing that she could do was make this work, she just wanted a good life with him now that they would be living together. When the words left her mouth, he paused on his food. "Why are you suddenly interested?" "Nothing" Her pearly white teeth shed down on him. "There is nothing much to know about me, I am just as I appear to be" He continued eating. She doesn''t say another word realising that he is not about to talk any further. He was reluctant to talk about himself and she saw that through his eyes. "Enjoy your food" She knew she dared not continue this conversation again. There was silence on the breakfast table for a moment before Shawn began flirting with her even further and before breakfast was over, Hannah wasughing, while el forgetting about that one awkward moment they had earlier during Breakfast. As she cleared the table, Shawn helped her out with the dishes, heading into the kitchen, he trailed behind her. "I will be heading out to return the wedding gown that I rented" Shawn was shocked. He had no clue that a wedding dress was needed for a wedding to take ce. He was even more surprised that Hannah married him in such a humble manner despite not being able to have it all on their wedding day. Right there, he felt his heart jolt in a manner he couldn''t fathom. This has never happened before. "Why don''t you go ahead while I handle it from here?" "Are you sure about that?" "Yes Hannah" "Thanks" Packing up her dress and every other thing that she had hired, she headed to the local store down the road. As store attendants caught sight of her as she enters, they begin tough, whispering to each other. "I know that I wouldn''t be so stupid to rent a wedding dress" One of them stated. "Much more a cheap and ugly wedding dress" Another added "What do you expect someone like her can only rent? It is something that obviously looks like her, cheap and ugly" "What a peasant! She couldn''t even take care of the only wedding gown thatplimented her day, I hope we never get this customer ever again" "What a poor rat! Gosh, I hate peasants!" Chapter 4: The heart of Shawn Chapter 4: The heart of Shawn Shawn stared at himself through the mirror, running his index finger on his face, he was lost for words to say since he never expected to get married aftering down here, to this town. Though he had used the identity of the actual Shawn Cooper, he did not think it would lead him down to the path of marriage. That was something that he did not seeing and now that he was finally married to Hannah, a beautiful woman who could make heads turn when she walked past.-Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. When he took on that identity, he never expected that his little wife, Hannah Lockwood would be having such a hard time, and life would be very unfair to her. Shawn ran his hand through his messy hair. "She was a recement bride" he shook his head, and a lot of emotions ran through his eyes. "It must have been so hard for her" Shawn was not happy that despite being a recement bride, her wedding gown had to be rented. Other girls would have had their wedding gown bought from the best store in the town but Hannah could only hire. Lowering the mirror down, he walked away, She struggled with so much and he saw that. He hated that she was struggling with so much on her own. "Hannah, how can you deal with so much on your own?" He could only imagine what it is like to be dealing with a lot on your own. When the memories of their time together during breakfast shed through his mind, it pushed a smile on his face, She was a good cook, he needed to admit that. Though he never intended to admit that to her at all. She would be better off if he didn''t admit anything to her. As he saw her struggle with so much on her own, Shawn couldn''t help but feel his heart squeeze over the fact that she was just burdened with so much struggles. In his heart was a twinge of sympathy for that woman whom he had married. Though Shawn knows nothing about Hannah''s true identity and doesn''t want to get inquisitive since he is fake as well. Why are you a substitute? He wondered. While he chooses not to get inquisitive about her, he is also trying to hide the fact that he is an Alpha. As an Alpha, he already knows that he can not stay in a small town for long, he couldn''t be living this sort of life for far too long. Someday, it will alle to an end and all of this will have to end. Shawn just doesn''t want to imagine the look on her face the day that she realizes that she is living with someone who is as fake as she was as well. There were bound to be stories but he was not about to reveal his identity, and neither was he going to ask about her own. When she asked him that question during breakfast, he just couldn''t bring himself to tell her anything about himself, That was the best thing and Shawn was d that part of him was not revealed. "All of this will soone to an end" His eyes filled with emotions. "I wonder how long it willst? A day, two or another decade or more" He smiled but the smile doesn''t reach his eyes. Shawn wasn''t really certain and couldn''t really say when, but before that will happen, he was going to make sure that he stayed by her side and helped her out in the little way that he can. He had a feeling that somewhere down the line, she was going to need his help and he wanted to be right there without excuses. When his heart jolted in his chest once again, he ced his hand on his chest. "You are not allowed to feel this way, it is Forbidden for you" "Do you know that you can look at any other person but not Hannah" He knew he had to remind himself that this was not right. When he came to the town of Wema, it was a small town and he pretty much liked it here since it was the only way out, at that time, he nned for every other thing but this wasn''t part of the n. He never thought he would start to feel differently towards Hannah. Content belongs to He ran his hand through his hair once again, something that had be a habit when he was restless, his heart was racing in a very strange manner. That was weird since his heart had never jolted for anyone in a long time, for a while, he had totally forgotten how it felt for your heart to skip. "This isn''t right and you know that. She is also not for you at all" His lips firmed. "Please don''t ever feel this way because this is all wrong and besides this is Hannah we are talking about, she is off limits, you know that all of this will soone to an end, so don''t even think about it" He reassured himself nodding his Head. However, that wasn''t easy as his mind kept drifting towards her not to mention that one breakfast they shared together this morning. It wasn''t just the food, it was everything, When he wasn''t expecting breakfast, she made one for him as well. "Hannah" He whispered. "You and I are different In a lot of ways and even if you don''t know this yet, I know that, and will not let myself feel this way for you, even the little of it is wrong" That was the truth, they were different in a lot of ways and he was only here for one thing, and that''s to recover. Once he recovered from his injuries, he was not going to spend another second here, it was goodbye between them because he was going to leave to reim what had always been his and there would be no one stopping him. Chapter 5: His arrival Chapter 5: His arrival "Yes I admit that the gown was stained, but I have already cleaned it up before bringing it here, I will never bring over something unclean and Stained to you because I know that I hired it" Hannah''s eyes were cold and unblinking. They might be ridiculing but she couldn''t care less. Their words didn''t get to her at all. "Shut your mouth, How can you say that you cleaned up such filthy clothes" One of the store attendants snapped and red at her. Any other person would have been intimidated by that look in her eyes but definitely not her, she was not the sort of woman who would back down and let them walk over her like some garbage. "Shouldn''t you have checked before you handed it over it me, you can see that the stain on the clothes, I cleaned it up" Hannah was still trying to exin to the store attendant "Stop talking! I don''t want your silly exnations, all I need from you is for you to admit that you ruined it. How can''t you do it? You are obviously poor and couldn''t afford to buy one, that is why you came to rent one" "I wonder why poor people chooses to get married, what a waste of time and consideration for us. Do not ever think about getting married a second time when you don''t even have the money to get yourself a gown, now, You had to stain it" "What a lowlife! If I were you, I wouldn''t even think about getting married ever again!" She scoffed ring at Hannah. Hannah could feel her hate for poor people. Before she can open her mouth to say something, her eyes falls on those familiar Grey eyes as he made his way into the store. "If I were you, I would never show my face to the rest of the town, I wondered how you smelled on that day" Another attendant squeezed her face. She looked at Shawn and remained silent. "That''s enough! Is that how you treat your customers? Shouldn''t you have some decency? She already returned the gown that she rented, you should leave it that way and not make a fuss over nothing" Shawn was quick to speak up. "You know, with the manner that you speak, I wonder between the both of you who is a peasant, at least she was able to rent her gown, perhaps you wouldn''t even have a gown to wear on your day" He controlled himself from reaching across the table and strangling the annoying attaendant. Hannah''s had no clue he woulde around and even stand up for her. Though, she had it covered and was just waiting for the right time to give them a taste of their own medicine. While Shawn was talking, the store attendants red at him, eyeing him up and down, one of themughed. "This must be the unfortunate man you got married to, shouldn''t you have done any better? At least if you were going to get married, you would have at least chosen who is not stupid and poor yet tried to act rich just because he got married to a beautiful wife" "Have you lost your mind, you savages!" Right there, Hannah who had been silent all along knew that she needed to give them what they were asking for. She chooses to be silent all along so she can see if they will shut the hell up, and ept the fact that she cleaned up her gown before returning it. However, those callous attendants just didn''t get it and tried to trample on her, the only thing was they picked the wrong person. "What? Savages" "Yes you are all savages, if you were all rich then you wouldn''t even be here, you would be in one of those cities and doing your thing, you would not even need to work in such a store, perhaps you are just as you look; stic and pathetic!" "stics?" The attendants lips quivered, she was amazed "Shut your mouth, and do not talk when I am talking and haven''t permitted you to speak!" Hannah was firm her eyes cold and murderous as she red at the women. "I want you all to apologize omen. this minute or I swear that this won''t be the end of it, You have no clue who you are messing around with" Shawn was moved by her action. "K will buy the clothes" Turning to the store attendant, he Said. "Package the best wedding dress in the store now!" Shawn held Hannah''s hand and left the shop. "Thank you" "For what?" Shawn asked UMS "The wedding dress. It is beautiful but too expensive you know, it might affect our future lives since we cannot afford it" "Yes, you are right" Shawn''s heart has softened. "You have done so much for me today, I don''t know how to pay you back" "You don''t have to" He halts and she haltes as well, staring at him. "Just consider it a gift" "A gift, well It is my turn to get you a gift as well" He arched up his brow at her. "What sort?" "Don''t worry about it, I''m off" She was about to run off when he held her hand. "Where are you off to?" "You Grocery shopping, I am cooking for us" She runs off before Shawn can get a chance to say another. word. As he stared at her till she disappeared, his mobile phone rang in his pocket, and he picked it up. "Hello" Shawn''s voice echoed through the phone "The time has arrived" When Shawn hears that familiar voice, he does not say a word and knows he has to listen. "The time for you to return has finallye" "What happened?" He brought himself to ask.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. "The one who caused you great harm has been found out, and so for that, it is time that you head back and restore your identity as the Alpha" Chapter 6: Decisions Chapter 6: Decisions I raked my hand through my Hair. How can I return after all this? Is that even possible for me? Staring at my reflection in the car mirror, I knew that now wasn''t the right to for me to return home, there was still a lot that I had to do to make that happen. Picking up my mobile phone, I knew that I had to do the right thing. "I can''t return now, the time has note for me to do that, when the time is right, I wille back home and reim my position, but in the meantime, still keep me informed- by your Alpha" I sent the message to him aware that he will handle the rest and if anything is to go wrong, he will keep me informed as well. When I sent the message, I slipped the phone into my pocket as I wondered if I was doing the right thing or perhaps, I should return back. However, I pushed the thought out of my head and got up from the pavement. I needed to look for her. After what happened at the store, she had gone to the grocery store to make it up to her, and he waited for him. He paced around while waiting for her, when his eyes fell on her making her way towards him, he halted and just stared at her as she closed in on him. What are you doing here?" She looked around, she was not sure if he was waiting for someone. "I was waiting for you so could head back to the house" "I did not know otherwise, I would havee a bit earlier" "That''s alright, you are notte either" Shawn cleared his throat and led the way with Hannah trailing behind her. They did not say a word to each other as they returned back home. After Hannah prepared dinner, Shawn and Hannah went to their rooms. Though, they were already Married, they slept in different rooms. No one brought it up, it seems as if they had read each other''s minds. After a few days, it dawned on Hannah that she had not received her dowry, and she needed to go get it. At first, thest thing on her mind was telling Shawn about it, that might not be good for her since that might attract the attention of Shawn, he was a rogue and since she was a substitute bride, she was afraid of what he would do to her. Fear engulfed her as she paced around the living room, she knew what rogues were capable of, she had heard stories of how they caused trouble for people who lied to them, and she was hiding the truth from them. "Are you alright?" Shawn asked as he appears by the door. "Yes, why won''t I be alright?" "You are pacing around, you only pace when you are nervous and scared" "You paced around the other day, where you scared and nervous?"Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Shawn did not think that she saw him that day he paced around while waiting for her to return so that they could head back to the house. "None, I was bored, you were gone and I was waiting for you to return, that is another reason for you to pace around but in your case, I assume that it is not boredom as you have many books to read" She reclined back to the seat. "Those books are ancients and I just can''t handle ancient books you know" Shawn studied the lines on her face, he sensed that she was not alright, something was amiss with her, it troubled her soul and he just knew it. Even though he sensed what might be troubling her, he doesn''t expose her and just walked into the room, only to return back into the living room with a box of jewelry. "Here, you have this" Her jaw dropped as her eyes widened, for a moment she was left nonplussed. "Where did you get these?" She thought that he had gotten himself involved in something illegal, which was the only way that he could afford to get her such an expensive gift. "I didn''t buy it if that''s what you are thinking right now" "So where did ite from?" "It''s a family heirloom, everyone in the family knows this, it is being passed down from generation to generation and now that you are my wife, it is only right that you are not left out of this, you only just have to be a good wife, that is your your husband" He walked out ly to leaving her no choice but to ept the heirloom. ** It was evening and Hannah had gone over to her house, she knew what wasing for her the moment that she walked right in through that door, yet that didn''t stop her from entering the ce where she once lived. When she locked eyes with Jessica, her step-sister making her way down the stairs, she sneered. "What are you doing here?" She snapped, enraged that Hannah had toe back. "I will be quick" "Aren''t you married to your cave husband, shouldn''t you be with him and disappear, now you stink like him as well" She eyed the clothes she has wearing, it was neat but overstated. "You should know that there is no room for peasants like you" "I am not in the mood for you Jessica" "What are you going to do then? Are you going to fight me?" She chuckled. "How is your wretched husband doing? You are nothing more than a peasant who married a peasant, how did you like the gift?" Hannah was confused, she was not aware of what she was talking about el but kept quiet, she was not just in her games, she only came here for a reason. Jessica nced around and kicked the bucket and the water poured on the ground wetting Hannah''s shoes. She was not aware that it was Jessica who had arranged for her to be the substitute bride as she had always been jealous of Hannah and wanted to get rid of her since she was a thorn in her flesh.
