Substitute for The Alpha King novel Chapter 33

When Hannah left the breakfast table, she dashed into her room and shut the door, her heart was heavy, and she wanted to give into tears but couldn't at all. The walls were closing up on her and her breathing bead becoming synthetic, the only thing that she could do was breathe, she exhaled deeply trying to take a moment to sink in everything that had happened right from the first day that she stepped foot into his house. He didn't look like the sort of man who was keeping a secret from her.

The thought ate her up, as she walked down memory lane alone, so far, Shawn hadn't given her a reason to doubt and she always trusted him. Not that she didn't trust him at all, of course she trusted him, it was just that the both of them were keeping things from each other and that was not meant to be. She inexplicably fell into a cold war, she just wanted the ground to open and swallow her or for her to return to last night where she would rather have stayed in her bed than chase after him and meet the shock of her life.

She raked her hand through her hair, a part of her wanted her to do nothing else than to run back there and tell him that she had seen him Last night, she wanted to know who G was and why they were meeting last night. The mystery surrounding that man remained unresolved and yet she could not do that. She had her own secrets chasing after her and she wanted to tell him so that they could put an end to all these mysteries but then she couldn't.

She couldn't face him, she didn't know how to tell him that she was nothing but a replacement bride and couldn't tell him about it, he would find out that she was a liar and a deceit, she wasn't even meant to be his bride, it was supposed to be Jessica. Hannah was scared that he would get mad at her and her marriage would come to an end, her mother lay in the hospital and she wanted to save her, her thoughts were preoccupied and she hated it. She was hiding in here as if he could see right through her instead of being out there where he would talking to him. She was hiding like a criminal, even if she was a criminal and guilty of crimes. That made her heart squeeze and she just has to take it all in.

However, a knock on the door, sent her adrenaline rushing up and she couldn't believe it, he stood right outside the door, she thought that he would savor his breakfast and not bother about her. That was what she wanted, somewhere in her heart she always had that feeling that he would find looking for her.

"Hannah, are you alright, I really don't know what is wrong with you, can you talk to me?"

She didn't say a word, she was too scared to face him.

"Shawn, I'm alright, j am just resting"

"I know you are not resting, come on, what's going on with you? I know that you can hear me right now, you always hear me so why are you acting this way. Hannah you know that if you are In somw sort of trouble you can really count on me, you can always trust me that I will help you alright. Why don't you just believe in me once again as you have always done and open the door"

Hannah smiled though it did not reach her eyes. She did not even lock the door, it was opened, she only closed it since she didn't have to lock it.
