•Chapter 12• The Rules
I had a pounding headache when I woke up and it wasn't subsiding no matter how many painkillers I took.
I took off all of my clothes and noticed the bruise on my arm. I frowned and then remembered how Sebastian gripped my arm last night. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat. I know what happened between us was my fault but that does not excuse his behavior.

Mayor's Dutiful Wife •Chapter 18• Dinner with the parents!
We were going out for dinner hosted by both of our parents. I was scared to meet his parents like this. I could still see the swelling and bruise on my head. My hand also had a big blackish bruise. I was healing but they will notice it in an instant. I decided to wear my bodycon spaghetti strap black lace dress, it was one of my designs, and paired it with my four-inches black Louboutins and a black clutch.

I asked lowly, my voice almost above a whisper. He stared at me with an unknown expression on his face like he was trying to read me, to understand me. He leaned in closer, his lips slightly touched my forehead. I closed my eyes in uncertainty. "I'm s----" "Sebastian!" Karen yelled cutting him off mid-sen

He felt uncertain and nervous about all of this. A day before, he was so sure that he is going to do it but now he was having second thoughts. He kept tapping his foot on the ground as he waited for her. He didn't know how that thing works. What if it hurt her or has any serious side effects? What if she falls sick? He was feeling guilty since he saw her crying on Doris's shoulder. He knew he was the reason behind her tears and the thought made him hate himself. He promised himself that he won't fall for her tricks again. He promised himself that he won't care. She was doing it again, making him crazy about her so she could break him down all over again. It took him years to let her go, to move on and now it felt like he was back to square one. Hannah didn't sleep all night thinking about what is going to happen tomorrow.
