The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

From the shadows, the rabbit masked man observed everything silently.

A flicker of excitement sparkled in his eyes.

Remington, this is just the beginning.

The real game has only just commenced… he murmured to himself.

He then dialed Peterson.

Boss, I failed to kill them.

That was my mistake.

Petersons voice was severe and unforgiving. Didnt I explicitly instruct you to ensure Hannahs safety? If she had been caught in that blast, you wouldnt be alive to regret it! Unfazed by Petersons menacing tone, the masked man responded, Boss, you can take my life anytime.

Hannah isnt simple.

If you intend to control her, be wary-she might uncover the truth.

Petersons eyes darkened, his voice icy.

I ordered you not to harm her! Do you understand? I dont care about the others.

I want her alive and well! The masked man replied, Got it, boss, next time I wont take matters into my own hands.

Hannah and Bryson parted ways with the others en route and then headed to the hospital.

Wallace looked much better.

Upon entering the ward, Hannah saw her father, as he chatted with Keith and Trent.

Wallace returned her greeting with a warm smile.

Why do you have time to come today? he asked.

Noticing Bryson beside her, his expression turned knowing.

So, you brought your boyfriend to see me.

Aware of Bryson and Hannahs relationship and approving of it, Wallace didnt object.

Im free today, so I brought Bryson to visit, Hannah replied.

As they settled in, Wallace said, Perhaps its time we dissolve the engagement between the Pierce family and the Compton family, so nothing holds you two back. Keith, standing nearby and said, Or we could keep it.

One boyfriend in Cadilind and a husband abroad shouldnt be a problem.

The room fell silent at his comment.

Bryson glared in Keiths direction.

Just kidding! Keith quickly added, retreating from his joke.noveldrama

Trent nudged him discreetly, warning.

Enough, youre on thin ice.

Hannah, however, laughed, the tension of the past days lightening.

Seeing her smile, Wallace asked, Have you run into trouble lately?
