Chapter 496: Hannah’s Desperate Love
Hannah’s voice quivered, a desperate edge cutting through her words, her body trembling with the weight of her emotions. “Jack, I love you,” she confessed, her voice breaking, her eyes locked onto mine, searching for understanding, for acceptance.
“I don’t know when it happened, but every time I see you with Mom, it feels like my heart is being torn apart. It’s as if someone has stolen something precious from me,” she whispered, her body pressing against mine, her breath hitching as my hands found her waist, pulling her closer, feeling the heat of her skin, the curve of her body.
Her eyes welled up with tears, a mix of anger and profound sadness swirling within them, her body trembling with the weight of her emotions. “And it’s not just with Mom. Seeing you with others, even with Haruna, it makes me feel… uncomfortable, like I’m losing you all over again,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper, her body pressing against mine, seeking comfort, seeking reassurance.
Her body trembled as she turned to Julie, her mother, her eyes pleading for understanding, for forgiveness. “I thought that if I seduced Jack, pretending to be you, Mom,” she whispered, her voice barely audible, her body trembling with the weight of her confession.
She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, each beat a reminder of the turmoil within her, her body pressing against mine, seeking comfort, seeking reassurance.
“And making you see Jack fucking me, then you would be angry at Jack for cheating on you with me. I thought you would be furious with Jack for being with me. You would leave him, and then… then I would have you both to myself,” she confessed, her voice choked with emotion, her body trembling with the weight of her words, her eyes locked onto Julie’s, searching for a glimmer of forgiveness.
Tears streamed down her face as she continued, her voice breaking with the weight of her emotions, her body trembling with the weight of her confession. “I’m sorry, Mom. I’m so, so sorry. Please, don’t be angry with me. Punish me if you must, but please, don’t hate me,” she pleaded, her body shaking with the weight of her words, her eyes locked onto Julie’s, searching for a glimmer of forgiveness, of understanding.
Julie’s gaze shifted to me, her eyes slightly narrowed, though I could sense that her anger wasn’t truly directed at me. “You bad guy,” she said, her voice tinged with a mix of frustration and resignation.
In the tense silence that followed Julie’s words, the weight of her disappointment and sorrow hung heavily in the air. “Look at the mess you’ve created,” she repeated, her voice steady yet laced with an unmistakable sadness. “Now, you need to take responsibility and fix it.” Her eyes, though firm, glistened with unshed tears, reflecting the pain of a mother witnessing her family unravel.
Hannah’s breath came in short, sharp gasps as she struggled to maintain her composure. Her hands clenched at her sides, fingers digging into her palms as if seeking something solid to hold onto. “Mom, please say something,” she implored, her voice breaking.
“Anything. I can’t bear this silence.” The words spilled out in a desperate rush, her body trembling with the effort to stay upright. But the weight of her emotions was too much, and she crumpled to her knees, her body wracked with sobs. “I never meant to hurt anyone,” she cried, her voice muffled by her hands. “I just… I just wanted us to be together.”
Julie’s expression softened as she looked at her daughter, her heart aching with a mix of love and sorrow. “Hannah, look at me,” she said gently, her voice barely above a whisper. She knelt down, placing a comforting hand on Hannah’s shoulder.
“I am not angry at you,” she continued, her voice filled with regret. “I am sorry to make you go through all this. It’s all my fault.” She paused, her eyes flickering with unshed tears as she glanced at me. “But,” she said, her voice steady despite the turmoil within her, “I really love this bad guy… I…”
Hannah, overwhelmed by the flood of emotions, didn’t hear the rest of what Julie was going to say. She stood up abruptly, her body shaking with the force of her sobs.
“I am sorry, Mom,” she cried, her voice breaking with the weight of her regret. “And Jack…” Unable to bear the weight of the moment any longer, she turned and ran away, her footsteps echoing the sorrow and despair that filled the room.
As Hannah’s footsteps faded down the hall, Julie turned to me, her eyes a mix of concern and frustration. “What are you looking at?” she snapped, her voice tinged with a sharp edge. “Go after her. It’s the least you can do. Hannah likes you, and look at the mess you’ve created.”
I stepped closer to Julie, my eyes never leaving hers. “Are you jealous of your own daughter, Julie?” I asked, a teasing note in my voice. I pulled her into a hug, feeling the tension in her body.
Julie stiffened in my arms, her voice filled with a mix of defiance and hurt. “Why should I be jealous?” she retorted, pushing against my chest. “This isn’t about me. It’s about Hannah. She’s hurting, and it’s all your fault. Now my daughter hates me. Go fix it for me.”
I held her tighter, my voice low and reassuring. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything,” I whispered, my lips brushing against her ear. “But you need to understand, Julie, Hannah needs you just as much as she needs me.”
Julie pulled back slightly, her eyes searching mine. “She’s my daughter, Jack. I should have been there for her more. I should have seen the signs,” she said, her voice filled with regret.
“You can’t blame yourself, Julie. We both could have done better. But right now, we need to focus on making things right,” I said, my voice firm yet gentle.
She sighed deeply, her body relaxing slightly in my embrace. “I just don’t know how to fix this, Jack. She’s so hurt, so confused. I can see it in her eyes,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.
“We’ll figure it out together,” I promised, my hand gently stroking her back. “But first, I need to talk to her. I need to make her understand that we both love her, that we both want what’s best for her.”
Julie nodded, her eyes filled with unshed tears. “Just… be gentle with her, Jack. She’s fragile right now,” she said, her voice filled with concern.
