Chapter 1598
Her voice was calm, so calm it felt as if she was talking about someone elseâs life, âSteven, letâs get a divorce.â
The moment she said âdivorceâ, he lost his mind and hurt her again, for another day and night.
Maybe the hurt was too much; she became scared. After that, she never mentioned divorce again. But he knew, day and night, all she was thinking about was escaping him.
But as long as he didnât let go, she couldnât escape.
Without her celebrity status, she was just a plain Jane. Other than acting, she didnât know how to do anything else. How could she possibly be a match for him, Steven?
To many and to herself, she was like a bird he kept in a cage, she could only be trapped as long as he didnât open the cage to let her out. He knew he was wrong, but he was too proud to admit it. So he clung on to her in another extreme way.
No matter where she went, he didnât allow her to be away from him for more than three days. He would follow her and stick with her, demanding sex all the time.e2
Once he heard someone say that women were soft-hearted, if you could keep her body, you could win her heart. He wanted to keep her using this method. He wanted to leave his deep mark in her heart and body. He didnât give her any chance to escape him, suffocating her time and again.
Recalling how despicable he was, Steven lifted his hand and gave himself a hard slap.
Hannah, who was staring blankly outside the car, was startled by the sound. She finally turned her head to look at him.
She saw his reddened face but asked no questions, just staring at him.
That cold stare made Stevenâs heart tremble with fear, âHannah, I know how despicable Iâve been, and I know how deeply Iâve hurt you, but please believe me, I wonât do such things in the future.â
Hannah turned her head back towards the car window, and after a long while, she slowly said, âIâve forgotten about the past.â
Forgotten? She could never forget. She just didnât want to think about it anymore.
Someone had once said, harm from a stranger was insignificant.
Because it was just a stranger. How could someone you didnât care about hurt you? The unforgettable pain can only come from the ones you loved the most.
Steven extended his hand again, wanting to hold hers, but she gently withdrew, âPresident Dixon, it doesnât matter if you disagree.â
She had lived in there for many years, a few more days wouldnât make a difference. At worst, her mind would be filled with images of him taking advantage of her. At worst, she would have insomnia.
Insomnia didnât matter; she can just take some sleeping pills.
What if sleeping pills harmed the body? It was her body that was getting hurt, not his, not Stevenâs.
Steven, âWho said I disagree? I will listen to you in the future. You can tell me any request you have, and even if you want the stars in the sky, I would pluck them down for you.â
Hannah turned around, her eyes filled with a gentle and playful smile as she looked at him. âThen go pluck them.â
