Hannah stood up still hurt at the fact that Logan had married her in form of a contract marriage, she walked past him and used the elevator to go to the top floor where the master suite is located, their bedroom. She pushed the door opened and walked inside.
Her eyes fell on the shopping bags on the bed. She walked past it and went to the bathroom to have a hot shower. Spending some more time in the bathroom, she came out wearing a pink robe. She took the robe off and went to one of the bags to pick out a black sleeveless night gown and wear it. After wearing it, she began to pack the bags and walked towards the closet door before opening to only find new pairs of clothes different from the ones that were in there the last time.
She robustly dropped the bags on the floor and walked back to the bed without closing the closet door. She climbed the bed and covered herself with the duvet to sleep.
Downstairs,
Logan entered the dinning room, making his way to sit on the head chair of the dinning table. He brought out his phone to call a familiar someone.
After a few rings, the person on the other end picked.
"Hey dude!" Long time, finally calling me. A lively male voice spoke.
Charles! Logan said in a brief tone.
What's wrong dude? Charles asked with a curious tone. With the way Logan had called his name was enough for Charles to deduce that something was wrong with his friend.
I need your advise. Logan said through gritted teeth.
And what advise may that be ? Charles asked excitedly.
Let's meet at the bar tonight. Logan said with a serious tone.
Alright dude. See ya, and send my sweet greetings to my dear Caroline. He said and was about to hang up when Logan spoke,
"You can do that yourself, you have her contact". He ended the call without waiting for Charles to talk. Cahrles could only smirk at his best friend cocky attitude. He could already presume the reason why Logan had called and it's either another woman problem or probably Scarlett. Charles thought.
Logan grabbed his car keys and left the mansion, entered his car and drove off in max speed. He didn't bother to check up on her. He knew, if he did, he wouldn't bother going out, not to talk of seeing Charles.
It was late in the evening, when Hannah finally stirred in her sleep, her lashes fluttered open and her sky blue eyes stared at the ceiling for a briefest moment before she closed her eyes and stretched her hands muscles. After stretching, she stood up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom to wash her face with water to clear the drowsiness.
After washing her face,she went to the clothe closet and brought out a peach colored dress and wore it. She didn't bother to comb her already ruffled hair and left the room and went downstairs to look for something to eat.
On reaching downstairs, Hannah noticed the documents on the glass table in the lounge. Jones the butler came to meet her.
"Good evening, ma'am, Master is not around and I doubt he will be coming back tonight. Dinner is ready." He said with head deeply bowed in respect.
Oh. She managed to say while she walked straight to the dinning room to eat. This is the right opportunity for her to run away from this house and this useless contract marriage her aunt and uncle ah e forced her in. This is the right time. She thought with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
Once she finally escape this prison that looks like a mansion in disguise,she will run back home and make sure she and her family leave this city, even if they can't afford to leave the country due to financial problems.
"Ma'am, would you like to do anything after dinner?" Jones the butler asked head bow and a bright smile smeared on his face.
Hannah who was busy eating the spicy meat paused and turned her head to look at the not to old butler.
Can I go out without the boss permission? She asked calmly surprised that this butler is asking her such a dangerous question. Just as he ask now, she thought about it, how will she escape with thousands of security guards filling the house like ants? And who even gathers troops of bodyguards like a psychopath? !
Yes ma'am, not out of the mansion, within the mansion. He said calmly.
Is there a swimming pool in this mansion? She asked taking a sip from her cold juice.
Yes ma'am, and there is also a secret door that leads to the garden. He said happily that his madam wasn't looking all moody like in the afternoon. He had heard the conversation between his master and the lady of the house while he was working, and he couldn't help but pity the poor woman who fell right in the trap set by his boss who wanted to seek revenge on his ex fiancee.
Hannah smiled at him.
When I'm done with dinner, you can show me there. She said beaming happily. While the butler was thinking, she was finally happy because of the place he wanted to show her, Hannah was happy because she can finally have the chance to run away from this place for good.
Ma'am, let me go and continue my work before you are done eating. He bowed and was about to leave when Hannah spoke,
"Thank you sir." She said and the butler's eyes widened before it returned back to normal.
Ma'am, you can just call me Jones. The butler said bowing his head.
Hannah nodded and the butler left to continue doing his work. While Hannah thought of many possible ways of escaping without been noticed. She knew once she was caught, Logan will be alerted immediately.
