Chapter 134
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 134<\/p>\n
Hannah never thought the day would come when she\u2019d find herself on her knees in front of Bonnie.<\/p>\n
Cold seeped in through her knees and crawled up her body, prickling her skin. She nearly had to bite down on her tongue just to push through the shame twisting inside her. But what did that matter now? Losing everything would be so much worse. She looked up, clinging desperately to Bonnie\u2019s arms, dragging her purse and scarf down to the wet pavement.<\/p>\n
Rain had soaked them both, and even the brightest colors had turned dull and splotchy. It was impossible not to feel exposed\u2014people all around stared, whispering just loud enough for Hannah to hear.<\/p>\n
Who was the real wife? Who was the other woman? No matter who he loved, no matter who \u201cwon,\u201d wasn\u2019t the child the one who suffered most?<\/p>\n
But standing here, Hannah couldn\u2019t convince herself that anyone in this mess could really be called a winner.<\/p>\n
At least, she told herself, she still had the moral high ground.<\/p>\n
Tears streamed from her eyes, making her seem fragile, almost pitiful. Right now, she was every bit the tragic heroine\u2014the woman who would even give up her dignity for love.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know maybe nothing happened between you two, but he can\u2019t forget about you. What am I supposed to do? Bonnie, I\u2019m begging you, please, just leave… If you go away, if you get as far from Cabinda as you can, he\u2019ll finally give up hope. He\u2019ll stay with me, with our child, and my family won\u2019t fall apart. I\u2019m not as amazing or strong as you are. If Lawrence leaves me, I honestly don\u2019t even know what I\u2019ll do!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease, Bonnie…\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnie found herself pulled into this struggle, her chest tightening with frustration and panic. This wasn\u2019t the Hannah she remembered. Sure, Hannah always knew how to say just the thing to get under your skin, but never\u2014not once\u2014would she drop her pride and beg. Right now, Bonnie had no idea what to do.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t let herself give in out of sympathy. Not again.<\/p>\n
\u201cHannah,\u201d she said quietly, but firmly, meeting her eyes, \u201cI haven\u2019t done anything wrong. Leaving would make it look like I\u2019m guilty, and Cabinda is my home. I\u2019m not going anywhere. If anyone leaves, it should be you.\u201d<\/p>\n
She looked over at Jasper, who stood completely frozen in fear and confusion. Bonnie\u2019s heart clenched. \u201cAre you really going to put your child through this? Do you have to do this in front of him?\u201d<\/p>\n
The mention of Jasper made Hannah\u2019s expression twist even more. She yanked her stunned son into a tight hug, a little too hard, and Bonnie winced. The boy started wailing, caught between the crowd and the scene in front of him. He didn\u2019t understand any of it, only that his mother was crying on the ground and nothing in the world felt safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-802","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
