Chapter 210
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 210<\/p>\n
The sun filled Cabinda with warmth that morning. Rays poured through the bay window, lighting up everything they touched. Still, Hannah only felt cold.<\/p>\n
She sat curled up in the window\u2019s corner, hugging her knees tight. Every part of her shook, her skin almost ghostly pale. Going two days without food had hollowed out her face and left her eyes fierce with defiance.<\/p>\n
She heard a sound from the door and barely flinched. Jackson stepped in with a tray of food. He glanced at the bodyguards posted outside. He tried shutting the door but one of them stopped him.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeave it open, Jackson.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jackson let out a tired sigh. He gave up and brought the tray over, setting it gently by her side. His voice dropped to a careful hush, as if he was afraid she might shatter. \u201cHannah, you should eat a little. Just something. Please.\u201d<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t look at him. Her gaze stayed stuck on the world outside. \u201cWhy is it you?\u201d<\/p>\n
That question cut straight through him. Jackson felt something sour spread in his chest. \u201cOdette said she couldn\u2019t get through to you, so she asked if I could try. Don\u2019t do this to yourself, Hannah. Please. Everyone\u2019s worried about you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
She let out a low, bitter laugh. \u201cWorried? So they locked me up, took a stranger\u2019s side, shredded my reputation, and called it concern? That\u2019s funny.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jackson fell quiet. Honestly, he knew there was a need for some sort of public statement. But even so, he thought Lawrence and his parents really went too far this time. No proof, no kindness, just tossing her to the crowd.<\/p>\n
They\u2019d left Hannah with no way out. She wasn\u2019t stable to begin with. How was she supposed to handle this kind of betrayal?<\/p>\n
But what could he really do?<\/p>\n
A voice answered from the doorway. \u201cLet her see,\u201d Lawrence said, stepping in, looking drained of life and emotion. \u201cLet her know what it feels like when the whole world turns on you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hannah\u2019s scream stopped. Her eyes found Lawrence\u2019s and held there. All her anger and hurt showed.<\/p>\n
Her lips trembled. She couldn\u2019t speak. Jackson saw her shaking and didn\u2019t dare hand her the phone, but Lawrence just looked down, unlocked his own, and tossed it to her.<\/p>\n
The phone landed in her lap with a heavy thud. On the screen was her social media account. The page that used to be full of life and noise now had only a single lonely post.<\/p>\n
Her follower count had dropped by more than two-thirds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-878","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/878","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=878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
