Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 1597

In the past, regardless of whatever happened, even before Hannah could take any measures, Steven had already taken action and handled things. properly. This allowed Hannah to focus on honing her acting skills, earning her a slew of awards big and small.

However, after parting ways with Steven, her public relations team, which seemed almost redundant when he was around, failed to handle even the smallest of issues.

Now, Steven was no longer a part of her life. She didn’t want to reject him while still enjoying the benefits brought by him, so she decided to take matters into her own hands this time.

Even if she couldn’t outsmart Daniela, she had to try. Running away would only make her opponents stronger.

Hearing Hannah’s firm words and seeing the determination in her eyes, Steven got it. Although he didn’t want his girl to take risks and would rather continue to protect her under his wing, he knew he should let her stand up for herself if she wanted to. Only when she could stand on her own would she become stronger, and maybe she would be more likely to accept him then.

He also wanted her to see what his life was really like.

Hannah knew how dangerous it was to come back this time, so she didn’t refuse when Steven offered her a ride back to the city in his car.e2

Steven naturally instructed the driver to head back to the house they used to live in. But too many unpleasant memories resided there for Hannah, and she didn’t want to return. “Steven, can we stay somewhere else?”

Steven turned his head, his gaze soft as he looked at her. As she was looking out the car window, he could only see her dark, straight hair. “Where would you like to stay?”

Hannah’s emotions didn’t fluctuate as she replied, “Anywhere but there.”

Steven reached out, placing his hand on hers, his eyes filled with guilt. “Hannah, I’m sorry.”

He knew how terrible he’d been in the past, especially the awful things he’d done to her in that house.

He remembered one time when she came home from filming a night scene, completely drained. Just because she’d had dinner with a male co-star,

he lost it.

It wasn’t just the two of them who dined, but also the supporting actors from their movie. It was just a private gathering.

When she returned home, exhausted, he had sex with her regardless of her fierce resistance, her pleas, and her explanations. That day, he pressed her against the large glass of the floor-to-ceiling window.

While hurting her, he whispered into her ear with a wicked voice, “Hannah, tell me, would your fans still support you if they saw you like this?”

She was an actress, a popular one at that. There were countless paparazzi who wanted to capture her every move, no matter how secretive she was. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was the large river where Harbor City meets the sea, with many yachts going back and forth. The tourists on the yachts all had phones with which they could potentially capture them. Not just tourists, but paparazzi could be among them too. If they got a shot and it went viral, her acting career would be over.

He knew he had the power to prevent that from happening, but Hannah didn’t. Hearing his words, she trembled with despair, her voice hoarse as she pleaded with him, “Steven, can we go to the bedroom, please? We can go somewhere else if not the bedroom, just not here.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

And him?

He ignored her pleas and took more excessive actions. When it was over, he saw the deathly stillness in her eyes, and he regretted it, feared it.

He wanted to comfort her, but he did nothing. He picked up his clothes and left. As he was leaving, he left her with one more cruel statement, “Hannah, don’t think too highly of yourself, our marriage is just a financial transaction. You should be thankful that I’m still interested in your body, otherwise, you would have nothing.”

The next time they met, she asked for a divorce.
