Begging For A Reconciliation
Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Leah was frightened by Molly’s paranoia. She moved backward to keep a distance from Molly, but shewas only inches away from the edge. “Please calm down and listen to me. The relationship betweenHan and me is not what you imagined. He never treats me like his wife, and I want to divorce him. So, Iam not a threat to your relationship with him,” Leah explained. She would have to save herself fromMolly, no matter what. After that, she would draw the line with Han! However, Molly was determined toget rid of Leah. “I don’t believe you. I want you to disappear; only then would Han be completely mine.”Not letting Leah have another chance to speak, Molly signaled her bodyguards with a look. Leahsensed the danger. Without thinking, she wanted to push Molly away and escape. However, she losther balance on the slippery surface of slopy rocks and fell from the cliff. Splash! When Molly lookeddown from the cliff, Leah had already disappeared into waves. Molly was startled at first, but then sheturned to her bodyguards behind her. “I didn’t push her. She fell by herself. Let’s go!” smirked Molly. Aperiod of time passed after Molly left, a small head appeared above the water. Then, Leah emergedfrom the water and breathed hard. Luckily Leah knew how to swim. Otherwise, she would be dead bynow. Leah learned to swim because she used to have recurring nightmares of getting trapped in aburning vehicle and falling into the sea. To get rid of the fear of drowning, she enrolled in a swimmingcourse behind her father’s back with the money she earned from her summer job. With a deep breath,Leah pushed herself up from the sea. She was unharmed, except her scalp hurt from soaking inseawater for too long. Leah figured that since she had now escaped Han’s control, she did not want toreturn to him again. However, without her ID, she could not leave Linkville. Furthermore, Han had avast influence in Linkville. Therefore, it would be difficult to stay below his radar in Linkville. Suddenly,an idea came to Leah’s mind. Her eyes glimmered with excitement. The most dangerous place couldbe the safest place! Leah felt like a heavy weight lifted from her shoulders. She did not know that thenews of her accident had reached Han’s ears. Clunk! An ashtray dropped on the floor. Han froze in hisseat, with a cigarette between his fingers. His pupils contracted. “Say it again?” “Mis Lamere… shesaid that Miss Murray ran away on their way to the Lamere residence. By the time her bodyguardswent for her, Miss Murray had fallen into the sea,” said Ben in a timid voice. He observed Han’sreaction. Han stared into the void with a blank expression. Suddenly, Han stood up. The chair made an

ear-piercing sound from his sudden movement. Han took his jacket and wanted to leave. Then, hestopped. No. Han realized he could not just go to the Lamere residence and interrogate them. Hansuppressed all his emotions and began to regain his sense. “Send someone to the coast. I need proof,life or death,” ordered Han with a hoarse voice. He could not even breathe at the thought of Leah’sdeath. Waves of emotion rolled underneath Han’s eyes. His face grew sterner when his lips pressedthinner. His breaths became heavier amid the silence in the room. “Yes, sir.” Right before he closed thedoor, Ben saw Han’s clenched fists shaking. He sighed. After all, there was no way that Han would feelnothing at all after being married to Leah for three years.
