Chapter 4

Shyanne hissed, “How can our plans be unaffected? Do you think that Leah will agree to leave nowthat her child is gone? If she stirs up trouble, Molly will know of her existence and that she waspregnant previously. Our plans for the 70 million dollar project will be disrupted if the Chief refuses tocooperate with us.” Han scowled and cast a menacing stare at Shyanne. He warned, “I don’t need youto tell me what to do. Get out!” The man’s threatening tone sent shivers down Shyanne’s spine. Colordrained out of her face as she held her breath and hurried out of the room. Han was alone in the studyroom, smoking a cigarette and deep in his thoughts. He had intended to send Leah to a faraway place.However, after seeing the hatred in her eyes earlier, he changed his mind. In order to prevent Leahfrom causing trouble, he needed to control her every move. The man had thought of a way to keep herin check. After taking his last inhale, Han extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray. The next day, a fewmen barged into Leah’s room and forcefully dragged her out of Howard residence. They did not carethat her body was still frail from the miscarriage. After shoving Leah into the nearby black SUV, themen carried her luggage, which was packed with clothes, and tossed them into the car boot. “What…what are you guys doing?” Leah protested. The car doors were kept shut after she was forced into thebackseat. “Let me out!” Leah screamed and pounded on the window. When the car engine roared, sheturned her attention to the driver’s seat and realized that it was Han. “Han? Where are you taking me?”Leah felt as if her last glimmer of hope had vanished. “You will know when we get there,” Han repliedtersely. He stepped on the accelerator and the car sped down the road. There was a strainedatmosphere between them as they rode in silence. Leah clutched her hands tightly and looked out ofthe window. She soon realized that something was amiss. “Why are we heading to the mentalhospital?” Leah asked in puzzlement. Their eyes met in the rearview mirror and she noticed a changein Han’s gaze. His usual indifferent and distant eyes when he looked at her now seemed dangerous.Leah’s heart hammered in her chest, unsure of what was going to happen. The car soon came to a haltand Han immediately yanked Leah out of the vehicle. He instructed, “Stay here for now.” Leah scoffedinwardly, who stays at a mental hospital? This is obviously imprisonment! He doesn’t want me tointerfere with his and Molly’s happy life. “I don’t want to!” Leah protested and tried to break free from

the man’s tight grip. Her efforts were futile as Han shoved her to the two nurses. After straightening thetie that she had twisted, he said with a poker face, “You have no say in this.”
