DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 476: Completely Loving Her
Inside Eric's mansion, the tension in the air was inevitable.
A shattering of glasses was heard as Eric could not calm himself down.
He felt his heart was going to explode.
His blood was stirring, full of resentment and regret for what happened to Hanna and his unborn child.
He looked so terrible and restless.
In his right hand was a bottle of whiskey and the other was his gun.
For the first time, he was holding his gun with the intention to kill someone.
He was greatly pissed.
Very pissed with the situation and the person who was responsible for putting Hanna and his child in great danger.
He was also blaming himself too for the situation.
If he didn't leave the island, this thing would not happen to them.
Things would have been different if he didn't become complacent with Hanna's security and his son.
He should have convinced Hanna more to go with him to the city.
He should have stayed with them and never left them.
He should have protected them, his own family.
Carrying all the guilt inside him, Eric could not find any comfort in his personal space as he kept on throwing things to the wall. He could not just sit and wait for his men's and cops' reports.
He badly needed a result.
He badly needed to see Hanna unharmed and untouched that instant.
He didn't care what was going to be Trishia's demand.
All he cares about, for now, was Hanna and his son's safety.
Eric was unstable like his breathing was hard and heavy.
He felt suffocated along with the heaviness of his heart.
Heaving deep sighs again and again while his eyes fixated on the wallpaper of his phone's screen.
It was the beautiful Hanna he captured secretly while she was walking on the seashore.
The beautiful beach was her backdrop like a wonderful painting and she was part of it. She was walking at that time going home.
As usual, she always opted to walk along the shore rather than walking on the street side.
Her long smooth hair was swinging in the air while the golden sunset shone at her smiling face.
Eric was secretly looking at her on the side hiding behind a coconut tree at that time and he could not help himself to picture the perfect beautiful view.
Hanna's simplicity was marvelously beautiful.
When Hanna finally admitted the identity of the baby inside her tummy, Eric was so overjoyed.
No one could describe the greatness he felt at that time.
He had closed so many billion-dollar deals but knowing that he had a child from Hanna and he was going to be a father was not even close enough to the happiness he felt before. Having a child was having a life for Eric.
All his life was dedicated to his work and he thought he was satisfied with that kind of life.
Never he had known his great satisfaction would be coming from Hanna giving him a son of his own.
His happiness couldn't be compared to any of his business achievements.
His son was the most precious award he had in this life and with that, Eric decided to love and accept Hanna wholeheartedly.
He chose to forget Hanna's past and forgive her.
He would take charge of Hanna and his son's life.
They were his responsibility now and no one could hinder that even his best friend, Rosy.
That day he decided to leave the island, Eric went back abroad to visit his aunt's grave.
Eric knelt down on the ground to sincerely ask forgiveness from his aunt for three things.
First, he asked for forgiveness on behalf of Hanna.
Even before, his uncle Byer liked women a lot, and Eric was aware of that.
Whenever he heard reports about his uncle Byer's date, he just shook his head to get rid of the news.
At that time, Eric believed that his uncle Byer wasn't serious about those women and he loved his family more than them.
But then, the problem became serious.
Eric underestimated the situation with his uncle.
His uncle became so blinded by his wealth and used his money for gambling and women.
His uncle Byer put his family blinded also about his dirty vices not until when Eric discovered his uncle Byer stealing money from his company. The big discrepancy was pointing to his uncle Byer.
Eric had to do the investigation and found out that his uncle was broke.
Left with big debts and he had ruined his once-happy family.
This caused his aunt's terrible suffering and death.
Unfortunately, Hanna was one of his uncle Byer's women before.
In this cruel world, not everyone was blessed with abundant life.
There were many people who strive every day just to eat and bring food to the table.
There were people also who were hardworking but always had bad timing.
Good times were not on their side and sadly, Hanna was included in this kind.
Eric met her in a bar.
Hanna was a performer there.
She was good at dancing and entertaining people.
For many, they would find her a money grabber which was also his first thought and that was why he acted rude and treated her unfairly. He saw how she worked night and day to survive living with her brother.
To give her brother a good opportunity in life than hers.
Never minding her pain and tiredness as long as she could give her brother's necessities and save for his future, Hanna would take that all. She never slept just to work and never depend on the wealth of her father.
Did some tricks to survive but she was not the type of a girl who sleep with men using her body for money.
She had a clean conscience when it came to that part.
She just served them drinks, and give them her time like escorting them to a casino in exchange for a big amount of money.
If you are the poorest of the poor, you couldn't be so choosy.
Chances were made for those who are takers, not quitters and Eric believed that Hanna was just a victim of the world's cruelness. The second thing Eric asked for forgiveness was himself.
He was in love with Hanna and he could not stop himself from thinking about her.
He tried but he failed.
When he first heard about the real identity of Hanna, he was very devastated.
He resented her to death and tried his best to erase her from his life.
He dated women to replace her in his mind but he never did forget Hanna.
Her beautiful smile and innocent tantalizing eyes kept on playing inside his mind that even in his sleep he could see Hanna.
Hanna was making him crazy and the more he didn't see her, the more he felt wasted.
His life could never be the same again after he met Hanna.
Eric was angry with his situation at that time.
His anger was felt inside his office and all the people surrounding him.
He wasn't the cool boss anymore and a friend of his colleagues.
Eric was switched to a different guy too different from the way he was with his employee and friends.
He was very angry with Hanna because he couldn't get her out of his cycle.
He was a total failure and he felt sick.
Sick and tired of not having the woman he loved.
For hindering himself to love her even though he was dying to be with her.
For hating her so much but the fact was he wanted to hug her so tight and never let her go.
Eric thought he could survive with this but he didn't.
Every day had passed, and it made him feel more uncomfortable.
Eric knew deep inside him that the only medicine he needed was Hanna.
Lastly, the third thing Eric asked for forgiveness from his aunt was the next move he was about to do.
This would cause pain to Rosy but Eric was willing to do anything just to love Hanna freely.
He was going to go against his family but he was fully aware of the pain in the family.
For this, Eric sincerely apologized to his aunt.
It wasn't just forgiveness that he was asking from his aunt but her blessing as well for his relationship with Hanna.
He was ready to be her beloved man and ready to face the world with her.
He would marry her and give his son a complete family and he hoped that his aunt would be happy for him too.
After he visited his aunt, Eric felt a bit of relief.
He knew things would not be so easy for the both of them but love would do its thing.
Love would heal the deep inside their hearts and Eric was hopeful about that.
With Hanna's picture, Eric's heart was clenched hard then another shattering sound resonated inside the mansion until his phone chimed.
He quickly opened his messages expecting he could get a good report from his men or the cops but the message came from Arabella.
He frowned deeply but he was thrilled with her message.
He immediately felt that it had to do with Hanna.
When he read her message, Eric's eyes became murderous as he clenched his gun hard and then quickly stood up.
He was in a hurry to leave but then someone came in and block his way.
"Where do you think you are going, huh?!" Rosy strode inside enraged. "Eric, can you really kill someone, huh!?" Rosy added full of sarcasm in her tone. "Huh!? You can kill for that dirty slut! Are you out of your mind?" Rosy was already screaming.
Seeing Eric holding a gun just triggered her anger more for Hanna.
What could possibly happen if Eric killed someone? Knowing Eric, he was a nice guy.
His guilt was going to ruin him.
For sure, he would not be able to sleep with his pure conscience and all of these for that woman.
Rosy could not accept that Eric was willing to throw everything just for that woman.
The woman who ruined her family.
It irked her that much that after ruining her family, Hanna was going to ruin Eric.
His name, his company, his life, and Rosy could not allow that to happen. "Rosy... what are you doing here?" Eric was stunned to see Rosy in the city. "Don't ask me that lame question, Eric!" Rosy was so uncalmed. She was merely pissed with Eric and his will to risk his life for Hanna.
She could see it clearly that Eric was choosing Hanna that her and her family.
Eric didn't value her and her family which used to be his support family once.
He seemed to completely forget what that woman did to her family and not just that, he seemed to forget what her family did for him when he was still starting from scratch.
"Your secretary had told me everything, Eric. What are you planning to do, huh? Kill and be killed for that woman?" Rosy bombarded Eric. She could not let him go out and be in danger.
After hearing Rosy's scolding, Eric heaved heavily before he answered her.
"Just get out of my way, Rosy. Please. I will talk to you later when I come back." Eric's mind was preoccupied with Hanna.
He wanted to get there quickly where she is now.
Arabella's message was an address.
It was a location outside the city.
She seemed to be in a hurry too and was escaping secretly that she didn't bother to call him.
"No!" Rosy refuted loudly. "Don't tell me that you are going to choose that woman over me, Eric!" Rosy's eyes were full of resentment toward him. "I am your best friend. I was there with you from the start. I never leave you but you are leaving me for that girl. That person who killed my mom!" With intense fury, Rosy was trembling. Her face was flushed due to excessive anger.
Eric instantly pitied Rosy. Her words were all right.
"Rosy, I'm sorry. Hanna and my son were in danger. I have to save them! I will never forget your goodness to me, Rosy. You are always a person I adore and respect but please I will become a father! Please forgive Hanna and I know deep down in your heart, you had already forgiven her. You can't just let go of the past and you just find someone to blame." Eric sincerely apologized on behalf of Hanna. "Pakkk!!!" A loud slap sound echoed in the room.
Rosy slapped Eric hard.
It seemed Eric bulls-eyed her.
Rosy was full of hatred toward her father and until now she could not forgive him.
She was now living separately from him.
She hated him so much but she could not cut ties with him because he was her father and remained her father til the end.
Rosy needed to be blamed for everything and it was only Hanna she could hate more.
There was no hindrance for her to hate Hanna because she was just a dirty stranger.
Eric took a step back.
He let her slap her.
The air turned stiff as a deafening silence invaded the room.
His stern eyes looked at her for one last time.
"I will always remember your goodness to me, Rosy." He spoke sincerely then he turned around to leave but just when he was about to take his next step,
"Go out of that door or I will shoot myself, Eric!" With her gun pointed directly to her head, Rosy roared determined of what she was about to do.
She was determined to save her friend, Eric because she could never afford to lose another member of her family.
"Rosy!" Eric was completely taken aback.
