HATRED MARRIAGE

HANNAH'S POV

I laid in bed next to the familiar who was half awake. After tiring him out I was able to get the information I needed. I sighed heavily. I needed a shower and a hot one for that matter. Sliding the blanket away I got up strutting down to the bathroom. Immediately I locked it, I needed a private shower I couldn't bet on the odds that the man on the bed might respect my privacy and let me shower alone.

Immediately I bristly run the tap hot handle of the shower and a little bit of the cold handle and just stayed there with my underwear and a dress shirt.

I was too tired to take both off, I needed something warm to drive this cold negate of emptiness. At first I felt warm but at the same time I felt nothing.

I sighed finally taking off my dress shirt and undies shutting my eyes. My hands wrapped me allover as a way of comforting me, I felt a little peck of warmth the size of a grain of rice my face fell and my eyes morbids slowly. "Hannah, you've been in the shower for way too long did you die ?" I groaned on hearing the Jacob's voice. I didn't reply, if I didn't say anything he might consider the fact that I am ignoring him. "Hannah ? Why are you quiet ?" Jacob goes off again, I kept quiet and hoped he gives up.

"Hannah ?" His voice gave his emotions away, he really thought I was dead or something. I could have found this amusing but I was already irritated enough.

"H.."

"What ?" I cut him off, immediately I run turn off the shower picked up my undies and dress shirt. I squeezed the water out of them and immediately walked out to meet Jacob who couldn't look away from my body. "Are you okay ?" He asked, his eyes bouncing back and forth disrespectfully.

I ignored him and quickly put on another dress shirt, I picked up my wet clothes concluding on leaving it in the bathroom and phoning for the hotel to dry it when dawn breaks, it is currently 4am.

"Will you stop staring at me Jacob. I don't like that sinful look in your eyes." I said clearly provoked. Jacob struts over to me picking up my chin. "Wanna go for another round ?" Jacob smirked leaning in for a kiss, i immediately pressed my palms over his lips pushing his face away.

"No thank you, I'm tired." I recites, I looked around the hotel room clearly showing my repugnanc towards Jacob. "Ah I did tire you last night, I'm surprised that you can still walk." Jacob smirked at me hoping he'll get a reaction all be got was my cold dead stare. He looked mortified.

I smirked on getting that reaction. "You never tired me, I tired you out. You couldn't even keep up. I was awake till 2 in the morning. I'm tired of you not being able to keep up dipshit." I watched Jacob's face slowly turn red.

I got bored of just looking at his face and picked up my phone to keep me busy. Jacob unable to say anything to me went to the bathroom to probably cry or something.

I immediately dialed a number, it was 4:21am I hoped that the person I'm contacting is awake and not sleeping. Immediately I heard a voicemail entry sings in my ears, when it got to the part to leave a message I vaguely muttered "It's me Hannah, I got the information you needed I'll relay it to you later. We need to meet in person i have a request." I immediately hang up staring at my phone.

Jacob came back in, I didn't bother to look at him but I know he couldn't keep his eyes of me.

"What Jacob ?" I asked unable to bear his glances even though I could not see it. "You're still working for your uncle ?" This means he knows I'm sleeping with him for information.

"Yes I am. You know I'm sleeping with you to get information from you." Jacob looked away confirming he wasn't as stupid as I credit him for.

"Why didn't you confront me or better use that for your advantage ?" I asked confused. The information I've been stealing for Jacob was worth billions and he let me steal them. "Because if you didn't get them he would have killed you." Jacob says in a depressing tone. I looked down at my thighs.

"What makes you think he would have killed me ?" I asked with a smug look on my face.

"I'm not stupid Hannah, I know what stretch marks are and it's not what's on your hip. Those are burn scars." I almost choked on my saliva. I thought I was able to treat them well to cover them up.

Jacob struts his way up to me. "I know he's hurting you. I only let you get away with it to reduce the burns or the possibility of you getting killed. I love you Hannah forget about working for him. Work for me instead I can treat you better I promise." I looked at Jacob lost in his dark brown eyes but then I realized that all what he said was just a dream.

If I ever turned my back against my uncle he will kill me for sure. I endured all those burns and beatings this long. I needed that man to give me my inheritance, I didn't come this far to abandon it and work for a man that might get bored of me.

"No thank you. I didn't ask for your help. How dare you ask me to betray my uncle ? He took me in when no one else wanted me. He provided for me and cared for me. Why will I stab the only person that ever extended his arms to help me. You may think it's just but that's disgusting. You make me sick." I narrated a whole ordeal of nonsense, I know it's nonsense but I needed to convince myself it was the truth.

"He's extending his arms full of thorns Hannah, I can't bear to see you like this."

"The only reason you ever got to see me like this was because of him. You're not the first or going to be the last get over yourself." I got up already irritated. "Then let me be the last man." I turned to see Jacob with one knee on the ground. He held a small box with a tiny ring sitting in it.

"Marry me Hannah."

ZACHARY'S POV

"You did this, it's your fault. You never loved me enough. I begged and begged and begged Zachary you barely have time for me...." Zeme went on and on without stopping. The man next to her was trying to comfort her as she went on and on about it was my fault for cheating. I didn't really know how to feel about it, it probably hurt a little since I actually liked Zeme but again it was my fault like always.

My secretary was way more hotter than her but I didn't go around sleeping with her or any other women. But I was always the problem, I didn't even look at any other woman, but somehow it's my fault again.

"Why didn't you ever touch me ? Haven touched me and it was amazing. I couldn't get enough of him.." she was hurt I was aware but honestly I should be the one screaming at her for uttering that rubbish.

"Did you like it ?" That was the only question that left my lips. Zeme went mute immediately, she was probably expecting me to get violent or something.

"Did I like it. ?" She recites my question right back to me. "Yes. Haven how was she ? From a scale of one to ten, you gotta be honest buddy." Both of them look baffled at my question.

"I've been wanting to try her out but I'm glad at least someone got to screw her instead of me. So how was it ?" Haven was conflicted on whether to answer my question or not. He looked at Zeme who was also confused as well. "She..she was good." Haven replied in a quiet tone.

"Good ?" I rehearsed back to him. "That's a 5, you couldn't have pacify me bed to begin with. I need at least a 9." My gaze fell to Zeme who just realized she messed up. Her eye widened and tears slowly streamed down her face. "Zachary.."

"Don't you dare call my name. Get out, it's over." I yelled at the top of my voice. Zeme immediately fell on her face, begging for me to forgive her. I thought she would be different but I was wrong. Like a cycle I kept getting cheated on and the first thing that came out of the women who did this was, this is your fault.

"Please forgive me, I was stupid, I just wanted you to at least be pained. You never touched me and it drove me crazy. You always flirt with that secretary of yours, you gave her attention but not me. What does she have that I don't ?" Zeme yelled.

"I only gave attention to Olivia because she's my secretary. And not the kind of attention you're thinking. I didn't cheat on you Zeme, you did." I said casting my gaze over to her. "Then apologize and I'll leave. Apologize for making me crave your attention and touch, apologize for driving me to this extent. That's the least you could do." She looks at me with her red puffy eyes trying to build a bridge to avoid the tears from building up.

"You know this is your fault, I don't understand how it's mine though but I want you out of my house. I'm sorry." I uttered. "You have 15 mins, I don't want to see either of you after that period. Dress up, pack your stuff and get out." I turned the other way exiting the room. If I stayed any longer I might have punched Haven, I didn't know him and that's more of a good reason to punch the bastard.

I couldn't punch Zeme, no matter how angry I was, she was the one who brought the base born to my house and proceeded to fornicate with him on my bed. The thought of that only made me gag.

Fifteen minutes passed, Haven and Zeme stood outside the gates of my mansion, Haven was busy comforting her while she smiled painfully like she got out of a abusive relationship, it was as if Haven was her savior and I was the abuser. Anyone would think the same if they didn't have the full story.

Again the house was quiet, it wasn't that much of a difference since Zeme didn't bring much when she moved in. She brought some clothes and basic necessities. The mansion was big so it wasn't that noticable to feel as if something was missing. The cleaners always dropped by on Thursdays and Fridays. The house had a top notch security system so there was no need for security guards and I barely come home so I didn't bother buying foodstuff. Zeme on the other hand ordered which reminds me I have to change the pin again.

This wouldn't have happened if Jacob stopped setting me up on blind dates, I wouldn't have dated all those women he recommended on dad's behalf and I would not have met Zeme.

Unlike the rest, she was loud, beautiful and intelligent, her intelligence didn't last long though.

I face palmed myself and froze, I admit I'm hurt. The only reason I came home in the first place was because Zeme called me claiming she was sick and I decided to call work off and see my ex girlfriend banging a strange man in my bedroom. It hurt most because she intentionally called me so I could meet her with him.

I hear someone attempting to access the pin to the door. Their access was granted I go down to see who it was. My eyes cast down on Jacob. He walked in with his hands hidden in his pocket. I stared at him up on the middle of the stair way.

"You look like you got your heart torn out.." I said as he smirked. "I did, so do you." Jacob replied running his right hand through his hair.

"Zeme cheated on me." Jacob immediately looked up with a bewildered expression. "Where is she ?" He asked. "She left with her partner in crime I kicked her out." I sighed bruising my palm on my face.

"I proposed to Hannah." I froze on the mention of that name. "Are you insane ?" I asked.

"I love her.." he uttered. "She's the daughter of the previous late godfather. What were you thinking ? She's evil." I yelled recalling every encounter I've come across with that woman.

"She's not evil, she's hurt and she didn't even accept my proposal.." Jacob said in a sorrowful tone.

HANNAH'S POV

A maid escorted me to the dining room of The Mendova family. It consists of my uncle Ephraim Mendova, My aunt Beatrice Mendova and their three abomination called children, Christian, Lilly and James.

Lilly was the eldest, she's 26 years old.

Christian was the second eldest, he's 25 years old

James was the youngest, he's 19 years old.

While I Hannah Victoria, I am 24 years old I'll be 25 this coming december. You might be astonished, Why do I hate the Mendova's kid so much ? Why do I answer to Victoria ? And where are my parents ?

My father was murdered by my uncle to claim the position of godfather. Everyone knows even me and I can't do anything about it. I was born into a Mafia lineage and it's normal for a family member to assassinate one another for power. My father eliminated my grand father to become godfather.

In the future Christian and James will fight for that title or at least one of them will kill uncle Ephraim.

As for my mother, I do not know of her whereabouts. The day my father died she disappeared.

I answer to Victoria and not Mendova. The Mendova's name is feared that doesn't stop people from knowing about me, thanks to my uncle forcing me to attend galas after galas. Victoria was my mother's maiden name and I legally changed it when I was 17. I was starting a new school at the time and I wanted my name to be cleared from this blood lust family name. It was a good decision I made a lot of friends and was popular for a quiet kid till I graduated. I had to cut some ties the only friend I kept was Kerry Widoeth, she's my closet friend till date. Her father is also in the mafia except he's alive. He's no different from those involved in the mafia.

The only good thing I could write about him is that he never abused Kerry and her mom. He was a casanova though and was the reason I stopped showing up at Kerry's.

As for the children of Mendova, I greatly despise them. Lilly the eldest was a bully. She always tied me down a pressed hot iron down my flesh because she was angry I didn't have stretch marks. I reported her countless of times only to get a beating at the end.

Christian was only a bully however it was after I refused to sleep with him. He was the one that tied me down while Lilly pressed hot iron against my skin. After the torture he would pretend to care and brush his fingers against the burn scars as an excuse to touch me.

Last but not least was James, he also was a bully in his own way. He would order me around and when I stood up for myself he would get mad and oppressed me most of the time, sometimes he reported me to his father who gave me a good dealing with. This went on for more than a decade but soon it would all be over and worth it.

I will leave this family and disappear just like my mother, it's just a matter of time.

I appeared before the Mendova's, I was wearing a green hatler dress with matching green sandals. It was a stupid tradition to dress formally to the dining room. I of course was made a scape goat to achieve this order. Everyone was dressed formally and already started eating without me, I didn't care if they even waited or not. I never liked eating with this family.

"Good evening uncle, aunt." I looked over at the three who were waiting for me to show my respect like their existence mattered. "Good evening Lilly, Christian, James." I ended it right there and resume to picking up a spoon to eat. "Hannah, you're getting bigger. Do try to watch your weight." My uncle commented on the fact my boobs were getting bigger. How does he expect me to fix that ? It's not my fault I had boobs and his wife was flat.

"I will uncle." I replied not actually spilling my mind. I just got back from a mission I don't have the strength to receive some lashing.

"How was the mission ?" I arched a brow, why was he only conversing with me, he has a wife and kids. I reported the mission to him already. "It was fine." I replied bluntly and planned on replying bluntly if he was going to keep putting me on stead.

"I was thinking about our last conversation Hannah and I think it's proper to bring it up now." My eyes couldn't get any bigger. "No.." I immediately stood up mortified, it was a private conversation between him and I. His family had no business being involved.

"I mean, I did meet you alone because it was private. I don't think they would want to hear about my boring affairs." I tried to chuckle like it wasn't a big deal but that wasn't helping my case. "What happened ?" Christian voiced concerned, I straight up scowled at him, he needed to mind his own business.

"Hannah wants her inheritance."

All eyes bounced at me, I steadied my breathing, it was okay he only said half of my request.

"She has an inheritance ?" James asked looking confused, I didn't bother to explain I would end up insulting him. "Probably a dime to her name.." Lilly joked, James laughed with her but uncle glared at both of them to shut them up.

That was strange. He's witnessed them abused me physically for years and just a joke he glares at them.

Misplaced priorities.

"What does she want to do with her inheritance ?" Christian asked, he's probably the only one interested. I don't want him to be.

"Tell them Hannah they'll understand you better."

Great just great, my uncle Ephraim throwing me under the bus like always.

"I'm not sure they need to know. I don't want them to know. I'm visibly upset that you're bringing this now uncle. They won't even care what I want to use my inheritance for." I said without thinking, my emotions were all over the place.

It was a mistake, I shouldn't have told him, I should have only asked for my inheritance and disappeared from the face of the earth.

"We won't care but at least tell us what you'd use it for." Christian asked trying to force the truth out of me. "Probably on plastic surgery." Lilly's reply triggered what I said next.

"I'm not dumb like you. I didn't drop out of college because of some himbo. You've gotten countless surgeries and still no where close to being beautiful." I trailed off at Lilly who looked like she was about to cry.

"Then what would you use the money for ?" James cockily snickered.

"I'll use my inheritance to get away from all of you. It's the least you can do for making me miserable for more than 10 years."
