Substitute for The Alpha King
Chapter 37: Divorce II

"What are you talking about?"

"It is an option for you to think about, I know that I did wrong and that is the only way for me to correct everything that has been done to you, you don't deserve any of it if this marriage bothers you and your mind, we can Start plans for the divorce" "And if I don't mind?"

"You can stay" She had already made up her mind when she came to Tell him everything, she knew that it would not be easy for him to accept everything that was happening. Other of his members would have dwelt with her in a very serious manner but he seems to be taking it lightly with her. However, she doesn't want to get her hopes up, and then everything ends up crashing against the ground. It cannot just happen.

"So what are you saying?" She arched her brow at him hoping that he would say anything that would give her a clue if they were going to the city council or not.

Deep in her heart, she wasn't sure what she was going to be expecting since Shawn wasn't the most predictable guy, he was always hard for her to read, so many times that she tried to see right through Him, but it was not easy, other times she would study the lines on his face just so she can have a clue of what he was thinking in his mind.

"Do you want to know the truth?"

"The truth?" She was confused.

"Yes"

"What is the truth?"

"I have been waiting for you to come and say this but you have been delaying and I knew that I had to be a little patient with you, I know that you are going through a lot on your own, you had your busy day at work, and your damned bosses that you have to put up with one way or the other, that is something that you wear shouldering all by yourself and I have to be considerate of all those things before doing anything

"What are you talking about?" She was even more confused by his words.

"I have been waiting for you to be honest with me right from the first day of our marriage"

She staggered backward, her eyes widened, as her jaw dropped to the ground but she was quick to close her mouth, she was left nonplussed, in utter shock for a moment as she blinked her eyes Wondering at what point he knew everything, and why he chooses to keep quiet and play the pretend game with her that was something that she was not expecting. Not that she was expecting him to walk into the room and tell her that he knew that she was hiding something from him, that would be devastating for her, he did not want to make her cry at all since she had been put through so much by her family.

"How?... when? Did you always know?" She was shocked, Hannah was sure that she did so well to make sure that he didn't find out the truth. She did not bother crying that night, there was no need for it since she had already gotten married to him and was going to live with it. That was something that she made up her mind to do in order to save get mother and she wasn't not going to go back in her words like some little kid. There are Times that she just wants to give up from all of them and other times that she just wants to stay because of the man that Shawn turned out to be a different kind of man, something that she never expected and Didn't think would come to her on a platter of gold.

"Don't feel bad that I know alright?"

"I won't feel bad, I am not just in the mood for all of these" she lied, she just didn't want to face the fact that he knew that she was not the wife that he was meant to marry right from the onset. "Are you feeling somehow that I knew your identity all along?"

She shook her head, how could she feel bad? That saved her so much headache and she just had to bear with it. Perhaps if he had not known it would have been something else, he would have hit her and called her Names that she would not say that she did not deserve, of course, she did deserve it all. However, he knew that she was a substitute bride and that saved her a lot of stress, though it was funny that he kept it away from her that long without even getting mad at her if this were someone else she would have been ashamed and hated herself for lying but it was Shawn and he turned out to be someone different from other men.

"If you ignore my identity all along, why didn't you tell me the truth or try to expose me? You could have time me that you know that I am hiding something and that would have made a Difference"

"It would, wouldn't it but then, can you bear it all? I don't think that you can bear everything that will happen, you will be scared and may try to run away, that is not what I want, I know that sometimes when people are hiding something, it is not because they choose to because they have no other choice and that is so for you"

"You are right, I have no that choice"

He was right though, she had no other choice back then and when he offered her the chance to come with him to another city, it would have been easy for her to turn it that but then that would be stupid and so she went along. She knows that she has to keep her secret, she is afraid of the things that might happen if he gets to know the truth about her identity. Now that she has said it all to him, she feels different.

"So tell me, Do you want a divorce,?"
