Substitute for The Alpha King
Chapter 38:The reply

"What are you talking about? Why will I want a divorce? There is no such thing as divorce? Why will I divorce you? I am not doing anything if such"

"So you don't want a divorce, is that it?" She just wanted to make sure that she heard the right thing and was not just adding to it.

Shawn was a great guy, she can say that from the little time that they have spent together but in those times he has proven to be different and better than everyone one else that she knew.

"I don't want a divorce from you, I won't ask for it except you are the one who asks for it"

"I won't have to ask you for a divorce, I only brought it up because I thought you were going to ask it"

He shook his head and then held her hand leading her off to a seat. That will only make things easier for them if they want to talk about it

"So we are not talking about abut it, which means that none of us want to divorce" he smiles. He does not want to see the day that he will get to lose her, there was no need getting mad at her since he has always knows that she was fake. Since she opened up to him, it was the beginning of a fresh start between them, he has always wanted this and now that she has told him the truth, he feels guilty that he was keeping the truth from her as well.

"Yes we don't"

"When couples hide anything from each other, it is not always the best" He started but then he knew what he was hiding from him and wasn't going to tell her about it. He was scared that she was going to leave him and then everything will fall apart. Also, she had a lot to deal with, being a substitute bride for someone else meant giving up pretty much everything that you had dear. He had a feeling that she had no love life otherwise she would have been un happy and would not have asked him to come to her room that other day. "Yes I know that, which I don't want to hide anything from you and told you everything that you need to know"

Shawn tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, he knew he had to leave her to get to work, but then it felt as though she had more time say. She stared deep into his eyes, the memories of what she saw the other night with G shy through her head once again and she wondered what it is that they were talking about, he was right about something, secrets destroy everything in a marriage and She would not want what she had with him to be shattered in that manner.

Shawn is not going to tell her anything about G and the secret that he was hiding from her if she does not bring it up. There was no better time than now that they were already talking about it. Everyone will be open and then everything is out, they will start a new. She knows that someday this may all end or it will last forever, but she doesn't want to be left in the dark where she would not have another chance like this one.

"Are you still going to go to work?"

That was true she had to get to the office, there will be a lot waiting for her, but then this was more important, this was better than the last one and Shawn was family. Right now, it seems to be the only family that she has since her mother was not in the sand city with her and was sick. She was going to put him ahead if her job.

She ran her index finger on his face, reasoning battled with her mind. A part of her wanted to go ahead and ask him bluntly but then being blunt might not be actually good since Shawn gave her the benefit of doubt when she was hiding her one secret and so she will have to trust that he will tell her all about it as well.

"No I don't think so, and even if I am going to go I think I will be a bit late"

"Arrrh, are you not going to get reprimanded by your boss!"

"The mean one you left him somewhere in ICU and I don't think that today's the discharge date and the other one, he is kind noticing my work so I don't think that today that I am late with discredit every deal that I have closed so far for the company. It is Very stupid if he does not let me have this one moment, don't you think!"

"Well you know your job better, but why do you want to stay a bit longer?"

"I want us to talk"

"Okay, Talk about what?" She sounded strange and he does not know why, but then he had her attention. Hannah was the kind of woman that you will always want to listen to no matter the situation.

"We need to talk about us" She was firm. She knew that she was not in any position to ask him bluntly just because she opened up to him but she was going to be firm so that Shawn will realise that this was what she wanted as well. "What about us? Everything is great, isn't it? We are good to go" he was confused what she was implying.

"Yes we are except for little problem"

"Which is what?" He arched up his brow at her, he doesn't see the problem, they seem to alright now and it didn't look like she had more secrets to hide.

"I think that we should be honest with each other about Everything, you said it yourself that secrets kills and hurts and I won't want any of us to get hurt, can you do that for me?" Her lips curled up firmly.
