The Billionaire’s Secret Obsession (Grace and Owen) novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Twenty years ago, he was six years old. His parents were often away from home, so the only people in the house were Owen, the

housekeeper, and Hannah, the daughter of a deceased friend brought in by Leila.

Up to now, he still remembers that late night.

A sudden fire broke out, burning the houses. Thick smoke invaded his lungs and he felt his vision darken. Just as he was about to pass out, a small figure rushed in. It was Hannah who rescued him from the fire.

Perhaps the memory of that night was too profound.

He began to pay attention to every move Hannah made, and gradually, he fell in love with her. He knew he loved her, but he also knew that the future of the company was more important. Hannah couldn’t bring any benefits to the Morgan Group.

For this reason, he chose to enter into a marriage alliance.

Hannah was devastated when she found out. She cried and screamed, but Owen remained unmoved. What truly angered him was that Hannah had drugged him in order to be with him.

At the moment of losing control.

This scene was suddenly witnessed by Leila, who was furious. She quickly took Hannah away and then sent the confused Owen to the hospital.

Upon waking up, Owen assumed that Hannah had already left.

Hannah knew that her presence would eventually affect the marriage. She was aware of this in her heart, but her longing for him grew stronger. Whenever he thought of her, he would go to the villa to imagine her appearance.

Recently, he seemed to paint fewer and fewer pictures of Hannah.

Braving the wind and rain, Owen arrived at Silver Bay No. 8. He walked through the long corridor and entered the studio where Hannah’s portrait was hanging.

In the 730-plus days since Hannah left, he has painted 360 portraits, but as of today, there have been no more.

Staring at the wall full of portraits, Owen looked puzzled. He approached the easel, wanting to paint a portrait of Hannah.

Thoughts, however, gradually drifted away.

He couldn’t help but think of Grace’s words, lost in thought, the pencil still scratching on the paper.

A deafening clap of thunder.

Owen came to his senses and, as he looked up, he froze.

The person in the painting.

Hannah turned into Grace.

Night fell.

Hannah was suddenly awakened by a nightmare.

She suddenly opened her eyes, looked around the room, her chest heaving with fear.

This dream was the fire from my childhood.

When she was young, her parents died in a car accident, leaving her as the responsible person with a large amount of debt to repay. Relatives around her treated her as a burden and abandoned her.

Finally, they were dropped off at Leila’s house, a friend of their mother’s.

She had never seen such a big house or worn such beautiful clothes. In her memory, there were only small two-bedroom apartments and the daily arguments and fights between her parents. She was scared and

fed up.

She wanted to stay forever.

But I accidentally overheard Leila’s phone call: “Having one child is enough for me, I don’t really want to raise this girl, she has a bad temper. I’m thinking, should I send her to an orphanage…”

She didn’t catch the rest of the words, Hannah didn’t know how she left, she only remembered coming to her senses and finding herself standing by Owen’s bed.

His palm was squeezing his neck.

Since we only have one child, as long as she is here, isn’t that enough?

child at all.

Seeing his face gradually turning pale, Hannah slowly smiled. At a critical moment, she heard a faint cough in the hallway.

Consciousness instantly became clear.

She walked out of the door, met the puzzled gaze of the butler, and smiled sweetly: “Butler, my brother had a nightmare, I’ll go comfort him to sleep.”

Hannah didn’t know if the butler had noticed.

She could only try to pretend that nothing had happened, leaving cautiously, knowing that she couldn’t stay after causing harm. So, how could she stay?

After thinking for a long time, she came up with a better plan.

A big fire broke out, and she saved Owen, becoming his lifesaver.

Naturally, she also managed to stay.

Hannah wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. The dream she just had was completely opposite to reality. In the dream, she was discovered by the butler to have murderous intentions towards Owen.

Leila was furious, and she sent her to a juvenile detention center.

Hannah took a deep breath as her pounding heart of fear gradually calmed down. Just then, the phone on the bedside table vibrated.

It was another overseas blank call.

She lowered her head, looking at the phone in her hand that was constantly vibrating, her expression dark and unclear.

Hung up one, then dialed another, like a death knell.

Hannah’s face turned pale and then blue. After a while, she looked around the villa to confirm that Owen had not returned yet. The butler and maid were already asleep, so she leaned on her cane and went outside to answer the phone.

The sound insulation inside the villa was very good.

As long as she didn’t come out, we couldn’t hear what she was saying.

After the call was connected, a cold and eerie laughter came from the other end, “Ms. Morgan, you finally answered the phone.”

“You had so much fun abroad, why are you now refusing to go out after returning to the country?”.

Upon hearing this voice, Hannah’s face turned cold, and she gritted her teeth, saying, “What do you want?”

With a sneer, he spat out a chilling threat: “Ms. Morgan, I’m short on money lately. I need to borrow some from you. You wouldn’t want Owen to see those videos, would you?”

This video captured the moment when she spoke her mind after drinking, almost strangling Owen.

Hannah tightly clenched her hands and asked, “How much?”
