Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 96

Leah made it clear she would save Ian no matter what.

As much as he hated her when they were together, Han knew how stubborn she could be. She would do whatever it took once she set her mind on something.

Dealing with the gangsters was a piece of cake for Han. He even had the time to see Leah off after taking the gangsters down. She ran toward the warehouse determinedly.

He had wanted to alert her of the dangers she might encounter in the warehouse, but it seemed she had no need for his advice. She was smart enough to know what she was getting herself into.

Leah was different now. He felt like he was losing her. The thought made his stomach turn.

After turning right at the end of the alley, Leah arrived at an abandoned warehouse. It used to be a chemical plant, but it was shut down for violating the regulations.

The air was pungent with a chemical smell. She pushed the gate open. It was pitch dark inside the warehouse.

She did not find a restrained Ian in the warehouse. Instead, it was eerily quiet in there. The air was stifling with despair. She called out to Ian, “Are you here, Ian?”

Leah was clueless. Someone turned on the lights in the warehouse and she was blinded by the light momentarily. She turned around to find a familiar face.

“Sasha?” She couldn’t believe what she saw. Sasha closed the door behind her and she lifted a cruel smile. “It’s been a while, Sarah.”

“What are you doing here?” Leah asked, stupefied. She wasn’t expecting to find Sasha here. She continued cautiously, “Did you kidnap Ian?”

Charlie was not always in his right mind. Sasha might have inherited his craziness, so Leah was not surprised if Sasha had kidnapped Ian.

“Shut your mouth!” Sasha gave Leah a death stare. “You don’t deserve Ian! I could have been his wife, if you hadn’t stolen him away from me. You’ve destroyed my life!” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Leah frowned. “Let’s be clear. It was you who stole my life, Sasha.”

She could have lived the past ten years happily with her parents, if Charlie had not swapped her identity with Sasha. Leah and Han could have been happily married.

Unfortunately, Leah did not realize her true identity until it was too late. She had spent the past ten years living miserably because Sasha stole her identity and her life. It was only fair for Leah to find her happiness with Ian now.

However, Sasha refused to listen to Leah. She mumbled as she approached Leah with a dagger, “Once you’re gone, I could return to my life as Sasha White, and I could be with Ian again.”

Leah retreated. She was at a disadvantage here because Sasha was holding a dagger and she was empty-handed. She had to buy some time before she could find a way to escape.

She thought about Han briefly. He might help her if he was still nearby. However, she knew better than to rely on him. He most likely had left by now.

“You love Ian, don’t you?” Leah tried to remain calm as she said slowly. “How could you kidnap and hurt him if you love him so much?”

“All I want is for him to return to me,” said Sasha, sneering.

Leah felt something was wrong. Sasha had been missing for a while, and nobody including Ian could find her. Now she planned a kidnapping; it wasn’t something she could carry out by herself.

“Where have you been, Sasha? Mom is worried sick.” Leah tried to get information from Sasha.

“Is she?” Sasha was stunned. She hated Leah, but the White family had treated her well and she still cared for Mr. and Mrs. White.

Leah took the opportunity to run toward the exit. Someone spoke into Sasha’s earpiece, “Don’t let her get away this time!”

Sasha realized what Leah was trying to do, and she was furious. She caught up with Leah and she grabbed her hair, pulling her back to where they were standing.

Leah struggled to escape. Sasha pointed her dagger at Leah’s waist threateningly. “If you don’t want to die, stop moving.” Leah followed Sasha’s order obediently.

Sasha tied Leah to a chair. Leah was baffled by Sasha’s action. She thought Sasha wanted to kill her. As she was wondering why Sasha kept her alive, the door was pushed open and a man entered the warehouse.

It was Han. Leah was shocked. She thought he had left. Sasha snickered, “You’re finally here.”

Sasha lifted a triumphant smile. She never thought Han would fall into her trap.

Han saw Leah being tied to a chair and he sighed. “I told you so. This is a trap.” He was disappointed she disobeyed him, getting herself into trouble.

“Hello, Mr. Howard, I’m here,” Sasha was annoyed he deliberately ignored her. Han gave her an icy stare. “What do you want?”

“I have a business proposal for you, Mr. Howard,” Sasha smiled. Han waited for her to continue.

“I could spare her life if you give me something I want,” Sasha said. Han was amused. “What makes you think I care if she lives or dies?”

Sasha’s face fell. She stared at Han. “You have feelings for her, don’t you?” She had to be right. Han wouldn’t have taken all the trouble to get here if he didn’t have feelings for Leah.

“I have feelings for her?” Han’s eyes were without warmth. “Are you serious?” Everyone who knew the truth would know he hated Leah’s guts.

Sasha looked at him suspiciously and she took a deep breath. What should I do now?
