The next day.
Hannah was curled on the sofa thinking of Gaels divorce declaration and his mothers words.With each passing day her situation was getting worse and worse.Betraying Gael was the biggest mistake she had ever done.Why did she let her jealousy get the best of her?If only she had never met Isabel.Isabel?Yes,Isabel.It was her fault.If she never met Isabel,she wouldn't be doing any of this.It should be Isabel paying,not her.
Her sudden burst of anger was interrupted by the bell.Hannah flinched and started trembling.What if it was another family member of Gael?What they finally would take action to beat her?
The bell rang a again.After no response,the person behind the door was getting impatient and started ringing nonstop.Hannah finally got up and slowly went to open the door.
At the monitor she saw an unpleasant face among the people behind the door.This time she opened the door with a fierce face.Glaring at the woman in front of her.
The woman smirked and spoke with fake concern.
"Oh my,oh my!Hannah dear,you have completely let yourself go!Look at your skin,it has completely dried!And oh my god,those eyebags!" then she tried touching her cheek.
Hannah slapped the hand away and furiously yelled.
"Why are you here Jessie!You are not welcome in my house!"
Jessie stroked her red hand,but surprisingly wasn't angry.She cheerfully asked.
"Your house?"
"Yes!MY house!"then Hannah grabbed her elbow and pushed her away."Get the hell out of here!"
Jessie was pushed away a few steps.She turned to the men and said while pointing at Hannah.
"You saw that right,sirs?You saw her use violence on me!She doesn't let me enter my own house!"
"What **** are you talking about?Your house?I don't have the nerve to deal with this get.Get out!"
"See?She still continues!"
The man with the glasses and that was holding a file spoke.
"Miss Hannah Williams,please pack your belongings and leave this property."
"Are you people trying to kick me out of my own house right now?"
"Sir,please explain it to her."Jessie said while grinning in front of Hannah.Watching Jessie like this Hannah had the urge to pull her hair.
"Miss Williams,this property has been bought by Miss Jessica Anderson.As of today she is the legal owner of this apartment."
Hannah started protesting.
"What do you mean bought?This apartment isn't for sale!Quit with the bull****!Are you trying to scam me?Get out all of you!Get out!"Hannah started shrieking.
"Miss Williams,please don't make this harder for us.We are giving you 2 hours to pack all of your belongings.If you haven't left this apartment in 2 hours,I'm afraid we'll have to use force."
"You're still keeping with this bull****!Get out or I'll call security!"Hannah started calling the security."I'll show you!Kicking me out of my own house!Hah!These people have no shame!"
The man was losing his patience.Though he didn't snap,he tone got colder.
"Miss Williams,the owner of this property,Mr.Gael Laurei,sold it a few days ago to Miss Anderson.The process was finalised today,making Miss Anderson officially the legal owner.Right now you are trespassing.We are giving you 2 hours.If you haven't left by the time that we are back we're going to have to use force."
Hannahs face turned as white as a sheet.Gael had actually sold their house?And he sold it to her biggest rival?!No,no he couldn't!He loved her!He never would no matter what she did!He would never hurt her pride like that!
Security finally came.Hannahs eyes shined.She pointed at the group of people and started telling the guards.
"This group of people!Kick them out!They tried to enter my house forcibly!"
Jessie sneered.
"Again?You can't give up,can you.I bought this house!Now it belongs to me Hannah!If you don't get out of here in 2 hours,we'll call the police.I'm already being kind enough by giving you two hours to pack your trash and go!"
"This house isn't yours!Gael would never sell this house!Especially to you!"
"Hah!You even have the audacity to say his name after what you did to him!You really have no shame!"
Caos emerged.The security guards were confused and didn't know what to do.Finally the other man that was accompanying Jessie got in the middle and tried calming her down.
"Miss let's leave and return after 2 hours.It will be more to your advantage if we wait."
Jessie glared at Hannah and Hannah glared back.She thought it for a second and agreed.
"I'll be back after 2 hours if you haven't left,don't blame me for being cruel."
Hannah clenched her teeth and tried to grab her.
"You even dare to threaten me!"but she was held back by the men.
After Jessie turned to leave Hannah yelled behind.
"Yeah,that's what I thought!"
But Jessie didn't turn back and left leaving a swearing Hannah behind.

Isabel removed her glasses and saw the high building on her left side.She took a deep breath and then drove to the parking lot.
When the workers inside saw her they all respe tfully greeted her and Isabel nodded and gave them a smile.Usually she would go and stop by James's office but this time she headed directly to her own office.
After a few casual greets with a few colleages and underlings it was time to finally talk to the ones she was here about.
A woman wearing a creamy white blouse and a pair of black trousers together with a man who wore a pair of dark jeans and a white shirt,paired with a pair of black framed glasses.Both showed capability and intelligence though their airs were different.The woman seemed more serious and stoic while the man a bit more gentle and easygoing.
"Emma,Oliver,please have a seat." Isabel's face was serious as she pointed at the seats.The two looked at eachother confusedly and sat down.
"I'm going to give you two a few important tasks.These tasks are crucial to the company's fate." suddenly Isabel stopped as if reminded of something and looked around her office.
"You know what,I'm not going to tell you here.This isn't a safe place,there are ears everywhere.We'll head out for lunch together and I'll explain there the details.After an hour meet me at the parking lot."
"Isabel is everything okay?" Emma spoke with concern.
Isabel sighed "If we don't do something,it won't.I'll explain it to you later."
Emma and Oliver knew they shouldn't pry anymore.The fact that Isabel called only the two of them and was suspicious enough to carry this conversation outside meant that in this building she trusted only the two of them.
After an hour the three of them got into Isabels car and drove off.These three having lunch wasn't a big deal since everybody knew that Isabel,Emma and Oliver knew eachother for years and it was Isabel who recruited them in WAZ.
Isabel chose a restaurant of a former classmate.She was also like Isabel and Gael, from a prominent family.She had always had a particular passion for cooking and had studied directly under the most important chefs and different cuisines from all over the world.What impressed Isabel more was how she was so eager to learn and perfect herself even after already settling her name and restaurant as the best.But the food wasn't the only reason Isabel chose this place.This restaurant also had strict privacy rules and security so it had been a perfect place for important people to take a breather or have important conversations.
After the food was served.Isabel dismissed the waiters.
"Now we can talk."
