Hannah had no choice but to leave. Tristan would never listen to her no matter how hard she tried. Tristan heaved a deep sigh when Hannah left. He walked over to Zhen-Zhen, engulfing her in his arms.
"Wifey, I'm sorry about that. I shouldn't have let Hannah speak ill about you. Sigh, we need to be more careful now. It looks like she learned about your ability. Tell me, how did this happen?"
Tristan was afraid that Hannah would use this incident against Zhen-Zhen. What if she would tell others about Zhen-Zhen's power. She might spread rumors that Zhen-Zhen was a witch just like what she was pointing out moments ago.
After a few seconds, Zhen-Zhen finally spoke up and told Tristan what happened.
"Hannah, Angel, and I were still inside the comfort room when the fire broke out. Hannah was able to leave first. Angel and I ended up being trapped inside the comfort room."
Zhen-Zhen paused for a moment. She had conflicting thoughts right now. She was still thinking about whether to tell Tristan or not.
Zhen-Zhen exhaled deeply. She had made up her mind. Tristan should know the truth.
"I think Hannah tried to lock the door of the CR from the outside, trapping us inside. When I opened the door, I saw a rope attached to the doorknob. The rope just broke because of the force I used to pull the door from the inside."
"What?!! Did she do that?! What was she thinking?! Don't worry wifey, I will talk to her," Tristan burst out after hearing that. He couldn't believe that Hannah tried to harm Zhen-Zhen.
'What would happen if my wife didn't have a superpower? My wife and our baby would certainly not be able to survive that fire!!
Tristan got furious thinking about that.
But Zhen-Zhen didn't approve of it. "No, hubby. Let me talk to her. I should be the one to confront her, hubby," Zhen-Zhen said firmly.
Tristan looked at her confusedly. "What are you planning to do, wifey? Your secret is not safe with Hannah. She might use this knowledge against you."
Zhen-Zhen broke the hug and just gave Tristan a reassuring smile. After that Zhen-Zhen decided to follow Hannah. She would try to talk to her.
"Where are you going, wifey?" Tristan asked her worriedly when Zhen-Zhen took her step outside their hotel room.
"I'm gonna talk to Hannah," Zhen-Zhen answered him.
"Let me come with you!" Tristan said, following her.
But Zhen-Zhen stopped Tristan. "No hubby. Just stay here. Let me handle this."
Tristan could only heave a sigh of defeat. He nodded his head and watched Zhen-Zhen walking towards Hannah's room.
'Maybe Zhen-Zhen is right. I should let the girls talk first. I'm so mad right now because of Hannah's action. It's better to calm myself first before seeing her.' Tristan thought to himself.
******
Meanwhile, Hannah cried in her room. She just poured out all her negative feelings, punching her pillows to vent out her frustrations.
She was really hurt by Tristan's harsh words. She just wished she could turn back time and make things right between Tristan and her.
"Why?! Why is it he didn't believe me? Why did he have to say those hurtful words to me? I'm just worried about him." Hannah lamented in between his cries.
"Are my words not enough for him to believe me? I am not gonna lie when it comes to his safety."
Hannah was still complaining to herself and doing self-pity when her doorbell rang. Someone came to see her.
She had no plan to see the person outside since she was not in a good mood right now. However, the doorbell continued ringing.
*Ding Dong*
*Ding Dong*
Hannah wiped her tears and stood up. She fixed herself first before opening the door.
She almost jumped in fright the moment she saw Zhen-Zhen. She was undeniably afraid of her. She even thought of running away and hiding from Zhen-Zhen if her body didn't freeze in her spot right now.
"Hannah, let's talk…" Zhen-Zhen mumbled to her, assessing Hannah's reaction. She could see the fear in Hannah's eyes so Zhen-Zhen tried her best to speak softly to her.
She didn't want to frighten her further without discussing the issue first. She needed to talk to her.
"What are you going to do to me?" Hannah asked her nervously.
"Nothing. I just came here to talk."
After contemplating for a moment, Hannah finally allowed Zhen-Zhen to enter her room. But she made sure to maintain a distance from her.
Hannah was very cautious, thinking that Zhen-Zhen might try to harm her now that she knew her secret.
"Talk now and leave! I don't want a witch like you staying in my room. Who knows you are already planning to kill me now." Hannah said angrily.
She tried her best to maintain her brave front though deep inside, she was really scared of Zhen-Zhen.
"Hannah, are you sure about what you see? You might be imagining things at that time." Zhen-Zhen tried to sway her.
Hannah laughed dryly while giving her a mocking look.
"Lillie, you can't fool me. I know what I saw. I'm not hallucinating or imagining things. I saw you with my own eyes. I might be weak at that time but my mind was still clear." Hannah spat back at her.
"Furthermore, how can you explain the strength you have? You pulled the door easily. Thinking back, I think you were the reason why your team won during the family gathering." Hannah remembered the game Tug of War.
It did not take long when Hannah gasped in realization.
'Wait, don't tell me... Tristan knew about it all along?! I remember Tristan asking me if I used my power when he thought that I was his wife.' Hannah recalled what happened when she tried to sleep with Tristan.
Hannah could hardly believe it. Tristan was aware of his wife's ability and power! Hannah's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. She was speechless for a moment.
When Hannah recovered from the daze, she started to attack Zhen-Zhen with her threats.
"Even if you control Tristan's mind right now, the evil will never win. You can deceive Tristan but not me, nor his family. I will make sure that everyone will know your true color!"
Zhen-Zhen just sighed helplessly while massaging her temples. Hannah was giving her a headache. She couldn't allow Hannah to tell others about her power.
"Hannah, don't be so stubborn. Even if you tell others about what you saw, no one will believe you. They will just think that you are crazy and insane. Do you wanna risk your reputation just because of your hatred towards me?"
Hannah was taken aback for a moment. She knew that Zhen-Zhen had a point. But she would not give up. She would try to gather evidence that would support her claims.
Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen already knew that Hannah didn't like her and there was a very low possibility that the two of them could become friends.
As long as Hannah was consumed by hatred, bitterness, and jealousy, Zhen-Zhen and Hannah would never become friends.
With that, Zhen-Zhen could not guarantee that Hannah would stay silent about her power. She would never keep Zhen-Zhen's secret unless she would find a way to keep her from revealing the truth from others.
Tristan was right. Hannah might use this against her so Zhen-Zhen should do something about it.
"Hannah, if you truly believed that the thing you saw was real then you should be grateful to me because I was the one who saved your life back there."
"If not for me then you might be dead by now because of the fire. So instead of creating trouble for me, why don't you just forget what you have seen that night and move on." Zhen-Zhen was becoming fierce as she continued talking to Hannah.
She didn't need to be kind and generous now. She had to make Hannah silent at all cost.
"No. You are not the one who saved me. My colleague said that the rescuers were the ones who saved me!" Hannah was in denial.
But deep inside, she knew she could not change the fact that Zhen-Zhen still saved her from that fire.
She just didn't want to acknowledge it. She couldn't bear to think that she was indebted to her.
Zhen-Zhen's expression had become serious because of Hannah's stubbornness.
'I guess I have no choice but to threaten her.'
"Hannah, did you forget what you have done first? You tried to kill me by trapping me inside the comfort room. Why did you do that Hannah? Aside from me, there's also another person there… that can be considered as attempted murder."
Hannah was dumbfounded after hearing that. Zhen-Zhen had just reminded her about her evil deed.
"If you will forget what you have seen then I will also forget that you tried to kill me. Tristan's family will never know about this as well."
"If they don't want a witch then I wonder if they would like someone who tried to kill innocent people just because of her greed and hatred."
