The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

A moment ago, you were full of bravado.

Why the silence now? Have you no words for me? She arched an eyebrow in query.

No, I dare not, he stuttered, his voice trembling.

What do you need to know? Ill tell you everything.

Upon hearing his readiness to talk, Hannah moderated her expression and turned to Keith and Trent.

Take him to the nearby ward, she instructed them firmly.

As Keith and Trent led Wilfred away, Hannah trailed behind them at a measured pace.

Once seated on the bed in the ward, with Keith and Trent positioned behind her, she noticed Wilfred still bound and silent, his head bowed. Earlier, you were eager to threaten my father and me.

Whats changed now? she challenged, her voice dripping with scorn.

Wilfreds reaction was immediate.

He shuddered, his head sinking lower.

I was wrong, I was wrong! Ive changed, I swear I wont do it again! Hannahs mouth twisted into a disdainful smile.

Should I trust someone like you? she mused aloud.noveldrama

Wilfred looked up, desperation clear in his eyes.

Amelie misled me! Without her influence, I would never have thought to harm my own brother.

Hannah responded with a skeptical tone.

She paused, her gaze hardening.

We were fortunate to escape this time.

What if theres a next time? Do you think Ill always be lucky enough to evade your plots? Though my father wishes to spare your life, I believe only the dead pose no threat.

Trent advanced on Wilfred, dagger in hand.

Hannah, theres no need for you to sully your hands with this task.

Allow me to handle him.

Wilfreds complexion drained of color as panic gripped him.

Please, dont do this! I swear Im telling the truth. I have a secret to reveal! Wait Hannah intervened, holding Trent back.

What secret are you hiding? This secret holds immense importance, Wilfred began, his voice faltering midway.

Fearing his release might be jeopardized after his confession, he hesitated.

Hannah narrowed her eyes.

Why withhold it? Do you not wish to share? No- No Wilfred faltered again.

All I want is to confess The Lyons family intends to kill you! Trent halted abruptly, his expression one of astonishment.

What? They aim to kill Hannah? How could that be? Keith stared at Wilfred, disbelief etched across his face.

Repeat that! Indeed- it is the truth A cold sensation touched Wilfreds neck as he completed his plea.
