Chapter 6 - THE HIDDEN YEARS
Hannah took a slow, painful breath, her eyes brimming with fresh tears as she looked at Nathan.
"Vanessa found out I was pregnant right after you went abroad for your overseas corporate takeover," Hannah confessed.
"She threatened to have my family ruined and promised to harm the baby if I ever contacted you," she added softly.
Nathan felt a sickening wave of guilt wash over his broad chest as the terrible truth settled in.
"So you took a job as a housemaid just to stay near me and keep Maya safe?" Nathan asked quietly.
"I had no choice, Nathan... I just wanted my daughter to grow up near her father, even from afar," Hannah wept.
Nathan reached out, taking Hannah’s hand in his warm grip, his eyes filled with absolute determination.
"The hiding ends today, Hannah," Nathan declared firmly. "You and Maya are coming home to live as Sterlings."
Outside the hospital room door, two federal agents stood guard, ensuring no one could approach the family.
