The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Hannah felt a warmth in her heart.

She stepped closer, knelt down in front of Byrum, and took his hand in hers.

Grandpa, Im fine.

Im staying for good this time.

The living room radiated with the warmth of a family reunion.

They sat together, enjoying their lively conversation.

Suddenly, Jalen chimed in, I heard things are going well between you and Bryson? Hannah was momentarily surprised but then smiled and nodded.

I came back to tell you that Bryson and I got our marriage certificate.

Edwin exclaimed dramatically, What? That was quick?! The living room buzzed with excitement, everyone talking over one another Even Jalen, usually so composed, couldnt contain his smile.

You two have faced so much together.

Its about time you settled down! Hannah felt the warmth of her familys joy and blessings enveloping her heart. Yet, as she recalled the unsettling events from the previous night, a sense of unease began to creep in.

Actually, theres something else I need to talk to you all about, she said.

Byrum noticed the seriousness in her expression and wiped the smile from his face.

Go ahead, dear.

Whats on your mind? Hannah explained her recent encounter with Omar and the escalating crisis between the Mitchell and Morrison families, emphasizing the potential impact of the Phoenix Plan on the entire market.

The atmosphere in the living room shifted to a serious tone.

Jalen frowned.

The:Morrison family is truly ruthless! Hannah, even though the White family isnt involved in the energy industry, we may still be able to help in other ways.

What do you need us to do? Edwin asked eagerly.

Byrum considered thoughtfully, his gaze steady.

We mustnt act hastily.

Trust me, my dear; everything will be alright.

Hannah blinked back tears and nodded earnestly.

Thank you, Grandpa.

I dont think it will be a major crisis, but I wanted to keep you informed, just in case something unexpected comes up.

Just as the family was deep in discussion, Hannahs phone rang, and Brysons name flashed on the screen.

She answered quickly, her voice tense.

Bryson, whats going on? On the other end, Brysons voice was weighed down with concern.

Hannah, theres been an unexpected situation.

Our original partner just backed out, and it caught us completely off guard.

Hannahs expression grew tense. Can you give me a detailed update? Is there anything you need me to do? Its still unclear what the other partys intentions are, but I suspect it may be connected to Omars recent actions.

Ill take care of things on my end and keep you updated, Bryson quickly added.

A flicker of unease crossed Hannahs heart, but she responded with resolve, Alright, just take care of yourself.

Ill keep an eye on things here.

After hanging up, Byrum felt a wave of concern about the predicament Bryson was in.

However, Hannah appeared less worried.

Hes faced tough situations before.

This wont be enough to bring him down.noveldrama

What Im really concerned about is the situation with Peterson overseas.

Omar doesnt pose much of a threat by himself, but if Peterson gains control over him and extends his influence from abroad to here, it could create serious problems.
