Mark couldn't believe Bradley's nerve showing up here.

"You need to turn around and go back the way ya come." Mark said angrily.

"I want to see Hannah, now." Bradley said not backing down.

"Don't ya think ya done enough to Hannah? Leave her alone." Mark snapped.

"What did I do, provided her with a good home and a stable environment, for that I'm being made into the villain?" Bradley said.

"Mark let him in."

Mark turned and seen Hannah had come up behind him.

"Hannah ya don't have to see him." Mark said.

Hannah placed her hand on Mark's arm and smiled at him.

"It's fine really." Hannah said.

Mark looked at her and nodded. He turned and let Bradley in the door.

Hannah looked at Bradley.
"Let's talk in the den." She said.

Bradley followed her and Mark started to also.

"Mark." Hannah said turning to him.

"What baby?" Mark said.

"I need to do this alone." Hannah said.

Mark started to protest but then he stopped. She was right she had to handle this in her on way.

Mark turned to look at Bradley.

"Ya best watch yer step." He growled and walked off to the kitchen.

Hannah walked on into the den and Bradley followed her in and Hannah shut the door.

She waited for Bradley to have a seat on the couch and then took a seat across from him on a chair.

"What do you want?" Hannah asked him.

"I want to know why everyone hates me and blames me." Bradley said.

"I don't hate you, I do blame you, you lied, you stole me from my father, you separated my mother and father and then to top it off you treated me my whole life like I was something you stuck with, like I want good enough to be in your family." Hannah said.

"That's not true, I did what I thought was best, Joey was in no position to raise a child, look how he lives." Bradley said.

"You had to right to make that decision, you kept me from my father, not because it was best for me, but because you're a snob and because you're an asshole." Hannah said calmly.

Bradley jumped up.

"Don't talk to me like that." Bradley said angrily.

"It's the truth, truth hurts doesn't it." Hannah said

"Listen you can think what you want, but it was for the best." Bradley snapped.

Hannah stood up, this is going nowhere, and I don't care to see you again." Hannah said.

Bradley glared at her.

"If that's the way you want it Hannah, fine." Bradley said.

'How is mother?" Hannah asked. She did care about Ruth and at least Ruth had come clean.

"I wouldn't know, she left me. She's staying in town at the hotel." Bradley said.

Bradley walked to the door. Then he turned back and looked at Hannah.

"I hope one day you understand what I did." Bradley said and he walked out the door.

Hannah stood there for a moment. She would go by the hotel tomorrow and see Ruth. She needed to see her. Hannah sighed and sat for a moment. Just seeing Bradley brought all of these emotions up, they were running amok through her body. Why couldn't Bradley just admit he was wrong, he could never do that, after all he was Bradley Newkirk, he could never be wrong.

The phone rang and Hannah picked it up.

"Hello."

"Hey Mrs. Callaway." Trelassy said.

"Hey Trelassy." Hannah said smiling.

"So what's it like being married?" Trelassy asked laughing.

"Its wonderful. I love him so much." Hannah said.

"See I told ya the book would work." Trelassy said

"Yes you did, and I guess you was right." Hannah said laughing.

"Hannah I heard about what went down with your parents, I'm sorry." Trelassy said. .

"I'll be okay." Hannah said.

"I know you will girl, so are you happy about Joey being your dad?" Trelassy asked.

"Yes of course. It's a shock, but I already was close to Joey, I do regret I missed all those years with him but now that we know, we'll make up for all that time." Hannah said.

"I'm glad for you Hannah, I don't know what in the hell Uncle Bradley was thinking?" Trelassy said.

"He was thinking that Joey wasn't good enough to raise a Newkirk, that's what." Hannah said.

"I suppose your right." Trelassy said.

"Listen, how about we meet for lunch in a couple of days." Trelassy said.

"Okay that would be great." Hannah said.

"All right, Ill call you." Trelassy said.

Hannah got off the phone and headed to the kitchen.

Mark was putting there food on plates and he looked up at her and smiled.

Hannah's heart skipped a beat. God he was so devastatingly handsome. She felt as if a jolt of electricity was shot through her.

She wanted Mark and she wanted him now. She didn't want to wait a second longer. She walked over and put her arms around his waist and pulled his shirt out of his pants.

"What are ya doing girl?" Mark asked raising a brow at her.

"I want you." Hannah said simply staring up at him.

Mark swallowed hard.

What in the world had gotten into Hannah he wondered? Whatever the hell it was he liked it.
