"Have you seen Calum?" Maura asked the maids one by one.
"No mam" and that was their response.
"Where are you?" she sighed worriedly and went to the yard.
"Have you seen Calum?" she started asking the guards.
"No mam" was all the response.

It was past midnight and Maura was pacing back and forth in the hallway.
"Mum? What are you doing up?" Niall asked seeing his mother in the hallway.
"I could ask the same" she replied.
"Hannah had some cravings"
Maura smiled lightly.

"Are you okay?" Niall asked.
"Your uncle Calum. He's missing. He left the castle this morning, but no one has seen him since" she said feeling worried.
"oh"
"What's wrong?" Hannah asked appearing in the hallway as well.
"What are you doing here?" Niall asked her.
"Well, it took you long enough to grab a jar of pickles, so I got worried. But what's wrong? Are you okay Maura?" Hannah asked.
"Calum's missing"
"oh"

"We will look for him. Don't worry" Niall said.
"okay" Maura sighed nodding.
"Now go to sleep. Both of you" he said.
"Goodnight" Maura walked toward her room.
"I said both of you" Niall told Hannah.
"I'm still craving"
"Oh yeah sorry" he said and walked toward the kitchen.

Morning arrived and as said, Niall sent his guards to search for his uncle Calum.
Meanwhile, Hannah went to her parent's house to pay them a visit and to check on her brother Harry.

"So, a little birdie told me that you've been in your room more than usual" Hannah told Harry.
Harry smiled but it didn't reach his eyes.
"Are you okay?"
"Am I okay?" he muttered under his breath.
"Harry, what's wrong?"
"I don't know" he sighed heavily.

"What do you mean you don't know?"
"I was okay, but I don't know why suddenly I don't feel okay," he said.
"Harriet told me she heard you saying Louis' name when you were crying" she said.
"She is a snitch, isn't she?"
Hannah smiled lightly.
"Harry?"
Harry faced her.

"Is there something deep inside your heart that you've been hiding?"

He looked at her in silence.

She shrunk her eyes to adjust to the sun as she waited for the carriage to arrive. As promised, Samantha was now released from jail.

'But you will be sent to another country so you could start fresh. I just hope you won't mess up your second chance'

Was she ready though? Was she ready to say goodbye to the town where she had lived her whole life? She sighed.
"I should leave so Louis forgives me" she mumbled to herself.
"or" she stopped herself.
A carriage stopped in front of her. She looked up.
"I've been sent by Louis Tomlinson"

"LET ME GO!" Calum yelled for the millionth time. He was all tied up and blindfolded in the dungeon. "LET-" He stopped once he heard the door being opened. He heard heavy steps coming toward him.

"Who are you? Why am I here?" Calum asked once the footsteps stopped.
"Oh Calum" the mysterious man said and leaned close to his face.
"I'm your nightmare" he whispered and leaned back.
"You're the one who sent the letter" Calum said under his breath.
The man clapped.

"You can't tell him. He will be crushed" Calum said.
"And that is exactly what I want" he said and threw his cigarette on the floor.
"why?" Calum asked quietly.
The man stomped on his cigarette.
"I used to ask the same question as well Calum. I used to ask the same question as well" the man left Calum on his own.

Hannah was eating chocolate cake in her room. Niall was still sleeping since he went to bed late last night. Hannah was going through Niall's sketchbook. She was smiling while turning the pages. Each page held a different emotion. She looked at his sketch of her in a wedding dress. Her fingers grazed her face. Her smile was light, and it had tons of emotions behind it.

She went from being a normal girl living on the south side of the town and being in love with her brother's best friend to being the queen of the country. She never thought she could love someone else.

Especially the man who separated her from her first lover. Though he had no clue her heart was with someone else. But since day one, he showed her nothing but love and affection. He made sure she was hundred percent comfortable with him.

Her smile grew a bit. And now she's baring his child. Not only that but also, she's in love with him. Hannah was in love with Niall and when he sang his song for her, her love only grew more toward him.

"You're awake already?" Niall said while rubbing his eyes.
"Yeah" she said and closed the sketchbook.
He slid off the bed and walked toward her. He suddenly chuckled.
"What?" she asked looking at him confusingly.
"You've got something here" he said wiping the chocolate from the corner of her mouth and gave her a quick peck.

"Happy one-year anniversary" he said grinning.
"Happy one-year anniversary" she said smiling softly.
"I love you" he beamed.
"I love you too" she said back.
And he enjoyed it. He enjoyed hearing her say those three words back. He leaned forward and kissed her passionately.

Once he washed up and changed his clothes he sat next to Hannah.
"This is for you" he said giving her a rectangular shape box.
"Niall" she said not expecting him to give him a second gift.
"You didn't have to. This was more than enough" she said referring to the sketchbook.
"I wanted to" he said smiling and kissed her shortly.
She opened the box. It was a diamond bracelet.
"It's really beautiful" she said smiling softly.
"Thank you" she said looking at him and kissed him.

He took out the bracelet and placed it around her wrist. He then brought her wrist to his mouth and kissed it gently. She looked at him smiling lightly.
"Thank you" she whispered again.
"You are most welcome" he whispered and kissed her again.

She then stood up and walked toward the closet.
"It's your turn" she said and gave him a box as well.
"You got me a present?" he asked feeling surprised.
"Of course. Now I didn't know you would get me a second gift, so I only bought you one"
"More than enough" he said chuckling lightly and hugged her.

It was pocket watch with his initials carved on it. His eyes lit up.
"This is beautiful. I love it. And I love you" he said.
She smiled brightly knowing he really loved her gift.
"But when did you get it?"
"You're not the only one who can buy a gift in secret" she said.
He chuckled and kissed her temple.
"Thank you" he said.

"The baby kicked" she said suddenly.
"I guess the baby's congratulating us as well" he said causing her to laugh.
"Are you?" she asked looking at her baby bump.
"Are you congratulating your mommy and daddy?" she asked.
He looked at her with adoration in his eyes. He could never love anyone as much he loved Hannah.
