Chapter 51: Thane’s Wish: Granted

Chapter 51: Thane’s Wish: Granted

Brooke stayed awake the whole night waiting on Thane to return. After he made his wish known he dashed out of the house with Gilbert and hadn’t been back ever since.

"Miss Brooke, you’re going to start shooting lasers out of your eyes any second now." Hannah remarked from behind Brooke.

Brooke relaxed her shoulders, "I’m just worried, Mr Grayson has been acting a bit strange."

Hannah sighed, "Don’t worry, the young master knows what he’s doing...most of the time." She shrugged her shoulders, she still hadn’t wrapped her head around why a recuperating man was back in the country and out on the streets.

But then, looking at Brooke, she felt the two were nicely suited for each other.

"Miss Brooke, I admire you a lot y’know. Even after what happened at the audition, you’re still so strong. It’s admirable." Hannah blurted out her thoughts.

"I can’t cause trouble and still wallow in my own self pity." She cracked a nervous grin.

"You’re not causing anyone trouble. In fact, you should be taking action against those women and having them rot in jail!" She announced in a firm voice.

"Y-You don’t think it’s my fault?" Brooke was stunned, she had always grown up thinking that everything was her fault, so it was new to hear someone else take her side.

"Your fault? Anyone with working eyes can see that those girls were at fault! I’ve been online the whole morning, leaving nasty comments on all their posts. And even when they reported my account, I just made new ones." She boasted with a sly grin.

Brooke smiled at the thought of Hannah furiously typing away on a computer, "Thank you, Hannah, it means a lot to me." Brooke said, smiling widely.

Her smile made Hannah blush, she averted her eyes, "Oh come on Miss Brooke, that’s nothing. I’d say you’re not doing enough to defend yourself against them." She scratched the back of her neck.

"Especially that Cassie, I f*cking hate that woman! What panel came together and gave her an award? A wild monkey could act better than her." Hannah groaned, striking an interesting train of thought in Brooke’s mind.

’Just how did Cassie win actress of the year?’ Brooke wondered, narrowing her gaze.

"Miss Brooke! Look! They’ve arrived!" Hannah announced, pointing excitedly at the front door.

Brooke blinked twice and pushed her hair back, her body trembled when she recalled Thane’s wish.

Would he really ask that of her?

Would he be okay with it?

Her heart raced as Thane marched into the mansion, his sleeves rolled up and his coat hung loosely on his shoulder.

"Welcome master Grayson." Hannah greeted with her hands in front of her.

Thane settled his gaze on Brooke, locking eyes with her. She averted her eyes, and twisted fingertips around her hair, her cheeks flushed bright pink.

"I’ll take her back with me, you can retire early Hannah." Thane announced.

The maid was stunned to see her boss taking the initiative, "Yes sir!" She announced with a broad grin.

He turned to his assistant, "You also have the night off, so spend it as you like."

"S-Sir?" Gilbert stuttered, as he watched his boss wheel Brooke away from the entrance and towards the front door.

"Hey Gilbert tell me! What the hell happened to the young master?!" Hannah demanded, as soon as Brooke and Thane got into the elevator.

Gilbert tipped his glasses up the bridge of his nose, "I’m equally as stunned as you are. Who knew master Thane had it in him?"

Hannah leaned in close and whispered, "Do you think those two will...seal the deal tonight?"

Her lewd suggestion made Gilbert’s ears turn bright pink. "Don’t talk rubbish!"

"Rubbish? What rubbish? Master Grayson instructed me before leaving to thoroughly clean his room. And you think I’m talking rubbish?" She grinned from ear to ear, "No wonder Miss Brooke was so eager for the young master’s return."

Gilbert huffed, "You have too much free time on your hands. Weren’t you supposed to be cracking into that phone the young master gave you?"

Hannah sneered, "An old man like you can’t understand the problems of young people."

"And who are you calling old?" Gilbert frowned.

"Did I strike a nerve?" She teased, crossing her hands behind her head.

Gilbert scoffed, "I have the evening off, and I won’t be spending it on idle chatter with you." He announced, then turned to leave.

Hannah rolled her eyes, as he walked away, "Such a grumpy old man." She sighed.

"But he’s right, I have to finish getting into that phone." She reminded herself, then dashed for her bedroom to continue her real job.

Meanwhile upstairs, Brooke was sweating buckets when Thane wheeled past her bedroom.

"Um, you past my room." She nervously pointed out.

Thane grinned, "Is that so?" And continued wheeling her up until they arrived at the front door of his bedroom.

Brooke nervously gulped, "Why are we here?" Her heart raced at the conversation they had prior to this.

To Thane’s wish.

Thane opened the door first and looked inside, inspecting if Hannah had cleaned out all the medicines like he had asked her to.

Content, he looked over his shoulder at Brooke and said, "I’m cashing in my wish."

Brooke blinked twice, "Y-You mean Ethan..." She gasped and covered her mouth, reeling in the feeling of relief and disbelief.

Thane smiled warmly, "The lawyers will finalize everything. But yes Brooke, he finally signed off on the divorce papers."

Brooke placed her hand to her chest, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off her chest.

"Thank you-"

"Now, don’t you think it’s time I cashed in my reward?" He cut off her celebration, and set Brooke’s heart racing with anxiety and oddly... anticipation?

When Thane had made his wish to her, a part of her scoffed, certain that he was too proper a man to follow through on that wish.

But how wrong had she been.

Reminding her of the wish, Thane receited it in a tender tone. "If I’m able to get Halton to divorce you, as a reward you’ll move into my room."
