Cost Of Her Happiness

"Here, I hope it will be enough for bills." Ethan took out all the money and passed three small bags filled with gold coins.

"If not, you can use this seal as a promise that you will pay the rest soon." Ethan was worried that Hannah would be held hostage by the men who had given her loan.
