All Hans wanted to do after his long day at work was go home, maybe pop open a bottle, and destress. He didnât want to think about the stress of his engagement, despite knowing Anna was at the house right now. He had no issue putting on his happy face and pretending his life away, but it had grown exhausting. Hans knew Anna was likely either cozied up and enjoying some form of media or baking up a storm in the kitchen. When he arrived home he didnât smell the sickeningly sweet scent of chocolate so he headed to the other room and there was still no sign of her. Then he heard it. The sound of a faint sob and Jimâs name rolling off of her tongue coming from up the stairs. Hans smirked to himself as he glanced up the steps.Â
After making his way upstairs he was sure to have a devastated look on his face. There she was, in his bed, crying over another man. A man that Hans had barely even heard of. Hans wasnât a stupid man. He knew, despite how much of a puddle Anna was at his touch, she would never truly be his. He didnât love her, nor would he ever. After Hans had uttered the words he listened to Annaâs rambling and sobs. He sat on the edge of the bed beside her and with a sad expression he muttered out an, âoh, Anna.â He leaned closer to her and placed a gentle hand on her face, his lips curving up slightly into a sad smile. âIf only there were someone out there who loved you.â His expression shifted, something sinister replacing the âheartbreakâ in his eyes. He stood from the bed and let out a bitter laugh. âDid you think from the start our engagement was traditional? I never even got your sisterâs blessing. Did you really think we were ever going to get married?â
Hans turned around to face Anna. It was clear as day he wouldnât bat an eye over this or lose any sleep. âElsa was always so unobtainable, but you. You were so naĂŻve you thought not only I loved you, but another as well. This is betrayal at itâs best. What is the world going to do to you the moment it finds out youâve broken my heart and Iâm left inconsolable by your actions. So, you kissed another? As far as Iâm concerned thatâs means for the end of this engagement.â Hans wasnât fulfilled though. He feared though his plans hadnât unfolded like heâd intended he knew he could move onto better things. âBesides, whatâs the young Arendelle girl ever going to do for a man like me? You and your sister are doing nothing but dragging your parentsâ names through the dirt. They left you both a legacy and you guys have doneâŠwhat exactly? At first this was perfect. We could have gotten married and I could have given you the life you always dreamed of. No, you fucked that up at the perfect time though. I realized that your time in my life would only be temporary. Youâll never be the person I achieve my goals with. Youâre not good enough for that. Youâre not good enough for me.âÂ
There was something maniacal about the way he said things and the look in his eyes. It shouldnât have been so easy for someone who was so âmadly in loveâ to be able to look their fiancĂ©eâ ex-fiancĂ©e in the eye and tell them they never loved them. For Hans it was simply just another day. He had no issue crushing her spirits after all this time. He knew heâd gain enough from this experience as is. He would paint her as the villain and himself as the kind, but heartbroken, young man who could have given Anna so much opportunity. He could play this off just fine. He knew everything would work out fine. Besides, who would ever believe her over him? âI have never loved you and I never will. Do you really think someone like me could ever love you? Youâre far more foolish than I thought, Anna.âÂ
Anna held her breath, her eyes focused on a spot on the floor that seemed to whole her whole world. Last thing she ever wanted to do was hurt Hans, the way her heart was hurting. No one should feel this betrayed by someone they loved. Hearing her name fall from his lips just brought in another wave of sadness that seemed to take her to the bottom of the sea. How could she do this to him? How could she become this awful of a person. Though as she felt his warmth come closer, her heart quickened. Finding his eyes she frowned slightly as she watched something snap within him. Anna had spent a great deal of time looking into those eyes, but these were of a stranger. And his words were nothing but a ton of bricks that completely shattered what was left of her heart. A small gasp let her lips before it felt like all the air in her lungs slipped out. Anna watched him with horror as he completely flipped a switch that mustâve been hidden deep within him.Â
âI... what? I understand behind hurt, Hans. but youâre taking this way to far, and donât you dare start speaking a word about Elsa like you know a damn thing about her.â Sure Anna wasnât... close enough with Elsa to know what exactly she was doing. âAnd as for speaking of my family anything, shut up. Be hurt, but keep them out of your mouth. This is about us.. or.. what was.... Youâre sick.â She spat out standing up as she felt her whole body tremble. Within a span of five minutes Anna felt as though she had felt every emotion and she was too blown away by what was in front of her to even put the piece together. âIf this is your true self, I would never want a second of your love. Youâre h-heartless.â She sobbed out. One thing that stood out the most though that felt like a knife in her chest was... who really could ever love Anna.. Hans was right, it clearly wasnât Jim. Anna was ready to bolt out of here weeks ago, and all it took was to tell him how she felt, and Jim.. was gone. âI.. I did think so, Hans. I did, but Iâm glad you donât. What kind of man would be so cruel to someone. And youâre wrong. Someone will love me. I just have a bad habit for falling for those who are completely heartless, cruel, garden snakes of the world.â Shaking her heart she found herself pacing trying to just understanding what the hell was going on. âThis .. this was all just a political move for you? Because if this is how you play, you certainly wonât be making it far. The assholes are normally weeded out and seen for their true selves eventually.â Anna knew nothing coming out of her mouth was even close to insulting him the way he completely tore her to a million pieces but she wouldnât back down. she wouldnât let him enjoy this moment if itâs what heâs been waiting for.Â
