Chapter: The Man Who Raised You Hazel got to the bedroom and found Coyle busy on a call, and she hurried and stood before him, sensing the urgency of the matter. Coyle hung up the call and raised a brow.“Have you seen the news? Uncle Arthur has been arrested.” Hazel said in disbelief and Coyle just stared at her with an unmoved reaction. She furrowed her brow before a chuckle escaped her lips; she now understood his words yesterday.“You did this?” she asked, and Coyle nodded; there was no way he was going to spare a man who killed his parents. Absolutely no way.“But I had no idea. What’s going on Coyle?” Hazel questioned, but Coyle smiled at her; he was happy, though not satisfied.He wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her closer. “Don’t bother about such things; I already told you that you are not part of their family and life,” he muttered, and Hazel shook her head in denial.“They are your family, and some matters need to be discussed in between the members of the family first before you know… and I

Chapter: I Am Your Opponent Kev stared at Mia in disbelief. “What did you say?” Kev felt like she heard wrong.“I am going to transfer 10 million to you now and the remaining 10 million after you cancel the wedding and leave the country,” Mia explained, and Kev thought for a while.She walked back to Mia and folded her arms below her bosom. “Are you going to pay me 20 million to leave Jude?” Kev inquired again, and Mia nodded.“Then he must be really worth it. What makes you think I will leave my fiancé for money?” Kev chuckled.“Because you are with him for money,” Mia answered. She was losing her cool because Kev just rejected her offer. She knew well that Kev would accept at once because she loved money, but that wasn't the case.“You are pretty and have a lot of money; go find yourself a man and do not come for mine.” Kev snorted and turned to leave.Mia thought of Hazel’s words, so she quickly blurted it out, “Selene will be so disappointed to know you rejected this offer.”“You don’t know anything about Se

Chapter: 20 Million Hazel took the seat far from Nady and Max when her dad stood up. “I have an important conversation with Mr. Anderson; you guys should start without us.”Hazel didn’t pay attention to his words and dug in at once before Nady said, “Why aren’t you happy about my pregnancy?”Hazel clenched her fist and didn’t answer, “Why do they think I have a problem with her pregnancy?” Hazel wondered, what reaction did she give out that made them think this way?“Of course she is happy,” Max butted in. “Hazel is a gentle soul and can’t be sad about such a thing; we should be ashamed announcing such news to her after what we did to her,” Max added.“What did we do to her?” Nady frowned at Max.“We betrayed her and her trust; don’t you feel any remorse for what you did to your sister?” Max asked in disbelief, and Nady concentrated her gaze on her meal; she felt she didn’t do anything wrong.All she did was fight for her happiness; it was just that her happiness was at the expense of Hazel’s.“Okay, eno

Chapter: No Right At AllHazel was busy on her phone while waiting for Coyle to freshen up when she heard a car drive in.Hazel walked to the entrance and was a little surprised to find Mia. “Hello,” Mia waved at Hazel.“So you really are married to Coyle Anderson?” Mia questioned in amazement; it was still hard for her to believe it.Mia scanned the place before approaching Hazel. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”“I am still wondering how you got past security to come here,” Hazel chuckled.“Well, I have my ways. Anyways, we have more important matters to talk about, like how I can get my man.“I came up with a plan for tonight, but we can’t discuss it because I am heading out with Coyle, so how about tomorrow morning?” Hazel asked, but Mia shook her head in denial.The wedding was in a few hours, and she had no time to waste. “Why can’t you tell me the plan right now?”“Because it’s long and complex, and I have no time…”“Baby,” Coyle called as he walked downstairs; he heard some voices from the door.“I w

Chapter: He Will Do As I SayHazel still had a questioning look before she approached Selene. “I am sorry about your situation, but don’t you think you should have rushed to the station or maybe the hospital first?” Hazel questioned, and Selene’s brows furrowed.She crouched and held her son. “My son was scared; will the police calm him?” Selene fired back, and Hazel rolled her eyes.“I don’t see your son crying or shivering; maybe he just isn't a good actor like you yet…” Hazel scolded before Coyle chimed in.“Stop,” he frowned at Hazel and Selene, who were about to get into a heated argument.“Hazel, it’s my problem, and I will take care of it. How about you go back inside?” Coyle asked, and Hazel clenched her fist. It his problem? Unbelievable.“Of course,” Hazel chuckled and walked back inside; she got dressed and picked her purse before coming downstairs.She found Selene walking out of the kitchen with a glass of water, which she handed to Sven. Hazel’s nails dug into her palms when Selene winked at her.“S

Chapter: Restaurant Location It was Sunday at 5am when Hazel went downstairs and busied herself trying to craft out some advertising methods they could use to promote their still-to-be-launched restaurant.She sipped her coffee and tried to focus, but damn, “Stop thinking about unnecessary things and focus,” Hazel scolded herself.“What are you doing?” Coyle asked from the stairs; he approached her and sat on the couch next to her… on the table where scattered documents about restaurant locations, and she was busy with her laptop.“Trying to work,” Hazel replied, and he chuckled. He had stopped her from working because he didn’t want his woman to stress her little body, but here she was.“It’s Sunday,” he reminded her. He doesn't go to work on a Sunday, so he could spend time with her, so why was she working?“And?” Hazel asked, her gaze still glued to her laptop.“Can we do something else?”Her gaze finally shifted from her laptop screen to him. “Well, Mr. Anderson, I am busy.”Coyle pouted; he was never busy fo

Chapter: For 29 Days Lena followed Nero, and they arrived at a stable; there was a horse inside. He was Black and looked dangerous, so Lena had to take a step backwards.Nero pulled the door open and stood closer to the horse. “How have you been?” he asked, and the horse moved its gaze to Lena, who took another step backwards.“Don’t bother about her; she is scared,” Nero said, trying to tease Lena.“She judges a lot and must have judged you as well. Maybe she thinks you are dangerous because of how strict you look,” Nero added, and Lena shook her head in denial.“No, I didn’t judge him…or her.” Lena chimed in, gathered her courage, and took a step forward.“It’s just…just that I have never been this close to a horse or any other animal,” Lena explained, and Nero extended his hand towards her; she stared at it for a while before accepting it and walked closer.He wrapped his hand around her waist, and she flinched a little; she was both scared and nervous.“This is my horse, Nil,” Nero introduced, and Len

Chapter: My Favorite PlaceDante took the old woman back to the mansion so she could be taken care of by the health personnel.And Nero had been sitting on the bench next to the pool just watching the water; he was in deep thought before Lena walked to the pool.She held a first aid kit, which she had gone through a lot of effort before she found one. “Uhm…” Lena pointed at Nero’s hand.The blood had stuck to his hand, and his injury was left open; it’s as if he didn’t feel any pain and even forgot he was injured.Nero didn’t reply; his gaze was stuck on Lena’s face… Unlike his mother, he couldn’t see Lena as Linda; he felt they looked very different even in looks.Lena was real; she was love, but Linda was the monster who had ruined his mother.Ignoring his silence and danger, Lena approached Nero and crouched before holding his hand, but he still didn’t flinch.She began cleaning the injury while shivering because she couldn’t imagine such an injury on her, but to her surprise…Nero didn't even flinch for once

Chapter: Grandma...Am I Dying?Mrs. Nera had a smile on her face when she tasted the food; it tasted so good. “Nero,” she called, and Nero’s gaze moved to her.“The lady who made the meal, is she your girlfriend?” She asked, and Nero nodded; Lena was his, and that was final.“That’s good. I am happy you found yourself a girlfriend who can take care of you…But don’t always argue with her, okay?” “And why didn’t you bring her to the mansion to introduce her to me?” She pouted, and Nero just stayed quiet; he hardly exchanged words with his mum because he knew anything he told her now, she would forget it in the next hours… All she remembered was his face, so it was okay.Lena walked to the table angrily, her gaze focused on Nero. “Where is Dona?” she asked. Was he trying to win her over by killing people?“Where is the plate?” Nero asked instead; she had left to get an extra plate.“When will all the killing stop? How do you even sleep at night?” She scolded, and he clenched his fist.“Sit down,” Nero muttered; he ha

Chapter: Her Boundaries It was 8am,, and Lena was all freshened up; she had woken up a little later than usual because she was hoping not to find Nero around. After the deal they made last night, she was counting every second.“Good morning,, Miss Lena,,” a maid greeted,, and Lena simply nodded; she took some steps forward before she stopped; the voice didn’t belong to Dona.Lena stared at the maid, and her eyes lit up; it was the maid from America, which she had pleaded with Nero to bring the girl along.“You…” Lena called excitedly, and the girl stood there shyly; she never expected Lena to be so excited just seeing her.“How are you doing?” Lena asked.“I am fine,, Miss Lena,,” she replied,, and Lena scanned the place.“Will you be the new maid?” The maid nodded, and Nero cleared his throat. He walked out of the wine bar with a glass half filled with wine and also had a cigarette stick in his mouth.“Uhm… I will quickly clean your bedroom.” The maid excused herself and fled immediately after she spotted

Chapter: Deal Then?Nero’s gaze met with his mum's, who still couldn’t understand what was going on; he sighed heavily and was quick to take a step backwards when Lena raised her hand to hit his chest.“I know I am a monster, but won’t it do you good to try and hurt me instead?” He asked, and Lena sniffed her tears, which she didn’t realise had started flowing.“I am a man who doesn’t lie; if I said I didn’t kill someone, then I didn’t,” he blurted, and Lena chuckled.She had no idea the devil doesn’t lie.“Then my parents?” Lena questioned, and Nero held her hand and pulled her closer.“I killed your parents, and you tried to do the same to me.” He wasn’t scared to admit what he did; he couldn’t have quenched his anger if he didn’t do that.“Yes, I want you to feel the same pain I did when you asked your men to push my parents off the balcony.” Lena’s voice broke; she clutched her chest tightly. “I had begged; I went on my knees and begged, ‘Spare at least my mum… I had cried, but no one listened to me

Chapter: Big Mistake, Baby Girl Lena took a few steps close to the lady, so the lady could have a proper look at her. “Do you remember me now ?” Lena inquired, but the old woman's brows drew together. “I am sorry, dear, but I don’t. Are you the new maid?” Lena clenched her fist angrily. How could this woman not remember her? Was she ashamed of her son’s act and what her son did? Is that why she was feigning not to know her? “Excuse me,” a lady’s voice echoed from behind them, and Lena turned to find the nurse who had injected the old lady the last time she was here. “The lady can’t remember you. Aren’t you aware she has amnesia?” The nurse asked, and Lena shook her head in denial; she had no idea. Now that she thought about it, a chuckle escaped her lip. “I understand why he just sat there and let me vent out my frustrations to his mum,” Lena thought. She clenched her fist and walked towards the old lady. “Hello, ma’am, don’t you remember me?” Lena crouched to the lady’s level. Mrs. Nera rubbed Lena’s cheeks,
