Chapter: It's Just A RingHazel ended the call with her mum and had found the perfect pair of earrings. She picked up her purse and approached the seller and shoved the earrings to her.“Please add this with the ring.”The lady nodded and asked for Hazel’s card, which she handed, and it was swiped.“Thanks,” Hazel smiled at the lady before she turned to leave the shop with Tasha, but an alarm signalled.The security guards quickly rushed towards them, but this left them surprised.“Why did the alarm set on? We paid for the jewellery,” Tasha asked in a confused tone before the seller lady walked towards them.“Hum, it must be a false alarm. Can you please hand the jewellery to me and try to walk out again?” she asked in a respectful tone, as the ladies had just bought two expensive pieces of jewellery, and they couldn’t be thieves.Hazel handed the jewellery back to the lady and tried stepping out of the shop, and it signaled an alarm again.“What’s happening?” Hazel asked, confused.“I am sorry, ma’am, but can

Chapter: Fake LifeHazel couldn’t get over the excitement of getting a new car; she kept staring at the car with a smile on her face. She was finally brought out of her trance by a call from Coyle; he had left for work two hours ago. Why was he suddenly calling? She thought before the call got connected.“Hello?”“I will pick you up tonight; let’s have dinner,” he said, and Hazel had a bright smile on her face.“Okay,” she answered, and he said a few things before the call disconnected.Hazel sent a message to Tasha asking if they could go shopping as she wanted to get a ring for Coyle, and Tasha agreed at once; after all, she didn't want to be stuck at home.Minutes later, Tasha showed up at the Anderson’s mansion, and as she walked down to her car, her gaze was focused on the new car at the entrance.“Hey.” Hazel approached her so they could leave, but Tasha pointed at the car.“Did Coyle get a new car?”A smile crept on Hazel’s lips, and Tasha got to understand what was going on just from her smile.

Chapter: You Are The PresidentDamon said this while ignoring Coyle’s threatening gaze; he thought, “If he thinks sending me to jail will make me fear him, then he should think again.”“I will leave now.” Hazel waved at Muna and Dora before she got her purse upstairs and left the mansion with Coyle. He sat next to her, busy on his phone, while she focused on the city view during the drive.Soon, the car parked in front of the Anderson mansion, and they both walked down the car, and Hazel was about to walk in when she noticed a brand new Mercedes Benz GLE by the side and got curious.“Did someone come?” Hazel thought they must have visitors and was even more curious to get to the sitting room to see who it was.On arrival, she couldn't find anyone. “No one?”“Coyle,” Hazel called; only then did she realise he was behind her and had a car key extended towards her.“If you don’t like the colour or mark, then I will get it changed,” Coyle explained, and Hazel’s eyes widened in shock.“What?” she muttered in disbelief,

Chapter: Don't PrioritizeHazel had an embarrassed look before she shook her head in denial. “What are you apologising for?” she muttered.“I thought Coyle left. I wanted to talk to you before you went to bed, but we can talk tomorrow,” Muna explained and turned to leave when Hazel quickly stopped her.“We could talk now,” Hazel suggested, and Coyle frowned at her before he stood up and walked to the door. He wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her closer to him.“We were having an important conversation,” he reminded her with a teasing look, and she slipped away from him and hurried out of the bedroom.“I will talk with Grandma first,” she chuckled and walked forward before turning to face Muna. “Won’t you come?”Muna sighed heavily before she followed Hazel; they went to Muna’s bedroom, and she closed the door. Hazel noticed there were a lot of pieces of jewellery on the bed, expensive ones, and she had a bright smile.“Grandma, do you want me to help you choose what jewellery will suit you?” Hazel

Chapter: So HeartlessThe family was finally done with dinner, and Coyle stood up with his gaze on Hazel. “Grandma, we will leave now,” he said, and Muna shook her head in denial, she didn't want Hazel to leave, especially not tonight.“Hazel isn't too well; how about you let her return tomorrow?” She suggested, and Coyle frowned. Why will he return without his wife? Especially when he had already released Damon from jail, will he give him the chance to come close to his wife?“I also want to spend the night,” Hazel chimed in, and Coyle frowned at her, but she ignored his look and turned her attention to Sam.“Are you also spending the night here, Aunt?”“No, I need to leave.” Sam stood on her feet and pecked her mum’s cheeks before she patted Hazel’s shoulder.“You will feel better by tomorrow morning. Good night.” She waved at the family and left.Audrey quickly left for her bedroom after having dinner, and Muna knew the couple needed some time alone, so she stood up.“Let’s go to bed; it’s late,” Muna s

Chapter: I Will Be “Go after her.” Dante scolded, but they didn't move; their job was to protect the pope and always follow him. Going after the lady will mean leaving the pope without protection.“Get going,” Dante roared at them before they quickly got in and drove after the car, which was already out of sight.Lena drove at full speed; she couldn’t afford to be caught.“I will go to the police; that’s the safest place,” Lena muttered with trembling lips. She kept driving while scanning around the place, trying to locate the police station.“Where the fuck is it?”She kept navigating the car map and finally spotted a police station.Lena parked the car in front of the station and ran in when some policemen held her “Hey.” “Help me, help me, please. I am in danger.” Lena pleaded, and some policemen hurried out to check out the place.“What happened, miss?” the head of the police, Otto, asked.

Chapter: He Doesn’t Own MeIt’s been more than five minutes since he gave her the order, and she just stood there like a statue. He massaged his forehead and only took his gaze off her when his phone rang.Nero connected the call, and it was one of his men. “Hmm, I am coming,” he answered and stood up, approached Lena, and stood before her.He placed his finger on her chin and traced it down to her chest; Lena’s grip on her dress tightened, and she closed her eyes tightly. She knew there was nothing she could do against him but let him do whatever he wished.“I will be back.” Nero muttered before he walked past her, and she sighed heavily.After he left, Lena took this as an opportunity and quickly dressed up. “Such a monster,” she snorted and scanned the bedroom, wondering how she could escape from him.“I won’t let him lock me up and try to own me,” Lena promised herself before the door pushed open and Nero walked in; seeing her already dressed made him chuckle.“Come on, baby, let’s go,” he stated and signal

Chapter: StripLena rolled on the bed and clutched her stomach tightly. It’s been two days and she has been stuck in this bedroom with no food or water; she had to drink water from the toilet and stare out of the window the entire time.“He is a monster.” She couldn't believe he did this to her just because she refused to go out with him, to her surprise or rather excitement. She could hear the sound of keys clicking at the door before it was pushed open.“You have five minutes,” a guard said, and Lena’s gaze moved to the door. She was shocked to find her sister Linda."Linda,” Lena called, her voice just above a whisper.Linda placed the tray of food she was carrying on the bedside table before she sat next to Lena, who quickly hugged her tightly.“How are you doing, sis?” Linda asked, and Lena shook her head as tears rolled down her cheeks.“Did you return his suitcase?” Lena asked at once; all she wanted was to get out of here.“They will kill me, Lena,” Linda muttered as tears rolled down her ch

Chapter: You MonsterLena sat on the bed while in deep thought, trying to plot her escape, but Dante had closed the door on his way out, and the building was so high that she couldn't jump from the window.So all she could do was cry and reminisce about her parents deaths, which was caused by Nero. “So heartless,” she clenched her fist, still in deep thought, when the door pushed open and two maids walked in. "Hello, miss,” the first maid greeted, but Lena just glared at them; she hated being here and also hated anyone associated with this house or Nero. “You need to freshen up and get ready; the Pope (Nero) is waiting for you,” she explained, and a tear rolled down Lena’s cheeks. The thought that her parents were no longer alive shattered her, and to think the man who caused this was walking freely. “Maybe I could file a case against him,” Lena thought; all she needed was to get out of this building and hurry to the nearest police station.With this new plan in mind, Lena stood up and walked to the

Chapter: What's Your Name?Lena grabbed the sheets tightly as she kept reminiscing of her parents being pushed off the balcony, "Mommy.” She kept crying when her eyes slowly opened; it flickered and tried to balance with the light.Lena scanned her surroundings and noticed she was in a bedroom with white and yellow curtains and was on the queen-size bed. She hurried down the bed and stood by the window and noticed the building was high."Papa,” she extended her hand to try and catch her dad falling off the balcony, but it was just in her thought; her dad was already gone. “Papa!!!” Lena screamed out when the door pushed open and a maid walked in carrying a tray of food and placed it on the bedside table. “Your dinner,” the maid said, as Lena has been asleep since she arrived this morning, so the maid knew she must be so hungry right now.“Who are you?” Lena asked, the maid who smiled at her and walked out of the bedroom. Lena lounged to follow her but stopped on her track when Dante walked in.Fear was visibl
