Leo was surprised as much as Laura was. They gave each other a knowing look. Mels nudged Laura on the arm breaking her out of the trance. “You guys know each already” Mels ushered purposely.

“You do?” The landlord chirped in. “You know her Mr. Leo?” He questioned again.

A smile found its way out of Leo’s lips as he made his way to sit down. The look plastered on her face was quite amusing. I bet she wasn’t expecting to see him anytime soon. Although from his side, he knew they’d definitely meet. For the fact that she was hell bent on him taking responsibility. She has his card after all.

Laura gathered herself together and grab her seat which was next to Leo. Mels words began coming back to her. When she said karma is a bitch. Now she believes it is. She won’t say she was expecting to see him again anytime soon. She collected his card only to bluff around. Not because she wants to charge him of anything or such.

Leo noticed how Laura was quite. Completely different from how he met

Laura grabbed her bag and slid it around her before making her way out.Leo was already halfway from the store. She heaved out a sharp breath before heading towards him. “Seems you’re in a hurry to get back home” She ushered. Leo was startled by her voice. He didn’t expect her to follow him. But then, that warmed up something in him. He didn’t want to go yet but had to. Maybe they could spend some time before he call it a night.“Do I? Maybe because I have long and strong legs” He answered. Laura steadied her bag and wr

    Hazel The loud beats of music was blaring from every direction. Thumping loudly with the beats. Men are drinking, strippers are dancing, others are doing nothing. Just sipping their drinks. The room was filled with people. My eyes scanned the surroundings immediately I set my foot inside. Even before I found my way inside, I felt my blood pumping. If I want I can equally turn back and leave. Yet, something was pulling me back. I needed to enjoy my day. I needed the drink, the dance to cool off my mind from everything. There's no going back. I ventured my way inside, marching towards the counter and grabbed the empty stool. "Welcome Miss. What would you like to have? We have different drinks from-" "I want a strong one" I cut him off before he could complete his statement. "Okay Miss" The bartender ushered back, turning to get me the said drinks. I fished out my phone and began surfing through my social media account. A message popped in. Where the hell are you!! Something was i

    Hazel A yawn escaped me as I stretched my body getting off the bed. I immediately trekked to the bathroom to take a shower. Normally, I take my time in showering which is why I stick to waking up as early as possible. I prefer to be at work first before anyone else. Including my boss. "Shit!" Reality slapped me across the face when I remembered I'm no longer working anymore. All the events that transpired replayed in my head. I know I've displayed my job at stake just to expose his dirty little acts. And I don't regret doing that. He deserve more than the humiliation. Since he's not ashamed to be sleeping with women however he like and harassing his employees because he cannot keep his desires at bay. Someone needs to teach him a good lesson. And I'm proud I was able to do that. I discarded the outfit I planned to wear to work and went for a simple denim jeans and a white crop top normal for an ex-worker like me. I tied my hair in a bun and sauntered my way to the kitchen. I live i

    HazelA thick silence fell in the room as we sent daggers to each other. I wasn't ready to back off. Damon was the first to avert his eyes. Nevertheless, got me off guard when I felt his hand engulfing my waist. He yanked me forward and my palms immediately landed on his chest. My eyes went wide not at his actions but at the way my chest almost ripped apart due to the heat I felt radiating off my body. Sending me into flames of something I don't want to feel. Something dangerous. He began leaning over at the same time, the beating of my heart went twice their normal form. It was as if I was being controlled. I couldn't make an action. I stood there as the space kept getting smaller. Unknowingly, I clutched his shirt tightly when his eyes fixed on my lips. Something burned me in. I've forgotten when last I go aroused. The last time was at the club three years ago when I kissed a total stranger which I'm not able to remember what happened afterward. I woke up in my bed the next morning

    HazelIt took me some time to register what was happening and when it did, I pushed him off me ready to lunge a slap on his face only my hand to be halted midair by him. The smirk that was once on his face wasn’t there. It was replaced by anger. And I couldn’t discard the shiver that ran down my spine. At that moment, I knew if I land the slap on his face, I wouldn’t only regret it, I would be left to pay more than the debt I have. Because the look in her eyes was dangerous. It showed no mercy.“You have made a mistake of slapping me once. You won’t get the privileged of repeating that” My eyes went wide open when he tighten his hold on my wrist. I winced in pain.I know my mouth will put me in trouble one day. Even with the situation I was in, my mouth wouldn’t keep shut. “If you don’t want to be washed with another embarrassment why the hell did you kiss me then?” I spitted throwing him daggers. Though my legs were almost shaking but my pride comes first before my fears.He released

    HazelWe chatted for a while going from one topic to another. My girls knows the hook and nooks when it comes to gist. Layla wouldn't stop talking about Damon making me to hate him more than before. The world doesn't revolve around him. There are lot of hot men in New York City. He's feeling too prideful of himself. I took out my phone that was vibrating as I searched for my apartment key from my bag. "Who the hell is calling me now?" I hissed. I unlocked the door first before giving my attention to my phone. "Shit!" I muttered seeing who the caller id was. Month will end in the next two days. So, it's normal for my Dad to start calling. I ignored the call because I have nothing to say to him at the moment. I haven't received my monthly pay too. And with the things happening at the company, I don't know whether I would be paid. I dropped the phone on the couch and trekked to my two sitter dining chair pouring water on the glass cup. Another hiss left my lips making me to almost choke

    HazelWe were seated in the conference room as Mr. Kane explains the situation. The block shares was stacked at 50% while the main shares keeps skyrocketing. “From our research, there’s a chip. Someone is trying to sell out our information” I knew something is fishy. The last time something happened was when I started working newly at the company. I had no idea how things work back then. But now I’ve reached a stage that I come to know a lot of things about the company.“They used the current situation to drop the bomb” Damon said for the first time since the meeting began. He’s right they used the situation to their advantage.“The first thing to do is to find the chip before they do more damage” Damon asserted again. “You’re right Sir” I was in deep thought when the two turn to stare at me. “Are you listening to what we’re saying?” Mr. Kane uttered. The light from the projector reflecting on his face. You can see the distressed look on Mr. Damon’s face.“As for me I think the most

    Hazel"Congratulation on your promotion boss" Nikki, the new intern said throwing her arms around me."Thank you Nikki" I patted her back. She pulled apart but still holding my wrist. "This calls for a celebration Ma'am""Congratulation Hazel" Our chief send her warm smile. "Thank you Mrs. Rachel" Another set of clapping follows. To say I was expecting all the warm gesture will be an understatement."You have to take us out for dinner" She said. I wish I would be able to. But I've already made plans with my girls."I will. But that will be another day. I have plans for today" I said forming my lips into a thin line."You have plan with the man?" She asked jokingly. She knew I have no man yet, she's teasing me."No. With friends" I replied. And I'm not ashamed of saying that. I prefer to keep my personal life separate from my career."All the best then" I trekked my way towards my desk. Everything was neatly rested on their position.

    They kept on dragging pulling it until all the content spilled all over the place. Leo swallowed a lump in his throat. It was the last piece and she allowed it to went to waste. It's better he should get himself another thing instead of wasting his energy on snack that is no longer in existence. He took a step forward and proceed to walk away only for her to stop him. "Excuse me. Where do you think you're going?" Leo foot came to a complete halt. He thought there's no need for more talk after what happened. What does the girl wants again. He's tying his best not to raise his voice on how the snack spilled on his shirt. As a neat person as he is, even a slight bit of dirt irritates him.He didn't turn around though. "You made the mess so you have to take responsibility for it" She had said. Leo didn't fail to let out a smile at her outburst.When he finally turned around, something flashed in her eyes.

    A hiss left his lips for the tenth time as he spared his wrist watch a glance. His driver was supposed to pick him up ten minutes ago, yet more than fifteen minutes has passed by without seeing any sign of him. The fact that he has a meeting to attend within the next forty minutes is making it worst for him. He’s someone that do things diligently without a waste of time. He was taught that by his parents. Talking of his parents, his mother had been calling him Several times making sure he had not forgotten anything. He was in that thinking when his phone vibrate from his hand. A smile found its way out of his mouth as he press the phone to his ears before he could speak his mother had began bombarding him with question. “Leo have you arrived? Hope you were able to locate a good place there to lodge? Hope the place is okay for y0u?” she went on with question. “Mom, I’m fine. I’ve not arrived there yet. I’m waiting for my driver to arrive. And don’t worry about the place to lodge. You

    Laura planned to have a ten to fifteen minutes nap, but ended up falling into a deep slumber. Even when Nanny knocked on the room's door, she played Ignorance. She could barely keep her eyes open. After all, she needed the rest and sleep. It was until she felt she couldn't keep her eyes closed anymore, when she dragged her body off the bed. She ventured her way downstairs where she met with Nanny knitting as usual. while MeIs was busy pacing around the living room with phone glued to her ears. "Who is she busy shouting at?" Laura whispered to Nanny gesturing towards the pissed off Mels. Nanny shrugged in return. She paid no attention to MeIs and her problem. It will only result into headache. Laura plopped her two legs on the center table, folding her arms across her chest as she spared the pacing Mels a glance. It took MeIs more than ten minutes ranting on the phone. Laura wondered whether her cousin doesn't get tired of talking. It was as if MeIs knew what's on Laura’s Mind, she om

    STORY CONTINUES FROM HAZEL AND DAMON SON PART ( LEO) BUT WILL JUST BE A SHORT GLIMPSE OF THEIR LIVES. Olivia"Excuse me""Excuse me" She ushered in one of her most calm voice she could muster up to the elderly women occupying the train entrance. She could barely walk past them as her voice was void to their ears. At least that's what she see it as. She settled her middle sized suitcase on the luggage section before proceeding to sit next to an elderly man who was consciously reading through a newspaper. "Hello" She managed to say dropping her handbag atop her thigh. "Hello young lady" The man spared her a small glance together with a smile which she found oddly weird. Okay She's on with her weird way of thinking. Everything is weird to her.The sound from her phone snapped her out of the small trance she went it.

    DamonWith the amount of blessings I received within the year, I couldn't be much happier than before. I married the love of my life and the symbol of our love. Our son, Leo. She is my everything. The image of how I held her in my arms was still vivid in my eyes. I couldn't hold in my tears. Tears of joy. We are now a complete family. With me, Hazel and Leo. Our bond has grown more stronger than before. We have received a lot of blessing ever since we have our little son. Hazel is yet to resume work. She got promoted to a higher position. Whereas the company kept on soaring higher and higher more than before. "You're up early baby" I heard her sleeping voice from behind as she snaked her arms around me. "Um. Hope you had a great night?" I asked my eyes still on my laptop. I heard her sigh before she spoke up. "I wish I had. Leo wouldn't let me sleep. And you choose to abandon us while I suffer with the baby alone. Thought we are supposed to take care of the baby together" She reste

    EIGHT MONTHHazelI purposely turned a blind eye to Damon as he went on pacing around the room venting his anger about me eating spicy stuffs. I couldn't even care less. I don't know whether the doesn't get tired of talking about one thing. He lecture me, I go on again. And it went on and on again for the past seven months. And nothing went wrong. If not for few days ago when I felt as if I'm going to give me that day due to the throbbing pain I experienced. I have never seen Damon worried the way he was that day. Deep down I was laughing in wickedness while in reality I kept on a calm face. “Are you going to keep marching like a soldier?” I said after a while. He took and fixated his eyes on me. His jaw was clenched. He was clearly losing his shit and I'm behind it. “You-” He inhaled a deep breath. “I don't know the words to use on you honestly. We have been dragging on this for the past seven months. We don't listen to me even for once. You do whatever you like” He exclaimed rak

"Good morning Boss" "Morning Leah. How was your night?""It was fine Boss. He's your schedule for today" She pushed front the paper. I accessed it before speaking up. "Alright. Let's me get going then" I said rising up to a standing position. I spared Hazel's desk a glance before making my way out. I stopped by my father's office. I remembered I have something to discuss with him. "Damon. I was just about to call for you" He said the moment I stepped in. By the side was seated Mr. Kane. It was as if they are having a conversation. "Good morning Mr. Kane" I greeted. The man was surprised at my outburst. "Morning Damon. Hope you had a great night""I did Mr. Kane" I grabbed the other seat facing him before focusing on my father. "Do you have news?" "Yes I have. It's about the investors. I ha
