HazelLayla helped me and compose the message to Mr. Kane. I asked her to send to him on purpose. I don't want anything to do with him. As much as he doesn't want to associate himself with me. I think ny actions should be justify. After taking some pain killers, I felt much better. I was on for a second round sleep when my phone chimed with message. I forgot to switched off my data. I was swamped with messages from my girls all wishing me quick recovery. They're talking as if I'm sick. The cramps normally drag me down for a day or two and I will be back to normal. There were no more messages apart from theirs. Somehow, some part of me had a slight of hope that I will get a message from him. I know by then Mr. Kane has already notified him of the situation. I dropped the phone with a sigh and pull the duvet over my face. The aroma of food beat through my nostrils as I made my way out of Layla’s room towards the sitting room. My stomach instantly made a sound in hunger. The sleep and

DamonMy inside was dying to hold her. To feel her warmth on my skin to kiss away her pain. She looked pale and her eyes are somewhat not in good shape. I tried to get her to look at me yet her face was solely focused on what she was eating. This is what you wanted Damon. For things to be the way it is before. The voices in me echo. It was what I wanted but then again, why am I getting worried about it. Especially the cold air that was between us. “Why are you two quite?” Derek’s voice resonate to my eardrums. The two were the only ones doing the talking. Whereas we were both lost in our own thoughts. “Does that bothers you?” I asked back wiping my lips with the table napkin. The look Derek gave me in return was that of a knowing one. I know he's referring to Hazel. He want us to fix whatever we had. In this first place there isn't anything talkless of fixing it. “Excuse me” Our eyes went to Hazel that sat up. With her head still casted down, she made a walk out of the living room.

HazelThis time around, I kept a normal face as I made my way to the office. I can't get too excited like last time. Damon might give me the same treatment. But then, after what happened last night, I had the hope that things are getting better. It's not like he admit that he has feelings for me but the stage we are currently at, is mutual. I sigh in disappointment when I found the front door locked. Which means he's yet to arrive at the office. The urge to call him grew in me. I held it in knowing It will make me look like someone begging for attention. I was still on that thought when my phone rang from my bag. I found myself letting out a smile. I allow the phone to ring for some time before slidding the accept button. "I see you're thinking about me Miss Dalen" Was the first thing that came out of his lips. I rolled my eyes at his statement dropping my bag on my desk. Even after allowing the phone to ring for sometime. "I don't have time for that. Last time I checked I didn't ca

DamonI know it will sound weird to tell someone who you reconcile with not less than forty eight hours ago. I felt like telling Hazel about Mia will be better than hiding things. So as not to get the wrong impression. It's funny, but the expression on her face when I was talking with Mia. I would call that a pang of jealously. That sure whatever that in my heart is not one sided. I found myself smiling recalling her face. After lunch we went back to the office. I finished off the rest of the work before calling it a day. I left Hazel still on her desk. A reminder, I've not forgotten about the dinner thingy. I only ate dinner once at her house. It's okay to finish off the rest of the day. But I want tell her. It'd be a surprise. Mia might think because I'm friendly to her, I've let things go. Somehow my mind is telling me she has a motive. She didn't tell me the full story. She only said she came for a business. How she left me at the most time that I needed support saying she wants

HazelToday I decided to meet up with a my girls for. Why? Because it's weekend. Like, I don't want to waste the weekend just like that. I might as well have fun. We planned a picnic on one of the beautiful park in the city. Each one of us will bring something and we'd enjoy it together. I went for cupcakes and brownies. I have a thing for baking. You can say my second hobbies is baking. “Who do we have here. Miss D-” I nudge Layla on her side stomach before she could blabber something. The other girls are still unaware of everything. I’m not ready for another session of gossip. “Kylie am I sensing glowing on your skin?” I proclaimed squinting my eyes on her. Her skin was shining and more brighter than the last time I saw her. “Well, the man is taking good care of his baby” Sophie teased. We all burst out with laughter. “You guys should learn from me” Kylie answered back fanning her face. The ring from her middle finger didn't go unnoticed. I'm happy for her. Things are going great

DamonThe stillness that befell us was the kind that warmed me up inside. Hazel's arms were still wrapped around me as I felt her breathing on my hair. Hazel pulled away cupping my face in her palms. The gesture that make my body weak. It ignite something in me. "No matter how hard life is treating you, don't give up instead look up to your achievements. Life doesn't always come easy" I know all what she said is true but sometimes I feel like life isn't going in my favour. I don't know why Father doesn't want to understand me. No matter how much effort I put, he still finds fault in it. I'm a human not a robot. The conversation we had earlier this afternoon was heated to the extent that he threatened to take me down from my position. Why? Because I didn't agree with his new idea. We're still in the process of completing the projects at hand to think of another. And to think that the people he wants to do business with are people that we have no idea about them. Hazel's words brought

HazelOkay, I know whatever we’re going to do in Australia is strictly business but I couldn't help but pack extra clothes. I don't want to end up like last time. When I had only one outfit to wear for two days. I recall back to how Damon and I grew close from that span of time. I found myself letting out a smile as I zip up the bag. My eyes traveled to the wall clock. “I still have time before the departure” I said to no one in particular. I decided to face time my parents. We haven't spoke for a while. “Hi Mom” I waved at the screen. My mom half face was displayed on the screen. Her weird way of using a face time. “Hey Hazel. Why isn't my face showing well” A chuckle erupt from me in return. “Because you're not positioning it well. Keep your face straight”“Like this” She tilted the phone the way her face will be showing. Although it still didn't show fully. But who cares. As far as we can talk to each other then it's fine.“How are you doing dear? You haven't been calling latel

HazelWe arrived at Australia at the early morning. The weather was still dark at it's peak. A personal driver was being assigned to. I don't know whether Damon hired him or from the airport itself. I don't care to know. What I needed at that moment is to see myself rest. Damon doesn't seem to be tired a bit. Even when I woke up from the short nap, he was still working on his laptop. I wonder if he wants his head to explode one day from working. My mind ventured to the short conversation we had at my house. When he told me he feels like he's not a good son. He might not tell me the complete side of the story but I feel like there's more to it. From the little time I got to know him, he's someone who give his all. I can see how hardworking he is. He's giving the company his all. “Where are your thoughts” Damon said beside me broking me out of my trance. I didn't realize we have arrived our destination. I said nothing only proceed my way out. The morning breeze cascaded through my ski

“Thank you so much Mr.Leo for giving us your time today. And for the advice” Mels ushered as Leo prepare to leave for the night.“It was my pleasure Miss Mels”“Do call me Mels”“And do call me Leo. The Mr looks weird to me. I will take my leave then. Do have a nice day” And he turned around and left. Mels nudged Laura on the arm who was consciously quite. “What?” She mouthed.“Follow him” She gestured. Laura passed her a look. “We’ll talk later” She added with a wink. 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

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

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. "Did I hear you say responsibility?" He asked"Yes you're right. You need to take r

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?

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. A smile made it way out of her lips seeing the name plastered. She wasted no time in picking up the call. "Hey Nanny, you finally decided to call me" She commenced fakin

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

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
