Hazel “What happened? Why are you silent?” Her voice resonate again. “I don't know Layla. But I don't think we can work out”“Don’t be crazy Hazel. Are you seriously saying that. When will you grow up? After all the effort he put you want to back out. What are you seriously thinking?” She went on without giving me room to explain myself. I know whatever she's saying is for my best interest. But I can't do away with the negativity at the pit of my stomach. “Listen to me Layla. I-”“No. You listen to me. I don't want to hear any of your excuses. Do you want to waste away your life like that being single? Do you?” I raked my hand through my hair ruffling them. The surrounding has began turning dark. Same with the breeze blowing. “I don't mean it that way. You know what type of a person Damon is. He's a public figure”“You didn't think about that when you fell for him? Why now Hazel? I seriously don't understand this. I don't get what's going through that head of yours” I omit out a s

HazelSilence prevailed as I waited for Damon to give me an answer but all what he did was walk away. I didn't fail to feel weakness down my legs. Something washed over me. I was on that position for more than a minute before sitting back down. The images of what transpired few minutes ago rang in my head. Why didn't he give me an answer to my question. Does that mean all my suspicious are right? Does that mean he's sleeping with her or he slept with her? I know my impression on him was a womanizer but then I thought he's no more into that. I guess I've gone too far. An exasperated breathe erupt out of me. I felt used, stupid. I should've known better. **They say overthinking left you with nothing but a negative mind that was what I felt at the moment. I've had the thinking all night about our conversation with Damon although I was angry at him. But that didn't change the fact that I'm still in love with him. The cold treatment Damon gave me wasn't something I expected. He literal

Damon We arrived back in New York. I dropped Hazel at her apartment before I went away back home. The first thing I did was take a shower. I felt much better after doing so. I decided to rest for a bit before reporting to my father later the day. I don't think I have enough strength to talk at the moment. I laid down on the couch resting my arm on my forehead. Images of Hazel flashes before me. The event that occurred at Australia replayed in my head. It's true that I'm unhappy that she didn't trust me before accusing me of such. I know anyone will behave that ways seeing a picture of a naked woman on someone that confessed he loves her phone. All what I said is from my heart. I can't deny it to myself. I want her all to me. To myself. Me alone. God know the anger that build up in me when Lucas Stone was shaking her. That grew more when he was friendly towards her. From the tabloids he's a man with charisma. But the way he was towards her doesn't feel right to me. I'm glad we were a

HazelI'm very glad that tomorrow is saturday which came by actually fast. I don't have to go to work. Because I needed the rest. After we came back from the trip, I went for some grocery shopping. Because I have close to nothing left in my fridge. I will use the weekend to rest although without the need to do anything. I was surprised when I bumped into Derek on my way. We didn't talk much before everyone went on their ways. After I'm done restocking the refrigerator, I grab an energy drink. My energy level is low. You could imagine how restless I was. I turned on the TV which haven't been used for how long I can't remember. Because I barely have time for myself. The volume was on high pitch as I try to concentrate on what was being displayed on the screen. A documentary. The sound from my phone occupy the whole room. My brows furrowed when Derek's name flashed across the screen. Why is he calling me at this hour? The clock is striking fast. “Hello” I uttered placing the phone to

HazelDamon hugged me tightly like his life depended on me. Silence befell us as our hearts beat in sync. After some time Damon pulled apart. "I'm sorry for making you worried. I just had a lot in my head and needed to cool it off" Something was laced in his voice as he talk. "Is it your father?" I uttered. I know last time he complained about his father even though he didn't open up completely to me. "It's okay. I'm fine now" "You know I won't buy that. I can see through it that something is bothering you. Don't I deserve to know?" I declared openly squeezing his hand that was atop mine. He went silent. "Do you trust me?" I uttered again. "Ofcourse I do. I trust you with everything in me""Then tell me your problems. We're in this together" I ended with a light smile. I heard him breathe out. "You're right. It's my father" My brows creased in question on the accord ushering him to go on. "He doesn't really care about my feelings or my opinions. He want the project to began imm

HazelOne week later"Congratulations Mr. Damon for the successful project" The staffs cheered as they blew confetti all over Damon's head. Surprise gathered all over this face. I know he isn't expecting that. I planned all of it. He deserved the praises. To give him more encouragement. We are finally done with the clothing line project. Everything has been set up. Now it's left for it to blow up. And I know that will be happening soon. Damon and I shared a look which was a knowing one. He knew It was all my plan. After all the praises and well wishes, I was left alone with him. "You-"The warm arms that embraced me halted what I was going to say. "Thank you Hazel. This is special" He muttered tightly his hold around me. I held on tightly too. He pulled apart and offered out a smile. "You deserve all the praises of the world. You know, the past weeks hasn't been easy. You worked so hard to see the business come to life" "You're right. It wasn't something simple. You might not know t

HazelI had the hope that Damon would come. Yet, no sign of him or even a text from him. I ignored all the messages my friends kept dropping in the group chat. My body wasn't together with me. The images is still flowing through my head. Some part of me wanted to believe Damon would not do such thing. And some part of me is having doubt because his face was visible enough. It can't be a set up when he's enjoying whatever Mia is doing to him. Minutes goes to hours passed by without a glimpse of Damon. I was still seated on one position. The weakness I felt in my body was still there. I didn't know how long I sat there up to the time sleep engulfed me. Anyone could tell how untidy my face looks. I didn't expect it to bother me that much. I could barely think straight. All my mind was on what happened. Today, I dressed up anyhow. Not bothering to even look myself in the mirror to see whether everything is set. On my way, I bumped into Mr. Kane. Our greeting was short. He noticed I was

DamonI don't know why I was getting to excited. It's going to be my first normal outing with Hazel. It's not as if it's was the first time. But everything I do with her is a first to me. I kept checking my watch for time. There's a lot of time to go. "Chill man. Why are you acting as if you're in a relationship for the first time" Derek uttered beside me. We were on our way back from the construction site. I decided to do things my way. The workers will start setting the place and then they will take a week off before starting the main work. When father heard about it, he was angry like I expected. However, I made him understand without the workers, our building won't come to life. I only spared him a glance before diverting my attention back to the road. "What does that have to do with me?" I asked. "You know, you're getting overly excited. Like a teenage boy going on a date with the girl he proposed to" I said nothing because I felt like it's true. I'm acting like a teenage boy.

“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.

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.

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

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

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.
