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.

HazelI couldn't explain the embarrassment that washed over me when Lucas saw me in that condition. I wouldn't be surprised if he laugh it off my face. We went over to the nearest restaurant. Lucas insisted I allow his personal man to get a new shoe for me. Like it's not necessary. I can manage it up to the house or even walk barefooted. “So...” He commenced. I didn't miss a smile that was covered on his face. Okay, he's going to talk about it. “Why are you wandering around all alone at the time of work?. Sorry for asking” I don't think wandering around is the right word to use for the case. Rather than strolling. “Needed to clear my head” His brows squeezed together. “Having a tough time from work or a heartbreak from boyfriend. Because that is the only two things could make a girl out of it” I almost choked at the drink I was sipping. He didn't just see right through me. “That looks too keen for my liking”“That means I'm right then. Let me guess” He squinted his eyes leaning o

HazelI've never felt devasted and belittle like I felt at that moment. My head spun around. I couldn't believe my ears. The information didn't come direct to me. I thought at least things will stay the way they are. Even if we don't continue our relationship. I didn't know he has everything planned. Engagement? He knew he's going to get back together with his ex-girlfriend yet he toyed with my feelings. I was shocked. No I was angry. Angry at myself for still having hope. Angry at myself for still having feelings for him. The news of Damon’s engagement is all over the tabloid taking everyone by shock. It will be a hot topic for another week. What I'm grateful about is the fact that no one knows about my relationship with him. Not even Leah who was having her suspicious. At least it will save me from the embarrassment. However, I can't do away with the bitterness that settled at the pit of my stomach when I heard some of the staffs talking about it. The elevator door opened and I wea

DamonDamonI know I'm a coward for not coming out straight with Hazel. No matter what, I still listen to my father in the end. Going to that extra miles is not necessary. We can practically help Mia's father without the need of going too far but father took that as an opportunity to grasp his company stronger. And like a coward I am, I agreed. Throwing away my love and all that we had with Hazel. I don't know why I was harsh on her knowing all what I said weren't true. Or should I say because I was scared to let go of the position. Stillness befell me as I muled over the conversation that transpired between me and my father. Flashback"I want you to marry Mia" As the words slipped out of his mouth it went down to my chest like a rock. "I don't understand Father. For what?" I asked as calmly as I could muster up. "We've discussed this for a while now. Thompson agreed to give half of his share to our company if we get both of you married"This is bullshit! They have discussed it wi

Two days laterHazelI can’t believe I’m doing this. Like faking a relationship with Lucas. Someone I barely know not up to a month or even weeks. The plan was to act normally but like couples in the presence of Damon. I don't know how Lucas would do it. He said he will prolonged his stay here. If you ask me why he's interested in helping me, I have no idea. When I asked if it will affect his work, he only smile. It didn't surprise me my friend agreed full percent with the idea also looking forward to meet Lucas. That will be another discussion for another day. I don't want them to exaggerate things. No matter how hard I think of the damage he's done to my heart, I know my feelings for him are still there. I was all set ready to leave for work when my phone chimed with messages from my friends. Good Luck girl! Show that asshole he's missing on a gem like you. I found myself smiling at their messages. I switched off the light before making my way out. Surprise filled me up when I m

DamonWords could not express the burning anger inside me. Mia was at the right time to lash my anger out on her. Hazel was literally smiling at the asshole. From day one I saw how he's looking at her differently. Waiting for the perfect time to snatch her away from me. And Hazel was all carefree with him. Throwing away all our memories.Isn't that what you wanted? My inner mind questioned. That was the plan before but now it bothers me. Seeing her together with Lucas. I don't want him near her. “Why did you leave?” Mia’s voice revamped to my ear drums as she made her way out. “We’re done talking what do you expect us to be sitting there doing?” She was taken aback by how I lash out on her. I couldn't care less. My inside was burning. The urge to throw my fist on something hard. Maybe it will reduce the raging fire in me. “Look Damon are you like this because of Hazel. She’s here with another man. That means she has moved on” I was surprised at the mention of Hazel and Lucas. Anyon

“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? 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. 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

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

DamonI know after the wedding, we'd finally get peace of mind but it was the other way round. Hazel is still at her early stage of pregnancy. It's too early to start making the preparation. "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
