Hazel Okay, I think I'm taking things much overboard. I shouldn't have included Lucas in my matters. That is me giving him hope. I told Layla I'm getting married in a anger. It was a call to get an advice in return, she put everything on me which made me broke out the lie that Lucas and I are getting married. I didn't even consult Lucas himself. I know by now she'd have broken the news to the other girls if not Derek. And if Derek knows, definitely Damon will know. Some part of me was quite glad that Damon will then think I've moved on. But in reality nothing is the case. I've not moved on a bit. I've not forgotten about our memories. I just can not forget what we had just like that. My parent wouldn't understand me because they are not in my shoes. All they care about is the money. Not their daughter's feelings. I'm sure every lady would take the same decision I took. How’d you feel when another woman is carrying the man you love child and on top of that they're getting married. Wo

Damon I was so eager for the meeting to finish so that I will leave. We were discussing about the missing gap in the sales report. The meeting was held with only few employees. The shocking expression on my father's face when he learnt about what was going on in his company for a very long time. As the meeting ended, I followed my father to his office to finish the remaining discussion. “Such thing is going on in my company for over five years and I didn't know about it. No even a hint!” He sounded angry. “I think this is done by the previous manager. He knows everything that is moving”“You’re right. I'm glad you found out. Even though its not early but then it's not too late. From now on everything will be double checked before it gets signed” I nodded my head in answer. He's right. Through it we'll be able to run a smooth transaction. A moment of silence befell us as both of us went into a series of thinking. “Hope you've not forgotten about the family dinner later tonight?” I

HazelFive months later “Drop me here Sir” I asserted using my hand to tap on the car seat. The car came to a halt in front of my father's new restaurant. I grabbed the bouquet of flowers from beside me and made my way out. Today is the grand opening of his renovated restaurant. People have not started coming in. I want to be the first person to congratulate him. I ushered my way inside pulling the glass door open. “Hello ladies and gentlemen” I cheered making my presence known. All my father's workers attention turned to me. “Welcome Miss Hazel” Lizzy one of them said taking the bouquet of flowers from me. “Thank you Lizzy. Where is my Dad?” I was already eager to see him. “He’s in the kitchen” I wasted no time in making my way to the kitchen. A smile broke at my lips seeing him explaining something to the chef. I waited till he's done before I made my presence known. “Hazel”“Congratulations father on the new achievement” I cheered wrapping my arms around him. “Thank you dear

DamonI sipped my coffee as I stare at the sales report of my client intently. Just by that you'd know something is wrong. I wonder how they expect their company to get exposure when they don't hire the right people to couch their business. A knock sounded from the door came in my assistant Rob. “Sorry to disturb you Sir, Miss Mia is here to see you” An exasperated breath left my lips followed by me dropping the pen from my hand. She wouldn't let me be in peace would she. She knew exactly when I'm in the office, I require no attention. I don't want to be disturbed. Yet, if I don't let her in she'd think I'm depriving her of her right. When there's no one in the first place. I'm only carrying out the duty of a sensible man. Mia came to Scotland two weeks ago. I couldn't let her leave knowing the condition she was in. She has to pause every project of hers to take care of the baby. And then it was something low key, she got to be extra careful which was why I allowed her to stay back

HazelThey say it takes time for wounds to healed up. That was the exact thing I felt the moment my eyes set on Damon. I felt as if all the walls I built crumble down. The sound of my heart beating echo through my ears. I could hear it vividly. It was as if nothing matters at that moment. Only us. The memories I thought I left behind surfaces again. It came back to me like a piercing needle to my chest. “What’s wrong?” I heard Lucas said. He followed my gaze and we both went into a series of staring at Damon as much as he was on us. Damon was the first person to avert his eyes away making his way towards one of the spare chairs. Up to that moment I wasn't in my right state of mind. “Pull yourself together Hazel” Lucas muffled out beside me. “Remember all what you worked for all these months”He’s right. I worked so hard to get to where I was now. To forget I once knew Damon Lorenzo. But then seeing him now got me questioning myself. Did I really forget about Damon. Did I threw away

DamonI glanced at my watch for the umpteenth time as I awaits the arrival of my clients. I only agreed to fly all the way here so that I will have a look at the surrounding well and see where the problem lies. We were supposed to meet last night but she said something came up. Funny enough with all the interaction with each other we didn't see face to face. Our interaction was through emails. Asked me how I spent the night? It was a disaster. I literally slept on the floor because the bed doesn't look safe to me. In the first place it doesn't look like a bed that I will enjoy sleeping on. And for the bathroom, It was a worst nightmare. If I could reverse back in time, I wouldn't make a mistake of lodging at the inn. They say don't judge a book by its cover but it was the other way round. The cover is just a souvenir. Nothing is good inside. I can't wait to leave the place. They seriously need a better buildings. Most especially to guest coming from other part of the country. I have

Hazel“Where are you taking me Damon. Stop the car!” He didn't pay attention to me or even much spare me a glance. He was driving in high speed. Then door and windows were locked. I shake his body off pulling his arms. “Stop the car Damon! This is not right!”“Oh yes it is right. I'm taking my responsibility” He seethe in a kind of voice that I have never heard him used before. I saw a complete different person in front of me. My mind and body went into a series of fears. Where could he be taking me? I was afraid of how he was driving so fast. Seeing that me sitting at the back seat is of no use, I dragged my body towards the front seat and reached for the door lock only to get pulled back by Damon. “What the hell do you think you're doing!” I yelled out trying to free myself from his hold. He was using one hand to drive and the other to hold me. “You will know what I'm up to if you stay calm. There's no hiding away again Hazel. We are not going to back out from each other”“What do

HazelI waited three days. Three freaking days for Damon to wake up so we could find a way to get the hell out of the strange village. And was dumbfounded at his recovery. He can't remember who he is? The hell is he joking around. I tried as much as I can to mask up my rage and not vent them on him in front of Janet Esther. They've helped us a lot. Saving us, taking care of us. I remembered telling Janet that Damon is not my husband and him and I are not related but all she did was laugh it off my face. She doesn't believe me. I stared at Damon intently as his face cracked in a confusion. As if whatever is going on before him is damaging his spinal cord. “How are you feeling now my son?” I wanted to roll my eyes at Esther’s remark. She can't seriously call him her son. When did that happen? The area between his brows and lashes squinted as he narrowed his eyes a bit. “I’m fine. You asked this countless time. Can you now explain to me what is going on here. Where is this place?” I

“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.

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

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.
