DamonThey say what goes around comes around. That was the exact situation I found myself in. Looking back to the past, all what I did was so foolish that I want to push myself hard on the face. I don't blame Hazel’s parents for their behavior towards me. I have nothing to say to defend what I did in the past. However, I know one thing is certain, I will never let go of Hazel. Not now or never. And giving up what I have? They have chosen the least punishment for me. I have prepare for bigger treatment than giving up what I possessed. What do I even have? Nothing? I've given up on it long ago. No words were spoken between me and Derek up to our way back home. I bet he was shocked that I agreed to it. Same way Hazel was. Running away is the most foolish thing I would do. The car came to a halt for more than two minutes. “Are we going in there together?” Derek said breaking the silence that hung in the air. “Yes. We have to tell them everything. Have you called Mia?”“Yes I have. I'm

Hazel“Mom you seriously don't mean what you said” I commenced the moment I stepped Inside the house. I was trying not to show my anger. Because I don't understand what is going on in her head. “Do I look like I'm joking? Do you expect me to be all smiling and embrace him with open arms. Hell no. That isn't going to happen. After what he did to you?” I swallowed something strong down my throat. “You know mom, you only think about yourself. I'm supposed to be the one to be worried about it. But I've forgiven him. It doesn't matter what he did in the past. I love him for who he is”“If you have forgiven him, we don't. I'm not going to go easy on him. I know he won't come. Do you think he's stupid to give up everything he possessed?” I didn't know when a chuckle escaped me. “You don't know what Damon is capable of doing. The fact that he said he will, he definitely will. To show you how much he love your daughter. And what did you do? You're trying to push him to the edge”She went si

DamonI have already made the necessary preparations ready to take off to Hazel's house. I slept at home because my father wants to talk to me. We couldn't do that in the night when he came back from Mia's father's house. So I decided to stay back to morning. No one knows about my decision yet. My mother wouldn't stop asking me question upon question. Sue was much interested in Hazel rather than me. I guess getting her consent won't be hard unlike Hazel's mother. I zipped out the duffle bag containing some of the things I have left in my parents house. I will stop by my house and get the remaining stuffs. "Damon you're up" My mother commenced as I made my presence known."Good morning" I said greeting them in general. "Morning Damon. How was your night?" that was my mother's question. Whereas my father only nodded his head. "It was fine" "Hope you slept well?" this time around I nodded my head instead. Breakfast was served by my mother's servant. I wasted no time in digging in. Af

HazelDamon said he will be here in an hour and the said time has passed yet no sign of him. I called his line, he's no picking. I don't know why I was getting worried. Maybe because of the way my mother was anticipating his arrival planning what she will do to him. The sound of my phone ringing diverted my attention from looking at the road. My heart skipped a bit. I thought it was Damon. "Hello Layla""Hazel, is Damon there already?""No. He said he will be here in an hour. I'm outside w-" "I think he's here" I said sighting a car coming towards me. "Alright. All the best. We'll hear the gist later" And the line went dead. The unfamiliar car stopped few miles away from me. With a furrowed brows, I focused my attention on the person that will come out of the car. It took me two seconds to lose all my focus on the man. It was as if that was my first time setting my eyes on him. "Like what you're seeing?" He said fast approaching me. Snapping me out of my trance. He gave me no room

DamonHazel didn't help me with the unpacking. After running off from me. Would you blame me? She was the one who wanted the kiss. I was only trying to give it to her. And then she's running away again. I shake my head with a light smile while closing off the wardrobe. I took in a sharp breath. “Damon you're going for this! No negative thoughts” I said to myself before making a way out of the room. Hazel and her mother are no longer in sight. “Um.. They left for the restaurant first. We can go together” Her father said. I could only nod my head before we took off. Thankfully there were no much people around. One would think people don't live around. “This our neighborhood is one of the most quite part of the countryside” The man said noticing the way I've been scanning the surrounding.“You would think not many people live around here. Not only night time when the street will be swamped with people. That was when we get customers. So we get real busy in the night. Can you cope with

HazelI know Damon assured me he will can handle all the work but I couldn't help but worry. I kept on checking up on him. "The young man is pretty fine as you can see" My father uttered beside me. "I know. But he's still having difficulty taking many orders. You know it's night time""He will adjust with time. You know your mother if you try to help him, she won't take it light with both of you" Right. She has been throwing me looks for the past minutes. My mother is strict and no one will tell me otherwise. I was about to get back to the kitchen when I stopped to watch the scene happening before me. Damon smiling to a pretty young lady. There's no denying they were flirting. Bitterness settled in me. Here I am worried about him while he's there using the task to his advantage. It wasn't just a simple smile. A big one. I dropped the towel on the counter and stormed in. He will meet me later. He will tell me whether he's here to win my parent's heart or to flirt with other women.

Damon"Hazel""Don't talk to me" She snapped walking past me. "Why? What did I do?" I asked. I have no idea why she was getting angry all of a sudden. We were perfectly fine all this while. This morning too. What has changed? "Nothing. I'm just tired goodnight" And she left. I had to blink twice to make sure I heard her correctly. However, I wasn't planning on giving up. I followed her to her room. "What happened?" I said just when she was about to open the door."Like I said, its nothing" I stepped in front of the door before she could get in. "You don't look like it's nothing. Your faces says otherwise" I'm sure something is fishy. Her reaction isn't what I was expecting. She heaved out a sharp breath. "Okay fine. I'm not okay. I'm sleepy. We'll talk tomorrow" "No you're not sleepy. And we're talking today. Now" Her eyes widened. "Are you giving me orders?" She questioned."If I don't do this you're not going to listen to me" I dragged us inside before she could say anything mor

HazelThe air that surround the living room is thick and cold as ice. No one will tell me otherwise. Not with the look Damon and Lucas kept throwing at each other. Funny enough, my parents didn't seem to notice. The fact that my mom was happy all over the place for the arrival of Lucas. What Lucas said ignites something in Damon. Which was why he said what he said. I decided to break whatever attacks they are throwing at each other. “Thank you for the concern Lucas. What matters is I'm fine now. Right?” I found my last statement weird. Who am I questioning again?Lucas shifted his eyes from Damon and focus them on me. “You’re right. What matters is you're safe and sound now. Work hadn't been easy that was why I didn't come the day your parents informed me about your arrival” I felt a bit of guilt at the mention of work. I know leaving my work on a short notice has affected him. I was getting better then. Before everything takes a turn again. “I’m sorry for leaving with unfinished wor

“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.

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

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

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
