HazelI stared at my reflection on the mirror and to be honest, I saw a different person in me. Not that I applied on heavy makeup but I love the way my skin was glowing. A smile found it's way out of me as I turned around to have a clearer look at my dress. Is that why he said I should not open it at that moment. Looking at the design and quality of it, you’d know the dress screams luxury. What made me love it more is due to how comfortable it was. Not too tight and not too revealing. A black embroidered dress with adored beads at the back covering the not too transparent lace. The heels are quite normal to me. I had to click a picture. I instantly sent it to our group chat. I was later spammed with messages from them. Who is this hot piece of a cakeIs this Hazel or my eyes are deceiving me. Message upon message kept flowing in. Making me to giggle at their comment. I know I look hot and no one will tell me otherwise. Damon sure knows how to doll up his woman. I grabbed my match

Damon“Congratulations Sir on your comback” one of the staffs greeted me as I was on my way back to my office. Nothing new. I think I can't count how many times I received that. I don't blame them though. The well wishing is kind of giving me the strength. I have been welcome to the old and new board members once again. I promised to work diligently. More than last time. This time around, I won't slack off. I will make sure the company get to the desired position it'l deserves.I was surprised to see Leah still working at the office. Even though I'm not around. My father took all the workload by himself. Leah and Mr. Kane helping him. “Welcome back Sir” She greeted as I stepped in the office. My eyes lingers on Hazel’s desk. There's no change. It was as if she stepped out for a moment. Everything was the way it was. A smile found its way out of me when the thought of her getting back to work soon graced through me. “Thank you Leah. Hope you're good all these while”“Yes Sir. You le

HazelThe tension in the room was as thick and cold as ice. I have never been nervous the way I was at that moment. This feels like an interview if not more. The four pairs of eyes were staring right back at me with their interrogations. “So tell me Gina, when are you planning on your big day” I literally choked at the water I was sipping. “Um..We’re still in the process of the planning. But it will be soon” I answered forming my lips into a thin line. The woman nodded her head in answer. “That’s very good. I've been planning for it for a long time. Why don't we make it in two weeks time” In as much as it came as a shock to me, I managed to hide it away by letting out a smile instead. “Mother isn't that too early” Damon chirped in. “Come on Son. Are you planning on taking forever. Allow me to continue from where I stopped. I know Hazel wouldn't mind. Right Hazel?”I forced out a smile. “Yes Mother”“See. So stay out of this. Allow your mother to make your wedding a memorable one. H

Damon“Um.. I honestly don't know where to start apologizing to you guys. I feel ashamed sitting in front of you like this. But I know if I don't do this, I won't be able to forgive myself. Hazel” Her eyes shifted to my side where Hazel was seated.“I know I was the root of your separation with Damon from the very first time. I didn't want you to have what I didn't get. I wanted him all by myself which is why I came up with the idea of telling you Damon is the father of my child. I know what I did us totally out of character forcing something that isn't mine. I have realized that now. I'm really sorry from the bottom of my heart. I want nothing but peace between you” She was immediately in tears. If it was before, I would say, it's all fake but the Mia sitting in front of us is a different Mia. I could see the sincerity in her eyes. “It’s okay Mia. Everything is in the past now. I don't hold any grudge towards you. There are so many things we do for love. Be it bad thing or good thin

HazelI think my head is going to burst at any moment. I just couldn't understand what sort of wedding preparation we have been doing. Going from one place to another. I don't see Damon's fault when he said I will have to cope with his mother. At this stage, I think I would say coping with my mother is even better. "What do you think about the refrigerator?" Her voice snapped me out of my trance. A big refrigerator was standing before us. To be honest, I don't see the need of buying any new appliance when Damon has them. "It's okay Mother but we can go for something medium. Isn't this too big for us"She threw me a glare. "What is too big? Are you planning on stocking little amount of foodstuffs in the small refrigerator. This is the perfect one for you. It will last you for years. You can store everything inside""Sir, we're taking this" She said to the sales manager not giving me the chance to speak again. From the first shopping, she didn't listen to my decision. She buys them b

HazelA smile found it's way out of me as I finished setting the table. I had invite Damon for dinner which isn't basically because of that. But to tell him the good news. I know he will be happy the same way I was when I received the good news. I can be happier enough. I have sprayed some little perfume in the room to make it more luxurious. The sound of the doorbell resonate to my ear drums. “He’s here” I muffled out cheerfully heading to the door. I opened the door to the face of Damon looking all handsome in his glory. “Hi” I profound. “Hi beautiful” He ushered. I opened the door widely for him. “Wow. Is this all preparation just for dinner?” He said accessing the room. “Well, this is a special dinner. Have a seat” I opened up the lid of the food the aroma beating through my nostrils. “What a feast” Damon uttered smelling the food. I let out a smile. “It’s all yours you know” I watched in anticipation as he took a spoonful to his mouth. “How is it?” I asked. “It doesn't t

DamonI have gotten the best gift of my life. To be honest, I have never thought I would get happiness upon happiness in a short term. First I got the love and second, I got a symbol of our love. Both families were happy about the happy news. My mother wouldn't stop calling Hazel to inquire about her health. And I don't blame her because that was what I've been doing too. I tried convincing her to move in with me so that I will take care of her better but she wouldn't listen. Saying she wants to move in as my wife. And she's not officially my wife yet. I argue no more because her mother came. She'd be staying with her till the wedding. Our wedding is getting near. Five days more to go. We have already visited the village as per what Hazel wants. Mrs. Esther and her sister were happy when we told them we'd be taking our vows in the village. The sound of my door opening snapped me out of my trance. Derek walked in. "Hello Groom. What's up" He cheered crashing next to me. "Thinking a

HazelWith two days left for the wedding, I've been more busy than ever. Both families have been making the necessary preparations. Of course our mothers. My Mom and Damon's mother began friends in a short amount of time. It was as if they knew each other for years. They clicked almost instantly. Me as the bride doesn't have a say. Absolutely nothing. Thank God me and my friends took the control of choosing the wedding dress ourselves. It would've been worst. Today is the day I'm going to try out the second batch of the dress. We tried few design but not satisfied. So in the end we went for the last designer from the list. I just hope it will turn out well. "Mom, I'm leaving" I announced grabbing my bag from the couch. "Won't you stay for lunch" she shouted from the kitchen. "I will eat on my way" I yelled back before rushing out of the door. The girls will definitely kill me for wasting time. Kylie messaged me ten minutes ago that they're outside. I can picture her glares towards

“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. 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
