So many memories started flooding back. Her time with Alec, the abuse she experienced at the hands of Alec and her school bullies.
The way Lily used to make fun of her. The first time she was groped in the kitchen.
She got her first period here.
She told him all. She shared it all with him. Here. On this very rooftop.
This was the place where they talked for long hours. She slapped him on their first meeting thinking of which made her smile through her tears.
This was the place where she proposed him and promised him that she will take care of him.
The place where she was so worried while leaving that how would Ezequiel find her back. How would he if he did not know about her face?
But he did keep his word. He promised her that he will find her. And he did it.
She did not realize that she was crying. Just then she felt wetness in her hair. She looked up and found him crying.
“Zeki.”
“Zella.&rdquo
They both were walking towards the forest their hands intertwined with each other. Just like their fates.They were accompanied by guards and it was slowly becoming a new normal for Hazel. She was gradually getting used to it. But sometimes it did make her annoyed.She used to miss her freedom.“What is it, my queen?” Concern was written on Ezequiel’s face. Instead of replying, Hazel just pointed towards guards accompanying them.“They are for our safety, honey.” He mind linked her but she just nodded her head instead of replying. He turned towards the guards and asked them to stop there.“We will be among those trees. You can form the circle if you want but do not enter the clearing.”The guards got the message and bowed their heads before forming a circle around that area. Ezequiel walked towards the spot well covered by the trees and then taking her in his arms he kissed her cheek gently.&
It did not seem like a piece of land but a place full of pristine white cotton balls. It was all white. Nothing else. Just whiteness.She felt like she was walking on clouds.Suddenly she felt nervous. Was it possible that she reached the wrong place this time? Should she go back and tell Zeki that it did not work?The place was strange, the surrounding was alien yet she did not feel scared. The place was not giving her evil vibes.Gosh! She could not even feel the ground under her feet but she kept walking anyways.And then something changed around her. The clouds around her seemed to bow down. A smile formed on her lips.Were they doing it for her? She thought to herself.“No Hazel. They are not doing it for you.” Hazel jumped up when she heard the soft voice behind her and turned around, “They are bowing down to me.”A silhouette of a woman … no … not only a woman but an extremely beauti
It was a warm sunny day. The breeze felt cool against his skin. He never noticed the colors of flowers before. Nor he ever noticed how beautiful and blue the sky looked. He was a warrior who was supposed to fight. As a crown prince, he was taught that he needed to keep his emotions under control.But ever since his wife entered his life, nothing was in its place. With everything turned upside down, life had taught him a lot.He was sitting on the rooftop garden which was no more artificial. It was transformed into a real one with a lake. The wheel chair was still mounted there on the edge which was pulled back so many years ago.Taking a deep breath he looked down and kissed the little, four years old munchkin in his arms who was sleeping peacefully giving a damn to the world. When he stood from the garden swing, a servant came ahead and reached forward to take the kid from him but he shook his head.He enjoyed tucking Noah every night. Except when

It was after midnight when she entered the kitchen. She wanted water, she could not stay thirsty for long. Pouring water from a jug she felt a movement at her back. She stopped cold. Her parents were supposed to be sleeping at that time.She turned around slowly, a little scared, her heart beating faster.Then her lips broke into a bright smile, “Grandma!”Grandma spread her arms and she lunged towards her to hug her tightly, “I knew you would come to meet me, Grandma. I was waiting for you.”Her grandma had passed away last evening and she knew she would visit her. They all did!For a final goodbye!“What are you doing here in the kitchen?” 14 years old Hazel asked innocently. Her grandma was smiling. She was her only support system against her abusive parents.“I am making Vanilla shampoo my dear.” She smiled while caressing her bald head. “This time in bulk. It would grow your h
Hazel came down running, she got up late and was now getting late for her school. Her aunt Ivy Bernard was humming while working in the kitchen.Fortunately, Uncle Alec was not home. It used to be easy for Alec to slap his wife or his niece. He used to get drunk at night and beat the sh*t out of his wife. While in the morning he could not bear to see Hazel’s face.He also used to believe that Hazel was Satan’s daughter and slapping her, throwing away her wig, cursing her would bring lots of good luck to his home.He and Ivy were expecting their first child. But day by day he was getting more abusive.When Hazel was about to close the door behind her, Ivy came running after her and silently slipped a banana in her hand.Hazel’s eyes brimmed with tears. Ivy was a darling.Taking a deep breath she started walking to the school. She had just turned sixteen with still no hair on head and no periods.It had been one
“In the beginning, we won’t overburden you, dear. But you have to act responsibly. If you see any royal person, saying something or doing anything. Just consider yourself blind, deaf. You need to respect their privacy. Your eyes should be cast down.” Amanda, the head maid was telling her everything. She was polite but very firm.Hazel was excited to work there. For her, this was something new.“Right now you can look around the palace. Just be careful. And do remember your limits.” Hazel nodded and then went to her small room leaving her door ajar.This was her bed, her room. No one could touch her, abuse her. She felt happy and wanted to celebrate. She missed the school today but by afternoon Alec handed over a pack to her. It was a brand new wig of low quality, and still in a bob style.Before coming here she had asked Ivy to stay strong. She was like an elder sister to her, they both hugged
“So, why you wanted to see me?” Noah was sitting behind his office desk. His office was more sophisticated than Mr. Jacob’s. Which was understood because of being a prince.“I wanted to thank you.” She said while her eyes were cast down. For some unknown reason he wanted her to look at him.He just smiled. “My father has taught us to always appreciate people who struggle and work hard. I just helped a little, otherwise it’s you who deserve the appreciation.”She nodded still looking down. She seemed nervous.“Is there anything else you want to say Hazel?” Hazel just shook her head.“No Sir.”“hmm.” there was an awkward silence in the room.“I think I should take my leave.” She stood and bowed her head before turning around.When the guard opened the office door for her, she did not exit but stayed there trying to decide.&ldqu
