After talking to his mom, he came back to the meeting, smiling. His presence was required in the meeting of all the business tycoons of the Kingdom and outside the kingdom. He was heading it.
Every capitalist and industrialist was there with their assistant who was giving presentations about their business and up-coming ventures. But Ezequiel was listening to all of it half-heartedly. The idea of becoming a father was exciting but the mere thought of Hazel impregnated with his seed was more intriguing.
All those presentations were boring for his taste. Right now he could not wait to go and see his love. Her friends were supposed to come for congratulating her. She was happy with the idea and to share her enthusiasm he made bite sized sandwiches for them.
To stay low profile, he used to dress in a worn-out t-shirt and jeans but today for the meeting he had to dress formally.
He was still thinking about Hazel when someone beside him poked a litt
Hazel was sitting on a recliner chair placed on the small terrace when Ezequiel placed a steaming coffee cup near her.Hitting lightly on her slim but attractive buttock he asked her silently to move aside a little.“What are you thinking, princess!” He put his arm around her while settling beside her. She shook her head while hiding her face in the crook of his neck.“You squeezed the life out of me, sweetheart! What were you even thinking?” He looked at her head kissing it lightly.“I wanted to squeeze the life out of HIS balls. I don’t know what came over me.” She replied thinking.When Gordon stood behind her, dry humping her she could feel the anger and frustration building in on her. It reminded her of the se*xual abuse she faced in the palace kitchen by a cook. At that time she was almost a child who could not decide what to do at that moment. But the incident was quite traumatic to her.But n
When she reached home it was almost dark. But strangely enough, she was not feeling tired at all. Ezequiel was not home.She took shower and changed her clothes in a comfy pair of pajamas and Zek’s t-shirt. She thought of calling him then dropped the idea and decided to do some reading.Lying on her bed comfortably she started reading the book which was about her favorite genre: Werewolf!While reading it she did not know when her eyes fluttered closed and she went to sleep.And then it started again as if it was waiting. She was again dreaming. Whenever dead people visited her it was always dark with a little bit of light just to get the contours of the face.Her grandma, her parents, Albik and Alec. Whenever they visited her there was never enough light to see their faces properly or clearly.But this time it was different. There was no darkness in the room. This was not her usual apartment room but something more spacious and airy.
Due to her pregnancy, Ezequiel did not want her to travel so long in the car. In his werewolf form, he was faster than the car but he could not risk her health by subjecting her to another torture.A she-wolf could easily manage the werewolf ride without any problem in her pregnancy. But it was difficult for humans to bear this fast-paced speed.So he decided to go for the Royal Private jet.When she stepped inside she truly felt what royalty was… The interior, the décor… everything inside it was so classy.Once seated the pilot came to pay his respects accompanied by two beautiful air hostesses. Oddly enough both the air hostesses were friendly but respectful not trying to be flirty to Ezequiel. Like other women, they were not ogling at him.“Milord! I hope you and our guest Ms. Hazel Callum will have a safe trip.” He took off the cap and bowed his head a little and then turned to the ladies.He introd
King Lucas James and Queen Maria James were there to welcome them. Both of them hugged Ezequiel with big smiles, however, their meeting with her seemed more like a façade. There was no warmth but fake smiles.She met them with her head held high, confident in her skin. They might be the rulers but being a commoner doesn’t make her any less. Especially when she had got someone by her side who was crazy about her.His love had given her confidence. He taught her to trust herself and now she was not going to let him down. Their rooms were prepared in Ezequiel’s wing and that brought a fresh memory of Prince Noah’s death. Someone, she would never forget. He had still not visited her in her dreams but had spoken to her while warning her against any danger.And that reminded her of the female voice she heard last time in her dream. She had emphasized her to look around to find her. Whoever that woman was, she was somewhere near her.She
The dinner which was supposed to be awkward for Hazel thankfully turned out to be just fine with normal chit-chat.She sat beside Ezequiel who was making circles on her bare arm making her shiver while talking casually to his parents.“Oh, dear. I want to throw a grand party to celebrate your engagement. Everyone in this Kingdom should know about our soon-to-be daughter-in-law.” Maria looked at Lucas James for approval.“She is right. You two should stay long enough to do it.”“But …” Hazel eyed Ezequiel with worry, “This is too soon. We never thought about getting engagement anytime soon.”“Then my dear you should start thinking. We can order your engagement dress on an urgent basis. Our men can arrange a quick grand celebration on short notice. You need to make up your mind.”Hazel wanted to argue again when Ezequiel tightened his grip on her hand, asking her silently to st
‘Nothing will happen. It would pass. It would pass. It’s nothing. Clara also faced it. But she is perfectly fine with still a healthy pregnancy. It will pass.” She was chanting the words to herself.When Ezequiel reached her inside the bathroom upon her call, the blood was dripping down her legs. It took her down the memory lane when she got her first period but the only difference was, Zeki was blind at that time.He carried her all the way to the hospital wing of the palace. Waiting for the doctor in their chambers seemed risky at the moment.She was at once taken care of and was admitted to the hospital. Once she was cleaned and settled, the tests were run on an immediate basis.“What is exactly happening with my body?” She was worried because she was still bleeding down there. It could not be called spotting.“Unfortunately we need to wait till tomorrow noon, Ms. Hazel. As soon as we look at your reports then
She was sitting on the terrace sipping the beer from a can, looking at the sea, enjoying the balmy breeze when someone came and took the beer can from her hands.“I am finished, man. I am done…” She leaned back her head and closed her eyes, “I am so done. They have turned against me. The friendly folks are no more there, who were calling me their daughter-in-law. Can you believe this? Before the news of me being NOT pregnant, they were planning a grand engagement party.” She laughed sarcastically.“But now they are again treating me like a no one. So that makes me stand again where I started. Back to square one.”She was not crying but she was so upset that she would not mind killing one or two suckers from the palace.“I was never a fan of becoming someone prominent or being the center of attention. But why do they think that it’s their fuc*king right to take away my self-respect? Why?”
She could not get a good sleep. Though Ezequiel had been disturbed by her continuous tossing and turning in bed but he did not complain.This morning he brought her breakfast in bed with every intention to spend the day with her but unfortunately was called for urgent meetings.“I am canceling the meeting.”“No Zeki. Don’t. I am perfectly fine.”“I don’t want to leave you alone honey.”“You should.” She tried to stuff her mouth with a half-left croissant on her tray, “Please go ahead with your meetings. You have got some very handsome staff here. I need to flirt with them.”Ezequiel choked badly on his coffee, “Are you kidding me?”Placing his cup aside he held her hair a little roughly and kissed her. There was no hurry. He took his sweet time to taste her lips and mouth as if he was trying to mark his territory.Hmm. So mister is jealous. She
