ONYX'S POV: I stayed awake all night and now, it was dawn and there was no news of her whereabouts. I was extremely worried and my body told me I was no matter how I tried to deny it. Last night, I had reflected on a lot of things especially what my father had said. I brought this upon myself. I hadn't listened to their warning and even the stories they told me about Selah's mother. I thought she was different. I thought she would notice those vices and change but she had held onto it. She had decided to work with her mother. I closed my eyes and sighed. Cherry knew I was angry and she hadn't bothered to come to my study. She knew what my reaction would be as she was the partial cause of all these. If she hadn't humiliated Hazel, maybe she wouldn't have gone up to her room in hurt and angry. Earl and Theresa were really worried. Even Nykon had asked about her. Last night, I had asked that everywhere be sealed so we could check if everyone was around as
CHAPTER 80 SELAH'S POV; The whole plan had gone so well that at that point, I thought I was in a dream. But this was reality. It was happening for real. My mother had helped in kidnapping the bane of my existence and the stumbling block to my glory. Tuchel had suggested taking her to his hideout before he was caught and was sentenced to prison while telling us that we were making him go back to his vomit. Well, it didn't matter because we had paid him for it. Even better than he had been able to rob collectively and I knew that there was no way he could turn our offer down. I mean, it was five grand. Not anyone could get it at a go. Well, except for Stella whom I had given Ten grands. She hasn't been executed yet and I wonder what she's experiencing behind closed doors. We were in a small warehouse that had probably been used years ago to store things. Well, Tuchel had bought it at a really low price and turned it to his hideout. This place wa
CHAPTER 81 HAZEL'S POV; I was crouched over, sobbing and shivering. I didn't know what was going to happen to me but I knew it was going to be more terrible than I had ever experienced. Onyx had never for once taken advantage of me sexually and now, this man was telling Selah and the woman who looked exactly like her that he wanted me. That alone was able to make me squish myself into a ball, shivering and clattering my teeth as they left. I heard the sound of a belt opening up and my heart began to race. I wasn't built for all these. I had managed to endure the maltreatment I had gotten from Onyx and his sister only to face this from the woman he used to be in love with in the past. Immediately, my eyes flew open and that was when I saw that he was half naked from below. He was an old man and it showed in the white, wiry hairs of his manhood area. I had never felt so irritated in my life as I watched him draw close to me with his erection so obvious for
CHAPTER 82 HAZEL'S POV; My feet itched. It was something that usually happened each time I stepped into dirty water without wearing anything. I was so invested in the nasty itching of my feet that I nearly stumbled to the floor but the rogue was quick to catch me in his arms. I immediately pushed away from him and stood far away, taking a stance of defense. I hadn't forgotten that I was good at combat and even if he would end up beating me, at least I would die knowing that I defended myself at least. He raised his hand to the air. That was to tell me that he meant no harm. "I am not here for you like I said. I came for Tuchel," "How do you know him?" I stuttered. The rogue lowered his hand and I studied him as he spoke. He had Chestnut brown hair and his eyes were the green of seas, nearly translucent. He looked like he couldn't harm a fly but I had seen what he had done to Tuchel. Even if I was glad that he was dead, I didn't trust this man. Rogu
CHAPTER 83 ONYX'S POV; A day had passed and Hazel hadn't been found yet. My warriors had gone past the boundaries in search of a petite lady with honey blond hair and porcelain blue eyes but no one had seemed to see her around. Things were getting confusing as hours passed. At one point, news got relayed to me that it wasn't Selah and her mother that orchestrated the kidnap. It had all been Tuchel's idea and he had carried it out alone. But that wasn't the case when I went to visit Selah's father. He had told me that they left with his car and a huge sum of money from him. I was being stressed out by this and I couldn't concentrate on other affairs I had to attend to. All day, I had stayed awake in my office, sparsely eating and barking commands at everyone. Even Cherry had avoided me throughout the whole time. I was absentmindedly leafing through a book when I heard a knock on the door. I immediately stood to my feet and strode towards the door, pulli
ONYX'S POV; As I walked back into the palace, I found Cherry standing in the middle of the large living room. She was dressed in her night dress, meaning she was either just waking up now or she had been in her room all morning, in her bed. When she saw me, her eyes lit up and she walked towards me. I stopped before her, giving her the same cold look I had been giving her since the day Hazel was kidnapped; the previous night. "Hey," She said softly and fiddled with the hem of her outer coat. "I heard she's back," "Of course, she is," I said and folded her arms. "Are you here to congratulate me?" She shook her head immediately. "No! That's not what I am here for. I just want to say I'm really happy that nothing happened to her. It's all my fault and I should apologize to her profusely." I shook my head. "I don't think that's what she needs right now. She needs to be on her own. She just returned after going through a lot of rubbish. You're the last person
CHAPTER 85 HAZEL'S POV; I was cleaned so thoroughly by the maids and quite shocked at how nice they were to me. It was a rarity. I had expected them to be irritated at the way I looked because I had stayed here for months, getting judgemental and degrading looks for them. One of the maids even offered to serve me dinner and told me a story about a girl that was raped to death by one of the robbers, deeming me a lucky one. I had smiled stiffly at her, hoping she would shut up. Her story didn't lift my spirits in any way. Infact, it made things worse. How did she think telling me a worse story of another girl being raped to death would sound? Absolutely terrible. So after they had cleaned me up and gave me a change of clothes, I stayed in my bed, languid and not wanting to do anything but stay wide awake or try to sleep. It wasn't until my meal was brought to me that I realized that I was really hungry and hadn't eaten since last night. I smiled at
CHAPTER 86 HAZEL'S POV; I kept on studying the peach box that sat on my thighs, feeling a strange feeling wash over me. I knew who had sent it and I don't know why I felt so giddy about it. I was supposed to be mad at him but I couldn't be. These notes, the chocolate and the flowers. They were too elaborate for him to give me. He had never given me flowers and seeing that he had even sent a handwritten note to me made me feel a certain type of way. I stared at it for a long time before I heard a knock that had me on my feet. I walked to the door and stood there, staring at the knob and hoping it was Onyx standing there with an explanation of this elaboracy. I was quite disappointed to see Theresa standing at the door but I said nothing. I smiled at her and admitted her into the room. "I came to see you. Done with chores and the last thing I want to do is spend time with my friend." I smiled at her and she pulled me into a hug. It felt so relievin
