Elliot POV

Dropping Hazel home has become my new normal this week, after the best sex of my life in that swimming pool we haven’t done anything. She hasn’t invited me to her house, I pick her up from work, or from the hospital and drive her home and she never asks me if I want to come in. It’s like she is trying to avoid me without actually avoiding me.

Today is Hannah’s funeral. And I will be attending the damn thing with Hazel.

I look in the mirror as I adjust my black tie, when I hear a knock on the door, “Come in”, I let out and I see Everly walking into the room. She smiles as she closes the door behind her.

“Today is the day?”, she asks as she sits on the edge of the bed, and I nod my head. I absolutely hate this. After killing someone we usually send the clean-up team, we don’t go to their fucking fu

    Hazel POVElliot has been very quiet today, and I can tell he is shooting daggers with his eyes on Jesus’s way. At the Wake, Elliot stayed in the entire time in a corner looking like he is about to kill someone. I grab a plate with some food, and I take it to him. His eyes stop scanning the room and meet mine when I offer him the plate. I offer him a smile.“Thanks”, he says, and I nod my head.“That’s okay”, I say, as I stand next to him. His eyes keep scanning the room avoiding my own. I don’t know what’s inside his head, but I dread to think what it is. I know I told him I need to tell him something but I need to gather the courage because this is going to change my life.“Look”, I say to him, and without any more words, he wraps one arm around my waist and pulls me closer to him. I rest both my hands on his shoulder while he keeps a steady hand

Slowly she opens the building door and steps inside, opening the door wider. “Are you coming in?”, she asks. It’s the first time she has invited me up. She is smiling, and her eyes are shining. She offers me her hand, and I take it.I know I probably could’ve handled things a little differently back there. But hey, I am only human, and like any other man, I lose my shit when someone tries to touch a woman without her permission. That is a limit I will never cross. That is something I don’t tolerate.

I can feel the tears forming in my eyes as I grab Elliot’s arm. I am afraid of what they might do to him. I know he is as dangerous as Pavlov, but I am still scared he might get hurt.“Don’t do anything you might regret later”, I whisper into his ear as I wrap my arms around his neck, standing on my tip-toes. He bends down a little making me more comfortable as he wraps my arms around my waist. “ I don’t want to leave you with them”, he says as I pull away and cradle his face between my hands, looking him in the eyes.“They won’t hurt me”, I say before kissing him slowly on the lips.

I am scared he might end my life because I don’t have more information for him.I walk out of the kitchen with a fresh pot of coffee, and I drop it on the floor as soon as I walk out, and I see the guns pointed at me.

This is a test, Killian proposed to do this a while ago and I agreed, and today seems like a good day to do it. I am taking Hazel to that house pretending to be mine. As I drive into the garage to the spot I was given by the landlord I stop the car and open the door for Hazel. I offer her my hand and she takes it while I guide her to the lift. I press the button for the penthouse and tap my watch.When the doors open I look at Hazel and her eyes go wide.

I just don’t want to do this anymore, I like you, I really like you”, I say without even breathing because I am that nervous. Elliot keeps his eyes on me and I feel like he is reading my soul. He stands up and starts walking around the room, I get on my knees resting my stomach against the back of the couch watching him move, his body is tense and I can see the muscles of his back moving against the soft fabric of his t-shirt.“What did they ask you to do?”, He asks me, I guess he is trying to figure out if I am telling the truth. He crosses his arms in front of his chest as I take a deep breath, I lick my lips and regain the courage to speak. I know I will really get into tr

I look back at her and smile as I open the door of the closet. I step inside and she grabs the sheet from the bed and follows me. She looks like a greek goddess, wrapped in a white sheet around her body. She looks sexy and beautiful. Her hair messy in a bun makes it even sexier.“What is all of this?”, she asks as she steps inside and sees all the clothes hanging. Oh wow, Everly did a fucking great job with this place.“It’s yours”, I tell her as I wrap my arms around her waist from behind kissing the top of her head. She moves her hands slowly through the hanging fabric and then looks at me shaking her head.“I can’t accept this, it&rs

He’s only nineteen, and he is already married. I tried to keep him out of trouble, but trouble found him. His high school sweetheart. He is a man, and he is extremely responsible; it’s not like he is an inconsequent teenager. I don’t even think he was ever a teenager. He was always serious and very responsible towards his siblings and us.“You’re welcome, son. Have you said goodbye to your mother?”, I ask, and he shakes his head. I know that this will be the hardest thing Hazel has ever gone through, watching her firstborn son leave the country to follow his wife’s dream.“Not yet. Eliana is talking to mom”, he says, and I nod. She is not a bad girl. She was always trouble, though, she was a re

I am so grateful that none of my kids is involved in this life. They all just want to study and have nothing to do with it, and I am here for it. “I need you all to stay inside, and please, please don’t fight me on this one”, I say, and I can hear Hazel taking a deep breath on the other side. “I have another call”, she says before she puts me on hold and answers the other call. I swear to god, if it's Killian asking for her to go there, I am going to fucking lose it. “Babe, I got to go, Killian called. They were attacked”, she says, and I take a deep breath. “I asked you to sta

Joseph, the oldest one, is now ten, and he is becoming as bubbly as his mother, and I absolutely love it. He says he wants to be just like her when he grows up, and I swear I am so proud of him.“Kate, slow down”, I say, and she ignores me as she runs after Joseph, that is holding her doll hostage. “Give it back”, she shouts at him, and he laughs and holds it high above her head. Kate is short like Ashley, while Joseph, well, he is tall. He is taller than a normal ten-year-old. He is the tallest in his class.“Daddy”, Kate complains as Jo, my youngest one, watches as her older siblings fight over a doll.

He looks at me with an eyebrow raised, and I can’t help but laugh. “Come on”, I say, grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the living room towards the door.“I need my shoes, Hazel”, He says, and I roll my eyes. Men… Why are they never prepared? Killian called me in full-on panic mode. The man kills people for a living, and he deals with criminals and terrorists all the time, but his wife goes into labour, and he becomes a fairy that doesn’t know what to do.“Where is the kid?” he asks, and I roll my eyes.

I saw them together. I saw your mother telling my father she was pregnant with his child. Elliot’s dad lost his shit when he found out his best friend slept with the woman he loved, but he couldn’t do anything against his father, but he could against his mother. Your mother was already pregnant when she moved in with your stepfather”, Killian says, and I shake my head. I stand up and start pacing around while Elliot watches me. Killian stands and walks to me. “I was pissed at you, I wanted you gone; you were a constant reminder that my father fucked over my mother”, he says, and I understand that. But… what? “You’re…” I st

    Hazel POV“How have you been?” Ashley asks as we sit on the couch. I smile, looking at her, I missed her, and I missed Everly.“I am okay, I think. I was shocked when I saw a woman in the kitchen this morning”, I let out, and Ash frowned, looking at me.“A woman? What woman?” she asks, and I realise I didn’t explain myself properly. “Is he fucking serious?” she says, standing up. I grab her arm, and she sits back down while I try to explain to her.“No, not like that, calm down”, I say, and she looks at me confused and takes a deep breath sitting back on the couch.“It’s the new housemaid”, I say, and she nods. I can see the stress leaving her face, and she smiles.“Oh, Michaela? I forgot that she was working

    Elliot POV“I am sorry”, Hazel whispers, and I shake my head. She shouldn’t apologise, ever. She has no reason to. I am the one that fucked up, and I am the one that put her in danger, I am the one to blame. I cradle her face between my hands and look into her eyes. Her hazel eyes are shiny from the tears, and they are puffy and red. I feel regret in the pit of my stomach.“Don’t you ever apologise? It was all me, all my fault. I should’ve kept you by my side like you wanted to. I will be the one apologising to you for the rest of our lives”, I let out. The feelings are eating me alive. I have never felt like this before. This is a new feeling, this is new, and I don’t like it.“How about we both stop apologising?” She asks, and I realise if we want to move on, we need to leave the past in the past and keep loving each other. We need to keep making each other happy and fight for our love, fight for us.

    Hazel POVI feel Elliot’s hands moving up and down my bare back. I open my eyes to see him staring at me. I blink a couple of times, trying to adjust my eyes to the light that invades our bedroom from the window. I groan as Elliot pulls away, standing up. I frown, watching him, missing his touch already. I support my body on my elbows and watch him walk past me and into the bathroom. I flop back down, smirking at the image of his bare ass. He has a fantastic ass. I can’t get tired of it, and it's covered in marks from my nails. Scratches. I close my eyes, hugging my pillow.“We need to get up”, Elliot says as he walks back into the room, I can hear the water in the bathroom and I close my eyes shaking my head.“No, I’m tired”, I say, but Elliot straddles me, sitting on my ass and leans down, kissing my neck. I feel a shiver
