Elliot POV

“Good morning”, I whisper, wrapping my arms tighter around Hazel’s body. Her body reacts to my touch, and she stiffens, burying her head deeper into her pillow. I frown, watching her as she pulls away from me.

I take a deep breath and sit on the edge of the bed. I pass my hands through my hair and take a deep breath before standing up and walking to the window. I open the blinds, and New York City appears on the outside. The snow is falling, and I shake my head. I walk towards the bathroom and can see through my peripheral vision that Hazel has her eyes on my naked body. But she’s been behaving very odd lately.

Since the argument in her house and the fantastic sex we had, she has been pushing me away. She keeps going to the hospital every day and then to class, and that’s about it. She is not talking to me properly and is definitely not behaving as usual. I open the shower door and turn the water on,

    Hazel POVWhen we reach the safe house, Elliot wraps his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him as if he is afraid I am going to disappear into thin air. We walk into the house, and some people walk past us, people I have never seen before, but they all greet Elliot, and he knows all their names as he greets them one by one.“Killian in the office?” he asks one of the older men that walks past us.“Yes, and he is not in a good mood”, he says, and Elliot scoffs.“When is he?” he asks before pulling me towards the office. We walk up the stairs, and when we reach the double doors, we can hear his voice coming from the inside. He really is in a lousy mood. Whoever is on the other end of all that shouting, I feel bad for them. I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that.Elliot pinches the bridge of hi

    Hazel POV“Are you ready to go?”, Elliot asks, and I nod my head. I close my eyes momentarily, resting my head against his broad chest. I take a deep breath as he wraps his arms around me tightly.“I don’t like doing this”, I let out as I pull away from Elliot. He nods before he opens the car door for me. As I slide inside, I take a deep breath, and he closes the door. I requested an Uber from my house after Elliot drove me back. We can’t really order one from the safe house. Pavlov could track it.When we reached the diner, I walked out of the car, thanking the driver that was talking to me all the way there. I hear the bell ringing as I open the door, and I smile as I watch the regular clients sitting in their usual spots.I start walking towards Joe and spot Angel in one of the booths. His eyes meet mine, and he smiles.

    Hazel POVElliot moves fast in the room, and I blink a couple of times as I see him putting on his jeans. I sit on the bed, pulling the sheet up to my chin and watching him. I have just woken up, and all these movements is making me a little confused. What the hell is going on? It’s early as I look at the watch, it’s only four in the morning, and Elliot is sprinting like he is late to catch a plane.“Fuck”, he hisses, and I frown.“What’s going on?”, I ask, and he walks to me and kisses me lightly before putting on his t-shirt covering his beautiful body. I will never get tired of watching him move, the way his muscles flex and move as he moves to make my entire body react to the sight of him.“Shit hit the fan, and I have to go. Stay here, don’t go anywhere. It’s not safe”, he says, and I frown again. I hate when he becomes this overprotective person.“I have school, and I nee

    Hazel POV“I am not going to hurt you. I just need to talk to you”, Angel says, and I take a deep breath. I unlock the door and see him holding a gun and scratching his head with it. My eyes go wide, and he smiles, looking at me.“Why did you call him? You know I would never hurt you”, Angel says, and I frown again, trying to come up with a plan. How did he find out where I was and how did he get in here? Where is the security that always stays guarding outside, and how did he find me?Angel has his gun in his hand on the side. I watch as he looks at me, and then he starts pacing around. I watch as he passes his hand over the bed, and I look around, trying to find something I can throw at his head. But I can’t really find anything. Fucking minimalistic decor.“Why are you sharing a bed with him?” Angel asks, but I stay quiet where I am standing. He looks at me with

    Elliot POV“I need a drink”, I let out as I flop back down on the chair in Killian’s office, resting my feet on the coffee table in front of me. Theo nods his head while Killian grabs a bottle for us to share. I grab the glass he passes over, and Theo grabs his.“Here”, Killian says, pouring the liquid gold into my glass. I down it straight away and close my eyes heavily as the liquid burns all the way down.“Fucking hell, what the fuck is that?” I ask, looking at the bottle. I have never seen this before, but I can tell you now that it burns like a bitch.“That’s a Brazilian liquor called cachaça”, Killian says, and I scrunch my nose, pouring another portion on my glass and downing it again.“Fuck me sideways,” Theo says, and I can’t help but chuckle at the face he is

I place my hands on top of the bleeding wound and put pressure on it. “Elliot, baby”, I cry, but no response, his breathing is superficial, and he is getting colder.“Elliot, please, open your eyes”, I cry as I put more pressure on the wound, but I see blood coming out from the back.“Move”, Theo says as he starts dealing with the wound, and I place both my hands on top of my heart which is beating fast, faster than it ever has. I feel like I could collapse at any minute. I feel the tears streaming down my face, and I look back to see Angel passed out on the floor with a bleeding leg. I run to

I shake my head slowly, opening my eyes again, and I see Theo standing in front of me.“Hey”, he whispers, and I sit up straight. My back hurts, and I look around, and I realise I have fallen asleep in the waiting room. Everyone is still here. Some in groups chatting, Killian is standing next to Ashley, getting some coffee from the coffee machine, and Everly is asleep next to me.“Is he okay?” I ask, rubbing my hands over my face.“He’s okay, stable. Why don’t you go see him? We’ve all been there”, he says, and again I feel the tears threatening to spill. I shake my head as I hold on to his hoodie that I have on.“I can’t”,

The bright lights are blinding me and I groan in pain.I try to speak but there’s something on the way. I open my eyes and I start looking around and when they notice I am awake a nurse places a hand on my shoulder. “Mr O’More, please don’t try to speak”, she says and I look around. Only moving my eyes as my entire body hurts, I feel like I have fucking run over a fucking train. What the fuck?All of a sudden all the memories come back to me. Hazel, Angel, the way she was talking to him and touching him. How she chose him and I put my gun down, how he smirked and shot me. The bastard.

    Elliot POV“Thank you, dad”, Jasper says, shaking my head. I nod as I watch him walk over to the girl's wife. I can’t believe my oldest son is married. 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

    Elliot POV “Where are you?” I ask as soon as Hazel answers the phone. “We’re home; why?” she says, and I can tell she is chewing on something, and I take a deep breath. 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

There’s another war brewing, and I don’t like this at all. We had peace for so long that now we are all on high alert.We’re going to a mafia meeting. Killian can’t attend as he has had a target on his back lately. Joseph is growing up to be a great man, he is in training, and Killian is giving him his everything.

    Killian POV“Kids, stop running”, I shout as my three kids with Ashley start running through the corridor towards Ashley’s office. 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. Jo is a lot like me, quiet, she pays attention to everything, and her eyes scan e

    Hazel POV“Come on, and we have to go”, I shout at Elliot, that is coming out of the kitchen like nothing is going on. 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. Their older baby Joseph is a sweetheart.“He’s with the nanny. They had her on call”, I reply, and he nods, walking into our bedroom to get his shoes. H

    Hazel POV “That’s not possible”, I let out, and Elliot rests one hand on my knee. “My mother told me she had an affair with Elliot’s dad, and then she met my dad, and she went to live with him, got pregnant, and Ell’s dad lost it, he tried to kill her”, I let out and Killian nods. “Yes, that’s the official story, but no one told me. 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
