Hazel POV
Elliot has been home almost one day and hasn’t woken up yet. He has been having some nightmares, I assume, and he screams and kicks on the bed. His eyes moved rapidly under his eyelids. I haven’t been able to sleep as I keep watching him. The doctor said he was extremely dehydrated, and she put him on fluids via IV and now, I am here, sitting on the bed next to the man I love while he says another woman’s name in his dreams.
“Andrea”, he whispers, and I feel my stomach twisting and turning. Theo told me he wasn’t with her while they were together, but who can guarantee that they weren’t together after that when he left Theo and Killian and disappeared on his own?
I stand up, put down my book on the bedside table, walk into the adjacent bathroom and get the flannel wet again before walking back to bed and sitting on my knees while I place the flannel on Elliot&rsq
Hazel POV “Why is everyone telling me to be patient, and to trust him, and to be open-minded, but no one tells me anything? I am scared, I don’t know what to expect, and I keep having this bad feeling that I am going to lose him,” I blurt out, and Everly shakes her head while she breaks some eggs into a bowl. “He would never hurt you on purpose”, she says, and I shake my head as I place it between my hands. Everly and Theo left not long after I finished eating and had a small nap. I really needed it, and now I feel a little bit better after having a shower. I walk back into the bedroom to find Elliot sitting on the edge of the bed without the IV on his arm. His body glowing from the sweat, but he is still sweating a lot; maybe his body trying to get rid of the toxins from the drugs. I still can’t believe he used heroin. I shake my head slightly, pushing those thoughts away. “Doc just left”, he says, and I nod as I walk past him wrapped in the fluffy white towel. I walk into the d
Elliot POV“He was two years old, I was working late, and Andrea kept calling me, she needed to go to work, but I got stuck on a lookout, and I couldn’t even answer my phone, so she decided to take Heath to the safe house so she could go to work”, I let out as Hazel nods her head “There was always someone there that would look after him, he was the only baby at the time, and everyone wanted a baby cuddle”, she nods again. I can’t believe I am actually talking about this. This is the first time in ten years that I am talking about Heath and about Andrea.“Problem is that she was high. She thought I was going to be home before she left, so she used”, I let out. I can tell Hazel was taken aback by this as she rested a hand on top of mine as her eyes met mine. Those beautiful and caring eyes look right back into my soul.“She was in an accident, and he died, he die
Hazel POV“Are you ready?” I hear Elliot asking through the door. I look at myself in the mirror and realise I have been through so much in the last few months that signing this contract is nothing compared to what I have been through. I smile politely and open the door, already faking the smile I will be presenting to Killian.I have a strange feeling that he doesn’t like me, I don’t know why, but the way he looks at me sends shivers down my spine; his cold blue eyes always seem like he is planning my death. I hate the way he looks at me, and it really freaks me out; the man is massive and never speaks. I honestly don’t know what Ashley saw in him. She is a plus-size beauty, and he looks like a beast. They are the true definition of beauty and the beast.“You look beautiful,” Elliot says, kissing me on the top of my head as he wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me clo
Hazel POV“Wake up, sleepy head”, I hear Ashley says as she opens the thick curtains from the hotel room. I cover my head with the blankets in protest. “Come on, and breakfast is ready”, she says, pulling the blankets away from me.“Argh, why?” I let out in frustration opening my eyes. She smiles at me from the end of the bed.“Today is an important day, and we have so much to do, so come on, breakfast is ready”, she says again, and I move on the bed, hanging my legs. Slowly I get out of bed and walk into the bathroom. When the bright light turns on, I flinch in pain. Headache. I think I had too much to drink last night. I know not a great idea to get drunk the day before your wedding day, but well, I did.I put my hair up into a ponytail and wash my face before walking back out and into the small dining room area we share between our rooms. This is like an ap
Hazel POV“We will figure out who did this, there are already five dresses coming this way for you to choose, I know it’s not the same, but you could Mary me wearing trainers and joggers, and I would find it the most beautiful thing ever”, He says, and I nod my head.“I love you”, I whisper.“I love you too, Bebe, " he whispers back before kissing me deeply.I keep my eyes shut as he puts me down and leaves me in the room. “Come on, fix her make-up and hair”, Ashley says, and I feel a couple of hands pulling me to the chair. I look in the mirror to see that the beautiful makeup is gone because of the tears.When I am all done, there’s another knock on the door and a clothes rail is rolled into the room. I smile at the options I am shown. There’s a dress that is very similar to mine but doesn&r
Elliot POV“Congratulations mate,” Theo says as he pulls me in for a hug. I smile as Everly walks to me and pulls Theo away and wraps her arms around my neck. “Congratulations moody”, she says and I smile kissing the top of her head.“Thank you, shorty”, I reply and she smiles. I keep my arm around Hazel as we walk towards the ballroom where the party is being held.Theo and Everly walk in front of us and they announce our entrance. Hazel is shaking and when inside she walks straight to her mother and hugs her tightly. Then she bends down talking to her while I smile and walk towards Killian thanking everyone on the way that congratulates us. I hate this kind of stuff, but hey ho, it is my wedding day.“What is fucking Pavlov doing here?”, I ask through greeted teeth facing Killian and he smiles.“Bureaucracy, mate”, he says, and I shake my
Hazel POV“Andrea is working for Pavlov, she had pictures of your meetings with him, and she showed them to me, so I had to react”, Elliot says. I think my brain has stopped working as I look at the three guys in front of me. Killian with his hands crossed in front of his chest and Theo with his in his pockets. How is that even possible? How would Pavlov know to find Andrea? If she had all her life erased from social media, and I didn’t mention her and obviously he didn’t hear from Elliot himself.“And you knew?”, I ask Theo and Killian who automatically shake their heads at the same time. Of course, they didn’t know, I would like to think that if they knew they would’ve handled the situation before it got to this point.“Nope, but if he did something, he had a reason, and let’s face it, we all wanted to sl
Hazel POV“Good morning”, I say as I move on the bed, rolling to face Elliot, that is lying in bed with his glasses resting on his nose. His naked body is beautiful in this light.“Morning, beautiful”, he says, looking at me and smiling. I stretch my arms, and when I am about to get out of bed, he pulls me into his arms, wrapping his strong and toned arms around my body. I smile against the pillow. His chest against my back and his erection pressing just at the right spot.“I need to have a shower. I have classes today”, I whisper, and he grunts against my neck.“We’re still on our honeymoon”, he complains, and I smile. I roll and look into his eyes, and he looks very serious as he watches me.“Says the guy that went out last night without telli
