Chapter 22(Tension and confrontation)Alex's Point Of View:I laughed, "Oh come on.â.My phone rang and I picked it to see who it was. It was Dylan, I answered the call.âHey." Dylan's voice blasted out immediately I answered the call, his voice filled with panic.âOh. Hey,Dylan. Sup.â I said, smiling.âThe don⌠HeâŚ.. he's DEAD! He was murdered!â Dylan shouted, his voice breaking.My smile immediately melted away as the phone slipped away from his grip, falling to the floor.âWhat's wrong?" Hazel asked, immediately standing. I didn't reply, I was still trying to process everything.Shimmer stood also, holding me by my shoulder, âWhat's going on?" She asked, worry lingering in her eyes.Rachel just sat there, staring at us. âThe Don is dead." I whispered.Hazel denied, "TheâŚâŚdon? What?!! That's not possi-â,I chipped in, "He was murdered.âI whispered."This must be a joke. No one can murder such man. No, no, they must be playing games with you. I think you should wait and see yourself
Chapter 23(Shimmer's past secrets)Hazel's Point Of View:I returned into the hotel where the party was being held. I went to the deejay, turned off the music and grabbed a microphone.âThis party has come to an end. Kindly leave immediately.âI announced. They all groaned before some if them left one after the other, guiding the drunk ones out.Shimmer walked up to me. âHey. Why did you just kill the fun, huh?" She asked, smiling.Only if she knew I wasn't in for her jokes this time. âSorry about that. I just need to coordinate MY party but since I'm leaving now, everyone needs to or it will go on the whole night with the way things are going.â I replied."Oh. I can't actually believe you are Alex's wife, however I'm happy for you both. He finally found his partner even though it's obvious it's a CONTRACT.â She responded, forcing a smile. I raised my gaze further, feeling anger build up in me.âUhhâŚwhat's that supposed to mean?âI asked, laughing for a split second to cover my anger.
Chapter 23(Heartbroken) Hazel's Point Of View: She let out a sigh, âNo, I can't. Goodbye. My regards to Alexander." She said, immediately walking away. My nails dug into my palm as I stood, angered. âShit!" I mumbled before grabbing my bag and leaving immediately. I waited in the living room for Alex to return, after I changed into my silk nightgown. He finally arrived home, he didn't even bother sparing me two glances, he just moved along. I immediately stood, taking slow steps towards him. Who is she?â I asked. He halted, sighing but continued walking away He didn't really care, did he? He knew the truth and he wasn't willing to let me know. Just what do I even mean to him? I pulled him back, fighting my tears as I yelled âI said who is she?!". "Who? Who the fuck are you fucking ranting about?! Hazel! Shut the fuck up and get the fuck! I'm trying to calm myself, don't get on my nerves. Do not! Don't fucking dare me or I swear to God I willâŚ..âHe yelled, veins popping up on
Chapter 24(where is Alex)Hazel's Point Of View:He didn't reply to me, he only grabbed his coat from the hanger and left the house, slamming the door. Well, that confirmed his words. I meant nothing to him.I locked the door and went up the stairs to my room, burying my head in the fluffy sheets while I begged myself not to overthink it. We were only contracted couples, right?âOh, finally. You learned your actual worth." I heard a lady's voice. I immediately rose up, only to see the same Mysterious lady who appeared before us after the meal at the restaurant.âWhat do you want? Who are you? How did you get in?!" I asked.She chuckled, "As naive as I thought huh? Try exceeding my expectations darling.â."Who are you? I repeat, how the fuck did you get in?!â."Do you ask the shadow how it got in? I'm Camilla. I know you haven't heard my name yet but I've always been there watching you your whole life, just like your shadow. I got rid of Zara's pregnancy, you're welcome, you owe me one
Chapter 25(the black goths) Alex's Point Of View: âYou'reâŚ. leaving me here?â I asked. "Didn't you just say we have a threat and you areâŚ.. oh, I almost forgot I mean nothing to you.â. I scoffed before grabbing my jacket from the hanger and putting it on. Jamming the door, I exited the house, heading towards the car. As I Zion through the almost empty roads, I spotted a suspicious black car driving backwards. I looked into the car and spotted some men in black, one of them who had a cigarette in his hand and a scar over the bridge of his nose, was behind the wheels, driving. I spotted something in the car but before I could look further to see what it was, our cars zoomed off. I had a hunch but ignored it, though I had seen those eyes and that scar from somewhere. I arrived at the Don's house where all the men lived except for me. I entered the building, gathering all of them in the living room as I banged their doors while walking into the living room. They gathered and withou
Chapter 26(black eye)Hazel's Point Of View:They all trooped out of the room. Pain reverberated through me and I swear I felt my heart beating in my left eye that was barely opened.I barely heard, everything was faint and blurry, the only thing I could hear clearly was my pounding heartbeat.âDon't lay a finger on them. Let them leave and let's watch what they can dare do next time. Let them dare if they dare.â Alex shouted as he pressed his head back. I assumed he was speaking to his men who were probably in the living room.âYou can leave!" He shouted again. âThey're weaklings, that was quite a waste of time for us!".He then came to where I was lying seemingly lifeless."Are you okay?" He asked.I couldn't even lift a limb. âHow did they fuck you up this bad. Crap! You should have kicked them in the groin at least even though you'll still get hurt but now they won!â He groaned, picking me up from the ground so tenderly and laying me on the bed. âOh jeez. They even gave you a blac
Chapter 27(finding out the truth about Alex)Hazel's Point Of View:It took me about a week to recover and that one week was both the best week of my life and the worst week of my life.It was the best as I finally, finally! Got Alex's attention and care. But, on the other hand, it was the worst as Alex was sort of too clingy that I began to wonder if that would be how it would feel if Alex actually had true feelings for me.We planned on talking about our revenge on our packs and decided to start with his first then mine after his own becomes successful.We were only trying to plot a perfect plan when the party popper, Sophia of course, appeared all of a sudden and interrupted to announce her pregnancy, the same one Alex had rejected previously.âListen, Sophia. It's either you go give the child to the father, or you get rid of that thing, or I get rid of it myself with my own hands.â Alex's cold voice threatened.Sophia smirked, âYou have the privilege to choose for me and I'll cons
Chapter 29(sex toy)Hazel's Point Of View:'CRASH!â I heard as I squeezed my eyes shut. I felt my head hit the ground harshly. I winced in pain, opening my eyes slowly only to see Alex hovering above me.Our eyes intertwined as we laid on the floor with him on top of me and me in his arms. My jaw dropped, my neck snapping to the right side to look at the car that almost hit me.I gently pushed him off of me. He began to walk away without taking another glance at me. I got off the floor and chased after him. I spotted our car ahead which we both approached. He got in, slamming the door in what seemed like anger.I touched the door handle but had second thoughts. I took deep breaths before entering the car. I searched for the seatbelt but before I could reach it, something pulled my face forward and even before I could yelp, my lips clashed on a soft surface. My eyes flew open in shock only to realize that it was Alex who pulled me into a passionate kiss. I immediately pushed him back
