2024-10-29 19:42:56"Rick? I really didn't expect you to be here."
They haven't seen each other in a long time. Maybe more than eight months after their talk in court. Rick then disappeared and never appeared in front of her again. Rumor has it that he has opened a law firm out-of-town specializing in criminal matters.
“Hey Hazel, you look a lot better and—” Rick gestured at her bulging belly then smiled widely at Hazel's amazing pregnancy.
"And what?"
"And chubby. I didn't say you were fat," Rick said, looking innocent.
Hazel immediately pursed her lips at those words. Lately many people say she is fat. Especially her annoying husband, Calvin! Oh my gosh, the guy kept rebuking her if she started eating sweet snacks at night. Whose fault is this though? Huh, that sucks! Even though having baby was her wish too. But he often teased her and made her grumble when he started talking about being overweight.
“I always get annoyed every time I hear that word. So

Hazel closed her suitcase firmly and pulled the zipper at both ends without hesitation. This decision was unanimous. She will leave here forever and lead a new— more pleasant life. There's no more Rick in her life. From now on they will each live their lives as two different individuals.Hazel took one more look at her room before pulling her suitcase off the bed. For the last time she would look at the interior of the room she had occupied for the past two years. Now the room looked like the first time she had occupied it, so empty, so quiet. It had only one large bed in the middle of the room, and two large windows with white curtains facing the highway that ran below Rick's apartment. Then at the far right there is a wooden door that directly connects it to the bathroom. Now this room doesn't belong to her anymore. A woman would soon replace her to become the owner of this room. Just like Rick's heart. The man was no longer hers."Hazel...""I'm here, R

Three days ago~ The tension in the investigation room was sickening. Several people shouted loudly, pointing at the pile of papers lying on the table. Five people in investigator uniforms entered the room several times to deliver some evidence that had been secured from the shooting scene. There is a 9 mm caliber pistol wrapped in a clear adhesive plastic which is positioned on the main table. The gun is a murder weapon. At least that's what the investigative team said today, walking in and out of the room with various items brought from the Duffal family's stately home. In addition to the 9 mm pistol, there is also a bloodstained handkerchief which has now turned brown. The shooting took place yesterday afternoon at seven o'clock, just as the billionaire's family was about to have a traditional family dinner. Unfortunately before the head of the family could sit in his chair, someone named Calvin McAdam suddenly burst

Many greeted Hazel as she strode down aisle after aisle of the bustling prosecutor's office. The news of the murder of the billionaire family practically made all the prosecutors busy gathering evidence. This morning Hazel also had the chance to see the news about the mayor shouting to the media that he wanted the killer of the billionaire family to be caught immediately. The public is now anxiously awaiting the judgment for the defendant which will be carried out tomorrow morning. Several colleagues who knew about tomorrow's trial specifically contacted her and asked her to give Calvin McAdam a proper sentence. Some even directly ordered him to be sentenced to death. The door at the far end of the room was pulled violently from the inside. A tall man with a body that is not too bulky, came out of the room in a condition that could not be said to be fine. His slender body and sunken eyeballs gave off a terrifying gloom, like he was one of the unhappy male characters in a hor

The door to the cramped elevator was about to close before the toe of someone's shoe stopped it and caused the elevator door to open again. "Hi." Rick greeted Hazel kindly and got into the elevator with Hazel, who immediately leaned closer to the elevator wall. Several people who saw Rick enter openly voiced protests that Rick was making the elevator even more crowded. But Rick's thick face was completely unfazed by whatever protest was being carried out for his actions just now. "How are you?" Rick started the small talk with a smile on his face. "I'm fine, Rick. You don't have to worry about me. " "In fact, I'm always worried about you. Since you moved out of my apartment two months ago, I haven't stopped to think about some of your carelessness." Hazel glanced slightly at the people who were listening to their conversation. Even though she seemed to pretend to be busy with her cellphone, she knew that some people in the elevator wer

"Mommy..." Hazel still remained where she was, glancing warily at little Emily who was standing near the open door of her bedroom hugging Mr. Bunny. Calvin's piercing eyes in the darkness gleamed like the eyes of a hungry cat. No! Hazel screamed inwardly, screaming Emily's name for the little girl to run away for help. From her standing position, the little girl certainly couldn't see the threat from the presence of a foreign man who was now ensnaring her mother's body. “This gun can crush that kid's head if you don't act wise, Judge Hayes. Now stay here, and let me get rid of that nuisance rat.” Hazel tried to hold Calvin's hand still hanging over her head. Through her face, Hazel made a deep plea for Calvin not to hurt her little Emily. She tried to grab the man's hand. The sting that tickled her stomach made her gasp for a moment. But she assumed she wasn't the only one who felt a shock like an electric shock. She could see the man's pupils dilate

Richmond walked unsteadily into his dark-looking house. All day he did a lot of emotional work. Many parties in the prosecutor's office are concerned about the murder of the Duffal family. He thought, why do they take care of people who have died, even fuss over their abundant wealth. Richmond felt like stuffing their mouths one by one as they started arguing near his ringing ears. Today he had a terrible headache. His brain, which had been forced to work for almost twenty-four hours, made him experience nervous tension in the back of his head, causing his head to throb with pain. "You're home." The flat greeting from his wife was something he was very familiar with. Their marriage is already on the line. However, he is still grateful for his wife's decision, which until now has not sent a divorce letter. The specter of children who have always been their problem. Somehow his wife was demanding too much on him to do this and that close

"What?" asked Hazel in surprise. She was still busy in her thoughts when the man suddenly said something nearby."Stand up. What time is it now?"“Four,” Hazel said angrily. She had lost her precious rest time because of that man. And don't know what will happen when the sun starts to appear. What is clear is that she cannot continue like this and become the man's puppet. She had to run away."Don't touch my hand!"Calvin ignored her screams. The man kept pulling her, half dragging her to her feet. And she was quite exhausted when she walked after the man because her bare feet stepped on a lot of papers. After this she had to spend hours of her time cleaning up all the mess Calvin had made. Really damn-troublesome guy."We still have time.""What time?" Hazel asked cluelessly."You'll find out later."Calvin forcibly grabbed Hazel's biceps and pushed her out of her study. The lights in the living room were not turne

The first-class prison building is being shaken by the escape of the dangerous prisoner, Calvin McAdam, from one of the cells that is claimed to be a special cell that has the most advanced security level. The pride of the police is now the same as being dropped by Calvin, who in fact is just a driver. The high-ranking police officers then held a meeting to immediately arrest the prisoner, whose whereabouts are still unknown.“Journalists have been swarming around like ants who have just gotten a lump of sugar. They are busy broadcasting in front of the building to pry into the depravity that has occurred in this prison.”One of the top police officers shouted angrily, scolding all the night shift cops who were incompetent at their jobs, causing one prisoner to escape.Richmond was in the center of the crowd, watching everyone blaming each other without anyone moving to quickly find Calvin. Now he was furious. His job will be even harder with Calvin'

Hiding among the tall tree trunks in silence and the drizzling rain that made his coat wet slowly was something annoying. This is not an option, it is a must. He had to wait there long enough for the person he was looking for to appear. But waiting is not fun. It's more like disgusting. He had never been this irritated by anyone before. And the girls he had seen playing in front of the terrace had been called in by a woman he didn't know. It wasn't Hazel of course. Hazel would always be with Calvin and would stick together like postage stamps and letters. And if the girls not been called into the house, he would have at least still had a more beautiful sight to behold than the dark surroundings and the occasional noise of the nocturnal beasts. A chill slowly began to creep over his skin from the wet coat he had been wearing for hours. He wanted to give up and go back to his warm car. But what if that person comes? Hadn't he been waiting for hours for that person? So he ignor

Pine street is very busy. The tourists crowded the sidewalk and were busy taking pictures with whatever objects they encountered on the side of the road. The colorful walls in front of the bakery, statues, walls full of disgusting chewing gum, even wooden benches on the sidewalk are also the targets of tourists to take pictures. There is nothing on pine street that doesn't look attractive to the tourists. Jason laughed amused at the strangeness that was happening in front of him. How ridiculous these people are, Jason thought giggling. It's better to take pictures with beautiful women in nightclubs than to take pictures with inanimate objects on the sidewalk who must be sick of them. Walking leisurely, Jason then turned into a narrow alley beside a nightclub. Today he was going to deliver a package to a European man who was stopping in Seattle on business. Once this area was controlled by a Mexican man who is very well known as the most dangerous mafia in this place.

Catherine was just about to tell the girls to go inside and clean up their toys that were scattered on the veranda when her instincts began to tell her of the dangers around her. Cautiously she swept her eyes all over Calvin's house. She looked closely at the giant trees in front of Calvin's house which suddenly looked scary to her. A gripping fear began to affect her brain so she quickly took action to lead the girls into the house. "Hurry in, your lunch will be cold if you don't come in soon." "What's on our lunch menu today, Aunt Kathy?" “Cheese burger with beef. Come on in quickly." "Yiippiee..." Emily shouted with joy and immediately dashed into the house. While the girls had trodden toward the dining table, Catherine was still standing in the doorway watching the area around Calvin's house that she found a little suspicious. The sound of rustling leaves suddenly increased Catherine's vigilance. Her eyes fiercely moved left and right, sca

Hazel stared at the modern-style two-story building in front of her, squinting. Before actually getting out of the car, she tried to make sure once again the address listed on the document was the same as the address written on the mailbox in front of the house. "Looks like this is her house." "Then let's go down." Calvin parked his car in front of the house and immediately stepped outside, taking a deep breath of cold air. Suddenly he became congested and also pounding because this house was their last stop before they could decide what to do next. As he and Hazel drove to the house, they had a discussion about what they would do if it turned out to be the Millers or if Millers wasn't the terrorizer. Thinking about it made him nervous. Previously he had also shown the cctv camera footage at the hospital to Hazel. According to Richmond's suggestion, he tried to watch the cctv footage again on his cell phone. And from the video he got a clue. Whether t

“I don't know if these kinds of things are necessary? Oh come on Calvin, I'm just pregnant, not invalid." Calvin didn't care at all about Hazel's long tirade ever since they came out of his house in the middle of the woods. Even if she didn't like his exaggeration or whatever he was doing to her right now, he would still do it. The people around them looked at them with confused looks and the rest gave them strange looks because he was so overprotective of Hazel that he had to hold her hand every time she took one step forward and even when climbing stairs. "You should be on bed rest, not wandering around the court." "Oh my God, I'm fine. My baby is fine too. No need to overdo it like this. After all I know this place as well as I know myself. Get your hands off it, Calvin! I can walk alone.” "Shut up Hazel. There's a rock in front of you, you could stumble." Hazel pursed her lips in annoyance and got even more annoyed when Calvin pulled her s

What does a man without a job usually do in the morning? Lazing in front of the house while enjoying a cup of coffee that is still steaming thin. The cold morning air lulled him along with the sound of rustling leaves that fell and littered his yard.But he couldn't really relax in this sitution. He had to think of something for his plan to take revenge on the judge. The last attempt to harm the judge had failed. Still he credited himself for sneaking into the hospital and creating such a mess that the bitch shuddered on the floor. At least it made his heart a little satisfied even though he failed to kill the judge. He thought that now his ambition had escalated from wanting to hurt the judge to wanting to kill the judge. Several of his colleagues told him yesterday at the bar that the judge had a big hand in changing his life. From an independent man with abundant money and a harmonious family to a poor ugly man who was abandoned by his family. If the judge hadn't made the

"Hey, am I bothering you?" At ten o'clock Hazel showed up in Calvin's garage to meet the man who had just finished checking on the cars. He quickly closed the hood as Hazel slowly walked towards him, avoiding the car repair kits that were splattered on the floor. "What's wrong with your car?" "There's no problem whatsoever. I just haven't made any repairs for them in a long time." Hazel's gaze swept over to Calvin's four cars neatly lined up in his garage. Two shiny-looking sports cars, a white Range Rover SUV, and a heavy track car with giant-sized wheels that were almost as big as her. “Nice collection.” “I like cars. Usually I will exchange it for a new one if interested in a new car. They haven't been here more than five years," Calvin said with a dismissive shrug. "I guess I'm quite sentimental about cars. The car I used to use was almost ten years old. And I don't intend to replace it until the car is completely broke."

After a long day of playing and forgetting for a moment all the problems that have been haunting his life lately, it's time to get back to facing the reality of that damned terror. Even so, he didn't deny that he liked his new role now as an uncle and perhaps a father to the girls. After a very exciting lunch today, he and the girls then went to the woods. They walked past the big trees which looked scary to Zinny and Emily, but they wouldn't be afraid because he was with them. He would protect the little girls from monsters or anything that would disturb them. Looks really cool. Whereas before he didn't feel really cool when he spilled blood on the battlefield or killed someone he thought was evil. He actually felt cool when he was with Emily and Zinny. They made his chest expand with pride for being able to protect them as a formidable man. "Am I bothering you?" "Not really. Emma just fell asleep." The corners of his lips curved into a smile. He had
