Hazel was just about to bombard the man with questions running through her mind when he suddenly threw her white cell phone vibrating in her lap and told her to pick up Rick's call immediately.

“Ask what you need to ask. Now!" Calvin growled emphatically. Despite her hesitation, Hazel finally picked up the call and immediately connected to Rick who sounded worried on the other end.

“Oh my God, Hazel!”

Hazel pushed her phone away slightly as Rick's loud voice made a slight ringing in her ears. Next to her, Calvin seemed to be listening intently as he occasionally glanced at her.

"Where are you? Did that guy hostage you? Are you hurt?”

The rain of questions from Rick didn't necessarily make her feel touched, on the contrary, she felt discomfy with a man who was too overbearing like Rick.

"No, he didn't hurt me." Hazel glanced slightly at Calvin with a look that implied you should be thanking me for not making your b

  • DESPERATE LOVE   NINETY EIGHT (EPILOGUE)

    "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

    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

  • DESPERATE LOVE   NINETY SIX

    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

  • DESPERATE LOVE   NINETY FOUR

    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
