2021-11-15 05:37:55Hazel jumped up with a dazed expression on her face. It took her a few seconds to realize where she was. She was about to scream Emily's name before she realized she was in a motel with Calvin waiting for the storm to subside outside.
But the strange silence caused Hazel to straighten herself on the bed, observing the silence around her.
I’m alone?
He tried to contain the panic that was starting to soar in her mind. Fear haunted her until now she felt sick to her stomach. Gastric acid immediately filled the empty stomach cavity. And before things got any worse, she began to close her eyes and count from one to ten to calm her panic-stricken heart. She couldn't panic, she cried to herself. Calvin couldn't left her. The man might be going out for coffee or getting something in the car.
For five minutes Hazel mumbled to herself like a madman to calm her chaotic mind. After that she immediately went to the bathroom to clean herself. She hoped tha

As usual, she did the things that needed to be done and picked up every incoming call for her boss. But for the past three days, she feels that her work is so boring. Incoming calls actually always come and go to just convey their concern for what happened to her boss. But without the presence of her beautiful and kind boss, this office feels empty. Eden missed Hazel so much and hoped that she would soon return to work as usual. "You must be her secretary." Eden lifted her head from the brightly lit computer screen. Behind the thick-rimmed glasses, she saw a man in a police uniform and badges pinned to his uniform staring at her with a sharp and impatient look. Then behind the policeman's body, hidden another policeman whose facial expression looks friendlier than the first policeman she saw. "Yes, my name is Eden Burke." "I know." Pointing to the nameplate in front of her desk, the grim policeman said, “It's listed here. I wonder where Judge Hazel Ha

The sound of tires stomping on gravel creaked loudly as Calvin's car pulled into Hazel's house in mountain area. Inside the quiet house, there are many flower pots that are still very well maintained and also emit a fragrant aroma. From Hazel, Calvin knew that the pots were still being cared for by a neighbor who was not as close as he imagined. Hazel's closest neighbor was four hundred meters to the west. While on the east side, the house is bordered by a vast wheat field which looks stunning when the gentle breeze begins to blow this afternoon. "I didn't think that a great judge like you would actually be a mountain woman." Hazel knew he was going to make fun of her, but she chose to ignore it by walking over to the doormat at the front door to retrieve the house key that had been there for years. "Sorry, maybe this didn't live up to your expectations." "What?" "This house." Calvin immediately swept his gaze across the modest house w

"Ms. Emma, I found this flower among the bushes.” "Wow, that’s beautiful flower Jordan." Emma smiled gently at the blond boy whose cheeks were rosy from the sun. But even though it's hot, outdoor activities always make the kids happy. They seem to be able to express themselves more freely. And most importantly they can run here and there to be closer to nature. Emma is always happy to see their joy. It made her heart filled with boredom from her bland married life become better. They really are a great antidote to her broken heart. "This is for Ms. Emma." A little girl shyly gave Emma a pink flower that grew wildly around the hospital garden. Appreciating the little girl's sincerity, she then crouched down and took the flower gratefully. “Beautiful flower, Emily. Thanks very much." “This flower is like Ms. Emma. Ms. Emma makes me miss mommy." Emma frowned as she stroked the girl's head gently. Not all children

Calvin turned to her with a furrowed brow. Just now the woman said something that sounded a little different from their previous plan. While still concentrating on the fairly busy street in front of him, he asked Hazel one more time to confirm the woman's words. "You were sayin’ about? Tacoma?” "Yes. Take me to Tacoma. I want to stay overnight there. You don't mind, do you?" "No. Actually we still have plenty of time, so I'm pretty relaxed. Just what are we going to Tacoma for?” He was starting to think that Hazel had gotten carried away with him these few days that she wanted one more stopover that had absolutely nothing to do with their plans. But is Hazel really that kind of woman? He doubted she had that thin of a defense against a man's charm. If she wasn't a tough woman, she would have had another lover or partner after Rick. So of course this is definitely not that. "Katrina. I want to go there to see her house. I haven't been t

Her heart was beating fast, and she was a little embarrassed when she felt the man's gaze on her several times when they were in the same car like this. Pedro is a kind and gentle man. His past with his wife who has cancer makes Emma feel sympathy for the man. These days Pedro often comes to the park, where she takes care of the children. He showed a very high interest in the children who were busy running here and there. Sometimes Pedro also helps her to put the kids in order when it's nap time. Even though he only had thirty minutes to visit the daycare, it felt like it meant more than anything to Emma. Pedro's attitude indirectly shows real sincerity. Compared to other people with a style that is too pretentious, Pedro looks much better with his attitude that is still willing to make time in the midst of his busy schedule as a businessman. "This is your house?" "Yes, this is my house." Tucking a strand of her hair that hung down the side of her face, Emma thanked

With hasty and galloping steps, Emma walked over to the terrace to see Richmond's clearly disorganized state. Behind her Pedro followed at a more relaxed pace and seemed unconcerned. Because of that man, his chance to seduce Emma has failed. His intention to kill Emma also failed. But that's okay, he'll try again tomorrow. After all, he had more chances to snare Emma as long as the useless man remained indifferent to his wife. "Who is he, Em? Argh damn my back!” The man cursed as he tried to climb the stairs to the terrace. Several times he seemed to be rubbing his own back which Emma didn't know what was behind her husband's painful body? Which caused her husband to look that angry. “This is Pedro, one of the donors at my workplace. Are you okay, Rich?” "Do I look okay?" said Richmond curtly as he turned around. "Look at my back, did that damn bastard manage to make a hole at my back?" Emma hesitantly approached and checked her husband's stra

Suddenly today the courtroom was thrown into an uproar by Hazel's sudden decision to ask for a hearing date to be moved forward. Her firm stance and determined determination made it impossible for anyone to stop her from adjourning the trial until tomorrow morning. In just an hour, all the preparations for the trial had been done. The witnesses had also been summoned to appear in court, one hour before the sudden preparations were made. Hazel, who had just entered the courtroom, looked satisfied to see the sudden preparations made by her staff. She regretted that this had to be done now, but she had no other choice but to do it. This trial must be done immediately before something bad happens. Especially with Richmond showing up last night at Katrina's house, it would really make her plans with Calvin worse. But while she had her trial today, the man would be busy looking for Calvin all over Seattle. "Is everything ready? The witnesses?" Hazel asked o

She was forced to appear in front of dozens of journalists to give an official statement regarding all the problems that have occurred recently. Starting from the break-in at her apartment by Calvin to the suicide incident by Gabe today. But from all the statements she said, the reporters were more interested in the rumors about Emily that were horrendous to many parties. That might be her fault. She hadn't thought about the repercussions of not publishing Emily as her niece instead of her daughter. “I protect my daughter's mental condition. She was too young to deal with things like this, so I decided not to publish her. But those closest to me already know it.” “We had an interview with Rick Arkenzie a few days ago. Mr. Arkenzie claims to know nothing about your daughter, Your Honor Hayes." Hazel growled behind the fake smile she was showing the reporters. Rick has always been a troublemaker in her life. "Rick really doesn't know. We parted

"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

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
