MIRANDAHis wife??I was shocked at the actions of the man beside me. Was he the same Hazel I knew? He was someone who only went the extra mile for me if his mum pushed him to. I just got through to Mel not too long ago, so, I knew his mum wasn't aware of my predicament. Why was Hazel going through the trouble for me when he had already made it clear that he wanted me out of his way until our contract came to an end?Mrs. Heidi kept staring at him like she had seen a ghost as her face became as white as a sheet. Seeing the surprised and envious stares of everyone present, I found myself feeling proud that Hazel was showing me off as his wife, even though it wasn't real."Why are you quiet? Cat got your tongue?" Hazel asked Heidi. No one said a word to him because they knew how ruthless he could be. Being the richest man in the country, he was so highly connected that he could make any one of them disappear with a snap of his fingers.Seeing him wield his power was just too satisfying
MIRANDA I recalled how I had been slapped by the leader of the six guys and said, "The leader of the thugs. He hit me earlier.""Bring the leader of the thugs out for me," Hazel instructed one of the officers. The guy whose hands had been cuffed was brought out of the police vehicle.Hazel looked around and let go of my hand as he walked toward the bush track and picked up a stick. He stood in front of the thug and struck his cheek with the stick.The guy cried out in pain and tried to turn his face but Hazel did not stop striking him until his face was bleeding badly.He threw the stick on the ground and said, "Now you will have a longer-lasting scar."The police took the crying guy back into the car, where he had been put earlier.At this point, Ashlynn who had hidden in one of the tents was being dragged out by a cop. She kept crying and insisting that she was innocent. However, her cries were ignored and she was cuffed and pushed into a police van.Hazel held my hand again and sa
MIRANDA I stared at Hazel in surprise. Ever since I met him, that was the first time I truly felt something move inside me.His smell, his touch, and something about his kiss suddenly had me feeling nervous. My heart raced as I kept staring at him and suddenly I wanted him to kiss me again.I took a step back from him. "What is going on with you, Miranda?" I asked myself inwardly.Without a word to him, I walked toward the blue helicopter and began to get in. As I turned, I saw him standing behind me, staring at me. However, he was not the only one I saw. I noticed some students peeping at us from the bushes and shook my head before taking my seat.Hazel came in shortly afterward and sat beside me. The ride to his hangar was quiet for the both of us as neither of us said a word to each other.When the chopper landed and we got off, he pointed at his car which was parked close by, and said, "I'll drive you home.""Thank you," I replied."Don't think too much about what happened earlie
MIRANDA Hazel stopped his car, got out, and was standing in front of me in a split second."Good morning, Hazel," I said without looking at him."Good morning. I would have thought you would rest today and probably go to school tomorrow, after what happened last night," he told me."Why should I stay back?" I asked. "I haven't done anything wrong and I'm not in any pain. As it is I've missed so many classes already. If I continue missing school, I'll likely not graduate."He smiled, "Do not worry, no matter what happens, I'll make sure you graduate. Consider it a parting gift from me."As he began to walk away, I scoffed, "Did he walk over just to tell me that? He seems to suddenly have so much free time."I got into my car and hugged Mel who was happy to see me in one piece."What happened to you yesterday?" I asked.She sighed, "Someone did something to your car yesterday. I found out after the mechanic arrived that someone made two of your tires flat. Unfortunately, I went to the
HAZEL As I drove away from Miranda's school, I kept smiling, feeling happy. Eventually, I realized what I was doing and frowned."What is going on with you?" I asked myself.I could go to Caracas without Miranda. Yes, the old couple I would be dealing with were conservative and loved married couples in love but I could still close the deal without Miranda's presence. Why then was I doing these silly things?Thinking about it, I realized that I had gone through the trouble of inviting Miranda because I was uncomfortable about Steph's presence in her life.But why was I becoming this way? It was all Miranda's fault. She was the one who went on about how Steph was brave, handsome, and intelligent.She was messing with my mind and I was going to put a stop to it. Under different circumstances, I would have compensated Steph, especially because his family wasn't so well-to-do. However, I wasn't going to do anything of that nature.He should not have let my wife get attached to him. Beside
MIRANDAI had imagined how exciting my trip would be. My daydream began after Melody filled my head with nonsense but now, I regretted agreeing to travel because it was boring, all thanks to Mr. Stuck up.After Hazel gave me a black card, I opened up and told Melody everything about the trip and she convinced me to go shopping. She picked out nice dresses for me and swimsuits too, telling me how much fun she had when she visited her relatives in Caracas.However, Hazel left me at home, without regard for the fact that I got ready early and waited for him.I spent the day sleeping and eating. Later, I had a conference call with Steph and Melody. We spoke at length and Steph made the both of us laugh so much.I had to say goodbye to them after Hazel came back because I noticed his mood wasn't good. I figured his meetings did not go well and tried to be nice to him.He already upset me earlier but in a place where only he spoke the language I understood, I didn't want to pick a fight.Ea
MIRANDA Hazel's lips on mine had me feeling weak in the knees.Our towels and robes lay on the ground as he kissed me in a way that was foreign to me; gently, yet passionately.So many alarm bells rang inside my head, compelling me to push him away but I couldn't. I enjoyed the rare intimacy the moment provided us and did not want it to end.My pulse raced and I felt a rush of emotions as Hazel pulled away, caressed my face, and moaned, "Miranda....I want you!!"His eyes drilled into mine and we kept staring at each other as we panted for breath. As if he had suddenly made up his mind, he lifted me off the ground and carried me into the bedroom.Placing me on the bed, he got on it as well and beginning with my wrists, showered my arms with kisses, moving up to my shoulders, my neck and finally settling back on my lips.My eyes blinked severally and I inhaled when his lips left mine, and began traveling down. As his hands caressed my swimsuit around my bosom area, I felt the tips of m
MIRANDAHazel held me in his arms as the minutes rolled by. Hearing him call me the most beautiful woman in the world was really happifying and surprising too.I involuntarily recalled what happened earlier at the pool and felt disturbed. Even though Hazel had gotten distracted earlier, it was still possible for him to remember it and get upset again.I figured it was better to talk to him about it than pretend it did not happen. Pulling away from his body, I lifted my face and noticed that he was staring at me.I flashed a smile at him and began, "About what happened earlier....I didn't mean to ruin things for you, Hazel. If I had known that the pool pervert was so important to you....""Then what would you have done?" He asked, interrupting me. "Let him sexually harass you and get away with it?"I shook my head, "No, I would have run away before he even approached me. I was just so bored and....""Wanted to go swimming with your husband?" He asked, while raising his brows.I bit my l
