Aiden Hans wasn’t expecting to hear those words in such a cold way from Alex. He knows he’s in debt to Alex for not just one saving grace but multiple. Secretly, Alex aids him when the company business is about to flop and due to the fact they attended high school together, he invested and shielded him from embarrassment and also losing the company to his illegitimate younger brother.

“Al…Alex waits, your father didn’t ask for much, just to sign Kayla under us and train.

“I won’t repeat myself Aiden. You know better” he said and hung up.

Aiden scoffed in disbelief as he looked at the phone. Since Alex helps him, it’s the first favor he has ever asked of him, wait it’s not a favor because it sounds more like a threat. Aiden brushes his hair backward as he’s already excited to have Kayla on his team after Gets rejects her But wait.

    Alex stood tall and mighty as he faced his father with his intimated aura. He put his hands in his pockets and let his left eye stare daggers at his father while the other was covered by his hair. “What are you doing Alex?” Gerald sat down on the cushion chair looking at his son. “I don’t understand” Alex replied. “Why are you doing this to Kayla, she has a full career waiting for her out there Alex, she needs this agency to groom her. Why are you stopping them?” He asked for Alex to scoff. “Do I look like I have a grudge against her father or did you see me send a petition to the modeling agencies that they should cancel her? Stop accusing unnecessarily” he said scoffing for Gerald to frown. “ Are you denying it, Alexander… “Don’t call my full name unnecessarily, if this was why you came to my wife’s wardroom, as you can see she’s discharged and she hates it when I keep her waiting” he said turning to leave before his father's words stopped him. “Stop what you are doing

    Steven's eyes were wide open, his lips were still apart for minutes after they gasped from shock. He looks at smiling Katherine before he bows his head. “ Get out” he whispered. “ I know you miss… “ I said get out now!!” He screamed out for Katherine to chuckle. “ well, we will be seeing each other often now dear boyfriend” she sexily said as she came down from the bed and walked towards Steven smiling. “ don’t fucking touch me” he pushed her away for Katherine to smile. “ she’s pretty, well not more than Hazel,” She said carrying a little photo frame of Steven's fiancé. “But prettier than you,” he said for Katherine to smile. “Face, yeah,” she said chuckling. “What do you want?” He asked Katherine to look at him smiling. “Isn’t it obvious what I want?” She asked for Steven to scoff. “I’ve moved on,” he said for Katherine to chuckle. “I don’t want you Steven, common. You are broke, if I want a man, I will go for Alex or Harden. Both men don’t even know what a w

  • LOVE AFTER BETRAYAL   Mrs McCollum please..

    Alex didn’t let Hazel complete her words as he sucked hard on her tongue. Hazel moaned between the kisses as she jumped on Alex because her legs were going numb. “Mmm. I miss you” Alex said taking her to his office suit. “I miss you two” Hazel responded. Slowly he dropped her on his bed as he kept kissing her. “Are you done with work?” Hazel breaks off the kiss asking for Alex to bury his head in her chest. “I just need a little sensual office activities before I continue,” he said unbuttoning her shirt. “And how often do you have these sensual office activities, Mr McCollum.?” She asked for Alex to smile. “Rarely,” he said for Hazel to push him and sit on him. “Then let me take control and make it up to you,” she said removing his belt. “You are free, do whatever you want,” he said chuckling. Hazel could see the excitement in his face and she couldn’t help chuckling while shaking her head. “ what’s wrong?” Alex asked looking at Hazel who gently removed his belt and

    Alex frowned at the waitress who stood in shock looking at his wife who kept smiling. “Are you alright?” Alex's deep voice brought the waitress from her shocking mode. “I’m sorry sir McCollum, please, what can. “Baby, can you call for another waitress, I don’t like waitresses that don’t know their job,” Hazel said for Alex to nod. “Yes honey,” he said. “Leave and call your manager immediately,” Alex said for the waitress to bow her head as she looked at Hazel, Hazel gave her a sly smile. “She’s the one” the waitress whispered after she left the cabin. “What’s going on, she called your full name honey,” Alex said for Hazel to smile. “I once worked here immediately after college.” She said smiling but the memories were bad, in her smile, hot sad tears were hiding as everything began to fall into place, all the thief accusations and slaps she received were Katherine's doings. “They mistreated you?” Alex asks Hazel to smile. “They will pay for it,” He said for Hazel to

    Hazel saw the sudden change in Alex's face after he picked up his ringing phone, she followed his eyes which was starting or she would call it glaring because if she were any of those girls and a man like Alex glared at her like the way he’s doing, she would stand up immediately and leave as she thought about that, the girls immediately stood up but Alex followed them and stop them. Before Hazel could stop him he collected their phone and immediately the photo they taken earlier came to view as the phone hadn’t lock yet. Everyone in the small local restaurant was taken aback when a smashing sound of two phones sounded. “Ahh!!” The girls gasped as Alex smashed their phones. “Why did you do that?” Hazel immediately rushed towards them but she didn’t get a response as a guard walked in and handed two new phone to the girl who couldn’t say anything but gasp in surprise. “Next time it might not be a new phone but your life. Be warned” Alex said and held Hazel's hands as they walk

You betrayed her even though she loved you, no wonder she was saying all those words to me that day.” She said sighing. “Can we clarify the misunderstood words Katherine said to you?.” He asked looking at her but she shook her head. “She said you are addicted to her, she visited didn’t she?” She asks for Steven to nod. “Now I see,” she said throwing the paint on him. “That

    Hazel has a beautiful smile on her face as they both walk towards the dining table. Alex dragged out a chair for her where she sat and he sat beside her. “When Gerald told me my boy is now a husband I didn’t believe it but now I understand the drama and why it was worth it. If you don’t mind Alex, please let your wife sit beside me and my wife, she reminds us of our daughter who died at the Gateway plane crash years ago” he said not minding the look from the other guest after Alex came in late. “Yes dear, come sit close to me.” Mrs Governor said for Hazel to look at Alex who nodded at her. He stood up giving her his hands which she slowly took as they both walked toward the head of the table where she sat beside the governor's wife. “Please make sure she eats,” Alex said before he left and went back to his seat. “What’s your name dear?” The governor's wife asks Hazel to smile. “Hazel John Smith,” she said for the woman to smile. “You look so beautiful, your name sounds E

    The night wasn’t as the Women of the McCollum expected it, they both walked into the van waiting for them as they waited for Gerald who was still with the governor. “Mom, I’m not staying at that house if that bitch is going to stay… “Calm down Kay, she will see what she’s looking for. I told you not to do anything while she was pregnant. Now she wants revenge and she wants to do it herself. We will welcome her honey and give her what she asks for.” Martha said for Kayla to sigh. They both sat quietly as they looked outside the van, they saw Alex and Hazel standing until the chauffeur brought their car but as they were about to get in, they stopped. Kayla saw Harden walking towards them smiling as he gave Alex his hand for a shake but still got ignored. At the governor's garage, Hazel held onto Alex's hand as they both looked at Harden who kept talking. Simon already collected the car keys from the chauffeur and sat on the driver's side waiting for his boss. “I’m sorry about Eg

Chief coming. Babies die,” she said, making Hazel look at Alex in alarm.“We must leave. The chief is coming, and twins are forbidden in their village,” Hazel explained.Alex scoffed, then suddenly noticed that Hazel was barefoot.“Both of you, come here,” he commanded his guards. “Carry the babies,” he said, then bent down and lifted Hazel into his arms.“Follow,” the

    Hazel clutched her belly, gasping as another wave of pain shot through her body. The young girl’s eyes widened in panic as she watched Hazel struggle to stay upright.“Mother! Father!” the girl screamed, running out of the hut.Within seconds, the woman and the hunter rushed inside, their expressions tense.“Her water broke,” the girl said breathlessly.The woman’s face hardened with urgency. She quickly moved to Hazel’s side, supporting her as she trembled.“Lay her down,” the woman instructed, speaking in their native language.Hazel whimpered, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Her body was exhausted from months of recovery, but she knew there was no stopping what was about to happen. Her babies were coming.The hunter rushed outside, calling for the village healer.“I will get the midwife!” he said and took off running.Inside the hut, Hazel gritted her teeth, trying to steady her breath. The woman wiped her forehead with a damp cloth.“You’re strong. Just breathe,” she said

    The woman and the hunter looked at each other. He sighed, then bit his lips. “If the chief finds out, they will kill one of the children,” he said, making the woman bite her lips in worry. “I’ve been trying to reason with him about how much it will affect our population and community if we keep killing twins. They are born special,” she said, and the hunter nodded. “Let’s help her. She’s not of our clan. She and her babies should not be punished,” he said, making the woman sigh. “We don’t know where she comes from. Her injury is severe. We can’t take her back to where you found her because she’s running from something. We—” “My farmhouse,” he interrupted, and the woman nodded. “I will take my wife and daughter so they can help care for her until she heals,” he said, and the woman agreed. “Let’s do that now,” she said, and they both nodded in agreement. Inside the central city hospital, the bloodied man who had just arrived at the emergency center watched in a blur as doctors a

  • LOVE AFTER BETRAYAL   The escape.. 2

    Hazel could hear footsteps crashing through the underbrush behind her, men shouting orders as they gave chase. Her heart pounded in her chest, her breath coming in quick gasps. The chase was fast. Despite her big stomach, Hazel ran with the desperation of a woman fighting for survival. She could hear the voices of the guards behind her. As she ran deeper into the forest, the darkness swallowed her. The thick canopy of trees blocked any rays of sunlight. “Put on your lights!” she heard one of the guards scream. They hesitated at the edge of the forest, unable to follow her blindly into the darkness. But Hazel didn’t stop. She kept running and running because she would rather die than let Harden deprive Alex of his role as a father. Branches scratched her arms and face, but she cradled her stomach protectively as she weaved through the trees. She had no idea where she was going. All she knew was that she had to escape. She stopped and turned, her legs burning, her lungs aching—but

    Alex frowned after seeing Simon and Grace’s red dot concentrated in one area, while Hazel’s was moving away. Immediately, he grabbed his phone and dialed his D team. “Follow my wife,” he ordered, then called Simon. The phone rang and rang, but no one picked up. He tried again and again, but still, no answer. On the last ring, someone finally picked up. “This is Inspector Austin. The user of this phone was involved in an accident,” the voice said. Alex frowned, standing up. “Which hospital?” he asked calmly, though he wasn’t calm at all. “New York Hospital,” the inspector replied. Alex hung up immediately, but before he could process the information, his phone rang again. “Boss, we missed the abductors. The jet already took off,” the captain of the D team reported. Alex’s frown deepened. “Jet?” he asked, looking at the red dot that began blinking due to a lost signal in the clouds. “Find who took my wife, idiot!” Alex screamed, hanging up. He slammed his fist on the table, dra

    Grace was embarrassed. The look on Alex’s face made her immediately hide her phone. Alex scoffed, then sat back, watching as Grace swallowed hard.“I’m so—”“Is your salary not enough?” Alex asked, causing Grace to immediately bow her head.“I lost my previous phone, boss. I was planning to get a new one once I go out with Madam. I’m sorry, boss,” Grace immediately apologized.“I asked a question,” he said quietly.Grace raised her head, then immediately bowed again.“It’s more than enough, sir,” she said, bowing her head as she bit her lower lip.Alex nodded, then opened his wardrobe and brought out a new phone and a SIM card.He unboxed the phone, turned it on, and installed a personal tracker. Then he placed it on the table. He picked up his phone, activated the SIM card, and set it down. Looking at the still-embarrassed Grace, he spoke.“Fix this on my wife’s clothing, somewhere she can’t see it,” he instructed.Grace bowed and carefully picked up the SIM card.“Thank you, boss,”

    The night was quiet. The butler and Grace looked at each other—what were they going to do with all this food and cake on the table? They knew their boss and madam were not coming downstairs anymore tonight. Grace looked at the butler, who sighed.“What a waste,” he whispered, and Grace nodded in agreement.“Is it okay if I package them and take them to the mansion? My colleagues will be excited to eat it. Since the boss isn’t there, they only eat regular meals,” she said.The butler nodded. “But keep the cake. The madam might want it,” he said, then helped Grace package everything while they cleaned up.Back upstairs, the room was warm and quiet. The only noise was the soft moans escaping Hazel’s lips as her neatly pedicured fingers traced against Alex’s skin.“Ah…” a breathy moan escaped her lips as Alex’s body moved in a slow, rhythmic way with hers.“Oh, Alex… goodness,” she gasped as his pace remained steady and torturous.“I love you,” Alex whispered as he pushed himself deeper i

    The large governor’s dining room was eerily silent. Camila cleared her throat and smiled, but the look on Mrs. Governor’s face was far from pleasant.Harden scoffed, adjusting his suit.“With all due respect, Mrs. Governor, since my family is here, please do well to explain why I should be accused in such a manner,” he said, smiling at her.“My wife is angry about our current situation, and during the investigation, your name has come up frequently. She might have misunderstood something,” the governor said calmly.Mrs. McCall scoffed.“Well, I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be true. After all, he’s the reason his father committed suicide,” she said, making Harden scoff even harder.Without a word, he stood up and left. Camila immediately rose from her seat as well.“Forgive our abrupt departure, Your Excellency,” she said before rushing after Harden.“Please, let’s eat, sir,” Mrs. Governor urged. “I understand how you feel, and right now, I feel the same way.

    Hazel frowned at the gift box in front of her. The last time she heard of Kayla, she was with an actor in Hollywood, and her mother had been sentenced to jail for the murder of Alex’s mother. She looked at the butler before nodding at him.“Open it,” she said.The butler nodded and began to open the box. Inside, he found a beautifully crafted old Italian-designed vase. Hazel’s frown deepened. The butler gently placed it on the table before taking out a letter from the box.“There’s a letter, madam,” he said.Hazel took the letter, unfolded it, and began reading.“Hey Alex,It’s been a while. I’m doing fine here. Martinez is taking good care of me. I hope Hazel is doing well too. I know she will never forgive me for the past.The vase you’ve been asking about since childhood—the one my mother told the maid to throw away, calling it old and disgusting—the one with your mother’s name on it…I know you might have forgotten about it.
