Hazel wondered why Alex had tears on his lashes but she didn’t move or say anything as he pleaded for her to continue hugging him.
Hazel sighed as that moment, her broken heart moment appeared to her again, her boyfriend for four years and best friend since high school betrayed her.Her eyes began to be teary as she tried to replay all their moments together to see where she had not noticed she was living in their fantasy, She tried to replay their moments, she wanted to try to understand when it all started but nothing came to her instead the image of their intertwined naked body kept playing in her head making her to burst out crying.Steven has never touched her, not even when she tries making initiation as he tells her till their wedding night.Her heart aches from being betrayed by the two most important people in her life, Hazel covers her face as she silently cries to not wake up Alex.Alex felt the steady beating heart that was keeping him calm begin to race making him frown as he gently raised his aching head to see the woman who was giving him peace in tears making him wonder what was going on with her.He knows she must be heartbroken from what she has been saying from the bar.Alex gently raised his head to hers in the dark room as he slowly took her lips in his making Hazel open her eyes widely.She felt the stranger gently kissing her but surprisingly to herself, she didn’t resist as she finally closed her eyes and kissed him back, maybe it would help her forget her sorrow, Hazel kissed back as it seemed she was craving for it.The slow kiss began to become heated as the two heartbroken people kissed so intensely, that Alex turned Hazel to lay on her back as he kept kissing her.Gently, he unhooked her bra and put it on the floor while they kept kissing, he slowly released her lips and traced kisses to her neck then her full breast and hardened nipple due to the weather and the moment.Alex took hazel nipple in his mouth as he suck on it while his hand squeezed the other one.Hazel let out a slow and quiet moan while pushing her head backward.Gently, Alex removed his boxers and her lacy pants. He rubs her already wet folds with his fingers making a silent moan escape her mouth.Hazel was so deep in the moment as she had never been touched down there, she had been kissed, and got so intimate but Steven had never penetrated her making her wonder why but he always told her he wanted to wait for their wedding night. Now she had understood his reason, all this while she was living in their lives, all this while it was all for Katherine.. when those thoughts Came to Hazel's head, tears began to flow from her eyes making Alex immediately stop touching her down there.“Don’t s-stop please” she whispered in a crying voice for Alex to kiss her lips, This time he took her so passionately that it made Hazel feel so much love from the kiss even knowing it was from an unknown stranger.Gently, Alex guided himself inside of her but stopped when he noticed how tight she was, Alex didn’t know she was a virgin and as he noticed, he tried to stand up but Hazel pleaded.“Please go on. Please” she said for Alex to stop.“If I continue, you will be mine for life” he quietly said for Hazel to nod as she was already deep in the mood not knowing she was nodding to an agreement she can never run from.Alex had never had sex with a virgin before and he promised himself if he broke through with her, he must take care of her since she accepted, he gently guided himself inside of her, this time he took his time and tried to make sure she didn’t feel hurt.Hazel covered her mouth as she felt her walls trying to expand making her wink in pleasurable pain.“Relax” Alex whispered planting butterfly kisses all over her face while pushing himself into her.“Ahh” Hazel gasped as she could feel Alex inside of her.“You are mine for life now,” he said as he gently began to thrust in and out. Hazel nodded to whatever he was saying as she was in a pleasurable pain that was now becoming like heaven on earth.The more Alex thrust in and out of her, the more Hazel moaned until she felt her body reaching a very sweet sensational state before trembling and she felt relaxed.Alex groaned in satisfaction as he poured his seed inside of her before he pulled out and lay beside her.He turned to look at Hazel but he saw her already fallen asleep making him smile Then he closed his eyes as since the traumatic years of his life, it was the first time his sickness didn’t stay overnight talk more days as it usually does. This made him drag Hazel close to him as he covered them with the blanket and drifted into deep sleep too….The sun shone so brightly as its beautiful rays shined on Hazel's face making her gently open her eyes. She yawned turning to her side just to see one of God's most beautiful creatures sleeping beside her.She looked at the well-carved jawline and well-shaped nose, his eyelashes were like that of a baby girl, so long and shiny.She quietly and gently raises Alex's hands as she immediately comes down from the bed and wears her clothes hoping she leaves without his notice.Hazel immediately carried her shoes, folded her pants inside her hand bag then quietly left the room barefooted. She just lost her virginity to a stranger and she didn’t feel ashamed or angry at herself as it helped her pass through the night without thinking of committing suicide.As she successfully closed the door, she ran away, She won’t lie, she enjoyed his treatment last night but she has life at her front to deal with.Hazel immediately stopped a taxi that took her away.She sighed wearing her shoes in the taxi as she decided to go carry her phone from her best friend's apartment.After Hazel comes out of the taxi, she looks at the apartment where she once found solace, peace, and happiness. She knocks on the door but no response.She kept on knocking when the door opened and her face and that of her best friend came facing each other.Anger, the feeling of being betrayed was all over her face as she stared at Katherine who smiled at her.“What do you want?” She asked Hazel who tried to control her tears.“My… my phone” she whispered as she tried hard not to break down.“I thought as much,” Katherine said smiling.“Babe, can you please pass me the phone on the table” she said for Hazel to smirk.Steven who carried the phone frowned as he recognized it.“Is this Hazel's phone?” He asked walking towards Katherine at the door.“Yeah it is, she’s here to collect it. I guess she forgot it yesterday” she said for Steven to stop on his track swallowing hard.Hazel scoffed not expecting Katherine's attitude, With the attitude she couldn’t even see herself asking Katherine why, she watched as Katherine closed the door in her face making her bow her head.Katherine opened the door handed her the phone and banged the door at Hazel who began to wonder if all these years, she was with her enemy and calling her friend. Hazel weakly walked away as she kept replaying all those moments of their life in her head as she didn’t want to believe it was all lies.Inside Katherine's room, Steven wanted to leave but Katherine stopped him.“I need to talk to her Kate, She was my girlfriend even if I didn’t respect our relationship Kate” Steven said for Katherine to frown.“What explanation did she need baby, she already understands she was In between and it’s clear that she’s not needed. If you go and meet her, she will prolong the issue.” Katherine said for Steven to hold her hands kissing her.“Let me make it clear to her Katherine. You know it has always been you, ever since that night it has been you” he said for Katherine to sigh.Steven left for Katherine to frown.She has been Hazel's best friend for years, She loved Hazel since high school, and at college, she envied the relationship but since the night, she and Steven have been secretly dating, she watches her flaunting the guy she loves in her face and expecting when the times comes for her to break the news that her sweet boyfriend has been hers, she should feel ashamed, no way!.Katherine hissed as she didn’t even know how to express how much she hated Hazel, She sighed going to the kitchen to continue her breakfast.Steven looks around to see if Hazel has taken a taxi. He kept calling her but she didn’t pick up and he kept looking around when he saw a figure in a brown coat sitting at the bus stop area.He sighed swallowing hard when he walked towards Hazel who was waiting for the next bus.“Hey,” he called for Hazel to turn and quietly she turned back and faced the road.“Ha…“Don’t call my name Steven,” Hazel said for Steven to sigh.“We are sorry, Haze. I wanted to tell you so badly how much I love Kath…..“Stop Steven” she turn with tears in her eyes.“Stop Steven,” she said again standing up as she began to walk away.At the motel, Alex groans as he tries to open his eyes to the bright sun shining on his face. His phone kept ringing making him groan cleaning his eyes. He looked around but he was the only one in the room.She carried his boxer and wore it going to the bathroom to look for Hazel but the bathroom was dry like no one had used it. Alex frowned looking around when he noticed all her things were gone.That moment he remembered he didn’t even know her name.Alex frowns immediately rushing towards his coat to carry his phone.Immediately he dialed Simon's number.“Boss, oh my goodness, have been…“Shut the fuck up and track my location,” he said hanging up as he wear his clothes and left the room to the motel counter.“Excuse me, did you see….That moment Alex noticed even her description, he can’t remember.“The miss that came with you last night left earlier this morning,” the counter woman said for Alex to fold his fist.He walks out of the motel area angry at himself as he can’t recognize the lady of last night.“Boss” Simon rushed towards Alex who turned towards her.“A girl helped me last night and she ran away, Find her,” he said for Simon to frown.“Boss what’s her….“I don’t know anything about her just FIND HER!” He angrily said and entered the car for Simon to sigh as he entered the driver's side and zoomed off….Inside the beautiful mansion in the western part of New York City, The black Benz drove into the garage as Alex walked out. All the maids and the mansion butler immediately stood and greeted their boss who walked into the mansion in a very cold mood.“I give you only one day to find her Simon, find her,” Alex said walking to his room. Simon sighed as he wondered how he found someone he didn’t even know what she looked like.Alex walked into his room straight to his bathroom he stripped himself naked putting on the shower that ran down from his dark hair to his back passing between the superficial backline that has a big dark drooping rose tattoo.At the bus stop area, Steven tried to talk to Hazel but she refused to give him a second. She kept walking away.“I will come pick up my things from your apartment” She finally turned and looked at Steven who was following from behind.“We need to talk about everything that happened Hazel, Me and Katherine hold you an ex….“No explanation.
Alex was in his office, and for the first time since he took over from his father, he couldn’t concentrate on his work. He drops his pen looking at his phone as he waits for Simon's call. He doesn’t want to call and look disturbed.Alex called his secretary Camel who immediately walked into her boss's office bowing her head.“Boss” Camel called bowing her head.“Cancel all my schedules for the week,” he said walking to his office bar.“Boss, your father asked for dinner tomorrow evening Should I cancel that too?” she quietly asked.Alex looked at her before looking at his set of wine cups then he picked one.“ I won’t repeat myself” he finally said carrying a wine bottle and walking back to his chair.“Yes boss,” she said bowing her head as she turned to leave.“And it should be the last time, you spit that rubbish” he coldly said to his secretary who swallowed hard.“ I’m sorry boss,” she said walking out of her boss's office.Alex poured himself a glass of wine as he took it all at
Hazel looks around as if it’s just like a snap of a finger to her, Will she call it magic, or his trick, two days ago this man looked so vulnerable and today he acts like she’s at his mercy.Two maids walk into the room smiling for Hazel to frown at them.“Ma’am, the boss asked we dress you up and take you to the mansion,” one of them said for Hazel to frown.“I have my own home, I have to go home and“It’s not necessary, everything you need is in the mansion Besides, the contract said, you can’t leave without permission,” Alex said walking into the room.“Excuse me, I didn’t sign my freedom sir, I have a life to….“You agreed to everything with a nod Marie,” Alex said for Hazel to frown.“Don’t call my middle name” she quietly said for Alex to walk towards her while the maids dropped the clothes and left.Alex walked closer to Hazel who was on the bed, the closer he got to her, the more Hazel felt nervous and her saliva became too thick for her to swallow.Alex bent down close to Haze
Hazel was nervous as they drove to the restaurant where the dinner was being held. She’s scared, so scared that her hands begin to tremble in fear.Alex who was facing outside the window turned to see Hazel holding her stomach as she couldn’t breathe anymore. She didn’t know why but just the feeling of sitting in the middle of rich people with class for the first time in her life made her so nervous that her hands began to tremble and her stomach felt like she should squeeze it.“Stop the car,” Alex said to Simon who immediately stopped in the middle of the road.“Are you alright?” He asked removing his coat to cover her immediately.“I….I feel sick” she said for Alex to frown.“Turn the car around,” Alex said for Simon to immediately turn the car around and drive back home.Hazel felt so bad that she began to tear up.Immediately Simon drove back into the mansion, Alex helped the trembling Hazel out of the car as they walked into the mansion, immediately he helped her to sit on the c
Gerald and Kayla look at the pretty blue-eyed girl who stands beside Butler Thomas bending her head.Kayla clears her throat for Hazel to raise her head.“And your name?” She asked for Hazel to swallow hard.“Hazel” she responded.“Wait, if you are a maid, why do you dress in such a fine dress? Kayla asked walking around Hazel who squeezed her lips.“Boss said she should be in a nice dress as she will be taken care of his room” the butler quickly said.“Alex.” Gerald sniffs as he looks at Hazel. He knows his son will just useless her and once he’s done, he will sack her. Though it’s the first time he heard of his son having a personal maid he knows how useless any girl who tries to give him her body is.Gerald walked to the lounge area to sit down while Kayla kept looking at Hazel from her head to her toe.She walked closer to Hazel and whispered into her ear.“Even if you give him all of you, he will clean his mouth and dumb you so I advise, you to stick to being just a personal maid
Alex walked to his room frowning, How dare she open her mouth and spill those words to him?Yes, he told himself to take responsibility not just because he took away her innocence but because she was the first woman in his entire life since after his mother's death who gave him peace, Alex dropped his coat on his cushion chair as he walked towards his laundry basket to drop his clothes when he saw a white shirt and blue Jean inside his laundry basket making him to frown. Alex walked towards his table and dialed his butler's number.“To my room,” he said and hung up. Gently he walked towards his bathroom and removed his clothes, he dropped them on the floor then he walked into his bathroom, After taking his shower, he carried his towel only to find it still wet.He frowned as he saw a blonde hair on it making him immediately throw it on the floor.Alex carried a new clean towel and wrapped his waist before stepping out of his bathroom frowning. He knows the only person who has blonde h
Hazel knows technically Alex has declared war with his family for her. She knows what it means to be disappointed by someone you love and seeing Kayla's eyes a few minutes ago, she’s already heartbroken.She looked at Alex who was driving before looking away.Why would she want to stay with a man whom she doesn’t have feelings for, Stupidity made her sign the contract but now she knows better not to be an obstacle to another girl’s dreams.Hazel began to think about how to leave the mansion, she began to think about how she needed to start making an escape plan.Alex could see how Hazel bit on her fingers like she was thinking about something, something he knew he wouldn’t like.“Whatever you are thinking, don’t execute it,” he said for Hazel to quickly turn towards him.“Uhh?” She gasped for Alex to chuckle.“What are you thinking?” Alex asked for Hazel to shake her head.“No…. Nothing” she said looking down on her white dress.“I’m sorry, you meet my family in this…“No… no, it’s ok
Inside the dark spacious room, Alex stood under the dull bulb which was the only source of light in the room, he looked at the man who knelt with his head bleeding out from his blood.Simon raised his head up for the guy to plead.“I’m sorry boss,” he said crying for Alex to chuckle.“Johnson” Alex quietly called as he looked at the man who cried pleading.“How many years have you been planning this your clear betrayal statistics?” He asked the man to shake as he knew what his face would become after betraying their company.“ I was foolish, the offer was so huge and…“ I asked a question,” Alex coldly said for the man to swallow hard.“It’s just a few months ago, I drunkenly discussed it with a friend who works at Thompson and Co.” He said for Alex to nod.“So since your mouth is wide like a well, I think I should help you close it,” Alex said for Johnson to look around scared.“Bite the table” this time he coldly said for the man to try to beg for his life.“Boss, please I….“Don’t
Hazel hugged the governor’s wife after dinner. As they walked to their car with their guards following behind, Hazel glanced around nervously. Alex, noticing her uneasiness since their moment on the balcony, gently helped her step into the car before climbing in after her. Hazel sighed, relaxing her hands on her protruding stomach.“If someone is pregnant, do they get to see things?” she asked hesitantly.Alex pulled out his phone. “I’m calling Dr. Frankie,” he said, not sure how to answer her.He held her hand while waiting for Frankie to pick up.“Sir Alex,” Frankie greeted.“Do pregnant women hallucinate?” Alex asked directly.“Yes, Sir Alex. A lot of pregnant women seem to have hallucinations,” Frankie explained.Alex sighed in relief and hung up, turning to Hazel.“He said yes, so don’t worry,” Alex reassured her, placing his palm on her protruding stomach.Hazel smiled but still looked concerned. “Alex…” she called softly.“Yes love?”“Since Harden left, he hasn’t made any moves
At Diana’s residence, Hazel knocked on the door, and a moment later, it opened to reveal Diana, her face swollen from crying. “Hazel!” Diana exclaimed, pulling her into a tight hug. “I brought you something,” Hazel said gently, gesturing for the guard to set the items down. Diana wiped her tears and smiled faintly. “Thank you. I didn’t expect you to come.” Hazel held her hands. “Of course I would come. You’re not alone, Diana. You have people who care about you.” Diana’s lips trembled, and she nodded. “I thought it was all my fault. If only I’d done things differently…” Camila came out smiling awkwardly. “I’m sorry, meet my friend and colleague, Camila” Diana introduced for Hazel to smile at Camila who smile back. “ when she said she knows Alexander McCollum wife I chuckled but now I believe.” Camila said for Hazel to smile. “Nothing special though” she said as she held on Diana before they sat down while Camila left to make a cup of tea for Hazel. “Don’t blame you
Simon couldn’t believe that his old friend, whom he had met just once and exchanged numbers with, had reached out to him for help.“Calm down. I’ll call you back because right now, I’m in the middle of work,” he said, hearing the desperation in his friend’s voice.“Okay, please do call me. I’m really in need, Simon,” his friend replied before hanging up.Simon sighed, walking toward Hazel, who had just picked out a luxury brand shoe and bag. Together, they left the store.They drove to a phone shop, where Simon went in to purchase a new phone for Hazel.While waiting in the car, Alex looked at Hazel.“So, you’re not talking to me anymore, hmm?” he asked. Hazel turned to him, frowning.“Why wouldn’t I speak with you? Why are you accusing me? I didn’t say—”“I’m not accusing you, Hazel. I’m just saying you haven’t spoken to me since your call,” Alex said, his tone softening.“Does that mean I’m ignoring you? You’re accusing me, right now, Alex, and—”“Baby,” Alex interjected, surprised
Hazel heard the line drop as Diana rushed to check the news. “Diana, Diana,” Hazel called, but the line kept cutting off. She sighed sadly, finding it hard to cry for them, yet it hurt her heart to see their story end like that. “Madam, your lunch is ready,” the butler returned to inform Hazel, who only nodded as she sat on the couch, looking downcast. At the hospital, Diana broke down in tears as she read the news. She couldn’t hold back her emotions, feeling as if she was responsible for Steven’s drastic decision. “No… no!” she cried out, drawing the attention of a doctor and two nurses who rushed to her. “Nurse Diana, are you alright?” the doctor asked, but Diana kept crying. “Please call Nurse Camila; she’s her friend. She can calm her down,” one of the nurses said. “It was her ex-boyfriend who killed himself and his ex in California,” another nurse whispered, but Diana wasn’t listening. She kept crying, blaming herself for not giving Steven another chance. Camila
The standoff was electric, the three of them caught in a storm of past betrayals and present dangers. Hazel took a shaky breath, glancing between the two men who represented two parts of her life one that had been, and one that was. “This has to end, Harden,” she said, her voice strong despite the quiver in her chest. “We can’t keep going like this. We were just friends, stop acting like we dated.” Harden’s eyes filled with a mixture of pain and acceptance, and he nodded slowly, stepping back toward his car. “I just needed to hear it from you.” With one last glance, he got into his SUV and drove away, leaving the air heavy with unspoken words. Hazel felt Alex’s arm wrap around her waist, grounding her as the tension finally began to melt away. But as they stood there, watching the car disappear down the road, Alex knew this was far from over. Harden’s obsession was dangerous, and he would need to be ready for whatever came next. “I’ll protect you, Hazel,you and our baby is m
The sound of birds chirping echoed gently inside the spacious bedroom, coaxing Hazel from a deep sleep. She stirred, turning from side to side before slowly opening her eyes. The first thing she noticed was the emptiness beside her—Alex’s side of the bed was cold. Confused, Hazel sat up, rubbing her eyes before sliding out from under the covers. The cool morning air sent a shiver down her spine as she padded across the room to the bathroom. “Alex?” she called out, her voice reverberating softly against the tiled walls. Silence. He wasn’t there. A slight frown creased her forehead as she turned and walked out of the room, the soft patter of her bare feet moving down the elegant, wooden staircase. Each step was deliberate, the polished wood glistening under the warm glow of the morning sun filtering through the large windows. Hazel stopped at the last step, pausing as a peculiar stillness greeted her. “Alex, baby, where are you?” she called again, her voice tinged with worry. She cr
Inside the dark room, all the lights were off, and only the moonlight spread its pale glow across the space. Harden sat there, staring into the void, replaying the image of Hazel turning away from him, as if she’d never promised to stay away from Alex. He knew she was weak when it came to Alex, acting like they had never discussed moving on from him. Harden clenched his fists, rubbing his head.“I’m not letting this go like we didn’t talk about it, Hazel. Alex can’t have you anymore,” Harden muttered, frustration and anger clouding his expression.Meanwhile, far away in Hawaii, AS03 had just received the news of AS02’s death after a fight with Alex.He couldn’t believe that a five years old boy he was sent to assassinate his mother is now back, taking them down one by one. It pained him more to know that he had been paid to carry out the job when he was eighteen, his first successful job. Now Alex was seeking revenge, as if he had intended the killing himself.AS03 bit his inner cheek
Later that evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting an orange glow over the secluded villa, Alex stood at the large windows, watching the scene outside, his mind racing. Simon had gone to gather a security team, leaving Alex and Hazel alone for the moment. He turned when he heard Hazel’s soft footsteps approaching. “You look like you’re carrying the weight of the world,” she said, gently placing a hand on his shoulder. “You don’t have to do this alone, Alex.” He turned, his expression softening as he looked at her. “It’s not just about protecting us, Hazel. If they’ve gone this far—burning down the company, attacking people close to me—they’re desperate. I need to end this, or they’ll keep coming.” Hazel met his gaze, determination sparking in her eyes. “Then we’ll end it together.” He sighed, cupping her face. “You’re the strongest person I know. You’ve gone through a lot because of me, but this… this is different. I don’t want you anywhere near what’s coming.”
Alex’s hand traced gently over Hazel’s growing baby bump, his touch warm and reverent. It had only been a few months since she became pregnant, yet her body seemed to have transformed in every way. Her breasts had grown fuller, her face glowed, and every inch of her seemed more beautiful, more ethereal. His hand drifted up to cup one of her breasts, feeling its weight and fullness, which made him chuckle softly. Hazel gave him a curious look, amusement dancing in her eyes. “Why are you laughing?” “Nothing,” he said with a mischievous grin, shaking his head. Then, slowly, he began to place tender kisses across her stomach, brushing his lips over her skin as if to imprint his love on every inch of her. He held her hands, helping her settle into a reclining position as the chair slowly transformed into a makeshift bed. With gentle care, he arranged her body and leaned down, his mouth tracing a path from her belly to her chest. “You’re so beautiful,” he murmured, his eyes flicking up
