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. It’s betrayal Steven. I’ve tried hard to understand where I went wrong, why did I never notice I was living in fantasy all my life, maybe I was so sad about my father's sick days till his death that I didn’t notice Or maybe you both are good actors. All my college days, I thought I got you guys and I didn’t have to be sad that my mom was out there and didn’t even care she had a daughter, I thought I had you guys that even after my father's death, I still passed through the heartbreak. I want to say thanks to both of you because even though I was living in your fantasy, your pretentious attitude saved my sad days, so no explanation Steven” she said as the bus stopped and immediately she entered before Steven could say anything.

The blonde-haired guy sighed as he was feeling guilty because Hazel was innocent. He doesn’t know why but his body wants Katherine after the first night they mated in Hazel's apartment when she was staying with her sick father at the hospital.

He just knows if she knows really how things began to happen, she will hate them more than she has already.

As Hazel watched the sunny busy city, tears kept pouring from her eyes anytime the image of her and Katherine's memories came to her head.

Because of Katherine, she wasn’t sad at her father's funeral even tho her mother was not there. Was she so lonely that she mistook everything for love, Hazel didn’t even know what to think anymore as she covered her face and broke down in tears.

At the beautiful mansion, Alex was on his room balcony, he was not calm as he needed to know the whereabouts of the girl from last night. His head was so occupied with their family gala that he couldn’t remember what she looked like. After his father shocked everyone by announcing his and his stepmother's daughter's engagement, he angrily left and that was what was occupying his head.

Alex took the wine in his glass cup in a go when his butler knocked.

“Boss, Chairman McCollum is downstairs,” his butler said for Alex to hiss.

“Tell him I’m not in the…

“Am I not welcome in my son's home anymore?” An elderly man with a grey mixed with a black color beard and hair walks into the master bedroom. He looks around his son's black-painted bedroom as he sighs because he wonders when he will move on from his sadness.

He nodded at the butler who bowed and left.

The man sighs seeing his dead wife's big portrait on the wall.

“You should repaint your room to a brighter color Alex, black brings bad energy and besides soon, you will have a woman around and I don’t think black is any pretty girl's favorite color,” he said to Alex turning towards him.

“Since you do things without permission, you can change it yourself,” Alex said for his father to sigh.

“ Kayla is a beautiful, educated and well…

“She’s like a sister to me even thou her brain is too dumb to know that” Alex angrily said.

“She’s not your sister's son, I married her mother, you both have no relationship in…

“ yes we do the day that bitch decides to become your wife,” he said for his father to sigh.

“You shouldn’t call your mother that kind of….

“She’s not my mother.

“She was there all these years of your life to help you pass…

“Help me pass through what father? The hell she created huh? After killing my mother she thought…

“She didn’t kill Marie Alex, you were there, it’s a hit-and-run accident.

“Sent by her! I used to tell you that the day I will prove it, I will send her to where she sent my mother too. I’m leaving for work, if you are done with whatever you came for, leave” he coldly said carrying his car keys for his father to sigh.

“You should start talking about your marriage preparation with Kayla's son, I don’t want the…

“You can marry her, After all her mother didn’t find it awkward marrying her best friend's husband just months after her death so I don’t think she will find it offensive if her daughter marries her husband” Alex finally said and walked out making his father frown.

“Don’t make me use the other way son” Mr McCollum whispered after his son left.

At a little apartment with just a room and toilet, Hazel began to burn pictures of her and Katherine as the more she saw them the more she was reminded of last night's event.

That moment Hazel began to miss her father as he was the only one who knew how easily hurt she could be. After her mother abandoned them, he was both the father and mother figure to her until his last breath.

Hazel sat on the floor as her eyes were swollen because of too much crying, She had questions for both Steven and Katherine but she didn’t think it was necessary anymore.

“Goodness, my heart wants to reap out!! Why me Katherine? Why?!!” she cried out loud holding her chest as she cried out so loud within the four corners of her little apartment.

Simon tracked the moment his boss left the bar using a nearby CCTV, he watched them and everything that happened that night to the morning the CCTV showed Hazel leaving the motel barefoot in haste. After she entered a taxi, Simon was very cautious to not miss the taxi till he saw her stop at an apartment not far away from the motel making him pause it.

“I’ve found her,” he said as he immediately rushed and checked for the address of the apartment then he rushed there.

After a minute's ride, Simon arrived at the apartment and knocked. After a few knocks, a dark-haired girl opened.

“How can I help you?” She asked for Simon to smile.

“Good afternoon, I’m looking for this person,” he said to Katherine showing her a CCTV photography of Hazel.

“Who is this?” She asked forming ignorance for Simon to sigh.

“The CCTV camera showed she knocked on this door,” he said for Katherine to smile.

“I guess it’s a mistake, sir. I don’t know that girl” she said and slammed the door at Simon who frowned. He knocked again but Katherine didn’t open.

He sighed as he left dialing a number.

“Joshua, I sent a blurry picture to you, Verify who the person is,” he said hanging up as he wondered what happened his boss was hell-bent on finding the girl. After fifteen minutes, A message popped into Simon's phone.

“Name: Hazel Marie Smith

Age:23

A waitress at Blossom Restaurant for a year now and she studies at New York State University. I couldn’t find any home address because I guess she doesn’t have a particular place of residence.” The message read for Simon to nod typing back a thank you to the sender.

He searched for the name of the restaurant on his G****e map and immediately the address came, and he drove towards the restaurant.

Immediately Simon got there after he entered the restaurant, and a waitress walked towards him.

“Please have…

“I’m looking for Hazel Marie Smith” He said smiling for the waitress to frown.

“Sir I’m sorry, she called in sick,” the waitress said for Simon to nod.

“Do you have her home address?” He asked for the waitress to politely shake her head.

“I’m sorry I can’t do that” she said and walk away making Simon to sigh.

He walked out of the restaurant as he typed for job applications on their website and immediately the restaurant website opened, he sent a link to Joshua to hack it and look for the restaurant workers page.

After a few minutes, Joshua sent it to Simon Hazel's home address which he found on the worker's page on the website.

“Finally” he whispered as he drove off.

Inside the restaurant, the waitress looks at Simon who leaves making them wonder what he wants Hazel's home address for. One of the waitresses tried to call Hazel but her number was switched off, They sighed hoping their little haze was alright.

At Greenwood Street, after Simon drove into the street, he located the little home in the middle of two big houses.

He walk towards the door and knocked on it.

Hazel was already done burning the pictures, She took hot chocolate to calm down, but she still couldn’t stay calm. She took another cup of hot Chocolate but she couldn’t finish it, She tried to sleep when she heard a knock on her door.

Hazel frowns walking towards the door. she peep to see a tall guy in suit, as he kept knocking.

Slowly she opened the door for Simon to smile.

“Miss Hazel I’m afraid you have to come with me” he said for Hazel to frown.

“And you are?” She asked for Simon to sigh.

“Soon you will know,” he said for Hazel to shake her head.

“Then I’m afraid you have to leave without me,” she said as she wanted to close the door, but Simon stopped her.

“Who are you and what did you want?

Hazel fell unconscious after Simon knocked her out.

Quietly he carried Hazel out of her apartment to his car and zoomed off.

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.

    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.

    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.
