Hazel scoffed as she looked at her mother, she didn’t expect to be this hurt by the words her mother just said to her, she thought she had gotten over it.“I was abandoned just because I was a barrier,” she said scoffing before she nodded her head and cleaned her tears then she walked towards the door.“Hazel, honey I was stupid and young ……“Don’t ever call me honey, don’t ever call me that. Let me warn you now just so when I act you don’t say I didn’t warn you. If I ever have a child, stay away from them,” she said for Gloria to hold her hand.“Don’t let the past ruin the future…“You aren’t in my future, not in the dreams I had growing up so don’t tell me anything about the future. Letting you into my future now will be a barrier I hope you understand that.

It was already evening, Hazel stood beside the building up fire in the environment of the wooden apartment, and Alex was barbecuing in an outdoor barbecued grill. She loved it here, the silence and the sounds of the birds, the wooden apartments make it look all-natural. She imagined if she ever had children, she would want to train them to a natural life in a natural environment like this one. She didn’t expect to see such a good-looking elegant wooden apartment inside the woods, she rubbed her hands together to get warm, and when Alex wasn’t looking she walked towards Sam and another guy who was standing on the lookout.“ I didn’t expect to see you back at work. How are you feeling?” She asked for Sam to bow his head smiling.“It’s my job to make sure you are safe ma’am,” he said for Hazel to sigh.“ and Stefan?” She asks Sam to bow his head.“ still receiving treatment,” he said when a black Bentley drove towards them.

It’s been two weeks, Hazel smiled at her father who was in his hospital, he left Alex's mansion to where he would be taken care of and also prepare for his surgery. He would have stayed but since his ex-wife was still there he didn’t want to.Alex made sure the security to his room was tight because of his stepmother's unpredictable plans.“I’m fine Daddy,” Hazel said standing up as she was ready to leave because she had been there all through the day.“ I miss you, please come visit tomorrow,” he said for Hazel to nod wearing her hand gloves as it was already snowing.“Every day Daddy, just stay safe for me,” she said and hugged him before she left and Sam who was waiting at the door followed her from behind.At the highest level of the McCollum headquarters, commanding panoramic views of the city skyline or scenic surroundings through floor-to-ceiling windows.

Hazel bowed her head after she couldn’t define the expression on Alex's face. She now believes the doubt she had which was making her keep the news away after she confirmed it. She knows he doesn’t want kids yet.Hazel walks away from the bathroom to the balcony standing in the cold freezing snowy weather without a coat on. Alex immediately came back to his senses as he carried their big duvet and rushed towards her, covering her body then he carried her in a bridal style to their bed. After he gently dropped her on the bed, he closed the balcony door and walked back to her.“ why did you do that?” He asked for Hazel to keep looking at him. He wanted to come closer to her but he knows how much he irritated her now.“Was it the pregnancy that made you get irritated by me?” He asked but still she didn’t respond. Alex sighed after understanding the reason why she had changed totally in just two weeks.“ Do you want kids?” She asks Alex to frown.“ of course I do, maybe not now but I do

It was morning, Hazel woke up to the sounds of birds singing, she groaned standing up as she walked out of her father's room. Looking at how bright the weather is she knows she has woken up late. She hated the morning sickness more than anything, her head was spinning and her body was weak. As she walked towards their bedroom, the scent coming from the room freshener used in the living room turned her stomach and she ran to their bedroom straight into the toilet and threw up.“ Goodness,” she tiredly whispers.“ Alex” she called but no answer, she wondered if he had gone to work. She washed her mouth and took her bath, while carrying her bathing gel she saw a different man's bathing gel from Alex's previous ones. She chuckled looking at the other item like shampoo and she chuckled.“ He does change them.” She said as she had her bath.She walked out of the bathroom tying her towel as she walked to their dressing table and all of Alex's body products, to hair products, were changed.

LOVE AFTER BETRAYAL Shocking revelation
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
LOVE AFTER BETRAYAL Shocking identity…
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
LOVE AFTER BETRAYAL A visit to Diana 1
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
LOVE AFTER BETRAYAL What news?
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
LOVE AFTER BETRAYAL Our days are over
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
LOVE AFTER BETRAYAL The confrontation
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
LOVE AFTER BETRAYAL Shadow of obsession
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
LOVE AFTER BETRAYAL A swell of happiness..
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.”
LOVE AFTER BETRAYAL Unending chaos..
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
