Why is my boss asking me to send her meals? Is she not supposed to be with Alexander McCollum? what’s going on?” A lot of questions were all over Katherine's head so she buried her shame and knocked hard on Hazel's door.“ leave us alone witch, what do you want? You took Steven, you exposed my father, and because of you I ran away from my marriage and now you are here. What do you….“ my boss asked me to send this meal to this room number,” she said to Hazel who was looking at her furiously.“ fuck out” Hazel

Hazel was shocked and same time surprised to see Sam tied down on a chair with his face swollen from getting beat up.“S..Sam” she called covering her mouth.“Can you loose the ropes around him please,” she said for Harden to nod at his guards and they loosed the ropes around Sam immediately.“Madam” Sam called as he fell on his kneel.“Please get me his coat,” Hazel said worriedly as Harden wondered if she knew him.“Don’t touch him” Harden stops Hazel holding her hands as she collects Sam's coat to go cover him up. Hazel looked at Harden before she released her hands from him and rushed towards Sam and covered him up.“What are you doing here? why did you end up here?” She asks for Sam to sigh.“Boss is not himself” he whispered for Hazel to close her eyes.“I can’t go back, please they will let you go and tell him I’ve found someone else whom I love and he should move on,” she said for Sam to look at Harden and then at Hazel before he shook his head.“I’m sorry I can’t do that,” he

He looked at Simon after their boss left.“ how will he get to her?” He asked for Simon to sigh.“He will, he knows his ways. Besides, The McCollum is a shareholder in the Howells estate, top shareholders for that matter so he can have access to the estate. My prayer is for his PTSD to not attack him while he’s driving because he looks very angry” he says to Sam sighing.“Come, let me call a nurse for you, you look like a ripe tomato,” he said for Sam to bow his face trying not to laugh.On the night busy road in Pennsylvania, Alex drives strait to the Howells's homes, he’s trying hard not to think what the letter read because it’s too obvious she wants to push him away, he should marry Kayla, Those words alone have made him want to punish her and to wrap it up she has found someone else she wants to be with for peace, is that how she has little love for him.

Alex frowns after hearing the voice of the person knocking on the door.“Haze, open up” Harden's voice sounded for Alex to scoff.“Haze, Haze.. this bastard,” he said walking to the door when he heard Harden's voice again.“ I was called they might be an intruder, but they can’t barge in that’s why I was called please open up, I don’t want to break the door Haze,” He said for Alex to scoff.“Superhero” he scoffed as he clicked the door open and worried Harden became frozen seeing the half-naked broad shoulders, a full masculine chest, and six-pack abs standing in his front wearing only his office pants.When he looks at the face of the man he frowns the more.“Can I help you, Mr Howells?” Alex's cold voice asks for Harden to scoff.“ Mr McCollum, what are you doing here?” He asks Alex to chuckle.“ do I need a reason to be with my wife?” He asks for Harden to frown.“ I’m married” the voice of Hazel telling him she’s married flashes into his head.“ excuse me? Is Hazel your wife or…“

It was morning, Hazel yawned as she slowly opened her eyes. The beautiful elegant room made her squeeze her eyebrows. It doesn’t look like Harden's luxurious room she once mysteriously woke up in neither did it look like Alex's cold bedroom. Hazel looks around and everywhere looks so quiet.She tried to stand up but her legs were weak and her waist was also weak.“ Damn Alex” she cursed as last night's unexpected event began to play in her head. She looked around but her phone wasn’t around her. She sighed as she finally stood up and gently walked to the big mirror at the side of the room. She looked at her neck and faint hickeys were there.“ Alex” she called sighing.She went out of the room and quietly walked downstairs, she saw her father and Alex discussing in the lounge area.“Dad” she called for Smith to look at her.“ you are awake baby” Alex stood up and went to hug her smiling.“ don’t touch me” she whispered as she gently pushed Alex away from her which made her father chuc

It was evening already, Hazel was so tired from the nonstop sexual activities they had done for hours. Her legs were so weak that Alex had to carry her to the chopper that would take them to New York.“What did you do to my daughter?” Mr smith asks Alex to chuckle.“Dad, common, don’t ask such questions,” Hazel said shyly for her father and Alex to laugh.Smith didn’t see this excitement on his daughter's face till this tall-looking man came yesterday. Now he understands why she cried so much. He could see how much they needed each other presence. After they settled in the chopper, Alex whispered in Hazel's ears after covering her in a fluffy blanket and immediately she frowned shaking her head.“ I thought you were eager?” He asked for Hazel to sigh.“ I was eager but not anymore,” she said for Alex to nod as he pecked her head.“ but your dad won’t mind reuniting with his long-lost love,” he said for Hazel to sigh.“ I just don’t know what emotions to show if I see her Alex,” she sa

Alex signed and approved most of the documents in the folder when Kayla majestically walked in with Simon behind her.“State your reason?” Alex said not raising his head as he kept sighing the office documents.“ if it’s the design plans, I haven’t gone through them that’s why I haven’t approved it to be sent….“Why?” he asked still not looking at her as he kept going through the documents.“I just need….“Send her pay for her little useless time here in the company,” he said finally raising his head.“ you are fired,” he said nonchalantly for Kayla to scoff.“ excuse me….“ don’t think, your slut mother is my father’s wife means that I can’t take action on you. Here in the McCollum’s we don’t accept and tolerate sluggishness and most importantly, laziness. Your service is no longer needed. You can leave” he said for Kayla to frown.“ keep the position vacant until I ask you to scout. Tell the design manager to come to my office immediately.” Alex said acting like Kayla was no longer

Hazel looked at Dr. Frank with her eyes wide open as he kept rubbing her stomach until he officially confirmed he could hear two heartbeats.“Congratulations once again, Mrs. McCollum,” he said, helping Hazel up.“So, what is it, Frank? Is the baby healthy? You said two heartbeats—am I having twins?” she asked anxiously.Dr. Frank nodded, and Hazel teared up, covering her mouth with her hands.“Twins? Is it a boy and a girl, two girls, or two boys?” she asked, her excitement evident.Dr. Frank chuckled at her enthusiasm. “Well, it’s a boy and a girl.”Hazel gasped and covered her mouth again in excitement. “Please don’t say anything to Alex. I want to surprise him with it,” she said.Dr. Frank nodded. “Of course, ma’am. Congratulations once again.”He helped Hazel walk back to his office, where Grace and the guards were waiting.At the General’s villa, Gloria sat, looking around. The luxurious, old-money-style villa made her wonder who had invited her over.“Please come with me, ma’am

The sunshine streamed brightly through the curtains in the spacious bedroom, casting its warm rays on Hazel as she slept. Her elegant facial features twitched slightly under the light before her long lashes fluttered. Finally, she opened her eyes. Her luscious lips parted as she slowly came back to reality.Hazel yawned deeply, then sat up.“Good morning, madam,” a familiar voice greeted her, prompting Hazel to frown as she turned toward the figure.“Grace?” she exclaimed in surprise.Grace stood in her maid’s uniform, bowing her head respectfully.“Give me a hug, Grace. I’ve missed you so much,” Hazel said, her eyes welling up with tears. Without hesitation, Grace stepped forward and embraced her.“Please don’t cry, madam,” Grace said gently, rubbing Hazel’s back. “I wouldn’t know what to say to the boss if he walked in and saw you like this,” she added anxiously.“Don’t mind me; this pregnancy makes me so emotional,” Hazel said, wiping her tears. “It’s been months, Grace. How are yo

The doors to the dining room opened, and three men in black suits entered silently, their imposing presence casting a shadow over the room. Alex smirked, his tone ice-cold. “I mean, Mr. Lark, that your time has run out.” The assistant paled, his hands trembling as the men in black closed in. *Outside the Villa* A convoy of cars pulled up near the entrance to the McCollum estate. The general, sitting stiffly in the backseat of his car, glanced at his assistant. “I don’t think it’s wise to approach the villa uninvited,” the general said, his voice calm but firm. “Shall I write to Mrs. McCollum, then? Ask about her health and that of your great-grandchild?” the assistant offered. The general nodded, his lips curving into a rare smile. “Yes, do that. And… one more thing. Have you found her mother?” “Yes, sir,” the assistant replied. “She’s currently in the city.” “Invite her to the villa,” the general said, his expression unreadable. The assistant hesitated. “Are you sure, sir?

Simon immediately followed Alex’s instructions. As expected, Alex approved of the arrangements. The drive back to the villa was dead silent. Hazel held Alex’s hand tightly, watching him carefully for any unusual signs that might necessitate returning to the hospital. “When are the workers in the mansion coming back?” she asked, breaking the silence and earning a small smile from Alex. “They’re already back. I just want us to stay at the villa until you give birth,” Alex replied, his tone calm. Hazel sighed. “It’s lonely in the villa. At least in the mansion, the maids keep me company when you’re away.” Alex nodded thoughtfully. “I don’t trust them with you. They might accept money to hurt you. Let’s stay here until our child is born,” he said, lifting her hand to his lips and planting a gentle kiss. “And the scan?” Alex asked, watching Hazel closely. “You remember?” Hazel responded with a smile. “Of course. I dare not forget anything about you,” he said, making Hazel blush. “I

Hazel sat in the cold weather as Alex slept soundly, unaware of Simon being out on tasks. The gentle snow falling outside caught her attention so deeply that she didn’t notice someone enter the room. “Erhem,” a familiar voice said, causing Hazel to turn abruptly. Supporting her stomach, she stood up swiftly. “How dare you step your filthy feet in here?” she demanded, her voice full of rage, as Harden raised his hands in mock surrender. “Guards!” she called out, but Harden sighed in response. “Chill. I wouldn’t be here if the guards were active. I just came to visit,” he said, watching Hazel reach for her phone. She knew the sedative Alex was under wouldn’t allow him to wake up. “Haze, chill—” “Don’t call me that!” Hazel snapped, furiously dialing Simon’s number. “I came for a business deal,” Harden continued, undeterred. “I just wanted to check on him after hearing he was in an—” “Or you came to see if he survived the accident you planned!” Hazel cut him off furiously. “Get ou

Alex’s eyes opened slowly, his gaze unfocused but alive. Hazel sobbed with relief, pressing a kiss to his hand. “You’re here… you’re still with us,” she whispered. Alex’s voice was hoarse, barely audible. “Hazel… what happened?” “You were in an accident,” she said softly. “But you’re going to be okay.” His brow furrowed, memories flickering through his mind. “It wasn’t… an accident,” he rasped. Hazel nodded, her voice trembling. “We know. And we’ll find out who did this. Together.” Simon stepped forward, his expression grim. “Sir, we think it was Harden McCall.” Alex’s eyes darkened, his jaw tightening. “Harden… he won’t get away with this.” Hazel squeezed his hand, her resolve matching his. “No, he won’t. We’ll make sure of it.”the soft knock on the hospital door pulled Hazel’s attention away from Alex. A middle-aged man in a white coat stepped in, carrying a clipboard.“Mrs. McCollum, I’m Dr. Harris, I will be taking over from Doctor Gabriel, he has a family emergency,” he s

Tears streamed down the driver’s face as he shook his head. “I didn’t mean to… I swear I didn’t…”The driver’s sobs grew louder, and he buried his face in his hands. “I… I needed the money… but I didn’t think… It wasn’t supposed to…” He broke off, shaking his head in despair. Grant ignored him, stepping out of the room to make a call. “Officer Grant,” a voice answered on the other end. “I’ve got a lead,” Grant said. “Trace the account that sent this transfer. We’re dealing with something bigger than a random accident.”… “Understood,” the voice replied. Grant hung up, his mind racing. He had a gut feeling this wasn’t just a case of reckless driving—it was a targeted attack. And someone wanted Alex McCollum dead. Back at the hospital, Hazel stirred awake, her face still pale and tear-streaked. She glanced around and found Simon seated by the window, speaking quietly on the phone. Alex lay on the hospital bed beside her, his breathing steady but labored. “Simon,” Hazel called

The doctor let out a heavy sigh, his face shadowed with sympathy as he looked into Hazel’s striking blue eyes, which were now brimming with tears. She stood there, shaking, the weight of his silence suffocating her. “We tried our best, but…” His voice wavered, trailing off. “What?!” Hazel screamed, her body jolting forward in shock. Simon, her steadfast support, quickly caught her before she fell. His own face was a mask of anguish, his eyes glassy with unshed tears. “We did everything we could, ma’am,” the doctor said softly, lowering his gaze. “But I’m sorry. The blow to his head was… too severe. He didn’t make it.” “No! No, no, no!” Hazel cried, her voice piercing and raw. She wrestled free from Simon’s arms, shaking her head violently. “Don’t say that to me! Where’s my husband?” Her frantic eyes searched the room for any sign of Alex, her desperation palpable. Simon stood frozen, helplessly watching her crumble. “Ma’am, please,” the doctor interjected, his tone gentle but fi

Inside the McCall office, Harden anxiously drummed his fingers on the polished oak desk, his sharp eyes darting between the wall clock and his expensive wristwatch. The silence in the room was suffocating, broken only by the rhythmic ticking of the clock. He exhaled deeply, frustration evident in his posture. Suddenly, his phone buzzed, breaking the stillness.“You agreed that if I do this, I’ll get twenty percent of the shares in McCall Corporation?” the voice on the other end asked sharply. Harden let out a slow sigh, gripping the phone tighter.“It’s a signed deal, Mr. Lark. Just do this for me,” Harden said curtly, his voice laced with impatience.“Alright,” Lark replied, though there was a hint of reluctance in his tone. “But don’t associate me with this if it doesn’t turn out as you wanted.”Harden’s lips curled into a sly smile. “And if it doesn’t turn out as I wanted, you won’t be getting twenty percent. You’ll get ten percent at most,” he countered, his voice cold and calcula
