Inside a beautiful restaurant mostly used by couples, the dark-haired girl brushed her hair back as she looked at her wristwatch, She sighed looking around with a face full of worry.It was 8:30 am already and her boyfriend hadn’t shown up, he asked them to meet at the restaurant as he had something very important to say to her but it’s been almost two hours and he hadn’t shown up yet.“Ma’am please if you aren’t ordering anything, we would like to give the table to other customers please,” a waitress said to the dark-haired girl who raised her head in disappointment.“Please just a…“Miss I’m sorry but it’s almost two hours and our tables are occupied,” the waitress said for Hazel to nod. She understands as she’s also a waitress.After she stood up, she walked out of the restaurant to the busy city, She dialed a contact named Steven with a heart emoji, and after multiple rings, the phone Bimbs.Hazel put her hands inside her coat as she tried hard not to cry because she didn’t know w
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
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 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
