Steven frowns at what his fiancé is showing him, he walks towards her but she shifts away from him.

“What’s this Steven?” She asked for Steven to shake his head.

“ I have no idea baby, I swear,” he said for Diana to nod cleaning her eyes.

“She said it, he will say this word, “I have no idea, baby, I swear” and you did,” she said scoffing.

“Because it’s the truth, don’t trust whatever Katherine says to you, she’s hell-bent on destroying my life.” He said trying to touch her but she still moved away.

“First it was Hazel, I saw the awkward smile that day but I was too excited to see her to notice you. You betrayed her even though she loved you, no wonder she was saying all those words to me that day.” She said sighing.

“Can we clarify the misunderstood words Katherine said to you?.” He asked looking at her but she shook her head.

“She said you are addicted to her, she visited didn’t she?” She asks for Steven to nod.

“Now I see,” she said throwing the paint on him.

    Hazel has a beautiful smile on her face as they both walk towards the dining table. Alex dragged out a chair for her where she sat and he sat beside her. “When Gerald told me my boy is now a husband I didn’t believe it but now I understand the drama and why it was worth it. If you don’t mind Alex, please let your wife sit beside me and my wife, she reminds us of our daughter who died at the Gateway plane crash years ago” he said not minding the look from the other guest after Alex came in late. “Yes dear, come sit close to me.” Mrs Governor said for Hazel to look at Alex who nodded at her. He stood up giving her his hands which she slowly took as they both walked toward the head of the table where she sat beside the governor's wife. “Please make sure she eats,” Alex said before he left and went back to his seat. “What’s your name dear?” The governor's wife asks Hazel to smile. “Hazel John Smith,” she said for the woman to smile. “You look so beautiful, your name sounds E

    The night wasn’t as the Women of the McCollum expected it, they both walked into the van waiting for them as they waited for Gerald who was still with the governor. “Mom, I’m not staying at that house if that bitch is going to stay… “Calm down Kay, she will see what she’s looking for. I told you not to do anything while she was pregnant. Now she wants revenge and she wants to do it herself. We will welcome her honey and give her what she asks for.” Martha said for Kayla to sigh. They both sat quietly as they looked outside the van, they saw Alex and Hazel standing until the chauffeur brought their car but as they were about to get in, they stopped. Kayla saw Harden walking towards them smiling as he gave Alex his hand for a shake but still got ignored. At the governor's garage, Hazel held onto Alex's hand as they both looked at Harden who kept talking. Simon already collected the car keys from the chauffeur and sat on the driver's side waiting for his boss. “I’m sorry about Eg

    It was a bright morning, Hazel looked around as she found herself in a park, she wondered what she was doing there, she kept looking around when she heard a little boy's voice called “mom”. She turned and a five-year-old boy ran towards her. “Mom” the voice called again for Hazel to giggle. “Junior,” she said smiling at Alex look alike but with blue eyes like his mom. “Where’s dad mom?” He asked for Hazel to turn. “Alex” she called but Alex was nowhere. “Alex” she called again and when she turned to her son, he was nowhere, it was like a five-minute play that just happened. “Junior!” She screamed out only to find herself breathing heavily on Alex's shoulder. “It’s ok, I’m here” she heard Alex whisper. “Junior, he…. He… “Oh, it’s just a dream,” he said hugging her tight. “It’s ok,” he said rubbing her back before she lay back.

    Alex couldn’t say anything after his butler told him where his wife might have left. He scoffed not understanding her attitude earlier the day if it was for him to leave so she could leave or because truly she wanted to be alone. He walked back to his room and dialed Hazel's number. At the mansion, as Hazel followed the butler upstairs, she met Kayla who was walking down the stairs. “Who do we have here?” Kayla asked smiling at Hazel who smiled back knowing it was not from the heart. “Your announced guest. I hope you take care of my stay,” she said for Kayla to chuckle. “Hmm.. I hope you enjoy your stay” she said and walked past Hazel who smiled as she walked into her room. Immediately she stepped into the beautiful room, her phone began to ring. “Where are you?” She heard Alex ask quietly. “I came back from work and my wife was nowhere, where are you, Haze?” He asked for Hazel to sigh. “Family mansion,” she said for Alex to hang up. “Hello, Alex” she sighed sittin

The anger he wanted to pour on her subsided the moment he saw her.

    Hazel was dumbfounded by the text she saw on her phone, immediately she took her trousers, and a plain shirt and took her phone rushing out of the room. “Good morning madam” Grace greeted but Hazel didn’t respond as she rushed out making the maids and butler wonder what was going on. “Samuel!” She called out running towards the garage while calling Simon “Take me out of here Immediately.” She said to Sam. “Good… “I don’t have time Simon, I forwarded you a message, please track the number and send me the location.” She said as Sam drove out of the mansion while Stefan wondered what was wrong.

Should I inform the boss, he came and left early this morning.” She said for Stefan to shake his head. “ no, let’s wait and hear what happened.

Did she make it? Will she wake up soon?” She asks for the doctor to nod. “Yes, it will take a while because she fell into a coma but definitely she will wake up. Please I need you to sign all the necessary forms” he said for Hazel to nod. She followed him and did all the necessary things and also paid for the hospital bills. “Can I see her?” She asked for the doctor to nod and called a nurse to take Hazel to the wardroom.

Chief coming. Babies die,” she said, making Hazel look at Alex in alarm.“We must leave. The chief is coming, and twins are forbidden in their village,” Hazel explained.Alex scoffed, then suddenly noticed that Hazel was barefoot.“Both of you, come here,” he commanded his guards. “Carry the babies,” he said, then bent down and lifted Hazel into his arms.“Follow,” the

    Hazel clutched her belly, gasping as another wave of pain shot through her body. The young girl’s eyes widened in panic as she watched Hazel struggle to stay upright.“Mother! Father!” the girl screamed, running out of the hut.Within seconds, the woman and the hunter rushed inside, their expressions tense.“Her water broke,” the girl said breathlessly.The woman’s face hardened with urgency. She quickly moved to Hazel’s side, supporting her as she trembled.“Lay her down,” the woman instructed, speaking in their native language.Hazel whimpered, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Her body was exhausted from months of recovery, but she knew there was no stopping what was about to happen. Her babies were coming.The hunter rushed outside, calling for the village healer.“I will get the midwife!” he said and took off running.Inside the hut, Hazel gritted her teeth, trying to steady her breath.

    The woman and the hunter looked at each other. He sighed, then bit his lips. “If the chief finds out, they will kill one of the children,” he said, making the woman bite her lips in worry. “I’ve been trying to reason with him about how much it will affect our population and community if we keep killing twins. 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. We can’t take her back to where you found her because she’s running from something. We—” “My farmhouse,” he interrupted, and the woman nodded. “I will take my wife and daughter so they can help care for her until she heals,” he said, and the woman agreed. “Let’s do that now,” she said, and they both nodded in agreement.

    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. After all, he’s the reason his father committed suicide,” she said, making Harden scoff even harder.Without a word, he stood up and left. Camila immediately rose from her seat as well.“Forgive our abrupt departure, Your Excellency,” she said before rushing after Harden.“Please, let’s eat, sir,” Mrs. Governor urged. “I understand how you feel, and right now, I feel the same way.

    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. I’m doing fine here. Martinez is taking good care of me. I hope Hazel is doing well too.
