Hazel immediately bowed her head looking away while Alex stood there staring at her, Grace felt like the atmosphere in the room was choking her, she needed new air before she died of suffocation. As she tried to leave, Alex stopped her.

“What happened to her?” He asked for Grace to look at Hazel who turned and looked at her shaking her head at her.

Hazel stood up smiling at Alex who was not smiling back at her.

“You didn’t say you would be coming Alex, how was the company? Hope not too much loss?” She asked for Alex to look at Grace who swallowed hard.

“Are you deaf?” He asks Grace to shake her head.

“No boss, she was.

“Grace leave us please,” Hazel cut in for Alex to stare at her.

“Speak now or I will silence you forever” he threatened for Grace to swallow hard.

“I’m sorry madam.” She apologized to Hazel first before she began to speak.

“I came out to greet the madam earlier when I saw her having arguments with Miss Kayla and it resulted in Miss Kayla slapping her,”

    It was 6:30 am Thursday, Grace was in Hazel's room when she dressed her up and made her look so beautiful in a floral yellow dress, parking her hair in a Latina woman style, leaving few strands to fall on both sides of her face and this made Hazel look pretty and unique. Her red lipstick brought out the innocent and seductive face she had. She opened her phone which she hadn’t opened since after she sent an address to the governor's wife. She saw a notification with her Husband on it. She knows is from Alex but she’s not interested in his apology or any talk. She dismissed the notification without opening it and then dropped her phone. She smiled at the mirror looking at herself, her fingernails traced the simple heart-shaped necklace Alex got her, and she sighed bowing her head. “You are so pretty ma’am” Grace complimented for Hazel to smile. “Thank you Grace for everything. Please if you join in cleaning the attic, anything related to what we discussed earlier, hide it and bring

    Alex switched off his phone stepping out of his car, he took the flower bouquet he bought and walked into the McCollum family funeral home, Simon who just arrived joined his boss as he stood facing his mother's gravestone. “Hi Mom” he heard Alex say with sadness in his voice. “I promise to bring Hazel today but she got busy and couldn’t make it. I hope you are better there. Every single night I wanted to be with you until she came and gave me a reason to stay. I’m sorry it’s taking this long mama, I’m sorry I haven’t been able to put the puzzle together mama, I’m sorry you chose the wrong man on the planet Earth” he said and Gerald silently stepped in a few moments ago felt hurt by his son's words. “Every day I wish you chose another man away from him, at least I won’t regret that part of my life mama.

    After leaving the funeral home, Alex drove straight to the elite cooking building but stayed in the garage, he closed his eyes rubbing the steering, he didn’t think he was in any position to be upset with his wife, so he looked at his wrist watch as he waited for the closing time of the elite cooking class. After an hour, he heard the paparazzi making noise meaning the elite women were leaving so he stayed still until he heard them calling “ Mrs governor” which he immediately opened his car and stepped out.

    It was morning, the sun shone bright and the rays fell on sleeping Hazel's face, her long lashes shook and her blue eyes came into view, she yawned turning to her side but Alex was not beside her. She gently sat up and walked towards the bathroom, she saw a new cloth hanging on the door which made her smile. The image of last night came playing back in her head as she gently unbuttoned Alex's shirt before she stepped into the bathtub. Hazel smiled closing her eyes to relax, the image of last night's intimacy began to play in her head again. Seems like every time they mate, Alex gets more intense, the way he kissed her yesterday from the entrance of his office door to the office bedroom, he gently lay her down while still kissing her. “ please loose my hands” she whispered for Alex to shake his head. “ not yet” he whispered. He kissed her neck down to her abdomen, he intensely kissed her navel which made Hazel chuckle before he moved gently to her v area. “Alex please” she

    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 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.

    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
