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.

    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

    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
