The next day, Hazel stayed at home angrily. She had lied to Mia that she was not feeling well and couldn't show up for work; she spent her entire day watching a movie alone since Coyle was at the office.Her phone kept chiming new messages from Coyle, and all she did was read the messages; a new message arrived, adding to the others.Coyle: Are you upset?Coyle: I will make it up to you; you won’t regret not going to work.Coyle: Come on, baby, just reply.“Mrs. Anderson,” Sharon called, bringing her out of her trance. Behind Sharon was a group of makeup artists who had come to prepare her for the party tonight.“Good day, Mrs. Anderson,” the leader greeted, and Hazel was about to reply when her phone rang. She checked the caller, and it was an unknown number.“He now uses a strange number to call me." Hazel chuckled, knowing fully well that it was Coyle, and connected the call.“Why did...” she was saying and suddenly paused when she heard a lady’s voice.“Good evening, this is a nur
Coyle’s gaze was stuck on Hazel, who lay on the bed with the doctor examining her; he had never felt this tense and helpless and was also getting impatient with the doctor.“Is she alright?” He asked for the eleventh time, and the doctor chose to reply to him this time around.“She is very much alive, Mr. Anderson, so don’t be scared,” he assured Coyle, who sighed heavily, when he saw her unconsciously sitting in that car. So many thoughts had crossed his mind, and all he needed was a medical doctor’s opinion.The doctor stood up and walked towards Coyle. “A strong sedative was used to make her unconscious, but she is fine and will wake up when the effect dies down.”Coyle nodded. It’s okay. She could sleep, as long as it’s assured that she will wake up.“I will take my leave now; I will have the maid get the medication,” the doctor explained before he left. Coyle walked to the bed and sat next to Hazel. His finger brushed her cheek.“I am sorry,” he apologized. He felt this had happe
“I am fine; it won’t take long to make one, so let it be." Hazel tried convincing him, but he had already made up his mind. He held her shoulders, pushing her gently on the bed so she could go back to sleep, covered her body with the duvet, and picked up his phone.“I will be back,” he assured her and walked to the door when she called out for him.“Did I ruin the anniversary?” she asked in a guilty tone.“I told you to stop thinking of unnecessary things, right?” He questioned, and a frown formed on her face.“What are the necessary things? You always say everything is unnecessary,” she scoffed. If he didn't want to answer, then let him not, but
The next morning at 6am, Hazel freshened up and walked downstairs. She found Ray and Coyle asleep on the couch, and this made her feel bad; now she felt guilty for closing the door last night.But when she thought of how they both took her for a fool yesterday, a frown formed on her lips, and she clicked a photo of Ray and sent it to Tasha while adding the message.“Come pick up your husband,” she chuckled. Tasha’s response came in immediately.Tasha: I don’t have a husband; you could give him out to the maid.And then another message popped up.Tasha: Come to the gate.Hazel was confused; why should she go to the gate? She took a last look at Coyle before she walked out of the house and hurried to the gate.To her surprise, she found Tasha by the gate, leaning on her car.Immediately Tasha spotted Hazel; she pulled her into a tight hug as her eyes became sore. “I was so scared when they told me you were kidnapped; who will dare do such a thing?”It was at 2am that Ray found it necess
Hazel sat on the couch angrily; she had her arms folded and her gaze focused on the wall. She just couldn't believe that he would ask her to quit her job; why should she?Coyle stood by the stairs staring at her; he knew why she was upset, but just couldn't believe that this was what he needed to do to see how she looked when upset.“Baby,” he called, but Hazel turned a deaf ear to him; he approached her and stood before her.“What’s this look for?” Coyle asked, but Hazel still remained mute.“Do you want to come to the office with me?” He asked; he was trying to make it up to her and also try to strengthen their bond, but she still didn't say a thing.“The driver will bring you if you change your mind,” he stated before he walked to his car outside, which drove out. Immediately his car was out of sight… Hazel hurried upstairs and slipped into a shirt and a black pencil skirt.She hurried downstairs and found Josh by the entrance; he seemed to be waiting for her, probably to take her
Tasha picked Hazel in front of the Anderson group, and she kept glancing at Hazel throughout the ride, wondering why she changed her mind.“Did you get into an argument with your husband?” Tasha asked, and Hazel shook her head in denial. It was more like he had given her orders that she would like to follow.“I just want to travel and spend his money,” Hazel answered, and this caused Tasha to chuckle. She knew how to spend money so well and wouldn't mind teaching her friend.“Then let’s go shopping first. You need some clothes for the vacation.”Tasha parked the car in front of a boutique that was known for selling high-quality clothes that weren't made in the country; she pulled Hazel in, and Hazel couldn’t take her eyes off the clothes.“Go on, choose some,” Tasha said.“I want this.” Hazel pulled out the first gown, then the second and the third.She stood at the center and inspected the clothes. “Will this card do if I wish to get all this?” Hazel asked Tasha, who chuckled and app
“Oh God, this is my worst night. I get to see two jerks at the same time." Hazel muttered loud enough for Damon to hear, he was a little hurt but chose not to make it visible.“Why are you here, Hazy?”“Are you stalking me?” Hazel asked in disbelief. Of all the clubs, why was he here? This club wasn't even in town, so why was he here unless he followed her?“I wish I did, but I came for my friend’s club opening. He owns the club,” Damon explained, and Hazel took a sip of her wine before she asked.“And you? What do you own? A flower shop?” She mocked him, and Damon chuckled.“I am a lot more than the eyes can see; if you get to know me well, then you will realize I am fun and real.” “Hey!!” Tasha scolded, and he turned towards her.“This is a girl’s moment, so get lost as well.”Damon nodded, he still had to discuss with some people as well. He turned back his attention to Hazel. “It’s not advisable for pretty girls to be out this late; you should go back early.”“If men like you go
Hazel slowly opened her eyes and quickly closed them because of the harsh light. “Ahh,” she gripped her head and tried to sit up.“Ma’am, do you feel pain?” Sharon asked; luckily, she had already bought the hangover pills and quickly shoved the glass of water towards Hazel.“Here, take this.” Hazel stared at Sharon for a while before she scanned the bedroom. “Where is Coyle?” she asked.“Sir is downstairs; please have the pills first,” Sharon insisted, and Hazel nodded before she swallowed the hangover pills.Only then did she try to reminisce about what happened, she was having a drink last night with Tasha, and they were about to leave when a man showed up and pulled her outside, trying to harass her, but luckily Damon showed up and saved her.Then Coyle showed up. “He was so upset,” she thought and turned to Sharon.“Please close the door.” She had a pleading look, not willing to share a word with Coyle.“I don’t think it’s advisable for you to anger Sir anymore, he is already ver
The hall was filled with big business men who had all showed up for the launching of the new product who was told will change their lives forever.Coyle was busy discussing with some business men who kept trying to congratulate him for the product “I think you are congratulating the wrong person…Tradtech has a CEO you know” he said, he knew they were trying to garner favour from him so they could get the product installed in their companies and homes but he had no say in it.“But you are the…”“Yeah but i don’t handle Tradtech businesses anymore…” Coyle explained, of course he remains one of the biggest shareholder of Tradtech but he didn’t manage the business…he was focused on other lines of business and his wifeTalking of his wife, Hazel had just stepped into the hall with Muna and the others. A smile formed on his lips before he turned to those business men “Excuse me”They chuckled among themselves “He is a finished man, look at him running to his wife” they burst out in laughter
Mia sat in her office watching a Korean movie with a wide smile plastered on her face. She had chosen to be happy and come to terms with the fact that she will never get a fairytale romance life.A knock came from the door, and she frowned. “I am busy,” she yelled and continued with her movie, but the door pushed open, and her gaze shifted to the door.“You.” She quickly dropped her phone, and Jude scanned her office, his gaze landing on the many awards she displayed in her office, and couldn’t help but chuckle; it was so her.“Uhm…how can I help you?” Mia asked while rubbing her palms nervously, It’s been a month, and she hasn’t talked to him and chose to focus on healing because she knew there was no way he would ever consider her.“Here,” he shoved a folder to Mia, who picked it up and went through it, and her eyes lit up, but she chose to be composed.“Is this real?” she asked, and Jude nodded, and a smile formed on her lips.“Wait…why did you accept now?” She wondered, earlier wh
Damon was quickly sent to the emergency room with Dora, and Arthur kept pacing in front of the ward with Muna.“My grandson,” Muna was all pale from crying so much; she just wanted her grandson to be fine.“He will be fine,” Coyle said from behind, and they all turned to him before Muna hurried and hugged him tightly.“Coyle…Coyle.”“I am fine, Muna.” He kissed her forehead and smiled at Arthur, who nodded.“How is Hazel?” Muna asked, and Coyle nodded.“They are fine,” he replied with a wide smile. The doctors already did a checkup on her, and she was fine… All she needed was rest and a good meal.“They?” Arthur questioned.“Hmm…she is pregnant,” he blurted, and they all got sore eyes before the emergency ward pushed open.“How are they?” Arthur hurried to the doctor.“Your wife’s case is so critical, and I don’t think she will be able to live past five minutes,” the doctor explained, and Arthur gritted his teeth.“But your son is fine… He will be transferred to the general ward soon,
Dora chuckled and smacked her lips. “Coyle Anderson,” she called, and he walked closer and stood next to Damon.“Where is Hazel?”“If you go on your knee and beg me, then maybe…just maybe I could tell you where she is.” Dora burst out in laughter; she couldn’t believe they thought she was going to tell them where Hazel was.“I gave you what you asked for, so why didn’t you keep your side of the deal?” Coyle questioned, and Dora scoffed.“So what? I tell you where Hazel is and then get arrested by the cops?” She questioned, and Ray’s gaze moved to her phone, which was on the chair and kept ringing in silence.“Why? Why do this to me? My parents loved you.” Coyle questioned because he just couldn’t understand why Dora could do such.“I will check the other rooms.” Damon walked past Dora and picked up her phone before he dialled the number that just called her.“The ship is ready, but the lady keeps nagging. Is it okay if we give her sleeping pills?” A voice asked over the phone, and Dam
Coyle hurried to the kid who had cried his eyes out; there was a bomb wrapped around his waist, and he had no idea what to do.“Calm down….I am here,” he muttered and suddenly heard footsteps from the door. He quickly turned to find the cops and the expert.“Hurry up,” he prompted the expert, who stepped forward and got busy trying to deactivate the bomb.“Get him out of here…please,” Coyle said and turned to leave when Sven called.“Father…please, I am scared; don’t leave me here,” he cried out, and Coyle clenched his fist.He walked back, and the expert was taking a lot of time to deactivate the bomb. “It’s complicated, one minute,” he assured Coyle before he finally succeeded in deactivating it.“Sven…these men will take you home, and I will be right there, okay? I just have to find the criminals responsible for this,” he explained to the kid, who nodded.“Come with me.” Coyle pointed at the expert who followed him to his car, and he drove out before dialling Ray’s contact.“Did yo
Coyle had signalled the officers, and they were busy searching for Sven as well, and Sharon served everyone coffee, but they were all anxious waiting for Dora’s message.It had been more than an hour since she last called, and Coyle was already losing his mind. “She is doing this intentionally,” Coyle cursed before he clenched his fist.Damon’s phone rang, and he stared at them. “It’s her,” he said, and the call got connected before he placed it on speaker.“Your wife is such a nuisance, and I am tired of her… So I will tell you her location,” Dora said with a frustrated tone. She was tired.“And Sven…he is so noisy.”“Why do you have Sven? He is your grandson, so will you also hurt him?” Tasha asked in disbelief, was Dora that heartless?“I know how much Coyle loves his kid and wife, so I am going to hold onto them dearly,” she chuckled before Coyle’s phone signalled new messages.Dora had sent images to him; the first was one of Hazel tied to a chair with a bomb wrapped around her,
Coyle kept driving at full speed. After Dora had called her men, they were able to track Hazel’s location and immediately got into the car and drove out.“We are almost there.” Jude was behind his car with Ray, and they kept driving at full speed before arriving at the forest driveway leading to the mansion.“Coyle!!” Coyle’s gaze moved out of the window when he heard Hazel call; he saw a truck drive past them, and he could spot Hazel by the window.He quickly stopped the car. “Hazel…” he muttered and turned the wheels of his car, but countless nails were poured behind the truck, but he didn’t mind and drove past them as it ruined all his tyres.“Hazel,” he called and kept driving, but his car slowed down, and the truck was suddenly out of sight. He hurried down the car and pulled his hair in frustration when Jude and Ray ran to him.“They transferred her,” Ray said, and Coyle kicked his car angrily and kept pulling his hair…he was close…so close to her.“Fuck…fuck Dora,” he scolded a
Damon had stayed in his bedroom for a while now, lost in thought. He can’t believe his world was falling apart. All this while he blamed Coyle, meanwhile his mum was behind it.His phone rang, bringing him out of his trance, and he checked the caller…it was Coyle.He chuckled; this was the first time in ten years that Coyle ever rang his phone. “Hmm,” Damon said once the call got connected.“We are all set.”Damon walked out of his bedroom and downstairs before he scanned the sitting room but couldn’t find anyone. His gaze landed on Dora’s phone, which was on the table.His gaze moved to the kitchen, where he found Dora making coffee, so he hurried to her phone and unlocked it before he kept manipulating it.“Is it linked?” Damon asked Coyle who was still connected, but there was no reply, so he kept trying to link the phone.“It’s linked.” Coyle said, “We are going through the messages and her call logs…” Coyle added, and Damon dropped the phone and rubbed his palms nervously, hoping
Jude kept going through the company footage on his laptop. He had seen when some men hurried and hid in Hazel’s car before she got in. He kept replaying it to see if he could get their faces, but they all wore masks.Ray sat next to him with a frustrated tone. “Wait…zoom in,” he said, and Jude did just that before he stared at the watch one of the men had.“It’s customised, there must be a name….keep zooming” he said before he stood up and walked to Coyle who has been busy making phone calls, he just wanted everyone on the case.“If Dora has her, then believe me, she won’t hurt her… There is something she wants and probably plans to use her as collateral,” he explained, and Coyle chuckled.“Her husband is scared of her….so isn't that enough signal that she is a crazy person?” Coyle scolded before his gaze shifted to the door and he spotted Damon; he clenched his fist and walked to the door.“You have some balls showing up here” he scolded and Damon itched his nose.“I only came to hel
