Damon said this while ignoring Coyle’s threatening gaze; he thought, “If he thinks sending me to jail will make me fear him, then he should think again.”“I will leave now.” Hazel waved at Muna and Dora before she got her purse upstairs and left the mansion with Coyle. He sat next to her, busy on his phone, while she focused on the city view during the drive.Soon, the car parked in front of the Anderson mansion, and they both walked down the car, and Hazel was about to walk in when she noticed a brand new Mercedes Benz GLE by the side and got curious.“Did someone come?” Hazel thought they must have visitors and was even more curious to get to the sitting room to see who it was.On arrival, she couldn't find anyone. “No one?”“Coyle,” Hazel called; only then did she realise he was behind her and had a car key extended towards her.“If you don’t like the colour or mark, then I will get it changed,” Coyle explained, and Hazel’s eyes widened in shock.“What?” she muttered in disbelief,
Hazel couldn’t get over the excitement of getting a new car; she kept staring at the car with a smile on her face. She was finally brought out of her trance by a call from Coyle; he had left for work two hours ago. Why was he suddenly calling? She thought before the call got connected.“Hello?”“I will pick you up tonight; let’s have dinner,” he said, and Hazel had a bright smile on her face.“Okay,” she answered, and he said a few things before the call disconnected.Hazel sent a message to Tasha asking if they could go shopping as she wanted to get a ring for Coyle, and Tasha agreed at once; after all, she didn't want to be stuck at home.Minutes later, Tasha showed up at the Anderson’s mansion, and as she walked down to her car, her gaze was focused on the new car at the entrance.“Hey.” Hazel approached her so they could leave, but Tasha pointed at the car.“Did Coyle get a new car?”A smile crept on Hazel’s lips, and Tasha got to understand what was going on just from her smile.
Hazel ended the call with her mum and had found the perfect pair of earrings. She picked up her purse and approached the seller and shoved the earrings to her.“Please add this with the ring.”The lady nodded and asked for Hazel’s card, which she handed, and it was swiped.“Thanks,” Hazel smiled at the lady before she turned to leave the shop with Tasha, but an alarm signalled.The security guards quickly rushed towards them, but this left them surprised.“Why did the alarm set on? We paid for the jewellery,” Tasha asked in a confused tone before the seller lady walked towards them.“Hum, it must be a false alarm. Can you please hand the jewellery to me and try to walk out again?” she asked in a respectful tone, as the ladies had just bought two expensive pieces of jewellery, and they couldn’t be thieves.Hazel handed the jewellery back to the lady and tried stepping out of the shop, and it signaled an alarm again.“What’s happening?” Hazel asked, confused.“I am sorry, ma’am, but can
Hazel chuckled before she sipped the wine, and she could still feel some grape remains on her lips. “So good,” Hazel commented, and Coyle stood up and approached her. He extended his hand to her, which she took with a confused look.“The problem is, I trust you a lot. And since you think the wine is so good, then I want to have a taste,” he muttered before his lips moved to her neck and he placed a soft, wet kiss.“Umm, I am starving.” Hazel spouted, trying to stop him from being naughty in a public place. It’s true there was no one else in the restaurant, but what if the servers were somewhere watching?He pouted and wrapped his hand around her waist. “Why do you treat your husband so badly?”“Why do you mistreat me as well?” She asked, and he raised a brow, wondering how he mistreated her.“Fine, food” Coyle returned to his seat and pressed the button next to him; the servers displayed a lot of meals on the table, and Hazel dug in at once.She had a stressful day and was famished; C
Coyle was deep in thought and didn’t pay attention to the shareholders, who kept placing their concern about how he went ahead to sign a contract without their opinion.“Mr. Anderson,” Jude called, since he noticed Coyle was not being attentive, Coyle sighed heavily, and his gaze moved to the door.This time around, Hazel didn’t come to his office and try to fix things; this time he knew it was his fault and he had to make it up.“Get me flowers and chocolates.” Coyle ordered Jude, and this made the shareholders confused and angry; did he take them for a joke?“We know you are the CEO, but our money is on the line,” one of the oldest shareholders, Mr. John, said angrily. He had called the other shareholders and organised a meeting because he was upset about Coyle treating them like nothing.“Did you lose any money?” Coyle asked, and there was no reply; he leant forward and asked.“You each have little shares in this company, and I do my best to make sure you get your money's worth whi
Coyle’s finger traced her stomach, and her grip on his shoulder tightened with every one of his touches.“You are so pretty,” he whispered and pulled her closer to him; their bodies collided together before they engaged in a deep kiss.Coyle was quick to unhook her bra and placed soft kisses on her neck.“Hmm,” he muttered after taking a proper look at her, how perfectly she was created; one his hands chose to play with one of her peaches when he placed the other in his mouth, teasing every corner of her body like his life depended on it.“Mr. Anderson,” a knock came from the door, but Coyle didn't care; he flipped Hazel over the bed and stood between her thighs and bit his lip.“Sharon is at the door,” Hazel muttered, and Coyle also didn't pay attention to her words; right now he was like a desperate man who just couldn't hold back himself.His hands rubbed her thighs as she gripped tightly on the sheets.“Coyle” Ray’s loud voice could be heard from the door, and this caused him to f
Hazel walked towards Nady angrily. “What are you doing here?” she asked, and Nady rolled her eyes.“Our parents and your in-laws are downstairs. We will go to the cemetery together. So I decided to come upstairs and be the first to greet you," Nady explained, and Hazel rolled her eyes.“Get out of my bedroom,” she scolded, and Nady stood up, her gaze locked with Hazel’s.“You mean the bedroom that was originally mine? Don’t forget you are living my life.” Nady made sure to remind Hazel this every time they met, as she felt like her sister had a short memory.“So what? You are not Coyle Anderson’s bride, and that is a fact". Hazel mocked in disbelief. Didn't her sister get tired of such arguments?“You claimed to be Coyle’s wife, but yet you couldn't even convince him to give Max a job.”Hazel burst out in laughter. “I thought he got a job already,” Hazel muttered before she went into deep thought.“He has been texting me about the weather conditions and what type of clothes to wear b
Tasha parked her car before the cemetery and walked down with Hazel when they spotted Arthur and Damon.“Hello, uncle.” Hazel greeted and Arthur smiled at her when Damon extended his hand towards her.“How are you doing, dear sister-in-law?”Hazel stared at his hand for a while before she ignored it, and the awkward moment was interrupted when Muna’s car arrived and they walked down to the car.“Hazel, did Coyle tell you at what time he will be here?” Dora asked, and Hazel smiled awkwardly. He said he would show up, but he wasn't here yet.Did he get too busy at work and forget about his parents death anniversary?“He must be on his way.” Tasha chimed in and responded, and she noticed Nady roll her eyes, but Tasha had a mocking look. If not for attention, then why will Nady ever show up here? It’s not like she valued her sister that much.“Are we going in or not? Some of us need to hurry back to work after this," Damon snorted, and a car drove in; Hazel’s eyes lit up but were quickly
Hazel got to the bedroom and found Coyle busy on a call, and she hurried and stood before him, sensing the urgency of the matter. Coyle hung up the call and raised a brow.“Have you seen the news? Uncle Arthur has been arrested.” Hazel said in disbelief and Coyle just stared at her with an unmoved reaction. She furrowed her brow before a chuckle escaped her lips; she now understood his words yesterday.“You did this?” she asked, and Coyle nodded; there was no way he was going to spare a man who killed his parents. Absolutely no way.“But I had no idea. What’s going on Coyle?” Hazel questioned, but Coyle smiled at her; he was happy, though not satisfied.He wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her closer. “Don’t bother about such things; I already told you that you are not part of their family and life,” he muttered, and Hazel shook her head in denial.“They are your family, and some matters need to be discussed in between the members of the family first before you know… and I
Kev stared at Mia in disbelief. “What did you say?” Kev felt like she heard wrong.“I am going to transfer 10 million to you now and the remaining 10 million after you cancel the wedding and leave the country,” Mia explained, and Kev thought for a while.She walked back to Mia and folded her arms below her bosom. “Are you going to pay me 20 million to leave Jude?” Kev inquired again, and Mia nodded.“Then he must be really worth it. What makes you think I will leave my fiancé for money?” Kev chuckled.“Because you are with him for money,” Mia answered. She was losing her cool because Kev just rejected her offer. She knew well that Kev would accept at once because she loved money, but that wasn't the case.“You are pretty and have a lot of money; go find yourself a man and do not come for mine.” Kev snorted and turned to leave.Mia thought of Hazel’s words, so she quickly blurted it out, “Selene will be so disappointed to know you rejected this offer.”“You don’t know anything about Se
Hazel took the seat far from Nady and Max when her dad stood up. “I have an important conversation with Mr. Anderson; you guys should start without us.”Hazel didn’t pay attention to his words and dug in at once before Nady said, “Why aren’t you happy about my pregnancy?”Hazel clenched her fist and didn’t answer, “Why do they think I have a problem with her pregnancy?” Hazel wondered, what reaction did she give out that made them think this way?“Of course she is happy,” Max butted in. “Hazel is a gentle soul and can’t be sad about such a thing; we should be ashamed announcing such news to her after what we did to her,” Max added.“What did we do to her?” Nady frowned at Max.“We betrayed her and her trust; don’t you feel any remorse for what you did to your sister?” Max asked in disbelief, and Nady concentrated her gaze on her meal; she felt she didn’t do anything wrong.All she did was fight for her happiness; it was just that her happiness was at the expense of Hazel’s.“Okay, eno
Hazel was busy on her phone while waiting for Coyle to freshen up when she heard a car drive in.Hazel walked to the entrance and was a little surprised to find Mia. “Hello,” Mia waved at Hazel.“So you really are married to Coyle Anderson?” Mia questioned in amazement; it was still hard for her to believe it.Mia scanned the place before approaching Hazel. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”“I am still wondering how you got past security to come here,” Hazel chuckled.“Well, I have my ways. Anyways, we have more important matters to talk about, like how I can get my man.“I came up with a plan for tonight, but we can’t discuss it because I am heading out with Coyle, so how about tomorrow morning?” Hazel asked, but Mia shook her head in denial.The wedding was in a few hours, and she had no time to waste. “Why can’t you tell me the plan right now?”“Because it’s long and complex, and I have no time…”“Baby,” Coyle called as he walked downstairs; he heard some voices from the door.“I w
Hazel still had a questioning look before she approached Selene. “I am sorry about your situation, but don’t you think you should have rushed to the station or maybe the hospital first?” Hazel questioned, and Selene’s brows furrowed.She crouched and held her son. “My son was scared; will the police calm him?” Selene fired back, and Hazel rolled her eyes.“I don’t see your son crying or shivering; maybe he just isn't a good actor like you yet…” Hazel scolded before Coyle chimed in.“Stop,” he frowned at Hazel and Selene, who were about to get into a heated argument.“Hazel, it’s my problem, and I will take care of it. How about you go back inside?” Coyle asked, and Hazel clenched her fist. It his problem? Unbelievable.“Of course,” Hazel chuckled and walked back inside; she got dressed and picked her purse before coming downstairs.She found Selene walking out of the kitchen with a glass of water, which she handed to Sven. Hazel’s nails dug into her palms when Selene winked at her.“S
It was Sunday at 5am when Hazel went downstairs and busied herself trying to craft out some advertising methods they could use to promote their still-to-be-launched restaurant.She sipped her coffee and tried to focus, but damn, “Stop thinking about unnecessary things and focus,” Hazel scolded herself.“What are you doing?” Coyle asked from the stairs; he approached her and sat on the couch next to her… on the table where scattered documents about restaurant locations, and she was busy with her laptop.“Trying to work,” Hazel replied, and he chuckled. He had stopped her from working because he didn’t want his woman to stress her little body, but here she was.“It’s Sunday,” he reminded her. He doesn't go to work on a Sunday, so he could spend time with her, so why was she working?“And?” Hazel asked, her gaze still glued to her laptop.“Can we do something else?”Her gaze finally shifted from her laptop screen to him. “Well, Mr. Anderson, I am busy.”Coyle pouted; he was never busy fo
The limousine parked before one of the most expensive party halls in the country. The driver pulled the door open, and Coyle stepped down before he helped Hazel walk down, intentionally pulling her into his arms despite the paparazzi and guests who were present at the front.“What are you doing?” Hazel muttered; she realised there were a lot of gazes on them, and Coyle was making it worst by holding her so tight.“I just can’t wait to have you all to myself once we get back,” Coyle whispered, and her cheeks turned all red.Hazel took a step backwards with his hand still wrapped around her waist; they walked past the paparazzi, who kept asking hurtful questions about why he had chosen to finally reveal his identity to the public.Also asking about his son and Selene, wondering if his son will be the heir.They finally got into the hall, and Hazel couldn’t help but admit that those questions did affect her a little bit.“Baby” Coyle clenched her hand and smiled at her; she smiled back b
Hazel sipped her coffee as she continued discussing with Tasha about their restaurant location.“I think this one is a little far from the town; let’s take this one instead,” Tasha suggested, but Hazel wasn't giving in.She was in deep thought when Tasha waved her hand. “We have been at this for hours; let’s just think about it over again. I will be in town in three days,, so we could talk more.” Tasha explained,, and Hazel nodded; she just felt very low and wasn’t paying much attention.“Okay, now that we are done with business. Tell me about that little snake called Selene.”Hazel rolled her eyes. “Let’s not talk about her; her name alone is enough to ruin my day.” Hazel muttered,, and Tasha chuckled.“You are so strong, love. I am never staying with a man who cheated on me…”Hazel frowned at Tasha. “Coyle didn’t cheat,,” Hazel spouted. The only thing he did was hide the truth from her that he had a son; apart from that, there was nothing she considered cheating.“You are so inno
Mia hurried and got into the elevator, which was about to close. She turned to Jude with a frown. “Am I some epidemic? How could you avoid me this much?” She asked, and Jude sighed heavily.“You even asked the receptionist to lie to me, why?”“Isn't it obvious, Miss Johnson? I don’t want to talk or see you,” Jude answered, and Mia nodded; she understood that perfectly.“Maybe you are avoiding me because you know I will tell you the truth, the truth you know so well but you are scared to admit.” Mia blurted, and Jude’s brows furrowed. What truth?“The truth is that you are making a wrong decision by choosing to marry that woman; you know so well that she doesn't love you.”Jude chuckled and just prayed the fucking elevator would stop soon.“You know she only likes that you love and provide for her; don’t you see that?” Mia asked before she held his hand when he quickly pulled it away.“I see you are sad, Jude, so why do you feel obligated to marry someone who makes you sad?” Mia knew s
