As Hazel stepped out of the house, the sparkling sun welcomed her with it's stinging rays, it's light shining in her eyes, causing the golden in them to twinkle.
She deeply inhaled the fresh air, knowing that's what she has been craving for past two days.
A hand on her back had her continuing her path to the porch before she stopped infront of the car. As she stepped forward to open the door, Chris beat her to it and pulled it for her.
She looked up at him with disbelief in her eyes, surprised at his chivalry.
"Don't look this shocked, munchkin." Chris chuckled, "I'm just practicing for my future wife." He ended his tease with a wink.
Huffing, she sat down as Chris then closed the door, rounded to his side, opened the door to his side and sat down followed by him starting the engine and car roaring to it's life.
As per Theodore's instructions, they were now headed to the headquarters, much to Hazel's excitement.
She
All her senses went flying out, heat rushing to her cheeks. Her back was facing him, though front view was no better.Chris was standing infront of her with smugness written all over his face, his eyes playful, lips holding a smirk."Yes, Hazel. Tell him. What were saying earlier?" Chris took teasing steps towards her, her pleading eyes evoking no ounce of mercy inside him."Stop right there." Theodore sudden order caused Chris to pause in his tracks, a frown merring his features."Take those steps back." Theodore demanded with arms crossed over his chest, his back leaned against the doorframe of his office.Confused, Chris did as he asked, Hazel also watching the scene with furrowed brows.As Chris recovered back to his initial place, Theodore nodded in approval."Now turn around and go where you are needed which I assure you, is definitely not here."Chris was dumbfounded at his words."I just wasted half of my d
"Isa."Isabel couldn't help but feel a sensual shiver running down her spine, hearing her name in Chris's voice.The way he would pronounce her name would erupt blend of sensations in her. The science was out of her range, she couldn't understand.Theodore Sir would call her by same pet name. But, to the depth Chris could go, while pronouncing the syllables was beyond her understanding."Sir," She greeted, her voice soft and polite."How is Hazel doing?"Chris could imagine the havoc Hazel would create when she would find out he has used her name as an excuse to talk with Isabel.Not that he cared. He was Isabel's boss. With or without excuse, he held all the rights to call her, physically or on the phone, during her working hours.Isabel turned around to look at Hazel who was heading towards restroom."Fine, sir. She is getting along with others very well.""That's a relief."Isabel just hummed. But
Squinting her eyes in pain, Hazel tried to open her eyes, but the unwelcoming bright light wasn't allowing her.Her first instinct was to move her hands and brings them to her face but on finding her arms cuffed, a wave of fear washed over her.And that's when it hit her.Everything came rushing to her mind with speed of light, causing her heart to drop, it's mild beats in sync with the thundering, drumming ones.The anastasia was still in her system that was disallowing her to wiggle her weak bones.Opening her swollen eyes, she first looked up to see the source of lightning.A dim bulb.It was hanging from the ceiling, right above her head. The rest area around her was an abyss of darkness, causing fear to erupt inside her.She discovered, she was tightly bounded to a wooden chair, rough ropes were digging in her skin, making her wince in pain.She was confused.What had happened?After pressuring her min
"We have located them, Theo."Chris spoke swiftly as he walked inside Theodore's office. His feet stilled on the spot on finding the whole office a destructive mess.It seemed as if a havoc had taken the whole room in it's embrace.Chris eyes from the ground moved towards the corner.Theodore was standing there, infront of the massive window frame , with cigar in his hand, calmly inhaling and exhaling, the tainted air getting released on the glass of window, creating haze.On hearing Chris's words, Theodore turned around causing Chris to swallow a sharp breath inside."Call out the Swat team. We are raiding them, this instant."The negative energy radiating of mahogany eyes of Theodore weren't a good sigh, even Chris was aware. But, he knew it was better to leave Theodore on his own right now.One who will try to calm the steam of his ange
"Sweetheart." His hot whisper near her ear had her body shivering with sensations.The gentle caressing of her hair had her sleepy eyes finally opening. On feeling warm fingers brushing through her locks, she turned around in confusion.A lazy smile stretched across her lips, finding Theodore there, watching her with warm eyes."Hi," She whispered, her voice throaty with sleep.He chuckled, leaning down and pressing a kiss on her forehead."Hello, sleepyhead. Had a good nap?"On seeing her nodding her head lazily, he gave a nod of approval."That's great. Now get up. We have a busy day ahead." Retreating away from her, he stood up and put his hands inside his pockets, looking down at her with same intense eyes that had always triumph in making her feel warm."Huh? What do you mean? And why aren't you on duty?" Her voice filled with confusi
True to his words, he made her day turned into a bliss.At mall, he bought, on which ever item her eyes would halt for even a millisecond. He remained attentive to her likes and dislikes and only took her to outlets he knew, she was interested in."It's enough, Theo." At last, she had to whine. She also looked back at their guards who also had helpless look on their faces, their hands carrying number of bags of different brands."Shh. We are just starting. What's that pout for?" He hushed her like every other time, she had tried to intervene."But we are tired." She complained."We?" He raised his brows, looking back at her."Yes me and the guards." Hazel shrugged. Theodore turned to gaze at them."Are you guys tired?" From his tone, he sounded complete harmless. But the warning he was firing with his eyes caused the guards to jump up in attention."N-No, sir." One of them dared t
When she woke up, she realized she was in her bed, surrounded by comfort of her warm and soft comforter. Confused, she sat up and looked around. The sun was up, meaning she had been sleeping from quite some time.How did she end up here?She tried to recall. Few bits and pieces rushed to her mind. She remembered laying her head on Theodore's chest. She remembered him confessing his love to her.A lazy smile stretched across her lips, her cheeks blooming slightly. But then her mind recalled the warning he had drilled in between his Confession."I will love you and adore you but my love will never come in handy when you will be standing in my court as a culprit."Her body shivered slightly, making her huff. She didn't want her day to start with her worrying over her anxieties and problems. So, she brushed her thoughts off and jumped off the bed.But as soon as her f
After that little heated moment of their and Theodore staking his claim over her, there was mostly silence in the office. Hazel vaguely and timidly answering to him every time he would adress her.She, herself, had turned mute and quiet. Theodore had her placed on his head chair while he was leaned against the wall aside, with sleeves of his shirt rolled up, eyes on phone in his hand, one foot of his styled on the wall behind. Hazel couldn't help but admire the sight. He looked attractive beyond measures."Emily is saying she wants me to drop you over this evening. Were you aware?" He asked, lifting his gaze up and capturing her anxious ones.They had been anxious from the time he had used his hard tone on her, earlier. But, this time, he didn't took the initiative of easing her up. There were few restrictions and limitations he would never tolerate, under any circumstances. The earlier she knew that, the better."Hazel." His voice dropped to low, s
