They say life with a baby is the most troublesome event of life.
But for Hazel, it was opposite. From the time her daughter came into her life, time had been nothing but bliss for her.
What were days and nights for her? She stopped keeping track of it. All that matters was the nourishment of her little being.
Her Aria. Their Aria.
Theodore had named her that. More than her, Theodore was the one who had been on cloud nine from the time Aria came in his Life.
He started smiling more. Sass began to come naturally for him. His strictness was still there, but that part of his personality was reserved for the outer world now. When he would be in their room, he would be a very dedicated husband and a father, always putting his wife and daughter first.
Bond between Aria and Theodore was one thing, but the adoration and love Aria had been getting from Mona, Emily, Chris and Isabel could not be depicted in words.
Even barely a tiny
"Like hell you will."Edward's hovering body from her was roughly pulled away as Theodore slammed him against the wall, face first.Immediately warm arms engulfed Hazel's shivering body."Sh. Sh. Baby it's okay. You did good. Let me deal with the fucker now." He muttered gently rubbing his hands through her hair to calm her down.Edward's sudden groan had Theodore's body straightening in alarm. Barely suppressing his rage, he leaned his head to Hazel's eye level."Go to Aria, okay? I will join you in a minute." He said, referring to their two months old who was still bawling her eyes out upstairs. Hazel gave a shaky nod but suddenly, concern for Theo flash through her eyes. "B-But y-you-"Theodore smiled at her concern. "I will be fine, darling. Infact after today, I will be more than fine. I will be ecstatic." There was something dangerous in his aura. Something that had
"Aria shh." Hazel made a gesture for two years old to remain silent who gave a cheeky nod, brought her little hands up and covered her to mouth to keep her giggle in check.With Aria's other hand in Hazel's, both were in mission to sneak into the kitchen.Theodore was upstairs."Mama will get you one last chocolate, okay? Promise mama you will not tell dada about it?" Hazel forwarded her pinky finger in Aria's direction. Aria's eyes lit up at the mention of her favorite dessert. Without beating around the bush, Aria interwined her pinky finger with her mother's.Nodding at her daughter, Hazel left Aria's hand once inside the kitchen and then walked forward and opened the refrigerator before she began to look through the edibles."Hersheys. Bubbly. Ramtin.. That's it, baby. Choose from 'em." Hazel mumbled, while her head was still sneaked inside the refrigerator. While, waiting for Aria to make a choice, Hazel picked one Ramtin up, tore it open and
Hazel couldn't move. Her trembling body has gone paralyzed under his heated gaze.Her wide eyes started tearing, seeing the familiar face of man who ripped her apart year ago.Hands stuffed inside his pockets, he stepped inside her house making her cower back, her senses went on high alert.She tried to speak, but no word came out as if her throat had refused to adress the sinner infront.The fear she thought she had subdued with ruination of her innocence came rushing back on meeting the familiar charcoal eyes.His cold irises roamed over her shaky body, taking in the angelic features he had dearly missed. He was taking calm steps in her direction whilst she was cowering back with rushed movements.Her body flinched hard once her back met the cold wall. She tried to move away but shut her eyes in fear when he slammed his hands on her each side, trapping her. A whimper left her mouth feeling his hard body being presse
Leaned against the railing of his balcony, Edward brought the cigar up to his rough lips, inhaling long drag before releasing puffs of air in dark.His cold irises were glaring at the moon, as if accusing the nature for some tragedy. Continuous rage was boiling his nerves, his mind couldn't stop recalling the incident of today's morning.Edward entered the university in all his glory, greeting the professors on his way. Cladded in denim shirt with jeans, his silky hair were styled back to perfection.From corner of his eye, he could detect girl's ogling over him. Yet, he feigned ignorance of them and kept walking on his way.It certainly wasn't new for him. His breathtaking genes demanded attention even in severe crowd. However, his heart was already preoccupied by a lovely soul, he felt proud in calling his fiance. His Evelyn.
Cladded in navy blue dress that reached below her knee, Hazel's flawless skin was glowing under sunlight. Her light colored eyes were twinkling under light rays.Each soul around her felt parlayed undee her beauty, not being able to take their eyes off her.Hazel stifled a giggle, giving them polite smiles on her way which they almost immediately reciprocated, not wanting to look rude to miss lovely. She was referred as miss beauty of her department.Hazel's undefined beauty was one thing, but innocence leaking off her features was other.With slow and steady steps, she stepped out of university and began to walk on the pavement, feeling fresh air stroking her warm skin.The orphanage she had taken refuge in wasn't far from her institute, so she preferred walking most of the time.Being foreign exchange student, she was given facility of hostel, but she turned down t
Hazel's button nose scrunched hearing his indecent words. Now she was positive, there had to be some misunderstanding.She wasn't that kind of girl. The innocence leaking from her face wasn't just deceiving. It reflected her inner self."What are you saying, sir?" Her cracked voice beseeched, body working to free herself from tight chains.Chaining someone to wall was very cruel practice. She would always pass a glare to animal breeders while walking on her way, hating the helpless look of caged animals. Today, getting chained like those animal only increased her hatred for the notion."Oh, that won't work, darling. I suggest you stop now if you don't want any other marks in your beautiful body than mine."His dark words successfully sparked terror inside her."And are we gonna play innocent now?" He cocked a brow at her, calmly running his fingers through her expose
Hazel felt blood draining from her system. Evelyn's poisonous words damaged her deep inside.Her body felt numb, yet the pain in her heart was excruciating. Evelyn's betrayal had shred her insides. She get it Chloe and Evelyn didn't consider her as their friend.But that did not mean they both will go around spreading rumors and demeaning her character. Her heart beseeched with endless agony.Her internal trial was broke by loud noise that made her shruck back. Edward had thrown his phone against the wall."I'll fucking destroy you." He whispered with blood shot eyes, his jaw clenched hard, charcoal orbs blazing in fire.Fetching a key out his pocket, Edward began to roughly remove the chains from her bruised wrists, ignoring her cries of pain.Throwing the chains in the corner with one hand, Edward clasped his other hand around her forearm and roughly threw her on soft mattress."I hope you h
Her puffy eyes took their time in opening and confronting the bitter reality. As her senses kicked in, she could only feel the pain, vibrating in her whole body.Her hazy gaze met the cemented ceiling, confusion filled her mind, not realizing where she was.Just then, flashes of last night came rushing down at her, successfully numbing each cell of her body.She was ruined yesterday.What she tried to shield her whole life, it was snatched in a daze from her. Bringing her bruised hand upward, she rubbed two fingers on side of her head.Whimpering with each movement, she sat up in fetal position, resting the back of her head against the wall, feeling the world rotating each second.Her eyes watered, seeing visible bruises on her both wrists, testifying how she was cuffed like an animal last night.She lifted her hand to rub the swollen bruise on he
