Hazel:

I turned to see Aaron staring at me, an unreadable expression on his face. He came forward and the maids immediately stood up the moment they saw him. These maids!

How could they do this to me?

I lowered my eye, embarrassed at how ruffled I look.

"Boss, we didn't know you'd be back so soon"Jessi said after giving a little bow.

"The trip has been postponed" Carlos immediately responded and then dismissed the maids.

He turned to me and smiled, "ma'am, I hope you had a great night, you look really good today" He teased and that earned him a glare from Aaron.

He quickly bowed and went upstairs. Now that I was left alone with Aaron, it was time to express my anger and ask him some of the questions on my mind.

"You didn't think you should inform me before embarking on a trip for a whole month?"

He pulled out one of the chairs and sat beside me. He took a quick glance at the food and then returned his gaze back to me.

"You look like you just fought with a tiger"

I rolled my eyes at hi

    Hazel:The boardroom was silent, the air was filled with anticipation, they were waiting for the next big announcement Aaron had to make. My heart was beating steadily in my chest, I wasn't anxious or scared, I was enjoying this moment. I have been enjoying this from the beginning and I know that the next announcement Aaron would make would also excite me. He was all out for revenge. I didn't even know he would do this much. But why is he doing it? I was just his contracted wife and he is doing all of this for me?"Starting from this moment, Mrs Hazel Gray Carter will be your new General manager" He announced.What? The General manager?I am being appointed to overlook the affairs of the company. I couldn't believe my ears.Murmurs shot across every corner of the room but there was a few scattered claps here and there.I smiled victoriously, almost shedding tears.

    Hazel: I suddenly fell to the floor unable to breath. "Hazel" Aaron called, his voice sharp. "Hazel, Hazel hey listen to me" He shouted as he bent over and jolted me. He was confused but he still tried to maintain his composure as he tried to keep me awake but I could barely hear or see him. Although it was dark and I couldn't see clearly but for the first time, I saw a tiny bit of fear in his eyes but it disappeared quickly and the confused expression took over. I clutched onto my chest tightly and beat it gently at intervals thinking that would stable my breathing but it didn't. My eyes became dim and just as I closed it, I felt something on my lips. It felt like another lips. Did Aaron just kiss me? He pressed both sides of my cheek gentle forcing my mouth open as he forced Air into it. It was some kind of CPR and he did it until my breathing became stable and at that moment the light came on and the door opened. "Sir....." Carlos started but he cut him off immediatel

    Hazel: My hands trembled slightly as I carried the tray and headed straight to the second floor. For three days now, Aaron hasn't spoken to me, and I haven't seen him eat anything. I took the last step and stopped to take a deep breath. The passageway was dark and quiet but thankfully, I was able to see a tint of light coming from one of the rooms. Aaron must be in there. As I walked towards that room at the end of the passage way, I looked around and observed. So eerie. Except the sound of my slippers, I could not hear a single thing. It looked like a place that harboured ghost. No wonder he gave instructions not to go up there. This part of the house was different and more scary than the rest. "You can go back now Hazel. It's not too late to turn around and go back" I muttered to myself. I remembered the warning he gave to me about ever stepping my foot in this floor but he refused to tell me why and still stayed up there all the time. I got to the front of the room I assumed

You said you wanted to redecorate the house and prepare breakfast" I glanced at the wall clock and frowned. I woke up really late today. Jessi asked to leave and I stopped her. How is Aaron? Has he eaten anything today?No!I am not going to ask her about him. I mean nothing to him so why should I be worried?"Don't worry Jessi. You can leave "I got out of bed and fixed myself up then I headed downstairs to prepare breakfast for myself. That jerk humiliated me and made me cry yesterday, I am never going to forgive him. I got to the kitchen and I met Carlos, he had a tray in his hands and he dropped it the moment he sighted me.

    Hazel's pov:I stood in front of the mirror as i admired my beautiful wedding dress that had thousands of tiny pearls designed on it. It was hand made from ZIMA fashion house, one of the top fashion companies in the country and also where I work as a designer. It took about a month and lots of hardwork and money to make this perfect dress. Beaming with so much excitement as I could remember how my mum always told me how I would look like a goddess in my wedding dress. Well.. she was right, I did look like a goddess, except that she wouldn't be here to witness me walk down the aisle with the love of my life. She passed away years ago and I am stuck with my dad who pays more attention to my step mom and her daughter.I am Hazel Carter, the 25 year old daughter of Bennett Carter. The owner of 'Bennets Bakery'. I would not call us rich but least we lived in our own house and I attended one of the best universities.

    Hazel's pov: Beep. Beep. Beep I heard the beeping sound of the monitor and my nose was instantly filled with the smell of antiseptic. I forced my eyelids open and tried to adjust to the very bright light that shines directly on my face. Where am I? "Miss Carter, " I moved my head a little to see a young looking man in a long white coat staring directly at me "How are you?" He asked placing his index finger on one side of my neck.I didn't respond. Although it was hard but I still managed to move my head to look around my surroundings. A hospital ward. I tried to recall how I got here and my eyes met with the other people in the room. My dad stood at the edge of the bed along with Ivy and her mum who had this indifferent look on their faces.Although, I could picture worry and pity on my dad's face but there was also a look of disappointment and mild anger. What are they all doing here anyway? Are they here to mock and scold me again? "I_" I tried to say something but my thr

    Hazel:If this doesn't attract him I don't know what will. I took a deep breath waiting for him to do something but he didn't move, his gaze pierced into my skin. I took one step forward, closing the distance between us waiting for him to touch me and just as he lifted his hands, he put them behind his back. "Really... Hazel carter" He said, his voice sounding so low and thick as he finally managed to take his eyes off my body. I know I have a great body, my hourglass figure was to die for but this man standing in front of me didn't look fazed at all. "Are you trying to seduce me?" He gave a mischievous smirk. He scoffed and then turned around to leave"If we don't do this now, how do you expect me to get pregnant and give you an heir. You're doing it on purpose, aren't you? So that you can get twice the amount you gave to me""Well that isn't correct" He answered "what... am I not sexy enough for you? Don't tell me... you are not attracted to women" He turned around quickly,

He called "I haven't been the best father to you, all of this..is my fault"I guess he now feels truly sorry for everything he has done. He must have been thinking about it since I have refused to speak to him about anything going on in my life anymore."No it's not your fault"
