Author Pov"Marry me.”Hazel’s eyes widened as her blood ran cold hearing his words. She laid under him, stared into his eyes in pure shock. She rapidly moved her pupils to see any joke or mischievousness in his eyes but nothing. He looked utterly serious.“W-What?” She stammered in shock. Cyrus narrowed his eyes at her moving one palm over her cheek keeping his weight on his other arm.“You heard me.” He replied feeling no shame.“Are you crazy?” She spat out on his face unknowingly placing her palms over his bare chest and pushing his body away. Cyrus didn’t protest and pulled away from her.Hazel also jumped off the bed taking a few steps away from him keeping a good distance between them. Cyrus raised his head staring at her unapologetically.“I am already married!” She snarled staring at him in disbelief." So am I.” Her eyes expanded even more if possible after hearing his words.He’s married! And he has been cheating on his wife!“What!?” She asked stunned at the new discovery.
Author PovCyrus narrowed his eyes going through the file in front of him. The spectacles were dangling over the tip of his nose as he read every word with his full focus. He didn’t want to leave even the slightest detail.Soon his trance got interrupted by hearing the knock on the door of his office. He looked up watching Creed approaching him with his usual blank face. Cyrus leaned his back on the chair intertwining his fingers together and gazing at the man with curious eyes.“So.” He trailed making Creed sigh out.“Everything is ready as per your orders.” Cyrus nodded his head keeping his poker face on the bay.“I don’t understand. This plan. I just don’t get it, boss.” Cyrus looked up at him with a calm expression." What’s there to not understand?” Creed shook his head.“I thought you wanted her to stay with you. Then why?” Cyrus chuckled pulling the spectacles off his eyes and swinging his chair to the side facing the vast window of her office. The cloudy sky resembling his eye
Author PovFlashback“Boss Miss. Hazel escaped.” His man informed him making him let out a disappointed sigh. He leaned his back against the chair before crossing his legs.“Ask Creed to call me when he found her.” He ordered hanging up the phone.He shook his head taking a sip of his red wine. He chuckled at the foolishness of the girl. She knew she can’t escape him then why does she even try. Just after a few minutes, he heard the ring of his phone.“I found her,” Creed informed him making him nod his head.“Don’t catch her.” Creed glanced at the dustbin where she was hiding. He frowned at his order.“Let her be. Walk away like you didn’t know you saw her. I will give you the rest of the instructions later.” Creed obediently said yes and walked away from the place but not before glancing at the place she was hiding.It was unusual for the Ruthless man to let his captive go this easily. He sighed heavily motioning his guards to go back who also shot him confused looks. When they foun
Phase 2FaithfullyYoursAuthor Pov"Welcome back. Wife.”Hazel stumbled back in shock. Her eyes widened even more if it was possible. She shook her head watching the man she thought she would never see standing in front of her wearing his usual smirk.Soon her mind started functioning the words he used to address her. Wife! Why is he calling her wif---- Realization hit her like a truck when she again looked up at him with now a blurry gaze.“N-No way.” She mumbled taking another step back and shaking her head in disbelief.Cyrus sighed staring at her with blank eyes even though there was a storm bursting inside him. For the past month, it was hell for him to wait for her. Without her, he felt every second harder to survive.His nights felt longer than usual, his days were empty and full of loneliness. All he wanted was to run back to her and drag her back with him but he didn’t. He wanted her to walk back to him by herself.And today she did. Watching her beautiful face before his eye
Author PovHazel slowly peered her eyes open feeling the strong rays of light attacking her face. She blinked a few times to adjust her sight. As soon as the sight cleared before her eyes she came in contact with familiar surroundings.Slowly memories started engulfing her mind and she let her heart sigh out in utter sadness. How much she wished for this bitter reality to be just a bad dream! But Alas! It wasn’t. It wasn’t a nightmare. It was a bitter truth she didn’t want to acknowledge.She always thought that after she will meet her husband, she will have someone she could rely on. Maybe it was just a contractual marriage and after six months they will be separated but she still wanted to ask him, wanted to try this marriage for once.But now what? After realizing that her tormentor is her husband. She didn’t want to think about giving this marriage any chance. She just doesn’t want anything to do with him.She sighed out turning her head to the side only to flinch in horror. Cyrus
Author PovHazel played with her breakfast staring at the table. After his as usual forcing her to call his name he settled her on the seat extremely near him and filled her plate with food. She had no idea what was wrong with this man? Before he never cared about what she ate and how much she ate then why now?He made sure to over-fill her plate not leaving a single thing present on the table from placing it on her plate. But Hazel had no appetite. Her mind was a mess. She had no heart or any hunger in her stomach to fill. Her worries were enough to get rid of her appetite.She glanced at Cyrus who was busy shoving the food down his throat like a caveman. He always eats like a beast. No wonder why is he that big compared to her. She bit her inner cheek hesitating in asking him something.She again dropped her eyes on the table not knowing how to voice out and tell him what she was debating on for God knows how long? She was in her world oblivious of the eyes that once again got stuck
Author PovAs soon as the words left her lips she felt a sharp pain of regret hitting her chest. She knew she shouldn’t have said those words after all the man in front of her was not normal in any way. But she couldn’t hold herself back without showing him the hate, disgust, and loath she has in her heart for him.He needs to understand that her obeying him doesn’t mean that she has started accepting his disgusting ways. He might have his way with her as much as he wants but she will never forget the things he did to her. She will never accept him.Cyrus’s eyes darkened even more hearing her words. His grip over her arms tightened making her wince in pain but Hazel didn’t back away this time. She knew, either way, he was going to hurt her then let it be.“Your character, your face, your mere presence infuriates me! I hate everything about you. I hate that even after wanting to run far away from you I can’t do that.” Cyrus gritted his teeth breathing heavily. But Hazel didn’t stop the
Author PovHazel’s eyes flickered in fear when she took his whole frame in check. He looked so damn messed up. The buttons of his shirt were undone leaving only one button tied behind. The strands of his hair were falling over his bloodshot eyes.He licked his lip gulping down like he was clearing his throat to say something. A sharp strong smell of alcohol entered her nostrils. She scrunched up her nose in disgust. He knew she doesn’t like alcohol yet he always reeks of it.“Why is it still there?” A small frown appeared on her forehead hearing his question. He was staring at her.Hazel in confusion looked behind her to see what he was saying but nothing. What does he mean by that? She again looked back and gasped out leaning her head back a little finding his face extremely closer to her. She didn’t even notice him coming closer to her.Getting startled she rapidly leaned back and in doing so her hand that was on the bed got slipped because of silk sheets making her drop her back on
Cyrus PovI stared at my beautiful wife of mine laid beside me. Keeping my face on my palm with my elbow resting on the pillow I stared at her tired glowing face like it was the most fascinating view of the world and for me it indeed was.A small smile was playing over my lips as my eyes traveled to the crib beside our bed where my tiny baby girl was sleeping. Yes, we had a girl. The first day when she was born I panicked thinking that our baby wasn’t born normal as she was extremely tiny like she hardly reaches my elbow if I pick her up.And made the fool out of me jumping to grab the doctor’s throat thinking that something happened to my daughter. I chuckled shaking my head why am I such a fool in such matters? Hazel was hardly awake after delivery when she told me that her baby was supposed to be this tiny.Even she was laughing at me being on the verge of unconsciousness. Creed even questioned me if I really was once his boss. I had to stop the urge to slam his head against the wa
Cyrus Pov Cyrus Sylvester. The man people fear the most. The man who never knew what softness was. The man who was born to become a ruthless leader of his father’s gang. The mob boss who had made a history of being the youngest yet the most feared leader that not only the people of this country but overseas have fear of as well. But was I really that ruthless? Was I really born to become the monster? The answer even I don’t know. I wasn’t born like this. I still remember having stuffed toys and cars that I loved the most. I still remember the time I craved to hug my father even if it would be for only once. I begged in my sleep to be able to meet my mother someday. But that wasn’t in my fate. Because I still remember the time when that bitch snatched my stuffed toys, and destroyed my cars in front of my eyes to torture me. I still remember the time I was deprived of any affection from my father. And I can never forget that the woman who gave me birth didn’t even look back to see if
Author PovCyrus smiled kissing his wife’s forehead who was sleeping soundly on the couch. This woman and her pregnancy hormones. She falls asleep anywhere after she got pregnant. No matter if it’s a chair, sofa, or even wardrobe.Shaking his head he covered her with a blanket letting her sleep as much as she want. He bought donuts for her as she was whining from the morning for them. Seems like his child is going to be addicted to donuts like their mother is obsessed with cupcakes.Placing the donuts in the kitchen he decided to take a shower. Today he had a meeting with his people as he needed to inform them about his decision of stepping down from the Mafia’s position. After getting ready in his unusual suit he pinned the lion brooch on the collar of his coat.He styled his hair backward revealing his scar which indeed gave him a more dangerous look.

Author Pov Hazel strolled around the room sighing in sadness. Cyrus hasn’t been behaving like he used to for the past two days. Even though he was asking her now and then about her health and if she had eaten or not. But something about his gaze whenever he looks at her stomach saddens her. Why does he look like he wasn’t happy? Or there is something else that’s bothering him. Finally mustering her strength she decided to talk it out with him. He can’t just behave like he was fine with everything when his eyes tell another story. Taking a deep breath she walked to his office but to her surprise, he wasn’t there. Her eyes roamed around the house as she tried to find him and eventually she did. He was in the poolside sitting on the edge of the pool with his feet submerged in the water of the pool. She walked near him only to find him looking lost in his thoughts staring at the water in front of him. She slowly took a seat beside him letting her legs fall in the cold water. The water
Author Pov “Stop eating! And help me.” Hazel snapped at Ana who was busy munching the sandwich she stole from the caterer before he could take the food to the venue. Ana shot her an annoyed look with her cheeks puffed up. “Then you shouldn’t have overslept!” She bit back making Hazel glare at her. But she couldn’t tell her why she even overslept. After Cyrus proposed to her, she told her mother who was happy to see her daughter being overjoyed. She only had one condition and that was to let Hazel stay with her till the marriage as she wanted to marry her daughter off to Cyrus through her house. Cyrus was fine with whatever Hazel wanted to do. Even though he didn’t want her to leave his mansion but again putting a stone over his heart he thought that after a week she will return to him eventually so it was fine. But damn the man can’t stay away from her, last night he entered her room making her stunned but well it was just Cyrus’ thing that he had keys to her house. He said to he
Author Pov Hazel smiled staring at Cyrus's sleeping face. She never thought there will be a day she will wake up and instead of feeling upset after seeing him she would rather feel happy. Not only has he changed but she has changed as well. She leaned her face closer to his softly removing his hair from his forehead and revealing his scar. It wasn't like Cyrus doesn't get nightmares anymore but as compared to his past he rarely gets them. He has been visiting the psychiatrist and taking his medicines regularly as well. She noticed his forehead knitted and it was obvious he wasn't relaxed in his sleep instead he looked restless. She softly caressed his forehead with her fingers and slowly his frown got disappeared. She smiled but soon she froze when he opened his eyes. Their eyes met making him raise his eyebrows finding her face so close to his. His heart thumped slowly as a contented sigh escaped his lips after seeing the view in front of his eyes. This is what he was craving for
Author PovMature Content AheadHolding her waist he picked her up making her tighten her legs around his torso. She buried her face in his crook as he kissed her covered shoulder before walking towards their room. Reaching his vast bedroom he gently laid her down on the bed before moving back from her.Her breathing increased, even more, when he started unbuttoning his shirt before swiftly removing it from his body. She suddenly felt a wave of nervousness hitting her as all she ever felt from his touch used to be roughness. And the uncertainty in her gaze didn’t go unnoticed by Cyrus.Hovering over her half-naked he caressed her cheek while staring into her hazy gaze. Leaning down he kissed the side of her lips trailing his rough lips to her soft cheeks. She unconsciously closed her eyes at how softly he was touching her like she was made of glass and will break if he applied any more strength.His one arm wrapped around her tiny waist as he hugged her body closer to her before stari
Author Pov Two Months Later “Boss here is the information you asked for.” Cyrus grabbed the file from Creed opening it revealing further information about the guy that joined them a week ago. “Hmm I am letting him go through the training because of your continuous nagging but he still can’t join our gang till his graduation.” Creed nodded his head. “Yes, boss I know and he will be done with his graduation in the next two months.” Cyrus nodded his head and dismissed Creed. It’s been two months since Hazel gave a chance to their relationship. Cyrus has been extremely patient with her, it’s not like he doesn’t want her or feels any kind of sexual attraction towards her anymore. He does. But he has promised himself that without her consent he wouldn’t do anything. And even though she seems to not avoid his touch anymore he still doesn’t go any further till she would want to. Cyrus drove back to the mansion only to be stopped by the traffic single. A small knock over his car’s window
Author Pov“Boss don’t do like this.”“Shut the fuck up! Let me focus or instead of this frying pan the next thing I will burn is you.” Cyrus snapped at Creed who shut up pursuing his lips.Cyrus after waking up, from God knows where got the idea to make breakfast for Hazel. Man doesn’t even know how to start a stove in the first place. Even Creed never cooked before yet he was trying to help him but Cyrus told him in clear words that he will make breakfast by himself.“And why the hell are you dancing on my head? Aren’t your wife sick? Go to her!” Cyrus said before taking a new pan and placing it over the stove. Creed sighed.“I did try to stay with her but the moment she heard that you’re going to cook she pushed me to go to you and help you.” Cyrus glared at him and filled the pan with the batter making Creed curse.“Boss it’s burning again!”“Shit!” Cyrus cursed turning the stove off before Creed threw a glass of water on the pan.“What’s happening?” They both turned around swiftl
