Author Pov"So he told you everything?"Cyrus's calm voice scared her more than his angry ones. She stared at his covered back not knowing what to reply to him. Silence engulfed the room making her hear only their breathing and the loud sound of rain hitting the glass window."Then what are you waiting for?" Hazel frowned at his words." Laugh." He mumbled slowly turning around to face her."Laugh at me. Laugh at how this strong man here was nothing but a coward once. Laugh at how I am not really a narcissistic but an insecure man. Laugh at how I still get scared of those memories. Laugh Hazel. You should laugh at me I deserve your taunts, your mocking. Come on." Hazel sucked on her breath staring at him with stunned eyes.How can he think that someone can make fun of the things he had to go through? She can never say that he deserved that suffering. No one deserves such a thing. She stared at him still not saying anything. Cyrus chuckled shaking his head."Or you're pitying me. Hmm"
Author Pov Hazel entered the kitchen only to gasp out in horror. She covered her eyes turning around to not disturb the couple. Ana tried pushing Creed in embarrassment but he only rolled his eyes at the interruption. "I-I am sorry. I was just---" Hazel bit her inner cheek running out of the kitchen making Ana yell for her. "Hazel it's not like that." She again tried pushing his arm away from her waist but Creed only pulled her closer. Ana was busy making lunch for Hazel when out of nowhere Creed back hugged her startling her. She asked him what he was doing here and he answered with a simple sentence that he missed her. Analise took a lot of time in accepting Creed as she knew how dangerous and ruthless he can be when it's needed. But after spending her time with him she understood how of a good man he is. He never even for once invaded her privacy without her permission. He gave her the respect she always craved and after seeing his efforts and love for her she finally gave up.
Author Pov"I wanted to throw a party for you. A royal celebration but then I remembered." He paused turning his eyes towards her. Kissing her cheek he continued."My wife is really a simple person and she will definitely not like being a center of attention. That's why I decided to arrange this simple lunch for us." He said finally releasing her from his hug.Hazel just stared at the decoration with blank eyes. She did use to celebrate her birthday with her parents and after them with her aunt. But she was more surprised to see how much he knows about her. She indeed hates royal celebrations where too many people will give her attention. She always preferred a simple birthday.Her eyes flickered in surprise when she saw the dishes placed on the table. All of them were covered except for cake and a plate of cupcakes. It has several kinds of flavors.She looked up at him who carefully lighten the candle and smiled at her motioning her to cut the cake. She walked near the table only for
Author Pov"Can you forgive Camile and your father?"As soon as her words hit his ears his grip over her wrist loosened. Even Hazel felt him loosening his grip over her, she watched how his eyes turned from eager to shocked. He just stared at her with slightly wide eyes like he wasn't expecting her to say those words. Even Hazel was surprised herself. She was never a person to throw someone's bad memory on their face but right now he needed a reality check."No right?" She mumbled chuckling."Then how can you expect me to forgive you? Yes! My sufferings maybe aren't more than what you have faced in the past but it still can't change the fact that I still have suffered because of you." Finally, his hands left her completely as he dropped his arms beside him not removing his gaze from her face."If you can't forgive the people who tormented you, abused you, bad-mouthed you then how can I forgive the man who did the same to me? Funny how you're not even ready to forgive your uncle who ju
Author PovIt’s been two days since Cyrus didn’t come back to the mansion and it wasn’t like Hazel was affected by it. She knew whatever she said in the office that day must have hurt him but she still was standing on her words. Whatever she said she knew was the truth and she will never back off them.But in Cyrus’ absence, Hazel suspected something unusual in the garden of the mansion. Yesterday she saw someone in the garden and he was dressed up as a bodyguard but there was something about him that gave her not so good vibe.She had caught him many times glancing at her window and she wouldn’t lie it crept her out. She talked to Creed about it and he assured her saying that he’s a newly hired bodyguard and might be confused after seeing her as Cyrus hasn’t properly introduced her to the world as his wife yet.Only a few of his alliance and Aaron Parker know that she’s married to him. Otherwise, most people in his world don’t even have any idea of her existence. She knew Cyrus once
Author PovCyrus narrowed his eyes at the window thinking about his plan. In just a few more days there will be a disaster coming toward him and he was afraid. For the first time in his life after becoming a Mafia boss, he was scared of the future that seemed too obvious to him.But somewhere in him wasn’t ready to accept the bitter reality. He wanted to believe the opposite. Maybe just maybe what he wishes for would become a reality. Sighing deeply he turned around letting his eyes soften a little after seeing the box settled on the table.He grabbed it and made his way towards his room where he knew she will be for sure. He slowly opened the door finding her standing in front of the dressing table with a towel in her hand. Her emerald eyes snapped to his.

Author PovThey reached the mall and went inside it. Fred was tailing behind them keeping his gaze fixed on Hazel who was staring around the place with poker face. Soon Ana nudged Hazel pointing at the jewelry shop.“Let’s go there. I have noticed that I don’t really have much accessories.” Hazel smiled at her before shaking her head.“I want to look for shoes. You go there with the bodyguard. I will go and look for shoe shop.” Ana was hesitant as she looked at Fred who has his eyes away from them. He was good at pretending to mind his business.She nodded and went to the jewelry shop with Fred while two bodyguards followed Hazel to the shoe shop. Remaining two bodyguards stayed out looking around to see any unnecessary intruders.Hazel had many shoes but all of them had heels even though this time Cyrus did best to not place any heels there. But all of her shoes contains a little heel under them and she needed a shoe she could wear being at home. A comfortable one atleast.She was lo
Author Pov Standing in front of the covered window he kept on glaring at the rapid rain falling over the glass. He gritted his teeth remembering the pain he felt when she mercilessly crushed his hope. His heart kept on slamming against his chest in resentment, anger, and sadness. He had no idea what to do to get rid of the uneasiness he was feeling inside him. He wanted to break everything around him, he wanted to hurt her, and he wanted to set the whole world on fire to get rid of his burning pain. But he couldn’t get himself to do so anymore. Once the man who used to destroy, kill and burn the reason of his anger to ashes now the same man couldn’t get himself to even go near her. He wanted to hurt her but at the same time, he couldn’t. Every fiber of his body was holding him back from even thinking of going near her with the thought of hurting her. Clutching his phone in his hand his glare turned sharper when he remembered all the words he heard in the recorder. But can he blame
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
