Author Pov Hazel stared at the file in her hand for the longest time before raising her eyes to the empty chair in front of her. After Cyrus gave her this file he got an important call and went out to answer it while she sat there and started reading the file. There was nothing much to read it was like he tried to make this divorce as easier as he could for her. But the thought of him freeing her shook her. She couldn’t believe it. Is he the same man who vowed to keep her caged with him till his last breath? What’s wrong with him? Why is he letting her be free all of a sudden? She still remembers the day he told her about his evil intentions and that he will marry her after the end of their contract marriage. Then why did he instead of announcing the marriage gave her this? She looked up hearing him closing the door as he stepped inside the office once again. He looked at her and then at the file in her hand. Gulping down he walked near her standing over her sitting figure. “You

She never thought she can ever have the worst sleep than the night she lost her parents but last night proved her wrong.She sat up on the bed letting her back rest against the bed’s headboard. She felt itchy on her palm and opening it she found his bracelet sitting securely over her hand. She stared at it for some time before turning her head and glancing at his spot.And as expected he didn’t come back last night as well.

Listen to "On rainy days by heize" to feel the chapter. Author Pov “Boss she’s here.” Cyrus looked through his glasses before nodding his head. Straightening his glasses he heard the commotion as his men dragged the old woman inside who kept on creating a ruckus. “Who the hell are you all? Let me g---” She shut up as soon as her eyes fell over Cyrus who was sitting on the chair staring at her coldly. She gulped watching the scary man giving her extremely cold looks. His men forced her to sit on the chair in front of Cyrus and stood beside her leaving no chance for her to try and escape the man. Cyrus slowly removed his spectacles and placed them on the table before glaring at the woman. “What was the deal woman?” He questioned in a low tone making her gulp down. “A week ago we made a deal right?” The old woman stayed quiet for some time but jumped in horror when Cyrus slapped the table leaning his body forward still shooting her cold looks. “ANSWER ME!” He growled scaring his m

Author PovCyrus stood in front of the mirror stared at his reflection as he brushed his hair to get ready for the office. Just when he was about to cover his forehead like he always does he paused.

Author PovHazel stared at the beautiful gown laying on her bed as she softly touched its material. Tomorrow is her engagement. Her mother made the preparations and everything seemed like a dream to her. She always wanted to marry like this.But why is she not happy? Sighing deeply she closed her eyes shaking her head. She shouldn’t be having such thoughts now. She said yes to this proposal with her consent she should be happy.Suddenly she felt something weird behind her and opening her eyes she turned her head to see behind her only for a surprised gasp to escape her lips. Her eyes widened as she swiftly turned around shaking her head in disbelief.“Missed me?” His familiar deep voice hugged her ears making her breathe out.“Cyrus.” She whispered staring at him in disbelief.She looked around the room finding the door of her room closed shut even, the window was closed then how?

Author Pov “You’re looking beautiful.” Analise complimented Hazel who was already in her gown with her hair tied up in a messy bun. She smiled weakly at Ana who frowned at her. “What happened?” Hazel shook her head. “Ana is something you want to tell me?” Hazel questioned as she noticed from the time Ana came here she looked quiet and tensed. “Nothing that will concern you.” She replied smiling but Hazel wasn’t buying it making Ana finally spill the beans. “It’s about the master.” Hazel’s eyes flickered when she mentioned Cyrus. “What about him?” She questioned making Ana surprised at how eager Hazel sounded. “Well, he has a flight tonight. He’s leaving.” Hazel frowned. Cyrus always travels to different countries and cities. What’s there to be tensed? “To never return.” This stopped her heart. She looked at Ana slightly shocked. “W-What do you mean?” Ana sighed. “Last night he dismissed me saying he’s going and might never come back. Creed said there is nothing for him to st
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.

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

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
