"I'm sorry, Hazel. I didn't want to do this but Stephanie promised me something that would help my mom and brother. You know how much I love them. You won't see me again because I used the money and resources that Stephanie gave me to go overseas and she doesn't know this. She only told me to watch on you and look for any possible ways to wreck your relationship with Caleb and after she gave me her promise, we would part ways." "I cannot stay in there anymore. I don't have the audacity to look straight at you again after what I did. But at least, I told you, right? If you wish to clear your name and use this message, it's fine with me. Tell Caleb that I was the one who did it with Stephanie's supervision. You only wrote the article and couldn't publish it and I used that to execute Stephanie's plan. Even if Stephanie finds out that I told you, she couldn't do anything anymore because I made sure that none of you will see me again." "This

"What are you doing here?" His cold, emotionless, and menacing voice and look made me flinch. At that moment, all the thoughts that I have in my head since this morning vanished and I couldn't find my voice. I just stood there, frozen while the two of them were looking at me. Though Stephanie's look was different from Caleb's stiff one, she was looking at me while a smirk was playing on her lips. I badly wanted to wipe that smirk away, but I couldn't find even the slightest energy to move even a single muscle in my body. I was completely immobilized in front of them, shocked at what I have just seen. There was a nagging feeling in my chest that I chose not to mind at the moment because I knew that if I did, I would look pitifully here. And I couldn't let that happen in front of Stephanie, not now that she has the upper hand. After a while of silence, Stephanie crossed her arms on her chest and asked me boastfully what was I doing here. "Do

I was left in silence after that, my mind slowly processed what he just said. He needed to take any action, he wouldn't let this one go. "D-does that mean..." Before I could even complete my sentence, the door of his office opened again and when I glance in its direction, Mirna was standing there with four policemen by her side. She looked at Caleb first and then at me, her eyes lost all their emotion when they met mine. "Officer, please, take her." The men with her didn't need to be told twice, they immediately walked in my direction to hold me. I looked at Caleb, hoping he would help me but he just stood there, without doing anything, watching these men pull me out of his office. "Caleb, please, listen, I didn't do it!" I pleaded as I tried to break free from their grip. "Please, just listen. Let me explain!" But my pleads were heard by deaf ears. He didn't do anything and just watch, even when tears started to fall

Caleb Craige's "What the hell?" I blurted. "How did that happen? Weren't you supposed to hold her?" "Sorry, Sir. We weren't expecting that she would do that." "But you're strong! How the hell was she able to make you fall on your knees?" "The blow that she gave us was strong and we weren't expecting it as well. I think she knows something about martial arts or it could be that she was in a self-defense class before." Damn right. It was written in her resume that she joined a self-defense class when she was still in high school. A heavy sigh escaped my throat as I dismissed them. I, then, fell on my swivel chair and swiveled it to face the sky through the huge glass window. The sky was dark and it would probably rain. Hazel escaped when they were in the parking lot and they failed to catch her again. She was smart to know that something was wrong, those men who captured her weren't police. They were in Henry's team. I wanted to file a lawsuit against her but for some

Hazel Quin's "Are you okay now?" I nodded and tightened my grip on the mug where the tea she prepared for me was. The heater of her condo was on, though it wasn't winter yet. And I knew it was because of me. "Thank you," I mumbled. Athena stayed silent while looking at me. She found me under the pouring rain, shivering in the middle of the sidewalks. I didn't want to go with her honestly, but there was something in me earlier that chose to go with her for some unknown reason. Caleb was her best friend and I knew that she could bring me back to him and to the police once I come to her, but she didn't and instead, brought me to her condo. I was thankful for that, though I knew she has her personal reason why. Seeing the questioning look in her eyes, I knew she wanted to ask me, so, I nodded and urged her to do so. "Go on, ask me." She didn't seem surprised at all, actually, I couldn't name the emotion on her face. And I knew from there that although she showed kindness t

Caleb Craige's I didn't mind if I was already driving beyond the speed limit nor if I would get a ticket for violating the speed limit rule. The only thing that was on my mind at this time was; I needed to reach Athena's condo fast. She was staying at one of the condos under Craige Hotel and Condominium, so, it wouldn't be hard for me to find her. We were just in one building after all. My mind was racing with thoughts as I made my car almost fly with my driving speed, I did overtake several cars and I could hear them honking whenever I passed at them, but the fuck with them, I needed to get to my woman fast. What was she doing there in the first place? How did she end up in Athena's place? There was only one way that I would get an answer. Driving even faster, I reached my building in no time and recklessly parked my car on my designated spot, and then jogged through the VIP elevator. Athena's condo was on one of the top floors of the building, it meant that she was one of th

Hazel Quin's I was frozen from where I was, unable to move even a single muscle. The leather handcuffs were just a bonus for suppressing me to move, his eyes alone could immobilize me for years. We were in that position for I don't know how long, until he spoke in his husky voice, sending tingles and shivers down my spine. And what he said was unexpected for me. "Now that you found out what I am hiding for years now, would you still be able to bear to be with me in bed? Especially in what I have in my mind right now?" That's when I realized again in what position we were. He was hovering over me while I was fully naked, with my arms and feet locked with the leather handcuffs. I wasn't able to answer right away with his questions. Everything that happened in the last two days came back to my mind then and I was in mess again. But Caleb took my silence negatively and thought that I wouldn't want to be with him in bed anymore after I found out what he did with his mother years

"You investigated and found this all in a short span of time?" I asked, shocked upon seeing the results of his short investigation. He crossed his arms, "That's what money does, Hazel. Now that I see that most of what you said to Athena matched them, my question is why?" "Why would Geraldine team up with Stephanie? She's your friend." At the mention of Geraldine's name and the word 'friend', all my suspicions since she started becoming agitated around me and her text message before I completely lost contact with her came back to me. Knowing the reason why, I just sighed. "Money," I mumbled. "Stephanie promised her money and threatened her. She used Geraldine's biggest weakness, her mother and brother." "She's wicked, isn't she?" he asked back, pertaining to Stephanie. I nodded, "First, she used my mother. And now, Geraldine. She's using the people close to my heart against me." "And that's one of the reasons why I hid mom and about us all these years. My competitors will

Caleb Craige's "So, you are not going to sue her?" Athena asked. Mirna and Len were present in my office in the penthouse, my lawyer was here as well for my consultation about the clause of the Non-Disclosure Agreement that Hazel broke. Atty. Lopez confirmed that we could file a lawsuit against her. She clearly broke the clauses of the agreement, and if ever I file a lawsuit against her, she would pay huge. And I knew she wouldn't afford it. I took a deep breath and shook my head, "No. I only seek Attorney's advice for future references or if ever I wouldn't be handle this situation anymore." "But I thought you are going to teach her some lesson." Mirna interrupted. "What happened now?" Ah, Mirna. She really wanted me to take any action for what Hazel did, but I knew she didn't mean it. It was just that, Mirna was so keen on getting rid of her not because she was an evil antagonist, but because she didn't like the idea of Hazel coming into my life ever since. But then,

TCST 1: Secrets Beyond FINAL CHAPTER
Growing up, I always dreamed of having my own family and making sure that it would be a happy one, unlike what I had when I was a kid when my mother always spit hurtful words toward me as if I was the worst person she'd ever met and the worst person who came in her life. I was blamed for a sin I didn't commit, I was blamed for a mistake I didn't do. I always wish on the stars before that if I could only bring back time, I would reverse what happened. I wouldn't let my rapist father rape my mom so that both of us wouldn't be hurt like this. She wouldn't suffer and the same goes for me. But I was thankful that the start didn't grant my wish because if they didn't, I wouldn't happily watch my family having the time of their lives. "Mom, hurry! Daddy misses you again! And my tummy is grumbling, I want sandwicheeesss!" I couldn't help but to chuckle upon hearing that. When I reached the carpet where they were, I pinched his chubby cheeks, earning a giggle from him. "Here you go, my

Hazel Quin's "I now pronounce you, husband and wife." The venue was filled with applause as soon as the priest announced that Caleb and I were now married. I didn't know that getting married would be this overwhelming. The support from the people around was adding to the happiness I was feeling and I knew Caleb felt the same, especially now that the first important woman in her life attended the ceremony. Yes, Callista was here. A month before the wedding date, I visited Callista without telling Caleb. Of course, I was with Len and Athena on that day just in case something unexpected would happen. She wasn't expecting for my visit, she was shocked to see me unexpectedly. "What are you doing here?" It was her greeting when she finally recovered from her shock. And not wasting any time, I told her about my intent. She wasn't expecting it when I gave her the wedding invitation for priority guests. That day, I also tried my best to convince her to discuss about our setup o

Caleb Craige's "Is everything ready?" The staff is in charge of the dinner date I set up nodded with a smile. "Yes, sir. The dinner table, the lights, and the song that will play later." I nodded, "Okay. That's good." I handed him a generous tip which made him glad and I knew it made him more determined to do his work efficiently. After all, people just wanted their work and efforts to be paid fairly and appreciated, then they will do more. Fishing my phone out from the breast pocket of my suit, I dialed Athena's number to inform her that she could go and ask Hazel for a dinner now. I was glad when she told me she was already in my penthouse and convincing Hazel to go with her and the latter told her he'll ask first if I would let her. The thought of Hazel considering my decision first before deciding was boosting my pride and the chances of success for what I was planning to do tonight. It didn't take long before my phone vibrated and a text from Hazel came. Of course,

It didn't take a week before I was discharged from the hospital. But prior to that, I was advised to take a bed rest because of my delicate pregnancy. Due to the stress I've experienced during the trials, there could be a possibility that the next time I bleed, we would lose the baby. Of course, none of us wanted that to happen so we followed the doctor's advice. Caleb became more caring than before and took an out-of-office work. Instead of going to the office every day, he did all his work at home, either in our room or in his library. His meetings as well were held virtually unless his presence was mandatorily needed. He never let me get out of his sight, he was eager to take care of me. Even the foods I was eating and my bath, he took care of them all. And who am I to complain if that was the case? My heart was overflowing with joy and I felt the love I never felt before. He was too caring and too good to be true. Now, I realized Athena's words before; Caleb would do anythin

Caleb Craige's I didn't care anymore if my action of pushing Stephanie too much would backfire on me. The only thing on my mind then was to protect Hazel. "How dare you touch her!" I glowered. She shuddered upon seeing my angry state. My face was red in anger and it was no doubt that I could attack her anytime as if she was a little prey and I was the predator, but the guards held me. I was trying to control myself but couldn't, her image pulling Hazel's hair was still playing on my mind. The guards were having a hard time suppressing my moves to pounce on her when I heard Hazel's cry. "Ah!" All the blood drained on my face upon seeing blood dripping down her thighs when I turned to look at her. She was wearing a dress and with its light color, it wasn't hard to see the crimson color of the blood as she put her hands on her stomach. I was frozen on my spot and was unable to move for a while, until Athena, who came with us, shook me back to reality. "Come on, Hazel is ble

And the busy days making everything better started. The first, second, and third court trials for the cases filed against Stephanie have been done and everyone could now see what would be the outcome of the trials. We have the upper hand. Stephanie was infuriated upon seeing me again with Caleb. Her fury that her plans failed was evident, it helped the court consider the decision earlier than thought. Her temper was a disadvantage for them, she was caught one time when she tried to hurt me. Good thing the guards and Caleb were fast enough to handle her. "You bitch! Do you think I would let you go just like that?" "You took everything away from me. You don't deserve to be happy, you are a dream wrecker!" During our second trial, Stephanie's lawyer used the mentally-ill card to defend her. It showed that Stephanie might be experiencing mental illnesses, she was thinking that the world was against her and it was because of me. She was obsessed with the thought that everything tha

Attorney Lopez was in his mid-fifties but still looked young and masculine. It was no doubt that he had made several women cry in his youth. Len and I invited him into the living room after introducing myself to him. He already knew me because according to him, Caleb always mentioned my name whenever they were talking regarding the cases filed against Stephanie. "He was always saying that we have to win this so that everything would be fine again and he could focus on working on your relationship." A small smile made its way to my lips upon hearing that. He may look mad at me before but he was still thinking of fixing our relationship despite breaking his heart and his trust. Indeed, he was a good man. It was something I failed to realize before. Caleb wouldn't let me down. Instead, he would lift me up but not to the point that I would depend on him. That's just how he was, he was caring and loving in his own way. "Well, I actually don't know what to say about that. I didn't

Hazel Quin's Caleb's tired body collapsed on the bed the moment we came home. It didn't take him long to fall asleep, he didn't even bother to change. Sighing, I moved and started undressing him and changing his clothes with a pair of sweatpants and a white t-shirt so that he would be comfortable as he sleep. He was slightly moaning as I changed his clothes but was unconsciously moving along with my commands, making my task easier. It wasn't surprising that he would be this tired. I knew what he has been doing since he arrived in New York. He was working almost all of the time while taking care of me and slowly putting everything back in to place. It may not look like I knew it because I was always asleep due to pregnancy hormones, but whenever I was awake, I could see the dark circles and his eyes. And whenever I would wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, I would see him working and focused on his laptop. His workload was too much now that Mirna wasn't helping him any

Caleb Craige's "Just take these vitamins that I prescribed, avoid stress, staying up late, and don't tire yourself. Okay?" Hazel nodded as the ob gyne put her hands on the pocket of her gown after reminding us what we should do. This was Hazel's last day in the hospital and tomorrow, we'll be back in New York after she takes enough rest back in the hotel. Athena won't be coming back with us, she was now with her lover who just came here this morning to fetch her. Looks like they would spend some more time here before coming back to reality. I looked at Hazel who was still talking and asking Dra. Wrington, who until now still thought that Hazel and I were already married. None of us corrected her, I like how she addressed Hazel as Mrs. Craige. "If everything is okay now, I'll take my leave. Have a safe trip back to Australia." I nodded and thanked the ob before sitting beside my woman who was now getting ready to be discharged. The bills have been settled, we could go out any
