EPISODE FIFTY SEVEN.HAZEL'S POV.TWO MONTHS LATER...."Where have you been? The class is starting soon."Lana, my roommate and coursemate yelled from the entrance of the class."I'm sorry, I woke up late."I groaned tiredly, wiping off the sweats on my head.I barely catch up to two hours of sleep which is indeed a bonus to me. Ever since Stefano left, I barely had a good sleep which is taking a toll on me.My baby is clocking six months and none of his family has heard from me ever since the night of our anniversary. I was just ashamed to face them, It was very hard to ignore Amanda calls at first but with time, I managed to live with the fact that I will never have anything to do with them anymore.I ruined their life, I exhumed the bad memories they've buried many years ago, it's all my fault, and it's all on me.I don't deserve to be with them."Are you okay?"Lana asked, collecting my bag from me, I mumbled appreciatively while we walked to the hall the class will be holding."I'm
EPISODE FIFTY EIGHT.LANA'S POV.The house was a hassle to locate, extremely big for just one person, and annoyingly hideous. "God. This is so frustrating."I said, finally pushing through the door open.He sent me the passcode the other day. I walked in levelly with the bag of groceries, breathing heavily.I'm so tired. Fucking stressed. Getting to the main door, I was about to twist the knob with my spare finger when the door opened and a manly figure almost collided into me."Hey. I'm so sorry."He grabbed my arms back and the bags fell from my hands immediately.God. He smells so good. I looked up at him just to see him staring at me with a smirk lingering on his lips."It's...fine..."I mumbled, trying not to get lost in his big brown eyes."I'm Lana....Uhmmm... The new cook."I introduced, flustered.He chuckled softly and nodded while he made space for me."You came late."He said, walking in deeper with the bags in his hands like they're nothing.He looks so strong. The big arms,
EPISODE FIFTY NINE."I told you to stop drinking, Amanda."The guy warns her in such a soft tone that makes me wonder if he's scolding her or complimenting her."I'm sorry, Luca. I promise not to do that again."She mumbles in a slightly drunk tone and feathered kisses all over his face again.He broke into a chuckle and smiled at her."I will make you a hangover drink.""I love you."The beautiful woman in his arms said in a pouted tone and let Marcus lead her to the table.The other one was already down to eating, without waiting for anyone."Hi, I'm Daniel."A white headed guy said beside me as I took my seat on the dinning."I'm Lana, the cook. Nice meeting you."I smiled softly."You cook so well, it's delicious. I must say."The cheeks heat up a bit at the compliment."Thank you.""You do this as a full job? I don't mind hiring you permanently for my wife and kids. They would definitely love that."He chuckled.Oh- he's married? Not that he was flirting with me but him talking about his
EPISODE SIXTY.HAZEL'S POV.It didn't take Meghan much time to drive to Stefano Mom's house. I grew more nervous as we both entered the room.I feel so guilty coming here knowing it holds many memories about me and Stefano. This is where I came to when I was newly married to him, I had my first meal as a married woman here, settled my first fight, made love and fought with him here. I miss Stefano so much that it hurts like crazy. It hurts like mad because I hate the fact that I did this to him.I dragged him into this marriage, I made him have sex with him which brought about this baby's growing day and day in my belly. It should have never been like this."Oh my God!"Stefano's Mom screamed the moment she saw me walk into the house. She dropped the cutleries in her hand and ran to me like a little child who's been waiting for the arrival of her father."I'm sorry."I sobbed, holding onto her tightly, my big belly stopping up from snuggling into each other more."I'm so sorry. I'm sorr
EPISODE ONEHAZEL"Mom, the dress is good enough, It's just a simple wedding"I protest, already tired of the tantrums."No, You must be in your best dress, You don't know who he is, His taste in women is unbearably high, I hope he's going to be impressed, I just hope"She rambled on and on.I plopped tiredly on the bed praying to the heavens to let this moment pass me by.An unexpected marriage. An unbearable mother who believed the first impression lasts longer. And an unwilling bride who is about to get married.Life is just so amusing.She dragged me up the bed lecturing me on how to be a good wife and a future 'mother' to my kids.We are going to Vietnam to start a new life.I'd quit my school because of the marriage. Everything was at my expense which I believed it's all shades of wrong."I promise to be in my best character, I promise, we can stop now!"I fired back at her in a firm tone.She stopped talking immediately.After fixing the sixth dress on me, She was finally satisfie
EPISODE TWO"You don't have to be so sad,What he said about your weight,He didn't actually mean it"The guy who seems closest to him apologized in his stead.I scoffed at the 'joke' he made.Who wouldn't feel bad when your partner is making jokes about your body already."What he said is right,He can't lift me,I don't think he can""What's your weight?"He asked in a more interesting manner.Okay. I think he's actually nice. Or maybe he's not nice but trying to gain my favor since I'm his boss' wife."I think around 85kg"I huffed."It's not that bad"He shrugged. He didn't seem to be disappointed by it which made me feel better."What's your name?"I asked, knowing well that he would know my name so there's no need to repeat it."I'm Luca, Stefano's friend and personal buddy""How's he?Generally?"I asked curiously. He's surprised that I'm actually asking him such a question but curiosity is eating me up."He's a bad person,Don't believe in him,You will be disappointed""Are you badmouthin
EPISODE THREEI almost choked on the undigested food in my throat the moment he dropped those words.It's so embarrassing."I'm sorry,I thought you were with your earphones""Even if I was,That doesn't mean you should belch so loudly like an uncouth person."He huffed in anger."I'm sorry,I should have been more disciplined"I apologized again.He plugged his earphones back and thankfully,Luca and the hotel attendant weren't with us which saved me from embarrassment.Luca came back with his food and sat beside me.He turned to me but noticed the sullen look."What happened?Are you not full yet?""N..No"I stuttered nervously."I'm okay""Are you sure?"He asked again,I nodded solemnly before turning to the other direction."It's boring watching the world from here,Get some sleep,It's going to be a long ride""Oh,I don't sleep during flights"I've never been in an Aeroplane before not to talk of a private jet but I don't sleep during long journeys.It was the reverse here actually,I didn't
EPISODE FOURHAZELAfter he left,I threw the tissue paper inside the trash can beside the gate.I made sure my eyes weren't wet any longer before pressing the doorbell.After a while,A man opened the gate and stared at me from head to toe before facing me again.What's that for?"Good evening,I'm here to see Stefano's Mom""And you are?"He asked in a hard tone,I pressed my lips together.Why is he not welcoming at all?"I..I'm his wife,He dropped me here a few minutes ago"I stuttered.Shit. I can't believe I introduced myself as his wife.His facial expression softened immediately,He moved back a little and opened the door wider for me."I'm sorry,you can enter"I entered the compound nervously. It felt as if I'm in an unfamiliar area.The designs,the flowers in the garden,Some rose flowers imprinted on the walls.The exterior of the mansion is it, Beautiful and special.A middle aged woman dressed in an expensive slim gown walked towards me,She was putting on little or no make up and

EPISODE FIFTY SIX.HAZEL'S POV.A week Later.DINNER PARTY."Do you think this dress will fit me? I think I became bigger."I mumbled, watching Stefano as he dressed up through the mirror."You wouldn't have looked any better Hazel, trust me."He chuckled, walking over to me.I sighed tiredly, staring back at the mirror.I can't believe I've gained all the weight I tried losing months ago, It's so frustrating, even though, Stefano wouldn't mind, I can't help but feel overly conscious of myself."You're carrying a baby, Hazel. What do you expect?"He chuckled, grabbing my waist and he pulled me closer to him."I know, I...""I love you, irrespective of any form you are. You will always be that cute Hazel."He cut me off calmly, locking our lips together.His hands roamed aimlessly on my back as the kiss deepened. Sparks rummaged through my body, shearing of the insecure thoughts I had in mind.There's just something about the way Stefano kisses me, it's so magical, yet soothing.Suddenly,
EPISODE FIFTY FIVE."And,I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I shouted at you."I apologized again,holding his hand."It's fine, it's completely fine."He mumbled,placing a soft and gentle kiss on my lips,he didn't pull away because I didn't let him.My hands were pressing his head to my mouth with all my strength,Stefano managed to drag my chair closer to where he is."Hey!"He called,managing to break away from the kiss. I licked my lips ravenously as he held my cheeks."May I?"He asked,fondling my cheeks carefully."Yes."I breathed a reply as he didn't let me finish my words.His hands were already working on my crop shirt,he ripped them off and brought out my breasts from the bra cups."Getting some new bras tomorrow. Your boobs look uncomfortable."He said worriedly. I nodded with a small smile lingering on my lips.He placed me on the table slowly,exposing my laps.I was wearing a short skirt with no panties on."Were you expecting this?"He grinned softly,placing some kisses on my nip
EPISODE FIFTY FOUR. "You don't have to abort the babies just to win his heart. He will surely come around. He's my son,I've known him for years,this is just him feeling angry and betrayed. And I'm sorry you have to go through all these just because of what our family went through in the past."Stefano's Mom coaxed softly as I was in her arms. "It's okay. It was my fault. I should have used birth control pills from the start. Our wedding will be a year next week and here we are fighting because of a baby."I mumbled,fighting back the tears lacing my ears. I went to her house after Stefano left as I was confused on what to do. If I abort the baby,he will surely hate me forever but what am I supposed to do? "I'm sorry,darling."She hugged me again, sniffing my hair admiringly. Meghan came back from the gym later with some treats for me which I ate. After that,I had a long sleep and didn't wake up until it was 8PM. STEFANO. I had a basketball time with Luca before we started

EPISODE FIFTY TWO.HAZEL.I woke up a few hours later with Stefano beside me. His hands were interlocked with mine and his head beside me,sleeping.I decided not to wake him up but the slight movements I made did."Hey. You're awake."He managed to say.I nodded slightly with my lips pressed together."The doctor said you can go home. I got the drugs for you."Then,my heart skipped a bit. The drugs are surely pregnancy drugs and that means he knew about it already. But,why isn't he saying anything?Why?"I would like to go home now.""Same here, I have lots of things to do."He replied. He walked to where my bag was and picked it up. Then,he came to help me down the bed."I can walk on my own.""Don't refuse it. You're still weak."He shushed me gently.Our ride home was very quiet and intimidating. I almost pushed him to talk but he was hush making calls.Getting home,It was already 10PM which is past our sleep time, Stefano helped me to the room by giving me a piggyback ride,it was such
