EPISODE THIRTY NINE"Mom!"I exclaimed, staring at her. How could she keep such a thing to herself?"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I just don't know how to. I don't want it to affect your relationship with her daughter."She's Only holding onto my clothes tightly."I will sort this out myself. You don't have to worry about it again."I assured her.I really don't want to make any rash decisions about this. It might affect the relationship between me and Hazel, which I don't want but Mom's mental health is at stake here. She's not strong enough to endure his threats."I will get you a new phone and private line later in the day. Don't worry about it. I will sort it out."I patted her back and left the room.Hazel's call came in right before I left the room,I sighed tiredly before picking it up."Hey."I muttered slowly."Good morning. I didn't see you when I woke up"she says in a drowsy voice."You were sleeping then.""Oh."She muttered slowly."Stefano,Is there....""I will come to t
EPISODE FORTY.STEFANO.I messed up again. She looks so fucking hurt and pained that I'd to put her through this trauma again. She clearly did not know who her father was,I wished she did. They made life so hard for Amanda that we couldn't have a good time for ourselves for more than three years.She's just getting back to her feet. How would she feel if she realized that Hazel was the daughter of the man who turned her to this?I dropped the phone tiredly on the bed,not knowing what to do.Amanda has been kidnapped,which I'm surely aware of,I couldn't even face Hazel who was still stark naked on the bed,bleeding.How did I end up here?With her?Why did life have to be so complicated for me that I can't even live a good life with the people I love and cherish again?My phone started ringing again. Surprisingly,It was Labrinth."How did you lose them?I told you to always be on guard!"I roared, squeezing the phone in my hands."I've been shot. Two times."She groaned painfully,Her words k
EPISODE FORTY ONELocating the place wasn't easy at all,They planned everything so well before they executed it.Luca handled the wheel since I'm not in the right state of mind."You told mama?"Luca asked suspiciously.I nod slowly and push my hair back. I wished I didn't tell her,but she always catches up on things so fast.Her eyes were laced with tears when I told her that Amanda had been kidnapped by the same people who ruined us years ago.How we survived it,I didn't know.The last thing I would ever do on earth is to let anyone hurt Amanda but they are doing it again. They are ruining my girl again and I'm here doing nothing."Fuck."I cursed under my breath angrily,I palmed my face slowly to stop the tears from streaming down."She will be fine. I'm assuring you this. She will...""You know Amanda. She tried commiting suicide many times. You knew the sleepless nights we had because of what Evans and Ricardo made her go through. Amanda will never be fine. I might lose her this ti
EPISODE FORTY TWOLUCA.The pain Stefano's face held knew no bounds as he slipped into unconsciousness. "What do you think you're doing?"Stefano's Mom pushed her out of her way. She stared at Hazel who was busy cleaning the blood on her Dad's face. She didn't even spare Stefano who was bleeding profusely at a glance."He's here. He held me..My body. He tried ex..exploring m..my body. He..."Amanda sobbed,holding onto my clothes."You're with me now. With Luca. Not him. Not Evans. Not Ricardo. You're done living in that hell. I'm here."I cried, hugging her tightly. I hate seeing her in pain. It hurts so much. Amanda has grown fond of me over the years because of how I stayed with her during the times of crisis after her first marriage went down the drain. She calls me anytime there's a problem or when she's having a breakdown. I don't want to see her in this state anymore but Evans caused this again because of some few thousands of dollars.She looked so tiny and vulnerable,I'm glad be
EPISODE FORTY THREE.After the doctors treated me,I slept off. I didn't wake up until evening.The one who seems like the head of doctors came to me after they told him I'm awake already.I sat up timidly on the bed and covered my legs with the flexible cover."Are you okay now?Does your back and waist still hurt?"He asked, sitting beside me."It still hurts a little but I will be fine. Thank you."I smiled slightly at him."You shouldn't have annoyed her. Megan can be a nutcase anytime she's angry. And it's about her siblings too.''He chuckled, bringing out some papers out of the brown envelope."I know. I deserved the push. She should have done more than that so she will feel less angry at me."I nodded, wiping the tears welled up in my eyes."I carried out some tests for you and we found out another condition too."He raised the paper in the air and waved it in front of me,slyly."What's that?"I asked, curiously."You're a week pregnant."He announced nonchalantly as if he didn't just
EPISODE FORTY FOUR.Stefano's Mom has been helpful for the past three days. She makes some tea that will cure my dizziness and vomiting which is really helpful.I thought the symptoms wouldn't come so fast but it did. I could hardly do anything that requires strength these days which Amanda noticed.Their mother broke the news of my pregnancy to them.Megan and Luca didn't react to it.It was as if they were disappointed about it or maybe they regretted treating me badly.They stopped talking to me.Just the normal greetings and nothing more than that."You should go home and wash up. I prepared some soup for us. Come back and eat."Stefano's Mom urged me softly.She collected the cold towel I used wiping Stefano's body from me.I didn't want to release it at first but she urged me to."I'm fine. I can dress up here.""No. I insist. Go home. Make sure you rest well too. I won't be sleeping here tonight. You will.""Oh,I will sleep then."I nodded and made to leave.Shortly,a call came on m
EPISODE FORTY FIVE."The doctor just got off work. I will make sure I send him a message so he will come early tomorrow morning. It's just 3AM. He will soon be here.""And you've been awake since last night?Rubbing this on my body?"He asked,pushing his hair to the back.Oh! How much I have missed this sexy gesture of his."Y..Yes. The method helps a lot. I...""Go and grab some sleep. I'm okay now."He cut me off rudely.I pressed my lips together slowly and walked out of the room without arguing with him further.I just want to see his face more. Why is he not allowing me to stay with him?The bed is even wide enough to accommodate us. He should have let me sleep with him. I've missed him so much.Gosh. Stefano and his nasty temper.*The next day,The doctor rushed in before 7AM. His exclamation was what woke me up from my sleep. How's he here already?I stretched lazily on the bed and got off it immediately.I took a quick bath in the bathroom and changed into a body fit gown. Thankf
EPISODE FORTY SIX.I didn't know this shortcut Stefano took but we got home at the same time.Labrinth helped me with the bags and soup ingredients we got on our way back. I'm planning to prepare some soup for him since he can't take any heavy meals for now."Stefano."I called rushing to his car to help him step down but he did that himself before I got there."Are you okay?"I asked again touching his body."Yes. I am."I inhaled a deep breath the moment Labrinth opened the door,I've missed the homely smell so much.I will finally get some good sleep today without worrying much about Stefano again."You can go freshen up in the room. I will wash the ingredients in the fridge."Labrinth promised,with a small smile lingering on her face."Are you going out?""Uhmmm. I need to get some work done."She said pointing to Stefano who was busy with his phone."Oh. Make sure you come back for dinner then."I smiled lightly and her.She pecked me softly on my cheeks before scurrying away."We shou
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
EPISODE FIFTY ONE. HAZEL'S POV Later in the night,Stefano's returned looking gloomy as hell. I came back home with Amanda who left almost immediately again with Luca making me the only one in the house. I was just coming out of the bathroom when he entered the room His eyes were on me all through. He wasn't looking at me in a sexual manner,He just stared,and stared. "It was rude of me to do that,And I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said all that."He apologized again,I walked closer to him slowly and cupped his cheeks. "I've missed you."I coaxed,hugging him. Maybe I shouldn't have overreacted. My Dad is a bad person, and there's no lie in all what he said about him. He's someone I shouldn't reckon with anymore. "Oh,Hazel."He managed to muffle out my name as he breathes in my scent. "I love you so much, There are lots of things happening these days and I think I wouldn't have been able to get through them without you,And-" "Save the words for now."I mumbled,letting go of my towel
EPISODE FIFTY.The next morning ~HAZEL.Stefano woke up earlier before I did. I stood up slowly from the bed, thanking my stars profusely that Stefano isn't in the room because of my annoying morning sickness. Gosh. This baby should not better rat me out before I'm bold enough to break the news to his father.After washing my face and body, I returned to the room just to meet him there, busy with his phone and laptop.Why's he always busy?"The connection isn't strong still?Fuck. Mason. I don't pay you millions of dollars monthly just for you to piss me off this morning."He roared banging the table, making one of the phones crash into the floor.His anger. The way his muscles budge at intervals. Making him the sexy hot headed guy he's always been.I gasp loudly,making him aware of my presence.His features softened the moment he set his eyes on me. How much influence do I have on Jamal?. This always got me curious."Hey."He stretched his hand out to me, I collected it slowly before s
EPISODE FORTY NINE."you know I will never let you do that?"He chuckled,pulling me back to the bed."Why?"I asked,confused. I thought all men loved it. He also ate me the other day."I don't know. It makes me feel like they were my subordinates or something. I don't like it,Hazel.""I just wanted to-""I know. But I'm meant to give you all the pleasures. That doesn't make me feel less of a man. But this might make you feel bad. The same way you felt the first time we had sex."He explained in such a calm and soothing manner,rubbing on my tummy as well.As if he knew something was there, His baby. Our baby. Gosh."Thank you."I whispered,locking my lips with his. My hands were in his soft hair as we smooched each other lips."What happened to your body?Are you okay?"He asked suddenly,pulling away from the kiss.My heart skipped a bit,lost of words. My hands were tightened on the below behind him,as I was still in his arms."Babe-"He called,rubbing his hands more on my tummy."I think- I'
EPISODE FORTY EIGHT.My hands ran over her body, pressing, squishing and squeezing her into my arms. I slowly took her to the bed, while her hands were wrapped around my neck."Do I have your permission?"I asked, covering my chest with the duvet. Hazel shot me a stare immediately, she dropped her head, making her long hair cover her face, Her hands were wrapped in between each other. A gesture she's fond of doing anytime she's nervous. My shy woman."Hazel."I repeated, cupping her cheeks.Her thin full lips trembled slightly."You don't ask for permission anytime you want to sleep with me. W-what came o-v-ver you?"She stuttered softly, letting go of my clothes she clutched to earlier."I'm sorry. I didn't apologize for what I did the last time.""You made sex unbearable for me. Intimacy scares me a lot. My body had a hard time adapting to your sex life but I never complained. I-I just want you to know how hard it was for me."She sobbed, dabbing her eyes softly.Fuck. I shouldn't have h
EPISODE FORTY SEVEN"I got you a yogurt."She stretched her hand holding the small bottle to me, urging me to collect it.I smiled slightly at her before grabbing it. "Thank you.''I giggled as we took our seats."How are things with Stefano these days?"Amanda asked, taking a sip from her bottle."Not smooth. We had an argument before the incident happened. He only checks up on my welfare. Nothing else."I shrugged, sadly."Stefano isn't a bad person. Circumstances and past events that happened to us turned him into this. He believed that since he's the only male among us, He should be the one shouldering all our responsibilities.""May I ask what happened?"I asked curiously, hoping it won't annoy her."Our father is a very bad person. He involved himself in all sorts of shady deals. Stefano was never comfortable with it. That's why he started living on his own at a very young age. And I, as the first daughter, had to be the one taking over Stefano's duties. I got married at a very young
