EPISODE THREE
I 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 last up to five minutes before I slept off.
LUCA
After eating,I strode to where Stefano was. He was picking on his clean fingernails, obviously having not much to do or maybe he couldn't use his laptop since the jet took off already.
"You must be annoyed,"I muttered while sitting before him.
He dropped his legs and stared at me in a weird manner.
"Of course. I'm annoyed. I feel like cursing her. Thought I'd be meeting an attractive woman with good sexual appeal. Fuck them for giving me someone like this"
"Christ. She's beautiful,You're just denying that. I know you don't like chubby women but she's not chubby,She's round. And nice too."
"She's obviously nice because of her background,She wasn't even talking back to me."
"Just trust the damn process,I'm sure you will like her."
"Of course. She should better stay away from me for her own good."
"Can I have her then?"I teased.
His eyes glinted immediately,showing annoyance.
"Whoa. Whoa. Chill."I chuckled in between dramatic breaths.
"She's my wife now. Fuck off."
"Treat her well. I'm sure you guys can make good couples. Be nice to her."
"She should be to herself and not meddle into my business,I don't fucking care."He cursed,Hot breaths sizzling out from his nose.
He's angry.
Literally mad because of her.
I fucking know that Stefano's just denying the fact that Hazel is beautiful. Very beautiful. He thought he'd meet rather an ugly desperate bitch who'd read lots of articles about him but Hazel was different.
She didn't check up on him on the internet, We'd their devices cloned so we knew everything that's going on with them.
Everything was literally different about her.
She's soft spoken and well built too.
Well built in the terms of big blossoms and a perfect ass to complement it.
Stefano likes his women slim and 'liftable'.
"I will be visiting Nora later in the week,"I announced.
He opened his eyes and stared at me in a weird manner.
He always has the perfect expression for every situation.
Fuck him.
"What are you doing with that bitch?"
"For business."
"Fuck you. Luca. I told you I'm not having anything to do with her again. The stuff was delivered. I had a messy deal because of her stubbornness."
"Yet,she's still a good choice for us."
"Fuck you."He cursed again before closing his eyes shut not wanting to talk to me again.
HAZEL
I woke up because of the loud siren indicating that the plane was about to land.
My body was covered with soft thick silk,I stretched my neck tiredly and opened my eyes just to see Stefano staring at me.
Oh.
"You'd a good sleep?"He scoffed.
His expression is still as stony as ever.
I'm always nervous around him. He's just too much.
"Yes,thank you."I mumbled.
He threw a parcel at me and pointed his head to the small restroom.
"What.."
"Go get changed,You can't meet my mom in that shabby dress of yours."
"It's not that bad."I muttered,disappointed.
It's the best of my dress and mom went through lots of stress before choosing it for me.
"Of course,And clean off the drool on your mouth, It's disgusting"He said with a grimace on his face.
I touched my face and grabbed the mirror close but there's nothing there.
Huh.
"I didn't drool"I defended but he wasn't turning back at me.
"I mean it!"I raised my voice but he was far gone.
Geez!That nutjob of a man.
After changing into the beautiful tight fitted dress.
I looked more different and maybe, beautiful.
The dress could have been more perfect if the sleeves weren't slacking off showing a portion of my boobs but it's good,still.
I packed my long hair in a more matured manner,I fixed the pins carefully to hold the hair tighter.
I stared at myself in the mirror for a while before going out of the restroom.
Luca left and I don't know why.
Now,I'm left with Stefano.
I walked to where he was but he was on a call.
I waited for him to be done,He turned to me swiftly.
"Wh..."
STEFANO
Christ. She's beautiful. Fucking beautiful.
Her rough hair was now packed up neatly,The fucking poor sleeves couldn't even hold her boobs firmly.
She was nervous as hell as my eyes bore into her body. My eyes went dead immediately I realized I was staring at her too much.
Our marriage is all shades of wrong.
I shouldn't get attracted to her.
I just can't.
It's wrong.
I shot her one last stare before walking out of the plane while she follow me.
"Where are we going to?"She asked after me trying to keep up with my pace.
"My mom's place."
"Is she nice?"She asked, curiosity eating her up.
The guard opened the door for us,I let her go in first before sitting beside her.
The driver ignited the car to life and zoomed out of the building.
"She's not nice. She hates commoner as fuck and you won't be an exception."I told her which isn't true.
Mom is actually the nicest person I've ever met. Soft and considerate to a fault.
She's been calling since I went to pick her up,Teaching me how to be nice to her as my wife. My fucking wife.
I just need to get rid of her as soon as possible.
Her eyes filled with curiosity earlier drooped immediately.
"Sorry,I shouldn't have asked."
"Are you trying to impress her?Wait,You're..."I scoffed and she shook her head immediately.
"No, I'm not trying to do that,I just..."
"Then,don't try to do it,She's not who you can toy with,Your stay on your fucking lane,As the fucking imbecile that you are,Don't try to meddle into my life or business. You're just my wife. For the cameras!"
I rambled on on how she should stay on her lane,saying sorts of 'words' to her.
"Stefano"She called,Her eyes laced with tears and I stopped talking immediately.
Shit. I overreacted.
She blinked back rapidly trying to stop the tears from falling but it's not working.
Fuck.
"I've heard you,And I wasn't trying to gain her favor because of the marriage,I knew the marriage and everything is wrong but you should be more nice with the words you say."
"Sir,we are there."The driver announced.
I stared at the huge mansion in front of us and sighed tiredly.
I had an argument with her already. I overreacted. Said too much already.
"Get out of the car and go meet her,I will pick you up later"I muttered, not facing her anymore.
I don't want to see that pitiful face.
She sniffed and grabbed some tissue paper.
She stepped out of the car slowly.
"Leave this fucking area now"I ordered immediately she's out of the way.
She stood in front of the gate and watched us leave.
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 FIVE"Mum,I'm so sorry,I shouldn't have...""Christ. Stop blaming yourself for what you didn't cause,He will calm down sooner or later."She smiled softly at me.I walked to the smashed picture and knelt beside it.I tried using my hands to pack it but she grabbed them immediately."You will ruin your pretty hands,The maids will do it for me,Just leave it and go."She scolded."I'm sorry,I just..""Go now before he gets mad,No one can survive Stefano's anger.""Oh,I will leave now"I bowed respectfully before walking out of the house.The rain was heavier than I thought.Stefano was already in the car which is a little bit far from the entrance.I catch cold easily when I walk under the rain but I have no choice.After taking a short prayer,I ran into the heavy rain.The rain drenched me before I got into the car. The driver opened the door from the inside for me,I entered the car almost bumping my head On Stefano's chest who was just getting up to adjust his seat."I'm sorry"No
EPISODE SIXHAZELMy heart almost left my chest the moment he was taking off his shirt,I thought we were having sex.But how will you be having sex with someone you're not in love with?I hope he won't continue his wayward lifestyle now that we are married.And if he continues,Who am I to argue with him?"Go to your room"He described the room to me which made me wonder if we won't be using the same room."Are we not using the same room?"I blurted.The word really slipped out of my mouth.Geez,I wished I could control my intrusive thoughts sometimes.He turned to me sharply in amusement and walked closer to me."In the same room?As we are what?""I'm sorry,I shouldn't have asked,"I said briefly and dragged my bag slowly behind me.I could feel his eyes on me as I walked to the stairs.Thank God he didn't try picking up an argument again.He was really pissed off when he's with his mom and I don't blame him.He's just mad and angry because of the whole arrangement.I got to the room and
EPISODE SEVENI wished I didn't set the alarm. It rang so loudly that I switched off in anger with my head still buried in the sheets.I feel like sleeping more.I sighed tiredly before getting up on the bed,I washed my face with the cleanser in the bathroom.This is my first morning as a married woman which seems kind of weird to me.I hope Stefano won't reject the meals I make,I hope he won't reject his favorite coffee because his Mom told him he only drinks her coffee.I hope...Stupid.I think I'm getting worried about this whole thing.I should just do what I want to do without trying to impress him.I wore a baggy jogger top on my because it was still cold as hell.After making sure I tied my hair properly,I walked out of the room but my eyes caught something on the wall.The heater is turned on.Huh. Who turned it on?I thought it was switched off yesterday?Or..Nah,I probably thought it was off.I located the kitchen easily. It is very spacious.Almost the size of our house
EPISODE EIGHTSuch a jerk!I can't believe he couldn't appreciate my efforts.Why is he so grumpy and rude?Gosh,I just couldn't understand why he's acting this way.I sighed softly before walking back to the kitchen to take breakfast.STEFANO Luca was already in the office before me,I don't come to the building,I don't like table work,I preferred going out the field to get my shits done.Luca is busy flipping through the pages of the documents."What are you doing?"I asked, slamming the door shut behind me.He almost freaked out,I chuckled before walking towards my seat."Christ. You got me!"He exclaimed.He dropped the documents tiredly."What are you looking for?"I asked without sparing the files on the table at a glance."I didn't know where we kept the contract with Baron,It's so exhausting looking for it.""You must find it,I'm sure you know how cunning Baron is?"I questioned picking interest in it.He nodded, scratching his head with the black fancy pen.His eyes glinted imme
EPISODE NINE"Your mom's place?Why should I go to her place?"I asked in shock, standing up on my feet.He pushed his long hair back frustratingly,His eyes roamed around the living room as if he's avoiding my gaze."I'm traveling. You shouldn't be here alone. Go to her place for the meantime and maybe,continue living with her."Okay. He's lying.Stefano isn't going anywhere,He's not telling me the truth. His voice isn't portraying the message. Neither his actions."We are married. Stefano. We should be doing what couples do,I...I know I'm unattractive and all that but you really don't have to treat me this way.""Unattractive?That sounds like you just said what I've been trying to say since."He mocked.My eyes were laced with tears,again. Damn. I really don't want to cry.His words keep getting to me every time,it's so unfair."You said marital duties?Like having sex?Jesus Christ. I must really be a joke to you. You think I would want to have anything to do with you? I'm not fucking at
EPISODE TENSTEFANO.I scrolled through my phone as I strolled into the company.Nothing interesting. Just the cops daily brouhahas and the celebrities.Luca managed to keep me mysterious from the public to avoid controversies. I'm grateful for that."Look who's coming to the office regularly these days."Luca teases. He grabbed the phone from my hand and stuff it with a stack of documents instead."You got through him already?"I asked, scrolling through the papers not understanding a damn about it.Fuck. I really need to start taking office ethics classes."He's not replying. I'm sure the fucker is somewhere looking for a puppy to pull some strings for him first.""Tell Marcos to keep tabs on him,His activities and everything.""Marcos went for vacation"He says.Vacation?That rascal takes breaks?"And who gave him the permission to go for a vacation?"I yell.I attracted the other workers passing by,They ignored me to avoid them being sacked.Luca sighs softly before patting my chest.
EPISODE ELEVENHAZELLuca blocked my ears till we got into the car. He doesn't want me to hear any of the conversations.Will Stefano be safe? What if the men are dangerous?One of his men is sitting in the driver seat,ready to take us home. I sighted a black pistol on his lap.My body stiffened.Luca notices immediately since he's holding me."Hide your fucking gun you bastard!"He cursed trying not to raise his voice at him.The guy quickly pushed the gun into the safe and shut it."Hazel,are you okay?"Stefano's Mom asked the moment I entered the car.I nodded, holding her hands immediately. "I'm fine."I stutter with fear clearly written all over my face."Are you not going with us?"I ask Luca after he closes the door."I will be right behind you. Don't worry.""Lu...""We will handle it. Princess."He coos."Mom,will Stefano be fine?"I ask during the ride.I couldn't help but be worried about him.What if he's hurt?"He will be fine,"She assures.STEFANO."Who's that bitch?Your new ch
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
