Please Don't take Me!

“Let the young master go if you don’t want to die at this moment,”

That deep cold voice delivered weakness in her spine. A black car was already parked in front of them where those men in black came. They surrounded Hazel and the little kid. They all have guns which look like real ones.

“Hand the young master over,” The man ordered.

Hazel gulped. The words from her mouth disappeared. A while ago, she already wanted to die, but after feeling that gun pointed at her head, she realized that she still wanted to live and be happy.

“Uwaaahh!!” 

The loud cry of the child made everyone flinch. The serious atmosphere lifted up and this gave Hazel a chance to talk.

“E-Excuse me, sir. “ She gulped. “I don’t know anything. This c-child r-r-ran onto me and c-ry,” She said, defending herself.

The tall man holding the gun pointed at her head looked at her with contempt. “Who are you kidding?” He asked. “You got the wrong person to kidnap.” 

“Kidnap?!” Hazel’s eyes widened, forgetting the gun pointed at her. “I did not kidnap anyone!” She exclaimed with her forehead wrinkled. “I will never do that!”

Hazel knew that she needed money that much, but kidnapping or taking someone’s kid will never be a choice for her to have money. She grew up in an orphanage and having kids around her became her peace.

She will never do such a thing. Besides, the child looked frightened too as it continued to clung onto her shoulders. Maybe they are the real kidnappers. They have a gun. It’s always the one with guns in the movies she used to watch.

“You will never trick me!” She exclaimed, looking at them and thinking they are dumb enough to threaten and point a gun at her under the broad daylight. There are a lot of people in this place who can help her if she screams for help.

The child can also stand by her side as a witness. She hugged the child tight. “Don’t you ever touch this child or I’m going to call the police!” She exclaimed.

The child suddenly pushed her away and dashed towards the man with a gun. He raised his small palm and smacked him.

“You are bad! Don’t hurt mama!” He yelled. “Stop! Stop!” He said it while stomping his little feet. “Don’t hurt mama! You are bad! Bad!” 

The men looked at each other and the atmosphere suddenly turned gloomy as soon as another car stopped in front of them.

The driver stepped out and immediately opened the door. A tall man wearing a long black coat stepped out of the car. He has arched dark eyebrows and brown eyes. Broad shoulders and upright posture with a muscular build. One look and Hazel already guessed that he is an Alpha from a higher class.

All of the men bowed their heads, shaking.

“Who told you to use your gun in front of my son?” 

His low resonant voice delivered chills to Hazel. Even though he is not talking to her, she can feel how intimidating he was.

The man withdrew the gun from Hazel’s forehead and bowed down. “I’m sorry boss!” He exclaimed with his shaking voice. The gun was quickly put inside his pocket.

Hazel wanted to laugh. Hearing and seeing that man cowering in fear made her lips curved up.

The man who just got out of the car, looked Hazel in the eyes. His gazes were sharp and bland. After looking at the lady, his eyes softened a little as he turned to the child.

“Theo,” he called out. “Come here. We need to go home.” He said.

To their surprise, the child named Theo rushed back to Hazel. 

“NO!” He insisted. “I hate Papa! I want Mama!” He exclaimed, making a stubborn face.

The man whom he is calling Papa, sighed. He fell silent for a second before talking again.

“Theo, she is not your Mom. Come here and let’s go.” He said. 

That didn’t not even flinch Theo. He stubbornly wrapped his arms around Hazel’s shoulders. 

“I WANT MAMA!” He blurted out. “I want Mama!” 

Theo’s voice was so loud that it rang through Hazel’s ears. She has no right to intervene since she didn’t even know this child and his father. She suddenly wondered why this child has a father like him.

The handsome man looks young and having a child like this is a surprise for him. Hazel gazed at the man intently while playing some thoughts inside her mind.

“Is this child an illegitimate child? An accident child? Where is the mother? Is it his child from an omega host that runs away after knowing how bad he is?” She thought.

She stared intently at him until she met his gaze that was also looking at her. Hazel gulped and quickly avoided his sharp eyes.

She gently touched Theo on both shoulders and talked to him.

“Theo, you should go home. I’m sorry but I’m not your mommy. You are mistaking me for someone.”

Theo sniffled quietly, tears threatening to spill from his eyes. It looks like convincing him with words will not work.

“Mama, do you hate me?” He asked, his voice holding back the shaking voice.

“It’s not like that.” Hazel replied. “I like you, of course. You are a good kid, but you need to listen to your Papa and go home.” She said, smiling at him.

“But I want Mama to go home with me.” Theo sniffled, wiping the tears finally rolling down on his chubby cheeks.

While Hazel was trying to comfort Theo, one of the men in black spoke to their boss.

“What are we going to do, boss? It seems like the young master didn’t want to let her go.” He said.

Theo’s father took out a black expensive cigarette from his pocket. One of his men lit it up. As he puffed a smoke followed by a sigh, his expression changed.

“I guess we have no choice,” he said, looking at Hazel.

Hearing this, Hazel felt uneasy. His body unconsciously moves backwards along with Theo.

“Are they going to kill me because I can’t convince the child to go with them?”

“It’s not my fault that this child calls me mama. I don’t even know him.”

“Don’t tell me, they are going to shoot me in the head in front of the child?!”

“I don’t want to die.”

These thoughts piled up inside her thoughts. Hazel closed her eyes, prepared for what fate awaits her when Theo’s father spoke.

“Bring her with Theo.” He ordered.

Two men held both of her arms. Theo followed them immediately when he heard it.

“Please don’t take me! I didn’t know this child!” She yelled.
