Anabelle spat on Hazel and ran out of the court room, she was blinded with tears, how could this happen to her? How could he just show up and take her baby away from her? She didn't know where she was running to, she was not even seeing anything but she knew that if she stayed in that courtroom even for a minute more, she would do something drastic, like trying to kill Hazel and ended up behind bars.

She hated him so much right now, how could she have ever loved someone as cruel as him? How could she have ever seen him like her God?

"Anabelle, wait up" she heard Mason yelled as he chased after her but she didn't stop, her world has come to an end.

The screeching of tires and the curses from drivers alerted her that she was on the road, she fell on the ground right in the middle of the road and all strength left her, she made no attempt to leave the road, she wanted to be crushed by those vehicles

    Hazel stepped out of his son's room in frustration. Who would have thought dealing with a kid could be this handful?"That child is pampered. See how he behaves like a very spoilt brat," his mother clenched out as soon as he went downstairs."I will not have my grandson behaving like a sissy"."He is just a kid, Mother. He is in a new environment, and his mother had just been taken away from him. Understand him please". Hazel replied as he used his palm to wipe off invisible sweats from his face."He is not just a kid. He is the heir to the De Valle empire, and being a sissy and Mama's boy won't help him," Lady Shark retorted, her tone filled with disgust."He has to toughen up because life is touching and not for the weak".Hazel sighed wearily."He will get used to our kind of life. He just needs time." Hazel replied in exasperation."I will ask you not to overindulge him, or he might grow up to become something else.""Okay, Mother... I have heard, but my priority now is how to get

Her mouth opened to say something and she shut it with no word coming out, what the hell was he doing here?"Are you the mother of the kid?" The doctor asked, interrupting her train of thought and she stared numbly at the doctor"Ma'am?"
