Hazel’s POVI laid back down on my bed, I felt exhausted and all I wanted to do was take a shower and sleep but I was also curious, Alesha had no idea the man she’d showered lots of praises to at the club was her boss.I pulled up my phone and went through the internet, I had typed the club’s name there and it was mentioned, rated five stars and one of the biggest and most expensive clubs in the city but no where did the owner was mentioned.“Damian— Gray.” I said as I punched the name in the search bar and there he was, my phone screen was filled with his picture and I couldn’t help but trace my fingers through my phone.He looked absolutely stunning and as usual he was on one of his gorgeous suits. I saw his net worth and my jaw dropped, I knew he’d be rich but I wasn’t expecting him to be as rich as that.I dropped my phone back as I sighed, I needed to rest. I made my way to the bathroom and I let out a wince when the cold water touched my skin but my body soon relaxed under the c
Hazel’s POV The emergent sound of my bedside alarm ringing woke me up from my sleep, I had jumped in fear before realizing it was just my alarm, “Son of a bitch.” I hissed as I hit the snooze button on it and stood to prepare to go the hospital.I had nothing to do for the rest of the week, I only needed to visit the club, sign the paper works and resume the next weekend.I got dressed and picking up my car keys, I walked out of the house to my car and I soon drove into the busy street of the city.I was late but I had managed to get there earlier than the initial time for the appointment.“What are the improvements?” I asked, I couldn’t wait to hear what the doctor had to say about my brother’s health. It’s been years and he’s finally responding to treatment.“Like I said, it’s not really something we can act on but his heart rate is improving and it’s extremely rare in cases like this—““But that’s a first right? I mean, it’s great news, it means there’s still a little bit of hope
Damian’s POVI watched as she blabbed on and taking my concern out of context, I decided I was going to leave her to do whatever she wanted to. I kept watching as she drank her shots and how she’d even made it to that baffles me, I’d thought she’d pass out after the fifth, puffing my cigarette I took one more glance at her and I could tell that she was already drunk.My eyes followed her till she got to the dance floor and I rolled my eyes when she started dancing and curling herself around the stranger that had probably invited her to dance.“Hi handsome, can I buy you a drink?” I heard an unfamiliar voice say drawing my attention away from the crowd, I turned to look at her and giving her one of my flirtatious smile.“Sure, why not.” I replied, monitoring Hazel with my side eye. Why was I worried about her when she isn’t even worried about herself? If she could throw herself at strangers then she would have no trouble taking care of herself.She smiled and signaled to the attendant
Hazel’s POV.I opened my eyes and my room was unusually bright, the curtains were opened and the brightness of the sun lightening up my room wasn’t helping my headache.I sat up on my bed with my palm placed on my head and that was when I’d realized I was naked. How? What had happened last night? I didn’t remember any of the things that had happened. One minute I was talking to Damian and I’d left him to go to the dance floor and the next minute I’m opening my eyes in my room, on my bed, completely naked.I turned to see a note by my bedside and I picked it up to read the content, my stomach churned and it was as though I was going to vomit when I read it.I heard a slight knock on the door and I’d forced myself to answer, I looked to see Alesha carrying a tray of food and I silently prayed that she was the one who’d helped me to bed.“How are you feeling?” She asked softly as she extended her hand to give me two tablets of Advil and a glass of water.“I’m fine,” I answered, taking th
Hazel’s POVThe week had gone by really quickly and I couldn’t stop myself from thinking about how I’d act when I get face to face with Damian. I stood from my bed, I had been scrolling through my phone the whole day without really doing anything.“Hazel!” I heard Alesha call and I rolled my eyes, she already told me she would call if I don’t get my ass out of my room.“Hazel, it’s your first time at work and you want to be late already?” She asked as she walked into my room and I laughed.I had no zeal to go especially after embarrassing myself in Damian’s house the previous week, what would he think of me?!“I’m coming, I just need to dress and pick out what to wear.” I answered, groaning as I made my way to the bathroom.I stayed for an hour practicing how I was going to say my hello to my boss before leaving the bathroom.“Hi, who would you like me to strip for today?” I said, looking into the mirror and I almost slapped myself, that was the most stupidest question I’ve ever heard
Hazel’s POV.I knew there was nothing to be worried about since I was heavily guarded with five hefty men. A tingling sixth sense told me to dash out of the stage and just pretend I’m sick or something but I couldn’t. Shrugging the feeling off, I continued stripping and dancing around the pole.I watched the look on his face grow intense and the slight smile he gave me while he also licked his lips slightly made me roll my eyes, I felt my confidence coming back as I danced and my boldness grew, thanks again to the shot.I took another glance at him and he was already standing and almost on the stage with me but was stopped by the hefty men which made me release a slight sigh of relief until I saw what he did next.He pulled out a bundle of dollar bills and handed it to the one holding him back who eventually slightly moved out of the way and acted like he didn’t see him coming to me.He got to me and slapped my butt gently, that made me angry and I had expected the guards to do someth
Damian’s POVI was watching as Hazel danced and satisfied the man that had picked her, none of the workers knew I had cameras set up in certain part of the club, I had looked away to pour myself a glass of scotch and what I saw next was something I wasn’t expecting to see.The man had slid one of the guards a pile of dollar bills and not only that, the guard allowed him go on the stage that was restricted to everyone but the strippers because it was for their safety.I watched with keen interest to see what was going to happen next and I watched as he left the stage while the guard took Hazel to him. My blood boiled with anger when I saw the way he stared at her, touching her hair with his disgusting fingers and trying to touch her body.That body wasn’t anyone else’s to touch, no one should’ve dared touch Hazel like that, my eyes widened and I angrily downed my glass of scotch when I saw the way he’d pulled her to him.I angrily stood from my chair and made my way to the VIP room, I
Damian’s POVI took the keys from one of the men and despite her insisting, I decided I was going to drive her to the hospital to at least get her checked. She had a lot of bruises that made me clench my fist again in anger and wish that I hadn’t killed the man that touched her.We got to the hospital and I could tell people were surprised when they saw us, the fleet of eyes that followed as we made our way to the doctors office made Hazel slightly uncomfortable as she walked so close beside me that I’ll bump into her with every step I took.“Mr Gray,” the doctor greeted as we both made our way to his office and I nodded as I sat down, “we only have a few tests to run on her and we can let you know if she’s out of the woods.” He added and I raised an eyebrow.What does he mean if she’s out of the woods?“What do you mean?” I asked, stealing a glance at Hazel who was still shivering, her lips quivered as she clutched her purse tightly and I’d noticed that even the slightest sound would
