Hazel’s POV
“You’re fired!” I heard my boss roar and all that I had in mind was running away. The blood gushing out of the side of his head was terrifying and what was more terrifying was the fact that I’d done that.I smirked as I hid my fear under a fake bravado, he could decide to press charges but I knew he wouldn’t, he had just tried to touch me inappropriately so pressing any charges wouldn’t really end well for him.“Good, because I fucking QUIT!” I yelled as I made my way out of his office, I could feel the eyes of my colleague following me but I didn’t care, I had bruises at the side of my lips from the slap I’d received from him for not cooperating.I should’ve seen the signs, I should’ve known something like this was bound to happen, I noticed him staring at me sexually and many times he would pass sexual advances to me, I didn’t think it was something to be worried about and that was where I got it all wrong.I walked to my car and decide to drive back home as fast as I could, I’d cried for some minutes before picking up my phone to call my best friend. If I hadn’t taken that vase and broken it on his head then he would most likely have gotten his way with me.“Alesha?” I cried into the phone as I called my best friend, she’d picked up on the third ring and I knew she was probably surprised as I never call around that time.“What’s the matter, girl?” Her cheery voice came from over the phone and it went gloomy immediately she heard my sob, “Hazel? Are you okay?” She asked again and I shook my head.“He... he.” I stammered, I was unable to even complete a sentence because I was shook and still terrified from all that had happened back there.“Who? He? Your boss?” She asked and I nodded as though she could see me, I was unable to speak, “don’t tell me he tried to?” She added and she got her answers when I sobbed loudly.“That son of a bitch! Where are you?” She asked again, I could tell she was worried about me, about my well-being.“At the office—““Girl, what the hell are you still doing at the office, why are you not home already? Why are you still there?” She cuts in, stopping me mid-sentence.“I’m not in there, I’m outside,” I sniffed, “could you come here? I can’t drive.” I finished and I heard a beeping sound.I knew she’d hung up because she was right on her way to me, I placed my head on the steering as I waited for my best friend to arrive.Alesha was more than a best friend, she was the only family I had except for my little brother, known her since high school and she’d been more supportive than any one in my life had ever been.I heard a slight tap on my car window and I lifted my gaze to see my best friend already outside, I opened up and had asked her to come in.“Did he do this to you?” She asked as she examined my cheek, my arm and my eyes and I only nodded affirmatively.“Yeah, he tried to kiss me and—““That bastard!” She yelled as she tried to get the door to open up but I stopped her.“Alesha! Alesha! Hold on—““Don’t tell me to hold on girl, that mother fucker did this to you and you just want him to go scot-free? I taught you better than this, girl.” She yelled at me as she tried to open the door again.“He’s not going scot-free, I hit a flower vase on his head and he’s probably bleeding to death already.” I screamed at the top of my lung to stop my best friend and I saw a proud smile form on her lips.“Now, that’s it—“ she said as she gestured that we exchanged seats so she could take the driver’s side.“But what if he decides to press charges? I could go to jail.” I pointed out, allowing my fear show as I spoke and she only shook her head.“He wouldn’t dare that. You have bruises on you to prove you only did that to protect yourself, it was self-defense and I know that son of a bitch too much to know he wouldn’t want to do anything that could get him in another trouble.” She added and I was relieved.She was right, she knew him and she was the one who’d also helped me get a job there, my boss was one of her multiple man friends so getting a job for me in his company came easy to her.They broke up and he started showing interests in me, I would occasionally brush him off but my best friend’s also usually warned me to be careful, I never thought he was going to act on his perverted feelings.“Let’s just go.” I sighed as I closed my eyes and it wasn’t long before Alesha pulled into the street.She’d tried her best to cheer me up but I couldn’t help but get lost in my thought, I needed the job, I had lots of bills to pay and my little brother would probably die if I don’t pay the hospital their monthly due.I didn’t know when the tears tickled down my face until my friend cleared her throat, I hurriedly tried to clean it off but she placed her palm on my laps and I just lost it.“I can’t be unemployed,” I cried, “I just can’t, there’s a lot of things I need to do, bills I need to pay, Callum could die if I can’t pay the hospital to keep his oxygen on.” I added as I did little to hide what I was going through.She understood everything and she knew I couldn’t possibly be without job as I needed it just as much as I need air to breathe. Callum is the only blood related family I had and I wasn’t ready to let go of him, not yet.“Callum isn’t dying, nobody is dying. We’ll get through this, we’ll find our way around. You have me.” She assured and I nodded as she pulled into our building.“Now smile and be the pretty girl you are, you’ll be fine. Trust me.” She added and I dried my tears as we both stepped out of the car to get to our apartment.Alesha wouldn’t leave me to myself and anytime I was lost in thought, she would occasionally try to pull me out of it, she didn’t want to let me out of her sight even when she needed to get to work.I picked up my phone to check the time and it was 7:35pm, I sighed as I rubbed my eyes, I knew it would be difficult for me to get my sleep but I also wouldn’t want to stay awake and let the thoughts of things I need to get done drive me crazy.“My shift starts in 25 minutes.” Alesha announced as she dabbed her lipstick on. She works as a waitress in one of the biggest club in the city, she tells me about how strict her boss was but she’d never really set her eyes on him, he operates like a ghost according to her.She sighed when I didn’t say anything, I was lost in my phone as I scrolled through different sites trying to get a hold of a Vacancy advert. I scrolled through LinkedIn and I got nothing.“Why can’t there be an opening at one of these goddamn companies or shops or—“ my voice drifted off as I sighed, “I’m tired of scrolling and getting nothing.” I added as I threw my phone on the couch.“There would be no scrolling and searching for job, I told you we got this,” Alesha said, “you know what, you’re following me to work today and I don’t wanna hear whatever it is you have to say.” She added as she pulled me out of the couch.“But, I would be disturbing, I don’t want you to worry—““You would do the same for me, now go get dressed. I really can use a familiar face as those idiots at the club makes me want to go insane, you’ll be like my guardian angel.” She said with a bright smile and I couldn’t say no.I needed to leave the house just as much as she wants me to and the club would be the best place to be, I wouldn’t have to get lost in thought as the music would be too loud for that to happen.I got dressed and grabbed my purse and phone as we both got out of the house, Alesha drove and soon we were already at the club, she ushered me to where I could sit before she started her shift.She would check up on me every time to make sure I was okay and I couldn’t stop being appreciative, the club was getting busy and I knew she would have less time, I scrolled through my phone for a while and soon I decided to go to the toilet as I was really pressed.I finished and I heard a ding on my phone, it was a notification from my favorite job hunting site, I was too engrossed going through my phone when I bumped into something.Except, it wasn’t something, it was someone.“Are you blind?” I heard the figure ask but I was less concerned about him, I picked up my phone as I tried to get it turned on but nothing worked.“You just bumped into me and—““You know what, jerk. You just fucking bumped into me and now my phone is broken, I can’t get it on because of you and if you want an apology from me, well you’re not going to get it!” I yelled out in anger and I could tell even he was surprised at my outburst.I walked past him and I made sure to hit him as I did and not only that, I stepped on him and made sure it hurts but he didn’t flinch.I got back to my seat to work on my phone but nothing I tried worked, it wasn’t coming on.“Great! Now I need to get a new phone.” I sighed to myself as I leaned back to rest on the space provided for me.I opened my eyes to see the figure I’d bumped into, his face wasn’t really clear in the club light but I could feel my hatred for him and my blood boiled in anger.Damian’s POV“Don’t shoot! Don’t fucking shoot!” I yelled, the room was foggy from the teargas they’d released and I could barely see. My house was under attack from the rival gang and they’d met her inside the house.She was pregnant and my life flashed right in front of my eyes when I heard the sound of gunshot followed by the revving sound of vehicles driving off.“No, no,” I crawled to her side and there she was, covered in her own pool of blood, she was laying there cold and my blood dried as I stared at her.My world stood completely still. Nothing moved. Not even the sound of the receding car and the footsteps of the man that had just pulled the trigger made a sound as they all left my compound. Colors faded as I felt my chest tighten in pain, anger and my blood boiled with revenge.A cold, shivering wind blew on the back of my neck and ears like the touch of cold fingers. Suddenly, my whole world seemed unnaturally dark like all the lights went out when Mia breathed her last b
Hazel’s POV“I just can’t do it, Alesha. Stripping in front of hundreds of eyes is against my moral standard.” I fumed as I paced about the sitting room.Alesha had just gotten off from her shift and had told me her club was in need of a stripper, I know she saw nothing wrong with it but I do. I’m not just prepared to allow those hungry men see me naked.“You don’t have to pull the whole thing off,” she explained and my eyes widened again, “you could still leave your bra and panties on if you’re not comfortable with pulling it all off.” She added and it was as though a bell was ringing in my head.“JUST LISTEN TO YOURSELF, ALESHA. DO IT IF YOU WANT TO! I’M OUT!” I yelled as I picked up my phone to leave for my room. I really am desperate for a job but not that desperate.“You don’t think I’ve tried? I work as a waitress there already, it’s not open for people like me anymore. Besides it’s going to be in the VIP room, no one is really allowed in there asides the big names.” She added a
Damian’s POV“Kill him.” I ordered as I cracked my fingers and turned my back at the man that was already bleeding profusely and at the verge of death but still somehow begging to not be killed.“Please, Boss. Please, I promise I would stop working for them and—““So you admit you’re working for them while also working for me?” I asked, not turning to look at him as I spoke, he’d just ratted us out to our rival gang and he had the nerve to deny.He’d just shot himself in the leg when all I did was just a little bit of torture.I turned to look at him and I was satisfied at the realization he had on his face, he didn’t know when he blew his own whistle.I looked at his hand on the table and even that sight too was also pleasing, I’d only chopped three of fingers off, I wanted to do more but I had a dinner date with my mother, keeping her waiting was one thing I detested doing.“Please boss. They offered me a lot of—“ I didn’t let him finish his statement when I pulled the trigger, shoo
Damian’s POVI angrily made my way out of the house as I walked to my car, I’d placed a call to one of my men and since I needed to let some steam off, I had him prepare a few things.“Yeah, get her too.” I answered as I hung up the call, I stood for a while to smoke my cigarette and I kicked the little trash can outside the house angrily.“Son of a bitch!” I growled as I walked to my car and got in, I ordered that I be taken back to the apartment set aside for my sex slave.We got there in nothing less than minutes and I found the one I’d tied up still waiting for me on the bed, I looked around to see the other coming out of the bathroom.“You know what to do now, get to work.” I let out in a groan as I got on the bed and took off the blindfold of the other girl, she got closer to me and took in my scent, something about that made my cock kick even harder.“You too.” I whispered as I laid on the bed and the girl who’d just got out of the bathroom came on to join us and help pull my c
Hazel’s POVThe sound of the girls moaning and the sight of them pleasuring Damian was excruciatingly painful, I’d stood to leave but I was stopped by the men at the door, unable to do anything I went back to the chair I’d sat on earlier.“what are you doing?” I said but it came out in a whisper as one of the men starts tying me up, I looked up to see Damian smirk and I could immediately tell that this was his own way of punishing me for being rude to him.I swallowed down hard as I forced the bile at the back of my throat to go down, he’d signaled to one of the girls to come to me.The sight of her juicy pussy and the pinkness of it sent me into a haze, she rubbed it slightly and I could see her liquid drip as she brought her fingers to her mouth to lick it.I felt a slight drip under my panties, I had no idea what that was. I’d never been in a situation like this before, I only watch porn and slightly satisfy myself by myself but this was different, I wanted things done to me and wh
Hazel’s POV I picked up my phone as I found my way out of the bathroom, naked. The place wasn’t really crowded and I’d called Alesha who informed me about the secret way out that was only meant for emergencies.“Don’t ask.” I snarled as I got into her car and mentally slapped myself, the look Damian had on his face when he’d walked in on me naked still surfaced in my head and I closed my eyes out of frustration.“I know you told me not to ask but where the fuck are your clothes?” She asked with her eyes wide as she handed me the new clothes she had at her back seat.Alesha always held extra clothes just in case she wouldn’t come back home and would need to work the next day. I rolled my eyes as I ignored her questions because that would only lead to me telling her about masturbating in the bathroom and Damian walking in on me.“Okay, don’t answer.” She laughed and the look I gave her made her stop laughing as she drove out of the driveway.I made up my mind not to go to the club the
Damian’s POVI tried as hard as I could to look away from her but I couldn’t, she was dressed in a black and extremely short gown that made my dick kick the minute I saw her.Her perfectly shaped legs that I imagined on my shoulders and around my neck and her dark red lip gloss on her plum lips, everything about her seemed to turn me on and I soon start feeling hot in the cold room.I watched as the lady who was supposed to be her teacher did her job flawlessly but nothing about what she did was thrilling as I couldn’t tear my eyes away from Hazel, she looked absolutely stunning.I coughed dryly and I signaled for the girl to stop, she’d had enough show time and now I wanted to see what Hazel had learnt and it looked as though she knew what she was doing.I watched as she walked over to me and with a finger placed on my lips so I wouldn’t say anything, her boldness had surely gone over the edge in just hours.She made her way back to her bag as she picked it up and walked to the bathr
Hazel’s POVI heard the slight groan and I saw the way his grip tightened on the glass as my boobs dangled right at his face. I heard him gulp down hard and I could swear I saw the desire in his eyes and the desperation to take me.For a moment, my pussy throbbed and my nipple hardened as they longed for him to put his usual cold fingers on them. How could I still have this lustful desire for someone who’s treated me like crap and is about to be my boss?The sound of his phone ringing jolted the both of us out of our thought, I had no idea what I was doing with his trousers zipper but I allowed whatever part of me was in control to continue being in it.I’d begged for a shot of tequila from Alesha and knowing what I was about to do, she agreed.“How’d you think I did?” I asked the other sexy lady that was supposed to be my teacher, train me and let me know more about the art of stripping.“You were more than a stripper, you were a slut!” She hollered and I had no idea if that was a go
Hazel’s POV“Damian, do you take Hazel to be your wife? Do you promise to be faithful to her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and to honor her all the days of your life?” The priest asked.The hall fell silent as Damian took my hands and stared into my eyes, “I do.” He responded and that answer loosened some kind of knot in my stomach.“Hazel, do you take Damian to be your husband? Do you promise to be faithful to him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love him and to honor him all the days of your life?”“I do.” I replied without hesitation, my eyes fixated on his lips and I just couldn’t wait for the priest to ask him to kiss me.“Now that you both have committed yourselves to your holy union and the sharing of rings, I now pronounce you husband and wife,” The priest affirmed and I could hear Alesha’s loud shriek from the audience.“You may now kiss the bride.” He added and that was just the moment I was waiting for. I closed my e
Hazel’s POVMy heart raced when he popped the question and I just couldn’t get my eyes off the beautiful ring. It’s the exact ring I’ve always wanted except he made sure that it had a Diamond on it.I’ve been waiting for this day for so long and I should’ve known that they were planning something like this because of how sneaky they’ve been for the past weeks.“Incase you haven’t realized,” Damian started as he cleared his throat, jolting me out of my thoughts and daydream.“You haven’t given an answer yet.” He laughed and the rest joined in as I looked at them. I was so happy and whatever I wanted to reply with was stuck in my throat.The butterflies in my stomach had gone berserk and I could hear my heartbeat thumping away as I tried to get the words out of my mouth.“No.” I breathed and the sound of laughter that filled the air suddenly stopped.“No?” Damian asked, looking at me with wide eyes and raised eyebrows. I knew how long it took him to finally muster the courage to do this
Damian’s POV Everything died down and I finally got a hold of all of my properties. Lucas survived the hit but is still in the hospital under custody. I made sure that Theodore went to jail too because if I had to handle things by myself I would’ve killed him.I couldn’t stop thinking about what Callum said about Hazel having a long list of what she wanted her dream wedding to be like and now I want to make sure that it’s exactly the same way.“Callum!” I called and he came walking towards me, he’s been discharged from the hospital and since he knew nothing much about the outside world I decided to give him a little surprise.“Damian and I have something we’d like to share with you.” Hazel started as she turned to look at me and I nodded slightly as I walked towards him and placed my arm around his neck while we both walked out with Asher behind us.“You’ve been talking about your education and since you don’t want to go to a real school we decided to hire a professional teacher for
Hazel’s POV2 MONTHS LATERThe last two months were horrific for all of us, Damian and I at the brink of death. Asher’s kidnap and everything going on. We were lucky to not have had it all get to the press before it got curbed.“I’m glad it’s all over.” I sighed as I laid down beside Damian and placed my head on his chest.He was mad at me for jumping into the scene and it took a lot more than just apologizing to finally get him to stop being mad at me.“Yeah, me too,” he responded, his lips meeting mine as he cuddled me, “what do you say we go to see Callum tomorrow?” He asked and my eyes beamed.Callum is finally recovering and the last time we went to see him the doctor told us that not only has he been responding to treatment, he’s been able to move his hands and legs slowly too.I couldn’t wait to see him, I had no idea how he’s going to react when he sees me for the first time in almost fifteen years.“What do you think?” Damian’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts as I shifted

Let me know by dropping an honest review and also by giving gems as that helps to support me🥺Thank you so much for your love! I love you all🫶❤️
Damian’s POVEverything I tried to stop Hazel from crying proved futile and I knew that Theodore and Lucas just wouldn’t stop at only holding Asher hostage.Given the history between Lucas and Hazel, he might try to come for her too and that was why I’d ordered all of my trusted men to guard the hospital and her room.“We have to find Asher, I made a promise that I intend to fulfil and I will not stop until I have both their heads in my hand.” I said through gritted teeth as I paced around.Isaac had laid down bunches of suggestions but none of them seemed to work for me until my eyes landed on the piece of paper in front of me.“I have a plan.” My voice echoed in the silence as Isaac lifted his gaze to look at me with a raised eyebrow while a slight smirk formed on my face.Theodore won’t be able to resist this.My mother had let it out already that Theodore isn’t my real father and the only reason he agreed to get married to her was because of the mouthwatering benefits it came with
Hazel’s POVDropping Asher off at school, I went over to Alesha’s place so that I could give her an update on what had happened between Damian and I.“I told you you both would work things out.” She shrieked and I could tell that she was really happy for me as she pulled me in a hug. I never thought Gray’s fashion house was this big until I saw Alesha’s working place.She seemed like she was the main brain behind some of the designs and I was extremely happy for her too.“Alesha, we need the designs you’ve prepared so that we can start working on it and are you still down for dinner…”He was still talking, his eyes fixated on his iPad and when he looked up he was shocked to see that Alesha had a visitor.He was handsome, chiseled jaw and dark brown eyes with hairs that stayed just above his eyebrows. Alesha had damn good taste.“I’ll come back later.” He sighed before walking out of her office and I turned to see my best friend's eyes closed. I thought that we were friends but I had
Damian’s POVStaring down at her beautiful body beside me, I couldn’t help but let out a slight smile. I love her so much and ignoring her for those days did more harm to me than I initially thought it would.She’ll always remain the highlight of my life and for as long as I live I knew that I would always love her. The way she slept so peacefully beside me.It was almost as though she trusted me enough to keep her away from whatever danger might be coming her way while she slept.Groaning and stretching, she pulled out her arm and her beautiful face rose before falling right back on my chest.Trying to get my thoughts right, I tried to think of ways that I could get the rest of my properties back from Lucas and my father without putting Hazel or Asher’s life in danger.I knew how much danger they’re in already and causing even more was the last thing I wanted to do.Sighing, my eyes soon felt tired and it didn’t take long for it to close immediately.***The blaring sound of my phone
Hazel’s POV “Damian… please.” I stuttered, my lips quivering as I tried to set myself free. Groaning, I realized that I’ve already been set free from the bondage.My eyes opened slightly and I winced at the effect of how bright my room was. I’d thought that all these while I’ve been in a dream but my half naked body made me realize that it wasn’t a dream.Looking down at myself, I had a new nightgown on and the panty I had on wasn’t the one I had on the previous day. I rubbed my thighs together and I could still feel the moisture.Wincing, I stood from the bed and made my way to the mirror, the hickeys were visible and the beautiful bruises that I usually love on my ass were there except this time I didn’t really like it.The torture last night was so much that I’d passed out. Damian was still mad at me, he still thinks that I didn’t tell him about Lucas because I was trying to keep the truth away from him.Dejected, I made my way out of the room and searched the entire building for
