Damian’s POVI tried to keep my eyes open as the night grew darker, I knew how difficult it was for me to sleep at night but tonight was different.I stroked Hazel’s hair lightly as I planted a kiss on her head and before I knew it. I was in an unfamiliar location, only it wasn’t really unfamiliar.It was where I stayed before, with Mia.Running for my life and breathing so hard, I paused to catch my breath as I placed my palm on my chest. But the thought of the man in a mask and a gun in his hand made me have second thoughts.I kept running as fast as I could and this was unusual, I never would’ve left Mia to deal with the danger alone. But something strange kept happening to me, no matter how hard I tried to run away from the house, I always found myself going back there.I stared at the house for a minute before running into it in fear, I never got scared of people but this man scared the shit out of me.“H.. H… Help me, Damian.” I heard Mia’s voice call and I looked to see her cra
Hazel’s POV Staring at Damian all stained with blood and the way he breathed made me let out a loud gasp the moment I opened my door,I wasn’t expecting to see a sight like that, especially of Damian. He lifted his gaze and his hand followed as if he was trying to tell me something.“He..” he started but he couldn’t complete what he was saying because he passed out. Falling over, I managed to get to him quickly before he got to the ground.God, he’s so heavy.I was still mad at him but nothing else could make me keep being mad at him especially when he looks really injured and vulnerable.I wrapped him around me as I tried to help him get inside but he was too heavy and I had to drag him inside. Breathing heavily, I paused for a moment to catch my breath as I stared at him again.What do I do now?He’s losing a lot of blood and I had no idea what I could do to stop the bleeding. I pulled off his shirt and what I saw was the ugliest thing I’d seen in a while.It was ugly in a really b

Hazel’s POVI took another glance at the laundry I was doing and one more glance at Damian. I’d thought of giving him a hard slap across his face but he was too injured and looked too tired to be able to take anything more brutal.I turned off the washing machine and walked towards him, he pulled me closer to him and his usual tight grip was soft this time even though he’d tried to make it hard.“I feel weak.” He muttered when I tuck him to bed and I only smiled, he looked like a child that needed to be attended to.I turned to leave since I’d done what I felt was right but I felt a pull on my hand that made me stop in my tracks, “stay, please.” He begged and I was shook but not asking him for a reason as to why he wanted me to stay. I sat beside him on the bed.The room was silent for a while and the only thing that could be heard was his slight snore and his moving on the bed.Damian jerked as he desperately searched for me on the bed. I was unable to sleep since he was burning up a
Hazel’s POV.The slamming of the door and the plates that came clattering down made me groan as I tried to open my eyes. The room was unusually bright and when my eyes finally got to adapt to the brightness, I looked to see Damian already frustrated.“How do you do these things?” He asked as he stared at the broken dishes on the floor and the meal he was planning to surprise me with is ruined already.“What were you doing?” I asked, laughing at him as I stood up and he tossed the napkin at me and groaned in frustration as he kicked the chair in the room.“Calm down,” I said as I made my way to him and hugged him, “it’s fine, we can cook together and this time there'll be no broken dishes or anything.” I added and he frowned.“Ha ha. Very funny,” he said as he leaned in to kiss me, “I really wanted to do something nice.” He added and I laughed.“And you will.” I answered as we both bent to pick up the pieces of the broken dish and we both made our way to the kitchen.Damian helped in e
Damian’s POV“Call her a bitch one more time and I will make sure that I sever your tongue right here and right now.” I said as I turned her around to face me properly.I could see the fear in Hazel's eyes but I was more satisfied when I saw the look on the girl's face. I had forgotten her name and couldn’t even remember the moment I had anything to do with her.“Daddy.” She called again as she struggled to remove her hand from my grasp but my hold was too strong for her.“On your knees.” I ordered and without thinking twice or arguing she fell on her knees before me and I took a glance at Hazel to see that the fear on her face had intensified. She probably wasn’t expecting this.“The next fucking time I see you around her talk more of threatening her, you’ll never live one more day to tell the tale of what I would do to you.” I threatened and she shivered.I crouched in front of her and lifted her face with my palm because she dared not look into my eyes. Her eyes were red and she lo
Hazel’s POVDamian had woken up as early as possible and he woke me up too, I had no idea what was going on and whenever I asked, he would tell me it was a surprise.Getting ready, we walked out of the house to see all of my bags packed into the trunk of the car.“This is too much, Babe. What are you doing?” I asked and he shook his head before laying out his hand and one of the men handed him a black blindfold.Damian covered my eyes with the blindfold and as exciting as the whole thing seemed, I was really impatient and wanted to know what was going on but he wouldn’t say until we'd gotten to wherever we were going.The car stopped for a while and I could hear the door open as Damian took my hand and helped me out of the car. We walked for some minutes and all I could hear was hushed talks.“Damian, where are you?” I asked, already getting scared but I soon calmed down when he held my hand and led me somewhere.We climbed what seemed like a staircase and soon I was sitting down.“Ok
Damian’s POVTaking a glance at my cell phone, the smile I had on my face faded as soon as I saw who it was. What does he want and why is he calling me now?“What is it?” I said into the phone as I excused myself and tried not to let Hazel listen to what we were talking about.Why’s my father calling? He never calls and when he does then it means that trouble is looming.“Son,” he replied and I clenched my fist in anger, if he was anywhere here I would’ve pounced on him and pulled his eyes out.“Don’t call me that,” I seethed, “tell me why you’re calling.” I added as I turned to look at Hazel and Elijah, they were getting to know each other and she turned to look at me.She looked worried and I smiled to let her know that I was fine and she doesn’t need to be worried about me.“What is this going around?” My father asked and I already knew what he was about to say, “you got a girl?” He asked and I closed my eyes in frustration.“And how is that any of your business?” I asked and I cou
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

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
