Damian’s POVThings have been going on great between Hazel and I and for a moment I wished it keeps going on this way. Dismissing Isaac and Lyla, I made my way to our room and my mind couldn’t help but drift to the statement I’d made earlier.I wanted a baby but I was still unsure if I would be able to take good care of her or my child. She looked shocked when I said that and I knew she wasn’t expecting a statement like that from me because she brushed it off like I was making a joke.Bringing her and an innocent child into this world of mine might only cause them so much harm and as much as I try not to think about it in that manner, I couldn’t help but think about my father hunting her down.He’d made a vow with Lucas to make me regret ever falling in love with her and I really do not want what had happened to Mia happening to her.Even if that’s what I’ll do till I draw my last breath, I will protect her.Walking into the room, Hazel turned and she had a surprised look on her face
Damian’s POVI tried to place where I’ve seen her before but I got nothing. She looked awfully familiar but I still had no idea where I knew her from.I knew it couldn’t possibly be one of my subs, I paid them off already and they all knew better than to show up unannounced in my house.“Take one more step and you really don’t want to know what might happen to you.” I growled when she walked towards me.She stopped when I spoke and I could see the fear boldly written all over her face as she clutched her purse tightly.“Now tell me, who the fuck are you?” I asked and she sighed before bracing herself to answer me.“It’s me…” she was still talking when I made my hand into a fist as I turned to look up the stairs. She was really lucky that Hazel was around or she would have had no tongue to speak.“Lillian.” She answered and even the name rang no bell.“And what the fuck are you doing here?” I asked, I tried so hard to be civilized and gentle with her. Anything for Hazel not to witness
Hazel’s POVI opened my eyes to see some people hovering over me, I had no idea how I got there but the last thing I remembered was the lady breaking the news of her being pregnant with Damian’s baby.She’s pregnant, she’s carrying Damian’s child.Looking around, my head was pounding as I tried to register the faces of everyone in the room.“She’s really stressed and she needs to stop doing anything that might get her worked up because from the tests carried out, we found out that…”“Where am I?” I asked, making sure I was loud enough that they all turned to look at me. Of course I knew where I was and I also knew the news the doctor was about to break to Damian and I couldn’t possibly allow that.I looked to see Damian’s face filled with relief and when he moved his hand to take mine in his, I moved my hand away from him.“Don’t touch me.” I groaned as I tried to sit up, I’d wanted to remove the drip when the doctor and Damian stopped me.“You can’t do this now, you need it and you a
Hazel’s POVPicking up my phone, I sniffed and dried up my tears as I called Alesha. I needed my best friend and I also need to tell her about how the chance that I’d decided to give Damian backfired on me.She picked up on the fourth ring and it sounded as though she was busy with something, “Hey girl, can I call you back?” She said but I didn’t say a word and hung up.My phone rang almost immediately I ended the call and I looked to see Alesha’s name boldly written on it. She knew when things weren't going right with me.“Hazel? Are you okay?” She asked and that was the question that made me burst into uncontrollable tears.All of Alesha’s effort to get me to stop crying proved futile until she asked me to cry all I needed to.“He got someone else Pregnant.” I announced, my voice shaky and my lips quivering as the gushing memories of the girl announcing her pregnancy hit me again.“He got someone else pregnant, Alesha.” I repeated like she didn’t hear me the first time.“How? When
Hazel’s POV“I don’t know why I still feel like you’re brashly making a decision that you don’t want to make,” Alesha started as she pulled away from me and I shot her a glare.“What the hell do you mean brashly making a decision? We’ve been through this Alesha, another woman came to the house with news of his baby!” I said, almost yelling.My heartbeat was getting faster than I intended it to be. I knew Alesha had grown to have a soft spot for Damian, hell, she had it even before Damian and I became a thing.But, asking me to stay in a situation I would never be comfortable in was something I wasn’t expecting from her.“What if she was lying, what if someone paid her to do this, just what if…” I knew what she was doing. She was trying to get me to give Damian another chance.I was done offering a second chance to him and I knew deep down that I’ve made up my mind to go somewhere far away from him.He can have the perfect little life he pictured with me with someone else, as long as I
Damian’s POV It was hard to believe that everything I’d thought would work out perfectly well came crashing down. I’d even tried to act like I wasn’t affected but I loved her.I love her so much and everyone around me could see that.Slamming the wine cup with me against the wall, I turned to look at Issac who only had a pitiful look on his face. I was more miserable than even I imagined myself to be.My world revolves around her and living without her was something I haven’t mentally or physically prepared myself for.I wanted her back. Picking up the staff I’d dropped on the floor earlier on, I started hitting it on all of the glass around me before Isaac stopped me.“Damian!” He yelled and I dropped the staff again as I paced about the room that was already covered with broken glasses all over the floor.“You’re going crazy!” He pointed out like I didn’t already know that. I turned to look at him for a while before walking to stand in front of him.I placed my hands on both sides
Hazel’s POVMy heart is broken and for days I’d thought I was going to die especially after fainting constantly. I was grateful to have Alesha with me through it all but there’s only little she can do to help.“Hazel?” Alesha called as she knocked on the door while I snuggled under my bed sheets. I didn’t want to go outside.Leaving my room is another hardest thing for me to do, I just wanted to stay indoors and enjoy the peace of being alone. I needed time to wallow in my heartbreak.“How long are you going to keep yourself locked up in the room for?” She asked with a sigh and I only rolled my eyes as I sniffed.“You barely ate anything, Hazel please, you’re only hurting yourself even more and if you don’t care about yourself or anyone else at least take a moment to think about the baby.” She added.She was right, I’m not alone anymore and if I kept on starving myself I would be starving the baby too.Getting out of bed, I groaned when I had to stand and each step I took towards the
Hazel’s POV After 6 hours of being in the plane. I thought I was going to pass out just before the captain announced our arrival and I couldn’t be any more grateful.I got out of the plane and it was late already, I looked around and found the perfect hotel to spend the night. I checked in and it wasn’t as expensive as I thought it was going to be.Tired, I went to bed to rest. I was going to see my doctor first thing tomorrow morning.The name was confusing and I had no idea what their gender is but I shrugged it off as I laid back on my bed and covered myself up with the sheet.The blaring sound of my bedside alarm jolted me out of my deep sleep. The bed was so comfortable and I had no idea I’d slept for so long until my alarm went off.Walking to the bathroom, I got ready for my appointment as I rummaged through my bag to find the little diary I usually hold.Holding it with me, I boarded a taxi to the hospital the doctor back at home had described to me, it was the biggest and th
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
