Hazel West

It was finally the day that I had to turn in all evidence I had against the governor to him

I had gathered all the paperwork and the USB drive. There was absolutely nothing I could do. I noticed his men following me everywhere I went. He kept tabs on all my calls and monitored me even in my house

I just really hoped he kept to his word and returned the kids and Lucas

“Grayson, I've got the evidence where should I meet you up” I asked after he picked up from the private number he gave me to call

“Very good Miss West. I'm glad you are cooperating. I can assure you your people will get back to you safely” he said calmly

“5th Street on the lonely highway. Just stand in the middle of the road and drop all the floor, someone will come pick it up, then we'll communicate where you can find your people” Grayson’s voice returned, cold and menacing. "And Hazel? Don’t try anything stupid. Remember, we’re watching you."

“Grayson, how about we strike another deal to make sure Lucas a

    Hazel West “Park here” I instructed Dunlop who was sweating because of how fast he drove We stepped out of the car and walked into a nearby restaurant. I have only minutes before Grayson's men realize the trick we played on them “Will you tell me what is going on now?” Dunlop asked breathing heavily “Ok, promise me you won't freak out” “Hazel” Dunlop called out impatiently“Okay, okay I'll tell you”“Remember the investigation we're carrying out on Grayson Axel, the governor”“Of course I do. What about it?”“Remember the whistleblower that gave us the flash drive that had most of the governor's bad records on it”“Yeah I remember the whistleblower. He didn't tell us his name though. Where are you going with all this”“Ok so, Grayson found the whistleblower and it directly led to me. He visited me at home and tied me up. He even shot the whistle blower in front of me. He kidnapped Lucas and the kids and he is possibly going to kill them if I don't hand over the evidence. Here's t

    Hazel WestThe first phase of the plan was done, we just had to find where Grayson was hiding Lucas and the kids. We couldn't trace his location because he used a ghost phone“Is it done?” Dunlop askedWe were in a secluded part of BLC, Grayson wouldn't be able to track us down here. Even I didn't know of this place till now“Check it out” I sniffed, still feeling the impact from when Grayson shot Lucas .Dunlop looked at the decoy drive. It was set to encrypt after the first view. That meant immediately Grayson viewed it once, the drive would automatically lock itself making it completely useless to him.“Damn, this is so good. Where did you learn this level of encryption” Dunlop asked, clearly amazed by my skillsI smiled sadly and he saw that I was still disturbed by the recent call of GraysonFor the first time in a while, his touch didn't irritate or disgust me. He raised my chin so I could meet his gaze. I couldn't hold back anymoreI just let the tears drop and he pulled me in f

    Hazel West“Hazel, you never learn. I must say” Grayson said and my heart beat rose over the top. Did he find out that I involved the FBI?“Why is your phone untraceable and why did I see some men walk into BLC with luggages?”“I honestly didn't do anything” I said, tears dropping firm my eyes “I don't know why my phone is untraceable and those men are out investors that came for a meeting” I liedI looked at Alejandro and he signalled me to keep going“What were in those bags then?”“They were just set up items for the seminar that they were going to give” I sniffed trying to sound believable“Keep going. We're almost there” Alejandro whispered“Nothing is wrong Grayson. I wouldn't risk the lives of my kids in such a way. I'm leaving the office right now. I'm coming over to the lonely highway right now with the evidence you asked for. Please don't harm my kids” I tried to keep him on the line“Please, Grayson, I’m begging you,” I said, my voice trembling.“You should have thought abou

You've got this” Oliver told me“We’re going to get them back, okay?” Dunlop gripped my handI turned to open the door but before I did, Dunlop dragged me back and pulled me in for a hug“Whatever you do, don't die” he whispered in my ears and felt something liquid drop on my backWas he crying?“We're running behind guys. Hazel needs to start moving” Oliver reminded usI wiggled my way out of Dunlop's arms and he was actually crying. What was this about? Last time I checked he divorced me and threw me out of his house so what was this display for?I didn't put much thought into it.

Let’s just smash and take her back,” Lorenzo cut in.“How’s she movin’ like that, chatting to us like she’s got any say?” The other one snapped, lifting his hand to slap me.

I had to make a move.“Y’all look.

    Hazel WestI stayed hidden on the sixth floor trying to get Lucas to notice me without alerting the men. How should I get him to see me?The sun's ray was directly shining at the spot I was hiding. I raised my eyebrows in delight when I an idea on how to get Lucas' attention popped in my headI placed my watch directly under the sun's ray and positioned the reflection so that it rested on his face. Lucas lifted his head up and looked in the direction of the rayHis eyes lit up when he saw me and his lips curved into a smile.“Make sure to tell him to remain calm and not make any noise” Oliver instructed meI lifted my index finger to my lips making a ‘hush’ signal to himI mouthed to him ‘distract the men’ and he nodded“Uhm, hello. Can I get some water? I think I might die of thirst” he asked the men“That ain't my problem fam” one of the men answered“Bruv, the boss said we gotta keep him alive. So he can finish him off in front of that Hazel gal when she shows up. We need to get him

    Hazel West“Oliver, I found the kids. But I don't think I'd be able to get through one of Grayson thugs without raising an alarm“You are on the weapons floor right?” He asked“Yes”“Great. Move into one of the rooms there and pickup a small portable gun that isn't too heavy”“I thought you said I didn't know how to shoot so I shouldn't use a gun”“He doesn't know you don't know how to shoot. Just get the gun, walk in and point it at him. Tie him up and gag him and wait for my command”“Okay”I walked back to the room where I saw the gums earlier and scanned through them. I tried to grab one but it was too heavy for me so I kept looking till I found one that was just the perfect weightI took it and headed straight for the room and walked in“Mummy” William and Zion yelled on top of their lungs but I couldn't get distracted now. I had to take care of this man“Shush”I pointed the gun straight at his head“Just one move from you and I fire” I told him looking him dead in his eyes“Got

Do you copy?” He asked“I can hear you loud and clear” Dunlop answered. His voice was coated with excitement, nervousness and worry all at once“I'm here Oliver” Tyson replied“Just spoke to Brian, Grayson is in the building with Charisa. You'll have to navigate your way around and find Hazel. She'll know where the others are”“Got it. Does he have to come with me though?” Tyson asked looking at the sweaty Dunlop“Hazel is his girlfriend… ahhh wife, whatever.

    Hazel WestThe ballroom was alive with excitement, laughter echoing off the walls, and glasses clinking in celebration. I stood near the entrance, taking in the sea of familiar faces, all dressed in their finest and gathered to celebrate with us. I still couldn’t fully believe it—our wedding day, the day I officially became Mrs. West.Across the room, Dunlop caught my eye. He looked striking in his tuxedo, his hair perfectly styled, and that familiar, irresistible smile tugging at his lips. My heart did a little dance just watching him. After everything—the arguments, the breakups, the makeups, and every crazy turn in between—it all led us here. He was laughing with a group of friends, but his eyes kept drifting back to me, a soft look of reassurance and love in his gaze, like he was still making sure I was really there, that this was really happening.A waiter passed by, balancing a tray of champagne, and I grabbed a glass, taking a sip to steady my nerves. It was such a strange but

    Hazel West I had moved back in with Dunlop and the kids joy knew no bounds “Hey boy” I called out to William and Zion. It was time tell Zion that Dunlop was his real father and Dunlop was nervous and elated all at the same time I could feel the tension in the air as we gathered in the living room. Dunlop paced back and forth, his hands running through his hair, while I tried to stay calm, sitting on the couch with William and Zion beside me. Both boys were excited, oblivious to the weight of the moment. “Mom, what’s going on?” Zion asked, looking up at me with those wide, curious eyes that always made my heart melt. “Yeah, what’s the big surprise?” William chimed in, bouncing on the balls of his feet, unable to contain his energy. I took a deep breath, reaching for Zion’s hand, and Dunlop finally stopped pacing, coming to stand in front of us. He knelt down, so he was at eye level with the boys, his expression softening as he looked at Zion. “There’s something important we n

    He followed me seconds later, his body shuddering as he came, collapsing on top of me, both of us panting, drenched in sweat and rainwater. For a long moment, we just lay there, tangled in each other, the sound of our breathing the only thing breaking the silence. Finally, he rolled off me, pulling me into his arms, holding me close. “I’m so sorry, Hazel,” he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. “I didn't know Camilla was going to try to drug me, I would have been more cautious. I'm sorry you had to see us like that” I rested my head on his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart, the sound soothing, comforting. “I know,” I whispered back. “We’ll face everything together, Dunlop. No more running away.” “What suddenly changed your mind? You were so mad at me before and now you believe me? What happened” he asked running his hands in my hair I pulled away from him and looked at him “Your mother called and she advised me to put my emotions away and think clearly. And s

    Hazel West “Hazel wait”Dunlop yelled under the rain “Please don't go. I can explain everything” I ran over to him and jumped on him, engulfing him in a hug. I could sense his confusion as he wrapped his hands around me. “You don't have to explain anything, I believe you” I whispered still hugging him “You do?” He asked in shock as he dropped me “I do” I said holding his face “I'm so sorry I didn't believe you at first, I'm sorry I left you all by yourself” I leaned in and kissed him and his hands wrapped around my waist as he kissed me back I held his hand and we ran back inside. We headed up to my room and I barely managed to close the door before Dunlop’s lips crashed into mine. The rain had soaked us through, our clothes were clinging to our bodies, but all I could feel was the heat radiating between us, the cold completely forgotten. Dunlop’s hands trembled as he held my face, pulling back just enough to look into my eyes. “Hazel, I’ve missed you so much. I thou

How could Dunlop do this to me after all the promises we made to each other?I still loved Dunlop and it was so foolish of me. I picked up my phone and scrolled through pictures of us and tears formed in my eyes Why did he even come here? What was he trying to explain? I saw them naked together Camilla words kept ringing in my head ‘He'll always come back to me’“Mummy, we called grandma to talk to her on our tablet and now she wants to talk to you” William said peeping through the slight gap in my door “I don't want to talk to anyone. Maybe later” I sniffed “Hazel, I'm not asking if I can talk to you, I'm telling you that I need to talk to you” I heard Mirinda say from William's tablet. She was placed on speakerphone I walked over to William and took the tablet from him before he went to his room “Hi Mirinda” I

I had Hazel and just like that I had lost her and my sons How do I prove to her that I had no idea what was going on and I was drugged? How do I explain to her that this was all part of Camila's plan to break us apart and it was working I took out my phone and quickly called Charisa. It rand a couple of times before she picked up “Hey Dunlop, what's up” her cheerful voice came up on the phone “Charisa, I lost Hazel and the kids and I just found out that Zion is actually mine” muttered“Wait, wait, wait. Slow down. What do you mean you lost Hazel? Is she missing? And how do you know Zion is yours?” She asked“Charisa it's all a mess” I said taking another glass of alcohol “Remember Camilla?
