Dunlop West Hazel and I had met so many friends in New York that missed us dearly. The companies owned by me and the ones owned by my family all needed my attention Hazel and I had agreed to move back to New York and we told the whole family the decision and everyone was elated including Charisa Charisa was planning on moving to New York because of Lily and an undercover spy job she had gotten with the FBI. She was so delighted when she heard we were planning on moving tooBut first, we had to settle all the businesses in Arizona and withdraw the kids from their school stating reasons for their withdrawal. We had to pack our things from the our houses at Arizona and try to auction the houses off Hazel, I and the kids all agreed to leave today so that we'd be back in a week's time. We didn't pack too much since we were coming back to New York“And that should be all” Hazel said, packing the last of the things she wanted to carry in a small bag I held my bag up “ I'm done too”“I
Dunlop WestI stepped outside and got into the car with Hazel and the kids“What took you so long?” Hazel asked “I just had to discuss somethings with Mirinda” I smiled and held her hands The driver got in the car and started driving heading to the airport. My mind was still heavy from what my mother had just told me Hazel and the kids talked and chatted, trying to involve me in their conversation but I just smiled and nodded without hearing a thing they said I looked at the window, what if having the same birthmark as me what just a coincidence and I was just doubting Hazel for no reason “Hey” Hazel squeezed my palm “you seem distant, are you okay?”I gave her a light smile and nodded “yeah I'm fine”“That's not true. Something's bothering you” she easily saw through me I looked at the window again not responding to her. She wrapped her hands around me and pulled me in for a hug“Whatever it is, it'll be fine because I love you” she whispered We stayed that way silently till w
Hazel WestI was shocked that Dunlop still brought up the topic of Zion's paternity after I had covered my tracks perfectly. I regretted lying to him but I had to, I couldn't tell him that he was Zion's biological dad just yet. I needed to make sure he was going to be stable and be in our lives for a long time..As I watched him from the kitchen I still felt guilty for lying to him. I will tell him soon, I just had to make sure he was stable in our lives I heard Dunlop yell the name Camilla from the kitchen and my heart beat increased rapidly I rushed to the front door and my biggest nightmare had come true. Camilla infront of the house, standing in the doorway “Hello Dunlop” she greeted, her voice dripping with disdain as she looked at him She shoved him and found her way inside still as cocky as ever“Hello other woman” she said to me and Dunlop quickly came to my defence “She's not the other woman, we're back together. You were always the other woman and will continue to remai
Hazel West There was still tension in the house even though we tried to act like everything was alright, deep down I knew everything wasn't William and Zion were completely oblivious to what happened few days ago. They jumped everywhere with smiles, unaware of the looming danger Dunlop had been so busy arranging the best lawyers to take on the case. It was obvious we weren't going to make it back to New York in seven days I prepared dinner and everyone gathered at the table to eat and for once we decided to put away our worries and just enjoy our dinner until the doorbell rang “I'll get it” Dunlop said standing up and heading to the door He opened the door and Charisa walked. William quickly stood up, clearly stunned “Mother” he called out and quickly ran to hide behind me “Oh my baby” she said and tried to come forward to touch him and put my hand in-between she and William “Camilla we got your court notice. What else could possibly bring you here again? It's starti
Dunlop West It had been three weeks since Camilla first came to the house to personally hand us the court notice to sue for custody.We were supposed to be in court next week I had been juggling arranging the best lawyers and trying to make sure BLC could still do well when I finally moved to New York with Hazel and the kids Hazel had gone out to do the same, finding the appropriate manager to hand over her duties to until Jacob got back.It was just I and the kids at home My phone vibrated on my table while I was working on my laptop. I picked it up to see who was calling and it was an unknown number I answered the call and put it to my ear.“Dunlop West here, how can I help you?” I said “Hello, Dunlop,” the voice said smoothly. “I assume you know who it is”The voice on the other end of the line was one I recognized immediately. It was cold, calculated—almost too calm, considering everything that had happened. I stiffened in my seat, my grip tightening around the phone. “Cami
Hazel West I was finally done with Jay's corporation. I made sure that they would no longer need my services and I handed over my duties to a manager that I was sure Jacob trusted. I called Jacob and informed him about my resignation and the change in roles He didn't argue he just accepted it that way and I quickly hung up before he could start gaslighting me I had two missed calls from Dunlop and I called back but I got no response. I would just see him at home anyways I got in the car and drove back home, the whole William custody case still playing in my headThe first hearing was next week and I was nervous I arrived back home and walked in. I saw two empty glasses on the side stools. Did Dunlop have a guest?I shrugged and headed upstairs to see him. I called his name severally but I got no response. I got to our room and I pushed open the door and walked in I walked in to see the greatest shock of my life. Dunlop and Camilla were completely naked on the bed and Dunlop was
Dunlop West I woke up later in the evening and found myself naked on my bedMy clothes were scattered on the floor. The last thing I remembered was that Camilla drugged me and somehow followed me into my room before I passed out Did she steal from me or did she try to rape me?William!!!!!I put on a robe and rushed to William's room and he wasn't there neither was Zion Oh God had she taken them both?I rushed back into my room to call the cops but I noticed that Hazel's things were gone tooWas this another kidnap?I dialed Hazel's number but her number wasn't going through I immediately called Camilla and she picked up almost immediately “Where are the children?” I asked immediately “What children? I think you should ask Hazel that. She was kind of in a foul mood when she walked in on us cuddling after we had sex” Camilla said I widened my eyes in shock “What in hell are you talking about?” I asked her completely infuriated “we never had sex and you know that. You fucking dr
Dunlop West I left the house with tears in my eyes and fallen shoulders. I couldn't bear to look at kids disappointed faces as I left the houseI drove back to my house and drowned myself in alcohol. 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? The woman I divorced Hazel for when I was completely out of my mind, William's mother. I told y
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
Dunlop West It had been over a month since we left Arizona and relocated to New York fully. Camilla had signed the contract and we had given her a small sum. She was finally out of our lives for good and she was never coming back.The kids were schooling here in New York and enjoying their time here. Hazel had started her own company and was now a CEO of her own Charisa had been promoted from secret spy/ stunt double to supervisory special agent and she and Lily were now engaged Everything was going smoothly The house was buzzing with activity. It was Hazel's birthday, and everyone was chipping in to make it special. Charisa and Lily were in the kitchen, coordinating the catering and preparing a feast. Zion and William were hanging streamers and balloons, their faces flushed with excitement. I was in the living room, arranging flowers and setting up a small stage for a surprise performance later in the evening.Miranda was in charge of the cake, which she was decorating with int
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
Hazel West I kept turning in my bed. I couldn't sleep, Dunlop and Camilla naked together kept flashing across my mind. I sat up on my bed and held my head in my arms. 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
