Hi, everyone. 

Thanks for reading this book and for your comments. 

This is not an update, but just to let you know that I'm sorry for not updating this book and for my constant slow updates. 

I have an exam to write on February 9, so I've been studying for it and was also kinda sick; that explains why I haven't been consistent with updating this book. Though I'm almost completely fine now, I'm still studying. 

After February 9, I might take a day or two days break to clear my head off any stress, then will be fully back to writing, and I'll try my absolute best to be consistent with the update. 

I might be able to update a chapter before February 9, but if I can't, I hope you understand why. 

Thanks a lot for your comments. They mean a lot to me. 

Love y'all šŸ„°

    Pacing around the room, I stopped to stare at Hazel on the bed, praying for her to open her eyes.There was a knock on the door then Kye and Charlotte started walking in, though I didn’t remember telling them to do so.Charlotte had a small basket in her hand which she dropped on the nightstand beside Hazel.“Hey, dude.” Kye said as he stopped beside me while Charlotte sat beside Hazel.“She still isn’t awake?” Charlotte asked rhetorically, staring at Hazel in worry; she started taking out plates from the basket.“Exactly!” I exclaimed. “And Nora has given her the last dose of the antidote, with full assurance that she was going to wake up soon. I’m really over-stressed, I haven’t had proper sleep, and—”“You really need to get a good rest.&

    I was glued to my bed, carefully watching Tristan as he walked around preparing for work.I was finally feeling it around me that it had been a while since I had been awake, so watching Tristan walk around shirtless, showing off his body I considered well-defined, with his strong biceps flexing as he moved them around, felt so great; his body made me feel like drooling, and it caused an uncomfortable tingliness in my entire body, and the fact that he wasn’t paying attention to me was worsening it.He picked up his phone to make a call as he brushed his hair and slipped out a shirt and singlet from the wardrobe.“Of course, I’ll definitely be there today. Try to re-book my appointments with as many of them as possible, and try your best to balance my schedule for this week with the last two weeks'.” He said into the phone, then sighed. “I know, I know.

    ~ HAZEL ~Ā ā€œYes, Mrs. Anderson.ā€ I smiled at her as Sherri handed over a mug of coffee to her as she had requested.Ā Ā ā€œI was wondering why you werenā€™t at work, and why you werenā€™t answering your phone calls. Iā€™d have come earlier, but it was so hard for me to find your home address.ā€ She said with a smile she never displayed to me before my marriage, not stopping herself from staring around the house.Ā Ā ā€œReally? I thought I already submitted it. Iā€™m so sorry for not calling to let you know after waking up.ā€ I apologized sheepishly.Ā Ā ā€œOh, itā€™s nothing.ā€ She waved a hand over her face with a grin, taking a sip from the coffee. ā€œYour house is really beautiful.ā€Ā Ā ā€œThank you.ā€ I stared at Tristan who was staggering down the stairs in his shorts and a large robe that didnā€™t do anything in hiding his bare chest. He looked tired, which was totally understandable, judging from how he had been wor

And why do you seem so scared to see her again?ā€ He was starting to frown really hard.ā€œUhā€¦ sheā€™sā€¦ā€ I was trying to think of the perfect way to describe Tiffany, but nothing sensible could fit. ā€œTristan, please forget it.ā€ā€œForget it?!ā€ He snapped, jerking to his feet and lettin

    ā€œTristan,ā€ I sighed and hunched over, staring at my toes. I was confused; different thoughts were running through my head. Could Tristan possibly find anything about me before being the me I am right now?Ā ā€œYou still donā€™t have anything to say, right?ā€ Tristan still sounded really pissed off.Ā Ā ā€œTristan, you donā€™t understand,ā€ I said in almost a whisper.Ā Ā ā€œThen make me understand!ā€Ā I shut my eyes as tears resumed rolling down my cheeks.Ā Ā ā€œGosh, Hazel.ā€ He groaned before rising to his feet.Ā Ā ā€œTristan, please.ā€ I raised my head to him.Ā Ā His eyes softened, obviously because he noticed the tears in my eyes. ā€œWhatā€™s the point of these tears? Whatā€™s keeping you from speaking? What is wrong? What are you hiding?ā€Ā Ā I tried to at least say something, but more tears stopped me from uttering anything.Ā Ā ā€œExcuse me?ā€ We

It soon felt as though my head had been hit with a large block, but it was only a headache.Ā Ā ā€œShit,ā€ I held the side of my head, groaning. ā€œWhy did I have to drink so much?ā€Ā Ā ā€œExactly! You threw up in my car.ā€ Tristanā€™s voice made me snap awake completely.Ā I jerked to sit up straight, staring at him like he was a burglar trying to steal my bra or something. When did he get here? How did I arrive home last night?Ā ā€œWhatā€™s wrong with you?ā€ He asked, holding back a smile.Ā Ā ā€œWhyā€¦ youā€¦ arenā€™tā€¦ I thoughtā€¦ what hapā€”ā€Ā Ā ā€œJeez, calm down.ā€ He placed his laptop on the nightstand and shifted closer to me. ā€What?

    ā€œOhā€¦ whatā€™s that? Is there a toy model of my husband or something?ā€ I quirked an eyebrow at her, hoping to convey the message that she wasnā€™t making any sense.Ā Ā ā€œNo, Hazel.ā€ She replied through gritted teeth. ā€œI want Tristan back. Donā€™t you remember he was mine before I decided to give him to you?ā€Ā Ā ā€œIs this Tristan you speak of an object? I can help you search for a tristan.ā€Ā ā€œThis isnā€™t funny at all.

I donā€™t know what youā€™ll do or how you'll do it, but you have to return what's mine back to me.ā€Ā I paused, peering into her sky blue eyes for a while, before throwing my head back to laugh uncontrollably.Ā Ā ā€œIā€™m being dead serious here. Nothing is funny at all.ā€ She clenched her fists, not bothering to hide her frustration.Ā Ā I just couldn't stop myself from laughing; tears started rolling down

    Her words felt like a hammer struck my heart. ā€œAre you crazy?ā€ I couldnā€™t believe I was saying that to her.ā€œThis is not about being crazy. Itā€™s whatā€™s needed. Iā€™ve thought about it long and hard, and the only conclusion is that itā€™ll be selfish of me to stay with you, knowing whatā€™s to come.ā€ Tears started streaming down her face.ā€œWeā€™ll face it together. Thatā€™s the point of marriage. Together, in good and bad times. Our marriage vows were not for the sake of showoff.ā€ā€œThatā€™s clichĆ©.ā€ She sniffled. ā€œTristan, please, weā€™re not characters in a movie or a book. This is not a matter of whether we can fight this together. Itā€™s reality, and we need to face it. Iā€™m heading for destruction, thatā€™s for sure, but Iā€™m not pulling you down with me.ā€ She held my hands. ā€œI love you so much, and this is the best choice.ā€ The pang in my heart was starting to feel like a burning sensation, irritated that she could think of such.I yanked my hands from her grip, rising to my feet. ā€œStop with this ā€˜Iā€™

    ~ TRISTAN ~ ā€œY-yes. Indy pushed me!ā€ Her eyes widened.Kye held her hands, his face turning red. ā€œWhat do you mean? How did that happen? She was in our home?ā€™ā€œYes, Kye.ā€ā€œHow?ā€ I wondered, a frown forming on my face.ā€œIā€¦ I had seen her at the mall a week before she pushed me: she was on the phone and looked so mad, then I got curious and followed her.ā€ā€œWhy would you do that?ā€ I scolded.ā€œIā€™m sorry. I--I was curiousā€¦. She was acting very suspicious. I just wanted to know what was wrong with someone that used to be a friend!ā€ she cried. ā€œI found myself following her to a building where she met a man and he yelled at her for killing someone! She admitted it and just claimed the person was bothering her.ā€ā€œIndy killed someone?ā€ my voice was low, almost a whisper. I knew Indy was crazy, but had she gotten that bad?ā€œYes. I was equally shocked. When I decided to run, she saw me and tried to chase me. I ran away and she lost me. I assumed she didnā€™t see my face and wouldnā€™t know it was me

    I watched his brows fuse together as a tight line formed on his forehead. ā€œWhat is that supposed to mean?ā€ His hands fell from mine. Oh no, he was judging me. Yet, a strong urge to let it all out overwhelmed me. I would rather he knew the truth and hated me, than continue to lie to his face all because I was being greedy for his love. ā€œAfter my dad left me at this manā€™s hands, the man maltreatment and abused me. One day, I had tried to escape, and accidentally shot his dearest bodyguard. Due to that, he--he tied me to a chair and had set a ring of fire around me.ā€ The memory struck me again. I shut my eyes tightly, shaking my head. No, I had to tell him everything. I had to let go of the trauma. ā€œI wasā€¦ā€ my words got caught up in my throat. ā€œā€¦burning. I watched the fire grow closer to me and I couldnā€™t do anything about it. It hurt so badly. It felt like hell. Every day, I feel the heat. It choked me; I suffocated. And watched my life flash before my eyes.ā€œRight after that, he p

    Heavily thrusting my fists against the door, I muttered cuss words, also convincing myself that I wasnā€™t here because I was scared; I was here to give them a piece of my mind and get this over with immediately.The moment a click vibrated from the other end of the door, my heart began throbbing harshly and my breath became unstable. The door flung open and Aunt Mandyā€™s unpleasant figure stood there, a cigarette dangling from her lips.She scanned me from head to toe, a smirk on her lips. ā€œI knew youā€™d show up.ā€ She chortled. Nodding her head inwards, she pulled the door open wider.I walked in, feigning a confident look despite my heart racing as wild as ever. On the living room couch, Giovanni sat there, gulping down a beer. The living room was filled with nasty trash and the smell made my eyebrows scrunch up.ā€œLook whoā€™s here,ā€ Giovanni smirked, rising to his feet.He towered over me; he had very bulky muscles that made him too intimidating despite his old age. I had to lift my head

    ~ HAZEL ~ ā€œHazel,ā€ Tristan called, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind and placed a kiss on the crook of my neck. His action made my giggle, a blush quickly forming on my face. ā€œI thought you already left for work.ā€ I beamed. ā€œNo. I was at the home office. I havenā€™t since you today and itā€™s been making me feel so incomplete. I also thought you had gone to the restaurant. I canā€™t believe youā€™re still here.ā€ He planted another kiss on my cheek. ā€œI missed your presence.ā€ ā€œMe too.ā€ I turned to him. ā€œHowever, I have to go to the restaurant.ā€ ā€œCanā€™t that wait till tomorrow? Itā€™s past noon already.ā€ ā€œNo, it canā€™t.ā€ I wiggled out of his grip, grabbed my bag from the chair and kept my recipe book in it. ā€œWhy not?ā€ ā€œI didnā€™t intend to go today, but Iā€™m meeting up with a new business woman for the hotel. She said she spoke to you first?ā€ ā€œOh. Mrs. Shine? So, itā€™s today? Dang it.ā€ he moaned in complaint, standing behind me again. ā€œIā€™ll miss you.ā€ His tone was low, expre

    ~ TRISTAN ~ā€œSir, your sister wouldnā€™t stop calling you.ā€ Rob whispered to me. She knows I have a meeting. Why would Nikita think itā€™s sensible to demand for something at such a time? She could be unreasonable sometimes. ā€œIgnore it.ā€ I continued with the meeting, the endless buzzing of my phone with Rob pissed me off. What the heck was her problem?It wasnā€™t my turn to speak, so I wanted to end the call and place the phone on airplane mode when I accidentally answered it. ā€œTristan!ā€ Her voice immediately set an alarm in me. ā€œWhat's wrong?ā€ I asked. ā€œItā€™s Hazel. I don't know what's wrong with her, but it seems like sheā€™sā€¦ dead.ā€ ā€œDead?!ā€ I jumped to my feet. ā€œShe had an attack and now she has pierced herself with broken glasses.ā€ā€œWhat on Earth?! Why are you calling me? Call the ambulance! I'll meet you both at the hospital.ā€ā€œMr. Hendrix, this interruption is very rude.ā€ I ignored Mr. Rajeed and dashed out of the meeting room.

    ~ HAZEL ~ā€œWhere are you going?ā€ Nikita asked, placing her legs over the arm of the couch with the television remote on her tummy. ā€œI'll go to the hospital to check up on Charlotte, then Iā€™ll head to the restaurant. Why?ā€ā€œNothing. I was just wonderingā€¦ā€ she shrugged, ā€œwill you be free later tonight? Thereā€™s this awesome movie I need to watch. I need to watch it with a female, and all of my friends donā€™t live in this city. We can spend girl time together; there are a lot more things I still have to tell you about those boys.ā€ā€œSure, no problem.ā€ I smiled, turning around. ā€œItā€™s weird that I'm asking you to spend time with me, right?ā€ She asked. ā€œYes, definitely.ā€ I turned to her with a smirk. ā€œBut you're turning out to be a good girl sooner than I thought.ā€She playfully rolled her eyes. ā€œItā€™s definitely because Iā€™m bored.ā€ā€œOr because Iā€™m too sweet to be hated forever?ā€ā€œPlease stop.ā€I chuckled and she joined me. ā€œJust donā€™t be late.

    Her words made my blood boil in intense fury and I felt like my head was going to explode. ā€œThis is the madness youā€™ve been planning all along, right? We were never intimate. Thereā€™s no fucking way I am the father of the child youā€™re carrying. Iā€™ve not been serious about it, but I swear you need mental help, immediately.ā€ā€œDonā€™t be silly, sweetheart. Youā€™re probably getting old and losing your memory, but I remember every single detail of our intense night. If it isnā€™t real, then how do I possibly remember how hard that beautiful baby, that huge fucking cock, is? How it went deep down my throat and inside of me.ā€ Indy bit her lower lip again, staring down below my belt like my member was a piece of cake she wanted to eat. ā€œHow do I possibly remember how your hands trailed down every inch of my body, leaving hickeys on me?ā€ She shut her eyes with a moan. ā€œGosh, I can't wait to relive that night over and over again. ā€œYouā€™re foolish.ā€ I couldn't take her insanity anymore.

    ā€œWhat the heck do you mean?ā€ I wanted to check it out for myself but Tristan held my wrist, automatically stopping my movement. ā€œWhat do you think you're doing? I donā€™t want you to be traumatized over nothing.ā€ ā€œNothing? Charlotte is fucking dying, yet that is nothing?ā€ Kye asked, hurt flashing in his eyes. ā€œNo. I mean, Iā€™m certain sheā€™s not going to die. There shouldn't be any need for her worry to increase over Charlotte when she's not going to die. Just calm down, Kye.ā€ He pulled me away to Nikita. ā€œNikita, both of you should return home. Itā€™s late. Iā€™ll stay with Kye.ā€ā€œThereā€™s no way Iā€™m leaving until Charlotte is fine.ā€ I protested.ā€œHazel, don't be stubborn. You look tired. Iā€™ll update you every second. Just go home. Please.ā€ He held my shoulders. Though I didn't want to leave till Charlotte was awake, I had to admit that I was extremely tired. ā€œOkay. You must call me when she wakes up.ā€ I succumbed to his demand. ā€œYes.ā€ He placed a kiss on my forehead and I left with Niki
