"Stop shivering, Hazel. You are raising suspicions."Emily's scolding had Hazel looking up with her anxious eyes. And indeed, the officer Theodore had sent for her, was looking her way with joined brows and concerned expressions.Seeing her eyes on him, he took the initiative of asking,"Is everything okay, ma'am?" His tone filled with respect.Hazel lowered her eyes and mumbled, "Yes, sir. I'm fine. Thank you." She intake large breaths to calm herself down.The officer didn't look persuaded though he didn't press furthur either. Nodding, he stepped a bit away from the girls to give them some privacy Albeit his eyes were following them with hawk gaze."Now what?" Hazel mouthed to Emily who was standing beside her. Both were now in corridor of hospital. Emily indicated Hazel to keep quiet and turned towards the officer."Sir, I will take Hazel inside my office. You can guard on the doorframe.""Sure thing." He gave a curt nod.In

Her mouth went dry with fear. She couldn't speak. She couldn't move. All she could do was to gaze down at the reports and then back at him, time to time, with nothing but paleness and anxiety."Talk, Hazel." He said, closing the door and turning around that made her step back unconsciously.He feigned ignorance of her fearful antic. "Right now, I'm very angry, Hazel. So, let me know if you know something about why the hell have I received this unexpected report on my address. If you don't open your mouth, then I will gladly rip the envelope open and will make you read it. And if I found out anything about it concerns you, then God help me. Rest will be the dreadful future, you will remember as close as a horrifying history."With each step he spoke, he took a step closer to her. While, all she could do was to move back and back until her back touched the cold wall, that notified her of pathless alley she had walked into and now the only way to cross it was throu

His blood shot eyes were blankly staring at the ceiling, bottle of expensive liquor in his hand from which he had been drinking like an addict.He was sat on the floor, with his back leaned against the side frame of his king sized bed. His hair grown, face pale and eyes mahogany. He looked high on drugs.And he indeed was.He had been inhaling heroine and other drugs from time her disappearance had started taking troll over him. He couldn't deal with the stress. And thus, all he could do was drink and inhale until the painful memories of his time with her, would vanish away from his mind, leaving him nothing but hollow and numb.He didn't know where to find her anymore.All his resources had failed. There was no clue of her. It was as if she had disappeared in thin air.He couldn't get to meet with Evelyn and Chloe either. Apparently, the orders from that Brigadier were like stamp on paper. There was no repelling against his words."U

Sat in darkness and silence, Edward was working on finding his solace in it. Though, it was no where yet somehow he was alive. Merely breathing but alive.Suddenly, his peace of mind got disturbed by distant voices, some uproarious and some haughty. His brows furrowed together on hearing his father shouting at someone. He had never seen him doing that before."How fucking dare you touch my Minha , huh?!" He was yelling in deranged tone.Edward's brows cocked up hearing the name of his one and only elder sister who moved out of the house a year back and had gotten bit distant from them. At first, it was weird but then Edward grew used to it. Their father's wealth and influence had made her independent at an early age. Though, no doubt, Edward was the one who had gotten most benefitted from his father's influence. But right now, when he needed his father's influence the most, his father dearest had backed away, causing him to mentally writh in abandon

"Come here, Hazel." Hazel lifted her swollen eyes and looked at him. He looked furious like never before. But, he was taking time to calm himself. He was struggling to control his beast from unleashing. Scared, she shook her head fearfully. "P-Please l-listen to m-me. I didn't do-" "FUCKING COME HERE!!" His sudden roar made her shrunk into her seat. Small whimpers escaped her trembling lips. Standing up on her shivering legs, she took baby steps in his direction and paused right infront of him. Her eyes not daring to lift from the floor. He grabbed the back of her neck before yanking her forward to his chest. His sudden action caught her off guard. She gasped, startled and placed her hands on his chest to study herself, her innocent, teary eyes clashing with his cold ones. "You cheated on me." His words pricked at her heart. She tried to shook her head, but his tight grip on her neck didn't al
