All Chapters of Billionaire's Obsession (18+): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

10 YEARS BACK HAZEL “God damn, princess, you look breathtaking.” Justin, football caption, whistled as I walked through the corridor. I brushed my hair slightly, passing him a bright smile, lowering my gaze to catch a glimpse of my outfit. I wore beige shorts and green tank top. I had a haircut and probably my today’s makeup was on point. I know I looked pretty. I love dressing up, looking doll like, grabbing everyone’s attention, being popular in the high school, it feels good. As I entered the classroom, I heard few hooting from the group of jocks, I beamed at them and a shade of blush crept up to my cheeks. I sat on my bench, next to Alyssa and Sia. They both are my best friends. We always hang out together. They’re little mean but they’re nice. “Oo, lala. Someone had a bomb haircut, huh?” Alyssa winked.“Thankyou.” I smiled. “You’re such a doll, Babe.” Sia said, a little louder for the entire class to hear her. I blushed. We were chatting with each other when Alyssa nudg

10 YEARS BACK HAZEL I drove the car from the creepy part of town to my house. I don’t know if what I’m doing is right or not but I want to do this for him. As I parked the car in front of my house, I looked at him. “I live here alone. My house has two rooms, so you can stay here for a time being before you figure out a decent place to live. You might not read news, but that area was once famous for murders. I don’t know how many people were killed there but definitely the number’s high. And Atlas, I don’t know what you’ve been through or how fucked up your life was that you ended up living there and believe me I don’t even want to know. But can you stop doing this thing to you? You have to fight your demons on your own. If somebody at school is bullying you then for god’s sake, stand for yourself. Stop wasting your life and even if you’ve no reason, just fucking live. You’re seventeen, not seventy. Your whole life is ahead of you.” I said, my voice harsher than usual.I don’t know

HAZELAn uncomfortable silence itched at the table of four of us. Atlas and Ava looked everywhere but at one another. Okay I didn't expect that it'll be this bad. I looked at Justin helplessly who sat across the table, next to Ava. He shrugged his shoulders in return. God! This is so awkward. Atlas asked me to accompany him to the lunch date that I planned for him with Ava and I'm pretty sure that Ava had asked Justin to come with her. I'm pretty sure there's something going between them. I mean I know my best friend; he won't ever indulge himself with any girl beside sex but here he is, sitting with Ava. Something's fishy. I cleared my throat. "We haven't got a proper chance to introduce ourselves." I said to Ava.She smiled politely. "Well, I heard a lot about you from Justin."I see.I gave Justin a raised eyebrows which he countered with one of his fake smiles. "Atlas, how come your sister is a smartass? She's majoring in computer science. And I remember you failing in high s

HAZEL“I’m craving something sweet.” I mumbled, walking into the kitchen and spotting Justin gulping down the orange juice after taking it out from the fridge. “You and Atlas are together sweet enough for me to puke.” He retorted, passing me a bottle of juice.I yawned and sat on the chair. “Shut up.” My eyes lazily peeked out of the window and after noon sun hit me straight in my eyes. I over slept, I guess? Today’s Sunday so no college for Ava and hence, Justin overslept too. Bingo. “Is Atlas still asleep?” He asked, sprawling on the couch.“Nope. He’s attending meeting calls from different time zones since seven in the morning.” I answered. And I miss him. I mean I want to have a conversation with him but now he’s not just an ordinary man. He’s the CEO of billion-dollar company. Off course, he’d be busy with his work and all. “Have you talked about the possibility of his father being the psychopathic killer?” I shook my head. “No.” Not yet. Atlas told me that I’ll always sa

HAZELI paced back and forth in my room, trying to figure out what Atlas said before. That man! God, sometimes I hate him to so many levels that I want to strangle but at the same time, I just can’t. I can’t because then I’d be dead too. He fucking crushed cigarettes in his hands just because I told him that I won’t marry him. What kind of fucked up situation is this? Calm down, Hazel.I took a deep breath and brought my attention back to Ava who was looking at me, hoping to get an answer that I had no idea about. “Your brother. He’s an asshole.” I breathed out. “We were not talking about my brother.” She whispers, a slight grin plastering on her face.Oh. Right.“I’m sorry- I was just…Please tell me where were we again?” I apologized.“I was asking that can you take me to some club?” She asked. “But Ava, it wouldn’t be safe.” She frowned. “Uh, okay.”I pinched the bridge of my nose. “We can go but you’ve to stay close to me.” She beamed with a wide smile. “Sure. Thankyou so mu
