Cade wasn’t sure what her definition of ‘getaway’ was but he didn’t argue with Hazel as he made a U-turn, driving her to his suite as per her request. He parked the car in the hotel lot, the soft glow of the streetlights illuminating the surroundings. As he turned off the engine, he prepared to open the door when felt something unusual on his thigh. He looked down and saw Hazel’s fingers stroking his thigh, softly yet firmly, sending a shiver of sensation through his body. Her fingers traced a delicate path, moving with a mix of hesitance and desire. The warmth of her touch seeped through the fabric of his pants, leaving a tingling sensation in its wake. As her hand traveled upwards, Cade felt a rush of conflicting emotions– the intimacy of her touch, the surprise of her boldness, and the concern for her state of mind. It brought back memories of five years ago when she first approached him. Once her hand got to his chest, she started to lose his tie. Surprised, he turned to her,

“Just a bill?” Cade asked curiously. “ Well let me tell you what that bill has done to me in five years. It made me overly conscious of my body. That stupid bill you left in my room five years ago messed with my self-esteem which took me years of effort to get back. That ‘just a bill’ made me visit a psychiatrist for years, worsening my fear of women and intimacy.” By the time Cade finished talking, veins were throbbing around his neck. His anger was justified because Hazel’s habit of leaving a $100 bill after sex did a number on Cade’s mental health, especially since it was his first time being intimate in his whole life.Hazel let out a sinister laugh which confused and infuriated Cade even more. “Is this funny to you?” He asked curiously. Hazel laughed harder until she could see the confusion and fear in Cade’s gaze. Slowly the laughter turned into a monstrous frown, “I see you led a great life after that night. You even had time to work out and keep your health in check. What am

A FEW HOURS EARLIER…“Mr. Westham, I came to remind you of the meeting with the…” Gabriel’s voice trailed off as he pushed open the door to Cade’s room and saw him fully dressed, spraying his cologne. “Gather the files now and make sure none is missing,” Cade ordered, readjusting his necktie once more in front of the mirror. A broad grin crossed Gabriel’s face finally seeing his boss back to being himself. For the past two days, Cade and alcohol were inseparable and he found him most times wallowing in self-pity and neglecting his duty at the office. “Okay, sir.” He responded before going back to the living room.As the car drove off, Cade, who was looking through a business magazine, briefly dropped the book and asked, “How much longer is it going to take us to get there?”“In 40 minutes. Luxe Lounge is close by.” Gabriel replied, his grin still intact. Cade sighed, stomping his fist on the chair, “I hate people like Mr. Garcia. Always mixing business with pleasure.” he mumbled

Hazel felt her breath cut in her throat upon hearing the voice and the question. She quickly took the phone from Cade and hastily spoke onto it, “Hale, that’s you right? Isn’t my baby supposed to be home?” “Hello…” The call abruptly ended without giving Hazel a response. As Cade finally took back the phone, the Trucaller eventually popped up the name of the screen. “Hale Ricci Sinclair? He was your brother?” Cade asked, surprised. “But what does he mean by that?” He asked again.Hazel quickly pulled out her phone, dialing Hale’s number in haste. It rang for a while but wasn’t answered so she called and called again but she kept getting redirected to voicemail. She knew Hale was intentionally not answering her call so she decided to use the voicemail to send him a warning. “Hale, I swear if you don’t answer this phone I will kill you!” She threatened her voice so raw with anger that Cade was even frightened.“Hazel, what’s going…” His voice trailed off following the ring of Hazel’

Hazel sniffed, wiping the tears on her face before attempting to step off the car but Cade locked it from his side to stop her.“Hazel, why are you being so childish? I’m being serious here but you just want to walk out?” Cade asked, trying to reason with her.“Open the door!” Hazel snapped, not ready to be reasoned with. Cade was furious by her reaction. He understood her being emotional when talking about the past but her always being haughty and rude was one thing he couldn’t fathom.“Open the f@cking door!” She snapped one more time and Cade eventually pressed the unlock button. As Hazel opened the door to leave, Cade started to talk, “Just so you know, I have Ivy’s toothbrush and also a picture of Ivy using that brush this morning.” Hazel stopped just right before shutting the door close, “What kind of psycho are you to…” “I will do another test. Just pray the result coincides with what you’re saying, or I will take you to court and take Ivy-Lynn away from you forever.” He th
