>>HazelIt was late at night and I was loitering around Valek’s room because I wasn’t ready to go in. He came back a little while ago and went straight to his room without talking to anyone else. I think he didn’t have dinner either. From what I know he usually eats at home even if he comes late but I guess he wasn’t hungry today, or maybe he ate before coming here.But oh well, that’s not important, what matters now is me going in!I stopped in front of his room and took a deep breath. After gathering some courage I knocked on the door and waited. I didn’t get a reply so I knocked again but there was no response this time either.Maybe he’s not in his room?
>>HazelValek came back and sat down on the glass table. He placed the first aid kit he brought back with him on the side and looked at me.“What?” I asked even though I had a slight suspicion what he was going to do.He extended his hand out slightly over his thigh. “Your foot.” He demanded and I looked at him with a surprised pikachu face.“You want to change my bandages?” I asked and he nodded, “Why?” I asked with genuine curiosity.“With how you’ve wrapped them, they’ll come off again at any random time.” He smirked, “Unless you plan on ripping my pants this time.”
>> HazelSometimes logic just decides to take a break and go on a vacation all of the sudden and as result you end up making a decision you later think about and wonder, why the hell did I do that?That’s exactly what’s happening to me. I don’t know why I said ‘yes’ to Valek’s suggestion. I even changed clothes and sat in his matt black lamborghini and we drove all the way to this fancy restaurant. Only when we reached our destination, I realized what I had done.Did I just come on a date with Valek?It’s almost like my brain suddenly went to sleep while my body acted on it’s own and boom! Here I am. I really didn’t think about anything this whole time! Is that even poss
>>HazelFor a few moments there was silence. After my confession I just looked down at my hands and wondered why I told him such a private thing? Only a handful of people know about this yet I ended up telling Valek for some reason.Was it because of the mood? I don’t know.It just came out as we proceeded through the conversation.“Sir?” I heard Nall’s voice, “Are you ready to give your order?”“Ah-yes.” Valek’s reaction came out a bit confused, “Um, bring the usual for both of us.”“Right away sir.” He answered and took the menu from Valek a
>>HazelI sat in my seat completely still after hearing his words.“She was killed?” My mouth was slightly open in disbelief and I said my words carefully. Then in anxiousness, I bit the side of my lower lip, “How?” I raised my hand and pointed my index finger towards Valek slowly, “Did you-?”“No,” He denied the accusation immediately, “Why would I kill the mother of my child?”A wave of relief washed over me and I suddenly felt relaxed, “Then who?”“I don’t know.” He answered.“What?” I asked in as
>>HazelNothing in particular was out of order.Everything was like how it usually is.Time was passing by like normal, yet, I was stuck.My mind was stuck in a particular time. That time, when Valek told me he had indeed burned his mother alive.Was I shocked at that?Yes,I was. It was something that left me in a trance. It was beyond shocking.It was something I couldn’t understand. For me, or a person like me, who had lost her mother tragically and wanted her back in my life every single day, what Valek had done to his mother was something I couldn’t understand. 
>>HazelValek turned the lights on and then looked at us from where he stood.“Stay here.” He told us, “I’ll go look.”“Daddy don’t!” Emilio tried to stop him, “It will get you too!”Valek looked back at us, “What will get me?” He looked at the door, “This is concerning, the guards are on duty. No stranger should be in the house.”“It’s not a person.” I said, not realizing how stupid I sound.“Mmm!” Emilio nodded as he sat in my lap, “It’s the big monster!&rdq
>>HazelI woke up unsure of where I was and lazily opened my eyes. I couldn’t really understand who the handsome man was in front of me and why there was a kid attached to his chest.What kind of a weird shit dream was this?!I wondered and narrowed my eyes only to realize a moment later that it was Valek and the kid on his chest wasn’t merged in but just lying on top of him.Oh shitEmilio was the kid on his chest.I guess some time during the night he had made his way there and at the moment he was spread out on his father’s chest. Valek had his hand intertwined under his he
