Hazel's POVI hurriedly walked towards the door. I had not bothered to bid Noah bye and I did not care. All I wanted to see were my kids. I knew Noah had saved me and I should have shown my gratitude but at the moment that was not a priority. I would offer him one later. He should have, however, taken me home to my kids. I had never spent a night away from them and I was worried. Lucas was a good friend but I should not have left them with him alone. I just hoped that they had not given Lucas a hard time. I would deal with the trauma of being kidnapped later so I shoved it at the back of my mind the way I did things that stressed me. It was not the first time I was postponing my grief. I had, in fact never mourned the death of my brief relationship with Noah. I was still waiting for the right time, which between juggling work and taking care of the kids, never came. There was no time for pity party. I had had to man up and be the responsible and reliable parent my children needed. May
Hazel's POVKaiser takes long to wake up and brush his teeth. And since I cannot leave him, I decide to shoot the human resource a text to inform him that I will not be coming in. In the text, I tell him that my daughter is sick and I am with her at the hospital. I also call Kaiser's school and ask for a sick day for both of them. After that, I help Kaiser put on his home clothes before we dash out of the house. I thank the moon for the Uber driver who understands my urgency to arrive at the hospital faster. Fate is also ony side because we encounter less traffic on our way. The road to the hospital is clear. Kaiser looks at me worriedly before asking."Mommy, where were you last night?" His voice echoes through the car."I was at work my dear." I lied with a straight face. He would not understand even if I told him what had happened. I did not want the trauma I had experienced to get to him. "I am so sorry baby boy for leaving you alone with uncle Lucas." I said as I hugged him. He
Lucas's POVI was not going to let Hazel speak to Noah and tell him that the twins were his. It was a selfish move but I did not care. Those were my children by virtue of being there for them. It annoyed me that Hazel had started getting close to him. I did not want to believe the kidnapping story but Hazel had never lied to me ever since I knew her. What annoyed me the most was that she still had his scent all over her. I knew it was not Drake's scent; I had been around him enough to distinguish the two scents. This meant that she had slept in Noah's house and was cooking up stories about a kidnap. Now that Kyla was sick and in need of blood, Noah was bound to show up and I definitely did not want that. If he showed up and got to know that the kids were his, he was going to take Hazel and the kids with him. The Noah I knew would fight for custody if Hazel denied him a chance to be with his kids. The fighting in court would drain Hazel and the kids and I did not want that. There was
Hazel's POVIt had been two days since the transfusion happened. My daughter was looking good; her colour had returned and her cheeks were rosy. She was ready to be discharged. I was ready to go home, staying in the hospital was tiring. I did not know where Lucas had gotten the blood, and I did not want to ask. I was very grateful for the fact that he had done all he could to help a child that was not his. Lucas was a good man, there was no debate about that. I was going to repay him for all the good he had done for me and my children. He had continued to help despite being mad at me for sleeping at Noah's. We had not talked about that because we were busy taking care of our patient. I hoped to find time and broach the subject to him, just not at the moment. He had taken Kaiser home and left me to deal with the doctor. My daughter was holding my hand as we walked to the doctor's office to get her discharge letter and her file. Lucas had already paid for everything; I had wanted to pa
Noah's POVWe watched as Hazel and the little girl walked away with the little girl. They were in a hurry. And it made me wonder why. Why had Lucas, her kids' father not accompanied her to the hospital? This was a very renowned private hospital, how was she able to afford that and who was sick? I had to find out all these things that were bugging me; my curious mind could not let go. I know what Theo would have told me; let her go, and stop worrying about her life, she is not yours. And I would ignore him and do my own investigation just as I was about to do. "Uncle, I will marry that girl." Theo's little boy said abruptly. He had been silent throughout the gazing and staring.I was shocked. Why on earth would she say something like that? He had only met the girl once and they had not even spoken, how did he know that he was going to marry her?"What did you say?" I asked. I had heard him but I wanted him to repeat just to be sure that he knew what he was talking about. Kids said wei
Chapter 53Noah's POVWe walked towards the car with no hurry. I had gone to the doctor's office with a curious mind and had come out with nothing but questions in my mind. The only person who could answer these questions was Hazel but she was not going to tell me anything so I had to get them on my own. I was going to have to look for means to find out the truth. She would not tell me anything even if her life depended on it. I helped Jay, Theo's son out in the seatbelt and off we went. I had not come with my driver so I was the one to drive us home. My mind was filled to the brim and I only answered the questions Jay was asking me with a yes or no. I was absent minded throughout the whole ride. Jay, on the other hand, kept babbling and talking about his friend from school. I loved this boy, I really did but right now I wished that he could be asleep or just quiet. I could not drive fast enough to reach home and drop him to his parents. It was not his fault that I could not be a good
Chapter 54Hazel's POVI had been thinking about it the whole time I had been in the hospital. What was the use of doing a job that did not allow me to bond with my children? The environment was also toxic, this Lucas had tried to tell me every time I complained to him about one thing or the other. He was the one who had helped me secure the job and had been pleading with me to resign if it did notake me happy. I knew part of the reason he wanted me to resign was because Drake kept asking me out and he was jealous. He had also seen how the work was taking a toll on my mental health. If it was not Drake making me feel uncomfortable by incessantly asking me out, it was the coworkers gossiping and being mean to me. Noah's stalkinsh behaviours also did not make it better. My daughter's sickness had taught me something and forced me to make a decision. It looked like I was always in danger of one thing or another because of that work. I had been kidnapped because of working in the same pla
Chapter 55Drake's POVI was mad. How could they chase me away like a dog? Did they not know that I was Alpha Drake and that Igor anything I wanted? I was going to teach them a lesson. I knew my incessant propositions was finally going to drive Hazel away and as much as I was angry at them, I was angry at myself. I had messed up and fumbled on a good woman. I was not going to give up on her. Lucas on the other hand was going to pay for humiliating me infront of Hazel. He thought that he was man enough because Hazel was on his side. He deserved whatever was going to come to him. I was going to destroy him and all he had. Who did he think he was to treat me the way he had? I drove so fast I almost hot a tree. I was being careless and I did not care. I wanted Hazel and the rejection hurt. Why did I even care? She was just a lowlife who had twins and used to work at my company. Her resignation hurt me though, I had not expected it. It did not matter how much I tried to console myself, it
