NINETY EIGHT (EPILOGUE)
"Rick? I really didn't expect you to be here."
They haven't seen each other in a long time. Maybe more than eight months after their talk in court. Rick then disappeared and never appeared in front of her again. Rumor has it that he has opened a law firm out-of-town specializing in criminal matters.
“Hey Hazel, you look a lot better and—” Rick gestured at her bulging belly then smiled widely at Hazel's amazing pregnancy.
"And what?"
"And chubby. I didn't say you were fat," Rick said, looking innocent.
Hazel immediately pursed her lips at those words. Lately many people say she is fat. Especially her annoying husband, Calvin! Oh my gosh, the guy kept rebuking her if she started eating sweet snacks at night. Whose fault is this though? Huh, that sucks! Even though having baby was her wish too. But he often teased her and made her grumble when he started talking about being overweight.
“I always get annoyed every time I hear that word. So

Hazel closed her suitcase firmly and pulled the zipper at both ends without hesitation. This decision was unanimous. She will leave here forever and lead a new— more pleasant life. There's no more Rick in her life. From now on they will each live their lives as two different individuals.Hazel took one more look at her room before pulling her suitcase off the bed. For the last time she would look at the interior of the room she had occupied for the past two years. Now the room looked like the first time she had occupied it, so empty, so quiet. It had only one large bed in the middle of the room, and two large windows with white curtains facing the highway that ran below Rick's apartment. Then at the far right there is a wooden door that directly connects it to the bathroom. Now this room doesn't belong to her anymore. A woman would soon replace her to become the owner of this room. Just like Rick's heart. The man was no longer hers."Hazel...""I'm here, R
DESPERATE LOVE ONE
Three days ago~ The tension in the investigation room was sickening. Several people shouted loudly, pointing at the pile of papers lying on the table. Five people in investigator uniforms entered the room several times to deliver some evidence that had been secured from the shooting scene. There is a 9 mm caliber pistol wrapped in a clear adhesive plastic which is positioned on the main table. The gun is a murder weapon. At least that's what the investigative team said today, walking in and out of the room with various items brought from the Duffal family's stately home. In addition to the 9 mm pistol, there is also a bloodstained handkerchief which has now turned brown. The shooting took place yesterday afternoon at seven o'clock, just as the billionaire's family was about to have a traditional family dinner. Unfortunately before the head of the family could sit in his chair, someone named Calvin McAdam suddenly burst

Many greeted Hazel as she strode down aisle after aisle of the bustling prosecutor's office. The news of the murder of the billionaire family practically made all the prosecutors busy gathering evidence. This morning Hazel also had the chance to see the news about the mayor shouting to the media that he wanted the killer of the billionaire family to be caught immediately. The public is now anxiously awaiting the judgment for the defendant which will be carried out tomorrow morning. Several colleagues who knew about tomorrow's trial specifically contacted her and asked her to give Calvin McAdam a proper sentence. Some even directly ordered him to be sentenced to death. The door at the far end of the room was pulled violently from the inside. A tall man with a body that is not too bulky, came out of the room in a condition that could not be said to be fine. His slender body and sunken eyeballs gave off a terrifying gloom, like he was one of the unhappy male characters in a hor

The door to the cramped elevator was about to close before the toe of someone's shoe stopped it and caused the elevator door to open again. "Hi." Rick greeted Hazel kindly and got into the elevator with Hazel, who immediately leaned closer to the elevator wall. Several people who saw Rick enter openly voiced protests that Rick was making the elevator even more crowded. But Rick's thick face was completely unfazed by whatever protest was being carried out for his actions just now. "How are you?" Rick started the small talk with a smile on his face. "I'm fine, Rick. You don't have to worry about me. " "In fact, I'm always worried about you. Since you moved out of my apartment two months ago, I haven't stopped to think about some of your carelessness." Hazel glanced slightly at the people who were listening to their conversation. Even though she seemed to pretend to be busy with her cellphone, she knew that some people in the elevator wer
DESPERATE LOVE FOUR
"Mommy..." Hazel still remained where she was, glancing warily at little Emily who was standing near the open door of her bedroom hugging Mr. Bunny. Calvin's piercing eyes in the darkness gleamed like the eyes of a hungry cat. No! Hazel screamed inwardly, screaming Emily's name for the little girl to run away for help. From her standing position, the little girl certainly couldn't see the threat from the presence of a foreign man who was now ensnaring her mother's body. “This gun can crush that kid's head if you don't act wise, Judge Hayes. Now stay here, and let me get rid of that nuisance rat.” Hazel tried to hold Calvin's hand still hanging over her head. Through her face, Hazel made a deep plea for Calvin not to hurt her little Emily. She tried to grab the man's hand. The sting that tickled her stomach made her gasp for a moment. But she assumed she wasn't the only one who felt a shock like an electric shock. She could see the man's pupils dilate
DESPERATE LOVE FIVE
Richmond walked unsteadily into his dark-looking house. All day he did a lot of emotional work. Many parties in the prosecutor's office are concerned about the murder of the Duffal family. He thought, why do they take care of people who have died, even fuss over their abundant wealth. Richmond felt like stuffing their mouths one by one as they started arguing near his ringing ears. Today he had a terrible headache. His brain, which had been forced to work for almost twenty-four hours, made him experience nervous tension in the back of his head, causing his head to throb with pain. "You're home." The flat greeting from his wife was something he was very familiar with. Their marriage is already on the line. However, he is still grateful for his wife's decision, which until now has not sent a divorce letter. The specter of children who have always been their problem. Somehow his wife was demanding too much on him to do this and that close
DESPERATE LOVE SIX
"What?" asked Hazel in surprise. She was still busy in her thoughts when the man suddenly said something nearby."Stand up. What time is it now?"“Four,” Hazel said angrily. She had lost her precious rest time because of that man. And don't know what will happen when the sun starts to appear. What is clear is that she cannot continue like this and become the man's puppet. She had to run away."Don't touch my hand!"Calvin ignored her screams. The man kept pulling her, half dragging her to her feet. And she was quite exhausted when she walked after the man because her bare feet stepped on a lot of papers. After this she had to spend hours of her time cleaning up all the mess Calvin had made. Really damn-troublesome guy."We still have time.""What time?" Hazel asked cluelessly."You'll find out later."Calvin forcibly grabbed Hazel's biceps and pushed her out of her study. The lights in the living room were not turne

The first-class prison building is being shaken by the escape of the dangerous prisoner, Calvin McAdam, from one of the cells that is claimed to be a special cell that has the most advanced security level. The pride of the police is now the same as being dropped by Calvin, who in fact is just a driver. The high-ranking police officers then held a meeting to immediately arrest the prisoner, whose whereabouts are still unknown.“Journalists have been swarming around like ants who have just gotten a lump of sugar. They are busy broadcasting in front of the building to pry into the depravity that has occurred in this prison.”One of the top police officers shouted angrily, scolding all the night shift cops who were incompetent at their jobs, causing one prisoner to escape.Richmond was in the center of the crowd, watching everyone blaming each other without anyone moving to quickly find Calvin.
