Thugs and Guns
"What is it?" I frowned, eyeing the envelope.
"See for yourself." He streched it more to me, and I took it, tearing the top and sliding the paper out in my hand. Unfolding it, I examined the content, my frown deepening.
"He is transferring me to New York, a thousand miles away from you," Blake worded it for me, anger lacing in his voice.
I gave the paper back to him, looking down and pretending to fix the sleeve of my sweatshirt. "It is good. Everything is over. You should keep away."
"What!" His face creased in astonishment. "Hazel, what did this man do to you?" He looked at me like I had transformed into a ghost.
"He saved me, so many times," I told him.
"So did I," he retorted.
"I don't deny it." I looked him in the eye, hoping he could read the fear and concern in my face. "That is why I am asking you to leave, so wh

"You may try, but you can't lay a finger on Dimitri. I won't let you." The line went dead the second those words left my mouth. I called Montero first thing in the morning next day and let him know that he failed, and it felt so good. Although I should not have done this. But all the anger, all the frustration had built up in me for so long, they begged to be released. When I tried to suppress, they slithered inside my brain and took control. Yes, that's how it felt like. There was a colossal book of profanities in my head, waiting to be read to him, word by word, but I resisted. Because I had no other choice. One day though, I told myself. One day all those curses would reach the ears of their rightful owner, and I would make damn sure of it. I was going through the seating chart of a charity raising event Dimi
Deceiving Dimitri To save them
I went through his closet, grabbing the first shirt that reached my hand and threw it on in a haste. "Hazel, what happened?" Dimitri asked yet again, but my mind was too occupied with dreadful thoughts to fully register his words. "My purse... Where did I keep it?" I began digging through the mess of blankets on the bed when clasping my arm, Dimitri flipped me to face him. "Hazel, will you tell me what happened? What did Brooke say?" he questioned, eagerly wanting to know my answer. I swallowed. What would I tell him? That Joseph, who lived in the retirement house, I was betraying him to save, had a heart attack and was now fighting death in the hospital? Say it or not, but I already knew that it was the deed of Montero to punish me for disregarding his warnings. He wanted me to suffer. God, how could I be so selfish?

If one could go back in time and change the course of action, then I would have erased the day Daniel Montero came into my mother's life. I would have destroyed their marriage. I would have tossed him a thousand miles away from our lives. Only if we knew before. Daniel Montero came into our life like a soft flower petal, floating in the cool spring breeze, like someone you could rely your dear life on, but in the end, he turned into something dangerous, something poisonous like bleeding hearts. Movement in my hands, snapped my attention to the sleeping figure. But no. His eyes were still closed. He had been doing this since yesterday, moving his fingers, sometimes eyelids, but that was about it. My ears craved to hear his voice, to listen to him guiding me to the right path, to stop me from the sun I was about to commit. I rubbed my thumb over the soft,
Deceiving Dimitri Deception
My eyes snapped open by the buzzer of my phone, and I rose up, leaning on my elbow to grab the phone from the nightstand. It was a message from Brooke. The insurance company had agreed to cover the surgery and ICU cost, but there were still some other expenses that had to be borne by us, or more like by Montero, because he was in possession of all our money. Setting aside the blanket, I fully got up and scanned my eyes around. Dimitri was nowhere to be seen. I tip-toed out of the room towards the kitchen and sure enough, found him there, filleting a salmon with the utmost concentration and skill. My clutch tightened around my phone, and I whispered, "Please, forgive me." Skulking back inside his bedroom, I closed the door, so no sound could escape outside and found myself in front of the floor-to-ceiling shelf, my breathing bursting in and out. Lifting my foot, I let it hit the floor beside the couch as Dimitri did before, an
Deceiving Dimitri The Ultimate Deception
I pushed the file on the table like it was something poisonous and glared at Nina. "Have you lost your mind? I will never do it.""But this is sir's order." She enunciated each word clearly as if talking to a child."Screw him! I have done enough on his fucking orders. This-" I pointed an accusing finger at the manilla folder, containing the ominous papers that I had to trick Dimitri into singing, "-is beyond the boundaries now."She sighed dramatically and glanced up at Ryan who stood right beside her with his hands shoved into his pockets. His lips pulled up into a smirk, and he drew out his hands along with his phone."We knew you would be a pain in the ass as always," he spoke, tapping something on his phone and extending it to me. "So we came prepared."Frowning, I eyed it, a new sense of fear gripping my heart. "What?""Talk."

"I feel like kidnapping you to take you with me." I chuckled, staring at his intoxicating greys, my heart heavy with guilt and grief. We stood at the airport, in front of his private jet, bidding goodbyes for the journey. It had been five minutes already, yet we latched onto each other like siamese twins. "When will you come back?" I asked, my voice coming out in a whisper. "I'm not sure yet." He pressed his forehead against mine, sighing. "Maybe the day after tomorrow." His voice was uncertain and low like he hated the fact as well. I looked down, biting my lip. I already knew what the future had in store for me, and it would not be something pleasant. For the record, this might just be our last time together. The mere thought of it shattered my heart into a million pieces, making me feel suffocated. My eyes stung at the corners. "Hey, look at me." His hand grabbed my chin,

"What did you do?" Blake shouted, his eyes rounded. "Calm down, okay. I had to." Nearing me, he held my shoulders and jerked. "Smurfette, do you have any idea where this can land you? That man, when he finds out, do you think he will let you off? No, Haze. He didn't forgive his own mother for God's sake." "Will you stop with that? I told you he had other reasons," I hollered back. "Shh, guys. Keep it down if you don't wanna get kicked out of the hospital," Brooke interrupted, walking out of Joseph's room and glaring at us both. She was right. My eyes scanned around the hallway. People were looking at us like we had grown three extra brainless heads. Closing my eyes, I let out a loud breath while Blake released me, calming himself down as well. "I'm sorry, but you should have asked me, Smurfette," saying, he ran
Deceiving Dimitri Facing Montero
"I'm here." Montero sat in his red chesterfield lounge with one hand spread over the top and the other holding a glass of amber liquid as usual. He arched an eyebrow in question. "Well?" "My demands first. I want to see them," I told him. I would be a fool if I trusted him blindly, because I very well knew he would not even think before stabbing me in the back. His eyes moved to his assistant Nina, standing by his side and motioned her. Nodding, she picked up the small briefcase that was resting on the coffee table, clicked it open and splayed it before us. Sure enough, there was the money as well as Sunshine Retirement's property documents. "The signature?" I asked, and she turned the corners of the pages, showing me the bright, fresh signatures in the required sections. I took a step towards it when his voice stopped me.
