Alex's POV

I wanted to say something, but it felt like my mouth was heavier than fucking lead.

Hazel leaned on the car door. One hand pressed on her lap and the other doodling mindlessly on the window. Streetlights caught her reflection against the glass, making her look more ethereal than she already does.

The hum of my engine wasn't even enough to fill up the sickly silence.

“Come back to the mansion.” I blurted out without thinking too much about it. The truth is, if I overthink, I'd end up dragging this more than I should.

Her eerily calm voice spoke back, not even turning her head to face me. “You had an ex wife.”

Fuck. How did she find out?

My hands on the steering wheel grips impossibly tighter. “Yes. I was going to—”

“To do what Alex? You were going to do what?” Her voice remained deadly leveled.

“Going to explain. I know the truth about Abel, I shouldn't have jumped into conclusions.”

A slow laughter found a way out of her and the pitch increased as she turned to face me. I’m

  • Forced to Marry The Arrogant Billionaire Heir   Chapter 23.

    Today’s the day. The day I finally fight for what I deserve for the first time in my life. My black work heels clicked loudly against the floor as I strode into the large conference hall, this wasn't the usual meeting room. The vibe this hall gave was sharp and cold.My outfit was deliberately picked to depict a power look. Tailored straight grey pants with a matching fitted blazer, paired with a few loose button down black shirt. I stood to my full length proudly in the middle of the room to address the audience of people who’d decide my fate in the next few minutes.They sat on two steps of tables on either side of me, stretching to the length of the room. There were exactly 210 shareholders in Jones enterprise. My eyes carefully did a round of sweeping their faces, just to find one absent, replaced by his female assistant.Everyone was here, except him — our top holder, Alexander De Luca.My gaze flickered to the empty seat at the front, right beside my step brother, marked with hi

    “Earth to Hae!” Freya called out, snapping me out of my overthinking.“Hm?”“Really?” Her face shifted to a pointed look “Your mind’s far up in the clouds. We came here so you could ‘unwind’, but you look even more tense than ever.”She gestured to the serene environment the Library provided. I’ve got my favourite novel I love to read, perched on the table in front of me, waiting patiently to be read by me. A teenage girl and her boyfriend sat a few tables to our top right sharing a book I recognized as the fourth series of ‘Yona of the Dawn’, with his arm slung loosely over her shoulder. The other tables were occupied with kids under 12 and 18.So you can just imagine how odd two grown ass women who could pass for characters in Suites look sitting here. Two thirteen year olds just confirmed my thought by eyeing us, shielding their mouths to whisper about us as they passed by.I groaned, pressing my palms to my temple. “Do you think coming here might’ve been too impulsive?”The offic

    Alex’s POV“Ouch”Punch“Ouch”Punch“Ouchh”Punch“Fucking take it easy man!!” The thud of my gloves hitting against Levi’s sparing pads and skin echoed in my private gym. Well the sounds of his insistent whining also contributed. Sweat dripped down my back, dampening the collar of my shirt as I threw another hook, maybe harder than necessary. My fist connected brutally to Levi’s Jaw and he staggered back.“I always knew you had it out for me, that could’ve killed me straight up.” Levi gasped in disbelief, the side of his lip already shedding blood.“You’re being dramatic, that can’t kill you. Now stop being a pussy and come back here, I’m not done.” I said gruffly, wiping a sweat drop from the bridge of my nose.Levi’s eyes widened. “Hell no! If you need a motherfucking punching bag to vent out all that anger, you have just enough in this damn gymnasium.” He said while dramatically flailing his hands towards the numerous boxing bags in the room.“No. I want you,” I said flatly.“A

    I slipped off my heels by the door of my room, my toes curling into the foot mat with a sigh.It's been a long night and I'm just tired. Bone deep, soul-heavy exhaustion. I felt like climbing up to the clouds and resting for a few days.The soft knock on my door startled me from my wistful thinking. “Mrs Hazel?”I opened the door to find Nora holding a folded stack of bed sheets? I think they're bed sheets. Her apron was dusted with flour and a loose strand of hair clung to her cheek.“You're still working?” I asked, tilting my head to the side.Her face turned a shade of pink, leaving her lips parted a little. “Uhm… I want—wanted to change… your sheets for you.” She stammered. I leaned into the doorframe observing the girl assigned to be my maid. Nora's quite adorable and incredibly shy, but there's a gentleness about her that never felt rehearsed. “Come in.”“Thought you might need new sheets,” Nora hesitated a bit before she continued “you seem a little tired, and I thought this

    Hazel's POVMy father's assistant, Benson, called during the reoccurring heated argument Alex and I were having. “Miss Hazel,” his clipped voice spoke through the other end of the phone. “Your father requests your presence in the house immediately. And no, he didn't say why. Only that it's pressing.” He concluded and cut the call.A chill ran up my spine regardless of how much I talked myself into this. As for Alex and his infuriating assumptions, I couldn't handle them right now and left.“Siri, call Fre,” once I got settled in my car, I drove away from the mansion.Freya picked up on the fifth ring, sounding tired. “Are you a vampire or something? You should be sleeping, argh.” She makes a sound, signaling that she's yawning over the call.“Benson called.”Silence. Before I heard the rustling sound of her trying to sit up in bed.“This can't be good,” She hissed, all signs of sleep gone. “What do you think it's about?”“Probably the meeting we're planning, genius,” I said sarcasti

    I stepped into the brightly lit restaurant. My heels clicked softly against the tiled floor, just loud enough for me to hear. The voices over meals were accompanied by an orchestra playing in the background. The red armless dress stopped right above my ankle, fitting the perfect fancy aesthetic of this restaurant. “Reservation for Hazel Jones,” I informed the waitress who had a tight blonde bun on.“This way ma'am,” She led me to a table in a secluded area beside a glass wall that stretched up to the ceiling. Then I saw him.The man that was sure to take me to my goal. Jacob Chester. America's eligible young and handsome bachelor.“Miss Hazel,” he says, flashing me a toothy grin. “Nice to finally meet you in person.”“Likewise, Mr Chester,” I responded to his greeting with a smile too.Jacob Chester is my golden beautiful key to overthrow James. The dark haired handsome billionaire who controls Chester corp with grace.“Jacob. You can call me Jacob,” He pulls my chair back, gestur
