~~ Kai's POV ~~

I came home to find Hazel sitting on the couch in the living room. The moment she heard the elevator, her entire body went rigid. Her eyes met mine for just a second before she looked away, and I saw the exact moment she decided to run.

She stood up quickly and headed toward the stairs.

"Hazel," I said, my voice stopping her mid-step. "Where are you going? We need to talk."

She paused on the third stair, her hand gripping the railing.

"I..uh...I was just going to grab something

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    BAD HAZEL

    Kai’s dark eyes searched my face, a dangerous, thrilled smirk slowly curving his lips. The water cascaded over his broad shoulders, pulling dark strands of hair over his forehead as his hands gripped my hips, holding me pinned against the warm tile."Sweet Hazel is taking the day off," I whispered, tilting my chin up with a sudden, fearless surge of confidence. "Today, you get Bad Hazel. Do you have a problem with that, Kai?"A low, guttural laugh vibrated deep in his chest. He leaned in closer until his hot breath brushed right against my lips, his gaze burning with a fierce, possessive heat."Problem?" he growled softly, his thumb tracing the curve of my hip. "Bellissima, I have never been more captivated in my entire life. Where has this side of you been hiding?""She was waiting for the right moment," I purred.Before he could respond, I slid my hands up to the back of his neck, tangling my fingers in his wet hair, and pulled him down into a deep, bruised kiss.Kai let out a harsh

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    TAKE A SHOWER TOO

    We sat across from each other at the marble island, the quiet warmth of the morning wrapping around us like a soft blanket. For the first time in what felt like forever, the suffocating weight in my chest was gone.I reached for the porcelain cup of fresh espresso Kai had poured, taking a quick, unsuspecting sip."Ow! Fuck!" I gasped, pulling the cup away so fast half of it sloshed onto the counter. I immediately dropped my head into my hand, pressing my fingers over my lower lip as a sharp, burning sensation seared right through my skin.Kai was on his feet in a second, his chair scraping loudly against the floor. "Hazel? What happened?""The coffee!" I whined, my eyes watering as I sucked in cold air to cool down my mouth. "Why didn't you tell me it was boiling hot?!"Kai blinked at me, a mix of genuine concern and utter disbelief washing over his face. "Hazel... it's fresh espresso. Of course it's hot. Why would you just gulp it down like that?""I didn't gulp it down!" I protested

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    DON'T BREAK MY HEART

    ~~Hazel's POV~~The soft, steady beep of the heart monitor was the only sound breaking the heavy silence of the hospital room.I kept my back turned to Kai, my eyes open in the darkness as I stared blankly at the beige wall. I could feel his presence sitting right beside my bed—the quiet, heavy weight of his gaze resting on my shoulders. His large, warm hand was still loosely holding mine over the blanket, his thumb tracing tiny, slow circles against my knuckles.“I will never look at another woman, and I will never hurt you like this again.”His voice kept echoing in my head, competing with the lingering images of the dim red lights, the leather cuffs, and the woman crawling toward his lap. My heart felt torn completely in two. Half of me wanted to turn around, throw my arms around his neck, and let him hold me until the nightmare faded. But the other half—the guarded, scarred half that Damon had broken years ago—was screaming at me to keep my guard up.How could I trust that he woul

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    CHEATING ON ME?

    I watched in absolute horror as Hazel began to tremble violently, her eyes darting around the room as if she were reliving that awful night. The trauma of her past was playing out right in front of me, triggered by the sight of my own private sanctuary."I hated it," she whispered, clutching her chest. "I hated every second of it. And when I saw you in that room... when I saw those girls... I couldn't breathe. I didn't believe you would do that to people, Kai. Why? Why would you treat people like slaves? Is it because you're a mafia boss? Does that mean you get to dominate people and treat them like they are nothing?""Hazel, no," I said quickly, my heart breaking at the sight of her distress. I reached out, and this time, I didn't let her pull away. I gently but firmly wrapped my hands around her shaking ones. "Listen to me. It is not the same. Those women... They wanted to be there. In my world, it is built entirely on trust and mutual consent. They find pleasure in giving up contro

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    PURE, CRUEL TORTURE

    ~~Kai's POV~~For several long, agonizing minutes, the room was dead silent except for the rhythmic, dull hum of the heart monitor. Hazel remained buried beneath the heavy hospital blanket, completely shut off from me.I didn't move. I sat on the edge of her mattress, my heart heavy with a crushing weight."Hazel, please," I murmured, my voice raspy. "I'm not going to leave until you talk to me. Come on. I'm so sorry.""I don't want to talk to you," her muffled voice came from beneath the layers of fabric. "And I don't want to hear your sorry. Just go.""What you saw back there... it isn't what you think," I pleaded, reaching out and gently tugging the edge of the blanket. She resisted at first, but with a soft sigh, she finally let me pull it down past her face. Her eyes were red, swollen, and filled with a cold, defensive anger. "It’s not what you think, Hazel. I wasn't cheating on you.""Stop," she whispered, her voice cracking as she glared at me. "What I saw... what was I suppose

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    GO AWAY, KAI!

    Hazel's POVThe first thing that hit me was the sterile, sharp scent of bleach and rubbing alcohol.My head throbbed with a dull, heavy rhythm, like a sledgehammer hitting concrete behind my eyes. I groaned, my eyelids feeling as though they were glued shut. When I finally managed to flutter them open, the harsh, white fluorescent lights of a hospital room forced me to squint."Hazel? Oh, thank God. She’s waking up!"The familiar, frantic voice of Sophia pierced through my dizzy haze. As my vision slowly cleared, a cluster of worried faces crowded over my bedside.My grandmother, Margaret, was staring down at me, her sharp eyes unusually soft with terror. Next to her was my cousin, Adrian, his jaw set in a tight, angry line. Sophia was leaning over the bed, tears shimmering in her eyes."What... what happened?" I croaked, my throat feeling like sandpaper. I tried to sit up, but the world immediately spun, and I fell back against the pillows with a weak gasp. "Where am I?""You're in t

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    PLAYING A DANGEROUS GAME

    I woke up late the next morning, to sunlight streaming through the windows in my room. For a moment I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, my mind replaying everything from the night before–the board with all those photos of me, Kai’s intense eyes, the way he had carried me inside like I already
