Hazel’s POV

If I had to walk into E&H Investments looking like an underworld boss, I was at least going to own it.

The heavy black SUV pulled up directly to the front doors of E&H headquarters. Before my personal driver could even unbuckle, the doors on the two escort vehicles behind us swung open simultaneously.

Four men in identical, tailored black suits stepped out into the morning sun. They moved with a silent, sharp sync that practically screamed dangerous. Two of them immediately set up a

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT

    Hazel’s POVI didn't care about the suite, the floating balloons, or the fact that there were half a dozen men standing in a semicircle around us. All I saw was Kai, sitting upright on the edge of the mattress, his dark eyes clear, focused, and fixed entirely on me.I rushed across the confetti-covered floor and threw my arms around his neck, burying my face into the crook of his shoulder."Careful, careful—his stitches!" Reed warned from behind us, but Kai didn't seem to give a single damn about his medical condition. His strong arms wrapped tightly around my waist, pulling me into him until there was zero space left between us, his face pressing deep into my hair.The moment I felt the solid, warm weight of him against me—the steady beat of his heart a

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    KAI IS AWAKE

    Hazel’s POV"What is it?" Sophia asked, her hand pausing on the car door handle as she noticed me completely frozen in place. "Hazel, you look like you just saw a ghost."My hands were trembling so badly I almost dropped the phone onto the leather seat. I stared down at the glowing text message, reading the six words over and over again to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me.Hello Hazel, Kai is awake. Come to the clinic as soon as possible."It's... it's Reed," I choked out, looking up at her with a blur of emotions hitting me all at once. "He called five times... and then he just texted. He says Kai is awake."Sophia’s mouth fell open. "What?! Really?!""I... I don't know, Soph. I don't believe it," I muttered, shaking my head as a strange wave of frustration washed over me. I locked the phone screen and shoved it back into my bag. "I'm not going back there."Sophia stared at me like I’d lost my mind. "Hazel, are you crazy? Reed wouldn't lie about something like that! Why

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    FIVE FUCKING DAYS?

    Kai’s POVEverything was heavy.My eyelids felt like lead, and my throat was so dry it felt like sandpaper. The low, rhythmic beep... beep... beep... of a heart monitor slowly dragged me out of the dark, suffocating fog I’d been trapped in for God knows how long.I blinked, my vision blurry as white walls and harsh hospital lights slowly came into focus. My side burned with a deep, throbbing ache every time I took a breath.I swallowed hard, forcing my raspy, broken voice to work."Hazel...""Boss?"Footsteps rushed over to the side of the bed. Reed’s face appeared in my line of sight, his usual stone-cold expression completely shattering into pure relief."Jesus Christ, you're finally awake," Reed breathed out, leaning over the bed. "Don't try to move too fast."I ignored him, gritting my teeth against the sharp pain in my side as I pushed myself up against the pillows. Reed immediately reached out, placing a firm hand on my shoulder to steady me

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    HAPPY BIRTHDAY....

    Hazel’s POVAfter taking a long, hot shower, I blew-dry my hair, did a light layer of makeup to hide the dark circles under my eyes, and slipped into a white silk jumpsuit with a cream tank top.The moment I opened the bedroom door, an unbelievable aroma pulled me down the hallway—the rich scent of freshly brewed vanilla espresso, buttery pastries, sizzling bacon, and sweet cinnamon.I walked down the grand floating staircase and turned into the dining area. My jaw dropped.The long mahogany dining table—which was usually empty unless Kai and I were having a couple dinner—was completely covered in a massive breakfast spread. There were stacks of fluffy buttermilk pancakes drizzled with syrup, fresh fruit platters, French pastries, egg frittatas, smoked salmon spreads, bacon, vegetables and two jugs of fresh orange juice."Happy 27th Birthday, Hazel!" Sophia beamed, popping out of the kitchen holding a small dish of chocolate-covered strawberries. She set it right

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU

    Sophia’s POVI practically broke the speed limit driving from the restaurant to the penthouse.Hearing Hazel cry on the phone like that had sent a sharp spike of panic straight to my chest. Hazel wasn’t very solid when it comes to emotions. Even though she was now the girl who stood up to boardrooms full of ruthless executives and didn't blink when multi-million-dollar deals were on the line, but when she spoke about Kai... she sounded so broken, so stripped of every piece of armor she had.I used the access code Hazel gave me, pushed open the heavy front door of the penthouse, and tossed my keys onto the entryway table."Hazel?" I called out softly, stepping deeper into the grand, quiet apartment.No answer.I walked straight down the hallway toward the master bedroom. The door was half-open, casting a warm sliver of light across the hardwood floor. I slipped inside and my heart squeezed.Hazel was curled into a small ball on the edge of the massive king

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    I'M DONE WAITING

    Hazel’s POV"Don't do this to me," I sobbed, my hands gripping the front of Kai’s hospital gown, my face buried right against his chest. "You promised me you'd be there. You promised! Just open your eyes... please, Kai... just open your eyes!"Click.The heavy wooden door of the suite slid open. Reed stepped into the room, his eyes scanning the space with caution, drawn in by the sound of my cracking voice echoing through the door.When he saw me pulled halfway over the bed, clutching Kai’s gown and crying into his chest, his posture softened. He let out a low, quiet breath, stepping further inside and closing the door behind him."Hazel," Reed said gently, walking over to the side of the bed. "Hey... calm down."I didn't let go of Kai’s gown right away. I just wiped my face against my shoulder, my breath coming in short, ragged hitches."You've been saying 'he's going to wake up' since he came out of surgery, Reed!" I said, my voice rising with sheer, raw frustration as I finally pul

  • From Discarded Wife, Now the Untouchable Heiress    IT WAS AN ACCIDENT

    I stood at the top of the stairs, completely frozen, unable to move, unable to process what had just happened."No," I whispered. "No, no, no. Melissa!"I hadn't pushed her.I hadn't meant for this to happen.It was an accident.But she was lying at the bottom of the stairs, not moving, and Miss Mia

    Damon left early in the morning.He didn't tell me where he was going or when he would be back. He just kissed Melissa goodbye at the kitchen table while I was making breakfast, and then he was gone. Gone to handle the Moretti family business. Gone to do whatever it was that men like him did when th

    I couldn't sleep.I lay in the guest bedroom for hours, staring at the ceiling, listening to the sounds of the house. At some point around 2am, I gave up pretending and went downstairs to the living room. I curled up on one of the couches with a blanket, my mind racing with everything I had heard at

    I didn't sleep that night. I lay in the guest bedroom, which had become my usual bedroom even though I was supposed to be married, and I listened to the sounds of the mansion settling around me. I listened to Damon's footsteps as he moved through the house. I listened to him talking on the phone to
