His Father’s Addction CHAPTER 114
HAZELElvis was already sitting when I got there. I spotted him from a distance and slowed down.Now I was nervous.I should have thought this through properly before calling him. Standing here now, I realised there were several missing steps in that brilliant plan. The biggest one being how I was supposed to cut hair from a grown man's head without him noticing.Regardless, I was already here.Turning around would only mean having to do this another day.I walked over.Elvis raised his head as I approached.“Hi.”“Hi.”“Thanks for coming.”“It’s fine. Come, sit.”I sat beside him, leaving enough space between us that there was no chance of our bodies touching.I placed my handbag beside me and slipped my hands into my jacket pockets.My fingers brushed against the small ziplock bag I'd brought.Everything was ready. All I needed was the sample.He turned towards me.“You said you had something to tell me.”Straight to business.Why couldn't this man talk unnecessarily for once in his

HAZELI had been looking at my laptop since morning.It was already noon, and the document open on my screen had barely changed in the last hour.Betty's words from last night wouldn't leave my head.What if Elvis isn't Maya's dad?I turned towards the bed.Maya was sleeping peacefully beside me, one small hand tucked beneath her cheek.I should have put her in her room for her afternoon nap, but she'd climbed onto my bed while I was working and fallen asleep there.My beautiful girl.I'd never questioned who her father was. There had been nothing to question.Elvis was the only man I'd slept with after leaving prison.Before prison, there was Jarvis. After prison, Elvis. That was it. Two men in my entire life.Jarvis couldn't possibly be Maya's father. There was a gap of years between the last time I'd been intimate with him and my pregnancy which left Elvis.Yet the vasectomy kept standing in the middle of everything like one giant question mark.He'd told me he'd had it done.When

ELVISToday, I'm working from my other office.At least, that's what I'm supposed to be doing.I arrived much earlier than necessary, went through a few emails, signed two documents, and somehow ended up standing by the window, again.From here, I have a clear view of the entrance to the building.People have been walking in since morning. Some alone, some in groups, most of them carrying laptops or coffee cups as they hurry through the doors.I've recognised none of them.Hazel's department is supposed to resume working from this building today. A department I had moved here.I still couldn't believe I'd pulled that trick simply because I didn't want her working close to Jarvis.The building had more than enough space, so relocating the tech team wasn't difficult to justify. In fact, the management team had already discussed expanding their workspace before I interfered.I simply made the decision happen faster.I returned to my desk and tried to concentrate on work.Ten minutes late

HAZELJarvis stared at William for another second before walking away.He got into his car and drove out of the car park, leaving us standing there.I watched his car disappear through the gate.Good riddance.“Let's go. I'm famished already.”I reached for William's hand, hoping to release some of the tension Jarvis had dumped on us.William gave me a small smile.“Let's go.”We got into his car and drove out.For the first few minutes, everything seemed fine. Music played softly from the speakers, and I was already thinking about food.William, however, was unusually quiet.I turned to him.“You okay?”“Yeah.”That yeah wasn't convincing. I watched the road ahead.I could guess what was bothering him.Jarvis had said a lot of rubbish, but one particular part had clearly stuck. He's not even your spec.I should have shut that down immediately.William cleared his throat.“You know you can turn me into your spec, right?”I turned sharply.“What?”“Tell me what you want me to do.”“Wi

HAZEL“If you ever try this shit again, I will report you for sexual assault.”Jarvis's hand was still pressed against his cheek.I pointed at him.“Scratch that. I will wait for you after work and beat you blue-black. You do realise the kind of strength I possess, right? Going to prison made me tougher too, so don't test me.”The fear on his face was glaring.For his own sake, he'd better take this last warning seriously.This wasn't our first rodeo.Years ago, I had fought a man who intended to rip him off. Jarvis had seen me in action. He knew I wasn't one of those women who threatened people and went home to practise what she should have done in the mirror.I could fight, and I had very little patience left for him.When he finally removed his hand from his cheek, the side of his face where my palm landed had turned reddish.I scoffed.“Just one slap and you're blushing this much. Imagine if I punch you.”His mouth opened but he was too startled to say a word“Out.”He turned an

HAZEL “What? Hazel, you did what?” I brought my coffee mug closer to my lips and took a sip, buying myself time. Betty's eyes dropped to the necklace around my neck before returning to my face. “I said yes to William.” “I heard that part.” She put her mug on the kitchen counter. “I'm asking why.” I sighed. Last night, William had officially asked me to be his girlfriend. And when I say officially, I mean William had gone all out. Flower petals, candles, dinner, and enough romance to make me wonder when he'd found the time to arrange everything. It was beautiful. I just hadn't cared much about the decorations. My attention had been on the man standing in front of me, nervous despite already knowing I'd agreed to give us a chance. He'd still wanted to ask properly, and I'd said yes. The gold necklace around my neck had been his gift afterwards. Simple, delicate and expensive enough for me to complain when he put it on me. He hadn't listened. By the time we got home, Betty
