LOGINWhat happens when Hazel finds herself sold to a man whose mysterious identity she cannot uncover? At first it seemed that she had left her hellhole to a place of Paradise until she realized that he had actually bought her to use her to revive his dead mother. It is too late to turn back, let alone make her heart stop loving this unscrupulous yet irresistibly tempting man. What will Hazel do?
View MoreIn a luxurious mansion, sunlight streamed through the windows, casting warm rays into the opulent bedroom where Isabella rubbed her eyes and woke up from her slumber. She lazily stretched, glancing at the clock and realizing it was already noon. It was her second day back from her trip, and her body still felt exhausted, hence the late wake-up. Her phone displayed numerous missed calls and messages.
"Isabella! Where are you?" "Oh my goodness, did you forget about today's audition?" "Isabella, please hurry! I'm desperate!!!" ...
A series of messages furrowed Isabella's brow. They were all from her agent, Ava Roberts. Was there an audition today? Just as Isabella was wondering, Ava's call came through.
"Isabella, when you signed with me, you promised to take your acting career seriously, and now you're not showing up for today's audition! Are you trying to drive me crazy?" Ava's voice came through the phone, sharp and irritable.
Isabella slightly furrowed her brows and moved the phone away from her ear, responding, "Wasn't the audition scheduled for the day after tomorrow?"
"I sent you a text two days ago, and we rescheduled the audition for today! Did you forget?"
"Sorry, I genuinely forgot," Isabella recalled that when Ava messaged her two days ago, she was at a bar, having drinks with her good friends, and the matter slipped her mind.
"Are you kidding me?"
"It's just an audition, and you have a good relationship with the director, right? We can reschedule it. Anyway, I have other things to take care of. Goodbye." Isabella didn't want to listen to Ava's nagging anymore, so she hung up and leisurely headed towards the bathroom.
In front of the mirror stood a stunning woman with tousled hair, still radiating her captivating face and slender figure. Isabella, at the age of 22, was a natural beauty that would catch anyone's eye.
Isabella took a shower in the bathroom and then went to the walk-in closet, changing into the latest fashionable dress of the season. She proceeded to the dining room, where her elder brother Benjamin Turne and her younger brother Alexander Turne were present. Both men were dressed in suits, showcasing the remarkable genes of the Turner family.
Noticing that both of them seemed to be in a sour mood, Isabella asked, "What's wrong with you two?"
Benjamin looked at Alexander with a slight smile on his face. "It's Valentine's Day today, and Alexander planned to confess to Olivia Johnson, but somehow she heard the news from somewhere and found him last night, saying she likes someone else."
Isabella and Alexander were fraternal twins who enjoyed teasing each other since childhood. Upon hearing this, she immediately laughed and said, "So, it's your turn today!"
"Isabella! Don't revel in my misfortune!" Alexander's tone clearly showed his displeasure. It was quite amusing that he had known Olivia for a few months, and she made it clear yesterday that she had always seen him as just a good friend.
Reluctantly admitting it, Alexander was indeed handsome, and Isabella couldn't help but ask, "So, who does Olivia like if she doesn't even like you?"
"The CEO of the Adams family enterprise, Ethan Adams," Benjamin said.
"Didn't Ethan Adams snatch away several of Benjamin's business projects?" Alexander grew angrier as he pondered, "Ethan Adams is the biggest enemy of our Turne family!"
Isabella had been studying and was unaware of Ethan Adams until now. Sipping her juice, she smiled faintly, "He might be your enemy, but don't drag the Turne family into it." After saying that, Isabella's phone rang. It was Ava calling, and she hesitated for two seconds before answering.
"Isabella, you're done for! I just contacted the director. He saw your photos and thought they were good, so he tried to arrange a meeting with an investor. However, the investor doesn't want to give you another chance and said that someone who can't even be punctual for an audition can't be relied upon."
Isabella nonchalantly asked, "Who is the investor for this movie?"
"Ethan Adams."
"Alright, I understand," Isabella responded calmly and hung up the phone.
Benjamin and Alexander noticed Isabella's displeased expression. "Oh my, what's wrong with my dear sister?" Alexander's tone became mocking.
Isabella gave him a sharp look and turned to Benjamin. "Benjamin, tell me more about Ethan Adams."
Then, Isabella learned about Ethan Adams from Benjamin. Ethan Adams was the heir of the Adams family enterprise and the current CEO. At the young age of 20, Ethan took over the vast business empire of the Adams family. After assuming control, he swiftly eliminated all obstacles and secured numerous major projects within just three years. The family business had expanded globally. This man was known for his decisive actions, ruthless methods, and meticulous planning.
"Benjamin, do you have a photo of him?" Isabella inquired.
Benjamin said he didn't have one but asked curiously, "Isabella, why are you so curious about Ethan Adams?"
Leaning on her chin, Isabella sighed and responded, "I recently got involved with a movie, but I mistakenly remembered the audition time. He is the investor for this film and doesn't plan to give me another chance."
After listening, Alexander burst into laughter. "Let me tell you! It's good that you were late. Just entering the entertainment industry and wanting to play the lead role? Instead, you should stay at home and be a couch potato. Don't go out and embarrass yourself."
Isabella gave him a disdainful look and then decided to showcase her true abilities. She picked up her phone and began searching for information about Ethan Adams.
Hazel.Suddenly, the Beta of the Whales Pack was on fire. The dinner hall was thrown in disarray. While everyone scurried about trying to help the Beta, Lucian calmly continued with his food like nothing was happening.I moved with the maids and so did Kelly and Ana. We helped put off the fire however the Beta's handsome face was terribly destroyed, even his skin.He was taken away by the Whales guards leaving the Alpha shivering on his seat.I stared at Logan. He was just as surprised as everyone in the room and the look in his eyes showed that he's grown even more afraid of Lucian.I wonder what must have happened that Lucian gained such power. How much more can he possibly do?With this new aura of his, Logan and the entire kingdom beneath him can never stand a chance. All that is needed, is for Lucian to regain his memory and remember his people.Logan regained his composure, although his expression still showed that he was shocked by Lucian's brutality. He turned to the Alpha of
Hazel.I could not stop pacing back and forth. My mind was in total disarray."So he really does not remember you??" Kelly who was on the bed spoke, "How is that even possible?? You are his wife.""He's been under that pile of earth for days, Kelly." Anastasia explained, "Plus he's not a human like us. His memory loss is probably the repercussions of coming back alive or having been buried for days." "But there has to be a way to bring back his memory," Kelly suggested, "If Lucian fails to regain his memory we are doomed."Anastasia shrugged."Will you stop pacing, Hazel?" Kelly pleaded but I couldn't bring myself to.I couldn't tell her that by tomorrow, she would never see me again. How could I tell her that I am going to be beheaded under orders from my own husband?"Lucian remembered only a piece of his memory," I told them, "But only when I appeared before him.""But you said he hurt you?" Kelly chipped in."Yes because he regained only vague parts of where I'd stabbed him." I e
Hazel.I got news that Lucian was awake. Out of excitement, I didn't think twice before running down to the Pack healer.However, she said Lucian was on a tour with the Alpha as he doesn't remember anything. My breath hitched."He...he doesn't remember anything?" I couldn't believe it. It felt as if a knife was pushed into my chest.The Pack healer nodded, "I think it's the aftermath of being buried for days.""Well..is it possible for him to regain his memory?""I really cannot say, Hazel." she replied, "He seemed fine to me despite having been underground for days. I could not even detect his memory loss until he woke up and couldn't remember a thing."I heaved a distraught sigh. How could this be? I wondered as tears pricked my eyes. All of Lucian's Pack members are currently in the dungeon. My stepmother is on the run. Kelly and Anastasia are treated as slaves and I..I am betrothed to Logan.News of Lucian's re-birth gave us hope. But now with the loss of his memory, our hope has
Logan."He's awake," I turned to my beta, "Get Henry here immediately." I did not immediately go into the room. If Lucian is awake and considering how he'd crawled out of that grave then my life is in danger.In few minutes, Henry arrived as perplexed as I am."Tell me it's not true." he said but I gave a weary chuckle."We tried to stop him but this man was not hurt by the bullets," I told him.He looked at me, "What are we going to do?""Kill him of course," I answered, "But the Pack healer says he's awake. Let's take a look."Henry nodded and followed me into the room. We found Lucian seated as still as a tree on the bed. He had this commanding aura that is hard to explain.I tried to read his thoughts but I couldn't get through. The only thing loud enough for me was his heartbeat, steady. For someone buried for three days, I didn't think that was normal.He lifted his head up suddenly and spoke, "Where am I and who are you?" I and Henry exchanged gaze."You..you don't remember?
Hazel."Wait." I stopped abruptly in my tracks. My heart slammed against my ribcage as one of the guards walked towards me."Turn around." he ordered and I obeyed, slowly turning around while lowering my eyes."You look taller," he observed and then turned back to the other guard, "Don't you think so?"The guard by the door hissed, "Stop being a jerk, Eli. Let the maid go do her work."I bowed and then hastily left the passage with the tray in my hand. I walked outside the Pack house towards the dungeon and took a deep breath as I approached several other guards."The prisoners already had lunch," one of the guards said, "Who asked you to bring this?"I stuttered, "T-the Alpha."The guards gazed at each other but knew better than to question Logan's orders. They opened the dungeon and let me through, shutting it behind me.I turned my cape over and increased my pace, checking each cell."Alicia?" I whispered, loud enough for her to hear me but then again I remembered that she got whi
Hazel.This has to be a dream. It's... it's not possible. I ran out of the verandah and down the stairs, hitting anyone on the way.I didn't care at how they stared at me. All I cared about is that my Lucian is outside and I was really praying that it's not a stupid dream.I arrived outside and found the men still standing shocked while Lucian simply stared at his surroundings like he had no idea where he is.Logan finally found his guard. He cursed himself for looking weak in front of his beta and pack."Grab him!" he ordered and both of the men stepped forward, picking their steps one by one. They stopped abruptly when Lucian began to walk towards them.I couldn't understand why he looked lost and why isn't he attacking? Logan was clearly trembling when Lucian stopped in front of him. The men he'd asked to grab him, held their guns, shaking."Where am I?" Lucian whispered before falling unconscious at Logan's feet.I sucked in air as I ran to where Lucian lay. I held his face in my
