Chapter 7 The Bet Comes Due

Author: Spicy Clams
Waylon Pax came to pick me up soon after.

At my insistence, my parents also moved to Harborview that same night.

Outside City Hall, Waylon asked me again, "Are you sure about this?"

I nodded firmly.

Years ago, when he learned that Dawson wanted to start his own business, Waylon had reached out to me. I turned him down.

Later, I went back to him for an investment, and we made a bet.

Five years. Would Dawson marry me or not?

If I lost, I would marry Waylon.

I believed in what Dawson and I

    "Can you stop bothering me, Dawson? Have some dignity."I had had enough, so I called Liam right in front of him. "Mr. Jackson, please deal with your son-in-law and tell him to stop bothering me. You know my husband isn't as easy to reason with as I am."Dawson went still, his hand falling to his side.His eyes were bloodshot, and tears suddenly welled up.I felt nothing. If anything, I found it almost laughable."Dawson, haven't I waited for you long enough? You're the one who brought us here. I don't love you anymore. Don't bother me again. I love Waylon now."After that, Dawson never came looking for me again.I started hearing the gossip coming out of Riverport.Lynn miscarried and became increasingly unstable. Desperate to keep Dawson's attention, she repeatedly attempted suicide and had to be rushed to the hospital.The Jackson family became the talk of Riverport. Before long, people began digging up rumors about what had happened between Dawson and me years ago.Everyo

    That night after the wedding, Waylon suddenly brought up the bet. "I never really wanted to make you part of the bet. I just wanted you to give me a chance."His eyes darted away. "But once I realized Dawson could make you lose the bet, I figured I had to make my move first. You never know what might happen if you wait too long.""It's okay. I'm happy with how things turned out."I meant it.Walking away from a relationship that had already rotted away had been painful, but I had finally let it go.There was nothing left for me to hold on to. My conscience was clear, and people had to move forward eventually.Besides, I could feel how good Waylon was to me.I repeated myself. "Really. I'm happy with how things are now. I'm happy I married you."Waylon's ears turned red, and he suddenly could not look me in the eye.Later, Waylon insisted on taking me to Sapphire Bay for our honeymoon. After that, he insisted we take a trip to Nordhaven, too.Our feelings for each other grew f

    I was surprised when Dawson suddenly appeared in front of me.He grabbed my wrist, looking almost frantic. "Hazel, it really is you. What are you doing here?"I pulled my hand free and frowned at the couple.Lynn's face went pale, but she sneered. "You really are something. I can't believe you actually made it to Harborview."She no longer bothered pretending she did not know me."What are you doing in a place like this? Working as a server? Or did you become some old man's mistress?"People nearby turned to look.Dawson pressed his lips together, waiting for my answer too.I said calmly, "You're not welcome here.""Who are you kidding? You're a slut who spends all day seducing other women's husbands. You're the one who doesn't belong here…"Lynn had been spoiled rotten. She lunged forward in anger and reached for my hair.Before she could even touch me, a hard slap sent her stumbling sideways.She was pregnant, and Dawson hurried to steady her, worry flashing across his fa

With the five-year deadline approaching, I decided to propose to him before he could propose to me.Instead, he proposed. Just not to me.What I never expected was that Waylon had actually waited this long.I hesitated for a moment before finally asking the question that had been on my mind. "Why me?"Given my family background, I was not exactly a match for Waylon. But the Pax family did not care about that.Waylon smiled at me. "There doesn't have to be a reason. Sometimes you just c

  • Love Never Saw The Dawn   Chapter 6 Gone Without a Trace

    The wedding kept Dawson busy, and by the time he saw Hazel's message, ten hours had already passed.Dawson froze.After ten years together, they were already a part of each other. How could they possibly separate?Besides, he loved Hazel.Dawson immediately called her."I'm sorry, but the number you dialed is not in service…"Impossible. How could this be?Dawson hurriedly called his assistant."Mr. Reed, I followed your instructions and took Ms. Autumns to the hospital. The doctor said she has to stay."Dawson hung up and got to his feet."Where are you going? Are you crazy? Where are you going on our wedding night?"Lynn went up to him, stunned. "You're going to find that bitch Hazel, aren't you, Dawson? Get back here!"Dawson walked away without looking back.He drove like a maniac to the hospital his assistant had mentioned. But the room was empty. Shredded pieces of a check were scattered across the floor.Hazel was gone.She had always been considerate and understa

    Dawson was silent for a moment before answering quietly, "Hazel, I have to marry Lynn."Suddenly, his phone buzzed. He glanced at the message, and his expression changed instantly.He grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the guest bedroom. "Lynn suddenly came over. Stay in here for a while. If you go downstairs now, you'll run into her.""No. I'm leaving…"Dawson lost his patience. He was much stronger than me and easily shoved me into the guest bedroom.He pulled out a rope used for intimate games and tied me to a chair.I was already injured and running a fever. I could not fight him off.He wound the rope around me again and again, then softened his voice as he tried to soothe me."Come on. After all these years, there's no way we're breaking up. Besides, no one else would want you. You carried my child. No one is going to want a woman who's lost a child."My lips trembled as I stared at him in disbelief.I had not planned to get pregnant. That year, I had come to Riverport
