View MoreI devoted ten years of my life to the only man I've ever loved, my ex-fiancé, Zane Whitmoore.
Since our eighth grade in middle school, I was always by his side. I shaped myself into the perfect woman for him.
I kept my black curls cut short, just the way he liked. I never wore makeup. I dressed in outfits he approved of because he didn't like when other men looked at me.
For ten years, I did everything he wanted. I was going to be his wife. Everyone knew we were meant to be.
So it made no sense when, six months ago, he threw it all away.
"What did you say?" My voice was barely above a whisper.
Zane stared at me across the restaurant table, his expression unreadable. I had made this reservation months ago for our ten-year anniversary.
"I think we should break up," he said.
I blinked. My heart pounded in my chest. "Zane, is this supposed to be a joke? Because it's not funny, babe."
"I'm not joking, Emilia."
"No, you have to be joking!" My voice rose slightly, and I glanced around. People were staring. I took a deep breath and reached for his hands across the table. My engagement ring still sat on my finger. I had never wanted to take it off. Not even now.
"We just started planning the wedding," I said, keeping my voice steady. "I know it's stressful, but that's why I've been doing most of the work."
He didn't respond.
"If it's too much, we can push it back," I added, even though the words felt like poison. We had already delayed it for years. But if that's what it took to keep us together, I would do it in a heartbeat. "I don't want you to feel pressured."
Zane exhaled sharply. "Then you don't want me to marry you? Because that's something I don't want to do, Emilia."
His words hit like a slap. My chest tightened. "You don't mean that."
"But I do." His voice was firm. Cold. Nothing like the man I fell in love with. "I don't love you anymore. I haven't for years."
I stopped breathing.
"I stayed because I know how much I owe you," he admitted. "But I can't put you over my happiness anymore."
"Relationships go through tough times. We just have to work-"
Zane pulled his hand from mine and ran it through his hair. He had always been handsome. He had light brown hair, golden-brown eyes, and a smile that could make anyone melt. I knew I was lucky to have him.
He could have had any girl.
But he chose me.
That had to mean something. People don't just throw ten years away.
But he wasn't smiling at me now. He was scowling. He stood, dusting his hand on his thigh like my touch was something dirty.
"I don't want to work on anything. Not with you." His voice was flat. "It's been ten years, Emmy. If we were meant to be, wouldn't we have gotten married by now?"
The nickname stung. I stared down at my plate. "The only reason we're not married yet is because you had to focus on your career-"
"No." His tone was sharp. "It's because I never saw you as someone I could marry."
The words hit like a punch to the stomach.
"You might be someone's cup of tea, but not mine, Emilia. And besides, most NHL athletes don't get married. But you wouldn't understand that."
I did understand. I didn't want to go my whole life without being someone's wife. But for him, I would have tried.
"Don't cause a scene, Zane. There might be reporters here."
He chuckled. "You've always been a pushover, haven't you?" He leaned in slightly. "But I did love you when we were younger. Because of that, you can keep the engagement ring. I don't want it back."
He turned to leave, then glanced over his shoulder. "Oh, and we can't live together anymore. You get that, right? I'm a free man now. I should be able to bring m
y hookups to my own fucking house."
He smirked. "Leave the key in the flower pot."
Then he walked away.
And just like that, he took my life with him.
Hazel’s Point of View We spent the rest of the day in a blur, and fortunately, I did not set my eyes on Ovian. My days seem to be a little better. The night soon fell. Emma led me to the dining hall. I badly wanted to decline going there but I ate nothing in the afternoon. Which made my stomach grumble a lot. As we passed by some maids, they erupted into laughter as if they just saw something funny. They made it obvious that they were laughing at me. “She had no shame. How could she walk around with her disgusting hair” The maid’s voice was low but I clearly heard what she said. “I wondered why the Alpha chose someone like her as a bride. Humans are very much better than someone like her” the other snorted. “If I am here, I would just go and die” The first maid yelled and the two erupted into laughter. I clenched my fist tightly, my nails dug in my palms. How dare they! They did not bother even to lower their voices, this clearly shows they were doing it intentionally. After a
Hazel’s Point of View “I think you should both get a room.” Ovian spat out coldly “Showing off your lovey-dovey ear won't help the matter.”His cold and terrifying voice rang through the room, sending shivers down my spine. I quickly let go of the guy instantly. My face was flushed. I was both scared and embarrassed at the same time.“ It is… it is…not what you think.” I stuttered. I found it hard to complete a sentence. Just then, Xander's arm suddenly wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer. The temperature in the hall dropped so low instantly. Ovian gazed darkened. His eyes were bloodshot. “What do you think you are doing?” Ovian thundered, his voice echoing through the hall.“ Since you said we should both get a room, I think we will just do that,” Xander said, an annoying smirk playing on his lips.“ Let's go Of her this instance,” he said calmly. His voice was low but menacing.Xander did not let go of me. Instead, he pulled me closer till there was no space between us.
Hazel’s Point of View “Do you know what happened to anybody that dared to disobey me?” His cold voice rang through the room sending shivers down my spine. My body trembled all over. I did not reply. And I couldn't look at him in the eyes as well. He was exuding a chilly aura. With a touch of danger. “ No.” I stated, “I won't take back the rejection. I don't want to. I don't want to be here.” I said tears welling up in my eyes, threatening to fall. “ Acting Stubborn, hub?” He asked, moving his face even closer. Our lips were barely an inch apart. My heart picked race again and started beating rapidly. “Well, I love stubborn bunnies.” He added. The evil smirk on his face returned. He suddenly lifted me off the ground. A gasp escaped my lips. He threw me on the bed violently. My body bounced back. Before I even had the time to escape, he suddenly pounced on me, pinning my hands over my head. I struggled to break free from him, but it was all futile. He raised my dress till
Hazel’s Point of View A gasp escaped my lips as his hand moved to my thigh, lifting my dress with a slow, deliberate touch. “Stop, please!” I screamed in my head, but no words left my mouth. My body betrayed me, responding to every touch—I didn’t want this. I don’t want to do this His mouth brushed my ear, teeth grazing gently. I bit my lower lip, forcing back the moan that threatened to escape. I shivered. “Please… let me go.” The words came out broken, and my voice was barely a whisper. He chuckled—cold, empty. It wasn’t amusement; it was a warning. A death sentence. My heart pounded. His hand slid to my breast and squeezed gently. My knees buckled. I bit down harder, swallowing the sound rising in my throat. As if he could hear my thoughts, he suddenly released me. For a second, I stood there, stunned. Then instinct took over—I scrambled to my feet, backing away, breath hitching. “Thank you—” I started, but then his voice cracked through the silence like a whip. “Stri
Hazel’s Point of View “Since she offends you. What punishment would you like to give her? Should I order the guards to pull her hair from her scalp till there was not even a single strand left?” He asked and I widened my eyes in shock.This punishment is so scary. I can’t even imagine that being done to me. But come to think of that girl is not even a good person. She deserves it.“Ovian, you can’t do that to me. She picked a fight with me first. I’m telling the truth, " she begged. “Please forgive me,” she begged, tears streaming down her face.“ You offended her not me, so why begging me?” He growled “I will give whatever punishment she wants”She suddenly ran to me like a mad woman and grabbed my hand.“ Hazel please forgive me. That will never happen again. I don’t want to go bald. No one will marry a bald woman” She cried bitterly.Hmph, so you know that’s and still go ahead to make me bald. She is just a great liar as well and still has the nerve to beg for my forgiveness. Hmp
Hazel’s Point of View “Hey white-haired birch, where do you think you are going “ I turned around swiftly, surprised to find Lyra standing behind me. A few maids were standing behind her as well. She was staring at me with so much hatred in her eyes. I did not even do anything wrong to her. Today would be the first time I'm setting my eyes on her. Why hold grudges unnecessarily?Emma suddenly walked to my side. She had a nervous look on her face. She moved closer to me till there was no gap between us. She whispered to me, “Try to avoid her. She's a pain in the neck.”I nodded in reply. I am not a troublesome type, and I can't turn to one because of her. “Let's go, “ I said to Emma and she nodded in agreement.Just as we walked past her, she yelled at me, “Are you deaf? Aren’t you the one I am talking to?”I stopped in my tracks instantly. I moved my gaze to her and flashed her a smile. Of course, it was a fake smile. The smile did not reach my eyes. “Miss Lyra, all you need now is
