"Alva you do not have to do this please I beg you." Hazel pleaded, her hand gripping the edge of her seat.Alva shook her head with a sinsiter smile written on her face as he toyed with the kinde in her hand. "You can beg all you want my dear but I already explained this to you... I have to do this. there is no other way.""Alva... you are are so out of your mind!" Hazel wailed, tears brimming at her eyes."Watch it!" Alva yelled at her, tossing a slap across her face."Argh!" Hazel winced as the pain tore through her left check, tears brimming in her eyes. Alva shook her her had at her. "I told you already, you are the one who is tied up and I am the one who has a knife so if I were you I will be very careful about whatever I am doing." she warned.Hazel whimpered as she lowered her head to the ground. she reached out to the depth of her hear, calling for Luca. He might not be a human being, but he cared for her, that she was sure of, that was enough for her. That man cared for h
Luke paced back and forth. He was tracing out all the details of his plan in mind, doing his absolute best to leave no stone unturned in his mission. Luca was seated in a corner of the room, food and water hand not touched his moth since his wife went missing.They were begining to fear for his wellbeing. His eyes were droopy and he was barely talking to anyone. He seemed so out of touch with his current surroundings. So much that they all feared he was already losing his mind. He would not talk at all when spoken to and any food brought before him was quickly pushed or kicked away. They learned to leave him be for a while. "Will he be okay?" Laz asked as he gazed upon his brother, his heart was filled with pity for him. None of then had ever seen Luca this way before.He was always very strong.... Always very strong in every situation... Not even once had something like this occured to anyone in there lineage for a very long time. "I believe he will..." Luke breathed. "What
"Wake up!" It came with a loud splash of water upon her skin. Hazel woke with a loud scream, panting and out of breath she stared into the eyes of her would be killer. She felt tears well up in her eyes. That woman....that woman in that strange dream looked like her. A lot like her. It looked as though she was being shown something..... being told a story of something that could have very much have been a previous life. She wanted to stay there, she wanted to not wake up from it. She wanted to understand her connection to that strange woman."You have the audacity to fall unconscious do you not?" Alva sneered at her. "You will not sleep for a second under my watch Hazel Jacobs, not unless it is in your death!" Alva Rogers concluded. Hazel's eyes fell to the ground, she had no words to say.Her spirit was weak and her willingness to fight and beg was already melting away. Perhaps she was starting to realize... Starting to come to terms with the fact that she could not plead her
"Luke she is bleeding out... What do we do?" Luca stared frantically at Hazel, they had untied her and she was laying on the floor.Alva was in a corner in a pool of her own blood. So was Jace, and the demon.Luca had shifted back into a human, he carried Hazel in his arms, his heart beating frantically. He could feel her spirit fading... He could feel it in the depths of his heart. It caused him fear and panic to feel her slipping away. "I might have to bite her Luca... It is the only way." Luke breathed worriedly, "and if I do she would have Vampire venom in her, meaning she might no he able to bear you an heir."Luca stared at her on the ground where she was dying.He knew there was no time. It is now or never, he has to do something to save her. "Luke... Do whatever you can please, she is more important to me than anything in the world. I just want her to live." He begged. Luke nodded his head in understanding, he reached forward, taking her in his arms, he paused for a momen
"I choose her." Lucas declared.The entire room halted, absolutely astounded by the sudden declaration of the young heir. "You choose who?" Mrs Camilla Rogers stood from her chair, eyes wide with fury and disbelief. "I choose the servant." He declared again, his eyes unwavering and fixated upon the girl. Hazel squirmed uncomfortably under his gaze, her hands shaking, almost rattling the silver tray in her hands. It was clear she too was baffled, if not outraged by his declaration. But all she did was quiver timidly.Mr Rogers stood abruptly from his seat, almost tumbling with anger. "What do you mean you choose her? She is a servant! This is not what we agreed to! You are supposed to be engaged to our daughter!" Lucas turned to him, his face devoid of any emotion and his dark eyes stern yet calm. "I have changed my mind, Mr. Rogers, call off the engagement." "But... But she is just a mere servant." Alva cried out, "how can you choose her?"Lucas gave no answer as he rose from his
Hazel grabbed her shawl, wrapping it safely around her shoulders as she escorted her mistress out of the room."Hey, Hazel!"She turned at the sound of her name, and she came face to face with the head maid Majorie."Yes, ma'am?" She answered with a slight bow of her head. The head maid stretched out her hand, offering a basket. "Take this, we need more servants to carry the gifts, make sure you go help and hurry back here to help the other servants."Hazel took the basket from her, nodding. "Yes ma'am." She strut away in the directions of the entrance door. And at that very moment Lucas Rossi stepped into the mansion, his escorts trailing behind him.Time seemed to freeze upon the sight of that very man. Truly such a sight was a rare thing to behold, never had Hazel seen a man so handsome and perfectly cut and carved by the creator himself.His eyes, a dim grey color scanned his surroundings rapidly as he walked in, as if he could sense her presence even before he saw her, and as h
"What are you not telling me Hazel?" The mistress demanded, glaring daggers at Hazel. She remained kneeling on the floor, shuddering under the angry glare of her madame. "Nothing ma'am, I am hiding nothing from you, I have no idea why he chose me." She pleaded. How was she to know? She had never seen Mr Rossi before today nor had she spoken to him prior to the incident where she bumped into him. She too was too baffled and bewildered by his picking of her. Over Alva! He must be insane, not only had he caused chaos in the household now, but he had also endangered her job, and possibly her life."Lies." She hissed, sending a harsh slap across her face. Hazel whimpered, the sting rang through her, causing her to cup her cheeks and wince. "I am not lying." She cried, "please believe me ma'am."But she wouldn't listen to her one bit, she was too blinded by her fit of rage. She would not allow her daughter's reputation be destroyed by this stupid maid. All the announcements that had been
The rain poured down in torrents, like the gods above could feel Hazel’s anger, it drenched her completely as she stood there outside the Rossi mansion with nowhere to go. How could Lucas Rossi be so cruel? She would never dream of marrying a man like him, ever!Hazel did not turn around to leave, she stayed there and let the rain continue to shower her.Her clothes stuck to her like a second skin, and waves of cold ran down her spine as she shivered, long brown hair matted unto her face. Her breathing shortened and she begun to quiver slowly, cursing herself for not bringing an umbrella.Give up, she thought to herself, that man is a psycho, he isn’t sending anyone to save you.She didn’t listen to herself though, even as the clouds grew dark and evening approached, it hadn’t stopped raining. And still, Hazel stood there, cold, shivering and drenched. It only took a few more minutes for her to fall her to knees, passing out on the cold concrete floor.Luca Rossi had always been a man
