CHAPTER 44
Hazel Quin's
We were having the best out of us, wild and free under the spell of alcohol, dancing without thinking of anything and anyone through the party lights flashing different shades of hue, and through the loud stereo blasting loud party music as everyone rocked with it. I was out of my mind, I knew that. But I wasn't giving a damn as I was enjoying, I was living one of the best and wild nights out of me.
I didn't know what was happening anymore, I couldn't see Geraldine and Len anymore because we were moving around the dance floor as we danced with everyone. Even so, I didn't mind it and continued getting lost in Night Play.
The night goes deeper and deeper until I was totally lost, then I felt hands touch my waist, and instantly, I knew it wasn't Caleb. I wasn't feeling anything even when the hand started moving up my body, unlike to Caleb's touches where I would instantly feel something, the connection, the bond connecting the two of us.<

Caleb Craige's"I'm sorry, Caleb.""I'm sorry, mom.""I'm sorry for being a failure.""I'm sorry for ruining your life.""I'm sorry for being a mess."A sigh made its way out of my lungs as I laid Hazel on our bed. She was now asleep but she was talking and still apologizing, mumbling something every five minutes or so would pass. I stood straight and went to the bathroom to ready a basin, a water that came fresh from the faucet, and a towel to wipe her body.When I have everything that I needed for cleaning her, I walked into our walk-in closet to choose comfortable clothes for her. She didn't even have the chance to drink even just a glass of water because she fell asleep after crying for an hour while she was in my arms. She was blaming herself for what happened.But then, as I've told her, it was my choice to follow them there because I knew that whatever they did might backfire on them. It was also my choice

Caleb Craige'sIt was already late when I woke the next day from my deep slumber. Hazel was still sleeping beside me, I would understand if she would wake up late with her head spinning. The drink they had was probably still on her system right now, from her smell, I could say that they took Tequilla. It would pass as a strong drink for someone who's not used to drinking like Hazel. Then, if the bartender mixed something strong in the Tequilla, I wouldn't be surprised if she would vomit when she woke up.Kissing her forehead, I stepped out of the bed and headed to the bathroom to take a morning shower. And to make sure that I would wake up for real, I turned the shower cold and I shivered as the water poured on me, almost freezing me.A sigh of relief escaped my lungs when I was done dressing up for this day. The remnants of last night were gone and I knew a cup of black coffee would complete it. I was trying hard to forget the face of the bastard

Caleb Craige'sMirna smiled at my words, tears were pooling at the corner of her eyes. She sniffed to suppress them and took a deep breath, then stood up and poured herself a glass of water. After gulping it down, I was expecting that she would be back professional but I was surprised when she walked towards me and hugged me from the side.And because I was surprised, I was immobile for a while, didn't know what to do. Mirna was the type of person who doesn't show her affection too often especially with our setup, she rarely does this. But then after about two minutes, my arms moved to hug her back."Mirna, are you being soft now?" I joked which earned a chuckle and a playful slap from her at my arms."I'm still your strict assistant and aunt, Caleb. Just give me this time because I am glad that you are seeing things differently now and that you have a direction now. I guess I have to thank Hazel soon,""Thank me from what?"Ou

Hazel Quin's"You mean our interview would be scripted?""Not totally scripted, we would just choose what to tell the public while making sure it would satisfy them.""And how sure are you that it would work?"The smile on his lips then turned into a smirk, "Simply because that's what I've been doing for all these years now whenever the press is sticking their nose to my personal life."Instantly, questions started coming one by one in my head and each one needed to be answered out of curiosity and confusion. All of it has something to do with him and my previous plan— the ridiculous plan I had to learn to forget when we were in Maldives. And now, questions regarding that plan with what he said started bombarding my head.Questions that needed to be answered as per my journalism persona, my mouth and mind were dying to ask. But I wasn't just a journalist and I wasn't on duty now, I was a girlfriend who needed to respect h

"I like you the way you are when I met you. But if you have to be fierce and bolder to protect yourself, then so bet it, baby. I don't mind, you are still my beloved anyway. And if you need back up, your boyfriend is here, I'm just here, okay?"Those words brought a smile to my face. I was really lucky to have him, my decision to resign on CBNews and apply as his secretary was one of the best decisions I've made. Although it was because of my plan before, at least, it changed and now I am having the best of him, enjoying his love and everything that he could offer.Now, I was smiling alone in the living room as I read my journalism modules again. Caleb has gone into the company since he needed to attend to the workload waiting for him in Craige Inc. when we went to Maldives for our week vacation. He was packed with back-to-back meetings and documents to review and then we were scheduled to meet Mr. Zamora later for the press conference regarding our trend

The meeting place was in Caleb's office. It was supposed to be on the restaurant on the ground floor of the building, but then, there were still reporters waiting outside. They weren't as many as before but we would still have a hard time getting away from them once they see us. Surely, they would be completely gone after a week of not getting anything from us unless Stephanie would do something about it again and that's what she would do for sure after what happened last night.Besides, with the press conference that we would have with ZNA TV, they would still try to get something from us. That wouldn't be a problem anymore then, we would just wait till the fire dies. And then I could start with my new job in ZNA TV which we would also talk about tonight.Henri's team would escort me on the way to Craige Inc. as per Caleb's instructions to them. Since the day we came back here and the press started bombarding us, the security team was now always escortin

There were still reporters in front of Craige Inc.'s building as well and when they saw the LaFerrari where I was in, they started running in our direction, their cameras and microphones ready. But then, we headed to the parking lot and it was heavily guarded, only the employees of Craige Inc. were allowed to come in.Like gentlemen, they opened the car door for me and I stepped out of the car. A small smile was on my lips as I roamed my eyes around the parking lot and the exclusive spot for Caleb's cars. I felt deja vu upon remembering my first day here and I brought my Toyota. It looked so small and cheap compared to Caleb's LaFerarri.And as for my Toyota's being, I sell it on a second-hand car shop and saved the fund on my bank account for emergency purposes. Caleb lend me one of his expensive cars, so, I didn't need my old Toyota anymore."Elmar will come up with you, Ma'am. You two will be met up by our colleagues who were now up, guarding Mr

The two of them were still surprised with my sudden determination, until now, they couldn't still believe that I decided to take the press conference now, hence here we are, getting ready on one of ZNA TV's studios. Mr. Zamora came with us and personally led the preparation to make sure that everything would go smoothly and accordingly.Holding the prepared script for us, I read the lines again. Mr. Zamora and Caleb already talked about this, hence Mr. Zamora was able to prepare the script sooner. It wasn't literally a script of what we would say, just the chosen questions that the reporters of ZNA TV would ask us. This was what Caleb was talking about, he controls what would come out to the public and what would stay with him, he controls what to let the public see and know."Sir, we will now post our teaser for your press conference."Caleb nodded to the staff who informed us about the teaser release, we would start one and half hours from now.
