HAZEL

I sat silent on the bed, staring at the door long after he left. The room still carried traces of him. His scent. His warmth. The tension he always seemed to leave behind whenever he walked away from me.

And somehow that made everything worse. Because no matter how cold or ruthless he was, no matter how much distance he forced between us at the end, I had seen him tonight.

Not the Don. Not the ruthless man everyone feared. I had seen a new part of Axel that I had never seen before.

I just wish the story would progress to something less redundant. It’s a good read but starting to feel loopy

The story is going in circles.

I'm really loving this story but it really is moving so slowly. We're like a million chapters in and I genuinely had to struggle to remember who Harris was. We still are also no closer to figuring out why she's a captive!

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Family

    HAZEL Then Axel continued typing again.“You overthink too much,” he replied.That wasn’t an answer..... Which meant it was a yes. Something warm and strange twisted in my chest.Like he knew I would come looking for him.Like he was ready for me.Like he thought about me.And maybe that was the moment that Axel saw the hopeful look in my eyes....or maybe he just saw me smiling and decided he didn’t want me to, because then he added flatly,“When Cassio isn’t home, I always know I’m not getting any sleep. That was for me.”Just like that, the feeling crashed as Cold water poured all over me. I quickly shoved whatever emotions I was starting to feel back down where they belonged.How dare he? He was so infuriating.One second he pulls me close enough to make me think maybe there’s something real between us, and the next he reminds me exactly who he is.I sat down slowly on the couch, pulling the blanket onto my lap while glaring daggers at him. Maybe I should m be thankful he did that

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Nothing Romantic

    HAZEL My confusion deepened when we reached the stairs and he started heading downstairs.“Where are we going?” I asked again, this time more suspiciously because I knew there weren't any bedrooms down here. Not inside the main house anyway. Maybe the staff quarters. Maybe the guards' side. But definitely not here.Still, he said nothing. And the longer he stayed silent, the more nervous I became. I dragged my feet slightly behind him, my mind already spiralling into worst-case scenarios.Maybe he was angry I had even asked to sleep beside him. Maybe this was punishment. Maybe he was about to humiliate me for it.By the time we reached the bottom of the stairs, I stopped walking completely. Axel continued toward the left hallway before finally noticing my footsteps had disappeared. He stopped and looked back at me.“You're not coming?”“Not until you tell me where you're taking me,” I said firmly.That earned me a tired smile.“I thought you trusted me to keep you away from bad guys,

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Sleep Here

    HAZEL I swallow, licking my lips, playing with my hands, looking for a way to say it, finding a better idea.“I don't have all day,” he continues when he sees that I'm not saying anything. “With everything that's happened tonight, I have a lot of work to do. Cassio is still in my territory who knows where, doing who knows what. And I have a lot of shit to deal with, and the last thing I wanna do is deal with your shit right now.”The words hit harder than they should have. Maybe because only a little while ago he had been inside me, holding me like I was something precious. And now he was back to this..... Cold, Sharp and Distant. Like he regretted every second of it.I looked down at my hands, suddenly feeling stupid for even coming here in the first place.“I know,” I said quietly. “I know you didn't ask me to come here.”“Then why are you here?” he snapped immediately.My throat tightened because I was scared. Because after tonight, after the blood and the bodies and the gunshots,

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    At The Door

    HAZEL I sat silent on the bed, staring at the door long after he left. The room still carried traces of him. His scent. His warmth. The tension he always seemed to leave behind whenever he walked away from me.And somehow that made everything worse. Because no matter how cold or ruthless he was, no matter how much distance he forced between us at the end, I had seen him tonight.Not the Don. Not the ruthless man everyone feared. I had seen a new part of Axel that I had never seen before. Out of control.Angry. Exhausted. Betrayed. And maybe.... just for a moment.....afraid.I hated that I noticed that. I hated even more that I cared. With a frustrated groan, I pulled the sheets tighter around myself before finally forcing my body to move. I stood slowly, my legs still weak, my mind even worse.The mirror across the room caught my reflection as I passed it. My makeup was ruined, my hair was a mess And my eyes, My eyes looked completely different from the girl who had gotten dressed ea

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    You Need To Stop

    HAZEL That did it.Asher pulled back just enough to look at me. His expression had changed again. Not angry.Not cold. But guarded. Careful. Like whatever had just passed between us wasn’t something he was willing to acknowledge out loud.“It wasn’t supposed to,” he said finally.His voice was lower now. Rougher and Honest in a way he didn’t usually allow.I searched his face. “Then what was this?” I asked.For a second... He didn’t answer. His gaze dropped, then came back to mine And something flickered there. Something real, Something unguarded, before it disappeared again.“Don’t overthink it,” he said.The words were familiar to my ears.I let out a small breath, almost a laugh, but without humour.“You always say that,” I whispered.“Because you always do,” he replied.But this time, it didn’t feel like an argument, It felt like avoidance. Silence settled between us again, but the silence this time, wasn’t the same as before. This one wasn’t sharp, wasn’t tense. It was… uncert

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    This

    HAZEL We both stare into each other's eyes, as Axel presses his lips with a smile just above my belly button. I moan loudly, wishing he would move faster. I think he’s taking it overly slow on purpose. The swell of my breasts begins to release as they are freed from their confines. Axel leans over giving each one a gentle kiss. My hands slide into his hair with every hope of holding him still. His husky chuckle vibrates against my skin as he sinks lower and lower. He stops at the top of my waistband. His fingers are now in a delicate dance, giving me the impression he’s debating whether he should or shouldn’t remove them. I arch my back up so he can slide them past my hips and down to my thighs. Axel takes the material down a fraction at a time, taking careful, slow movements until he reaches my toes. The cool rush of air in the room sends a chill over my whole body. I reach my hands back to grip the headboard and settle my body deep into the mattress. “I’m all yours,” I whis

    HAZELAxel slid his phone into his pocket. Then turned his head toward me.“You didn’t pick up your phone.”I blinked.“What phone?”“I was calling you,” he said calmly, as if I were the crazy one. “To tell you to get ready. You weren’t picking up.”I stared at him, completely confused.“I… don’t h

    HAZELAxel didn’t look at me again. He just turned back to his phone as if the conversation was finished on his end and there was nothing else to talk about.The phone he gave me felt cold and heavy in my hands. I stared at it like it was a snake about to bite me. Like if I blinked hard enough, it

    HAZELWith those parting words, Vasilisa linked arms with her mother and glided away, leaving me standing there, stunned, her words echoing in my head like a threat. And I suddenly felt very, very alone.I kept standing there, all alone, in this room full of people who talked like they were schemin

    AXEL I smile at Damien before I continue. The favour isn't what he thinks it is.“In the meantime, I want her trained to be a wife.... My wife. Not a princess. Not a sheltered girl. She needs to learn what marriage is. She needs to understand she won’t be living in a fantasy. She’ll have a husband
