HAZEL

I turned and walked back toward the house, my feet dragging against the sand. The moment I stepped inside, the silence hit me.

No voices.

No movement.

Nothing.

I hated it. Mostly because it reminded me of the time he had locked me inside his estate, and now… He had just locked me on an island. All by myself with no one close....just left alone on a deserted island.

Where did he even go?

Is there another side of this island where I could find a way out? That thought lingered.

He couldn’t h

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Fall Into Place

    HAZEL Ever since our talk with Harris, ever since we had a concrete plan, ever since we were finally on the same page, things just seemed to fall into place on their own.It was fun being around him. We talked for hours, and sometimes he would get phone calls and step away to answer them, but I didn't pay much attention to that. The rest of the time, we were together. We cooked together, we washed the dishes together, we watched movies together, and we laughed.For the first time in what felt like forever, I wasn't constantly looking over my shoulder or wondering what was expected of me. I could just... Be.Every night, we went to bed together, and He would hold me until I fell asleep, just like he had been doing since I got here. Little by little, everything between us felt... easy. Natural and Comfortable. Like we were slowly finding our way back to each other after everything that had happened. For the first time since Axel had taken me... I felt like I had a future again.The day

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    The Same Person

    HAZEL Those were things I didn't want to talk about either. Maybe... Maybe Harris also had things he didn't want to revisit. Maybe whatever we had both done...Had brought us here. Together, moving forward."Fine," I said quietly. "I won't ask you about it anymore."I took a slow breath before I asked."Then how long are we going to stay here? When are we leaving?""Hazel," Harris said. "You have to understand that this isn't as easy or as quick as you want it to be."He gently held my hands."You have to be patient. I've been patient. I was patient while looking for you. I was patient while finding a way to get you out. I was patient through everything that brought us here..."He smiled softly."...to this moment, right here, right now. You are sitting in front of me. The two of us looking at each other."He squeezed my hands."Everything... all of this... needed patience."I stayed quiet, letting him continue."As I said, Axel isn't really looking for you."I frowned."He isn't?"Ha

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Not Convinced

    HAZEL "When Axel Moretti took you away, I didn't know who he was," Harris began. "But I heard the whispers. People mentioning his name... Axel Moretti... Axel Moretti. And when you live in this city, it's a name you know to stay away from."I nodded."So I did a little digging. I asked around, and I got a gist of just who he was."He let out a slow breath."But the thing was... I didn't know where you were. I had no idea where he had taken you.""For weeks, I went to his clubs, to his betting rings, his casinos... anywhere I thought I might see you because he does everything, Hazel. Everything."His jaw tightened."Prostitution, drugs, arms dealing, human trafficking. If there's any illegal shit... he's into it."A chill ran through me."I didn't know why they had taken you. I didn't know if they were going to sell your organs... sell you... or worse. I didn't know, Hazel." His voice cracked. "I had no idea."He looked away, wiping quickly at his eyes."It was just so hard on me."Wa

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Tell Me Everything

    HAZEL When I woke up the next morning, I was still wrapped in those same arms. Harris was fast asleep, holding me tightly.Carefully, I slipped out of bed, trying not to wake him. I quietly walked into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, washed my face, and got ready for the new day. As I stood there, an idea came to me. Today, I was going to change things a little. Harris had been bringing me breakfast in bed every single morning since I got here.Now it was my turn. I was going to make breakfast for him. It felt... Normal. At Axel's mansion, I hadn't even been allowed to cook, not even allowed inside the kitchen. The thought of making something as simple as breakfast suddenly felt like freedom.By the time I walked back into the bedroom, Harris was already awake. We stared at each other, and I smiled."Good morning.""Good morning," he replied, running a hand through his messy hair."Sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.""It's fine." He smiled. "The moment you got out of bed, it got cold

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    I Missed You

    HAZELI waited for Harris to come into the bedroom that night..... But he never did.I wanted to go out and see if he was okay, ask him what was going on and see if everything was alright. But then I remembered, He had made me promise to stay inside the room until the men with the gun left.I reminded myself that they were supposed to leave tomorrow. I just had to be patient. So I stayed awake as long as I could. Eventually, exhaustion won, and I drifted into a light sleep.By the break of dawn, I was awake again, but Harris was a no-show. I decided to take a shower, brush my teeth, and get ready. Mostly because I needed something to do with myself. There was nothing else to do in this room, and I was about to die of boredom.I was just getting dressed inside the closet when the bedroom door opened."Hello, baby. Good morning." Harris."I'm in the closet," I called back while pulling on my shirt."Okay," he replied, his voice growing closer. "I brought you breakfast. Your favourite."

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Everything Would Change

    HAZEL And then the questions started pouring in.How long would this food last?Could I ration it?And if I had to leave... How long would it take me to get out of here?Did I even know where I was?Did Axel already know where I was?Was he already looking for me?Would he find me before Harris came back?Was Harris even alive? What if Axel captured him somehow, and he's torturing him somewhere....?I couldn't stop thinking. I couldn't stop imagining. How angry would Axel be? What would he do to me if he got me back? Was he looking for me? Was Harris okay?I wished more than anything that I had a phone. Just one phone call, one message.... Anything from Harris to give me an indication that he was okay But I had nothing. No phone, no way of contacting him and no way of knowing anything. It was so frustrating.So I paced and wandered around the house. I took a tour through every room, even though there was nothing to see. In one of the studies, I found a book that looked interesting.
