Hazel

I know I said I wasn’t going to talk to Axel.

But how the hell was I supposed to stay silent after this?

I pushed myself up off the floor, brushing dust off my palms and shaking with fury.

“What is wrong with you?” I snapped at him. “I just fell and you're what...? And how did I even fall?”

My eyes locked on him. His face was that same carved, unreadable mask he always wore, expressionless, cold, impossible to decipher.

“This was you,” I said, pointing straight at him. “You did this. You did this. I didn’t want to sit where you wanted, so what...you broke the chair so I’d learn my place?”

My voice rose, sharp and trembling with disbelief and rage.

“I could’ve broken my neck, Axel. This is serious. You don’t do this. It’s dangerous.”

Then, quieter, more to myself than to him, I muttered,

“Why am I even talking to you…”

He didn’t flinch.

He didn’t blink.

He didn’t move.

Just that same mask, staring back at me like he was watching a storm he’d summoned on purpose.

And that made it

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Running Away

    HAZELI try to block the voices in the restroom.Nothing they’re saying interests me. Nothing they’re saying is good for me. All it does is hurt.Vasilisa is the golden woman.She’s the queen here.And I am nothing but the evil, wicked woman.I press my back against the bathroom doors, taking a much-needed breath, trying to shut out the voices spilling through the room.Mistress.A whore.A cheap woman.Those are the words that have been used to describe me ever since I got involved with Axel.And I didn’t even get myself involved with him.I don’t even want to be with him.He’s not even with me. Not really.He’s holding me captive against my will....but he gets to walk free. He gets to keep moving with his life. He gets a fiancée, a wedding, contracts, power, whatever he wants.And I get to be the useless woman labelled a whore or a mistress.I shake my head in anger, the words crawling under my skin, sticking no matter how hard I try to shake them off. My jaw clenches as I stare at

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Cheap Woman

    HAZELRafaela laughs nervously, trying to keep up with Vasilisa, but it’s awkward now. I can see how she reacts to Vasilisa, the way she craves her approval and wants to be in her orbit. You can see it in the stiffening of her posture when Vasilisa gives her a look, just a slight tilt of the head, and the admiration in her eyes.My God. I swallow, forcing myself to take a breath. I have to keep it together. I can’t let Vasilisa see that she has any power over me. I can’t.I look around, and my eyes land on Axel across the room. He doesn’t say anything, not a word, just a look. But I feel the weight of his gaze on me, a reminder that he’s watching, that he’s still in control. And I hate it. I hate that it makes my pulse race in a way I can’t control.Vasilisa laughs again, lightly, like she owns the whole room, and suddenly everyone turns to look at her. Of course, what’s there not to look at? Axel probably isn’t even looking at me right now. He’s probably only seeing Vasilisa, and his

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Future Husband

    HAZELThe older woman shakes her head at us, lips pursed. The way she looks at us, at me and Rafaela is dismissive, like we’re beneath her.Rafaela gives me her full attention.“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” I say.“Come on,” Rafaela insists, reaching for my hand.My strategy tonight is to blend into the wallpaper and not bring attention to myself. So I pull back from her hand. Undeterred, she stands abruptly and marches over to her… husband. Grabs his hand and tells him to dance. He gives her a look, annoyed and embarrassed, but she laughs it off. A few seconds later, she returns, her smile a little tighter. My eyes find Axel's across the table and Something shifts. I don’t know why, but suddenly I’m nodding to Rafaela.“Okay,” I say.She lights up and drags me toward the dance floor. I don’t really dance with her. I just… stand there with her at first, moving a little, just enough to look like I’m participating.“Relax,” she laughs. “Have fun. You’re too uptight.”When was the

    HAZELAxel guides me forward.“Over here,” he says, stopping by a fountain in the middle of it all and gesturing around us.The buildings are separated but interconnected, flowing into one another seamlessly. The architecture is stunning, modern, elegant, and intentional.“This department,” he says, pointing, “is for kids. Anything you need for children, you’ll find it there.”Then he points to another building. “This one is for women. Jewellery, clothes, shoes, every brand is here.”And then another. “And this is for men,” he says, “Then.... this is for entertainment. That’s where everything is happening tonight.”He pulls me gently towards the huge building, where everyone seems to be heading. Of course, the crowd parts like the Red Sea as Axel and I walk through. His men are positioned in front of us and behind us, making sure no one stops us, that nothing happens."Of course, this is just the beginning. There is a lot more to come. I have big plans for this place." Axel whispers t

    HAZELI freeze and lift my head, my gaze landing on Axel.“What?” I ask hesitantly.“Eat your food,” he says. “You look too skinny.”I don’t know why, but my eyes immediately flick to Remo, accusingly. But he doesn’t look at me. He’s focused on his food. When I glance at Luca, he’s still staring at me with something dark and unreadable. So I force myself to take a piece of meat and put it into my mouth. I swallow.When I start cutting the food again without eating, I see Axel watching me, waiting. So I eat more and more. That’s how it goes through appetisers. Through the main course. Even dessert..... Axel makes sure I eat everything.“Let’s move to my office,” Axel says eventually.Of course, I know that doesn’t include me. The scary man beside me stands first. He hasn’t said a single word all evening. He just nods and leaves. Luca and Remo follow.Axel stays behind for a few seconds.Just the two of us at the table.I think he’s going to say something. Anything. But he doesn’t. He

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Watching Me

    HAZELI swallow the fear and nervousness rising in front of me, and see him smirk.I do not want to give him the power to see the effect he has on me. I don’t want him to know that my pulse has picked up, that my skin feels tight. But I wasn’t really expecting to see him, even though I should have. He is Axel’s consigliere After all. He’d been around this house most of the time.But ever since what happened in the forest, he hasn’t been around, and I’ve been stupid enough to think that… to think that meant something. I don’t even know what I thought. I just thought I wasn’t going to see him again because I didn’t see him here.How stupid of me.He takes just a small step forward. Just enough. And instinctively, I take a step back.“I wasn’t expecting to see you at dinner tonight,” he says slowly, almost like a whisper.“I didn’t know I needed an invitation,” I reply. My voice comes out calmer than I feel.His eyes go to my face again, sharper this time, as he tilts his head slightly.
