HAZEL

My brows pulled together.

“What do you mean....betrayal?” I asked taken aback.

“He wants me to betray the don,” she whispered back.

The don. Axel.

My breath caught.

“What… what does that mean?” I asked slowly.

My mind was already racing ahead, but I needed to hear it. Needed her to say it.

“Like....kill him?” I blurted, my voice rising before I could stop it.

“No!” she said immediately. “No, I would never agree to that.”

Relief hit me....but it didn’t last long.

“Then what?” I asked, my s

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Observing

    HAZELI let Axel take the lead to his office and excused myself to the ladies' room for a few minutes. I took my time to join him so I could gather my thoughts.I don't know why, but him asking me to join him in his office tonight was such a big deal. It sure felt like it. I knew he was probably just being polite since I was planning to join him later either way, but it was just... Somehow, him asking me that, knowing he had actually asked me to join him, made me feel something I couldn't quite explain.He told me he focuses better and works faster with me around.... Me. The one he never wanted around, the one he always cast aside. He now wanted to spend time with me. Because that's what it meant, right?I tried not to think about it too much or read too much into it as I walked towards his office. When I reached Axel's office, his door was already open, and he had already taken a seat behind his desk. I walked in as he watched me, and I looked around as if this place was new or I had

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Big Deal

    HAZEL I took one last look at myself in the mirror before I left my bedroom. I didn't know what had come over me. Maybe I just wanted to feel normal again. You know, to dress up, sit at the dinner table, and enjoy a meal without thinking about everything that happened to me.Maybe I just wanted to have a good time. Maybe the outside could help make the inside feel better. Or maybe... Maybe I wanted Axel to notice.I immediately shook my head. No. I wasn't going to think about him or that, in order not to let myself spiral and think maybe this was too much. Maybe Axel will think this is too much. Maybe I should change. Maybe I should wash off the makeup. Maybe I should try to look nonchalant.....So, before all of that got into my head, I opened the door and walked out. As I made my way towards the dining room, I could hear voices from inside and immediately knew who was there. Angela was already there, and so was Axel.Axel was sitting in his chair. He was talking to Angela, who was

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Ready Enough

    HAZEL Angela put a heavy tone on the word cleaned, and I laughed. But when I saw the look on her face, I tried to tone it down."I'm sorry. I just can't stay lying around every morning and every night. I had to do something with myself.""Yes, but don't do my job." She paused. "You've got Chemistry and nursing to kick your ass for. Don't do my job."I laughed as I responded."All right, Angela. I'm not going to do it again.""Good. Now let's go inside and have breakfast."We walked back into the house. Axel was already there, and he was reading the morning paper. I'd never seen him reading a newspaper before. And with his signature cold concentration, he was already dressed in his sharp suit, looking so handsome and elegant as always.I don't know..... He just looked good reading the paper there."Good morning, Axel," I said brightly as I took a seat."Good morning, Hazel," he said back with a smile.Angela prepared our breakfast, and then she... I was so focused on Axel that I didn'

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Music

    HAZEL Maybe it was the memory of everything that had happened between us. Maybe it was the way things had changed lately. Or maybe I was just scared of what that hug would mean.So instead, I cleared my throat."I just thought I could share the news."He watched me."I mean, I'm not accepted yet..." I began."They will accept you." He said it so confidently that I almost laughed. "Trust me."He said it as if he was the dean of the school or something. Of course, Axel was used to power. He was power, I guess. I couldn't help smiling at the way he said it."I hope you're right," I said instead."I'm always right."I stared at him. His confidence. So sure. Right on point. He wasn't worried. He was sure I would pass, and I wished I could have a piece of his confidence for myself, so I could be as confident as he was."I wish I were as confident as you are," I said."You don't have to be confident all the time."I looked up at him."You just have to keep going and not give up. That's all

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    I Did It

    HAZEL When I finished the application, I couldn't help but hug Angela hard."Wait," she said, laughing. "You're not even admitted yet.""Don't say that. Don't jinx me."I pulled back and looked at her."They're going to accept me. I will be accepted. I'm going to be a nurse.""Yes, but remember the eight weeks.""I remember the eight weeks," I said, rolling my eyes. "Plus, it's virtual. I don't have to go anywhere; I can do it all here."I paused for a moment."Although I'm wondering how safe it is for me out there to go to nursing school. Do you think I should have applied for something far away, maybe outside the city?"Angela's smile faded slightly."Do you think Harris could find me if I were..." I continued."Stop, Hazel." She immediately put her hand up in front of my face. "We're not talking about Harris."She shook her head."We're not talking about that no-good... person."I could tell she was about to say something worse, and it made me smile despite myself."What I want us

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    My Story

    HAZELWe walked back together towards the library, and I don't think my feet had ever moved that fast. Just a few minutes ago, I had been running away from the library because I thought my dream was over.But now I was running back towards it because maybe it wasn't.Angela was walking beside me with a hidden smile."Slow down," she said, laughing. "You're going to fall.""I won't fall. I am not falling until I have applied."She laughed."I can see that."When we reached the library, I walked straight towards the table where we had been sitting earlier. The laptop was still there. The screen was still open, and somehow, seeing that application still sitting there made everything feel real again, as if it was still right there for me to grasp.I pulled out the chair and sat down, and Angela sat right beside me."Okay," she said, opening the laptop again. "Let's do this. We need to make sure everything is exactly as they said. We don't want to register for the wrong thing. We don't wan

    HAZELThe next afternoon, Angela brings me a new attire.....a red dress, gold shoes, and even new jewelry. She doesn’t have to tell me who wants me to wear them or where I have to go, because I already know.So, at seven, I start getting ready. Yes, because I’m not going to be ready at eight sharp

    HAZEL“Nico,” I begin, my voice trembling. “You’re freaking me out, okay? I don’t care if he decides to kill me. I guess it was a long time coming....”He stares at me, unblinking. “He already sold me in there...to that man called Mac,” I say, the words tumbling out. “I’m supposed to go spend the n

    HAZELWhile I’m fighting with my inner self, Axel suddenly just stops laughing, just as quickly as he started. His laugh dies in his throat, and his face slips right back into place.It strikes me how easily he could do that. How easily he could switch from one person to another. As if the laughter

    HAZELAxel nods once, his jaw tightening. “Okay. That’s how you want to do this?”I shrug, feigning innocence. “I don’t know What you mean.”He moves toward me, quick, silent, and my breath catches. He’s never hurt me, not physically, not once, but I’ve only been here three months. I don’t really
