HAZEL

I hit the bottom of the stairs and run toward the garden corridor, my mind scrambling for somewhere, anywhere to hide. The house suddenly feels smaller, tighter, like the walls themselves are pushing me back toward him.

“Hazel…”

My name rolls down the hallway behind me, low and calm and terrifyingly patient. It's almost like he's mocking me.

He IS mocking me! I don’t answer. I don’t slow down.

I push through the glass doors leading toward the indoor sunroom, nearly slipping on the marble

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Racing

    HAZEL Axel guided me toward the door anyway, Lisa glued to his side. His hand rested steady at my back, firm and grounding, but even as we moved, I couldn’t shake the feeling settling deep in my chest.This wasn’t just another business meeting. This wasn’t going to be what I had planned for tonight.This wasn’t going to give me the answers I wanted...the answers I had carefully built this entire evening around.If anything, it was probably going to leave me with even more questions than I already had.We stepped outside, and there it was, a sleek, black sports car waiting under the dimming light. The window of another car rolled down, and there were Cassio and Cara, completely lost in each other, making out like nothing else in the world existed. No shame. No hesitation. Just them, tangled together, careless and loud in their affection. I couldn’t help the small breath that escaped me.Axel didn’t say anything or seem bothered. He simply moved us toward his car and opened the passe

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Holding On

    HAZEL Axel’s brother Cassio, finally glanced at me, then back at Axel, then at Lisa, who was still holding onto him, and smirked.“You’re going to let her hold onto you all night?” he asked, his tone teasing.Axel didn’t answer. Didn’t react. Cassio’s gaze shifted back to me now, fully, deliberately, like he wanted everyone in the room to understand exactly what he was doing before he spoke again.“Are you going to introduce her?” he asked, the teasing still there, but now edged with something sharper. Something intentional.That was when Axel’s eyes flicked back to me, and I swear I could almost see the exact moment it clicked in his head..... Hazel is here.Just like that, the air shifted. Axel’s gaze found mine and held it. Something unreadable passed through his expression before he gently removed Lisa’s hand from his arm. She frowned slightly, but she didn’t argue, stepping back just enough, though not far enough to really let go of her place beside him.Then Axel turned fully t

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    The Background

    HAZEL The first woman to walk inside… was beautiful. Blonde hair, blue eyes, flawless in a way that didn’t feel real. She looked like she had stepped out of a magazine—no, more than that. Like she belonged on a runway, under flashing lights and cameras. An angel. That was the only word that came to mind. And the way she walked.... God. There was confidence in every step. Control. Power. Like the room belonged to her the second she entered it. Even on six-inch heels, she moved effortlessly, owning every inch of space she crossed.For a moment, I just stood there, watching her. Completely, unexpectedly… mesmerised. I was so focused on the first woman, the blonde, the one who seemed to command the room without even trying, that I didn’t notice the second one at all.Not until she moved. She rushed past me in a blur and went straight for Axel, practically throwing herself at him. That’s when my attention finally snapped to her.She was beautiful too. Dark hair, long and flowing all the

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    A Brother

    HAZEL Angela assured me that I was ready and good to go, so I walked down the stairs at 6:55. I didn’t want to be late. I didn’t want to keep Axel waiting. And, if I was being honest, I wanted a few minutes to myself before I saw him, to steady my thoughts, to remember everything I had planned.But the moment I stepped onto the staircase, I realised he was already there.... He was standing at the bottom, one hand in his pocket, the other holding his phone, his attention fixed on the screen. For a second, I paused, watching him without him noticing me. He looked composed, calm, like he always did. Like nothing ever really touched him. And for a brief, foolish moment, I let myself think… he’s waiting for me.I decided to believe it. The thought settled in my chest just as I took another step down. The sound must have carried, because his head lifted.Our eyes met. And then he saw me. Not just a glance. Not just acknowledgement.... He saw me.Something in his expression shifted, subtle

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    The Girl In The Mirror

    HAZEL Angela was already there when I arrived, and the moment she saw me, she smiled slightly and said, “Someone must be hungry today.”I paused, then gave a small, uncertain nod. “Yeah.... I am.”She served me food without asking for anything else. I was the only one at the table as always during lunch. The silence stretched around me as I ate, my thoughts louder than anything else in the room. Amanda’s face kept flashing in my mind, her voice, the fear in her eyes. Every bite felt automatic, like I wasn’t really there, like I was somewhere else entirely.When I finished, I didn’t leave immediately. Instead, I waited And when Angela came back in, I looked up at her and, for the first time, asked, “Would you help me get ready for tonight?”She stopped immediately giving me all her attention.“Get ready for what?” she asked.“I’m going out with Axel tonight and I want to look great,” I said, not even trying to hide the excitement in my voice.She didn’t respond immediately. Instead

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    This Was Good

    HAZEL After Nico left, sitting there didn’t feel good anymore. I hadn’t gotten anything from him except Amanda’s brother’s name, and sitting here only reminded me of Amanda, of the moments we would steal just to talk and when she would bring me something outside to eat. And now she was in trouble, and I couldn’t even help her.By now, I was used to feeling helpless when it came to myself. But being helpless when it came to someone else… that was new. And it didn’t sit right with me at all. I stood up and decided to go back inside. Maybe I would finally find the courage to find Axel and ask him about Amanda.A few minutes later, I was already walking through the hallways of the mansion, no direction in mind, just moving, just thinking, hoping to find someone, anyone who could give me something..... And then I bumped into him.The one person I really did not want to meet right now. Not like this. Not when I wasn’t ready. I collided into him, and his hands came up instantly, gripping m

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    How Much Control

    HAZELAxel doesn’t look at me as he walks inside, which irritates me more than I care to admit. He walks toward the head of the table and removes his jacket with precision. And then he kicks his seat back slightly as he settles in.Remo and Luca take the same positions they took the last time they
