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."

  • 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

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.

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    What If

    HAZEL The whole day, Harris brought me food, drinks, and whatever I needed into the bedroom. But... yeah. It still kind of felt like a prison.It was a lot similar to the first time I walked into Axel's mansion, where Angela had been put in charge of me, and they wouldn't let me leave the house until I stopped running and causing chaos.Then I reminded myself that this was different. I was willingly here, and I was only doing it until the men left. That was all. This was nothing like Axel's mansion That night, after dinner, I waited for Harris to come back into the room and tell me the men downstairs were finally leaving. Instead, he came in with completely different news."We're going to have to leave for a little while."I frowned."Leave? Where are we going?"He smiled."Not you, baby. We... me and the guys. We have to leave. There's something we have to deal with.""What kind of thing?""Relax, chill," he said. "It's just a few things we need to straighten out, and then hopefull

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
