HAZEL

Because that smirk from Axel… it was a knowing smirk. Like he knew I had had a great sleep and he knew why. Like he was a reason.

Like the two of us shared a dirty secret. And given what happened last night, I didn’t want him to think..... oh, this is so embarrassing.

“That’s not what I mean,” I quickly say, trying to retract my words, and his smile grows even bigger from my denial.

“Great to know I helped you. How’s.....” he starts, then pauses. “I hope you're sleeping involved me doing

and what exactly is she falling for? the abuse? the isolation? what delusion is Hazel living in? this sounds like an infatuation -- although I don't see how it could happen when he just maltreats her? i think author is Delulu too, or not a woman because I love dark romance and this does not resonate

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Happy

    HAZEL The words hit me like cold water. Of course Sooner or later someone would notice. Sooner or later somebody would come looking. The panic must have shown on my face because Harris immediately took both my hands."Hey."I looked at him."It's okay." His voice was calm and Confident. The complete opposite of how I felt."I've got you."For some reason, hearing those words made my chest ache, because nobody had been able to say that to me for so long. I've got you, Simple words, but God. I needed them. I squeezed his hands tightly."What do we do now? Where will we go?"A small smile appeared on his face And for the first time all night, I saw something dangerous there. Something that reminded me that Harris hadn't spent all these months sitting around waiting. He must have been planning, preparing, and looking for me.He reached for my hand."Now we go home. Let's get out of here."Home. Not a mansion, not a gilded cage, not a place where guards followed me around.The word hit m

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Dreaming

    HAZEL The thought made my chest ache again.No. I wasn't thinking about him. Not when I was finally free of him and his hold on me. I started walking even faster this time, trying to outrun my own thoughts and determined to finally reach the place I had been longing to be, the man I had been longing for.The farther I got away from the mansion, the better I felt. I could feel the chains that had been holding me back, releasing one after the other and it felt freeing.Suddenly, a light appeared through the trees And I froze as my entire body locked up. For one terrifying second, I thought it was them.... The Morettis. Probably Luca had played another mind game on me again Or maybe it was Axel himself. Maybe he had found out I had escaped and he had come for me. I thought someone had realised I was gone and they had come to drag me back again.The phone immediately lit up a few seconds after while I was panicking. My hands trembled as I answered."Harris?""Yes, it's me, baby."My bre

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Freedom

    HAZEL Luca must have convinced Amanda to get me out of here somehow, or maybe he just threatened her. Maybe he was the one hurting her all along... Of course, how did I not notice? Since Luca is Axel's consigliere, he is one of the few trusted people who knows about the secret path out of the estate. Of course, he's the one who got me here so he can have me to himself, when no one knows where I am and he can exact his revenge."Oh, Go!" I whispered.I was panicking.... I felt tears about to flow when I heard movement. Something moving through the darkness, snapping branches and rustling leaves. I felt he was coming for me. Without any hint of a direction, without even knowing what the hell I was doing, I just started running.That's when the phone lit up. I looked at it and I saw an incoming call. I stopped without thinking and picked up the call, nervously wondering whose voice it was going to be on the other side..... I half expected it to be Luca's smug voice as he laughed at me

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS     A Huge Mistake

    HAZELI touched every surface behind me. Every inch and every corner I could find..... Nothing.My breathing became faster, Louder. The darkness felt suffocating, like it was pressing against my skin. I swallowed hard and forced myself to stop moving. Think. Just think. Panicking wasn't going to help. I closed my eyes before realising how stupid that was because everything was already black.I laughed once. A nervous, hysterical little sound. Then I took a deep breath and another. Slowly, my heartbeat began to settle.Amanda had risked approaching me.Amanda had risked asking about Harris.Amanda had looked terrified.She hadn't looked like someone leading me into a trap. She had looked like someone trying to help. Right?The doubt remained, but it was enough. Enough to stop me from completely losing my mind. I carefully reached into my sleeve and unfolded the map again. Of course, I couldn't see it. Not in this darkness. I cursed under my breath.Then I noticed it..... A faint glow.

    HAZEL Then I sat back down.... No. Too soon. If I got caught wandering around now, people would ask questions.I groaned and dropped back against the headboard. What about my human shadow? Would Nico still be standing outside my room after everything that had happened today? No way.I slid off the bed and crept toward the door. Slowly, carefully, I pressed my ear against it. Nothing. No footsteps, movement or voices. Just silence. Patience. I needed to wait until everyone was asleep and the house was quiet to move. Then I could find out whether this map was the answer I had been waiting for Or whether it was just another trap.I climbed back onto the bed, the folded paper clutched tightly in my hands. And for the first time since arriving at the Moretti estate, I found myself counting down the hours until midnight.Midnight took forever. Every time I looked at the clock, thinking an hour had passed, I would find out that barely ten minutes had passed. I tossed, turned, sat up, and l

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    A Map

    HAZEL I stood there for a few seconds longer, staring after them as they disappeared down the staircase. The sound of Vasilisa's laughter echoed through the hallway, and it grated on my nerves. It made me so damn angry that the two of them had been making fun of me, that Cara had been listening in, and that Vasilisa had threatened me for their amusement. At first, when I met Cara, I thought she was cool, how could I have been so stupid?I was angry at myself. Angry that I kept misinterpreting people, kept misunderstanding every Moretti. Because all of them were the same, weren't they? Cut from the same cloth.I was done, I was finally done. Done with all of them. Done with Vasilisa, Done with Cara and Done with the Morettis. I was done with whatever weird game everybody seemed to be playing against me while I was the only one who didn't know the rules.I slowly went back into my room and closed the bedroom door behind me, leaning against it. The room suddenly felt too small and too s

    HAZELI didn’t pause, not even for a breath. Their voices drifted through the powder room, soft at first, like a secret meant only for the two of them.“Did you see Vasilisa?” the one at the mirror whispered.My pulse spiked. I didn’t know why, but something inside me…clicked. Tightened. I suddenly

    AXELI sit back now, putting one leg on top of the other, leaning back on the chair, watching Damien Morozov. I can see the wheels turning in his head as he continues watching me, searching, before he looks at his right-hand man. And then he looks back at me again.He says, “As I told you, you won’

    HAZELHe didn’t hug her back, but he didn’t pull away either.His arms stayed rigid at his sides while she smiled up at him...bright, happy, almost childlike. I stared, wondering what their connection was. Siblings? They could be siblings. I didn’t know Axel like that. No sibling had ever shown up
