HAZEL

Maria came back into the room quietly, carrying a tray. The smell of soup reached me before she did, warm and familiar. And for the first time since everything had happened, I realised how hungry I really was.

Maria set the tray down on the small table beside the bed.

"Vegetable soup, bread, and some fruit," she said softly. "Nothing heavy."

I nodded.

"Thank you."

She glanced toward the open window, then back at me.

"You should eat while it's hot."

I nodded and pulled the tray closer, my

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Safe

    HAZEL Maria came back into the room quietly, carrying a tray. The smell of soup reached me before she did, warm and familiar. And for the first time since everything had happened, I realised how hungry I really was.Maria set the tray down on the small table beside the bed."Vegetable soup, bread, and some fruit," she said softly. "Nothing heavy."I nodded."Thank you."She glanced toward the open window, then back at me."You should eat while it's hot."I nodded and pulled the tray closer, my hands still a little unsteady. The first spoonful almost made my throat ache. I hadn't realised how long it had been since I had eaten without fear, without someone watching me, without wondering what would happen afterwards.Maria didn't leave immediately. She stood beside me, studying me for a moment with quiet concern."Did Axel tell you anything?" I asked."Well..." she said carefully, not looking directly at me. "When you left... let's just say everyone knew you had left, and everyone knew

    HAZEL But the moment I got close, Maria pulled me into her arms. She held me so tightly that the tears came instantly. And this time, I didn't stop them. I let everything go.Every emotion, every fear and every moment I had been holding together. I broke. Maria was familiar. She had not been sweet, but I knew her. Her hug felt warm and real, and in that moment it was everything I needed.Everything.... God! She had no idea how much I needed that.Maria didn't ask questions. She didn't ask where I had been. She didn't ask what had happened. She simply held me while I cried, and somehow that made me cry even harder."It's okay, bambina," she whispered softly, stroking my hair. "You're safe now."Safe. The word felt fragile. Like something that could break if I touched it too hard. I don't know how long we stood there. Maybe minutes, maybe longer. Eventually, my sobs quieted into shaky breaths.Maria gently pulled back and cupped my face in her hands, looking at me with eyes full of wor

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    The Moretti Estate

    HAZEL She smiled before she responded."Everything looks okay," she reassured me. "There are just a few results we won't have immediately. We need a few hours for those. As soon as they're in, I'll make sure you get them."I nodded slowly."So I'm clean? I'm okay?""You're fine. You're okay. And the bruises aren't that bad. You're doing great. You just need to take care of yourself and eat well, and when the other results come in, I'll make sure you get them."I don't know why, but I trusted her. I trusted what she said. So I nodded."Thank you."She stepped closer, and for a second I wondered what she was doing. Then she pulled me into a hug. A real hug, and she whispered in my ear, "You're going to be just fine."When she let me go, I realised tears were already falling down my face. Mina's eyes were wet too, and for a moment we were both wiping away tears when another knock sounded on the door.Just one knock. Mina quickly tried to compose herself, brushing at her eyes before ope

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Home

    HAZEL After a long moment, I gave the smallest nod."Thank you."She smiled, but it wasn't forced. It wasn't the fake smile I had seen on the older woman at the auction house. It was... kind."Can you tell me if you're in pain?"I hesitated. "My whole body hurts," I admitted quietly.She nodded as if she had expected that answer."Do you think anything is broken?"I shook my head."No.""Are you bleeding anywhere?"Again, I shook my head."No.""Okay." She waited another second before asking carefully, "I need to examine some of your injuries, Hazel. But I won't touch you unless you tell me it's okay. If you want me to stop at any point, I'll stop. Is that alright?"I looked at her. Then my eyes drifted toward Axel. He was still standing by the door. He hadn't moved, hadn't interrupted, and hadn't spoken. He was standing there, simply waiting and watching.I turned back toward the doctor."I'll start with your arms first," she whispered.I nodded."Okay. Only arms."She picked up a p

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    A Difficult Night

    HAZEL Axel didn't look back to see if I was following. He simply started walking, never looking back.For a second, I stayed where I was, staring at his back as he moved toward the abandoned warehouse. There wasn't anyone else around anymore. The SUVs had disappeared down the dark road, taking the rescued women and all the masked men with them. The sounds of the engines faded until all that remained was silence.My eyes drifted toward the dark road and then back to Axel's retreating figure. I could run. The thought came so suddenly it almost startled me. But it was true.I could just turn away from Axel and run. There would be no locked doors, no chains, no Harris, no auctions, no guards standing over me. I could finally be free from all of this....from Axel, from Harris, from everything. But then what?I didn't know where I was. I didn't have any money. I didn't have a phone. I didn't know which direction led back to civilization And somehow, despite everything that had happened bet

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    My Chance

    HAZEL For one terrifying second, I thought Axel wasn't coming with us."Axel.."Instead, he calmly raised his pistol and fired several controlled shots toward the men pouring out of the house."Fall back!" one of his men shouted."Everyone's loaded!"Axel took one last look toward the house before backing away. Only then did he open the passenger door and climb into the SUV. The instant his door shut, the convoy roared to life.Tyres screeched across the gravel as More bullets chased after us, striking the road and the backs of the vehicles. Someone behind us returned fire through the open window, and within seconds, the house disappeared behind the trees.No one spoke as the car moved; sounds inside the SUV were heavy breathing... And my own heartbeat, still trying to catch up with everything that had just happened.It probably took hours. The car kept driving through the night in complete silence. The only sounds came from the masked men quietly murmuring into their intercoms every

    HAZELAxel gives me a look.A look that says I’m way beneath him.A look that says I am undeserving of an answer or an explanation.“You’re here, aren’t you?” he says, almost bored. “You’re safe, you’re fed, you have a roof over your head, and that’s all you need to know.”That gets my anger rollin

    HAZELAngela freezes as she stares at me.“Remo? Why?”“You told me he’s the only one who might know where Axel is,” I say flatly. “And I want to know where he is.”“That’s not a good idea,” she says. “And Remo isn’t here.”“I can wait,” I answer undeterred by her words.She studies me. “You’re loo
