HAZEL

The tears blurred my vision, slipping down my face as I forced myself to move, because stopping here, breaking down here, wasn’t an option.

Not with Cassio’s threat still hanging in the air.

Not with guns still in people’s hands.

Not with whatever this was still lingering around us.

I got into the car without saying a word. Inside, Cassio and Cara were already talking and making out, like nothing had happened, like we hadn’t just walked through a graveyard.

Cara was smiling, her voice li

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Laughter

    HAZEL So I swallowed every question sitting on my tongue, and I stayed silent. Instead, I swallowed before saying, "I'm sorry if I made everything worse for you."Angela smiled softly."Axel is Axel," she said. "And everyone knew you didn't want to be here anyway, so it wasn't a surprise that you wanted to leave. It wasn't a surprise that you left."She paused."It was only a surprise how you got out of the house."I swallowed and avoided eye contact. I felt like she wanted to ask more.She sighed gently."Are you sure you're going to be okay on your own? I can stay.""No," I said quickly. "I think I'm going to be fine."She studied me for a second."Don't worry yourself about everything and everyone. Stop stressing about what happened while you were gone."Her voice softened even more."The important thing is that you're okay. You're fine. You're back. And yes, it's probably going to take some time for everyone to go back to normal... or to adjust. But they will."I listened quietl

    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

    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

    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

    HAZELThat goddamn phone.Axel has done many things to me, but seeing that phone feels like everything at once...his ownership, his control, his cage, his monitoring. All wrapped into one glossy little device.I look from it to him.“Yes? I don’t understand,” I say.“I gave you this phone yesterday

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Good Morning

    HAZELPutting on my best cheery smile, cheery voice, cheery face, I said, “Why would you ask that? Am I not at home? This is home, right? And this is the dining room if I'm not mistaken. I have breakfast here every day. Am I not allowed to come in here?”She stops and stares at me. It feels like s

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’

    AXELAxel sat at the head of the long dining table and watched Hazel walk out of the room without sparing him a single glance. He wasn’t sure what exactly about her managed to get under his skin, her defiance, her anger, or the way she moved around him like he was poison but he knew one thing:He w
