HAZEL

Angela frowns and stares at me, and I can't read the reaction on her face, but I don't like it, not one bit.

“What?” I snap.

“Nothing,” she quickly says.

That doesn't answer my question.

“What happened? Where is he? Is he okay?”

She comes and sits beside me, and I can't tell, but this is not the norm. This is not Angela. There's something different about her, about the way she sits close to me. It's as if the two of us are close....but Angela doesn't do close, not when it comes to me.

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Let's Dance

    HAZEL We drove out of that part of town and into something cleaner, brighter, safer, until eventually, the city opened up into a commercial area filled with lights and life. Normal. Or at least… something that looked normal.Axel pulled over and parked beside the sleek car Cassio had been driving. But inside, it was empty.“They’re already here,” Lisa huffed, clearly irritated. “I had a bet with Cara… now I owe her money. Thanks a lot.”She turned her head toward me, giving me an accusing look. And just like that, I knew, she blamed me.“What did I do?” I asked, genuinely confused.She didn’t answer. Just gave me a look that was sharp, annoyed, dismissive, before rolling her eyes and stepping out of the car.“I’m going for a smoke,” she muttered.I exhaled slowly, still trying to piece together who she was, what she was, and why she seemed to exist in Axel’s space as if she belonged there.“Don’t mind her,” Axel said as he stepped out, then came around to my side and helped me out of

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Not Slow

    HAZEL Lisa’s smile was bright, almost blinding in its confidence, but Axel didn’t smile back. And yet—I felt it. That glance he gave me. Quieter. Different. Like something had shifted, just slightly beneath the surface.Before I could even begin to understand it, there was a sudden knock on top of the car. A sharp, loud thud and A scream tore out of me before I could stop it. Nobody else inside the car seemed to be bothered by the knock or the scream. Lisa merely rolled her eyes at me dismissively.Cassio stood there, half his shirt open, laughing wickedly like a man completely unhinged, high on adrenaline, maybe something more.“I want my pay,” he said, still grinning.I frowned, my heart still racing. What the hell was he talking about?Axel didn’t argue or question what he meant. He simply reached for his wallet, pulled something out, and started writing. A check.I leaned forward slightly, trying to see, my breath catching as my eyes landed on the numbers.... Zeros. So many zeros

  • THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS    Speed

    HAZEL Axel didn’t stop or slow down. Didn’t even look at me.His focus was locked on the road, sharp and unwavering, one hand steady on the wheel, the other shifting gears with precision. There was no fear in him. No hesitation.Only control And something else that looked dangerously close to enjoyment.“Trust me,” he said simply.Trust him?At this speed?With my life literally in his hands?Another sharp turn came, faster this time, the car leaning just enough to make my breath catch as I instinctively grabbed onto the seat.Lisa barely moved. She just leaned back, completely at ease, like she belonged in this chaos. Like she thrived in it.Ahead of us, Cara’s laughter rang out, carried faintly through the open air as Cassio’s car swerved slightly, then straightened again. They weren’t slowing down. Not even close.My heart pounded harder, faster. Too fast. I could feel it in my throat, in my chest, in my ears. Everything was too loud. Too much.“Axel, please....” I tried again.Th

  • 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

    HAZELWhen I open my door, I expect Nico to be standing there like always..... He isn’t.I frown but don’t dwell on it. I walk downstairs and into the dining room. Axel isn’t there. I tell myself it’s fine. He’s probably late. He’s always busy. I sit anyway.Time passes. Angela comes in, quiet as

    HAZELI take a much-needed breath, but that does nothing to reduce my anger. "I can't fucking believe this." I snap at him.“Don't push it,” he says.I laugh again, sharper this time. “I just want to go to the gym. Or at least I plan to. Please do not make this harder on me.”“You're not leaving t
