Hazel (author POV)

The pain was a constant companion now, a dull ache that lived in every bone and muscle of her body. Hazel woke up before dawn, as she always did, her body stiff and sore from the hard floor she slept on. She looked at her arms in the dim light—covered in old bruises that were turning yellow, and new ones that were still dark and painful.

She stood up slowly, feeling the world spin a little. She was so hungry, her stomach felt like it was eating itself. Bu

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife   Chapter 12

    HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) The pain had become so familiar that Hazel barely noticed it anymore. It was like the air she breathed—always there, constant and suffocating. She moved through the days like a ghost, her body thin and frail, barely holding onto life.One morning, Mrs. Kingston decided that the windows of the entire mansion needed to be cleaned. Not just wiped, but polished until they were invisible.“Hazel!” the old woman called, throwing a roll of newspaper and a bottle of vinegar solution at her. “Clean every window! From the inside and outside! I want them so clean that birds will crash into them because they can’t see the glass! If there is even a single streak, you will do it all again!”“Yes, Mother,” Hazel whispered—She started with the lower windows. She sprayed the solution and wiped it with the newspaper, her arms moving up and down, up and down. Her muscles screamed, but she ignored them.When she finished the ground floor,

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife   Chapter 11

    HAZEL (AUTHOR POV)The morning sun was barely visible through the thick curtains when Hazel opened her eyes. She felt like she had slept for only a minute. Her body was heavy, and every movement felt like a struggle. She sat up slowly, rubbing her aching back, and looked at her reflection in the small, dusty mirror on the wall.She barely recognized herself. Her cheeks were hollow, her skin was as pale as paper, and her eyes were surrounded by dark circles. She looked like a walking corpse, kept alive only by sheer will and the love she held for her father.She stood up and went to the kitchen. It was still early, but she knew that if she didn't start working immediately, Mrs. Kingston would have a fit.Today was laundry day again. But this time, it was worse—The family had decided to change all the curtains and bedsheets in the entire mansion. There were piles and piles of heavy, wet fabric waiting for her.“Hazel!” Mrs. Kingston shouted

Hazel woke up before dawn, as she always did, her body stiff and sore from the hard floor she slept on. She looked at her arms in the dim light—covered in old bruises that were turning yellow, and new ones that were still dark and painful.She stood up slowly, feeling the world spin a little. She was so hungry, her stomach felt like it was eating itself. But she knew there would be no breakfast for her unless she finished all her work first and if the family allowed it.That morning, Mrs. Kingston decided that the entire house needed to be scrubbed from top to bottom.“Hazel!” the old woman shouted, throwing a bucket and a rough brush at her feet. “I want every tile in this house cleaned! Scrub them until they shine! Do not use the mop! Use your hands and knees! If I see even a speck of dust, you will do it all over again!”

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife   Chapter 9

    HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) The days blurred into one long, agonizing cycle. Hazel existed in a state of constant exhaustion, her body running on nothing but willpower and tiny scraps of food. She had grown so thin that her bones were visible beneath her skin, and her face had lost all its color, looking pale and translucent like wax.One morning, Mrs. Kingston announced that they would be having a grand lunch to celebrate something trivial. The entire house had to be spotless, and the food had to be perfect.“Hazel!” Mrs. Kingston called out, her voice sharp as a knife. “Come here! I want you to polish all the silverware and the crystal glasses. Every single piece must shine like new! Do not use too much water, and do not drop anything! They are worth more than your entire life!”“Yes, Mother,” Hazel whispered, taking the heavy basket of cutlery.She sat on the cold floor of the pantry, working slowly and carefully. Her hands were shaking, not j

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife   Chapter 8

    HAZEL (AUTHOR POV)Days turned into weeks, and the cruelty only seemed to deepen, wrapping around Hazel like a heavy chain she could not break. She had become nothing more than a shadow in her own home, existing only to serve, to clean, and to absorb the anger of the people around her.One afternoon, Mrs. Kingston decided to rearrange the heavy furniture in the living room. Since there were no maids around—or perhaps because they simply wanted to see her suffer—the task fell entirely on Hazel’s frail shoulders.“Move this cabinet to the other side!” Mrs. Kingston commanded, pointing at the massive wooden shelf filled with heavy vases and decorations. “And make sure not to scratch the floor! If you damage anything, you will pay for it!”Hazel looked at the cabinet. It was huge, much heavier than anything she had ever lifted before. She was so thin, her body starved and weak from lack of proper food.“Mother… it’s too heavy,” Hazel whispere

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife   Chapter 7

    HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) The night seemed endless. Hazel sat on the cold balcony, her body trembling violently. The wind was sharp, biting through her thin clothes, making her bones ache. She could hear the faint sound of laughter and television coming from inside the room, a stark reminder of how happy they were without her.She wrapped her arms around herself, trying to generate heat, but it was useless. She was freezing. Her fever was coming back, making her head spin and her throat burn.Hours passed. She didn't sleep. She couldn't. Every time she closed her eyes, the cold would jolt her awake again. She was slowly losing hope, her spirit breaking piece by piece.When morning finally came, the sun rose but brought no warmth. Hazel stood up, her legs stiff and numb. She looked like a ghost—pale, shivering, and defeated.She quietly opened the sliding door and went inside. Xander and Selene were already awake. They were sitting by the bed, looking at their phones, completely ignoring he
