LOGINTime flew by so fast, and before Hazel knew it, she was already entering her fifth month of pregnancy. The little babies inside her were growing rapidly, and because there were two of them, her body was changing at a speed that scared her every single day.She stood in front of the full-length mirror in their room, her hands trembling slightly as she looked at her reflection. She was wearing only her underwear, and she could see it clearly now.Her tummy was no longer flat. It was round. It was firm. It was sticking out slightly, forming a beautiful curve that screamed "life inside"."Oh my babies..." she whispered softly, her eyes filling with tears as she placed both hands gently on her belly. "You are getting bigger every day... you are so strong..."She could feel them moving sometimes, little flutters that made her heart melt with love. But immediately after the love came the crushing fear.Xander will never accept this, her mind rep
HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) Days turned into weeks, and the reality of her situation was sinking in deeper and deeper every single day. Hazel was carrying two lives inside her. Two babies. Her little angels.But fear was the only thing that filled her heart.She remembered everything Xander had said. She remembered how he told her he never loved her. She remembered how he said this marriage was a mistake. She remembered how he still looked at photos of Selene.And because of that, she was 100% sure.He will never want this baby, she thought, touching her small but growing belly. He will hate it. He will think it is a burden. And if he finds out... he will tell me to get rid of them.She couldn't let that happen. She would rather die than let anyone hurt her children.So she made her decision. She will hide it. She will pretend. She will act like nothing is wrong.Every morning was a struggle now. She was in her fou
HAZEL AUTHOR POVThe days following her visit to the hospital were filled with a strange mix of emotions for Hazel. Her heart was full of joy and love knowing that two little lives were growing inside her, but her mind was constantly clouded with fear and anxiety.She had a secret now. A huge, life-changing secret that weighed heavily on her chest yet filled her with a fierce sense of determination.I will protect them, she repeated to herself every morning when she woke up. No matter what happens, I will not let anyone hurt my babies.And the first step to protect them was to hide them.So Hazel began her act.She knew she had to be careful. Very careful. One wrong move, one slip of the tongue, and Xander would know. And she wasn't ready for that. Not yet.One morning, Xander woke up early as usual. He stretched his arms and turned to look at Hazel beside him.He expected to see her tossing and turning, or
HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) The days continued to pass, but the discomfort Hazel felt only grew stronger, making it harder and harder for her to pretend that everything was normal. Her body was screaming the truth, but her mind was clouded with fear and uncertainty.She knew something was definitely wrong, or rather, something was definitely happening. The constant nausea, the extreme fatigue, the sudden changes in her appetite and mood—all of these were signs that she could no longer ignore.But more than that, there was a heavy feeling in her chest. She needed to know. She needed to be 100% sure so she could plan what to do next. She couldn't just stay in the dark, waiting and worrying.One morning, Xander left early for an important meeting at his company. He had been busier than usual, coming home late and looking stressed. Mrs. Kingston and Tiffany also went out to visit some relatives, leaving the house relatively quiet and empty.This was
HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) The weeks continued to pass, and Hazel felt like she was living in a haze. Her body was changing rapidly, and the signs were becoming so obvious that even a blind person could tell what was happening.She would wake up in the middle of the night, sweating and feeling hot, then suddenly feeling cold. Her lower back ached constantly, a dull pain that never went away. Her clothes, which used to fit her perfectly, were now starting to feel tight around her waist and chest.But the biggest change was inside her heart and mind.One evening, Hazel was sitting alone in the garden, away from everyone. The night breeze was cool and gentle, but she held her stomach tightly with both hands.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.I am pregnant, she said to herself, the words echoing clearly in her mind. I am really pregnant.It was no longer just a guess or a suspicion. She felt it. She knew it. Deep in her s
HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) The days passed, but the discomfort Hazel felt only grew stronger and more persistent. It was no longer just in the mornings; it was happening all throughout the day, making her life a constant struggle between feeling sick and trying to act normal.Every time she stood up, she would feel dizzy. The world would spin around her, and she would have to hold onto walls or furniture just to keep herself from falling. Her legs felt heavy, like they were made of lead, and even walking a few steps would leave her breathless and exhausted.And the sleepiness! Oh, the sleepiness was overwhelming.She could sleep for ten hours straight at night, but as soon as she woke up, she would still feel like she hadn't rested at all. During the day, her eyes would automatically close, and she would find herself dozing off on the sofa, on the chair, or even while sitting in the garden.Her body was demanding rest, demanding energy, because
HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) NIGHT TIMEThe Kingston mansion was like a palace, but to Hazel, it was a beautiful cage. The room she was given was huge, with a king-sized bed covered in silk sheets. But it felt empty.She was sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing a simple nightgown. She had been waiting fo
HAZEL (AUTHOR POV)Darkness engulfed her senses. The pain was no longer a sharp sting, but a dull, heavy ache that had settled deep into her bones. She was burning up, her skin hot to the touch, yet she felt as if ice water was running through her veins.Her breathing was shallow and ragged. Every
HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) The night was long and freezing. Hazel sat huddled in the dark storage room, her body trembling violently. The rain was pouring heavily outside, and the cold wind seeped through the cracks of the walls, biting her skin like needles.She had no blanket. She had no food. Her stoma
HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) The days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months. For Hazel, time didn’t fly, it dragged slowly, like a heavy chain pulling her down.Life inside the Kingston mansion remained a living hell.
