Hazel WestAfter I said what the next plan was, Jacob turned and looked me still smiling"nothing, we strike a deal with the next company" he said looking so unbothered packing his files"why are you looking so chill and unbothered like we didn't lose a deal" I said finding it difficult to understand his whole composure while I was losing my mind"oh, shit, I just remembered. this is your first business deal meeting right?" he asked"yeah, so?" I said, not seeing what relevance that question had in the discussion at hand"Well, welcome to the world of business, Hazel," Jacob chuckled, his tone light despite the gravity of their situation. "You'll come to learn that setbacks are just part of the game. What matters is how we bounce back from them" he said looking at me "I didn't put all my hopes on this company to strike a deal, anything can happen just as we just saw, so I met a company that is really you rent just as a backup"I literally had all my hopes up after Jacob told me about h
Hazel WestArriving at the school, I spotted Zion chatting animatedly with William, his newfound friend. She smiled, feeling grateful for the small joys in her life amidst the complexities of her work. Zion's happiness was a constant source of motivation for her."Hey, buddy!" I called out as Zion approached the car. "How was your day at school?""It was awesome, Mom!" Zion exclaimed, his eyes shining with excitement. "William and I had so much funWilliam and Zion both took turns to give me a hug"Can we go now" I said opening the door for Zion"No, mommy. Uncle Dunlop isn't here yet. I can't leave William her alone by himself" Zion said showing so much care bout hisfriendI haveto admit that the kid had a point.We lingered around for hours waiting for Dunlop, I took them to get ice-cream and watched them play at the playground and Dunlop wasn't still here. It was getting late and Jacob was calling"Zion sweetheart, let's just take William home and then we'll call his daddy to come
{WARNING: This chapter is not suitable suitable for young readers as it contains mature sexual content and strong nudity}Hazel WestMy mind buzzed with a mix of emotions as I observed Dunlop's reaction. Was it really jealousy flickering in his eyes, or was I simply reading too much into it? Regardless, the idea of making him uncomfortable intrigued me. After all, why should he escape the discomfort of seeing me with someone else when he had rejected me years ago? On second thoughts, I mean who couldn't be slightly uncomfortable seeing their ex with somebody else. If that was true, then I was going to make him feel or the discomfort there is to feel in the world.The kids wished us a goodnight and went up to their room and with a mischievous determination ,I wrapped my hands around Jacob's neck and started whispering suggestive words to him while maintaining eye contact with Dunlop. Jacob has such a wild libido and so with some few whispers he was hard. He made me sit on his legs whil
Hazel West“Mummy we’re readddyy” Zion hums after they were done eatingFor the first time Zion woke up by himself and even woke me up too. He was so excited to have William stay over. I have never seen him this excited and I must say his excitement was contagious.“That’s boy” I said giving him a high five“What about me too” William asked looking up at me with his cute face“Aww, you get a high five too” I said and he jumped and smashed my hand “alright, grab your lunch boxes so we won’t be late”They grabbed their lunch boxes and went outside and waited by the car while I locked the door and kept the key in the usual place, under the flower potI unlocked the car and we got in, William sat in the front with me while Zion sat at the back“William, seatbelt” I told him“You sound just like daddy” he said laughing and extending his hands to reach the seatbeltAs William mentioned Dunlop, a wave of conflicting emotions washed over me. His name still held power over me, stirring up memo
Hazel WestI watched Jacob as he handled the business meeting with so much expertise and I thought to myselfDamn, I have a lot to learn.The meeting with the potential investor went smoothly, and I found myself feeling cautiously optimistic about the prospect of securing a managerial position in the company as Jacob negotiated with them and they agreed to sell seventy percent of their shares instead of forty. We discussed terms and explored potential partnerships, and they said they would think about it and get back to usAs the meeting drew to a close, I thanked the investors for their time and promised to follow up with them soon. We all shook hands and the courier escorted them out of the conference room“Way to go superman” I said smiling out Jacob“Yeah right, says the lady who didn’t believe I would make it on time” he said and we laughedHe came closer to me and held by the waist and rested our weights on the conference table“You really have to start believing in me more” he
Hazel West“Mommy, wake up. It’s saturdayyyy” I heard Zion say after he walked into my roomI pretended not to hear him, hoping he would go and let me enjoy my sleep but I was wrong. He climbed on my bed and jumped to jolt me awake“Mummy, wake up” he yelled as he jumped“Zion, just five minutes more, please” I begged“Mummy , it's time to go to the park” he said and realized what all the commotion was aboutI sat up on my bed and carried him“Zion, I'm so tired, let me just sleep in for an hour, then I'll take you to the park” I pleaded“Alright, fine. Just an hour mummy, after that no more” he said walking out of my roomJust as I was about to rest my head and my pillow and continue my sleep, I received a call from an unknown number. I looked at my phone deciding if I should pick it or not. I decided not to pick it but then it rang again, what if it's important?I picked up the call“This is West” I said“West? I’ve always wanted to know why you kept my name” the person asks and I i

I was actually planning on cancelling our trip to the park so that I could find another to hang out with hazel. When hazel agreed I was so happy, now I get to see her without even scheming. Ha!When we got to the car, William sat in front with me and put on his seatbelt. I started driving“Daddy, I really like aunty Hazel” William said to me “I wish she was my mummy”He wished that Hazel was his mother, even the universe wants us together“I wish she was your mom too” I murmured to myself“What was that dad?” William asked“Uhm, nothing.
