Removing the quilt from her face, she let out a small yawn, sleeping clearing from her eyes. The sun rays penetrated through the glass window before clashing with her Hazel eyes, causing the golden in them to sparkle.The burden of her trauma was bit lowered than usual, and then it hit her. She had Theodore's sandalwood scent all over her. The yesterday night came crashing down at her, causing different feelings to emerge.She was yearning to get held by someone and cry on their chest. Emily hadn't visited her again. Aunt Mona was too sensitive to provide her a shoulder, as Hazel knew she would be the one having breakdown on seeing Hazel's single tear and then she will be the one comforting her frail aunt.And then came Theodore. He also wasn't very different in this matter. He wouldn't tolerate tears in her eyes, either. The only difference was in their way of coping up with her sadness.Aunt Mona would g

The fresh gust of air, brushing through her skin, every now and then, was giving her pleasant shivers. Her grip tightened around the coffee mug she was holding. After eating the meal, prepared by Theodore, which Hazel swore, is always the bestest of what she could ever had, he had brought her to the balcony of his room, to spend the windy evening with her. Closing her eyes, which felt heavy due to the crying she did all the evening, Hazel allowed herself to drowse into the luring sight of playful nature. She could feel his gaze on her, all over her. As on cue, she turned around, her eyes clashing with his intense ones. His seductive sight causing her to tighten her hold around the mug. "Better, now?" He questioned, tilting his head to the side, never breaking eye contact with her. "Yes. Thank you." She muttered, gesturing towards the mug in her hand. Her gratitude earned her

"What the hell?" Edward snapped, a frown merred between his eyebrows, him not understanding what was happening.A young man had referred the Chancellor of Bitmus with his surname. Not only that, he had the audacity of spatting nonsense of suspending him.Mr. Jonas, the Chancellor paled on seeing Theodore. Immediately standing up from his seat, he came forward, rounding around his desk and standing infront of Theodore in attention."Mr. Alexander." He greeted, his voice nervous and somehow dripping in anxiety. "What did I do?" He questioned, without beating around the bush. The words Theodore had spoken, right after entering, had the ground slipping from his feet.Tilting his head to the side, Theodore looked at him with blank face, his hands inside the pockets of his dress pants."You don't know what you did? Or more specifically what you led happened?" On seeing Chancellor shaking his head with fearful eyes, Theodore let out small tsks sound.

Shivering, she was refraining herself to open her eyes. Her face had gone pale, mind numb, not understanding how to deal with this sudden shock.Theodore was here. Inside her room. And from the tone of his voice, he did not sound happy. That had her insides curled.For few minutes, there was adhering silence around her. Only her own heartbeats audible to her ear.Then, suddenly, she sensed hot breath hitting her face before a towering body was pressed against her small one."Open those beautiful eyes, Sweetheart." His tone was seductive yet stern, letting her know he wasn't in mood of nonsense.Ever so slowly, she unfolded her eyelids, before lifting her hazel eyes that were sparkling in fear and nervousness.The fret of him finding something out there, wasn't allowing her to think straight."There's my girl." He whispered before enfolding his arms around her shivering body, engulfing her in his warm embrace.Confused, she also

Two Days Later :Mona was just done placing mug of coffees on the table when she sensed a presence.Looking up, she found Theodore coming down stairs, busy in adjusting the collars of his camouflage shirt. He was attending an important military meeting today and for that, he was dressed in his military uniform that had given a raise to his already authoritative and charming stature.Giving one curt of a nod to his mother, Theodore walked past her and sat down on his head chair. Mona sighed, seeing the dryness in his mood, very well aware of the reason.Taking a seat beside him, she looked at the vacant seat infront of her which belonged to Hazel and which had been empty from past two days.Despite Mona's constant requests and Theodore's orders, Hazel had refused to step out of her room. Mona couldn't understand what had Theodore done. He had also refused to address this ma
