Caleb Craige's "What the hell?" I blurted. "How did that happen? Weren't you supposed to hold her?" "Sorry, Sir. We weren't expecting that she would do that." "But you're strong! How the hell was she able to make you fall on your knees?" "The blow that she gave us was strong and we weren't expecting it as well. I think she knows something about martial arts or it could be that she was in a self-defense class before." Damn right. It was written in her resume that she joined a self-defense class when she was still in high school. A heavy sigh escaped my throat as I dismissed them. I, then, fell on my swivel chair and swiveled it to face the sky through the huge glass window. The sky was dark and it would probably rain. Hazel escaped when they were in the parking lot and they failed to catch her again. She was smart to know that something was wrong, those men who captured her weren't police. They were in Henry's team. I wanted to file a lawsuit against her but for some

Caleb Craige's I didn't mind if I was already driving beyond the speed limit nor if I would get a ticket for violating the speed limit rule. The only thing that was on my mind at this time was; I needed to reach Athena's condo fast. She was staying at one of the condos under Craige Hotel and Condominium, so, it wouldn't be hard for me to find her. We were just in one building after all. My mind was racing with thoughts as I made my car almost fly with my driving speed, I did overtake several cars and I could hear them honking whenever I passed at them, but the fuck with them, I needed to get to my woman fast. What was she doing there in the first place? How did she end up in Athena's place? There was only one way that I would get an answer. Driving even faster, I reached my building in no time and recklessly parked my car on my designated spot, and then jogged through the VIP elevator. Athena's condo was on one of the top floors of the building, it meant that she was one of th

"You investigated and found this all in a short span of time?" I asked, shocked upon seeing the results of his short investigation. He crossed his arms, "That's what money does, Hazel. Now that I see that most of what you said to Athena matched them, my question is why?" "Why would Geraldine team up with Stephanie? She's your friend." At the mention of Geraldine's name and the word 'friend', all my suspicions since she started becoming agitated around me and her text message before I completely lost contact with her came back to me. Knowing the reason why, I just sighed. "Money," I mumbled. "Stephanie promised her money and threatened her. She used Geraldine's biggest weakness, her mother and brother." "She's wicked, isn't she?" he asked back, pertaining to Stephanie. I nodded, "First, she used my mother. And now, Geraldine. She's using the people close to my heart against me." "And that's one of the reasons why I hid mom and about us all these years. My competitors will

Caleb Craige's "You know what... I don't understand why you are so into her. I mean, she betrayed you, it was clear although she didn't do all of it. She was still the one who wrote it. If she didn't write such in the first place, then, her friend and that Stephanie won't have the chance to use it against you and her. And now, look what happened." Mirna was at her daily complaint about why didn't I do anything against Hazel when it was clear that this was all because of her. She started all of these. I have told her already that Hazel admitted she was wrong and that was enough for me. I've been hurt enough when she walked out on me and after everything about her article, her perspective of me after finding out my past and all that. I didn't want to hurt myself more. Seeing her suffering in jail once I won in case I file a lawsuit against her would hurt me more. Maybe I was really a fool in love, but well, what can I do? And besides, I would like to talk with her once both of us

Caleb Craige's "Mirna, I don't care if I have important schedules tomorrow and the next few days. And I don't care if I need to spend even millions of dollars just so I could fly to New York as early as possible." I blurted as I shut Mirna's protest that I couldn't go to New York and follow Hazel. "But—" "No more buts!" I aired. "Just do it. Now!" She didn't have a choice but to do what I told her. With a defeated face, she nodded and left to arrange my schedules. I sighed when she was already out of my sight, I knew she was against Hazel again. But she couldn't just dictate me now though I understand her. Hazel was pregnant with my child and nothing could stop me from going there. I don't care if I would lose one, two, or even three companies under Craige Inc. if I wouldn't attend the important meetings that were already scheduled. Hazel and my child were more important than them. I stared at the empty space of my office, I was still here and it was already nearing midnig
