All Chapters of THE DON'S CAPTIVE MISTRESS : Chapter 321 - Chapter 330

HAZEL Were we flirting?I laughed to cover my thoughts."You definitely can be arrogant.""That's your opinion," he said."It's a fact."He shook his head, and I couldn't help smiling too. There was something so easy about this. Something I hadn't expected. I found myself walking closer to his desk."What do you think.....?" I asked, getting a little serious, but also keeping it light. "When you look at me?""Well, when I look at you, I see a determined woman going after something she wants, and that's how I know you're going to become a nurse."His eyes stayed on mine, never wandering."I am very sure about that.""You're very sure?""I told you. I know," he responded.I smiled."And what if I fail?""You won't.""What if I do?""You won't," he responded, not leaving room for questions.I laughed softly."You really don't leave room for doubts, do you?""Not when it comes to you," he responded, still holding my gaze; there was something in there.There was something that made me swa

HAZEL I didn't know what to say. There was something in his voice that made the teasing suddenly feel different. It felt like this wasn't teasing anymore. This was heavier. More real.I looked away towards the garden."How much is long enough?"He was quiet until I looked his way quickly."I think that was enough questions for one night.""You told me that you were going to tell me everything you knew about me that I didn't know you knew.""You didn't tell me I had to say everything right now. Like the fact that you have never really had a best friend, one that you can tell everything, one that you trusted completely."I froze, then I looked back at him."Ho.... How.....?""I already told you," he interrupted. "I've been watching you."There was a way he said that that made me pause. As we sat there looking at each other in the night, some of the angles in his face a little darker than the others, I wondered.I wondered if he was still attracted to me. I wondered if he did all of thi

HAZEL I picked up my fork and then forced my eyes toward my plate, focusing on taking one bite after the other.“How was your day?” his voice suddenly sounded.I paused for a second before I lifted my gaze toward him. He was leaning back slightly in his chair, watching me.“Fine.”“Just fine? Nothing interesting happened today? No studying?”I looked at him before I responded.“It was fine.”He was quiet for a second before he nodded, and then we went back to eating in silence again. Angela brought in dish after dish as we ate in silence, throwing me glances I couldn't read, wondering what she meant with her gaze.But soon, the dinner was finished, and as usual, Axel stood up.“I will be in my office.”I nodded.“Okay.”He walked ahead without adding another word, as he always had, and I sat there as Angela cleared the dishes, giving me this look I couldn't understand. And I couldn't take it anymore.“What?” I said to her.“Nothing,” she said and continued walking.That's just great,

HAZEL The next few days went on as normally as they could.I had breakfast and lunch with Angela every day, and we had dinner together with Axel. We went to Axel's office together, and then he would get to work while I found something to read because I was still waiting for the nursing results to see if I had gotten in.Angela and Axel were pretty sure I was going to get in, so it kind of rubbed off on me. I was already planning a way to approach Axel and see if there was a way he could help me go to nursing school since we hadn't talked about it yet.Everything had been, like I said, almost normal. We never talked about the kiss again. It was kind of something we forgot, but not really, because we had both agreed it had happened. We had wanted it to happen. It just never came up.Then, days later, the results came in. I got an email notification, and when I saw it was from the nursing school, I immediately went in search of Angela. It was in the morning, around ten, and I was so sca

HAZEL I opened my mouth, then I closed it. I didn't know what to say or how to react. I was a little confused. Actually, I was very confused."How?"Axel leaned back in his chair."You were accepted.""But..."I looked down at the letter again."They told me the class was full.""They did.""Then how am I accepted?"He watched me for a moment."Because sometimes, Hazel, a closed door isn't actually the end of the road."I looked at him, trying to understand what he meant. Then my eyes narrowed."What did you do?""I didn't do nothing." He quickly responded, almost on instinct.I narrowed my eyes at him, but he didn't budge."I feel like you did do something. Now tell me, Axel. What did you do?"His expression changed slightly."Nothing you need to worry about."My eyes narrowed even more. "I stand on my word.""Axel." I pleaded He sighed."I didn't kill anyone, if that's what you're worried about."It was my time to sigh."Did you buy that position for me? I wanted to earn it."It
