(Hazel)“ I came as soon as I got your message. Why do you need me to play sick?” He asked Hudson in a breath.Our eyes turned to the only doctor in our midst for answers and he returned the question with lines I couldn't have imagined even in my sleep.“ The son of a gun would have been kissing your wife if I hadn't come sooner.”With Dominic around, I felt torn. And then there was Christian.“ Would you like the details?”“ There's a child here. Watch what you say.” I scolded, my voice hanging low like I'm afraid Christian might hear me.He's probably rolling his eyes at me, but that's alright.“ Can we step out?” Roman intervened, but Hudson didn't move. “ I need the cooperation of everyone here. First, you both are going to have an open quarrel.” He said to Roman and I. “ Then, you will go home and act sick. I will be there to treat you.”“ What exactly do you want to achieve with that?” Dominic gruffed, looking up from the drip where his eyes had settled.“ I need an excuse to m

(Hazel)“ I know what you want to know, and I'm not up for that question, Hazel. Drop it.” Piper begged, sliding down on the chair to rest his head.Since he mentioned his fear about Hudson, a single thought has clawed its way to my chest and dominated my mind.Hudson might be his son.But I wasn't certain. “ So, that means I'm right. He is your son,” I insisted.“ Yes! And your brother…”The bell tolled in my ears like a breaking dawn. My fingers twitch and jerk. I stir in my seat, waiting. Maybe he will tell me he's just joking. It has to be some kind of joke. Hudson, my brother? How?But he stares at me like he can read my thoughts. Eyes locked on mine, his gaze is even and steady. Yet, with a trace of understanding. That glint. Subtle but there. Waiting for me to make sense of what he had said. Waiting.“ What?!” Eyes wide in disbelief, my lips hang open. “ No…it can't be.”“ Yes, Hazel. Sometimes you have to leave the bee hive alone. Otherwise, you get stung. I didn't want to t

Never ever dismiss a child's feelings. In that moment, I did not see it as a nightmare anymore. It couldn't be one. “ Barn!” I screamed from Christian's room. My arm is still around him, but my muscles contract uneasily. Yet, a feeling in my guts tells me this is the worst time to let go of the little one.“ Hazel. What is the matter?” He dashed in, asking. He didn't stop. He took a flight to the bedside and critically took in Christian's appearance before taking him out of my arms.He checks his pulse. His fingers artfully placed on the two sides of his face, a little above the brows. It's not the regular check with the hand turn, and the doctor's finger skillfully landing below the wrist.He dipped his hand in Christian's armpit and closed it, waiting a little while.“ He seems fine. What's the matter?” His face relaxed, his attention fixed on the boy.“ He had a nightmare…”“ A nightmare?”“ I know what you are thinking, but this is different. He said Piper had been shot.”His eye

Miles stretched before my eyes. But all I could see were spikes, leather jackets and roaring bikes that spread more that a mile. When they got closer, my eyes caught it. The body.Lying on a bike with the face upwards. “ No. No, Piper!” A teary gasp rent from my mouth. I rush down, footsteps falling on my heels, as I sped up to meet them. Outside, Dominic walk up to me with a sullen look.“ Hold yourself together…”Head shaking, legs trembling, I nudged him away and lumbered towards that lone bike in the midst of many more.I met Roman and Hudson blocking my way. “ You should not see him for now, pull yourself together.”“ Together?” I asked Roman. “ Anger burning into my heart. “ Well thank you, but I do not care!”“ This is all your fault. Kelvin, now him. What more will you take from me? What more is still left?”“ You think I shouldn't see him this way? We are talking about the one man that has ever loved me and wanted nothing in return. Get… out… of my way!” I screamed and push

(Diana)" Don't tell me to be calm, Mrs. Nostre!” I yelled, kicked off my heels and shambled up the stairs. I could hear their footsteps, but the uneasiness I felt from the second Hazel walked into the restaurant had been suffocating enough to make me faint twice already. I have never seen her like this. Like never. Calm and collected. Not angry, but seething beneath the placid smile on her face. That smile… it was way more scarier than everything I have ever feared.She didn't flinch when I told her about the move to take over the company she insists is ours by birth. No effort. No struggle. No malice. “ She was just there looking satisfied!” I screamed, cupping my face in frustration. “ How am I to be certain she's not planning anything against me, huh?”“ You saw it too, didn't you?” I turned my attention on the two people who raised me, and has not admitted that they're not my birth parents. “ Say something! You were there. Was that the Hazel you have known for years? Don't tel
