"Hazel," he gasped, weathered. She snapped. " You know each other?"I struggle to cheer up, and pretend I hadn't seen that scene, but it splashes across my face, in letters bright and blinding." Uhmm. He rented an apartment, and coincidentally, we were neighbors..." I pressed my lips close, leaving off how we met. Right now, all I can see is the girl whose happiness depends on what I say or do not say." He was there for Kelvin," I paused, and glanced at the man who had asked me if I loved him almost a week ago. I was right about him." You seemed alright today. What's the matter?" Samantha kicked off her heels and shambled towards me, with the hem of her pants sweeping the tiles." It's lonely at home," I replied honestly. She held my hand, " You should have told me early enough. I could come and stay with you...by the way, Dominic and I are not really an item," she leaned in and whispered. " Today just happened."I chuckled dryly. We had dinner, chattered about random things. He w

(Roman)Dominic's arrival was expected, but I hadn't expected his preparations. This mild irritant somehow got wind of my outfit. Now, we are both looking like two brothers dressed up by their grandmother.Three-piece suit, black and starry like the night sky. It clung to our body like a second skin. Seeing him this way makes me grin inwardly. I feel like we could have been brothers in our past life." What a pleasant surprise?" He walked up to me and extended his hand. I raised my glass instead, not about to give him that courtesy. He has eyes for my woman. " Fully occupied as you can see," I tossed a lopsided grin. He smirked and withdrew his hand.Between love and harm, I'm not certain which he intends for Hazel. However, he won't do either."Damn it!" I had already told myself that I would stay away from her. It's growing even more difficult." So, what's the inspiration?" He motions to my suit like a piece picked from his wife's closet. " Is he trying to annoy me?"" I have pra

Just when I'm starting to believe it's really him, someone else turns up at the end of the hall, wearing the same suit." Hmmm!" I exhaled. The three men exchanged a series of handshakes, and dispersed. My eyes followed Dominic. He looks charming, with a gait almost as enthralling as Roman's.Piper looked my way and his eyes narrowed with worry. " Is this still about Dominic and Samantha?" I stammered, and tried to dismiss his suspicions . How do I say it so he doesn't misunderstand and call me cheap?" They are not together," he dropped the line casually. " They have known for a long time. Since high school, but relationship is off their coast. I can vouch for Dominic that he loves you. Whatever you saw wasn't intended. At least not by him." " I didn't ask."" You didn't have to.I have seen enough of you both to grasp the unsaid words," he smirked." I might become a godfather someday..."" Piper!"" Hazel, I mean it. There's nothing between them. If you have doubts, meet him di

“ Oh no!” A short shallow gasp left my lips. My legs trembled. My hands quivered. Every thing in me swirled uncomfortably like in a hurricane.One look and I could tell the direction of the camera. It was right there in the room.From the side, my face was clear and so was my voice.A video of Roman and I went viral. How I caught the sheets, enthralled in a mix of pain and pleasure. How he hovered over me, made me straddle him before slamming into me like a s*x starved groom.My body. His body. Except for the sheets tangled around our waist down to our thighs, nothing was hidden.My hands trembled, and the phone fell off my hands. “ Samantha!” I thought."Could it be her doing?" I asked myself, sinking into the storm in my mind. She led me into that room. She must've directed Asher to the room. “ What wrong did I do to her?” my shoulders dropped in shame. Moments later, my phone vibrated with an incoming call.Diana.“ Hello twin,” she chuckled dryly. “ How do you like the prese

(Roman)Murmurs rippled. Hushed whispers and accusing glare everywhere. I dragged my attention off the security details around me, down to the direction.Wearing a faint smile, she sashayed in Piper's company. I have disturbing news from my detective about him. Whatever he's doing behind the scenes, I pale at the thought that Dominic has no idea.My eyes traveled, and settled on the slit of her dress. Every step she took parted the dress and left her leg bare to my eyes. And those around.It pricked my nerves.I walked over to them and exchanged a handshake with her companion.Piper." What a pleasant surprise! I didn't expect to see anyone connected to Dominic Lunar here tonight."I gauged her reaction. Nothing. Piper spoke, with a deep grunt. " You have been cleared of every suspicion. Miss Hazel is here for the last time."I snapped my head, "last time?"She tapped his hand, and muted him. " It's alright, Mr. Hill. If we're not welcomed here, we will gently leave. No need to make
