chapter 21

HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) The morning sun rose high in the sky, casting bright light across the spacious bedroom, but for Hazel, the light felt cold and unwelcoming. She woke up with a start, her heart pounding wildly against her ribs as the memories of last night came rushing back like a tidal wave.She remembered everything clearly. The darkness of the hallway, the smell of strong alcohol, the way Xander had grabbed her arm, and most of all, the kiss. That intense, earth-shattering kiss that had made her forget all the pain, all the hatred, and all the years of suffering.She slowly raised her hand and touched her own lips. They were still tingling, still feeling the phantom pressure of his mouth against hers. A deep blush spread across her pale cheeks, and for a moment, a tiny spark of hope ignited in her shattered heart.Maybe... she thought timidly, clutching the sheets tightly. Maybe everything will be different now. Maybe he finally sees me. Maybe he finally realizes that I am his wi

HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) Weeks passed, and life in the mansion continued, but the atmosphere had subtly shifted. It was like winter slowly giving way to spring—cold winds still blew, but there were moments when the sun peeked through the clouds, bringing a hint of warmth that was almost impossible to believe.Hazel had learned to understand Xander’s strange behavior. He was a walking contradiction. He was like a storm that could destroy everything in its path, yet sometimes, he was the only shelter she had.He had explicitly told her that nothing changed, that he still hated her, and that she should not expect anything. And yet, his actions screamed the opposite.One morning, Hazel was assigned to clean the huge windows on the second floor. It was a dangerous job, standing on a tall ladder, reaching high places.She was trembling, not just from fear of heights, but because her body was still weak and malnourished. She held the cloth and spray

Chapter 23

HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) The days blended into one another, forming a strange and delicate routine. The mansion was no longer a place of constant screaming and bloodshed, but it was still far from being a home filled with love. It was a place of unspoken words, hidden glances, and a tension that hung heavy in the air.Xander was becoming more and more confusing by the day.He was like a man walking on a tightrope, trying his best to stay angry and cold, but slowly losing his balance and falling into the trap of his own emotions.One morning, Hazel was assigned to prepare breakfast. She was moving slowly around the kitchen, her body still frail and easily tired. She was cutting some fruits on the board when suddenly, her hand slipped.SlicK!The knife cut her index finger deeply."Ah!" she gasped softly, pulling her hand back. Blood immediately started flowing out, red and warm, dripping onto the clean floor.Hazel qu

HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) Time moved forward, and with every passing day, the invisible wall between Xander and Hazel seemed to crack further. The coldness was still there, wrapping around Xander like a thick coat, but underneath it, the warmth was slowly seeping out, impossible to hide anymore.Hazel had learned to read him like an open book. She knew that when he shouted, it was often because he was worried. When he turned his face away, it was because he couldn't handle the intensity of his own feelings. And when he acted like he didn't care, it was because he cared too much.One sunny afternoon, Hazel was in the garden, watering the plants. She was wearing a simple dress, her hair tied back loosely. She looked peaceful, a small smile on her face as she touched the flowers.She had gained a little weight, thanks to Xander secretly making sure she was fed. Her cheeks were slightly fuller, her skin had a little color, and she looked more alive than eve

Chapter 25

HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) The morning sun had barely risen when the familiar feeling of unease washed over Hazel again. It had been going on for days now, a constant cycle of discomfort that she couldn't seem to escape or explain away.As soon as she sat up on the bed, her stomach churned violently. A wave of nausea hit her so hard she almost fell back down."Ugh..." she groaned softly, clutching her abdomen tightly.Without wasting another second, she scrambled out of bed and rushed towards the bathroom. She barely made it to the toilet bowl before she bent over and started retching.Blaaaahhh!Her body shook as she emptied the little contents of her stomach. Tears streamed down her face from the exertion, sweat forming on her forehead and neck. She felt weak, dizzy, and completely drained.She stayed there for a few minutes, panting, holding onto the porcelain bowl for support.What is happening to me? she thought w

chapter 26

HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) The days passed, but the discomfort Hazel felt only grew stronger and more persistent. It was no longer just in the mornings; it was happening all throughout the day, making her life a constant struggle between feeling sick and trying to act normal.Every time she stood up, she would feel dizzy. The world would spin around her, and she would have to hold onto walls or furniture just to keep herself from falling. Her legs felt heavy, like they were made of lead, and even walking a few steps would leave her breathless and exhausted.And the sleepiness! Oh, the sleepiness was overwhelming.She could sleep for ten hours straight at night, but as soon as she woke up, she would still feel like she hadn't rested at all. During the day, her eyes would automatically close, and she would find herself dozing off on the sofa, on the chair, or even while sitting in the garden.Her body was demanding rest, demanding energy, because

Chapter 27

HAZEL (AUTHOR POV) The weeks continued to pass, and Hazel felt like she was living in a haze. Her body was changing rapidly, and the signs were becoming so obvious that even a blind person could tell what was happening.She would wake up in the middle of the night, sweating and feeling hot, then suddenly feeling cold. Her lower back ached constantly, a dull pain that never went away. Her clothes, which used to fit her perfectly, were now starting to feel tight around her waist and chest.But the biggest change was inside her heart and mind.One evening, Hazel was sitting alone in the garden, away from everyone. The night breeze was cool and gentle, but she held her stomach tightly with both hands.She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.I am pregnant, she said to herself, the words echoing clearly in her mind. I am really pregnant.It was no longer just a guess or a suspicion. She felt it. She knew it. Deep in her s

Chapter 28

Her body was screaming the truth, but her mind was clouded with fear and uncertainty.She knew something was definitely wrong, or rather, something was definitely happening. The constant nausea, the extreme fatigue, the sudden changes in her appetite and mood—all of these were signs that she could no longer ignore.But more than that, there was a heavy feeling in her chest. She needed to know. She needed to be 100% sure so she could plan what to do next. She couldn't just stay in the dark, waiting and worrying.One morning, Xander left early for an important meeting at his company. He had been busier than usual, coming home late and looking stressed. Mrs. Kingston and Tiffany also went out to visit some relatives, leaving the house relatively quiet and empty.This was
