FIVE FUCKING DAYS?

Kai’s POVEverything was heavy.My eyelids felt like lead, and my throat was so dry it felt like sandpaper. The low, rhythmic beep... beep... beep... of a heart monitor slowly dragged me out of the dark, suffocating fog I’d been trapped in for God knows how long.I blinked, my vision blurry as white walls and harsh hospital lights slowly came into focus. My side burned with a deep, throbbing ache every time I took a breath.I swallowed hard, forcing my raspy, broken voice to work."Hazel...""Boss?"Footsteps rushed over to the side of the bed. Reed’s face appeared in my line of sight, his usual stone-cold expression completely shattering into pure relief."Jesus Christ, you're finally awake," Reed breathed out, leaning over the bed. "Don't try to move too fast."I ignored him, gritting my teeth against the sharp pain in my side as I pushed myself up against the pillows. Reed immediately reached out, placing a firm hand on my shoulder to steady me

KAI IS AWAKE

Hazel’s POV"What is it?" Sophia asked, her hand pausing on the car door handle as she noticed me completely frozen in place. "Hazel, you look like you just saw a ghost."My hands were trembling so badly I almost dropped the phone onto the leather seat. I stared down at the glowing text message, reading the six words over and over again to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me.Hello Hazel, Kai is awake. Come to the clinic as soon as possible."It's... it's Reed," I choked out, looking up at her with a blur of emotions hitting me all at once. "He called five times... and then he just texted. He says Kai is awake."Sophia’s mouth fell open. "What?! Really?!""I... I don't know, Soph. I don't believe it," I muttered, shaking my head as a strange wave of frustration washed over me. I locked the phone screen and shoved it back into my bag. "I'm not going back there."Sophia stared at me like I’d lost my mind. "Hazel, are you crazy? Reed wouldn't lie about something like that! Why

BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT

Hazel’s POVI didn't care about the suite, the floating balloons, or the fact that there were half a dozen men standing in a semicircle around us. All I saw was Kai, sitting upright on the edge of the mattress, his dark eyes clear, focused, and fixed entirely on me.I rushed across the confetti-covered floor and threw my arms around his neck, burying my face into the crook of his shoulder."Careful, careful—his stitches!" Reed warned from behind us, but Kai didn't seem to give a single damn about his medical condition. His strong arms wrapped tightly around my waist, pulling me into him until there was zero space left between us, his face pressing deep into my hair.The moment I felt the solid, warm weight of him against me—the steady beat of his heart a

I'LL DRIVE YOU

Sophia’s POVGazing over at the bed, I watched Hazel leaning close to Kai, her hand resting comfortably in his. They were speaking in quiet, low murmurs meant only for each other.Seeing them like this—finally peaceful, finally together without the weight of the past few days hanging over their heads—brought a warm, aching relief to my chest. But as my eyes flicked to the digital clock on the wall showing 11:25 PM, a heavy wave of exhaustion hit me.I stretched my arms over my head, letting out a soft yawn as I grabbed my purse from the armchair."Alright, lovers," I said, keeping my voice down as I stepped toward the bed. "As much as I love watching you two act like a couple in a cheesy romance novel, this big girl needs her sleep. I'm heading home."Hazel looked up, her brow instantly furrowing with concern. "Sophia, it’s past eleven. You’re going to drive all the way across the city by yourself this late? You look exhausted."I rolled my eyes playfully, waving a hand in the air. "P

NO WAY OUT

Damon’s POVThe silence in my home office was heavy, broken only by the repeated, sharp clicks of my pen against the mahogany desk. Spread across the dark wood were supply sheets, delivery logs, and timeline charts.No matter how many times I recalculated, the result was the same. We were stuck."How is this possible?" I muttered to myself, shoving a hand through my hair.It wasn't like we didn't have any suppliers. I had spent the last two weeks signing contracts with smaller sub-suppliers and local vendors. But their delivery volumes were a joke. They brought in a fraction of the steel and concrete we needed. To meet the deadline for Grand Crest Towers, we needed the industry giants—the high-volume suppliers who could deliver tons of materials on a daily basis.And every single one of those major suppliers had suddenly backed out and put our orders on hold.I pulled up my contact list and dialed the head of Lombardi Machinery directly. I pressed the phone to my ear, listening to the

RESUMING THE ATTACK

Melissa’s POVThe heavy oak door of Damon’s office clicked shut behind me, but the frantic sound of his pacing still echoed through the hall.I didn't stop to look back. I hurried up the grand staircase, my silk robe whispering against the marble steps, my heart hammering against my ribs. Damon was spiraling. He was making desperate phone calls to suppliers who laughed in his face, clinging to the pathetic hope that business negotiations could save us.He didn't get it. Hazel wasn't trying to do business—she was out for blood.Entering our private suite, I locked the door behind me, pulled my phone from my pocket, and dialed my mother’s private line. It barely rang twice before she picked up."Melissa?" Clara’s voice was sharp, immediate. "What’s wrong? It’s past ten at night.""We are running out of time, Mom," I whispered urgently, walking toward the balcony doors and staring out into the dark night. "Hazel has us trapped. She blocked every major supplier in the region under exclusi

DESPERATE PEOPLE DO DANGEROUS THINGS

Hazel’s POVI woke up slowly, feeling a gentle warmth against my cheek. I was still curled up in the armchair beside Kai’s bed, my hand resting softly over his. When I looked up, I saw Kai staring down at me, a calm smile on his face. His fingers were gently twirling a strand of my hair."Morning, sleepyhead," Kai whispered, his voice quiet and raspy from sleep."Good morning," I murmured, stretching my neck and sitting up a little higher. "How are you feeling today? Are you in any pain?""I feel much better," he said, giving my hand a small squeeze. "Especially waking up with you right here."I smiled, leaning forward to press a gentle kiss to his forehead. After everything we had been through over the past few weeks, sitting here with him in this quiet room felt like a blessing.Before I could say anything else, the heavy door to the VIP suite pushed open. Dr. Lorenzo walked in holding a metal clipboard, followed by a nurse carrying a fresh breakfast tray."Good morning, lovers," Dr

SUSPENDED EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

Hazel’s POVI walked through the glass doors of E&H headquarters feeling lighter than I had in weeks. The morning air was crisp, and for the first time since Kai’s attack, I felt completely focused. I held my warm coffee cup in one hand, ready to head up to the executive suite and tackle the heavy machinery lease approvals for our upcoming site developments.Everything was moving according to plan. Damon and Melissa were trapped against the wall, and Moretti Group was hemorrhaging money by the day.But the moment the elevator doors slid open on the top floor, the atmosphere shifted.The usual busy hum of the executive floor was gone. Instead, an uncomfortable silence hung in the hallway. Two junior accountants standing near the printer stopped talking the second they saw me, quickly ducking their heads and hurrying off in the opposite direction.I frowned, setting my coffee cup on my desk as I reached my office.Before I could sit down, my desk phone buzzed, and Lisa walked in without

MASSIVE PROBLEM AT THE OFFICE

Hazel’s POV"Grandma," I said, my voice shaking slightly as I stood on the cold stone steps outside ENH headquarters. "We have a massive problem at the office.""Take a deep breath, Hazel," Grandma Margaret’s voice came through the line, calm and steady as always. "Are you in a safe place to talk?""I'm in my car," I said, opening the door and slipping into the driver's seat. I pulled the door shut, cutting off the noise of the street traffic. "They just suspended me. The Internal Audit Committee brought me into the boardroom, showed me a modified bank slip tied to a five million dollar machinery contract I signed, and accused me of stealing three million dollars."There was a short silence on the other end of the line. I could hear the quiet click of her teacup setting down on a saucer."Did you sign the master approval, Hazel?" she asked quietly."Yes, for the real equipment lease!" I said, gripping the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white. "But

TASTING HER DISHES

Reed’s POV I balanced the bottle of vintage red wine in one hand and knocked on Sophia’s apartment door with the other. Honestly, l don’t know why l agreed to do this food tasting with her but l just couldn’t watch her struggle looking for a food taster to review her dishes. So l offered to help. A few seconds later, the lock clicked, and the door swung open. Sophia stood there in a cozy oversized sweater with her dark hair pulled back into a messy bun. She held her phone between her shoulder and ear, holding up one finger to tell me to wait a moment. "I'm so glad to hear he's doing better, Hazel," Sophia said into the phone, stepping back to let me inside. "Make sure you get some rest too, okay? Call me tomorrow after he gets home." She hung up, let out a soft breath, and set her phone down on the entry table. "How are they?" I asked, setting the w
