HAZEL."Here you go," I gave my aunt her pills. Agnes laid in bed, her face turned to the ceiling with her eyes barely open. She was discharged a few days ago and Dr. Bryson was confident she was a lot better but looking at her, she was just different.She downed her medication with a glass of water, after letting out a deep sigh. I could tell she was in pain which was why I spent most of the time right next to her. I adjusted her bed to lay more comfortably when she softly called my name."Hazel," I grasped her hands tenderly. "I'm here," I replied."I'm still here." I watched her fall asleep after which the tears surfaced in my eyes. I couldn't bear this. I couldn't bear to see my aunt this way. Evelyn knocked before entering the room and I sniffled my nose, wiping my tears."You got work tomorrow?" She asked."Yes." I stood up from the bedside. "Barely got a week off."Evelyn rested against the door. Her eyes dimmed with concern as she stared at me. "I could stay home and watch the

GISELLE.I was seated behind my desk when Nicholas's message came in.My eyes remained glued to my laptop screen. I was yet to respond to Alessio Virelli who had inquired about Evelyn's designs to schedule a meeting but as soon as I saw the message, my stomach tied into a knot.NICHOLAS: We need to talk, Giselle.I could always tell his tone in a message, this was a man I'd known for so many years and this time, I knew it wasn't going to be something good. Nicholas set a reservation for that night at the Oriental Hotel which was where we had our first date.So long ago, he ought to be proposing by now. I wished with everything inside of me that that was the outcome but deep down I knew. It was almost as if Nicholas never planned to actually marry me. All we had was a contract between us. I shut down my laptop and left the office early that day. Night came by slowly when it was all you thought about and Nicholas had his driver pick me up—I should've known then that something was wrong

Chapter 23.

HAZEL. I had my eyes fixed on the laptop as I scanned through apartment listings in Seattle. My aunt was right beside me on the couch, she was getting a lot better with each day that passed. Though she still found it hard to move at times, she could still speak. And it had been a week since her last episode. I'd taken a few more days off and become more flexible with my work hours for now, at least until I was able to get a babysitter and caretaker. I wasn't going to live with Evelyn forever. It had been nearly two months since I moved to Seattle and it might be time I got a place for the kids and I. "I'm thinking Hayfield," I turned to Agnes. "It's a quiet neighborhood with a school close by for the kids." She wore a disapproving look. "Your mother wasn't a fan of public schools." She said. I refrained from rolling my eyes back. "This one looks pretty good." I just needed to sort out all of this soon. House hunting wasn't for the weak and the time I realized wasn't on my s

HAZEL.“Pancakes…please don’t give Elizabeth pancakes, she hates them. David doesn’t so you could give him but you could just make sandwiches for Beth or,” I checked off the list, running through the basics with Lucy who leaned against the counter exhausted.“Macaroni and cheese. You’ve already run over this same list a hundred times.” She rolled her eyes and a sigh escaped my lips. She was right. I was only nervous leaving them behind in a stranger’s hands for the first time. All I could still think about were the photos I’d received that day. My children were my priority and I’d do everything to make sure they were safe even if it meant running over a list fifteen more times.But in that moment, I put it away.“Don’t forget to clean their rooms.” Beth might’ve been a little OCD but again, I already said that. Evelyn walked in on us and already had a feeling what was going on.“Don’t worry, if anything goes wrong she can always call me. The bar is only a few blocks from here.” She s

HAZEL."Mommy!" Beth yelled over the phone.I rushed back home as soon as I could, storming through the doors with my heart in my stomach. “Beth!” I called out to her. “Beth are you okay?” There was a loud thud in the background. I walked into their bedroom.“Mom!” She appeared from behind her closet with horror in her eyes and her hands clasped around the phone. “Are you okay?” I dropped to my knees to embrace her, running my hands over her face to ensure she was actually okay.Then Lucy stormed in, dressed in an apron.“I’m so glad you’re back,” she said as she led me to Agnes’s room. “It’s your aunt.” I feared her next words. “What happened?” I looked at her.“Lucy says it’s an episode,” It was David who replied and I handed them over to her before walking into my aunt’s room. I closed the door slowly, tiptoeing forward only to find her scrunched in the corner of the room, her arms clasped around her knees beneath her chin.“Agnes,” I called softly. She was trembling violently like

Chapter 26.

HAZEL.I was 17 the first time Elijah hit me.It was the morning after prom, after the day he’d conceded three goals and lost his last match as the school’s star quarterback. But mostly, he was angry that I danced with my friend, Aiden. "What more do you want from me?" He yelled. I crouched beneath him in my lavender dress, stained with both dirt and blood. “I’m sorry,” I muffled quietly. He’d backed me into the corner of the room. "I gave you everything, but nothing is enough.” He dashed his hand across my face, leaving a ringing echo through my ears. I screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Elijah wasn’t always like this—to everyone else, we were high school sweethearts. Students had our photos up on their walls praying to find a love like ours.But no one knew the truth. I knew a little too late too. Elijah wasn’t perfect, I knew he’d always struggled with his anger but he promised I would never bear the brunt of it. But that day, he broke his promise. “Elijah,” I looked up at

Chapter 27.

HAZEL.I could feel Nicholas’s gaze burn into the back of my head as I stood in his office, still shaken by my interaction with Elijah until he’d come to my rescue. Seeing Elijah, I knew Nicholas had questions and it was only a matter of time before he bombarded me with them.“He’s gone.” He finally broke the silence. In front of him was a glass of Remy Martin—he was an early drinker—but he didn’t take his eyes off me. I looked back at him. "Who is he?" He asked the obvious man. "That man."Even though I knew it was coming, I still didn’t have the words. If Nicholas claimed to know as much about me as he did, then he ought to have known Elijah Reed.Who didn't know about him?High school sweetheart, star quarterback of the football team, and a hopeless romantic and ex-fiancé to the head cheerleader, me. Hazel Bennett."He's—" My head blanked. I searched for what to say. "Is he the father of your kids?" Nicholas suddenly asked and there was a look on his face. My heart stopped when I

Chapter 28.

HAZEL.Running after a man in heels was a terrible decision.But it was Josef. And it wasn’t just the guilt of not speaking to him for days that washed over me, he’d walk in on Nicholas and I being so close to each other and I wasn’t sure what he’d seen."Josef!" I yelled, cornering him on the last floor and he finally halted. I was out of breath and beads of sweat formed on the lines of my forehead—I was a mess. But I didn’t care.I just needed to speak to Josef.“I promise you it’s not what it looked like in there,” I immediately blurted out because he’d stormed off for a reason. Josef stared back at me, his jaw pulsing with anger."What are we doing?" He asked. Only a scoff followed after his words and I could feel my heart shudder in my chest. "What do you mean?” I asked. There was a crack in my voice. He retired his hands in his pockets."What happened to us?” Josef shrugged. At that moment, I cupped mychin. There was no denying that things had been off over the last couple of

Chapter 29.

GISELLE.Days after the breakup, the paparazzi still swarmed outside my house, trying to get as many pictures as they could. BILLIONAIRE EX WRECKED FROM BREAKUP—they’d be right. All the headlines the media pumped out, not one of them mentioned my name but they would be right.I hadn’t left the apartment since the breakup and my mother was so worried that she’d come to visit.“Mum!” I exclaimed. She stormed into my kitchen with a bag of groceries. “What are you doing here?” I was mostly surprised. Linda sharply turned around to me. “What are you doing?” She threw the question back at me. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, oversized robe, frenzied hair. I looked a mess. My eyes were sore from all the crying and my cheeks were blood-drained and swollen. My mother reached for my forehead.“Arrgh you’re burning up,” She noticed my fever. I've had it for about two days now. “Have you taken anything?” I hadn’t. I hadn’t done anything but lie in bed 24/7.I couldn’t even go anywher

Chapter 30.

HAZEL."Come this way,”“He’s waiting for you.” The waitress led me towards the table. I clenched the velvety scarf I had around my shoulders, finally taking a seat opposite Nicholas Vaughn. The whole restaurant was empty, that could only mean he’d bought out the entire place.My heart dropped to my ass as I sat down. I dropped my Valentino purse on the table—he’d sent that alongside the Chanel dress yesterday. It was unbelievable how he knew my exact size. It was a a fuscia retrofete gown with a dramatic slit cutting into my thighs. I had my curly hair loosely tied over my shoulders and I hated the fact that I had to put in this much effort to see him. Nicholas on the opposite end of the table was in a pitch black suit, his scent filling the entire room. What was I doing here?A million thoughts raced through my head. I wanted him break the awkward silence. Fuck it!“You didn’t have to do all of this,” I said, faking confidence. A low guitar riff started playing softly in the bac
