Yet here I was, playing pawn in a game I never agreed to. My mother adjusted the veil, smoothing down the lace like I was her muse. Her mannequin, and not her daughter. A human. “Remember, Sapphire,” she whispered. “Always plaster a smile onto that resting bitch face of yours. You know how much he loves his women smiling, you wouldn’t want to disappoint your husband now, would you?” Husband. The word left a very bitter taste in my mouth. Salvatore Moreti was indeed my soon-to-be husband.

Hinila ako patayo ni Lulu senyales na kelangan na naming umalis at tumakas. "Sir iba nalang kase! Matatalo pa 'yan dahil sakin eh! Tara na Selene," pagmamadali ni Lulu. Hindi ako mapakali kung sino ang uunahin ko. "G-good morning po sir. Teka lang Lu-" nang tuluyan na akong mahatak paalis ni Luilaine. Sa totoo lang hindi ako nagaalala kay sir kung hindi sa kay Captain Havier.

Azalea's POV Hazel ran her hands through her face, clearly fighting herself, not knowing if she should reveal the name of the person or not. Seeing her plight, Mr Hale decided to step in. “Hazel, it's in your best interest to tell us who made you frame Azalea. Not only have you breached the trust of the company, you've also committed a crime which is punishable by law. I'd advise you to confess now before I involve the police."

I didn’t want to bother myself with it at the moment, so I shoved it aside. “Enzo wants me. Since you guys closed his access to quick portals, so now you have to think of a plan. You owe me that,” Hazel said, and Halle scoffed. “I am letting you slide because we are related; if not, I’d teach you how to talk to an old witch.” I groaned inwardly because the both of them didn’t seem to ever be on good terms. “Where are you?” Halle asked. “The outlands. Wastelands. Place of skulls with the ancient writing,” Hazel said to her.

CHAPTER ONE The full moon that night was unusually bright. I couldn't remember the last time I'd ever seen it shine that brightly, but I did remember sitting at the raised pedestal with my family and my friends, where I was supposed to be eating and celebrating, but all I did was look glum. The moon was supposed to be a warning, but I missed it. My father caught me staring up at the moon curiously and I heard him give a low chuckle beside me. "You think it's unusual, don't you, daughter?"

“Breaking News: A fire has broken out at the downtown office of Rowe Global’s digital research division. Firefighters are still battling the blaze. Authorities suspect arson…” The screen showed bright flames engulfing the top floors of the sleek Rowe satellite building. Melinda’s heart pounded. “That division houses” “our unreleased AI securities platform,” Hazel finished, her tone grim. “The one Selene never knew about.” James’s phone buzzed again. This time it was a message. No name. Just coordinates… and a single sentence: “You’re playing a game you don’t understand.” Melinda turned toward James. “Who the hell is this?”

Alpha Blake stopped his Armies with his hand before smiling at Hazel. “You have done a great job, I am impressed, but I have to stop you, because I don’t feel like hurting you, at least not yet. I wanna take you and other people to my park alive, atleast you guys can be my slave until the bàstard you all call Alpha come back” Alpha Blake said and Hazel picked up her sword, she attack him with it and he set his leg in the floor. Hazel fall down flatly and Alpha Blake spray something on her face which made her passed out. “Take her to the car!” Alpha Blake instructed on of his armies, he bowed his head before lifting Hazel up from the ground.

“No one will steal my attention from you. Zara is gone, you own me now! Give it a shot. You think I'll be here pleading if I knew how to convince you without pleading? When did you get to know a Damian who doesn't have some ego?! You made me this, Hazel,” "That's it!”. She paused, swallowing hard to stop her tears. "I, Hazel Moonlight…" “Hazel, don't!!" I shouted but she wouldn't listen.

“Something that hurts Reaper. Routes. Safehouses. Weak points in their security. Prove you’re choosing me.” Hazel didn’t look up right away. She finished writing a note, then set the pen down. Her face stayed calm, almost bored. Inside, her mind turned fast and cold. *Feed him scraps. Make them look valuable. Point him at places we already abandoned or reinforced. Buy time. Learn more.*

The sun, setting in a blaze of colors, cast a warm, promising glow over the reunited trio as they set forth on a future filled with love and shared joy. Hazel sat at her desk in her small studio apartment, a dimly lit lamp casting a warm glow over the cluttered space. The soft rustle of papers filled the air as she shuffled through her notes, her brow furrowed in concentration as she tried to make sense of the complex equations in front of her. A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips, a mix of determination and exhaustion etched on her features, her wide hazel eyes reflecting the faint light as she delved deeper into her studies, a world of numbers and theories unfolding before her.
