Novel & Cerita Under One Roof Ali Hazelwood

Avery carefully pushed them aside and set the stack of files she brought next to them, but something drew her attention. In between the documents was an old newspaper, sticking out. A name bolded across the headline: THE HALE FAMILY SCANDAL—Secrets the public never knew. Slowly, she tilted the paper just enough to see more. A photo. A mansion. And a younger version of Nathaniel standing in between a man and a woman who seemed like a mirror image of him. Scandal? Her throat tightened as she read a line beneath the headline: "Sources claimed the investigation was abruptly closed after undisclosed…"

Once everyone was seated we made our way to the warehouse. ------ WAREHOUSE------ We reached there in about an hour. Bella led the mini fly like a camera inside the warehouse via remote control. There were 5 persons stationed at the main entrance. There were at least 10 rooms of which 5 had powdered packages (drugs) and the remaining 5 had children and teens. 4 persons were stationed at each room. About 2-3 at the halls leading to the rooms. The path that leads to the basement was heavily guarded with at least 10-12 people. It's gonna be fun playing with them, I guess.

Rumour had it she had married him only for his wealth, and she never made an attempt to deny these claims. Hazel followed hastily into the room minutes later, a try of drinks in her hands. Lucas Rossi turned his eyes to her, holding her gaze. She looked down immediately. "A drink would be nice." He uttered. Hazel walked slowly to his side, avoiding eye contact as she held the tray before him. "Here, sir." In that moment, Alva came down from her room. Looking beautiful in her dress, Hazel let out a tiny gasp of appreciation at her beauty. Truly it was no doubt that Alva was the beautiful model in the agency yet.

"We’re done for today?’ Hazel smirks. “With this yeah. Ransom and I signed up for the next roofing shift and were going to go do that.” “l join you,”Elliot says. “Yeah that sounds like a good time.” I say. Hazel rolls her pretty jade eyes at me. “Do you really think we don't know you're just tryna push up on us in some weird male wolf display?” “Don't really care if you do. I'm still coming.” “Sure,” she shrugs like it doesn't matter if I do or don't. Elliot siddles up to Ransom whispering something I can't hear in his ear as Felix says his goodbyes.

Each ring went unanswered, fueling my anxiety. Hurriedly, I ascended the stairs, encountering a maid on the way out of one of the rooms. "Where's Hazel, my guest?" I blurted out. "Oh, she's up on the rooftop," she replied casually, and without wasting a moment, I made my way there, concealing my concern behind a composed facade. The thought of Hazel feeling abandoned gnawed at me, but the knowledge that she waited offered a glimmer of relief. Emerging onto the rooftop, I spotted Hazel leaning against the rail, a glass of wine in hand.

"Come, let's get you settled. I believe my son is around here somewhere... probably hiding in room or the gym. I'll have him come down to meet his new sister shortly." ​My skin crawled at the word "sister." William gestured toward the grand entryway, his hand resting possessively on my mother’s waist. "Let’s get you inside." ​The interior of the mansion was even more intimidating than the outside. Marble floors polished to a mirror finish, a chandelier that looked like a rain of frozen diamonds, and a silence so thick it felt heavy. ​"Maria," William called out to a second maid waiting in the foyer. "Please show Summer to her suite. It’s the one in the East Wing, overlooking the gardens"

"We taught that homewrecker a lesson today. If possible, you should put in a good word for us in front of your husband someday. If we can get a chance to work with York Group, we'll all be set for life!" Ms. White chuckled softly. "Of course. I've seen all your help, and I won't forget it. You all will definitely be rewarded after this!" The crowd erupted in laughter, the atmosphere unbearably cheerful in its cruelty. I no longer cared about their hypocrisy. By some cruel twist of fate, the angle at which I had fallen allowed me to see Hazel. There she was, huddled beneath the bed in the security office. Her tiny body was smeared with blood, trembling violently. Her eyes were wide with terro

I say as I make myself comfortable on the chair opposite his. "What can I offer you?" "Nah, that won't be necessary. I just came to makes certain things clear to you" "I..I hope all is well" "All is not well" "Did something happen to Hazel?" He asks concerned. "No, Hazel's fine" "Alright then. So what's boiling?" "Hazel" "Okay, now I'm confused. Can you please come clear?" "I know it's not my place to tell you all of this but for the sake of my unborn niece or nephew, I'm letting the cat out of the bag"

"I began courting her but she always refused. Months passed and I was so deep in love with Claro and Hazel, I would do anything for Claro to give me a chance, but she was still mourning her late husband even after all those years. Hazel was just a sweet little soul. All smiles and sweet talks. She was only eight years old." "I had no idea that she'd been sneaking down to the underground—which you know is out of bounds to workers that aren’t the lab doctors. I had no idea how she discovered the secret door..." He shook his head, "I was shocked to my bones when Dr. Angor found her one-day sitting in front of the cage of Number 6, talking to him."

His surname is famous because their Clan is on the top of the Alpha rankings. They said to never ever try to fight or intimidate this Clan because it can ruin your life. Sweats formed from Hazel’s forehead. She was dumbfounded and shocked at the same time. What will she do now? Can she even escape this room full of Axel’s men? She should have jumped from the bridge earlier instead of letting herself be in this situation. “You need money, right?” Axel asked, fixing his gazes towards Hazel’s brown eyes. Hazel unconsciously put her hands up and wrapped it around her body, leaning forward her chair. “Please! Not my body!” She exclaimed.
