View MoreCade was appalled by the news, “What? How is she?” “I’m just getting to the hospital, I can't ascertain her condition just yet,” Gabriel replied. “What hospital are you?” he asked curiously, “I will join you there.” He replied after Gabriel responded and afterwards, ended the call. Confused, Hazel asked curiously, “What happened? Is something wrong?” “Elise was caught in a fire while costume fitting. I have to go now.” He said, hastily running out of her apartment. Hazel turned her TV on and could see the news of the fire all over the media.“I hope she’s alright. I hope everyone is alright.” She mumbled before retiring to her room. *****By the time Cade met with the Doctor in charge of taking care of Elise, she was said to have sustained no burns since she was on her way out of the building wh. “However, she sprained her arm and she needs a lot of rest and care for the time being.” The doctor concluded. Cade let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that even though he had sever
“H–how are you here?” Hazel’s voice trembled as she tried to speak. Cade slammed his other hand on the wall, startling Hazel even more, “Just answer me, damn it!” he scolded even more harshly. Hazel shut her eyes tightly, memories of her father scolding her came flooding back. Cade could see her tremble as his words washed over her like ice-cold water. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides, her heart racing as she struggled to keep her composure. Cade was confused by her reaction and his tone softened, a hint of concern coloring his words. “Hazel, what’s wrong? Are you alright?” He gently grabbed her fist and tried to soothe it but Hazel angrily shoved him off with full force, forcing him to stagger backwards. “You ask why I am not letting you see her right?” Hazel asked curiously, “It’s because you called my precious baby desperate. All she wanted was her father but you couldn’t even be that yet you threatened to sue you.” She scolded angrily. “Even when Dad asked me to ab
Hazel let out a sigh of relief, “Thanks, Cade but I will decline. I already booked a cab!” When she finally succeeded in jamming the door, she relaxed her back on it and let out another sigh, “That was close.”“Mommy, who is there? Is it Daddy?” Ivy asked as she walked up to her mother. “No, sweetheart, it’s the security. They just came to inform me my cab has arrived.”Hazel lied again. “Give mommy a goodbye kiss.” she urged and Ivy hastily jumped into her mom’s arms and kissed her.*****Hazel swallowed hard as her cab pulled up in front of Savor Voyage, the five-star restaurant Charles had invited her to. She wasn’t easily intimidated but somehow, she felt inferior seeing how everyone seemed to be achieving their dreams aside from her.“Hazel,” Charles called out to her, waving at her as he stood in front of the restaurant door.Hazel smiled and waved back while slowly walking towards him. “I’m glad you could make it,” Charles said as she slowly pulled her in for a hug. Hazel sm
Without opening the first page, Hazel closed the file and placed it in front of Cade, stating, "It's good—I guess." She continued, "Gabriel already said so," "Plus, I'm not qualified to judge them," she remarked, turning to go to her desk.Sensing something was off, Cade casually skimmed over the front page again."What say you? Do I need to put them on the list of potential clients? Gabriel enquired with curiosity. “Sure, I guess. You’re the expert here.” Cade gave his permission before dismissing Gabriel.When they were alone, Cade turned to face Hazel and saw the rage in her eyes. Her clenched fists and stiff stance betrayed the wrath she had been holding inside. Her eyes were blazing with passion. "Those were some familiar names." He struck up a discussion. However, Hazel continued to stare at her desk, pretending to be ignorant and unwilling to show her fury, which already screamed volumes. "Oh really?" “The one that caused my fall, his name was Alexander Frost, right? You
Cade was confused by her question, “Where is that coming from?” He asked clueless. “Why are you giving me a car? Because I look so desperate walking around your estate on foot?” She asked angrily.“No! Hazel, what are you saying?” He wondered, surprised by Hazel’s reasoning, “Because it’s written on the contract, remember?” he reminded her. Hazel smiled, realizing how stupid she was. She freed her hand from Cade’s grip and smiled, ‘How are you already catching feelings for this clueless guy?’ She mocked herself.Cade became even more confused by her sudden mood swings, “What's wrong?” He asked.Hazel found herself laughing harder for the next minute until she could eventually control herself. “Nothing, actually.” She replied, her laughter finally settling. “It’s just that I never learned to drive a car, I don’t even have a license. Remember I was disowned at 18 and Dad didn’t let me touch cars before then.” She reminded him. Cade felt a tinge of guilt but he quickly masked it with
Hazel’s hand clenched tightly in her thigh as she stared at Cade. The words he’d spoken echoed in her mind, cutting through her heart like a knife. ‘What was I thinking? That I am some Cinderella that just found her lost shoe?’ she thought to herself. Surprisingly, his confession stung like she never thought it would. “That’s what I thought! How she wishes to have a father like you!” Elise giggled delightedly as she pointed at Ivy, relieved by the news. Ivy started to cry, not because she understood what was going on, but because Elise was laughing and pointing at her.Hazel quickly squatted to her height and consoled her, “Ivy, don’t mind her, and tell me how your day went.” She suggested as she swept her from the floor and took her to sit on the couch, leaving them to continue their conversation. “Elise, she’s just a kid! Don’t go around talking to her like that!” She heard Cade snap at her. Ivy was thrilled to indulge in the new conversation her mom had suggested as she began
The lady looked behind and around her to be sure the question was directed at her. “Right after our call, you sent me the address yourself. Why are you asking me that and who on Earth is Hazel?” She asked, equally startled. “I sent you this address? It must have been a mistake, where is my phone?” Cade wondered as he rummaged through the pocket of suit and trousers for his phone. “Hazel is the real owner of this apartment.” He added, giving up when he couldn’t find his phone. “My suitcase!” Ivy exclaimed as she jumped from the couch and ran towards the suitcases scattered on the floor. Cade ran towards her and inspected it, realizing Hazel was already there. “Where is the owner of these suitcases?” he asked curiously. “Oh, that? Why is it still here?” She wondered, “It must belong to that creepy fan who barged into my apartment earlier.” She replied. “That must be Hazel. Where is she now?” He asked curiously. “Hazel? She has been arrested by the estate security guards. She m
The blonde was so shaken by Hazel's yell that she slowly backed away while Hazel grabbed her ice and ran to the bathroom to press down her pain. As the pain reached its peak, Hazel could barely feel herself from the waist down. It took several minutes of groaning and writhing before the pain started to subside as slowly as it came. Soon enough, the pain completely disappeared and she let out a sigh of relief, relaxing her back on the toilet seat where she’d sat all along. She looked around the bathroom and saw how luxurious it looked, there was no doubt the main building looked better. “Now that I've got a free house, should I use the compensation money to finally get a check-up?” She wondered, casually poking her lower abdomen with her finger. After contemplating for a while, she shook her head in disagreement, “No. This is the best time to prepare for Ivy's last surgery.” A broad smile spread across her face as she remembered, “I should also buy other things for her that are
Cade examined the building for a while before turning towards Gabriel who was standing behind him.“You did a great job with the interior. I like it. I guess my brother really told you all about me.” He commended, while Gabriel just smiled. “I hope Hazel will like it.” He added. Instead of staying in a hotel suite, Cade had purchased a luxurious building and picked the penthouse of the building as his new abode while he registered the rest as the company’s property as included in Hazel’s contract. Gabriel asked, “Do you really think she’s going to come to you? I mean she’s from a wealthy family and her brother is doing really great. If she’s that stranded she could just make a call and her life would be all roses again.”“Have you wondered why she hasn’t made that call after all these years?” Cade posed a question.“Umm…maybe because she’s never been so stranded?” Gabriel suggested. Cade sat up on one of the chairs and crossed his legs as he responded, “She went through hell just t
