Broken Bonds: I want her back 018
Chapter 18Hazel’s POVI could hear Noah calling me but I ignored. I was not in the head space to listen to whatever he had to say. He could go be with his cute little family for all I cared. My heart was hurting so bad but I was not going to cry. This was a public park and I did not want children and adults to see me wailing with snort all over my face. I was going to hold the pain tight inside until we get home. I had gotten over him, why then was I feeling this hurt? Prior to meeting Noah accidentally at the club, this was the second time I was seeing him after the rejection. Apparently the pain had not depreciated.I walked to Lucas and told him that we needed to leave. He looked at me strangely wondering what had brought about the change. “Mummy, where is our ice cream?” Kayla asked.“Mummy did you get the vanilla flavor I wanted?” Kaiser questioned.“No, I am sorry. We have to leave now. We will get ice cream next weekend.” I said.“But mummy, you promised to take us swimming.”

Chapter 19Hazel’s POVI woke up early to help Lucas prepare for his business trip. I knew he was capable of sorting himself out but I wanted to help. I was also feeling guilty about the way I behaved some time back and not giving him a positive feedback. He had not said anything more about the two situations and I had not bothered to broach them. This was because I did not know what to say to make him feel better. I had not made a stand yet. We were aware of the eventuality but we decided to stall.“Enjoy your trip.” I bid him farewell. I was standing at the door. He turned, looked at me and smiled before asking, “Are you not going to hug me?” I blushed before leaning in for a hug. “That’s my girl.” He said as he ruffled my hair. “Please take care of the children. And yourself, okay?”“I will. Call me when you get there.” I said. He got into the car and the driver sped off.I was going to miss him. I had gotten used to having him around the past few months we had been here. I knew

Chapter 20Drake’s POVThe rejection hurt me to the core. Who did she think she was to refuse to go on a date with me? Didn’t she know that women fought to get my attention? She was throwing the same attention to my face and it pissed me off. How dare she? I was going to teach her a lesson she was going to remember forever. She was an outcast who was supposed to feed on the crumbs that I had offered her. Instead, she opened her mouth and told me no. Nobody said no to me Drake. I was a powerful alpha with several subjects who worshipped the ground I walked on.The first thing I did was follow her discreetly. I carefully followed the cab she had gotten into. I did not want to spook her. The cab stopped at a school gate. I watched as she talked to the cab driver for some seconds before alighting. She walked inside the school and headed straight to what looked like a class. One minute later, she came out holding hands with two kids; a boy and a girl. They looked happy to see her. I could

Chapter 21Drake’s POVI was seated in my office trying to calculate the profit margin we had had last week when someone knocked my office door. I was too busy and did not want to invite the person in but the knock persisted. I was going to punish that person. Didn’t they know, that if someone refused to let you in then you were supposed to leave because they did not want to talk to you?“Come in.” I said before stretching my arms to eradicate the exhaustion I was feeling.The door opened slowly to reveal the front desk manager in her skirt suit. I was angry at her for interrupting my work.“What is it that you want that cannot wait until I am done? Have you forgotten about my rule?” I asked. “And you better have a good explanation.” I hated being interrupted because I had specific time allocated to specific things.“I am sorry sir but it’s…” Someone pushed her and she almost fell down.“You fool, how dare you call the security on me? Don’t you know who I am?“ It was Roxie. Now I unde

Hazel’s POVI was going through the rest of the files I had been given when the woman that was in Drake’s office walked past my desk. Her hair looked dishelved and she was trying to button up her coat with one hand as the left hand was holding her heels. I don’t know if she sensed that I was watching her, because she turned, walked back to me and offered me one of the deadliest stare I had ever seen. “Stay very far away from Drake. You do not want me as an enemy.” She said. Her eyes were red from both anger and frustrations. She then squinted her eyes and pointed at me with her shoes before walking out of the building. That was weird. I had nothing to do with Drake. I had turned down his offer, so why was his girlfriend or whoever she was threatening me? I was here to work and not solicit with my boss. I also did not want to be roped in in a fight between two lovers.“Hello Hazel.” Drake called. This was barely five minutes after his guest had left.“Good morning sir. Do you need any
Broken Bonds: I want her back 023
Hazel’s POVI had racked my brain for days trying to think of who would have hated me so much to threaten my children. An answer came to me one evening when I was brushing Kyla’s hair. I had totally forgotten my encounter with Roxie. I was not sure if she was going to act on her threat. I could not quit my work for her when I had just started to enjoy the benefits of working a decent job. All I had to do was ignore and stay clear off Drake’s path. I was not going to let Roxie actualize her plans and harm my children.I managed to avoid Drake for almost a week. I would go to work early, finish any work that needed his signature and take them to his office when he was still away. Once, I came to work and found him in the office. I had to bribe the only person I was friendly with to take the documents to him. It was like a cat and mouse game. Whenever I saw him coming, I would rush to the washroom or kitchen to get water. I barely responded to his greetings. “Are you okay? You barely st

Hazel’s POVThe children had already gone to sleep. I had cleaned the utensils we had used and was now watering Kaiser’s cactus. He had already watered it but I chose to do it again because I wanted to avoid Lucas. Before dinner, he had wanted to have a serious conversation with me. I did not know what he wanted to talk about because there was an array of issues I had not yet discussed with him. I was not used to sharing my problems with anyone. For a long time, I solved my issues alone, I stewed over them, thought of solutions that best fit me and made the appropriate move.“You have been in there for quite some time, are you sure you are okay?” Lucas asked me for the second time when he came by the children’s room to bring their school shoes. He liked brushing them himself.“Yes. I am good. I just needed to water this cactus.” I said.“Didn’t Kaiser water it this evening? I am sure he did because I was the one who helped him fetch the water.” He looked at me keenly, his eyes making
Broken Bonds: I want her back 025
Hazel’s POVI was playing with the twins. Kaiser had invented a game and wanted us to join in. It was a fun game. We each had thirty seconds to look around the room then we had to close our eyes. The ‘leader’ would then ask us to point out something with a specific color that was in the room. It was fun and challenging at the same time. Between my two children, Kyla was more outspoken. She loved outdoor activities and preferred going to the park rather than staying in the house. Kaiser, on the other hand was an introvert who was very handy. He fixed and broke things in equal measure. “Mummy, mummy, someone is at the door.” Kyla called out. She had gotten bored of our game and had gone to find her dolls and teddy bear.“Who is it?” I asked as I walked towards the door.“I don’t know. He is carrying a box.” She answered.Curious, Kaiser trailed behind. I was almost reaching the door when my phone rang in my pocket.“Hello.” I picked it without looking at the caller ID.“Don’t be late.
