SIXTY TWO
The place is dirty. Dust everywhere. The leaves continue to fall littering the ground that looks gray and gloomy. Strong winds made the tree branches clash and squeak. The place was cold. Not only did the warmth not radiate in this place because of the autumn season, but because the place did not have a soul. Cold. Empty. Gray. Lonely. All that lived in that place were soulless bodies. They died.
"This is where Calvin is buried. This time I mean it.”
Her hunch had been bad ever since Kiev turned his car into a narrow, deserted road. Though she had thought she would be escorted to Calvin's hideout all this time because the man was on a mission, but her guess was wrong. Kiev instead drove her to a cemetery on the edge of a very quiet D.C. city. In this place there are almost no signs of life. The tomb here looks unkempt. Most of them have even been damaged and show an increasingly sinister shape.
Hazel really wouldn't want to set foot in this spooky place if it

His coming today was greeted by the autumn wind that blew so hard and the cold was able to seep into the thick coat he was wearing now and the yellow leaves that were scattered along the hospital grounds. This is a regular visit every week. He never missed a visit and would still visit even though his schedule was very busy. Even his wife nagged every time he got home because he never spent more time with her if she wasn't sulking or even grumpy. He didn't understand why Calvin was his favorite so far. He had only liked him since the first time he met him at the military camp in search of a potential agent candidate. At that time Calvin looked different from the other soldiers. Despite all his glorious achievements, Calvin has something in him that manages to captivate him. "Good evening, sir. Regular visits?” A man in uniform greeted him warmly. The man was one of his men whom he had specially assigned to this hospital to look
DESPERATE LOVE SIXTY FOUR
Taking a deep breath of Seattle air, then exhaling it was painful for Calvin, who was still recovering from the shooting incident. The membranes of his kidney were torn and the surface of his intestines pierced by bullets, at least that's what the doctors who treated him for nearly three months in D.C. said. After that the treatment was continued with physiological therapy to flex the nerves in his legs which had not been moved for a long time. Wasn't Edgar serious about his revenge? He thought it was much worse than death though. Every day for a month in the hospital, he never did not feel pain in all parts of his stomach. Even though strong drugs had been injected into his body, it didn't lessen his torment in the cold lonely nights. Not to mention that he always had to rely on inconvenient tubes to perform various vital activities, eat and defecate. The intestines are directly connected to the tube. Likewise, when going to urinate, he uses a catheter which sometimes also
DESPERATE LOVE SIXTY FIVE
The first thing Catherine saw when she opened the door for the bell ringer was a grim face and red eyes from crying too much. The smile on her face soon disappeared and was replaced by a worried look because she found Hazel coming home in a condition that wasn't what she expected. She thought Hazel would be happier after coming home from D.C, considering she'd gotten what she'd wanted all along, a chance to meet Kiev and ask about Calvin. But what she saw at this time actually looked worrying. Hazel's condition had become much worse than the last time she had seen her before she left for the airport full of joy. "The girls?" she asked wearily as she plopped down on the couch. She had tried not to cry the whole way from the airport to her apartment. And now she felt really tired like her energy had been sucked out of her body. "Still in school. Emily's home in an hour. Zinny has ballet classes after her school." “Oh… I miss them,” Hazel groaned in frustration.
DESPERATE LOVE SIXTY SIX
Entering the third month of her pregnancy, Hazel found it much easier to regulate her emotions and live out her days as a judge. Sadness about Calvin's death still haunts her, but it doesn't have the hysteria effect it had a few weeks ago when she went to see Kiev in D.C. Currently her focus is only on her work and also her family. She tries to be a good mother to her two daughters because that is her main responsibility. Her love for Calvin was also important, but the man was dead. There was nothing she could do to bring him back except to pray for him and reminisce about all the wonderful memories they had together. If only Calvin didn't die and was still alive to be by her side. She desperately wanted to tell the world that she loved Calvin and was expecting their precious baby. Unfortunately Calvin is not here to be with her. That made her feel a dilemma. She doesn't know when exactly she will be able to tell everyone that she is pregnant. The people in her office haven'
DESPERATE LOVE SIXTY SEVEN
"I woke up earlier than you, alarm." Calvin smirked at his alarm, which was just about to go off loudly to wake him up. Six in the morning. It was the time displayed on his digital clock screen, but he had been awake since two hours ago. He'd brewed coffee, had breakfast bagels, and now he's doing some exercises with dumbbells in the mini gym at home. He shouldn't have to set an alarm just to turn it off and mock it because he wakes up earlier than the one he set to go off at six. But this is fun. He was happy to have something to laugh about after more than two weeks of living in this secluded house and getting bored. Shit! He returned to his gym, intending to continue some training before cooking something to eat. But he suddenly lost his will to do the exercises. The scars on his body gradually healed. Now is the time to restore the muscle mass that had slackened due to the long rest he did in the hospital. Unfortunately now he feels lazy to do the exercis
DESPERATE LOVE SIXTY EIGHT
Countless times he did this in a week or maybe two. Who knows. He had forgotten the last time he checked the calendar. Every day he always wakes up at four o'clock. Do a few stretches. Drinking coffee. Go to the gym room to train. He ran from the gym to his room to turn off the alarm that was about to go off at six o'clock. Then showered, had breakfast, got into his cool car, then sped off down the deserted street to the courthouse where Hazel worked. Now he really looks like a maniac. The very regular rhythm of his life sometimes makes him bored, but he has not found other pleasures that he can do to replace the boring rhythm of his life. This time he tried to vary the rhythm of his life by watching Hazel from a distance while occasionally taking pictures of her. He already had hundreds of photos of Hazel on his phone. Later when he has a thousand photos of Hazel, he will print them and create a special room in his house which he will name the Hazel Room. Yeah, that
DESPERATE LOVE SIXTY NINE
"You've been waited by two officers in your room. Everything is alright?" Hazel arrived from the courthouse with a listless face that looked exhausted. The aura that the woman gave off made Mrs. Eden look at her worriedly. Lately, Hazel's condition is quite worrying. It was rare for her to see Hazel's smiling face and instead see her frown like this. "Wyne. He whirred like a bee all around me. And lately I keep feeling worried because of the terror.” Mrs. Eden seemed more interested in the Wyne issue than the terror that was haunting her. Her face showed over-interest with a gleam of happiness on her face as she said Wyne's name. "Wyne loves you. I'm glad he started to persevere to approach you. What did he do to make you look this upset?” She didn't agree with Mrs. Eden at all. Wyne's idea to captivate her heart to get her love must have been supported by Mrs. Eden, so now Wyne looks more daring and sometimes pushy. This afternoon whe
DESPERATE LOVE SEVENTY
He must be crazy. Yeah, he really was crazy for coming to this office to get a closer look at Hazel. The temptation to see Hazel was really hard to resist. In fact, he was getting more and more addicted to seeing Hazel after two weeks ago he had ventured to see Hazel from a distance. It seems all the temptation to go on vacation becomes bland and seems boring. He'd better quench his thirst by looking at Hazel as much as he could, even if it meant holding back jealousy because that guy named Wyne was always orbiting around Hazel. Entering Hazel's office building, he acted like a client about to file a lawsuit. The less stringent security system in this building made it easier for him to go to Hazel's room on the fifth floor. They should have beefed up the security here since he'd broken into Hazel's office to find her address. But nevermind. The security system was no longer important to them since his name was cleared and the real culprit had been arrested. It's like
