Author Pov"So he told you everything?"Cyrus's calm voice scared her more than his angry ones. She stared at his covered back not knowing what to reply to him. Silence engulfed the room making her hear only their breathing and the loud sound of rain hitting the glass window."Then what are you waiting for?" Hazel frowned at his words." Laugh." He mumbled slowly turning around to face her."Laugh at me. Laugh at how this strong man here was nothing but a coward once. Laugh at how I am not really a narcissistic but an insecure man. Laugh at how I still get scared of those memories. Laugh Hazel. You should laugh at me I deserve your taunts, your mocking. Come on." Hazel sucked on her breath staring at him with stunned eyes.How can he think that someone can make fun of the things he had to go through? She can never say that he deserved that suffering. No one deserves such a thing. She stared at him still not saying anything. Cyrus chuckled shaking his head."Or you're pitying me. Hmm"
Author Pov Hazel entered the kitchen only to gasp out in horror. She covered her eyes turning around to not disturb the couple. Ana tried pushing Creed in embarrassment but he only rolled his eyes at the interruption. "I-I am sorry. I was just---" Hazel bit her inner cheek running out of the kitchen making Ana yell for her. "Hazel it's not like that." She again tried pushing his arm away from her waist but Creed only pulled her closer. Ana was busy making lunch for Hazel when out of nowhere Creed back hugged her startling her. She asked him what he was doing here and he answered with a simple sentence that he missed her. Analise took a lot of time in accepting Creed as she knew how dangerous and ruthless he can be when it's needed. But after spending her time with him she understood how of a good man he is. He never even for once invaded her privacy without her permission. He gave her the respect she always craved and after seeing his efforts and love for her she finally gave up.
Author Pov"I wanted to throw a party for you. A royal celebration but then I remembered." He paused turning his eyes towards her. Kissing her cheek he continued."My wife is really a simple person and she will definitely not like being a center of attention. That's why I decided to arrange this simple lunch for us." He said finally releasing her from his hug.Hazel just stared at the decoration with blank eyes. She did use to celebrate her birthday with her parents and after them with her aunt. But she was more surprised to see how much he knows about her. She indeed hates royal celebrations where too many people will give her attention. She always preferred a simple birthday.Her eyes flickered in surprise when she saw the dishes placed on the table. All of them were covered except for cake and a plate of cupcakes. It has several kinds of flavors.She looked up at him who carefully lighten the candle and smiled at her motioning her to cut the cake. She walked near the table only for
Author Pov"Can you forgive Camile and your father?"As soon as her words hit his ears his grip over her wrist loosened. Even Hazel felt him loosening his grip over her, she watched how his eyes turned from eager to shocked. He just stared at her with slightly wide eyes like he wasn't expecting her to say those words. Even Hazel was surprised herself. She was never a person to throw someone's bad memory on their face but right now he needed a reality check."No right?" She mumbled chuckling."Then how can you expect me to forgive you? Yes! My sufferings maybe aren't more than what you have faced in the past but it still can't change the fact that I still have suffered because of you." Finally, his hands left her completely as he dropped his arms beside him not removing his gaze from her face."If you can't forgive the people who tormented you, abused you, bad-mouthed you then how can I forgive the man who did the same to me? Funny how you're not even ready to forgive your uncle who ju

Author PovThey reached the mall and went inside it. Fred was tailing behind them keeping his gaze fixed on Hazel who was staring around the place with poker face. Soon Ana nudged Hazel pointing at the jewelry shop.“Let’s go there. I have noticed that I don’t really have much accessories.” Hazel smiled at her before shaking her head.“I want to look for shoes. You go there with the bodyguard. I will go and look for shoe shop.” Ana was hesitant as she looked at Fred who has his eyes away from them.

Author Pov Standing in front of the covered window he kept on glaring at the rapid rain falling over the glass. He gritted his teeth remembering the pain he felt when she mercilessly crushed his hope. His heart kept on slamming against his chest in resentment, anger, and sadness. He had no idea what to do to get rid of the uneasiness he was feeling inside him. He wanted to break everything around him, he wanted to hurt her, and he wanted to set the whole world on fire to get rid of his burning pain. But he couldn’t get himself to do so anymore. Once the man who used to destroy, kill and burn the reason of his anger to ashes now the same man couldn’t get himself to even go near her. He wanted to hurt her but at the same time, he couldn’t. Every fiber of his body was holding him back from even thinking of going near her with the thought of hurting her.
