Hazel’s POVIt’s been two days and I barely left my room or even ate properly. Groaning, I stood up from my bed and made my way out of my room to find that breakfast was ready.“Why are you still home?” I asked Alesha, confused because she was supposed to be working now but she only shrugged me off.“Someone needs to take care of him.” She answered, referring to Asher and also scolding me about not coming out of my room.“You’ve been indoors for two days, who’ll keep an eye on him?” She scolded and I groaned as I apologized to Asher. He doesn’t deserve to see me like this.Alesha told me she had the week off work, the company decided to give her a break but we both knew that Damian was the one who’d authorized her break.“So, I’ve decided to spend this week with my best friend and my godson.” She laughed and I weakly joined in. Alesha had suggested that we go to the park to have fun but I wasn’t in the mood to have fun.Like two days ago till now, I just wanted to be in my room cuddle
Damian’s POVAfter almost passing out the last time I saw Hazel, I had no other choice than to go to the hospital and allow myself to be treated.“If you had consented to the surgery then all these wouldn’t have happened.” Isaac scolded and his voice kept making my head to ache even more.“Keep your voice down,” I groaned, “I’m not doing the surgery until I’m sure things are good between Hazel and I.” I explained and I watched Isaac slam his hand on the steering wheel.What good is life if I’m unable to spend it with the person I love the most in my life. Seeing her again despite her anger towards me gave me a sense of peace that I’ve been missing for years.I couldn’t stop thinking about her and I also didn’t want to. I didn’t want to get the thought of her out of my head.Picking up my phone, I ordered that every one of her movements be watched. I needed my men to be with her everywhere she went and make sure that she wasn't troubled about anything.I made sure that they reported to
Hazel’s POVEverything happening around me seems more suspicious than usual. First it was the park and when I’d tried to pay for everything we got the vendors all kept telling me the same thing that it had been covered.That wasn’t the only strange thing happening to me, I felt like I was being watched or followed. I never really felt alone in places I should feel alone.“Don’t you think it’s suspicious?” I asked Alesha who only shrugged and shook her head, she has no problem as long as she doesn’t have to pay for things.“Come on, someone probably already has a crush on you and is just making sure you don’t have to stress yourself trying to pay for things.” She replied, shrugging me off and not seeing anything wrong.“Exactly why it’s so creepy and dangerous, how would anyone know where I’ll be even before I get there?” I asked and a realization fell on her as she sat beside me.“I also feel like I’m being watched and followed,” I added and her eyes widened, “I told you coming back t
Hazel’s POV Did he just ask me to get in his car? Just when I’d humiliated and embarrassed myself in his house like some minutes ago.The sight of him caused an internal conflict within me and I was stuck between listening to him and getting into his car or snapping his head out of his neck.But most of all, I was angry. He’d seen the things he could do to me, he knew how extremely vulnerable I get whenever he’s anywhere around me and he’d decided to use that to his advantage.Angrily, I stood and walked away from the bus stop, from him but his car wouldn’t stop following me. I turned to see that he was still driving behind me.The car stopped and he got out of it, his massive shoulders filling the cloth he wore, his muscles rippling under the comfortable white shirt he wore quickened my pulse and I gulped down when he stopped in front of me.“Stop following me and just let me be, Damian please.” I tried to tell him off but I could also hear the vulnerability in my voice.“I will lea
Damian’s POVI knew she wanted to get a reaction out of me, I could see right through her and just like I’d told Isaac, I knew she wasn’t married.Watching her leave the coffee shop, I stood to follow her and offered to drop her off but she needed to pick up her child from school which makes me feel even better.I’d be able to execute my plan just how I wanted to.“You don’t have to worry, I can pick him up with you and I’ll drop you both off at home.” I offered. She refused and said she was going to pick him up herself at first but soon changed her mind when I insisted on driving her there.Getting into the car, the drive to his school was silent and although I was dying inside, I wanted to do things to her just like I usually do six years ago.I wanted her to feel comfortable around me like she once did. I still loved her and since she left It’s been like there’s a hole in my heart which only her presence could fill.We soon got to his school and we found Asher waiting for Hazel. Th
Hazel’s POV“He asked if Asher was his son and I didn’t know what to say so I just lied.” I explained, answering Alesha’s question when she asked about what was going on between Damian and I.“You lied to him about his own son!” She was almost yelling but soon controlled herself when she remembered that Asher was in the other room.She doesn’t seem too impressed with what I did but I knew deep down that even if everyone chose to go with my lies, Damian wouldn’t.He knew everything about me, he knew when I’m lying and when I’m telling the truth and I silently prayed that he doesn’t find out until I’m able to tell him that Asher is his son.“That is so not cool, he deserves to know and if you don’t tell him he’ll find out sooner or later,” Alesha’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts.“Have you seen the both of them, they look exactly alike and hiding the truth for so long would do more harm than good.” She added and I hated to agree with her but she’s right.“I’ll tell him, I just need
Damian’s POVI couldn’t be any more excited getting to meet my son, I understood why she kept him from me for so long but right now all that mattered to me was forming a bond and getting Asher to like me.“He’s just like me and the kid already knows his cars at that age,” I laughed as I spoke to Isaac about Asher and I could tell that he was also happy for me.“I’ll ask Hazel if I could bring him home and…”“Didn’t you both say you wanted to take things slow? Bringing him now would be too sudden for the little man.” He cut in and I nodded like he could see me.“Yes but he now knows that I’m a friend of his mom so it wouldn’t be weird if Hazel comes too.” I explained and Isaac let out a sigh.“I guess so.” He replied and I couldn’t stop talking about all the things I planned to do to make up for all of the times I’d missed in my son’s life.“You better make it right this time, Damian!” I heard Lyla’s voice in the background and I laughed as I promised that I would try my best to not sc
Damian’s POVTalking to her was just so easy and I couldn’t help but get engrossed in whatever it was she had to say. We caught up and spoke about the years we spent apart.“And you know I was also…” I was still talking when my alarm went off. I pulled out my phone to see a reminder to pick Asher up from school.I had no idea how much time had gone and I was grateful for the fact that I’d set a reminder so I wouldn’t forget about picking my son up on the very first day that I’d tried to make things right.“Would you look at that?” I started as I took a glance at my wrist watch, “I had no idea how much time had gone.” I laughed and she joined in as she agreed with me.Guess it’s because we both enjoyed each other’s company.“Did you set an alarm for when you’ll pick Asher up from school?” She asked and I could tell that she was a little bit surprised but more impressed.“It’s my first time and I don’t want to be that kind of father that forgets his son at school and makes him wait.” I
