Hazel’s POV“Oh No.” I muttered under my breath, I knew what he meant when he said that no one else would ever bully our child again and for a moment I couldn’t help but get scared for the family of the child.“Please tell me that you didn’t order for the child to be beaten up?” I whispered to him when we got to the Ice cream parlor.Asher had already broken the hold and I knew that he was trying to be mischievous with the vendors. I had no idea how he does it but he usually ends up tasting all of the ice creams and telling me not to worry if I actually want to buy some.“Should I have done that instead?” He asked and my eyes widened at once, “hold on, I’ll make a call right now.” He added and before he could bring the phone to his ear, I snapped it out of his hands.The sound of his laughter made me know that he was just pulling my legs and I wanted to punch him. He stood in front of me, hovering over me and for a moment all I wanted to do was stand on my tiptoe and kiss him.“You re
Damian’s POV“What’s wrong with her? Is she okay?” Hazel asked as she set Asher down on the couch and clutching my phone tightly, I shook my head.I’d just gotten a call that my mother had already gotten another episode of her heart failure and it was severe this time.I’d thought the surgery she had the last time already lessened the chance of something like this happening but I was wrong. I explained to Hazel in a way I could and I could see the worry on her face grow.“I’ll go with you.” she let out as she also picked up her coat and wanted to follow me but I stopped her. I couldn’t let her come with me especially after knowing that my father might be there.“No, don't.” I refused as I explained to her that someone needed to take care of Asher and I wouldn’t want him to wake up to see both of his parents gone.“I really need to go alone.” I finished and after much persuasion, she finally agreed to stay back in the house.“I’ll be waiting for you, please be fine.” She said softly an
Hazel’s POVIt seemed like my question had unlocked a different kind of emotion in him as he fell in my arms and I staggered a little bit but soon balanced.I knew at that moment that I needed to offer him comfort in any way that I could because I knew how much he loved Betsy.“She died in my arms, Hazel.” He sobbed and I just asked him to let it all out instead of talking. I felt kind of happy that he still found me worthy enough to show this kind of vulnerability around me.It’s been years and seeing Damian in a state like this somehow gave me the assurance that I needed that a part of him that was always comfortable with me was still there.“You’re okay, you’ll be fine.” I assured him in a whisper and I swallowed when I felt him hold me tighter and pulled me closer into him.“I thought that…” he was still trying to talk when I hushed him to keep silent and we both stood there in the middle of the large sitting room for a while as he let it all out.My legs began to ache and I felt
Hazel’s POVLaughing and crying at the same time, I hit him softly and I just couldn’t seem to stop. I was happy that he was fine because seeing him in that state of unconsciousness scared me.“Why didn’t you tell me you were sick?” I asked as I hit him again but this time I was unable to because he caught both my hands in his and clasped them together.“I didn’t want to bother you with my own issue,” he answered as he stared into my eyes, “did you really mean everything you said earlier?” He asked after a while of silence and I nodded.I saw his lip curve as though he’d wanted to smile and I’d wanted to move my gaze away from him but I couldn’t. It felt as though my eyes couldn’t do anything else and I had no idea what came over me as I leaned into him to kiss him.It was at that moment that I realized just how much I missed him all over again. I missed the feel of his lip on mine and the way his hands always send chills down my spine.“If I knew that falling sick was all it would ta
Damian’s POVIt’s been two months with Asher and Hazel and things have been going so smooth that we finally decided to tell Asher that I’m his father.It was difficult because today is the day we would be letting the cat out of the bag and I could literally feel my blood going cold, my palms were sweaty and cold at the same time.I had no idea how Asher would take the news of me being his dad and that was what was getting me nervous since the boy has a huge grudge held against his own father.He’d mentioned it multiple times how he would tell his dad how much he hated him for letting him grow up with just a mother all those years.I couldn’t count the amount of times Asher would come home crying about the fact that he got talked down to because he doesn’t have a dad but I told him not to mind them and also handled things my own way so he wouldn’t come home crying anymore.Getting ready to go to the restaurant that I made reservations at, I made my tie and it seemed too tight that I ha
Hazel’s POVWe got home late and everywhere was dark and silent, Asher was already asleep so I let Damian set him down in his bed as I headed back outside with a glass of wine and two cups.Sitting in the gazebo and enjoying the gazes at the stars while I waited for Damian to come join me since I texted him already.I was engrossed with the stars I was watching that I had no idea when he came behind me and held me. Laughing, I turned to look at him and we kissed for so long.“Thank you for helping with all these.” He appreciated me and I smiled as I assured him that I was going to be with him every step of the way.Pouring the wine, I told him we needed to celebrate and we were almost done with the glass of wine as we talked. I could feel everything around me turning around but I could still know what I was doing. My pussy throbbed and I should’ve known that my body and alcohol don’t go well.Sitting on Damian’s lap, I wrapped my arm around his neck as I kissed him and his hunger mat
Damian’s POVThe day went by fast and soon the girls went somewhere to talk while I sank into the couch beside Isaac.“You’re really happy now, yeah?” He asked as he tilted his head to look at me and I moved my head back and forth in a positive nod.“I told you things were going to fall in place.” He smiled, he was right. Isaac had tried multiple times to tell me that I was going to be fine but most of the time I just ignored him.“You did and thank you for that.” I smiled back as we clinked our bottle of beer against each other. I was grateful for Isaac and if it weren’t for him I probably would’ve gone crazy by now.“So, how are we doing on sales?” I started after taking a sip of my beer and Isaac told me how everything was going.Things were moving even better than I expected it to and I was glad, “since you started paying attention, things have been better.” Isaac commented and I let out a sigh.I couldn’t help but think about the bits that Lucas had taken over when my father clai
Damian’s POVIt was a weekend and we’d already decided to take the kids to the park today. I could also use a little bit of fun with Hazel and I couldn’t wait to run around with my son.Getting ready for the park, Hazel and I got outside to see Asher and Emma putting on a matching outfit and I couldn’t help the laughter that escaped my mouth as I took a look at Isaac who only shrugged.“They insisted, we had no choice since you both didn’t plan on coming out any time soon.” Lyla explained and she sounded exhausted.I couldn’t imagine the amount of trouble the kids had put Lyla and Isaac through when Hazel and I were busy fucking.“Daddy look, Emma and I are matching.” Asher pointed out like it wasn’t glaring enough. Holding Asher and Emma, we all made our way to the car and drove down to the park.It was a fun filled day and I couldn’t help but wonder how and where Asher got his strength from. The boy has been running around all day and he still had no idea plans of resting.“Daddy, t
