Hazel’s POVThe bond I shared with Lucas grew stronger. He’s been really helpful, especially with my pregnancy and keeping up with Lexi’s appointments.I had to stop working but he never made me feel like I was jobless, my due date drew nearer and with each day that gets closer I get scared.“You’ll do just fine.” Lucas assured me when I was having my panic attack and Mr. Robert handed me a bowl of soup.“I tell her that every single day, she’s going to be such a good mom and I don’t know why she gets so scared of being weak or something.” Mr. Robert added as he went to sit.Both my landlord and Lucas have been all shades of helpful and I had no idea what I was going to do with my life without them. The third trimester of my pregnancy has been rough and I didn’t know if I would be able to do it.“I know. I just get scared because of my underlying conditions, you know?” I answered and mr. Robert smiled as he consoled me.“What underlying conditions?” Lucas asked, “Look, the doctor know
Damian’s POV“You’re not the father.” The doctor’s voice kept ringing in my ear and although I was very happy about it, I couldn’t believe it.I hated the fact that I was made a fool, I harboured her and lost the one I loved the most because of her. I lost everything because a sick psycho woman came to my house one day to announce that she’s carrying my child.Pacing around the room, I pinched the bridge of my nose as I ran my fingers through my hair and I laughed. Turning to look at Isaac, he tilted his head one side and I laughed again as I made my way to him.“Did you hear that?” I asked amidst laughter, “did you hear him? I’m not the father of the damn child!” I yelled each word one after the other and Isaac’s eyes went shut.He knew what usually happens to people who lie to me and I swear that this wouldn’t be different. She had it coming the moment she stepped foot into my eyes.“Damian.” Isaac called softly when I turned in Lillian’s direction, my face still filled with amuseme
Damian’s POV“Lucas? My brother, Lucas?” I asked and he nodded, spitting out blood and holding his stomach as he moved his head.“He came to Paris and tried to persuade me but I couldn’t do it, I left and he found Lillian. I swear to you that I had no intention of being a part of this…” he explained and I could hear the pain in his voice.“He went to Lillian and the wench came back to me, told me I could make a fortune from the plan and…”“Did you stop to think about your life and how you could lose it if I found out?” I asked, interrupting his explanation and the room fell silent.“He threatened to kill my family, he threatened to kill Nana and right now she’s in the hospital because he beat her up when I disagreed even when he asked Lillian to change my mind.” Elijah was already crying.My heart sank and I couldn’t imagine the pain his grandmother could be going through at the moment. I love his grandmother and she wasn’t only his nana, she was mine too.She took care of me and was
Damian’s POVDriving like a maniac, I went directly to the house blinded with rage. I didn't care if I was going to meet my mother there, all I cared about was finding Lucas and making sure he regretted doing this.Grabbing a stick, I kicked the door open and went directly into every room, searching for Lucas. Theodore saw this and followed me.“Where the hell is he?!” I yelled as I kicked the last door open but I didn’t wait to get an answer before going to the backyard.Scanning the garden and every other place I could check, Lucas was nowhere to be found. Running my fingers through my hair, I turned to see my father already standing behind me and my blood boiled again.“Where is he?” I asked, making my hand into a fist and groaning as each word rolled out of my tongue.“Lucas?” He asked and I have never been angrier, I hate it when I get another question as the answer to my question, “he left town the last time you came here and hear him up till he’s almost dead!” He yelled at me.
Hazel’s POVIt’s been almost a week since I had Asher and although being a new mother was a lot, it came with a lot of responsibilities and struggles that I had no idea about. I was grateful for my best friend.Alesha took it upon herself to come here to help me and Lucas would occasionally come to help out with anything he could and I couldn’t be happier.“Feed that child, Hazel. He’s been crying for hours!” Alesha called to me from the kitchen, she exaggerated Asher’s crying because he only just started and that was because I stopped feeding him.“He just finished eating and is only crying because I stopped feeding him. I’m tired, he’s sucking the life out of me!” I called back and she laughed.Lucas also laughed at me and I shot both of them with a glare that only Lucas could see because Alesha’s back was to me.“Well, can you blame him? He’s doing something you won’t allow any other man to do so just let him suck on those titties!” She laughed before abruptly stopping as she remem
Hazel’s POV“Oh my god!” I yelled, jumping immediately I walked into the house and saw Alesha at the door. I had no idea she was the one standing there and I was scared.“Shh, you’re going to wake him.” She whispered and I looked ahead of her to see Asher sleeping but soon shook in his sleep and started crying.“Great, he’s awake,” I replied as I made my way towards him to pick him up, “why were you at the door?” I asked and she shrugged.Having my seat on the couch, I placed Asher properly on my lap and, unhooking my bra, I put my breast in his mouth so he could feed.Cleaning the bead of sweat that formed on his forehead, I laid back and rested my back on the couch as I tried to regulate my breathing.The memory of everything that happened tonight came flooding back to me and I couldn’t help but let out a smile as I thought.Why did he look so handsome? For the first time in a long time, my body reacted to someone and he didn’t even touch me. I knew that I’m still not over Damian y
Hazel’s POV “Oh my god!” I yelled, rushing to cover myself with the towel on my bed as I made my way to get the door for Alesha. Thank goodness I locked the door because I had no idea what I was going to say to Alesha if she saw me masturbating.“He won’t stop crying,” she started as she handed Asher to me and I laid him on the bed, “I changed his diapers too so I’m guessing he’s just hungry.” She added and I smiled as I nodded.We said good night again and I walked back to my bed to plant a kiss on Asher’s head, “mommy was about to give herself some toe curling pleasure and you had to have Alesha bring you back?” I asked amidst laughter as I laid down beside him.He wouldn’t stop crying even when I tried to feed him so I had to walk around the room dancing and hoping my ritual to get him to sleep would work.His crying subsided and he kept yawning, it didn’t take long for him to fall back asleep and I couldn’t be any happier.My eyes were heavy and tired, I was also feeling sleepy.
Hazel’s POVHis lips on mine was like the collision I didn’t know I needed, he held the back of my head still and I let out a soft moan in his mouth as his tongue explored my mouth.The kiss was soft and slow and for a moment I just wanted him to have me right there and then, his fingers ran through my hair and he’d attempted to break off the kiss when I smacked my lips back on his. Kissing him roughly and with a hunger I had no idea about, he responded with every ounce of him. His hair flowed from his face like a crest and I groaned as I moved it.Lightly, he fingered a loose tendril of hair on my cheek and lifting one hand, he slipped his fingers under the shoulder strap, his fingers stroking my arm sensuously and it slid over my bare arm, slightly pulling down my sleeves.He moved his lips from my mouth to my neck and sucked on it hungrily but sensuously as his fingers trailed down my temple.Nervously, I ran my fingers through his hair again as I pressed his mouth on my neck and
