Hazel’s POVThe sudden sound of my phone ringing jolted me awake and I looked at my bedside clock to see that it was still 3 AM.Who could be calling me by this time?Groaning, I struggled to find my phone and when I picked it up, the caller ID I saw was one that got me angry at once.Why does he keep calling me?Ignoring the call, I switched my phone off as I decided that I was going to get a new number in the evening on my way back from work.I tried to sleep back but it seemed difficult and I had to put on a loud ASMR to help me sleep and thankfully it worked because my eyes got tired and soon went shut.“Hazel?” I heard my landlord's voice followed by a soft knock on the door and I groaned. I didn’t want to get out of bed but when I opened my eyes to see how bright it was, I jumped up at once.The knock on the door came again and with a towel wrapped on my head and my brush sticking out the side of my mouth, I walked to the door to open it.“Mr Robert,” I called. I initially thoug

Damian’s POVNot wanting to stay in the house any longer, I walked to my car and drove off. I made my way to the hospital where Hazel’s brother was.That was the second place I went to whenever I wanted to get things off my chest. Sitting and just talking to Callum even though I knew he wouldn’t be able to answer was therapeutic.The poor boy must’ve been tired of me showing up and talking about his sister all the time, he must even hate me for hurting his sister the way I did but I hope he understood that I didn’t mean to.It was late by the time I got to the hospital and parking my car properly, I made my way directly to his ward. Everyone around knew better than to stop me from going to him.Even though it was past visiting hours I was still allowed to see Callum anytime I wanted to. Stopping for a moment, I opened the door and I was disappointed yet again.Part of the reason why I usually go to the hospital was because I always held out hope that I was going to bump into Hazel som

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“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

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
