HAZELI was angry and I felt betrayed.If Miranda did not take me for granted, why would she keep vital information such as the identity of her ex from me?Did she deliberately do it because she wanted an opportunity to see her first love again? Thanks to her, I was wasting my time overthinking.I was especially angry because I felt like I had to compete with the little loser who called himself my nephew.Thinking about how I had caught him hugging Miranda outside and speaking of how amazing their love was only made me want to punch him in the face but I was restraining myself.Miranda had put me in an annoyingly difficult position. I hated the sight of Collins and wanted to send him out of my house but what would everyone think of me if I did that?It would be more humiliating if I revealed that I felt threatened by my little nephew. How could Miranda not understand the impact of her actions on my fragile heart?I had just learned to trust a woman again and now this? If only she had

MIRANDA I opened my eyes in the morning, stretched my arms, and smiled. Last night, I acted out a little drama and successfully got through to my husband.I was so happy that things were okay. Now, no matter what happened, I would not let any problems arise between us.Once the holidays were over and everyone had left, I would tell him the truth about Princess and help him get through Shayla's betrayal. As long as Hazel was happy, I would always be.But where was he? I got off the bed and was about to search for him when my phone began to ring.Before I could answer the call, it ended. It was a call from Melody and I was about to return it when I noticed that I had gotten a text message.I clicked it open and saw that it was from Hazel and it read, "Good morning, wifey.I'm sorry I was too zealous last night. I didn't want to wake you up because I knew you were still exhausted from our activities.I had to run to the office because something came up. If you need me to get anything fo

HAZELAt work, I couldn't stop thinking about Miranda. She dominated my mind and the words she had said to me last night kept ringing in my ears.It had been very difficult to leave her in bed and show up at work in the morning. If I didn't have important work that needed my attention, I would have spent my entire day with her in bed.I rushed through the documents in front of me as I wanted to get it over with and return to my beautiful wife.While I was still working, I got a message from my sister. I didn't want to see her message because she had been getting on my nerves lately.Nevertheless, my curiosity got the better of me. My mom had told me she would be busy at her own house, so I wondered if Florence had upset Miranda in my mother's absence and earned herself a slap in the process.The idea of Miranda putting Florence in her place got me excited and I eventually opened her message. To my surprise, her message was full of pictures of Miranda and Collins with the words, "Guess

MIRANDAAfter Hazel ignored me and drove away, I wanted to chase after him on foot when Collins stopped his car in front of me and insisted on giving me a ride."Leave me alone, Collins," I yelled and ran out the gate but Hazel was gone. There wasn't even a sign of his car.I felt sad and worried. I didn't know why Hazel suddenly had a short fuse. I didn't want us to fight, especially because our enemies would jump on the opportunity to cause a rift between us. I could not even remember putting my phone on silent mode.Left with no other choice, I turned and walked back into the house, ignoring Collins who was still waiting inside his car for God knows who.I washed up and lay on the bed, thinking about what to do. I still needed to call Mel to talk about the plans I had come up with, for us. However, with Hazel's behavior, I wasn't in the mood.All I could think of was the way he had angrily left. I decided that whatever the problem was, I had to make sure we sorted it out before the

MIRANDA"Miranda?" Collins woke up at this point and called out my name in surprise when he saw me."Hold on, Hazel," ignoring Collins, I got off the bed and ran after Hazel, stopping him just outside Collins' room."Miranda, why did you sleep in Collins' room?" Mrs. Hermes asked me before I could speak to Hazel. "I don't know," I told her. "The last thing I remember is drinking the glass of alcohol you gave me in one go after we toasted."Her eyes widened in surprise, "Really? You were just a little drunk last night when you left me. You told me that you wanted to be with the love of your life and I asked you to go to him.""Wow!" Florence suddenly exclaimed. "It is said that the heart doesn't lie when a person is drunk. Miranda, how dare you consider Collins the love of your life when you are married to Hazel?Why did you marry my brother when you knew you were in love with my son?""Shut up!" I yelled. "Stop spouting nonsense, Florence.""Hazel, it's not.....""You should stop dece
