MIRANDA I stared at Hazel in shock while he smiled, started the car, and began to drive."Why? Are you too impressed with your husband? Is that why you can't stop looking at me?" He asked.I nodded, "Yes, I just realized now that you're much more amazing than I ever thought."He chuckled, "That's nice to hear.""Do you know I had thought you fell for her trap?""What trap?""Well, she made it seem like there was going to be an exchange, asking you to come with Ramos so you could free me from her. However, she told me that she already had snipers stationed in different locations to take you out.She planned to kill you right in front of me and afterward give me a slow and painful death. I was so scared when I thought you were going to fall into her trap. I pleaded with her. I was willing to do anything, even though I knew how dark her heart was. I kept begging her to spare your life, but she refused."He laughed, "Wow, my dear wife. It seems you really do not know what your husband i

MIRANDA Hazel lifted his brows while I added, "Besides, the slap did not hurt. You know her bones were frail and weak so she must have suffered more pain when she hit me.""Are you sure it doesn't hurt?" He asked, disbelief written on his face."No, it doesn't," I lied because I didn't want him to worry anymore.""Still, I'll apply something to stop it from leaving a scar." He replied."Hazel, you should stop worrying too much. I'm a big girl. Besides, I'm safe, and I'm here with you, what else could go wrong?"I could see that Hazel was still upset by the fact that I was earlier hit by the old hag but what was the need of getting angry at the dead?I decided to change the topic and asked, "Don't you have any friends? Ever since we got married, I have never seen any of your friends. Why is that?"He held my hand and led me into the house "I have a friend, Tyler. We're a bit close and he believes we are best friends, but we don't meet too often.""Really? And I genuinely thought you h

MIRANDA Hazel's eyes lit up in excitement as he slipped his lips against mine, once before opening my mouth with his tongue. He sucked on my lower lip, running his fingers through my hair. Then his hand moved lower and I felt his thumb on my nipple.Just as a moan escaped my lips, he swept me off my feet and carried me out of the bathroom and into the bedroom.Once he placed me on the bed and climbed it too, I grabbed his hair and dragged him down, pressing all of my soft curves against his body. My skin was hot and damp and my pussy was wet and open, ready for him as I spread my legs and reached down to grasp his erection. I kissed his ear and when he groaned in pleasure, I whispered, "I want all of you, hubby."The next day, Hazel and I got ready and left the Villa together. Before I woke up, Hazel had ordered so many designer dresses, shoes, bags, makeup kits, and so on. Everything was delivered at home and they were all so beautiful that I had no idea what to wear.In the end,

MIRANDA I extended my hand and slapped Collins again as I also yelled, "Who gave you the right to say my name? You think too highly of yourself. Who the hell are you that I will make a major decision in my life just for revenge against you? You are insignificant to me and there's nothing between us. Hazel is my husband and that is the only thing that matters to me."As I spoke, I moved back toward Hazel and covered one of his fisted hands with mine. However, he pulled his hand away and took a step away from me.My heart began to race. Was Hazel buying Collins' stories? A relationship I had clearly ended before I gave my heart to him, how could he doubt me because of that?A car suddenly drove in, diverting everyone's attention. Once the car came to a stop, the doors opened and Shayla and Princess came out."Daddy!" Princess exclaimed the moment she saw Hazel. As though he was all she could see, she excitedly ran to him and hugged his leg.Hazel lifted her and carried her in his arms

MIRANDA I left the room with my mother-in-law and we both went to the dining room. Seeing the different number of people eating in the dining, I felt uncomfortable and really had no desire to eat.However, I spotted Hazel sitting at the head of the table. By his right, Princess sat down while Shayla sat at his left. Meanwhile, there was no seat left for me as Hazel's mom took the last seat and ordered one of the maids to get a seat for me.I recalled what Shayla had said to me outside and scoffed. It was obvious she deliberately sat beside Hazel, where I ought to have sat. Was she planning to make the three of them look like a complete family? Well, not on my watch!Just as the maid came with another chair and placed it beside my mother-in-law, I walked toward Shayla and said to her, "Get up, you are sitting on my chair."Everyone's attention became focused on me, except Hazel and Shayla who pretended not to have heard me."What are you saying, Miranda?" Florence, Collins' mom blurt
