Bella sat in the car, still reeling from Ethan’s unexpected actions. He had seemingly chosen some random strangers over her
leaving her humiliated in public.
She was fast loosing control, Ethan’s feelings were dying out. Frustrated, she dug into her purse, her hands vibrating with anger,
until she retrieved her second phone and dialed the only number stored there.
“I’ll be needing... that,” she stated decisively, her chest heaving with resentment.
“Are you sure? You need another package already?” the man on the other end inquired.
“Just how much are you drugging him?” he pressed.
“Don’t ask questions, just do what I asked,” she snapped, abruptly ending the call. As she reflected on the incident, her gaze
shifted to her arm where Ethan’s grip had left a mark.
Hazel was waiting, she begun anxiously pacing the room, she couldn’t help but feel something had happened to her kids
Soon Nathan made his way into the room with Daisy in his arm and Liam following closely.
“What took you guys so long? Where did you?...”
Hazel’s questions trailed off her eyes widening in shock and concern at the sight of Daisy’s bruised cheeks and Liam clutching
his arm. “Oh my goodness! What happened?!” she exclaimed, her motherly instincts kicking in.
“Momma,” Daisy sniffed, spreading her arms so her mom could hold her. Hazel grabbed her from Nathan’s arm, her searching
gaze shifting to Liam’s injured arm.
“Nathan? What happened?” Hazel demanded, her initial concern morphing swiftly into anger as she now held her children in her
arms clutching them tightly to her b*dy.
“Look at Liam’s arm!” She yelled.
Hazel’s anger intensified, a fierce protectiveness over her children emerging. The thought that someone could dare to hurt them
in such a way engraged her.
“What happened?! Explain!” She thundered.
Nathan sighed and sat down, he explained what had happened although he hadn’t mentioned Ethan.
Hazel’s fury boiled over. “Bella!” The name escaped her l*ps with a mix of disbelief and anger.
“Take care of them; I’ll be right back.” Blinded by rage, she attempted to walk away. “Calm down, Hazel,” Nathan pleaded,
“I don’t care, let me go.” She shoved Nathan away from herself, her determination clear. Seeing her resolve, Nathan reluctantly
let her go. She then instructed a nurse to tend to their wounds before storming out, heading for the elevator.
Before she could step into it, the elevator doors opened, revealing Ethan. “Where is she?” Hazel demanded the moment she saw
him. “Hazel, calm down,” Ethan pleaded, attempting to hold her arm. “Let me go!” She snapped, forcefully hitting his
arm away.
“They’re just kids! Why would she hurt them like that?” Hazel’s voice echoed through the corridor, laced with anger and despair.
The red marks on her children’s b*dy enraged her. In that moment, she wanted nothing more than to rip all of
Bella’s hair out of her head.
“Where is she? Are you hiding her?” Hazel’s voice intensified, the desperation evident in her tone. Ethan, recognizing the need
for privacy, managed to guide her away from prying eyes to an isolated corner of the corridor.
“Calm down, I sent Bella home immediately,” he explained, attempting to quell the storm raging within Hazel.

But his words only stoked the flames of betrayal in her eyes. Was he trying to protect Bella?
“Didn’t you see what she did?” She asked in disbelief. Tears were streaming down Hazel’s face freely now. Her fists was
clenched tightly and begining to ache. She badly wanted to punch and hit someone, that someone was Bella.
“I know, I saw,” Ethan responded, a simmering anger mirrored in his eyes.
“Why did you send her home? I badly want to punch her in the face,” Hazel’s frustration spilled over, fueled by a sense of
powerlessness. Her kids had suffered so much and the fact that Ethan had protected Bella only intensified her anguish.
First Bella had stolen her husband, her pack and her position, none of that mattered, but now she had hurt her kids! That one
shattered her. But what made everything worse was knowing Ethan had sent her home and was protecting her. She was so
angry she almost passed out.
“Why always Bella,” she sobbed, the pain of the past and present converging. Ethan, holding her arm in a calm yet firm grip, felt
the tremors coursing through her b*dy.
I know,” Ethan said, holding her arm in an attempt to provide some grounding. Hazel’s entire b*dy vibrated with restrained anger,
her frustration reaching a breaking point.
unleash the fury building up inside her. The unfairness of it all left her sobbing loudly.
“Hit me,” Ethan spoke abruptly.
“You’re angry, and you need a punching bag, so hit me,” he urged, offering himself as an outlet for Hazel’s pent-up frustration.
Hazel needed no other persuasion. Without hesitation, she unleashed all her fury on him. The first punch landed sharply, a
sudden pain coursing through Ethan’s gut. Blow after blow followed, a relentless assault as Hazel channeled her anger into
each strike.
Finally, she stood, her breath ragged, and Ethan could sense a certain satisfaction in her demeanor. She wiped her face,
pushing damp strands of hair away from her eyes, her chest heaving from the exertion.
As the storm within Hazel seemed to calm, she stumbled backward, Ethan reached out steadying her, finding support against the
wall she slid down gradually. Ethan lowered himself beside her, his arms offering a steadying embrace.
They sat together on the floor, Hazel’s back against the wall, her chest rising and falling with each heavy breath.
Her l*ps trembled parting slowly. The two sat in their own moment staring into each other’s eyes. Teary misted eyed Hazel and
calm Ethan.
Ethan’s hand moved instinctively, gently brushing Hazel’s hair away from her face, his touch lingering on her skin, stroking it
lightly.
“Hazel,” a voice interrupted, shattering the delicate atmosphere. Ethan shot a glare at the intruder, his moment with Hazel
abruptly ended.
Nathan stood there, unnoticed until then. Ethan stood immediately offering his hand to help Hazel to her feet. The aftermath of
Hazel’s venting and physical release had left her physically drained, sitting there in a state of numb exhaustion.
Nathan approached her, his voice soft as he suggested, “Let’s go in,” also extending his arm towards her.
Ethan frowned lightly, who’s arm would she take?
Hazel, seemingly oblivious to the unspoken tension, slowly raised her arm, reaching for Nathan’s. He helped her stand, and
together, they walked towards the entrance of the ward. .
“It’s time for the opening; we need to head down right now for your speech,” Axel informed Ethan, striding to where he stood.
Ethan nodded, a heavy, sigh escaping him as he retrieved his arm from its outstretched position.
