“I believe you,” Axel replied in a single word, gripping her palm ever tighter. The realization hit him-this
explained why she was so jumpy. He had noticed it himself. Whenever he encountered her-or walked
across the street from her, there seemed to be someone trailing after her. She wasn’t being frightened
or jumpy for nothing. And she wasn’t making it up: neither was she crazy. She clearly had a stalker.
“What time do you go to work?” he asked. She met his eyes, surprise evident in hers, clearly taken
aback by the sudden question.
“What time do you go to work?” he asked. She met his eyes, surprise evident in hers, clearly taken

“By eight am most days, she replied as they stopped at the front entrance of the building. “Why?” she
asked
him.
They went into the elevator, still holding arms. “Nothing,” he replied. Ethan taking his car tonight and
him. having to take this route happened to be a stroke of luck. He thought to himself, he had a feeling
that something really bad could have happened tonight. Whoever was following her clearly had sinister
plans.
Finally, they arrived at the floor of their apartment. “Goodnight,” Axel muttered. The two stood in silence
for a few heartbeats. Finally, her eyes faltered down to their adjoined arms. Realizing he was still
holding her palm in his, it felt like the most natural thing in the world to him. Her small palm fit snugly
into his larger one, and he reluctantly released her hand. His palm suddenly felt cold, Josing the
warmth of hers. He shoved it into his pocket immediately and turned to leave.
“Thank you,” she called just as he walked into his home. He nodded without turning back. She couldn’t
help but smile, feeling a huge sense of relief and gratitude. The night had taken an unexpected turn,
and Axel’s protective presence had made all the difference.
She made a me ntal note to never again return home late and also to purchase pepper spray and a
taser.
Those streetlights made things worse; they had to get changed, Axel thought to himself as he stepped
into. his home. He would see to it that the streetlights got changed first thing tomorrow morning.
The puppy, sensing its owner’s return, bounded over, wagging its tail in sheer excitement, seeking
attention and affection. Axel obliged, squatting down to stroke the furry companion. That wouldn’t do,
he concluded. For some reasons, he still felt a sense of restlessness thinking of just how terrible the
night might have turned if he hadn’t been there. That thought alone made him panic.
With a determined sigh, Axel retrieved his phone, dialing Ethan’s number, “Have my car sent back; I
need it,” he stated, the urgency evident in his voice. “Fine,” Ethan curtly replied. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“I have the butler drop it off later tonight,” Ethan added.
Axel, sensing Ethan’s evasiveness, inquired further, “Where are you?” A brief pause followed before
Ethan cryptically responded ignoring the question, “You’ll get your car before tomorrow morning,” with
that he hung
up.
Ethan’s gaze lingered on the top floors of the hospital, his mind filled with a tumultuous mix of
emotions. The twins, Daisy’ and Liam, occupied his thoughts like a persistent echo. Despite having
arrived at the hospital. some time ago, he remained seated in his car, grappling with the conflicting
feelings that surged within him. Earlier that afternoon, instead of spending precious moments with the
twins, he had abruptly left, leaving a trail of unresolved tension in his wake. Now, a sense of regret
gnawed at him as he pondered over his actions. He needed to talk to Hazel, to unravel the complexities
that seemed to entwine their lives.
Nathan, the man loomed in Ethan’s thoughts. The uncertainty about their relationship gnawed at him.
Hazel had Stated he wasn’t the father of her kids. Was Nathan merely a friend? The mere possibility
that he might be more ignited an unsettling sensation within Ethan. Hazel appeared comfortable around
Nathan, and even Liam seemed to had taken a liking to him. Envy surged through Ethan; a desire for
that warm connection he parceived between Hazel, Nathan, and the twins. Most times he had to sneak
behind Hazel’s back to meet with her kids and even with that, she had never smiled at him like that.

He was tired of having to hide to visit her twins when she wasn’t there. And now be felt a pressing urge
to be with them. It had been days since he had seen them or played with them.
With a determined breath, Ethan finally extricated himself from the confines of the car. He decided it
was time to be honest, to confront the emotions that had festered for too long. The yearning to be with
Daisy and Liam. had become insistent, and he couldn’t bear the distance any longer.
Ethan?” Hazel’s voice echoed with surprise as she encountered him minutes later at the entrance of
their
room.
“Hey.” He replied, a subtle nervousness lingering in his demeanor.
“Hi.” She replied, but he noticed the curiosity in her gaze. Ethan’s presence at that late hour seemed
unusual, especially after his abrupt departure earlier in the day.
“It’s pretty late, why are you here this late?” She probed, her eyes searching for an explanation. Ethan,
caught off guard, could not conjure a plausible reason for his unexpected return.
Ethan only stared at her, his mind grappling with the absence of a coherent excuse for being there.
Finally, he cleared his throat.
“Tm sorry about how I left and my attitude earlier,” he started, the admission hanging between them.
“You suddenly disappeared,” she remarked lightly, a hint of confusion in her expression. “You were
busy, I guess,” she shrugged, unable to comprehend the necessity of his apology or his second
unanticipated visit that same day.
“Listen, Hazel.” Ethan shoved his hands into his back pockets; a telltale sign of his anxiety.
“Ethan Wild, nervous?’ she wondered
“I don’t have a reason or an excuse for being here. I just drove for hours and found my way here,” he
confessed, leaving Hazel further confused.
