Today was the day Hazel needed to go to the main family's house to hear her deceased grandfather's will.
However, she knew that she wouldn't get anything from their family business. Her grandfather had made this announcement a year before he passed away and ever since then, her relationship with her scumbag boyfriend went down the hill, until she discovered he had an affair with Gaia, her older sister.
Actually, that did not come as a surprise, knowing Hazel was a result of her mother having an affair nineteen years ago with a random man and getting pregnant with her. By some miracle, her mother managed to convince her father to stay in this marriage with a bunch of promises and accepting a lot of insults.
You could imagine what kind of childhood that Hazel had to go through. They even let her know the same at such a young age and put her in place whenever she acted out, not to mention, her mother would turn a blind eye whenever she cried for help.
She was kicked out of the family house once she turned eighteen, but two weeks ago something bad happened to her and she had to find a place to stay.
Out of options, Hazel went against her better judgment and asked for her mother's help, and she let her stay in this house, since they had never used this. She thought she was being so generous and always held it above her head whenever Hazel brought up the fact that Gaia had been cheating with Stefan.
Hazel sighed and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She looked horrible. She looked more like someone, who had gone through hell and returned, though she had never really traveled there.
However, what made Hazel suck in a cold breath was the glaring red mark on her neck. It was so red, it was hard to tell whether it was a kiss mark, or this man just whacked her neck.
Hazel immediately rushed out of the bathroom and found the man was still in her room. He looked very leisurely and had his arms folded in front of his chest, making the bulging muscular arms beneath his white sweater that he was wearing obvious for the viewers to see.
However, Hazel was too furious to indulge herself in such a sin by gawking at him. She stomped her feet and asked for an explanation. "You left a kiss mark on my neck!"
To Hazel's surprise, he didn't deny it at all. "That's a love mark, my love, a different thing," Micah corrected her. He looked amused when he saw the spot Hazel pointed out with her finger.
"How can you do that?! I will report you for trespassing family's property and sexual assault!" Hazel snapped grimly, but Micah didn't seem to bother.
"Sue me as you like. If that makes you happy, you can do it." At this point, he would even make a trip down to hell if that could make her happy. He just wanted her. He wanted his whole family again. Iris. It would be two years from now before he could hold his sweet daughter again.
"I will. I will sue you!" Hazel glared at him and then returned to the bathroom. "After I am done dealing with my problems, I will definitely sue you."
For now she needed to get to her family house before those people could talk bad about her and made her life a living hell more than this.
Meanwhile, Micah walked out of the room to meet with Jaxon and Archer, who had been waiting for him. He didn't allow any of them to step into the bedroom, no matter how curious they were. Especially his gamma, he could be so jittery to know this girl in person.
========================
Hazel walked out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed and slightly better. She still felt very tired, but she didn't have time to slack off, as she would be late if she left the house any later than this.
Therefore, she grabbed one of her best dresses to wear to the hearing. She didn't live in luxury like Gaia, who would only wear the latest branded clothes. Regardless of how ironic it sounded, Hazel didn't have money to afford it.
Hazel sighed in relief when she didn't find the man, whose name she didn't know, inside her bedroom. Probably he had left.
However, in her hurry, Hazel dropped her towel and reached for her dress when someone opened the door abruptly and caught her in such a fragile situation.
Hazel immediately crouched down and scrambled to cover herself with the towel. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" she could feel her whole body heating up. Her face turned so red.
Yet, Micah didn't seem to bother about that. He had seen and touched every inch of her skin and even though he would never get enough of her, this was not the time to scare her with his primal instincts. He would get her for himself eventually, it was only a matter of time.
"I brought this for you," Micah said, as he walked closer and draped a yellow dress over her shoulder. The dress was long, but it didn't look too casual for such a formal event.
"Get out!" Hazel didn't even look at the dress, she lifted her chin and glared at him, still trying to cover her body desperately.
"Wear this or I will not let you go out of the house." Micah tousled her hair and smiled softly. She looked like an angry kitten. Feeling satisfied, he walked away.
Once Micah was out of the room, Hazel cursed under her breath and took a closer look at the yellow dress in her hands. She knew this brand. This was a new brand that was on the rise, but only a few people knew of it and Hazel really liked the clothes from this brand.
The price of this brand was not really exorbitant, but there were some designs that were expensive.
How did this man know about it?
