Chapter 12 - Chapter 11

Hazel's POV

The reception passed in a blur with everyone congratulating me,I just went with the flow smiling and nodding my head to whatever they were saying,my feet was killing me and I was hungry,I breathed a sigh of relief when Xavier suddenly put him arm on my waist and led me towards the car,we sat in the back seat,I smiled at the driver as he tipped his hat at me and drove off to Xavier's house,I peeked at Xavier from the corner of my eyes,he was looking out the window with an expressionless face,I turned away and rested my head on the car seat and drifted off to sleep.

I slowly opened my eyes rubbing them as I slowly scanned my environment,It suddenly dawned on me that I was still in the freaking car with the windows rolled down.

What the hell?

He left me in the car,I could feel anger coursing through my veins,I opened the car and stomped into the house,he sat on the sofa with his phone in his hands,he was dressed in a black shirt and grey sweatpants,I glared and stood right in front of him.

"Why the hell would you -"

"Good,you are finally awake,Martha will show you to your room"he cut me off gesturing to the woman who stood a few feet from him,she was the same person that had opened the door for me when I first came.

"What kind of asshole are you? Couldn't you atleast be a little polite to wake me up?why would you leave a person in a car"I yelled in his face but he looked totally unfazed and it irked me.

"Refrain from using that tone on me,no one asked you to sleep in the car"

"You are really inconsiderate and mean,I can't believe we are supposed to coexist together"I spat out,an angry look crossed his handsome features as he strode towards me,he gripped my arm and dragged me close to him.

"I'm warning you,don't speak to me like that again"he released me with force making me stumble back,he turned around and walked up the stairs while I glared at his long legs hoping he'd fall, Martha who had been standing witnessing the whole incident, cleared her throat lightly before speaking up.

"Mrs Blackwood, please allow me to show you to your room." I sighed tiredly and nodded as she led me up the stairs and took me to the left wing of the magnificently stylish house, the right wing was off limits, Xavier's room was in the right wing and I was more than happy,I was going to avoid running into him at all cost,we stopped at the second door in the hallway,she gently opened the door and ushered me in,I gasped slightly at the sight,the room was bigger than my apartment,a queen sized bed was in the middle,a vanity table,and a fucking walk-in closet,my clothes had been neatly arranged in the closet along with other expensive looking dresses,shoes,bags and acessories,I furrowed my brows eyeing the things.

"Mr Blackwood asked me to get you a change of clothes and get rid of your old ones,but I figured that you'd still want your old things"Martha said noticing my confused look,I gave her an understanding smile and thanked her while I cursed Xavier silently.

"I'll be downstairs ma'am,just press this button if you need anything and I'll be here to attend to your needs"she pointed a small red looking button close to the bed.

" Actually,I was wondering if I could get something to eat" a sheepish smile appeared on my face,I felt very uncomfortable asking her for anything.

"Of course Mrs Blackwood,I'll fix something for you,please give me five minutes" she smiled warmly at me and excused herself,I flopped on the bed almost moaning at the immediate comfort it gave me,and before I knew it,I drifted off to sleep completely.

One week later

"This dress is totally gorgeous Haze,wear it"Today was Cass engagement party and the wedding was in three days,she was excited and she also kept forcing me to wear dresses,I had tried out some already from the numerous dresses that lines her bed,she was already dressed in a red dress that hugged all her curves and stopped at her mid thigh,she had curves all in the right places,her body like that of a model but she wasn't so skinny,I kind of envied her body type,I was on the thicker side,big boobs,C cups precisely, wide hips and a big butt,I always wished I was on the skinny side,so my only solution was to wear big ass clothes.

I finished Cass make up and I patted myself on the back for a job well done while Cass was surprised and impressed,make up was literally the only thing I was interested in,I didn't get any intensive training since my parents died quite early before they could support my dreams,I'd usually just dabble on my face for fun and before I knew it,I became so good at it.

"Alright,I'll wear it" I took the white dress from Cass and wore it,the dress was pretty and it hugged my body,I felt a little self conscious but Cass insisted that I looked stunning, I wore it anyways after series of threats from her,I did my makeup and but my hair up in a bun and put on a pair of gold heels and then we sat to wait for the driver to pick us from her house to the venue.

"So how's married life,I'm curious" Cass suddenly asked me making me smile nervously, Living with Xavier wasn't so bad since we practically avoided each other,he'd go to work very early when I was still asleep and come back hours later when I had fallen asleep,it was a win win situation for me.

"It's err fine" she giggled like a school girl making me roll my eyes.

" So do you guys like have sex everyday? I'm sure you must have christened every part of the house"she smirked slightly as I turned red.

" We don't- ... I mean yeah"I lied through clenched teeth while she laughed embarrassing me more.

"So any tips? Like amazing sex styles that make men go Gaga?" I gasped as my face turned redder,at this point getting hit by a train would be so much better.

"Well I'm not a virgin,I lost it when I finished highschool but Jace and I haven't really done the deed,Jace insisted on doing it after marriage,unlike Xavier,Jace didn't like the play boy life,so he's a virgin"this was certainly shocking since he was Xavier's friend,I also expected him to have flings,I tried to hide my shock and met Cass eyes,she was looking at me expectantly.

"The tips?"

"Umm I - " I was cut off by Cass ringing phone,I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the mirror to look at my reflection while she spoke on the phone,I was totally clueless,I didn't know anything about sex,I was a virgin,no surprise there since I never had time to date anyone.

"The driver is here Haze",let's go"Cass grabbed her clutch and gave her outfit a once over before nodding in satisfaction and dragging me me with her out of the house,there were two cars outside and I recognized one.

Xavier was here to pick me.

The door of his car opened and Xavier came out looking handsome as usual.

Ugh!

I stood still, shamelessly checking him out,he wore a black suit with a white crisp shirt underneath,the suit hugged his body to perfection,a slight smirk played on his lips and I frowned looking away, mentally scolding myself.

"Xavier is having a hard time looking away from you,I knew this was the right dress"Cass whispered and walked to the other car and slid into the passenger seat,she was right, Xavier was checking me out,he opened the passenger door for me and I forced a smile and sat down while the closed the door lightly and got into the driver's seat,the car started moving and I willing myself not to look at him,I realized that I had not seen him all week,he didn't seem bothered by it and neither was I,but a part of me wanted to ask.

"Why did you come to pick me? I thought I was going with Cass" I asked nonchalantly as I took my phone and played Candy crush.

"The media is going to be there,it's going to stir up controversies if I arrive alone,they know that I'm married"

"that means they are going to see my face and my picture will probably be everywhere,how will I go to work? They will definitely hound me and make my life miserable"I didn't like the idea of Paparazzi tailing and following me around.

" You are correct,that is why you will quit your job" he stated calmly like he had not just dropped a bombshell

"What? There is no way I'm quitting" I huffed folding my arms.

" Suit yourself then,you'd eventually quit,it's for your own good,as I stated in the contract,I'll be catering for your needs,money is not a problem.

While I hated the idea of him paying my bills,He had a point,I kept quiet and looked out the window,few minutes later we pulled up to the venue,the press were everywhere,they immediately surrounded the car,Xavier turned to me and spoke.

"Don't answer any questions and stay close to me" I gulped and nodded.

We got out and his arm immediately circled around my waist bringing me very close to him,close enough to smell his intoxicating cologne,the press was crazy around us as they asked numerous questions and kept clicking their cameras,Five heavily built men came in front of us and paved the way for us to pass,we got inside and I breathed a sigh of relief,the hall was beautifully decorated and they were alot of people,most with extravagant dresses,a few rich looking people came up to us,Xavier introduced me to them while I flashed them my best fake smiles, Xavier's arm never left my waist,Jace and Cass were receiving a lot of congratulatory speeches,I caught Cass eye and she waved making me smile instantly.

"Xavier Blackwood,good to see you" a man who looked like he was in his late fifties came up to me and Xavier with a sly smile on his face, Xavier frowned immediately and his hold on my waist tightened,I could tell that he didn't like the man and for some odd reason I held his hand in mine,he looked at me weirdly but I smiled at him and he smiled back hesitantly before turning to face the man.

"Mr Jefferson" Xavier said regarding him coldly,he seemed unfazed and his eyes turned to face me,lingering a bit on my cleavage,I wanted to claw his eyes out.

"What a lovely looking lady you have with you" he took my hand in his and brushed his lips against my skin making me shiver slightly in disgust"I'm Willam Jefferson" I smiled tightly and retracted my hand from his hold.

"This is Hazel Blackwood,she is my wife" Xavier brought me even closer to him

Willam smiled again and removed his gaze from mine"she's a real eye candy for men" he chuckled making Xavier clench his Jaw,a guy called out to Willam and headed to where we stood,the frown on Xavier's face turned deeper,I looked up to see a familiar pair of brown eyes,he was glaring at Xavier and then his eyes suddenly locked with mine.

"Hazel?"
