She shrugged her shoulders, straighten up, and looked at me without a hint of regret.
Flash back
"Your father turned me into the monster I am today.
I loved him with my entire being, he was my first love, I gave him my virginity and all, but that monster cheated on me, every night he came back home from his mistresses house I was there to clean him. I begged him to stop, but no, that monster was building another family with his mistress.
" They had a child, together, the company I worked so hard to build, he willed every penny of it to his illegitimate daughter cause he saw me as nothing but a barren woman.
"Few months later I noticed I was pregnant, I was filled with joy. I knew everything would go back to normal once I gave him the son he's always wanted, unfortunately I had a girl,
Our family was perfect, so I thought untill I realised your Dad was having another baby with his mistress. I couldn't take it anymore, so I poisoned her. Luckily she survived but lost the baby. Your father hated me for what I did, and that's when I met Carden, he was young yes but he showed me love I never knew existed, I groomed him Into the man he is. Ruthless and arrogant, everything was going perfect untill you came into the picture and ruined everything.
Mom spoke calmly, her face was emotionless maybe even abit more arrogant.
I felt my throat being crushed.
Pain, panic surprise, I could choke on my sensation but I didn't utter a word.
" Carden loved me despite our age differences, but when he found out I was married with a kid, everything changed, I staged my own death just to be with him,.
" But you ruined everything, he stayed away from me, and in other to compensate you for stealing your mother, he decided to be your guided Angel, he looked out for you from a distance, he watch you grow, he saved you from death countless times from Lizzy and Emily, you took away everything his love his attention, and I hate you for that.
"No.... This can't be true.
My throat was dry, my hands were sweating, and my heart was beating slowly yet so heavy that it hurt.
Like a ghost I walk out of her room.
"Haz....
A voice I didn't have time to figure out came. I sat still unable to move. Those I had loved so much betrayed me without blinking, Mom, Dad aunty Lizzy and Emily, to think I would have been death by now if Carden wasn't in the picture,
"Carden.... He had an affair with my mother, and now me, he slept with both mother and daughter. He claimed to love both mother and daughter.
" Sky and aunty Diane knew everything and kept quiet, I have been living under thesame roof with my own mother for over 2 months.
Mrs Smith knew everything too. Everyone lied to me. They all betrayed me.
" Aaaaaaaahhhhh, it hurts
I squeeze my chest, the pain becoming unbearable, a pair of strong hands wrapped around me as if trying to take some of the pain away.
"Carden, his eyes locked on mine as he pulled away slightly giving me some space. I opened my mouth but nothing came out,
" Breath Hazel,
He said in a soft voice almost affectionately, meaning to calm me down.
" Did you threaten aunty Lizzy and Emily into acting lovingly towards me. I asked hoping he would say no, hoping maybe at least they realise their mistakes and wanted to start all over. He stayed silent only meaning one thing.
" I wanted you to be happy, everything I did was all for you, I saw how much you yawned for your family's love, I did it all for you.
" I wanted my mother, I yawned only for her love, and that love you had all this while, you kept her away,.
" all this while she was your love and I your guilt.
" You all won, congratulations,
I close my eyes as he laid me comfortably on the bed and dozed off immediately.
" Forgive me wifey, he kisses my forehead, it wasn't my place to meddle in your family's affairs. Gianna left you out of her own will.
" I promise you it's all over now, I won't let anyone or anything hurt you again.
" Carden,.. you need to see this, Ethan spoke from behind him,
covering me warmly with the duvet he left with Ethan,
" Sky keep an eye on Hazel and don't let Gianna anywhere close to her,
Sky rush upstairs with one of Cardens men as they Dash away.
" Carden drove on high speed as they headed to their destination, a bunch of his men driving behind them in a roll. Cardens intense gaze leaves no doubt about his defiance,
Coming to a deserted part of the city Carden killed the engine of his car and got out, Ethan followed suit holding his gun tightly.
" We finally meet, Carden addresses the gang standing a few meters away from him and his men.
" I heard you've being looking for me, here I am, a man with a red mask said, probably the leader of the other gang.
" Red dragon, I must comment you did a good job in hiding your identity from me for so long, but I guess it ends now.
He chuckles evily, most of the gang members of red dragon were shivering but dare not back away probably scared of their boss.
" Where are my goods
He went straight to the point not wanting to waist anymore of his time,
" Get them if you can, a van zoomed away in full speed as gun shoots erupt the air, men drop dead from both side, as Carden focus on one person, the man in the bulls skull. He moves forward as Ethan shield him from the attackers who were deeply reducing in number,
" Only a coward hides behind a mask,
He fires shuts at red dragon, but he was quick in dodging them.
" I want that bastard alive, he'll pay for Daring to go against me, Cardens men rush after red dragon as he zooms away in one of the cars,
" Boss we got hold of the truck carrying the weapons, some of our men's are taking them to the warehouse already, he nodded pleased with the good job.
" Let Ethan handle that coward,
Ethan was good at everything, that's certainly a small task for him.
