11:09pm at CLOUD CITY restaurant
hazel was already exhausted by the time her
shift was over and she was so happy to go home
"goodnight aunt Maria"
hazel said as she waved at a middle aged lady behind the counter.
she waved back with a smile on her face.
"goodnight child"
the lady said
"take good care of yourself "
hazel who was about to exit the restaurant turned back and smiled warmly obviously touched by the woman's word.
"I sure will"
and with that she ran off to the restaurant parking lot and raced to where she had parked her car.
her car was nothing special just an old family wagon.
she got in and sighed, obviously tired and sleep ridden.
she stared the engines and thirty minutes later she driving on the lonely highway.
hazel so badly fought the urge to close her eyes and sleep as if it was the devil himself.
the road was utterly lonely apart from the fact that a car would pass by once in a while.
she decided to turn on the radio maybe it might help.
"are you kidding me"
hazel grunted in frustration as the radio station only played slow music making her want to fall asleep even more.
hazel took one good at the road.
it was empty.
slowly hazel gave in and closed her eyes.
not caring about her surroundings.
And as the devil would have it, she unknownly changed lanes and a found herself in the way of a speeding car.
it horned loudly piercing hazel's sleep fogged brain and immediately waking her up.
"oh my God" she shrieked, panick seized her as her eyes widened she felt like she was looking at death eye to eye and there was no avoiding it.
the car in front of her immediately served in hope not to crash with her car, it drove past her, it's tires screeching loudly, then a crash sound played and lingered in her ears settling at the bottom of her very soul and leaving her empty.
"oh my god" were the words she kept repeating as she pulled over and excited the car.
her eyes grew bigger in size as she immediately turned doe eyed.
she ran like a mad woman towards the car chanting
"are you okay?"
the car crashed into a tree leaving the front damaged.
she saw a neatly dressed man standing beside the car, he didn't look injured,thank God, she sighed in relief.
"are you okay sir"
hazel asked her voice dripping with concern.
the man turned to stare at her and she froze.
his hair was gelled backwards, and the black suit he wore made him look like a butler.
"are you okay ma'm?" the man asked, he looked decent and his words were spoken gently and with etiquette, but still his words shocked her, she made him crash and still asking about her, she wasn't lying wheh she said she was touched.
"I'm fine but are you okay?"
the man nodded with a brief smile.
" I'm so sorry,I didn't mean to, I'm sure I could help pay for the dama......
the rest of her words got stuck in a throat as she gazed at the car.
she bit her lower lip to stop herself from cursing.
the car she was staring at was nothing to be compared with her old wagon car.
staring right at her with a damaged front was a black mercury Bugatti Veyron, one of the most expensive cars in the world.
"p..pl... please s.sir how can I h.help you b.b.because I'm not sure if I c.c.can p..pay for the d..d.damage"
hazel suddenly found herself stuttering as fear seized her heart.
" I'm sorry but you have to speak to my mas.. boss "
hazel frowned In confusion.
"boss?" she inquired.
" you have a boss, please can I speak to him?"
" his in the car"
the man answered.
hazel turned around and stared at the tinted windshield, she began tapping each and everyone of them making the man to raise a brow.
" you can't do that, it's disrespectful to the young master "
hazel suddenly froze and snapped her head towards him.
" young master?"hazel brow raised in confusion.
there was a sudden tap at the windshield coming from the other side of the car, the man immediately ran to the other side and opened the door for whoever was about to come out but not without bowing in respect.
the man came out and with slow graceful steps he walked towards hazel.
the temperature immediately dropped making everywhere bitingly cold and chilly for hazel and the fear she felt immediately dissolved in helplessness but she was still very much scared.
the man stood in front of her with walked with confidence and pride.
he stood in front of her, his eyes cold and devoid of emotions, the air around him choked of arrogance and wealth, his face glittened in the night with wealth, hazel frowned, she suddenly found herself able to use her tongue after so long.
"l..l.. Liam?" she stuttered nervously.
a crooked smile animated on the side of his lips as he tiled his head slightly to the side.
" who else"
hazel bit her lower lip and stared at him, her face suddenly doubled up in anger as she puffed her cheeks in anger making her look like a six years old who just got bullied as her blue eyes sharpened in the dark, she looked so cute,Liam couldn't help but feel amused.
"and what are you doing here?" hazel asked, looking at his handsome face got her angry.
Liam chuckled lightly.
"you think I'm handsome?" he suddenly asked
hazel was taken aback, she blinked twice as she stared at him with her round eyes boring into him.
"how did he know, I was just thinking about it"
she thought, her eyes suddenly widened and she placed her fingers slightly against her lips
"could it be I said it aloud" but still she doubted.
" forget it, earlier you asked me what I was doing here, but I'm very much certain that, that should be the last thing on your mind right now knowing the fact that you just caused an accident, damaged my car and perhaps caused me some injuries"Liam said.
hazel's eyes suddenly widened in realization as panick gripped her fragile little heart and concerns spreaded across her face.
" oh my gosh, I totally forgot about that" she said as she rushed towards him and started touching his body, she unknownly held his head and forced it side to side against his will.
"are you okay ?, where are you hurt"
she cupped his face in her hands and forced him to look her in the eyes.
"wait let me check if your okay"
she placed her forehead on his own to check his temperature, knowing he wasn't running a fever or wasn't hurt she relaxed a bit and the tension she felt eased.
"goodness you're okay"
she said and was about to back away when she felt his one strong arms wrap around her waist while the other hand pinched her chin and forced her to look up.
his cold deep voice suddenly pierced and penetrated her ears, his face loomed in like the moon as he brought his face closer and tightened the grip on her waist so badly that she yelped and her hands unconsciously found its way to his shoulders and grabbed it.
she stared at him, his face was so close that she could feel and scent his breath on her face.
his voice drummed and vibrated through her bones as he said.
" are you trying to seduce me now snowflakes, you naughty little slut"
her eyes widened and a thought ran through her mind.
"did he just call me a slut, and how the hell am I going to pay him for his damaged car"
