TAMING HAZEL

CHAPTER TWENTY

I'm surprised to see security guards around the premises, Klaus has never been the kind to keep security guards.

"Why all these guards?"

"Klaus made these developments the moment Kyle was brought home"

"But why ?" I ask confused

"He's a billionaire honey, and their children, especially their sons are always targets. The heir is always the biggest threat to the enemy"

"Wait!, Is my son's life in danger?"

"I did not say that Hazel, I was only trying to explain why Klaus' yard is packed with security guards"

"Oh..." Is all I can say. As we drive in further were stopped by a security guard but the moment he sees Wendy, he lets us through. She parks in the driveway and turns off the car engine.

"You take it from here"

"Huh?"

"You go in there and make things right with Klaus and also apologize to Kyle for not seeing him until now"

"Why aren't you coming in?"

"Why on Earth should I do that?, I don't want to get caught up in you lovers reunion and I know the two of you are going to cry . I don't want to witness that"

"You're a clown, you know that right?"

"Yes I do and lest I remind you, Kyle is just a few months old, no matter how you guys do it, try not to conceive just yet please"

She says naughtily and I smack her head hard.

"What was that for?" She asks with a frown as she rubs the spot.

"And I thought Blake was the one teaching you how to talk dirty, now I realize it's actually in your DNA"

"You still can't survive without me"

"Go away" I say as I open the car door and step out.

"Drive safely honey, I love you"

"I love you more"

And I know she does. She reverses the car and drives out of the compound while I take calculated steps towards the door. My heart starts hammering against my chest and I try very hard not trip as I walk because my legs are already shaky out of nervousness. I don't even know how I'm going to start apologizing to Klaus for all what I've put him through.

What if he's fed up with me and doesn't want me anymore?

What if he throws me out and never lets me see my son again?

No, my Klaus will never do that to me. He loves me dearly and I believe that he will forgive and I promise that if he does, I will do everything in my power to be the best mother and wife in the universe. I will love him unconditionally and take care of him like no other, together with our baby.

All I ask is for second chance.

I step on the porch and ring the doorbell and moments later, the door is opened by a no nonsense looking middle aged woman. She stares at me blankly from head to toe probably wondering who I am and what I'm doing at her master's house at this time.

"Can I help you?" She asks with a serious a serious tone.

"Um...please is Klaus at home?"

"And you are?" She asks rudely.

What the hell!

"Hazel, the mother of his son" I say putting on a no nonsense look.

"You're Kyle's mother?" She asks surprised.

"Yes I am"

"Please come inside" I follow her into the living room.

"Forgive me for being rude earlier, just that we received strict orders from Mr Arthur to not let anyone in except close relatives"

"It's okay. I understand"

"Come on ,I'll show you to his bedroom"

"It's fine, I can go there by myself"

"Alright then"

"Thank you" I take the stairs leading to Klaus'bedroom, walking slowly like never before.

I have never been so nervous in my life. All my life I have been the one rejecting people but right now I risk high time rejection. What if he just looses his temper and commands his guards to throw me out?

Oh my God I'm loosing my mind right now. All I need from Klaus is a second chance. I pray he doesn't throw me out of his house. This is the moment I need him to have mercy on my like never before.

When I arrive at his door I knock and when he says "come in" I slowly open the door and walk into his bedroom. Immediately he looks at me, I do what I never imagined I would do in my entire life particularly for a man. I go down on my knees and burst into tears.

"Hazel what are you doing?"

He asks aghast as he rushes to me

"I am submitting myself to you Klaus and I am begging for your forgiveness"

"Hazel..."

"Please let me finish. All this while I've been nothing but a monster, an ungrateful b***h. You have loved me unconditionally, you have cared for and sacrificed a lot for me but I've taken it all for granted. Any other guy in yours shoes would've already given up on me but you haven't. You keep coming back to me no matter how many times I push you away. You have never given up on me. Even when I made the most selfish decisions you still looked me in the eyes and told me you love me. Klaus you are no ordinary man. I'm sorry for a the pain I've put you through. All I want is one chance, one more chance to show you the good girl in me. I just realized that meeting you was a life changing experience, carrying your baby and giving birth to him was the toughest and most painful experience but was worth it. I'm more than happy that it happened and right now I want nothing more than the family you've always wanted us to have. I want to be with you and our son forever because I love you both very much. More than you can ever imagine. That is is my humble request" I say on my knees in tears.

"That request was already granted before you even asked my love. Please rise up" he says as he helps me get on my feet and hugs me tight.

He didn't reject me, instead he has forgiven me and given me the chance I have asked for. He's indeed no ordinary man, he's my angel sent straight from heaven. My knight in shining armor and there's now way I'm ever letting him go.

Never am I letting him go!

"Thanks a lot Klaus, thanks for not giving up on me"

"I will never do that Hazel, never" he says and kisses me and the only thing I can do is smile.

I am one lucky b***h.

"How's Kyle doing?"

"He's okay, his fever is over now"

"Is he already asleep?"

"Kyle can never be asleep at eight pm, he's a midnight guy, just like his father" he says proudly

"You're proud of him aren't you?"

"You have no idea"

"Can I see him"

"Of course you can, come with me"

He takes me to the next bedroom which is beautifully decorated. The theme colors are white and coffee brown just like in his bedroom. Everything is boyish and extremely neat. Klaus really did prepare for his son's coming.

My heart skips a beat when hear a baby's cry from the baby crib. I turn to look at Klaus and he smiles.

"He knows someone is around, smart boy" he says proudly yet again.

I chuckle as I walk to the baby crib and tears start spilling down my cheeks the moment I set my eyes on him. He's the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. He's crying softly and kicking his tiny legs here and there. I can't believe I ever thought of abandoning him. He's just too young and fragile to be abandoned. Klaus carries him from the crib.

"Hey little man, guess who's here" he says as he kisses the baby's cheeks and I can't help but laugh. They're both so adorable. "It's mummy, I told she was gonna show up one day right?. Well it's your luck day and guess what?, She's here to stay. Yeah, I'm serious. We are going to have her to ourselves for the rest of our lives, sounds cool right?. Yeah, me too , I'm excited" he says smiling at the baby.

Klaus is quite a handful to handle.

"Hey sweetie" I call softly as I take him into my arms. My heart starts racing abnormally. I'm holding my very own baby in my arms for the first time since he was born and I can already feel the connection between us. He stops crying and stares at me blankly probably wondering where I've been all this while. He's so small that I'm scared he might slip out of my arms. I've never carried a baby before. I know nothing about looking after a baby . I don't even know where to start right now.

"Klaus I'm nervous"

"What about?"

"I know nothing about looking after a baby"

"That's why I'm her Hazel, we'll do it together. Besides, we have mum to help us"

"I'm happy I met a man like you Klaus, I really am a lucky girl"

"No, I'm the one who's lucky to have you in my life. I can't believe I have a family of my own right now. Hazel I promise to take very good care of both of you, I promise to protect you both and do all I can to keep this family together. I promise Hazel"

"I know you will"

"Come in, let's cuddle with our son all night. You have no idea how long I've waited for this moment"

"Klaus you are too sweet for this planet"

We go back to his bedroom where we cuddle up in his bed. I've never felt so happy and complete in my life. Having Klaus and Kyle in my life is the best thing that has ever happened to me. They are my family and I'm never going to let anything come between us.
