" you won't dare Mr Gray, Carden threatens clearly not taking the news lightly.
" Let me finish Mr Carden. You all can start over once again, but this time in the right way, dad held my eyes in his and I totally understood what he was headed.
" You'll ask Hazel's hand the right way, and if she is still interested in your son then we'll be organising another wedding, but for now she needs to go home with us, I hope you understand Mr Smith.
He nodded giving Dad permission to take me home.
" What are you doing Dad, Carden lashes to his Dad.
" This is your chance to make things right Carden, get her back if you want to be with her but for now let her go.
" Let's go Hazel, Aunty Lizzy walks towards me giving me a reassuring smile that everything was going to be alright.
I walk out of the room, scared of even looking back but still felt Cardens burning gaze on me as we vanish behind the doors.
" I want her back Dad, Carden pase around the dinning unable to calm down.
" Offcourse we'll get her back, she's carrying my grand children, you heard Gray they have the upper hand this time. And all he want is for you to do things the right way.
Mr Smith and his wife left, leaving Carden to Ethan and Sky.
Gray's mansion.
We settled in the living room, Aunty Lizzy sat close to me.
" Hazel dear, I hope you understood why I did what I did.
I nodded, " I want you to take your time and thing about everything, don't let this pregnancy rush you into anything you don't want, I can take good care of you and my grandkids, and will protect you with my life from the Smith'ss if need be.
Dad was right. everything has been happening so fast.
" Please can you get me ice-cream, I want chocolate flavor, Dad smiles as he picked up his car keys, it was almost midnight, and getting a delivery guy at this time won't be easy.
" Dad.. I scream and he turns back,
Can you grab a pizza on your way back, he nodded.
" You should rest dear, aunty Lizzy brought me to my room, and left when she made sure I was laying comfortably,.
feeling so tired to take off my clothes I dozed off immediately my head hits the pillow.
A shattering sound hit my ears as a robe hugs my window frame,
Unable to move or say a word i sat still as fear engulfs me, some one was clearly trying to break into the mansion,
" Aaahhh I scream as a mans figure, pops up. The lights were off so I couldn't make out who he was in the dark.
" Rushing towards me he covers my mouth with his hands as a familiar smell hits my nostrils.
" Carden... his gray eyes stands out in the dark, twisting the switch he turns the lights on.
" What the hell are you doing here, I burst into laughter, thinking of what he might have went through just to climb a 3 story building house
" It's funny right, you left without saying goodbye and you expect me to just seat still, he wraps me in his arms
" I miss you wifey,
" Carden.. it's just been 2 hours since we left.
He smuggles even closer,,
" don't tell me your trying to spent the night in my room. Dad will kill us if he finds out,
" You made me a promise wifey and am here to make sure you honour that promise.
" So all this just for a promise, really Carden. He nodded still not letting me go.
Pulling away he takes off my gown, and dressed me into more comfortable clothes.
" Good night wifey, he pulls me into a heart chattering kiss before leaving same way he came.
The next morning, a slight knock came at the door,
" Come in I said trying to seat up.
" Mother.. she stood between the slightly opened door.
" You can come in, I gesture to a space beside me in the bed and she sat down still not taking her eyes off my belly.
" Will you ever forgive me child, mom looked like a different version of herself, her dark circles almost covering her face, she looked like someone who haven't slept in weeks.
" I know it was very selfish of me to run away from my problems leaving you behind, I have being a horrible mother to you, please give me the chance to make it up to my grandchild.
" Its grand children mother, you have 3 grand children I said as tears rush down my cheeks. I pulled her hand laying it slightly against my belly.
" They'll have the perfect grand mother.
She sobs even more as she held me tightly.
Dad came in and joined in the hug.
" Am happy you both were able to patch things up, Dad took a seat beside us. " Now that everything is fine, I think it's time we talk about this, mother nodded and Dad went ahead.
" Hazel like I said last night, I won't want you to rush into anything because you feel pressured, after leaving with Carden am sure you know the kind of man he is already.
" His into the dark world, and.. Dad hesited fir abit. He has alot of enemies across the city because of his shady business, not like he can't protect himself, but my grandkids, I don't want them feeling insecure all the times, I want them to grow as normal kids, away from Cardens dark world. I don't want him dragging you and your kids into his world.
" I know maybe you might be Inlove with him but what should be important right now is the future and security of your kids, that's why I brought you back, take your time to think about everything this time don't think like a woman Inlove but as a mother who would give up everything for her children.
"We'll respect any of your decisions dear, mom said her voice calm and warming, we'll see you at breakfast, she kissed my forehead as they both left the room.
