Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: The Game

FASHION EVENT, ITALY

Different colours of lights flashed everywhere and the sound of slow music filled the air while the models catwalked down the runway.

Liam was sitting at the first front row staring at them while sipping a glass of wine,He was dressed in a black tuxedo that made him look Incredibly handsome.

The models finally did their thing and Mr Marco took the Mike and went to the stage while everyone stared at him.

"Ladies and gentlemen,I would like to thank Mr Liam Everston for his support and for making this event a huge success. Thank you"

The audience clapped loudly and Liam only smiled in response, waving at everyone, He wasn't in the mood for giving any long speech so he remained seated.

His eyes stared around the crowd searching for Hazel,He finally spotted her through her dress and he frowned deeply when he saw that a man was talking to her.

She looked uninterested but when the man grabbed her arm,Liam stood up and walked towards them with a large scowl on his face.

"Excuse me"Liam said still frowning.

Hazel sighed in relief when she heard Liam's voice and turned around with the man still holding her arm.

"Mr. Everston, Pleased to Finally see you in person....I...."

"Your face would really appreciate it if you let go of my woman right now"Liam interrupted him with cold eyes and Hazel's cheek flushed red at his words.

His woman? And why does she like it when he said that?

"I.. I'm so sorry Mr Everston,I didn't know she was...."

"You know now"Liam interrupted him again icily and the look he gave the man made him let go of Hazel and immediately walked away.

"Thank you"She said softly and he nodded still frowning.

"I told you to sit with me but you didn't listen and that stupid pig had the audacity to touch you"He balled his fists in annoyance.

"I'm sorry....He wanted me to have some wine with him at his table but I told him I wasn't interested and I don't drink wine or any alcoholic drinks but he grabbed my arm, and then you showed up"She said in her soft voice and Liam's frown disappeared.

"I should have broken his tooth then he wouldn't dare speak to you again or try to force you to do something that you don't want to do"He responded and Hazel giggled making him smile.

"We're in public,It wouldn't be nice if you get into a fight with someone because of me"

"I don't give a f-ck,I suddenly regret why I let him go without designing his face with bruises"He mumbled, balling his fists and she laughed quietly.

He smiled widely again,His eyes now staring at her face and she felt her cheeks heat up.

"Your Laugh sounds beautiful"

She blushed.

"Thank you"Hazel responded,Her voice sounding shy and he chuckled.

"Mr Everston, Can I talk to you for a second?"A Male's voice said behind them and Liam looked away from Hazel.

"Sure"He stood straight and returned his eyes back to Hazel. "Don't move an inch with any man, I'll be back in ten minutes then we can head back to the hotel"

Hazel nodded, swallowing hard and he smiled before turning around to go meet the Man.

LEXINGTON INSTITUTE

The final bell rang and students rushed out of their classes almost crushing Elsa who was at the door trying to adjust her backpack.

A guy bumped into her and she stumbled backwards almost falling but Triston held her tightly and glared at the stupid boy who rushed out without even apologising.

"The bull dog didn't even apologise,Are you alright?"Darlina asked also frowning.

Elsa nodded smiling at Triston who wrapped his arms around her shoulders and Darlina's shoulders as always.

"It's Saturday tommorow, I'm so goddamn happy,No classes till Monday"Triston grinned and Darlina snorted.

"Why am I not surprised?"She mumbled, rolling her eyes.

Triston sticked out his tongue playfully and she mentally face palmed.

Her eyes went to Elsa who was smiling widely staring at a wall and Triston chuckled.

"Thinking of your big C^ck Husband?"He whispered in her ear and Elsa gasped blinking back to reality.

Darlina laughed.

"No,I wasn't thinking about him. Can't I smile to myself?"She blushed avoiding their teasing smirks.

"What was he saying to you at the car this morning?"Darlina asked curiously still smirking.

"Nothing!"She responded immediately with her cheeks burning more. "We were just talking"

Darlina hummed still smiling and Elsa looked at her with a small frown as a question popped into her head.

"Do you think he has feelings for me now?"She asked quietly with her eyes filled with doubts.

"Are you fucking kidding me? That big C^ck dude fucking likes you,I think he's even in love with you. The way he was staring at you,Gosh! My heart was beating fast on your behalf"Triston exclaimed and Elsa's eyes widened.

"Triston, Can you stop addressing him as the big c^ck dude"Darlina groaned and he shrugged.

"He has a big C^ck,He said so himself and I thought I could give him a nickname. Since you both don't like the nickname,I could change it to big C^ck daddy or....."

"TRISTON!"Darlina and Elsa exclaimed in unison with wide eyes and he stopped talking immediately staring at them innocently.

"Okay so back to the main Topic"He chirped, grinning.

"I think Big C.. Sorry I mean, Your Husband has feelings for you. He's so much in love with you baby....."

"You think so?"Elsa asked again with her cheeks flushing red and her heart beating fast against her chest.

Triston and Darlina nodded.

"Trust a boy with a large D^ck"He winked and Darlina coughed making Elsa laugh.

HOTEL, ITALY

Liam walked out of the bathroom with his hair wet and Hazel's eyes immediately went to him.

Her cheeks flushed red when she saw that he was shirtless as always, She'd noticed that he didn't like wearing shirts whenever he wanted to sleep.

He was also wearing a pair of male shorts. The scent of his aftershave and shampoo filled the air and she found herself inhaling it.

Liam walked to his couch,He grabbed the chilled bottle of wine he ordered earlier from the ice bucket and poured some into a glass.

Hazel watched him quietly as she layed on the bed and he looked at her with a smile.

"You want some?"

Hazel nodded sitting up on the bed and he poured the wine into another glass then stood up heading towards her.

She swallowed hard, trying hard not to look at his naked chest but it was so Goddamn hard,He stopped in front of her and stretched out the glass with little wine liquid in it for her and she frowned.

"Why's it so small?"

Liam chuckled at the look on her face and he sat on the bed with her.

"Because this wine contains 24% alcohol and I don't want you to get drunk."

"Oh"She mumbled, taking the glass from him,She took a sip and her eyes widened at the sweetness of the wine then she drank everything immediately.

She stretched out the glass for him to pour more but he refused and she frowned again.

"I'm not a kid yunno"She took the glass of wine from him and filled her glass with the wine and his eyes widened.

"Haze....."

"No, It'd my first time drinking this so don't stop me"She glared at him and drank everything at once again.

"Your first time?"

She nodded her head with a straight face and he stared at her not totally surprised.

Hazel took another glass and she took a long sip before her eyes focused on Liam.

"Have you ever been to a club? Try to have fun"

"No"She shook her head and his eyes almost bulged out of it's sockets at her response.

Hazel's cheeks flushed in embarrassment and his expression changed.

"Travelled to a different country?"

She shook her head again.

"Had a boyfriend before you got married?"He asked staring at her and she shook her head again with an unreadable expression.

"Ever went out on a date?"

"No"She blurted out in response without lying and he looked shocked again.

"What? He doesn't take you out? To have fun or something?"Liam frowned and she nodded, looking away from his eyes.

"Does he please you in bed?"Liam asked blunltly leaning closer and her eyes widened at his question.

"Does he take care of your needs?Make you feel like a woman?"He added frowning.

He hated the thought of Dawson touching her but he just wanted to know and when she shook her head,His eyes widened.

What the hell was she doing in that marriage?!!

He dosen't even care about her,He yells at her,He controls her life,He dosen't take her out,He dosen't make her happy and Liam was dead sure that he doesn't even love her,He dosen't touch her then what the fuck was she still doing with him?

Hazel took in her lips already feeling embarrassed when she saw the look on his face.

"What the hell? So you both don't have S^x? He doesn't touch you?"He asked again, She couldn't tell what he was thinking cuz his expression was unreadable but he looked shocked and she looked away from him.

"H..he....."Hazel stopped talking immediately unable to continue,She didn't even know how to tell him that he always forced himself on her every night, beat her up mercilessly while raping her so she kept quiet instead looking down at her hands.

She felt her head spinning and her vision getting blurry but it was still clear and she was starting to feel tipsy.

Her cheeks flushed when she found Liam still staring at her confusedly.

He still couldn't believe what she told him,He was still confused, She had been married with that asshole for years and he doesn't please her. Was that even possible?

He didn't want to ask any more questions about her marriage because he knew she'd lie to him or keep quiet as always so he swallowed back on the questions in his mind.

Liam continued to drink his wine with her without saying anything but his mind was still filled with questions.

Liam frowned when his mind suddenly reminded him that they'd go back to New York in two days.

He didn't even want to back because she'd have to go back to her stupid husband while he'll have to wait to see her and hear her voice everyday at the office.

He wanted her only for himself not with her husband,He wanted them to stay longer here alone but it was impossible.

"We'll return back to New York in two days"He informed her, pouring himself another wine and when he looked back at her face,He saw a sad expression on her face.

"So soon?"She mumbled with a frown as she licked her lips, Liam's eyes went there for a second before he looked away.

"Our work here is done"He responded and she frowned again.

"Can't we stay a little bit longer?"She asked feeling her head spin again.

"Nope"He replied taking another gulp of wine down his throat. "Don't you miss your sister?"

"I do but I don't wanna go yet"She muttered quietly that he barely heard her.

"Why? You'll miss me right?"He grinned drunkengly, leaning close towards her.

"Yes"Her cheeks flushed red and his heart almost jumped out of happiness at her response.

He leaned in closer to Hazel as she said while smiling widely,They were both sitting on the bed but when moved closer, Hazel's head almost met the headboard.

Their noses touched and Hazel's lips parted in surprise. Her heart pounded hard against her chest as she giggled drunkenly.

"I'll miss you too, very much"Liam smiled widely and she blushed again.

"I know we see each other at the office everyday but it's not the same,I get to see and talk to you every second here but it'd not the same there,I hate that we have to go back and you'll go to that asshole"He added frowning and she giggled again.

"I don't want to go to him too,I like staying here with you too... Y..You care about me a lot, You don't like to see me sad or sick, You do things that he doesn't do for me, You tell me I'm beautiful but he doesn't, You listen to me when I drop an opinion at the office....It feels like you actually value my thoughts and opinions, You make me feel important, You make me smile, You make my heart race,Make me happy, You make me feel like I matter..."

Liam was smiling so widely while listening to Hazel's words. His heart pounded hard against his chest, threatening to burst out of his ribcage.

He felt like he was on cloud nine and he couldn't stop smiling,The way she was blushing too made her look more cute.

He opened his mouth to speak but she immediately covered his mouth with her palm and smiled again.

"I'm not done taking"Hazel slurred with a cute expression pouting her lips and he chuckled.

She removed her palm slowly from her mouth and quickly took a sip of her wine.

"Ok...."

"Shhhhhhhhhhhh, You're ruining the moment"She glared at him cutely and he chuckled smiling widely,He was also drunk too.

"I wanna tell you a bigggggggg secret"Hazel giggled, her face flushing with a sweet blush.

Liam wanted to speak again but she glared at him before leaning closer towards him and her soft hand went to his bare chest.

His arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her to his lap as he sat on the bed.

Hazel's legs instinctively wrapped around his waist straddling him and her lips went to his ear.

"I-I really like you a lot too"Hazel giggled against his ear and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Re....."

"Shhhhhh"Her cheeks flushed red.

"It's a secret between us, Dawson must not find out or he'll beat me up"She added with a scared look on her face.

"Beat you up?"Liam frowned, balling his fists. He was drunk but his eyes was burning with anger.

She nodded slowly, blinking her eyes to see properly.

"That mother f^cker"He clenched his jaw,His grip tightening around her.

"How long,How long has that son of a b*tch been hitting you?"

"Since we got married"She responded quietly and Liam saw red,His eyes were burning with rage.

He looked so mad that Hazel gulped in fear staring at him.

His mind was filled with thoughts of killing Dawson. He'd kill him, He'd f_cking kill him for laying his hand on her.

He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Hazel, his sweet, innocent Hazel had been suffering at the hands of that monster for years.

Hitting her and probably toturing her and he wasn't fucking aware about it and that got him even more angry and.....All his thoughts suddenly froze when he felt her sweet lips against his lips.

Hazel kissed him on his lips so softly and his whole body melted instantly,His anger vanished and she pulled away from the two seconds kiss.

"Y... You kissed me...."He muttered staring at her with wide eyes and she blushed heavily.

"You were angry,I don't want you to get angry. I don't want to talk about him anymore or I'll cry, I'm trying so hard to break into tears so hard right now so don't make me cry while talking about him repeatedly....."

"I'm sorry, Please don't cry"Liam's voice softened and he gently brushed away a tear that fell from her eyes.

Hazel sniffled pouting her lips and he chuckled.

"He doesn't fucking know what he had,If we were married. The things I'd do for you....."

"Tell me"She grinned widely.

"I'd treat you like a queen, that you are"Liam smiled and she blushed, batting her eyelashes shyly. "I'd bring heaven down on earth for you. I'd give you everything you want. I'd kill to bring a smile to your beautiful face. I'd always make you happy and never make you cry."

Her heart Pounded hard against her chest listening to words and she Felt like crying again.

"I'd treat you like a diamond...my diamond"Liam continued. "You want me to empty my bank accounts for you? Then I'd fucking do it. I'd make love to you every night, fuck you the way you deserve to be fucked, make you cry and scream my name all night."

"I'd do anything for you, Hazel" Liam whispered, his lips brushing against hers and her breath hitched.

"I'll cherish you Hazel and I'll love you, I'll love you more than life itself"

"Liam...."She breathed out shakingly

Liam pulled her closer again, his face inches from Hazel's. Their lips were so close that they almost touched.

Her breasts pressed against his bare chest and she felt his hardness against her stomach making her bit her lip hard.

Liam looked her in the eye before he kissed her on her lips softly.
