"I can't marry him dad" Hazel yelled with her hands trembling, "Kol is the man I love" Hazel said clinching her fingers tightly " he is the one I am going to marry" Hazel bluted out. The silence that followed her outburst was heavy… so heavy, uncomfortable, cold and loud, her father hesitated for a moment, he
starred at her in uttermost disappointment " what did you say? Diego stretched his arms out moving closer to Hazel, " you do know that Zayden Cross doesn't take no from anyone" Dieogo gazed at her like she had said a stupid thing.
Hazel knew who he was and thats exactly why they were here in the first place, Hazel let out a shaky breathe " he is arrogant, inconsiderate, manipulative and" a sharp slap came across her face causing the room to turn completely silent, Hazel paused for a moment, confused with her head snapped to the side, her cheeks felt hot and she became breathless, she lifts her hands slowly to rub her face, her Dad had hit her , he really did hit her " I am your father" Diego said with a low but threatening voice, he stood right in front of Hazel pointing to her face " and my word is law to you" he said , Hazel's eyes blurred slightly but she didn't let the tears fall, at least not in front of him, she was not about to let him think that he broke her " you will marry Zayden, because I say so " Diego said beating his chest, he pauses for a moment ,glances towards camil " you better speak some sense into your daughter" he said , camil nodded her head in affirmation. The door slammed shut behind her and the room went silent. "Come here my love" camils soothen voice filled the silent room, Hazel was stuck where she was standing until her mother moved close to her, brushing her shoulders lightly, " I hate him" Hazel said with a shake voice, " I hate him so much " Hazel whispered in a broken voice, " hush now" her mother muttered looking towards the the door as tho the walls had ears. Hazel cried out loud " How could he do this to me" she said cracking, " he just sold me off just like that" pains flashed through her eyes " come on" her mother said guiding her to a coutch to sit, her mother sat beside her and lifted her head slightly " Hazel he is your father" camel said calmy, " and that makes him right? Hazel let's out a bitter laugh, " you know mom , i wonder how you're able to put up with a monster like him" hazel said looking into her mothers eyes " i see what he does to you, i see how he treats you mom" hazel said , camil looked at hazel with a smile that carries unspoken pain " you have to do what he says Hazel " her mother said " but how do expect that I marry a man I do not love? Hazel's voice trembled , " he is arrogant, ruthless and he respects no one! " why do I have to be sacrificed? Hazel's voice came cracking completely. " but I do not expect him to understand" hazel wiped her face, " he never gave a shit about me anyways " Her mother brushed her hair backwards carefully " you will be just fine" her mother whispered, " mom you know that's not true" Hazel whispered in pain, " you know what Zayden cross is , he is the devil mom" hazel said with tears," I know Hazel, trust me I know " her mother said with pity, " so why don't you stop him , tell dad that I can't marry Zayden" Hazel said holding her mothers hand as tho there was hope, " you know your father was right" her mother said, Hazel pulled her hand away in disappointment, why won't anyone understand her, " Zayden Cross doesn't take no for an answer " her mother said with fear, " if we say no to him, he will crush us down" camil said calmy, "you all are so selfish " Hazel said smiling amidst tears " you want to sell me out just so you don't fall? Camil looked at hazel not knowing what to say , " look baby, all you have to do is obey Zayden " camil said holding hazels hand, hazel yanked her hand away from her mother, " and what about kol mom? Hazel asked " kol will understand if you explain it to him" her mother said hopefully, hazel and Kol had come a long way, they have been together since childhood and they have loved each other helplessly for years , she couldnt imagine her life without kol in it, how was she supposed to breathe without him, she knew that Kol did not stand a chance when it came to Zayden Cross, zayden would crush Kol in an instant, but she would not back down so w
easily, if her father wants war, then she would give him war," I Love kol mom, and I will marry him at all cost " Hazel said nodding her head in affirmation, " Hazel you do not want to go down that part with your father" her mother said moving closer to her, " mom i dont care what he does to me, i will not marry Zayden " hazel snapped, " i know your father more than anyone else hazel, you are going to get hurt" camil said tearing up, " when you marry Zayden you will learn to love him" her mother said , but that wasn't true, they both know that was a lie , reality dawned on her as the room grew silent , she wasn't getting married , she was being sold out.
