THE AURA OF HATE [Editing]

TWENTY-FIVE

Hazel Carrington.

My wife.

"Fake wife"

My property for the next two years.

She'll be my pet.

Doing as she's told.

My personal whore.

"What are you thinking?" She asks me as she's munching down the wedding cake bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Just some thoughts." I tell her smirking.

"Don't like the sound of that." She tells me.

"Well, fuck this. Your stuff and Hayley's stuff has been moved to our penthouse." I inform Hazel as she nods.

"May I have your attention please." My father, Elijah clicks his champagnes glass with a spoon.

"Most of you know me. Most of you don't." His sentence makes me cringe.

"I am Elijah Carrington. Father of the groom." He continues.

"Oh damn he's your father?" Hazel asks me raising my eyebrows.

"No, he's my son." I reply rolling my eyes making her throw daggers at me.

I just ignore her and go back to listening to the fucker.

"I often don't do this but today, no bitch is going to stop me. Xander was just a baby when I started this company. Slowly I diverted my mind to my company neglecting Xander. I kept thinking providing your child with all the needs like toys, devices, technology, education and other things are the only things that matter, but I were wrong. Your child needs support, emotionally. I missed out 20 years of Xander's life and I regret it. A lot. I apologize to Xander infront of everyone right now. I am really sorry son. Wish you'll forgive me one day. Therefore, I came to a decision that I'll spend the rest of my life, stress free, with my family. All my time from this moment is for them." My father spoke and some tears fell off his eyes.

Dang he good at acting.

"Now that my son has settled with his gorgeous, successful wife, Hazel. I hand Xander all the power and company. Welcome to family, darling." My dad looked at Hazel and she smiled.

Act, act, and act.

"To the new couple. Wish you a very happy married life." My father toasts and we all clap.

"Xander, I didn't know you were going to get married soon. You should've given other girls a chance before going for this gold digger." Elena, the girl I used to hook up with shouted out.

Hazel spat out her water, she was drinking and gripped her glass tightly not trying to create a scene.

Her body radiated anger and heat. Her murderous eyes gave away that any moment now she was going to kill Elena.

Let me give you a brief introduction about Elena. Elena, she's 24, a fashion designer in Italy. She is currently single and we used to bang a couple of time, but that's that. I clearly mentioned, no feelings should be involved, but as you can see she clearly has feelings.

"Elena, you're forgetting, she's MRS CARRINGTON NOW! I will not stay quiet while you disrespect my wife. Next time you do this, I'll burn your boutique down and sue your brand." I threatened her with anger.

Hazel calmed down after hearing my voice but the whole table was silent taking in the drama.

"Xander! How can you do this to me? After what we ha-" Hazel cuts her off.

"SECURITY!" Hazel shouted out bringing the attention of couple security guards nearby the venue.

"Please take her away, and make sure to escort her to her house." Hazel asked them, trying to keep their cool.

"Xander! Stop this! Tell her you still love me!" She shouted out as the guards dragged her out.

"Stop it! This is Prada!!" We heard her voice making us laugh at her.

I turned to look at Hazel. To see her flaring in anger. Her eyes could murder anyone. Even me.

"I am sorry babe you had to see this." I apologized charmingly, loud enough to bring the attention to us.

"Oh no babe, you don't have to apologize." She accepts and we both fake smile.

"You both are so in love!!! May Jesus, keep you both together for eternity." One of my family friends commented.

Only if you knew.

Only if you knew, what I had planned for Hazel..

My devilish smirk seemed to attract Hazel cause she was drooling at it.

"Hazel!" Elijah called her out.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Dear, I didn't see your mom anywhere? Where is she?" My dad interrogated.

"Oh... uh my mom actually passed away when Hayley and I were 5." She informs making everyone's smile drop.

"Oh! I am so sorry dear." My father pretended to care but deep down... he was a son of a bitch.

I didn't know Hazel lost her mom when she was 5.

Her facial hair expression was blank, showing nothing.

No sign of hurt

Anger

Pain

Just blank.

This made me realize that, I don't know Hazel at all.

Her eyes, are so emotionless, but I know deep down, she's hurting.

Hurting real bad.

Her deep dark secrets.

Hidden well.

Shes a mystery I desire to find.

She's a locked door who's key I desire to find.

Hazel Alsteen, by the end of our marriage... I will destroy you.

Destroy you enough to make you think, you have no worth in living this life.

I'll damage you so bad that this attitude of yours will make you question your existence.

And then, I'll make you fall in love with me.

With you on your knees begging me to take you back.

While I break you... slowly.

Watch your back, Mrs Carrington.
