When I woke up she wasn't beside me. "Hazel." I called I got up from my bed and, bathroom was locked

*Knock Knock*

Door opened at that exact moment, she was in a bathrobe and water droplets falling from her hair. I felt her looking at my bare chest but shifting her gaze immediately. I smirked.

"You can check me out, Fully." I said moving my steps towards her but she stopped me by her hand & passed towards dressing table I can see that she was blushing & hiding it from me. I went inside the bathroom and when I got out she wasn't in the room I got dressed and went downstairs. She was talking to someone & I saw My Mom.

"Mom" I went towards them. I hugged my mom.

"Mom, suddenly here...Anything.. happened?" I asked.

After Mom and Dad got divorced, mom never comes here, I also used to live with her but few years back she sent me to Dad because his health worsen and he wanted me to stay with him.

"We'll talk later my child. Let's have a breakfast." Mom said. And I nodded. I knew what it was about to that's why I stayed silent.

"You have got such a pretty wife Ivan. Do you realise that, that too without any efforts." Mom said.

"Yeah Mom. Ofcourse! She is pretty." I said looking at Hazel, and she was also looking at me her cheeks turning pink, may be because of my gaze, she started looking down. "Specially her Eyes " I said turning her scarlet. Mom gave me a smile.

"Oh Mom! We didn't knew you were here. We would have come earlier." Atlas beamed as he and Sophie (My twin siblings) arrived after their vacation.

"I've just arrived. And you two are always being out, instead helping Ivan in business!" Mom said hugging both of them.

"Mom, come on he doesn't need help. He is excellent." Sophie said holding my arm. I smiled weakly.

"Okay now get freshen up and have some food. I've to discuss something with Ivan. See you later." Mom said & we turned our heels towards my study room. I looked back from my shoulder, Atlas and Sophie were engrossed talking with Hazel.

*********

"Ivan, he is here only, in same city, since 2 months, as he got to know that Hazel got married to you." Mom said sitting on the couch. "He is not taking any step because he knew that he need to prepare well to pass you. You better not to let Hazel get out house." Mom's face had mixed emotions anger and disappointment.

"Don't worry, Mom. I won't let anyone cause harm to her." I was Pacing slowly in the room.

"Do you want her to know all this?" Mom asked.

"Not now Mom. She is not in a state to handle things. And that will be better if she stays away from this matter, ofcourse it's all about her but she must not be knowing who's behind all of these." I said.
