The Debt of Love {The Fractured Hearts Series Book 1}

Hazel's Pov

The rays of the sun reflected inside of my eyes, making me squint my eyes. I rolled to the other side as I was put to a halt by a body.

Opening my eyes fully to look at the person beside me. A sleeping Marisol was lying there looking all peaceful and lost in lala land.

I had fallen asleep here last night. We stayed up all night as talking about our childhood. In that case, she did all of the talking, about her childhood in Colombia, her favorite spots and all. While I was here listening because I can't remember shit from my childhood. And that alone angered me more than anything has in this life.

I think?

I strolled out of the room, going into Alessio's room. I stared at the empty bed wondering where he is before entering into the washroom to brush my teeth.

After taking my bath and having a change of clothes. I strolled down the stairs, ready to go to meet Alexa and Oliver. I feel like I should give them one more chance. I really need to listen to them.

I mean no one would claim they are bestfriends with someone if they aren't really are. Only if they are psychos and Alexa and Oliver aren't psychos right?

I tiptoed my way to the door, not wanting to wake anyone up from their sleep.

"Why are you tiptoeing?" I jumped as Alessio's voice sounded from behind me. I turned around to look at his tall frame towering over me.

"Jeez" I held onto my chest. "You scared the shit out of me" I hit his arm with mine but he didn't budge. His eyes travelled through my body before he wrapped his arm around my face, placing kiss on every corner making me giggle.

"Alessio" I called his name through giggles as he stopped to look at my face. "I missed you" He smiled making me smile too.

"Where are you off to by the way?" He asked making me grow nervous in an instant.

"I-i uhmm..." I stammered as Alessio shot me a pointed look.

"Hazel?" He warned.

"I'm going for a run okay? I didn't want anyone to know because I wanted to keep it as a surprise that I am exercising, you know. Tryna burn out some calories" I lied as I started flexing my muscles as he laughed.

"I think I'm delaying." He dropped his hand from my waist, giving me a quick kiss on my cheek. "Make sure you come back on time" He said as I nodded.

I bid him goodbye as I walked out of the house. I strolled out of the villa, walking towards the main street as I hailed a cab.

I got into the car as I gave the address of Oliver's place to him and he drove there.

The ride was fifteen minutes to their place. I handed a bill to the cab man as I climbed out of the car. Looking at his house ahead. I inhaled and exhaled before I walked towards the house.

I pressed the doorbell as it rang waiting for someone to open up. "Oliver, this is the last time..." Her words vanished as she laid her eyes on me, her eyes widening.

"Hazel?"

"Hi" I said sheepishly. "Can I come in?" I asked peeking into the house. She moved the way from the doorstep, paving way for me to enter into the house. She slammed the door behind her as I walked into the house with her trailing behind me.

"Who is it?" Oliver asked from the kitchen as I plopped down on the couch. "It's Hazel" She said as she sat down beside me.

"Hazel?" He asked as he appeared  in front of me looking at me in amusement. "What are you doing here?"

I propped a brow at him. "To talk to y'all" I gestured my hand between them.

"You're not meant to be here" Oliver shook his head in disapproval.

"Why?"I asked becoming confused.

Alexa sighed. "Alessio came around and warned us to stay away from you. So that's what we're doing?"

"Alessio came here?"

Oliver nodded as I became angry. Why would he come to tell my.... Whatever they are to me to stay away from me.

"First and foremost, Alessio doesn't control my life" I clarified. "I'm here to ask you guys somethings about my parents. I want to know their names and how they are" I begged looking at them in the eyes.

"Please"

"No one would want to disobey Alessio Hyde's Orders but since you're asking and you're my bestfriend. I've got to tell you" Oliver said.

"Your parents name are Gabriel Brown and Margaret Brown" Alexa started as I listened.

Gabriel and Margaret Brown? The names Marisol called last night.

"Your mother was a white and beautiful woman and your dad was black" I listened attentively as my heart shook.

I stood on my feet as my eyes watered. 

"What's up?" Oliver asked looking at me.

"I need to go" I walked out of their house to the main street as everything they said played in my head. What the said.

My parents were killed, I ran away from home because I escaped for my life. Alessio had lied to me, and my heart is breaking.

"Hazel Brown?" A voice called my name making me come to a halt.

I turned around looking at the tall hispanic man, leaning against a car. "Do I know you?" I asked looking at him.

"I go by a lot of names. Eduardo, Mufasa. Anyone you please, princess!" He smirked as his reaction irked me.
I became bored of his little introduction as I turned around.

"Margaret would be so proud and disappointed about your for been with him" He caught my attention, making me halt one more time.

"What are you talking about?"

"Just know that your closest person would always come out to be your worst nightmare" He said as he removed his hat, with a courtesy.

"Bye princess" He entered into his car as he drove away leaving me startled.

What is going on???
