"Happy birthday to our dear Hazel...
Happy birthday to you!"
A huge group of the audience sang along with Mario, Marco, Odette, and Hazel's parents. Hazel is a cute seven-year-old girl with hazel eyes. She is Marco and Mario's close associate's daughter. Henry is her elder brother, three years older than her.
"Hey, pumpkin! Don't forget to make a wish," Henry reminded his little sister, who is wearing a pink fluffy frock and a tiara, just like the princess she is.
Grinning, the little girl's eyes roamed all over the hall, looking for those blue pairs of eyes. When she found them afar, smiling at her softly, she blushed and turned her head towards her parents.
"Does this wish come true?" she asked innocently, making her parents' hearts swoon. "Sure, it does, baby," her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lopez, answered, smiling at their daughter. In excitement, she closed her eyes, folded her hands on her chest, and prayed. Grinning, she opened her eyes, blew the candles, and cut the cake happily, hoping her wish comes true.
"My little princess, what did you wish for?" Odette asked, kneeling in front of the little girl and smiling widely.
Hazel's excitement perked up hearing the question from her favorite aunt. "I wished to marry Darius and Davian, Mrs. De Luca," Hazel beamed, telling her secret wish to Odette.
Odette's eyes widened hearing Hazel's wish of marrying her twins, who were Harry's best friends and studied in the same school as hers. Odette was so shocked that her jaw literally hit the floor.
Seeing Odette's shocked face, Hazel frowned, puckering her lower lip as her eyes glistened with tears.
"I know it is wrong; Mama said we have only one heart and we are supposed to marry only one prince," Hazel sniffed, making Odette's heart swoon.
"Aww, no princess, we can love both princes; it's not wrong," Odette said, wiping a lone tear that escaped Hazel's eyes.
"It's okay to love them both; I did," Odette spoke again, this time looking at her husbands.

He stalked his way towards her. No words were uttered. Pure lust evident in their eyes. He backed her into a corner, she was looking everywhere but him, she couldn't, she shouldn't. His hand toyed with the hem of her dress. He hesitated. His mind was racing with thoughts of how he shouldn't, he couldn't. Her heartbeat picked up, her breaths quickened, her body needed him. He saw the affect he had on her. Pulling up her dress, he saw she had no panties on. Enraged he wrapped his hand around her neck, choking her, making her look into his eyes. His other hand slid into her folds, she was soaking wet, just for him. She whimpered in response. She couldn't get enough. Her hips rocked back and forth along with his fingers. He added another. Yet to kiss her, he pushed the thought out of his head. Her body began to rock faster, causing moans to fall from her mouth. He bent down to her ear and whispered,
"Perché non possiamo semplicemente stare lontani gli uni dagli altri belli?". (Why can't we just stay away from each other beautiful?).
