The Runaway Husband

In the dark underworld of power and influence, Evelyn Grey reigns supreme. Known as a nightmare, Evelyn's wrath can obliterate lives in the blink of an eye. At 26, she is the epitome of ruthless success, owning numerous gas stations and hotels, and wielding control over the illegal underbelly of society. With a pretty face that hides a demonic fury, Evelyn is a force to be reckoned with, leaving devastation in her wake whenever angered. Contrasting sharply with Evelyn’s menacing presence is Hazel, a 17-year-old boy whose beauty is matched only by his purity and kindness. With hazel eyes and an innocent demeanor, Hazel embodies everything good and gentle in the world. Recently graduated from high school, he is eager to embark on a new chapter of his life at university, embodying the dreams and aspirations of youth. Their worlds collide in an unexpected twist of fate, where power meets innocence, and darkness clashes with light. As Evelyn's shadow looms over Hazel's life, will his purity be tainted by her darkness, or will his kindness illuminate a path to redemption for the both of them? "The Runaway Husband" explores the delicate balance between love and power, and the unexpected ways in which two seemingly opposite souls can influence each other's lives.

Clashing Worlds

Evelyn

He is too honest. He literally just told me everything. He is mine. I will convince him to marry me.

I was replying to some texts when I heard his

voice.

"Ohh hii Claire. How are you?" he was greeting someone.

"Hi darling. I am fine. Come here give me a hug.

I was standing behind him at this point. he moved ahead but I hold his waist and pulled him back.

He jumped at sudden jerk.

"Ouch" he looked back. Eyeing me with his hazel eyes.

I let go of his waist.

"Well, this is Claire and this is Ms. Grey ." he introduced us. Did he just forgot my name?

"Hello Ms. Grey . "Claire extended her hand.

We shook hands 

"Claire is daughter of my Dad's friend " he added. "I used to work in her Café."

"If you want I can hire you again and don't worry I'll talk to your mom"

She pat his shoulder lightly and he laughed. His laugh was so attractive but I don't want to share him.

"Ahem ahem. Shall we leave?" I asked with a smile.

"Sure." He said and headed to our table

"I thought we were leaving" I asked again

"Yeah we are. Let me just grab this. You didn't even touch it. Its not good to waste food." he said. I smiled at him.

"So, what will you do with them?" I asked.

he pointed at the homeless guy down the street.

"Someone is hungry" he said.

"Ohh, Hazel. Sure. Let me give it to him." I said. He is beyond perfect. I want him right now right here.

But I have to be patient.

I drove him back to his home. I want to give him sometime to cope up. Don't want to rush.

"By the way nice car" he said as we reached his home.

"Finally you noticed." I laughed.

"Yeah. and what's your name again?" He asked with a smile.

Well if that was another person I would have lashed out. I never introduce myself. But him

"Evelyn " I replied

"Evelyn" he repeated. I am the Great Evelyn Grey My name is enough to create fear in anyone's mind 

I am The Phenomenal Businesswoman who run this country.

But Hearing my name from his mouth was ecstasy.

He hugged me when I opened the door for him. Wow.

"Evelyn...umm. Can you keep this to yourself? I mean I shared everything but I don't want my parent's reputation to spoil." He asked nervously.

I took my time to observe him. His flickering eyes.

Nervously looking at me and biting his pink lips.

"Nope." I laughed

"Only if you promise me a dinner" I added.

"Yeah, why not. But I am not marrying you. Mind well." he tried to give me a cold stare.

"Cute" I said. Sweetheart you will be mine soon. Just wait for me.

"Hazel " called his mother .

His face drop.

"Yes mumma ." he turned around and entered his home but not before mouthing "good bye" 

I want him more now. I smiled.

Hazel

I entered the house and was instantly bombarded with questions

"How was your date ?"

"Where did you go?"

"Did she treat you well?" ...etc.

I nodded "yes she was actually noblewoman."

"But . She is little old-school. She pulled me harshly when I was going to hug Claire ." I shrugged.

"Back to your room" shouted Mumma as she entered the house.

"But I met this woman and now I am free." I protest.

"Hazel. Now" shouted Dad.

"NO." I hold my grounds. They cannot ground me like this. What about my freedom?

Mumma harshly grabbed my arm and dragged me to my room.

"Mumma please leave me, it hurts." I cried in pain. She is holding me so hard, this will surely leave bruises.

She threw me on the bed and locked the room before leaving.

Mumma open the door please. I yelled and I knocked on the door in hopes that someone would open it.

I laid there crying. Then laid on my bed whole day. It was just a stupid club. Why they are behaving like this? Even dad didn't protect me.

At night dad brought dinner he entered and placed the tray on the bed.

"Why dad ? It was just a stupid club. You locked me here for a week and then asked me to meet the person I did. Still I am locked here " I sobbed.

"Come, Eat." he command

"Please forgive me Dad. I don't like here alone.

Its suffocating." I pleaded

"I wish I could tell you, but I can't. Eat and then go to bed. I will bring breakfast tomorrow."

He said and locked the room before leaving. 

I don't understand what's wrong. I curled up, hugged my knees soon Sleep drifted me off.
