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.

Hazel

I woke up with huge headache. 

"Ahhhhh" I yelled in pain. 

"My head hurts" 

Tom came rushing in the room. 

"What happened " he asked 

"Headache" I replied.

He handed me few pills and asked me to lay down. I did and he sat my side. 

After fifteen minutes he asked " better?" 

"Yeah" I replied walking to the washroom. I washed my face and came out. He told me to get in car we leaving for my home. He was driving we were silent when memories came rushing back. 

"How dare you Tom ?" I shouted. 

"Clam down" he requested.

"No, You freaking left me alone in the club. I told you I don't want to go but you insisted. What kind of friend Does that ?" I shouted.

"If I left your side then how are you here ? How did you come back?" He asked. 

I was thinking hard " I remember walking down alleyway and someone pinned me on the wall."

"No You drank something thinking it was water and you fainted ,I had to drag you home."

"Really?"

"Yes"

"I'm sorry Tom"

"It's okay but we have another problem"

I was confused 

"Your Dad called, your mom had arranged surprise party and they want you to come back."

"Oh! No, when did dad called you ?" I asked

"Around one hour ago" he replied 

"I'm gone, please drive fast ."

"Sure"

As I reached home there were many guests and some relatives. They were laughing and talking. I tried to sneak to my room but I was unable to walk fast because of headache.

"You are late" 

Oh! No I'm caught again .

"I'm sorry dad " I replied 

"We'll talk about it later let's go and meet Guests ."

As we go to the Mom was talking to guests . 

 "Here is my son Hazel" Mom turn to introduce me. 

I smiled and greet them . 

Suddenly one woman asked " Aren't you too young to be engaged "

I was shocked before i can say anything 

"He is not engaged , what makes you think that " Mumma said on my behalf. 

He got hickeys and a engagement ring on his fingers , so I thought he was engaged . 

I'm confused now what is she saying and I don't know where this ring came from .

Mom grabbed my jaw and looked at my neck. She is getting furious by every second. 

She dragged me in my room by my arm. "Mumma It hurts " I yelled.

-You don't know what you have gotten us into. This is nothing compared to what is coming." She yelled back and locked me in my room.

I cried. She is angry because I went to that club . I deserve this .... 

I laid on my bed and thought about

This evening in club . Something is definitely missing I looked myself in the mirror. I looked like a messed. I changed into new PJs after a long shower.

I heard yelling from downstairs so I rushed down to open the door but it was locked . 

 I heard

"We just can't hand over our son ." My dad shouted.
