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.

The Unexpected Date

Hazel

Sunday 10 AM

I got dressed because there was no point in

fighting, I will personally ask the person to leave me

alone. I can't fight my family. I wore jacket and black jeans with white T- shirt. I don't want to hint her that I am interested. I sighed and waited for them to open the door. Dad opened the door and asked me to go downstairs.

I saw a women in a formal outfit in our living room. She was taking to Mumma She was tall and strong. I felt my cheeks burning.

She turned around to look at me. I was stunned to see Ms. Grey here and I felt her eyes on me, checking me out .

Hazel meet Evelyn She is the Owner Of Grey hotels and Gas stations 

'Hello Ma'am ?'

' Hazel, I've told to call me Evelyn '

'Have you both met before? ' asked Mumma 

Oh! No if mom got to know truth about me staying in Ms. Grey house I will be in more trouble. 

I spoke Before Ms. Grey 

'Yeah, we met in wedding reception of Claire friend.' I tried to change the topic. 

Okay, Why don't you go out and get to know each other. 

"Lets get going" She said holding my hand.

I nodded. We walked out and I gasped.

"Do you like my car?" She asked.

"What car?" I said and walked towards our neighbor's dog, Stella.

"I missed you so much." I said in a baby voice. As Stella came running to me. I picked her up

"Hazel" shouted Mumma . And I jumped.

I let go of Stella and hold my head low.

I looked up at Ms. Evelyn , who was coldly glaring at Stella who Ran away.

"Lets go." I said

"Hmm.. Go sit in the car. I will be back." She said softly with a smile.

"Okay" I smiled and sat in the car.

She joined me after few minutes. She took me to my favorite waffle place. My face lit up. I missed waffles, it felt good to see familiar place after 1 week of being grounded.

The place was oddly empty. Otherwise it was always full.

We entered and sat on the corner table. The order came without even placing the order.

"This is my favorite place. I used to come here every now and then." I chirped smiling at her.

"Yeah? Tell me more." She asked.

I shrugged my shoulders casually, and started munching my waffle.

"Tell me more about you my love." She asked again.

I raised my eyebrows

"My love?" I repeated.

Her warm black eyes suddenly turned into cold ones. The five o' clock shadow look didn't help the situation either.

I shifted uncomfortably

"Okay listen, let's be honest." I said.

She nodded.

" I'm sorry Ms. Grey I don't want to marry you. Not you, I don't want to marry anyone. I came here because I was locked down for a week in my house." I was completely honest with her

"Why so?" She asked.

"Because I crashed in a club last week without my parents consent and ended up getting black out " I confessed.

"I see." She nodded.

"Excuse me" I said and went to washroom.
