29 Dont be afraid , Hazel .
Ill never hurt you .
I just want to take you home … But Hazel could see the desperation in his eyes , a man who had lost everything .
The moonlight he had longed for , the dream hed chased for eight years , was nothing more than a mirage .
The Wright family business , the empire hed fought to build , was slipping through his fingers , ready to abandon him at the slightest touch .
In this world , the only thing that had ever been real was his obsession with Hazel .
Without her , he was nothing .
Hazel recoiled , her body instinctively pulling away from him .
Hatred flashed across her face as she looked at him , unable to suppress the disgust All these years , Hazel had known Ambrose to be stubborn , but she never imagined he would be this consumed , this unhinged ! She almost collapsed against the wall , the terror from that moment of life or death still gripping her .
Her legs .
trembled , weak from fear Tears began to fall , slow and relentless , the weight of the fear still lingering in her chest .
Ambroses heart twisted .
His breath caught in his throat .
He had never meant to scare her , never intended to force her into this kind of terror The news hit Ambrose like a thunderclap , the board of directors was preparing to vote him out .
Overwhelmed , he sought solace in alcohol , hoping the liquor could drown the storm raging inside him .
Under the haze of drunkenness , his longing for Hazel reached an unbearable peak .
He couldnt control himself any longer .
His mind only screamed for one thing : her .
Hazel … Im sorry .
Come back to me … lets leave the past behind and start fresh , okay ? The world out there … its so dangerous .
Only I can keep you safe .

Please , just a little more time .
Please H While speaking , her fingers hovered over her phone , sending a distress message to her mother .
She dared not anger Ambrose , she feared what he might do in his current state .
Ambroses eyes softened , a glimmer of hope lighting up his gaze .
He looked at Hazel as if she held the key to his salvation , like a child waiting for a promise to be kept Okay , okay .
As long as you forgive me , Hazel , Ill wait for as long as it takes .
His voice was pleading , a raw desperation in every word .
Hazels reply was soft but firm .
It wont be long … Her voice held no trace of doubt , her resolve steely despite the emotions swirling inside her .

With a platinum bag in hand .
she wasted no time , her first swing landing squarely on Ambrose .

Ambrose , dazed and defeated , turned his gaze to Hazel , his voice low , filled with disbelief .
