Chapter 21: "Unveiled Desires"

The sun was just beginning to rise, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange, as Hazel bustled around the kitchen, preparing a breakfast fit for a prince. Today was special; it was meant to be a surprise for Yunus and his son, Lucian. Hazel had meticulously planned the menu, imagining the delight on their faces when they sat down to enjoy the feast she had prepared.Yet, as the minutes ticked by and the clock hands moved closer to the appointed hour, there was a growing sense of disappointment in her. Yunus, caught in an urgent meeting, couldn't make it. The enthusiasm that had driven her that morning dimmed a little, and she found herself questioning the depth of her emotions. She wasn't his wife, so why did his absence affect her so?"I'll surely make it back," Yunus promised, his words tinged with regret. He kissed Lucian and hurriedly left, leaving behind an atmosphere tinged with longing."Mom, will you take me to school?" Lucian's innocent request pulled her back to the moment. It was a question that still felt foreign to Hazel, despite her genuine care for the young boy."No, sweetheart. Mommy can't go outside, but I promise you'll always be safe," Hazel reassured him, her eyes reflecting both warmth and sadness. She watched them leave in their private car, the promise of another day hanging in the air.Alone in the house, Hazel was left with her thoughts. She pondered over why she had placed so much trust in Yunus, a man she hadn't known for long. Doubts began to creep into her mind, and a nagging feeling urged her to explore, to uncover something hidden in his room.She tiptoed into Yunus' room, her heart beating a little faster, her curiosity taking charge. She meticulously examined every corner, every shelf. It was there, at the edge of a shelf, that she found it — a peculiar book, its cover worn and mysterious.Her fingers traced the strange patterns on the cover, and she hesitated before opening it. The pages were filled with a language she couldn't comprehend, symbols and drawings that seemed otherworldly. As she delved deeper into the book, she felt a peculiar energy emanating from it, an energy that both fascinated and unnerved her.Lost in the enigmatic world within the pages, Hazel was unaware of the passage of time. The room seemed to hum with an unusual energy, and she could feel her heartbeat syncing with the mysterious rhythm of the book.
