DRUNK HAZEL

~ Two weeks later

"Come on Gemy, don't be such a killjoy. Besides mom and dad aren't here to watch our every move,'' Hazel said while searching for the perfect gown to go clubbing.

'' But they left bodyguards and maids to be as their eyes. Moreover, It's not even been up to a week that you got engaged and you are already partying like a crazy bitch Hazel. May I remind you that, you are no more the single spoiled princess of the Marino Family but a bride to the Heir of the Markwills Family? So behave as one or you would surely make the headlines tomorrow," Gema scolded.

" And so what? Yes am getting married but that doesn't stop me from living my life. Am not a prisoner okay, so nothing would change except my status of being a spinster to a married lady, " Hazel countered annoyingly.

" Hazel being married comes with alot of responsibilities attached to it. You can't party getting drunk as before neither can you do all those tours you love doing just for pleasure. You would need to act accordingly and to top it all, you are about to be the daughter in-law of the most prestigious and wealthiest family in the country. You can't always do what you like so please behave maturely," Gema said pleadingly.

"Are you done preaching? Cause am already running late here," Hazel said applying her lip gloss as the final touch to her makeup.

" Were you even listening to me? Am talking about something serious here Hazel and all what you think is clubbing ? Gosh you are so stubborn," Gema murmured exasperatingly.

" Me trying to enjoy the remaining days I have got as a single lady is being immature? Come on Gema don't be a hypocrite. You are here lecturing me on how to behave maturely cause you aren't the one being served on a golden platter to be slaughtered like a sheep. Am sacrificing alot here not you so keep your damn advice to yourself " Hazel yelled .

"It wouldn't have gotten to this situation if only you had kept your damn attitude to yourself. I told you not to confront Mr Markwill that day but you didn't listen and now you are playing victim? Wow Hazel just Wow. I suggest you take your situation as a blessing rather than a curse because many women out there ,would trade their soul just to be close to the great Alexander Markwill , " Gema screamed in return storming off Hazel's room.

" Then you are free to take him , for am not ready to trade my freedom for that sick bastard, " Hazel retorted. "Am so tired of that attitude of yours. Always trying to make me feel guilty of every action I take. " She added.

"Am going clubbing and if you don't want to join me , then don't but stay out of my business cause it's my life not yours," Hazel muttered while heading to the main door of their Manor.

She was determined to make use of her single days and not even her parents could stop her.

She immediately alighted from her car when she reached the most exclusive club in the country, whose owner's real name was still a mistery to many people. It was rumoured that he owns casinos ,clubs,restaurants, hotels, malls, companies all over the world. But his face was never shown in the media . He was known as MR A in the country and many people imagined him as an old man expanding his business all over the world but didn't want to be famous .

Immediately Hazel entered the club, she was instantly graced with her favourite song which made her swaying her hips according to the beat of the song. After dancing, she later on decided to take a drink.

" A glass of tequila," she ordered while scrolling through the countless messages Gema sent telling her to come back home sobber and not drunk .

" How can a lovely princess like you be drinking alone with no company ? A handsome stranger said grinning.

" Pardon my manners my lady, am called Jorge and you?" He asked further.

"Am called Hazel and am shocked you didn't recognize me cause everyone in this City knows who I am and how influencial my family is, in this country ," She uttered arroganly.

Who wouldn't recognize such a beauty? She was the center of attention in the club . All the rich heirs of various prominent companies couldn't stop admiring her beauty and curves , though she was off limits and every Bachelor knew that. No one wanted to mess with her family talkless of The Markwills .

"Isn't that too much information you are uttering to a mere stranger? No hard feelings here but am new in this City and it's only normal that I don't know you, " He said taking a seat close to her.

" It's okay, you are forgiven . My name is Hazel Marino , the one and only heir to the Marino Family, " She said giggling.

" Well I would love to be graced with an opportunity to have a dance with a princess like you my lady," Jorge said while bringing his hands towards her, indicating for them to join the others.

Hazel was a complete mess by the time she gulped her fourth glass of tequila, which made Jorge jubilate internally. It wasn't everyday that one got such an opportunity with a beauty like Hazel and he was going to make good use of this opportunity. He was indeed playing with fire, but he didn't care. He was also rich so where is the difference? Besides spoilt brats like her are already used to one night stand with strangers like him. He thought gazing at her with desire and lust.

Alex was heading towards his Audi, when he spotted a drunk Hazel struggling to get free from a stranger.

" Let me go ! " She lamented .

Alex was so stunned that he thought he was hallucinating . Her continuous screams of help brought him out of his reverie .

He needed to sort some issues out at his club before going home but who would have known that this is what awaited him?

The sight of Hazel being touched intimately by a stranger was enough to rile him up . He quickly rushed to her , attacking the stranger by raining blows at him.

" Get the fuck off me man. This girl is my bedwarmer for tonight so don't spoil the fun .Besides, Who do you think you are? A superhero? I suggest you mind your own business if you don't want trouble in your life," Jorge said feeling pissed off by Alex interferance.

" Let her go. I owe you no explanation of who I am

so get your filthy hands off her ," Alex ordered looking dead serious.

Jorge got more annoyed with Alex and decided to teach him a lesson but unfortunately for him, Alex was so much stronger and faster than him. He was always faced with assasination attempts and threats to his life due to the power and wealth he possessed.His enemies where looking for his weak point but he had none .He got well trained since childhood on various fighting techniques such as boxing, kung fu , taekwondo and many others inorder to fight any skilled assasin or hit man hired to end his life. His pretty face was a great contrast to his toned muscles and height . He was so muscular for that angelic face , which was one of his secret weapons in obtaining many business deals especially from rich old women who fantasized about him fucking them.

He kept on punching Jorge who had already passed out from his strong blows. Jorge's face was covered in his own blood making the view nasty and horrible.

Alex didn't know what came over him, but he only realised that when his bodyguards held him tight preventing him from Killing the scumbag lying unconscious on the ground. Alex later regained his composure after struggling to calm himself down for few minutes. He was losing his mind and that has never happened before. He was known to be very calm yet dangerous which came as a shock to his bodyguards who had known him for his stoic and calm demeanor for the past five years.

"Get this piece of trash out of my view. I don't want him polluting my environment, " He commanded causing his bodyguards to instantly come out of their reveries.

He then proceeded on carrying the drunk Hazel who was busy swaying her hips to the imaginary song she was listening to.

That came as another shock to his bodyguards, but they quickly composed themselves and did the task they were assigned to do quietly without glancing at their boss.

" Let me go you big bad wolf," Hazel screamed not wanting to be carried by Alex.

" I am a very wealthy princess . You shouldn't carry me like a sack of potato," Hazel bosted not liking how he mistreated her earlier.

" You are still an arrogant brat when drunk , aren't you? The least you could say is thank you cause I saved you from being raped ," he voiced . Who knows what he would have done to you if I didn't find you earlier," He thought while sighing annoyingly. He didn't understand why he suddenly got pissed off just by thinking of what that stranger must have done to her before his arrival.

The ride back home was longer than expected so they reached Hazel's home at 1a.m . Since Hazel had fallen asleep immediately after giving him her own piece of mind, he had to carry her to her room.

He was stunned to see a worried Gema spacing front and back in the living room, which gave a view of an angry yet worried mom waiting for her stubborn daughter to reach back home and receive some beatings. The Sound of footsteps made Gema halt in her steps , just to be graced with the One and only Angelic face in the whole city. He looked like a Prince carrying his sleeping beauty.

"uhmm," Alex cleared his throat to bring Gema out of her reverie cause it didn't seem as if she was about ending her fantasy dream.

"Why are these girls so weird?" He whispered tiredly.

" Sorry? I didn't get you Mr. Markwill " Gema said looking nervous and hoping he didn't pay attention to her odd behavior tonight. He would definitely classify her as a weirdo . She thought sighing exasperatingly .

" I was asking were her bedroom is . She is way heavier than I thought, " He said trying to ease the tension.

" Oh yes ! Follow me, her room is this one here, " She said opening the door to Hazel's bedroom for Alex .

Alex was surprised at the amount of decorations in Hazel's room, the moment he stepped into her room.

It was a whole Disney world in there. She sure was a colour freak , he thought smiling at how girlish her room looked with paintings and drawings of some princesses in Disney movies. Her room was a great contrast to her lousy mouth and naughty personality. One would think that it's a docile and calm princess sleeping in here only to meet a lousy, naughty , arrogant and cunning brat called Hazel Marino.

Well that smile didn't go unnoticed by someone. If not for his cute dimples put on full display with that charming smile, she would have thought she was dreaming. Alex really looked cute with a smile on his face. Gema thought smiling too.

" Well I would be heading back home. Tell your cousin that her actions of today won't go unpunished. So she should be prepared to face the consequences of those actions immediately she wakes up ," Alex uttered looking dead serious with no signs of gentleness he had portrayed when carrying her cousin to her room.

" Mr Markwill can I ask you for a favour?" Gema asked feeling all nervous again.

" Firstly, I would like you to call me Alex cause we are way past the stage of formalities except in the office ofcourse . What do you want me to do for you?" Alex said giving his full attention to Gema.

" Please do not tell my parents about what happened today. I know Hazel maybe sometimes hot headed but she is not what you think she is. She just wanted to enjoy the remaining days she has left as a single lady, " Gema said gazing intently at Alex. She didn't want him to interprete things wrongly so it's best she talks to him now before it escalates.

" I understand that you are trying to protect your cousin but it doesn't stop the fact that she would be punished. I give you my word that I shall not tell your parents a word of what happened today but I shall handle my bride accordingly. Your parents might come Back sooner than expected so do not let this mistake repeat itself again," Alex added before making his way towards his car.

" Look what you did again Hazel. Now you are in deep shit ," Gema murmured.
