Someone's mistress 2

Now hazel had grown into a beautiful lady with her slender statue, her brown eyes fit just with her flawless skin, her lashes long to the extent it touched just below her eyes when she closed it. Luckily, throughout the past two years, there hasn't been any riot between Bougreve and any of the night creatures land. Throughout these years, they had been able to get a house with some household material, they would not be classified under the poor class or middle, maybe between the two.

"Hazel could you help me with the sweaters today, I feel sick"

"Alright mum, but have you taken some medicines"

"No, not at all"

"Should I get some for you?"

"Don't bother, if it continues after today, then I'll take some"

"Okay, I'll get going already" Hazel gave an airy kiss on both of Vivian's cheeks and left. At the center marker, everywhere was busy and she sold much sweaters and when there wasn't much customers, she would knit. The evening came soon and she hurried back home, she saw her mum shivering on the bed with a blanket wrapped around her, when she checked her temperature, it was high, she immediately rushed to get medicines, a bowl of water and a towel. She soaked the towel into the water and put it on her head, as she rushed to bring food for her to eat. Vivian ate a little portion and drank the medicines

"I'll call a doctor mum"

"No, I've taken the medicines already" Vivian opposed

"That's what you said this morning"

"We Dont have the money to pay for a doctor, Hazel"

"I sold some sweaters today, we could use the money"

"Don't worry, I'm good and we should use the money for tomorrow's food"

"What about you then"

"I'll be fine.... come on, go change your clothes, lock the doors and windows before you sleep"

"okay"

"And eat, you haven't eaten since you came"

"I will, just get well"

The clouds were bright the next day with the birds singing in their various voices. Hazel rushed to check on her mum and luckily, the fever had come down a bit

"Told you I would be fine by today" Vivian boasted

"You still need to rest, I'll take care of the shop today"

"Okay...I'm hungry,get me food"

"Right away ma'am" Hazel teased

Hazel went to the market as she had said, but she noticed it was scanty and not busy like the last day

"Why is everywhere looking empty" she asked relles "it looks like a riot happened, but since few people are here then its safe to stay right?". She walked forward to the shop and opened it. At noon, there were some carriage coming towards the center market, the carriage belonged to one of the elites and everybody bowed as it came closer. Surprisingly, it stopped at Hazel's shop and Helios stepped out

" Wow, good afternoon Ms Hazel "

Helios was someone in his early thirties with blond hair, he was average height, just some few inches taller than Hazel, he had a sharp jaw and chin, just the perfect type to get girls drooling

"good afternoon Mr Helios" she bowed her head to show respect " I never expected your visit"

"Even so with me, I was expecting to see Vivian but how lucky of me"

"I'm honoured to have you at my shop"

"Haha"

"Please do sit, I'll see that I get you coffee"

Helios went into the shop and sat comfortably waiting while Hazel brought in the coffee

"May I know what brought you here" Hazel asked

"What brought me here?" he said taking a sip from the cup "I can't believe Vivian never mentioned anything to you"

"____"

"Well I have noticed you ever since we last saw at the Meadows and I have taken a liking for you..."

"But you have a wife Sir Helios" Hazel interrupted

"Being my mistress will do"

"I'm sorry, but I do not want to be one"

"Dont you want to change tour status from Ms to a Lady"

"I'm okay with my status, I wouldn't want to be someone's fifth or sixth wife"

"Well I Dont take no for an answer, and I didn't come to ask, I've decided already"

"...."

"Go tell Vivian and I'll decide which day you'll be coming with me" and with that statement he dropped the cup, he sighted relles in the cage " you got a cute rabbit " and he left
