HAZEL MARTINEZ

We returned back from Spain last night and since yesterday I have been avoiding Rafael. Maybe he noticed it but he was too busy working so he didn't say anything.

It's only the books that has happily ever after stuffs in real life those things do not exist.

"Careful Haze." Came Deby's voice. I looked down to see I was about to touch the hot pan.

She came to me and rested her one hand on my shoulder "You, okay?"

I nodded.

"Sorry."

"Are you really okay Haze? What's wrong?"

Saying that I left the kitchen making my way back to my room.

"Hazel, I don't like lies."

"I am not avoiding you Rafael."

"And now you are testing my patience." He sounded irritated this time.

I remained quiet, it's better that way because I knew I can breakdown anytime and he was right, I was avoiding him.

Within seconds he spinned me around making me turn towards him with his hands resting on either side of me.

"Hazel."

"Let me go."

"Not until you tell me why are you avoiding me."

"How do you expect me to react after knowing my husband is gonna divorce me?"

"What?" He rolled his eyes moving away from me "I thought we were done with that topic."

"That's the problem Rafael you thought we were done but we weren't. We never talked calmly about this matter, all you do is avoid the topic."

"Olivia is alive, Hazel."
