They reached the mall and went inside it. Fred was tailing behind them keeping his gaze fixed on Hazel who was staring around the place with poker face. Soon Ana nudged Hazel pointing at the jewelry shop.

"Let's go there. I have noticed that I don't really have much accessories." Hazel smiled at her before shaking her head.

"I want to look for shoes. You go there with the bodyguard. I will go and look for shoe shop." Ana was hesitant as she looked at Fred who has his eyes away from them. He was good at pretending to mind his business.

She nodded and went to the jewelry shop with Fred while two bodyguards followed Hazel to the shoe shop. Remaining two bodyguards stayed out looking around to see any unnecessary intruders.

Hazel had many shoes but all of them had heels even though this time Cyrus did best to not place any heels there. But all of her shoes contains a little heel under them and she needed a shoe she could wear being at home. A comfortable one atleast.

She was looking through the shoes when suddenly she felt a presence behind her. Thinking that it might be a worker she kept her gaze fixed on the row of shoes.

"Mrs. Sylvester." Her heart stopped for a second when she heard a familiar yet not so familiar voice. Turning around her eyes met with the familiar brown ones.

Aaron Parker. With his hands inside the pockets of his pants he smiled at Hazel but didn't get one back from her. She stared at him with a frown. What is he even doing here?

"Hello. It's been a long time we met." Hazel awkwardly nodded looking away from him.

"Hello. Uhmm do you want something?" She said avoiding looking at him which Aaron found really amusing.

He stared at her for sometime without saying any word. She looked up at him in irritation and finally decided to take a leave after all the man always gives her creepy vibes.

"If there is nothing then good bye." She grabbed the slippers she liked and turned around to go but halted when she heard his voice.

"I can help you." Hazel froze for a second before slowly turning to him with a frown.

" Help? " She mumbled making him nod his head.

"I can help you escape Cyrus." Her eyes slightly widened hearing him. She gulped looking at him with a deep frown. She didn't know what to reply him and Aaron was fast enough to understand her turmoil.

"Look Hazel I know everything. But I want to hear from your lips. Do you love Cyrus?" Her eyes snapped up to him as she gaped at him. Love? Loving that vile monster is out of question. Something snapped in her as she didn't even realize that there was a recorder in Aaron's hand.

"No." She whispered to herself but Aaron caught it in the recorder. He smirked seeing that his plan was working.

"Do you want to stay married to him? Do you even consider him as your husband? " He said staring at her with his evil eyes having no mercy.

"No." And it was the truth. He wasn't her husband instead he was her captive, her tormentor, her owner. And she's not his wife, just a slave that's it. Aaron knew the last card he's going to throw will definitely do the work of cherry on top.

"Do you want to stay him?" He asked and she gulped down.

" I don't have a choice." She mumbled making him chuckle.

"Let me ask you again. If your mother is safe out of his hands. Then would you still want to stay with him? " He questioned once again and this time Hazel stayed numb on the spot. She knew she was staying with him just because of that contract and her mother.

Her mother is in his hands. She doesn't trust him not even a bit to take risks. If her mother wouldn't be in such a vulnerable condition she would have ran far away from him long time ago. Hazel was always a stubborn girl, she never learned how to give in that's why even when Cyrus caught her back then she still wanted to try and escape him till bitter reality of her being married to him crashed over her.

For the first time in her life she gave up. Because of him she gave up and decided to just do a peace with her fate and let him do what he wants. Because her mother was her only parent left. And Hazel didn't want to lose her at any cost.

"No." She said and that's it. He smiled victoriously before taking a step closer to her.

"Then come with me." Aaron offered making her stare at him with shocked eyes and parted lips.

"Trust me for once Hazel. I will take you far away from him. Your mother will be saved as well. Just trust me once. I can free you from him." He extending his hand for her to grab but she didn't.

"And why would you want to help me?" Aaron sighed pulling his hand back.

"Two reasons. One because I want to get rid of Ella and I know after you will disappeared from his life he will take her back. That womanizer can't stay faithful to one woman for long. And lastly I want to save you. You're innocent Hazel and deserves better." He sugarcoated making Hazel stare at him with questionable eyes.

She knew he didn't want to help her because he feels bad for her. He just wants to get back at Cyrus. But she also knew Aaron is also a powerful man maybe not as much as Cyrus but he still can help her. But what if her trusting him brought more chaos to her life?

"Hazel I know it's hard to trust me but I would just say that I am the only one who can help you. And I wouldn't lie I want to hurt Cyrus badly but don't worry I wouldn't use you for it. He will be thrown to the fire of hell automatically when you will be disappeared from his sight." He said manipulating her to his best.

Hazel gulped when she saw Fred standing where the bodyguards should be. "He's my man. I sent him to bring you somewhere I could get a chance to talk to you." Hazel inhaled a sharp breath staring at the shiny floor with doubtful gaze.

"Come with me Hazel. I am the only one who can go against him and help you." Saying that he again extended his hand for her to take making her gulp down.
