Bewitched His Soul

Enzo checked his mobile, but there was no sign of any message or call. Didn't Hazel promise she would contact him? It looks like she had completely forgotten about him once he was out of her sight.

He decided to call her, but she did not answer. After trying a couple more times, he got frustrated and opened his laptop to attend his meeting. During the meeting, all he could think about was her.

After some time, his phone beeped, and when he saw it was a message from Hazel, he told his employees to halt the meeting for a few minutes.

His employees were aware that their boss was spending more time on the phone nowadays. Many even suspected he was dating someone. They were curious to know what type of woman caught their evil boss's interest.

Enzo opened the message, and there were only two words — can't talk. He frowned and texted her, "What are you doing? Why are you not picking up my calls?"

A minute later, he received another message stating just one word— busy.

Enzo was annoyed, so he texted, "Call me now." 

After that, he never got any reply. So after ten minutes of waiting, he knew she would not text him anymore, so he resumed his meeting. He came back very short-tempered, and he kept on pointing out unnecessary faults with his employees.

The employees prayed that whoever texted their boss gave him good news so he could stop taking his frustration out on them. It looked like the woman had such a tight rein on their boss, and she was able to change his mood with just a simple text.

The meeting ended, and to take out his anger, he went to the gym and worked out vigorously. It was around nighttime when Hazel texted him again, "Are you free?"

Now that she had the time to talk to him, he ignored her to show how much her actions irritated him.

After some time, another message came, "Have you gone to bed? Good night! Let's talk tomorrow."

After reading her message, he wanted to throw away his phone. How can she act like this? It's her fault, and instead of consoling him, she decided to stop texting just because he did not answer her one message.

He knew he would not have a good night's sleep if he did not talk to her, so he decided to be the bigger person and texted, instead, "Let's have a video call."

Enzo got his laptop, sat on the bed, then called her. The image that greeted Enzo had him hold his breath. It was an image of Hazel's chest, and it showed her wearing a low-cut top, and he could slightly see her breasts. They looked so fair and soft, there were even a few droplets of water running down, making it look so intriguing.

He thought maybe Hazel was moving from one place to another and was holding the laptop directly at her breast. Luckily, after a few seconds, Hazel settled down on the bed, and her face came to the screen.

Hazel had just washed her hair, and it was still wet and messy. Her face was bare of any makeup, cheeks slightly flushed because of the hot shower, and was wearing a modest cotton gown which had a low cut at the neck, making her cleavage visible.

Enzo's throat became dry as he could not stop looking at the faint lines of her two breasts, which were visible through her clothes. How can she look so damn sexy and hot even in simple cotton pajamas?

Hazel did not notice the lust in his eyes and started talking, "Enzo, I am so sorry I could not talk to you."

"It looked like you were so busy that you could not even spare a few minutes for me." Enzo showed his displeasure.

"Don't be so angry. I'm with you now," Hazel pacified him.

"Ya, you could not wait when I did not reply to your single message," Enzo mocked. He thought he should still be the one chasing her.

"I didn't want to disturb you if you were sleeping," Hazel replied.

"But I want you to disturb me. I don't care whether it's midnight, or it's in the middle of a meeting. Never hesitate to call and pester me," Enzo instructed.

He waited the whole day just for her message, and here she was thinking, she was being a nuisance.

"But you told everyone never to call you at odd hours," Hazel said. She remembered Esther had told that her big brother was very strict when he worked. He never entertained any calls, even from his family members.

So Hazel did not want to call him when he had other priorities. But what she did not know was that nothing held more importance to Enzo than her.

"Hazel, you are not just anybody. How many times do I need to tell you that? You are the only exception to all my rules. You are privileged to break or mend my rules," Enzo said softly.

"Then I will not hesitate to trouble you," Hazel pouted.

"Oh, be my guest. Trouble me for the rest of my life," Enzo smirked.

Hazel giggled, feeling spoiled by Enzo.

"Now, tell me, what kept you so busy?" Enzo asked.

"My grandparents came to see us, and since it's been so long since they visited, they did not leave me alone, even for a second." By grandparents, she meant Ava's parents.

Enzo knew how much her grandparents treasured her, out of all the grandkids, Travis, Hazel, and Evelyn. They had a soft spot for her since she was the youngest one.

"It was so difficult to text you since they were sitting next to me. They wanted to watch a movie with me right now, but I lied that I have to study," Hazel continued.

"I wonder if it was hard for them to believe you were studying," Enzo chuckled as everyone was aware of how studious she was about her academics.

"You always make fun of me. Go away, I will not talk to you anymore," Hazel crossed her arms.

He pulled her leg on purpose. It was because when she acted mad, she looked like a cute cat waiting for her master to stroke her.

"Okay, calm down.. No one is supposed to tease our princess," Enzo declared.
