Christian

"I can't believe I have to see you again Lara." I spit out, trying to control my anger. Seeing the daughter of my father's enemy shouldn't make me this angry as my father is not exactly on my side right now. But this is Lara we are talking about. She's crazy, manipulative spoiled brat of James Anderson, who has been running behind my father, trying to beat him in his own business. In short, he is a smuggler too. Just like her father, her hobby is to torture people, especially girls of her own age. It's given that I hate her, to no end.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were coming back?" She pouts, throwing her arms around me. For five whole minutes she was struggling on the floor like a wobbler, it was fun. "Hands off Anderson!" I shove her hands away and her not so pretty face scowls at me.

"Oh honey just because our parents don't get along doesn't mean that we have to act like strangers!" She says blinking repeatedly.

"Shut up. Tell me what did you do to Hazel." Don't try my patience woman, I have no interest in bonding with you just because we have known each other for a long time. I still keep cursing my luck for that.

"Hazel? Who's that?!!" She snarls.

"April Grey. Why did you hurt her? You know you're never going to get me no matter how many times you try Lara, quit acting like this, I'm warning you." I'm fed up with her. She's obsessed with me ever since she saw me ten years ago. Yes my luck ran out at that unfortunate moment. 

"Are you serious? You call her Hazel?For what? To make her feel special? That's stupid. She's a weakling Christian! How can you choose her over me!"

"She's not a weakling Lara watch your mouth!" I shout, taking a huge step forward and she takes one back. My arms are shaking. If only I could hit girls.

"And about choosing someone over you?" I slap the wall behind her with my hand. "It will always be someone else over you Lara! Open your eyes! I'm never going to be yours." I shut my eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath. This is frustrating. Even talking to her is like breathing poison.

"I'm warning you." I growl to her while she shifts a little, trying to escape. "Don't even look at her. Don't talk to her. Don't talk about her. Don't touch her. It will not end well for you." With that, I quickly back away and walk out of her room, my men following behind me.

I'm not letting her go with just this little warning though. She's paying for this. For hurting Hazel.

"Call Anderson, tell him I want to talk to him about his daughter." I instruct one of my men.

Hazel. Thinking of her pains my heart. What did she do to deserve that torture? As far as I know she didn't deserve it. Again, I know this is my fault. I shouldn't have let her stay with me. But what else could I have done? She looked like a lost puppy when she came to me last night. Also the idea of us living together didn't sound that bad to me. It's been a long time since I've actually lived with someone.

"Sir." Richard, one of my men hands me the phone. "Yo, Christian." A deep, disgusting voice says from the other side before I can speak.

"Anderson, I'll get straight to the point-" I get cut off as he starts laughing all of a sudden.

"What's so funny you dog?" I can't hide the hatred in my voice. Someday I want to break his neck for good.

"Well, sorry. It is so funny that you sound so much like that father of yours. Why you McDermotts are always in a hurry?" I think this guy wants to die early, he is suicidal. My rolled up fist tightens, making my nails dig into my palms. Anger management. Christian. Calm down.

"I'm not a McDermott. I'll stitch that mouth of yours, if you call me one. Now, listen to me and don't you dare interrupt." I inhale deeply, letting my anger melt down a bit. "Tell your daughter to be in her limits. Tell her  if she doesn't stop hurting the people I care about, Anderson family will suffer from it's after effects. I hope you remember what does that mean." I throw the phone at Richard with a jerk. This bastard makes my blood boil in my veins.

After a ten minutes drive I reach the city hospital where Hazel is admitted. I spot Julian And Sam nodding at me from the front gate. I smile at them before going inside. I trust these two the most, that's why I appointed them here. I've been with them since I was a kid. They're kind of my guardians, but they also work for me.

I ask the receptionist for Hazel's room number and head straight for her room. I generally don't panic or worry about anyone but I feel anxious as I get closer. Sh will be okay. She is okay.

"Hazel!" I call out when I step inside.

"Hey! Not so loud!" Jayson whispers angrily. For some reason he is always mad at me. Not that I care.

"Sorry. How's she doing?" I ignore his glare and glance behind him where Hazel is sleeping, IV attached to one of her hands. She looks peaceful though. That's a relief. I can't let anything happen to any girl because of me anymore, especially not her.

"Doctors said she needs to open her eyes." He mutters. "Her head has hit somewhere sharp."

Shit.

"Damn it." I curse hitting the wall beside me. Nothing good happens when I'm involved.

"I am warning you Christian McKinney." Jayson's hand grabs my shirt pulling me closer. "April has suffered a lot. Her life is a mess and I don't want you to make it even worse!" He shouts making me wince. His eyes burn with anger as he looks at me. Does he like her? He is absolutely in love with her! That possessive look mixed with sorrow tells me that he knows his love is not reciprocated and never will be. 

"Hands off!" James comes inside thrashing the door open with a gun pointed at Jayson.

"Relax James. Put that gun down."

"You creep! You have been keeping a watch on us all this time?" Jayson says, letting go of my shirt. Why would I keep a watch on you?

"Guys?" My head shoots up at her weak voice coming from the other end of the room. Jayson moves quickly towards her before I can and I feel somewhat defeated, but this is obviously not the time to fight. So I flash my best smile at her after sitting on the stool beside the bed and she smiles back. 

 "Hey Christian."
