The Billionaire's Mistake (Anya and Daniel) novel Chapter 272

Hazel went about her day without issues. What she did not know was that she had almost lost her life that day as when Hanna who had heard from Mike that she was married had something in store for her. But nothing could get close to Hazel with Marcus watching.

But someone else barely escaped with his life.

In the other side of the city, Andrew Woods coughed a mouthful of blood as he sat up from a bathtub mid bath. He could barely breath. He had returned back in the dark of night and tried to bath despite wounded.

He tumbled and fell so hard that the sound made it his way out of the room.

Several of his men were around him trying to get him out of the tub when they saw him vomit blood.

“Young Master!” someone screamed when they saw the blood and he was hurriedly carried to the bedroom. He seemed to be shivering as though having a fever, so they placed a heavy blanket under him.

An Elderly woman rushed out and came to his side. When she saw the blotches of blood, she yelped slightly.

“What is happening? Why is he bleeding?” she asked. But before she could get a response, an older woman hurried over.

“Why all the commotion?” she scolded everyone in the room. But when she saw Andrew on the bed, she panicked. She noticed his pale face and the blood on the sheets and asked what happened.

“The young master was bathing for quite a while, so I called to him to find out if he is fine. He did not respond, so I and some men entered. He was just lying there in the tub, not moving. We went over to get him out of the tub and he spat blood,” someone explained. Just that moment, Andrew on the bed groaned and opened his eyes.

“Andrew,” the two women hurried to his bedside. Andrew opened his eyes to find his mother and grandmother.

“What happened?” His mother, Emily asked.

“She is married,” Andrew answered weakly.

“Who?” his grandmother asked.

“Hazel, the grand daughter. She is married to someone already,” Andrew said, “Her husband, he did this to me when I tried to forcefully take her.” His words made the room fall to freezing temperatures.

“How is that possible? If she was already married, you would at worst return, why are you injured? Are you saying you men could not protect you? Are you saying a lone girl did this?” his mother asked.

“Yes, your mother is right. If she was already married to someone, you would only meet a wall when you try to take her. There is no way it could end up with your forcibly taking her, for her husband to react. Why did you not leave?” His grandmother said.

“There was no warning. It was as thought they knew I was coming. The moment my mean left the car, they were sniped down. As for the other side, I could not see their faces, but they were strong, Mother.” He explained trying to take deep breaths.

“How strong?” she asked.

“They took us out cleanly. They were probably military trained. They had sophisticated weapons and outnumbered us. We did not stand a chance,” he explained.

“The Greyson family, they must have known she was already married,” his grandmother, Janet turned around and marched out of the room.

“They dare deceive us,” Emily said through her teeth and walked off after Janet.
