Today is Saturday.
It's been six days since that night. The night Axe kicked me out, I never again set foot there, in his room. I didn't even see him for six whole days.In the mornings Axe would always leave first, leaving breakfast behind, and at night he'd come home so late. Axe seemed to avoid me, as if seeing me wasn't part of his activities anymore.I myself tried to look unconcerned. What did I do wrong to him anyway? Why did his attitude change so much. For all I know, he's never said that he has any objections to my going to New York tomorrow. I hope my guess isn't right that he's a bit disapproving about me and mom and dad's decision.Unfortunately, mom and dad won't be able to accompany me tomorrow. Yesterday morning they said goodbye to Uncle Luke's hotel, who is in Bristol celebrating his wedding day with his girlfriend, Denisa. Uncle Luke is dad's close relative and business partner. He's so kind and caring. I'm sure his girlfriend will be very lucky to have Uncle Luke as her husband. "Yes, mom. What's up?"We hadn't seen each other for about a day and mom was already calling me for the third time. How possessive is she?"Honey, is Axe home yet?"I glanced at the clock on my phone. I rolled my eyes and sighed softly. It's only nine o'clock at night. There's no way Axe is home. As I said, he's changed a lot lately. Maybe I should talk to him later."Not yet, Mom. What's wrong?"There was a sigh from the other side. Mom seemed to be thinking before answering my question. "His cell phone can't be reached. I don't know. I feel like mom is so worried about your brother. I'm afraid he's doing something crazy." I could clearly hear mom's fearful tone when she spoke to me. Could it really be that Axe was in danger? A mother's instinct is never wrong, right?"Calm down, Mom. Axe is fine. When he comes home, I'll tell mom.""All right, Honey. Mom trusts you. Tell him to call mom if he can.""Yes, Mom. Take it easy."Bruk!I had just finished calling mom. The door to my room suddenly burst open, revealing the handsome man we had just talked about. Not as neat as usual. Now Axe's work suit was no longer on his body, only a white shirt with his hands rolled up to the top of his arms. He staggered towards me. His gaze was also unfocused, occasionally closing his eyes, as if he wanted to retrieve the consciousness left behind."Don't leave me!" his words sounded like a whisper. I even saw the sadness that was so obvious there."Don't leave me, please!" Again, this time I could sense Axe's frustrated tone. No longer striding, he now towered over me. The smell of alcohol wafted out of him as he lowered his head and brought his face closer to mine. "You still wanna leave me, em?" he whispers sensually followed by a small nibble on my ear.Suddenly I pushed him away. It was a bit unexpected what he did to me."What's wrong with you, huh?" I asked a little emotionally. Because Axe tried to kiss my cheek."You're drunk!" I kept pushing him. Trying to get free from him who currently managed to confine me with both hands.Spontaneously I kicked Axe in the stomach until he backed away so far.Seeing an opportunity, I quickly got up. Running in the direction where the exit lies.Damn. My bedroom door was locked. A clatter from Axe's direction caught my attention. Axe, with a sardonic smile, showed me some keys in his hand.I just realized something, he had planned this. That's why all these heartbreaking events seemed to support his activities."Give me back my room key!" I moved closer to him, trying to grab what I needed right now. But it's not that easy. Axe was so tall, I couldn't reach his hand."I want you," he said hoarsely. Making my eyes go wide. What does he mean?"Like that asshole said, I want her, I want to drink her. Yes, me too. I want you. I want to drink you. What do you think, Bri? Would you-"Plak!If you're asking if I slapped him. I did. I slapped him. That brash mouth of his needs to be smacked. How could Axe talk to me like that. I'm his little sister. How could he risk my dignity with a brain as low as his crotch?"Don't you dare—“ My sentence was cut short by Axe's hand around my neck.My eyes blinked, trying to catch the last of my suddenly lost breath."Ax—“ I tried to call his name. Thankfully, he finally came to his senses and released the choke hold. Axe's eyes stared at me wide, as if he wanted to burn me alive. Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do but inhale as much oxygen as possible. "Don't ever refuse me!" said Axe. He grabbed my arm and pushed me onto the bed. In a single jerk my clothes were torn off by him, exposing an innocent part of my body.What could I do? I could only cry as Axe began to touch inch by inch of my body. Every now and then I tried to resist. But, he came back to strangle me every time I tried to resist him. I don't know what happened to Axe this time. He who I knew to be so shy yesterday suddenly turned into a demon incarnate. The pain he inflicted was no longer a big deal to me, all I wanted was one thing. He finishes his crazy activities against me, where I will wait for him to get tired. After that I could leave quietly.I vowed never to see his face again.5 years laterI took a deep breath. Trying to calm myself down. This is my eighth day working here. The door bearing the words 'President Director' seemed to force my heart to pump faster.Not knowing what Mr. Witson was going to discuss, I was summoned to his room right after the lunch hour was over. What was even more thrilling was that I was only a substitute assistant, while the previous assistant was on maternity leave. Yes, probably about a whole year according to my contract."Come in!" The baritone voice invited me to open the glass door.I entered with full nervousness. Because Mr. Witson is such a cold and untouchable person. His eyes were currently staring at me sharply, I felt like my entire body was being skinned just by that sense of sight."Sit down." I smiled awkwardly as soon as I noticed his somewhat softened voice."What's wrong, Si-"Ah. I thinned my lips, not having finished my sentence but Mr. Witson had already cut it off."What's my schedule tomorrow?""You hav
"Do you remember I was the first for you, baby girl?"I tried to make sense of what was happening after hearing a stern whisper in my ear. I had never considered what it would feel like to wake up with someone's hands around my hips. I try to hold my breath as the deep, raspy voice brings to memory a particular name. A name I didn't wish to keep in mind."I miss you."I abruptly stood up and freed myself from his grasp. Why can I see his face here after whatever I did yesterday? I was at a place that I had only been a few hours in.I stood up and climbed out of the hotel room's king-size bed. took a step back when I saw him coming."How did you get here?" I inquired almost in a whisper. "Go away!" He snatched both of my hands as I screamed. I made a vain attempt to shake him off. I lacked the strength to resist him because of his enormous size.Observing how I constantly attempting to escape. Passion flashed in his eyes. I have seen that before, yes. The five-year-old incident gave
I hugged my body tightly, occasionally rubbing my skin rough. It doesn't matter that I'm shivering so much right now, the sound of the shower no longer matters. I felt like dying considering my life had no meaning anymore. My world was shattered again in one day, after years of setting my heart to let go of that mistake.The man I never expected came back to ruin everything. I really hated him. Why was I destined to meet him? Why did life seem unfair to me. Five years is not a short time to make peace with the past. And now he's taking away that temporary peace at will.Really, I don't want to let his seed in my body. I'd rather die. I'm already worthless anyway. There's no point in staying. Yes. I should have drowned my body in the bath up. But that murderous gaze stared back at me. I don't know when he was there. I didn't care. I just wanted him to leave.Sure enough. My wish was granted right then and there. Axe left without saying a single word. But my relief didn't last long. Bec
I sat silently on the big bed lamenting my unfortunate fate. Axe managed to force me into his mansion. This is where I ended up. Stranded in a room where all the walls were painted white. A few paintings hung there. I let out a rough sigh, regretting the promise I made that I had to keep. Axe was a piece of shit. He's so cunning and cruel. I was like a prisoner to him. There weren't even any windows in my room. There were only a few air vents, and even those were small holes for escape.I remember very well how his mansion was located. Along the way we entered a very deep forest. That's right. This mansion was in the middle of the forest, far from the civilization of the city. I don't know what his purpose was in bringing me to a place like this. I'm sure. This mansion is his hiding place. Because, in the middle of the trip earlier. Axe had taken me to his penthouse. Picking up some of his things that he left behind."Miss, the master is waiting for dinner." A voice accompanied by an
I opened my eyes and found that it was getting noon, as the wall clock showed 10.30 am. I rubbed my face roughly, not usually sleeping so deeply. It took me a while to realize that my hands were no longer tied. In fact, they were already wrapped in bandages because it looked like I was injured when I tried to break free. But the question is, who is treating me? Axe? Is that possible? I couldn't believe it. It could have been that guy asking Edward to do it.I got off the bed. I didn't want to think about something that wasn't important. My mind was tired. It was better to clean myself up now. I could have angered that cruel man if I just cried and cried. To be honest, I'm tired of rebelling if I don't get any results from my rebellion. It's useless, isn't it?After my personal business was done. I accidentally saw a letter lying on the nightstand. My forehead wrinkles in surprise, isn't it if Axe has something to say. He can send a message via whatsapp or email. Strange. I opened t
"Yes, sir.""'Miss hasn't regained consciousness yet, sir.""Yes, sir."The faint sound of heavy voices was my morning alarm. I opened my eyes and immediately realized that I was already in my room. My head felt a little dizzy, several fragments of last night's events rushed to remind me of the angry figure last night, Axe. Where is he now? Wasn't I supposed to look back at Axe's condition when I heard the chaos he caused? Then how come I'm here. Waking up in such a mess?"Good afternoon, Miss. What would you like to eat?" That heavy voice startled me."Ed, what are you doing here?" I asked incredulously. I pulled the blanket closed, making sure my clothes were still safely in place. Thankfully, there was nothing missing on my body."Mister asked me to look after you, miss.""What's wrong with me?""You fainted last night, Miss. The doctor said you were exhausted."I nodded in understanding. It was no secret that living with Axe would be physically and mentally exhausting. It was unfo
"Give me back my phone and laptop, Axe." I wasn't begging him. My tone of voice sounded rude of course. What he took from me were my assets. I had the right to ask for them even if he didn't want them back."What for?" Axe closed his laptop a little loudly. He gave me a sharp look before finally packing up his things. I'm surprised at him, it's a holiday, Axe shouldn't be busy with his work right now."I'm bored," I reply quietly. I don't want to look into his eyes which continue to pierce me."A half-truth is worse than a complete lie. You obviously know that, baby girl." Axe rose from his seat. His towering body seemed to remind me that I was no match for him."You want to escape, don't you? Ask someone else for help. I know what's in that pretty brain of yours." Axe gripped my jaw slightly. I could feel the atmosphere changing in his body. He was angry. That's for sure."Let go!" I hit his hand hard. Axe freed my jaw. A lopsided smile played on his lips. As if my punch was somethin
I looked at myself in the mirror. In front of me was a frail-looking woman trying to look okay. I forced a smile until my reflection did the same. My appearance was perfect. It looks like Axe deliberately gave me a decolette look dress instead of a bustier look, so only my neck and chest are perfectly exposed. My hair is styled by his men in a messy bun style. The man prepared me in such detail that I almost didn't recognize myself.I walked slowly out of the room and towards Axe. He looked so handsome in his black tuxedo and matching bow tie. I'm not complimenting him, because that's the fact. I can say that Axe is one of those men who is exceptionally good looking. He's very handsome indeed. Unfortunately, his vices masked that fact in my eyes.Axe held his arm out to me. I stared at it for a moment before taking it. His piercing stare forced me to. I rolled my eyes lazily. Walking hand in hand with him was like walking to my own death. Every breath I took was heavy. Besides, the co
