Aura frowned in wonder as her doorbell was impatiently pressed! Who else come? Lionel? Impossible! That man was always patient! Never impatient like this! Then who? Doesn’t Aura have any friends here at all?
Curious, Aura opened the door and was shocked to see who the man standing tall in front of her house was, Axel Xavier!Aura blinked in disbelief, afraid she might be seeing things wrong. Was the man standing before her really Axel Xavier? Or was it just her imagination because Aura missed him too much? But no matter how many times Aura blinked, Axel still stood tall in front of her! Not disappearing from her sight, but rather becoming clearer!Appearing fierce and full of anger! Like a dream, but real!Without permission, Axel pushed Aura into her house. Slowly, Axel didn't want Aura and their baby to get hurt. Although emotions were raging within him, but Axel was aware of what he could and couldn't do!Moreover, there were many things they needed to discu"Yes! I do love Lionel. Otherwise, how could I accept his proposal?" Aura lied boldly.Axel smiled sardonically, seemingly unaffected by Aura's answer. Although angry with Aura's response, but Axel was sure that she was lying. Even though it was just a glimpse, it was clear from Aura's wavering eyes when Axel asked that question. Axel wasn't easily deceived! He was trained to know when someone was lying and when someone was telling the truth!"Is that so? So, do you really love Lionel? Do you have no feelings for me at all?" Axel asked, advancing, intimidating Aura with his body."Yes! I never loved you!""So, what you said at the airport was a lie?" Axel provoked."Of course! Do you still need to ask again?"Slowly but surely, Aura walked backward, but unfortunately, Axel kept stepped forward until Aura had no other way and was cornered against the wall! Damn! Aura took the wrong path!Axel smiled slyly as he saw panic in Aura's eyes. Arrogantly, Ax
Axel grunted in frustration, not expecting that despite being separated for several weeks, Aura was more inclined to defend Lionel than him! This couldn't be allowed!"I just want to protect our baby and my future wife from being taken by another man!""Future wife? Keep dreaming! I am Lionel's future wife, not yours!"Aura's response further fueled Axel's irritation until he forcefully pulled Aura's body with a strong jerk, bringing her closer so suddenly that Aura screamed in surprise at Axel's abrupt movement!Dang, Axel’s been pulling off stuff that keeps surprising Aura since earlier! "I won't allow it! No one can marry you, except me! You belong to me!" Axel declared coldly, making Aura's hair stand on end with fear! However, Aura tried to cover it up, not wanting to appear weak. Axel has no right to talk like that. Doesn’t he realize his words are impossible? Isn’t it clear that daddy Charles opposes their relationship? So how could Axel possibly mar
Charles sat stunned in his large room, busy thinking about Axel. Was his son really staying in Berlin just for fun, like before? Could Axel forget Aura so quickly? Charles couldn't shake off his doubts. Considering how determined Axel was to leave the Xavier family for Aura, it seemed impossible for his son to give up so easily! Something was amiss, and it kept Charles awake, couldn’t sleep! His mind busy thinking! Busy analyzing!Finally, Charles gave in and promptly contacted Benny, even though he was aware that it was late at night. But he couldn't just sit idly when something strange seemed to be happening right before his eyes. Charles had to verify his suspicions immediately. There was no time to delay!"Benny, sorry to disturb you at this late hour," Charles began apologetically when his call was answered on the fourth ring.Proof that his assistant was probably resting and lost in dreams.Even though Benny was his assistant, but Charles was aware that Be
Aura remained silent, not responding to Lionel's words. She was confused about how to react, feeling like everything was wrong. Even accepting Lionel's proposal seemed like a mistake to Aura! She never expected she could act so wickedly!"Aura? I know I can't replace Axel's position in your heart yet, but I'm genuinely serious about my feelings for you!" Lionel emphasized, aware that Aura was feeling conflicted because of Axel.Aura's heart was increasingly burdened with guilt. Lionel's words were not wrong. He still couldn't replace Axel's position in her heart. For some reason, Axel was proving difficult to erase, even though Aura hadn't known him for long. Aura even realized her feelings for Axel only recently! Could Axel's position be irreplaceable? It couldn't be!"I know you're serious, Lio, but I still feel it's too soon. Please give me time to think," Aura finally requested. Lionel sighed softly, not wanting to force her. It would be pointless to insist if Aura w
All day, Aura had confined herself to her room, busy thinking Lionel's proposal. Was marrying Lionel the best choice? It should be, that’s why Aura accepted it back then, right? But why was Aura now even more doubtful?Of course, it was because of Axel! The man was like a poison that refused to leave Aura's life! Like a leech clinging to Aura's heart! Irritating! And now it’s resurfacing openly, making Aura’s turmoil even more intense! Axel not appearing physically has made Aura hesitant, especially now, right? It’s no wonder that her feelings of hesitant are getting thicker, making her mind even more dizzy! 'What should I do? Ahh, it's better to call Mommy! Maybe Mommy can give me advice!' decided Aura and immediately grabbed her phone.Mommy Erika heard Aura's narration in silence until Aura became anxious. It wasn't usual Mommy Erika to be this silent. What was going on? Did Mommy Erika disapprove of Lionel's proposal? But why? What the reason? Wasn't Lionel a good m
Axel cursed inwardly. He wondered, couldn’t Aura be more gentle with him? Wasn’t Aura gentle with Lionel? But why was it the opposite with Axel? After all, Axel was the man who had a much closer relationship with Aura because he understood Aura ‘inside and outside’! Unlike Lionel, who only knew Aura superficially! Impatient, Axel pressed the doorbell repeatedly, his frustration turning into anger as the woman still didn't open the door! Axel's patience was running out!Once again, Axel aggressively pressed the doorbell, forgetting his initial intention to be patient. Axel didn't care if the doorbell might break because of his behavior. Aura angrily snorted as her house's doorbell showed no signs of stopping! Axel was so rude! Always irritating her at any time! Was such a man going to be the father of her child? Oh, dear! Hopefully, their child wouldn't behave like Axel!With irritation, Aura opened the door. Her hands were folded across her chest, looking angry, bu
Ji Hwan furrowed his brows when he saw Lionel's number on his phone screen. A bad thought crossed Ji Hwan's mind, thinking that something bad had happened to Aura. No wonder his heart was immediately struck with panic!"Hello? What's wrong? Is something happening to Ae Ra?""What? Oh no. No. It's not that. I just want to tell you something."Lionel's response relieved Ji Hwan a bit, at least Aura was fine. Seriously, ever since Ji Hwan found out about the issues Aura was facing, his heart couldn’t rest! "About what?""I want you and Young Seo to come to our wedding as witnesses."Ji Hwan blinked. Afraid he misheard."Wedding? Witnesses? What do you mean?"Ji Hwan realized that his question might sound foolish, but let it be. The important thing is that Ji Hwan needed confirmation, making sure his assumption wasn't wrong!"I'm getting married to Aura this month. So I hope you can be there as a witness. Especially since Aura already sees you as her
Axel's threat made Aura lose control. Angry because in Aura’s ears, his words sounded so selfish! Despite Aura’s decision to marry Lionel not being an easy one! There were many things Aura considered, but Axel easily shattered Aura’s already fragile confidence! A jerk! "What have I done to you that you want to ruin my life? Is your family, the Xavier family, always like this? Do you always have to get whatever you want even if it hurts others? Is that it?""Ruin your life? How can you say something so wicked? Even though I never intended to ruin your life, Aura!""Is that so? Maybe you don't intend to ruin my life, but not daddy Charles! He must be eagerly waiting for the time when I have to suffer because of losing custody of my own child due to your presence!" Aura replied unconsciously.Forgetting that Aura shouldn't say such things!Axel's jaw hardened upon hearing Aura's response. Finally, Aura said what she had been hiding all this time!"What do you m
