"Now tell me the story. How did you get like this?" I lowered my voice as much as possible so that Axe wouldn't get emotional. I had to be good at persuading him. Otherwise, he could get out of control."Axe," I called out when he didn't respond or give me a short answer. I was getting impatient, which was probably why I consciously released my hold on him until our gazes met again."Tell me..." I looked deeply into Axe's heterochromia eyes that implied so much hurt. It even took me a long time to wait for his response, though in the end it was an unexpected reaction that I got.Of course once Axe realized how we were positioned, he quickly broke away and shouted angrily at me."This is all your fault! If you hadn't obeyed his orders, I wouldn't have gone to the bar and-" Axe's sentence paused on its own, where instantly his eyes moved wildly-then became unfocused by staring down."I-" Axe's voice choked, as if he couldn't continue his sentence. Then he
What does that mean? The last time Axe touched me. I didn't do this at all.Could it be that when we parted, Axe let another woman touch him? Remember what Axe told me at the funeral? He went to the bar and then didn't continue his sentence.Oh, was he tempted by one of the women there or was he deliberately taking out his frustration on me for leaving him in silence? I hope the first option is never an option.Wait a minute, it seems like what I didn't want was what happened. I mean, there wasn't just a single hickey on Axe's neck. One in between the first hickey, the second hickey, half poked out from under the collar of the regular t-shirt Axe was wearing.I tried hard not to be interested in looking, but my curiosity was much more dominant. Until my hand unconsciously moves to pull the collar of Axe's T-shirt until it almost touches his shoulder.My eyes widen to find that along Axe's shoulders are almost faded hickey marks, how hot is the woman Axe chooses t
"You're too much, Axe!"I finally got up from the bed, approaching the stone man who was standing still. I didn't. My intention in approaching him wasn't to engage him in conversation or small talk. Just seeing Axe's face reminded me of the hickey marks on his body, it was enough to make me feel hot and I didn't want to be further consumed by the flames of jealousy.My hand quickly moved to grab the plate that was still intact. Not wanting Axe to think otherwise, I quickly move to leave him.However, I had only taken one step. Suddenly I feel my foot being grabbed, it's not strong, but it's enough to make me stop.Axe...What does he want by holding me like this?"Sorry to trouble you, Bridgette."I smiled wryly at that, it was just that. I think Axe is starting to realize his mistake or maybe I need to speak up? I'm sick of seeing him continue to create this kind of pathetic drama."You're welcome. As a good wife, I should serve my husband properly s
"Push her over!" exclaimed Berverli coldly. He and his two subordinates had brought me to the rooftop of the restaurant with bad intentions. How crazy is this woman for Axe that she would do such a despicable act to get him for her."Don't go crazy!"Although I didn't have much strength, I tried my best to resist. Berverli couldn't kill me, there were other lives that needed to be kept alive. Just because this obsessed woman loved the father, it didn't mean she could eliminate that part of him."Let me go, Berverli!"I continued to rebel, glaring at the haughty woman, who was getting more and more excited at my pleas. She was unforgiving and seemed to take her orders seriously."Push her down!"Those were the last words I heard, before my body was forcibly thrown down. My heart seemed to fall down with it. Is this my destiny... to die in an irrational state.I should have felt the pain as my body slammed into the paved road. However, as soon as my eyes opened-a relief overcame my whol
Don't think too much, Bridgette.Once again my mind broke the boundaries. Maybe it's a good idea to take a warm bath so that I won't be consumed by burning jealousy for too long.I walk back to the bathroom. Without hesitation, my hand moved to press the knob until the door opened wide, revealing something that made my feelings instantly shattered.I didn't.What was I supposed to do looking at the scene ahead? Why is it like this when I'm trying not to care!What is he doing there?Does he want to die or is he just looking for my attention?It's really too much! I'm sick of the constant staring at him.But wait a minute... aren't those scissors, the ones I was looking for earlier now in his hands. What is he doing with that sharp object?Gosh, Axe!Just for once don't put me in a bind. Now I have to gamble between feeling angry at him or the pain of seeing him like...No! I need to quickly stop Axe before something untoward happens. Seeing him sitting curled up hugging both knees, wi
We're pulling at each other with no one willing to budge. For now really, I can't let Axe win, but I'm also scared to see him gripping the tip of the sharp part of the scissors. What if his hand gets hurt and bleeds. No way!The only way to stop Axe, I have to...Plak!Slap him, and that's what I did. The shock Axe got won me over until the scissors were fully in my hands. Not wanting to add to the problem, I quickly threw the origin of the object away."I'm so sorry, Axe."I quickly cupped the face that had just received a slap from me. I felt even more devastated when Axe wouldn't look at me-he chose to close his eyes."Don't touch me. I'm dirty." Again. He said the same sentence, this time in a sober state. Axe didn't even dare to touch me, he just shook his head trying to get free from my two hands that locked his face.What was wrong with my husband, why was he acting like a girl who had just been fucked?"Tell me what happened to you, Axe."I forced my hand to stay on his face
I rushed to hug his body once more. If I could hold Axe so tightly, why should I let go? The problem with him spending the night with another woman, let's just say it's punishment for leaving Axe, what matters is that right now I have him and can make him look at me."I can't breathe."Axe's words made me realize that I quickly broke away from him, I was too excited and unconsciously smothered him too tightly."Sorry."I smile at Axe's heterochromia eyes, which despite the emptiness-at least aren't as bad as they were when I first found him here.I quickly got up to turn off the shower faucet that was pouring down on both of us, Axe's condition was so bad that I forgot about our wet condition."Now let's go back to the room, shall we?" I persuade, not able to bear seeing Axe still shivering. I think he's going to have a fever after this, the pale face and blue lips can't lie to anyone who sees Axe right now.***"Why did you call me here, dad?"I
My gaze wandered far away at the innocent-looking face as it slept. After leaving Mr. O'Connor's office, I went nowhere but back to my room. Our room, mine and Axe's.My breathing was ragged as I imagined the video dancing vividly in my head. Maybe I was feeling disappointed in my husband, but coming to him to explode, venting my frustration for him wasn't ethical in this state.Why erupt anyway, if I can talk it out with a cool head? We're not kids anymore, or I should have thought too... it could have been Axe's momentary lapse of judgment due to the surrounding pressures-I wasn't around and he was having an argument with his father.All in all, I'm guilty here too. Axe was right, if only I hadn't left him. He wouldn't have gone to the bar and ended up making a one-night stand. To the point where he now has a fever, caused by my anger at him yesterday. "Get well soon," I said after crawling up the right side of the bed, where I'd laid down when we were in the same bed together.I s
