"What's wrong, why are you looking at me like that?" I asked spontaneously. The atmosphere at dinner was suddenly gloomy. Accompanied by the sharp gaze that had been directed at me. I didn't feel like I'd done anything wrong to him. But the look in his eyes clearly said something different."You owe me!" Axe's deep, husky voice made me think.That should have been what I told him. I don't owe Axe anything. He's the one who owes me an answer.'I know you were here'. His words were still ringing in my head. How he knew where I was at that time. And the coincidence yesterday, where it turned out that Morine was his adoptive mother, was really difficult for me to accept. Did Axe have something planned for me at that time?I put my spoon and fork down on the plate hard, letting the three objects come together to make a sound. I looked straight at Axe who was still faithfully watching my every move."You owe me the most," I finally said. Making the man I'd been with burst out in momentary l
It's been a week since I returned to this place, the cage where I was both sheltered and hurt. Although my relationship with Axe has gotten a little better. But sometimes I still harbor a dislike for him. He still touches me often since the last punishment incident he gave me. I don't try to stop him like I used to. Axe is very stubborn. I couldn't make him realize it. Continuing to resist him also made me tired. I was his pawn, he controlled and controlled my steps. It was like I had no right to my own life the moment I saw him slamming my things.Flashback on."Can you give me back my cell phone, Axe. I'm begging you. I've given in to all your wishes." I begged him for who knows how many times. I want my phone, that's all. But Axe was only focused on the tv monitor in front of him. He didn't pay any attention to me who was hoping he'd change his mind after holding onto my important possession for so long."I'm talking to you," I said angrily. I grabbed the stick in his hand. That's
"What's going on, Axe?" I peppered him with questions again when we finally arrived at his mansion. During the trip the man was silent. Every now and then I saw his hands shaking for no reason."You act weird." Still no answer from him. Axe just sat quietly at the bar table. I'm sure his mind was wandering. Seeing him like that made my head feel even dizzier. I don't know, the moment he pulled me running and the whole way home I wasn't feeling well. I felt nauseous at times, but I was still able to endure it well. But seeing that Axe's situation wasn't like usual, I thought I needed something that could make me comfortable. I needed a break.After just a few steps, I felt like I had a boulder thrown on top of my head, which made it feel even heavier. My vision became blurry. I could still vaguely see Axe, who remained where he was. My hand was trying to reach his shoulder. Unfortunately, at the same time everything was getting dark until Axe's voice shouted my name loudly. My body wa
"What are you doing, Axe?" I asked curiously. I'd seen him all morning minding his own business in one of the empty rooms of his mansion."Renovating this place into a room," he replied as he busily painted. "For our baby," he continued excitedly. I couldn't believe that a man like him would be this enthusiastic about becoming a father. Because sometimes Axe was too unstable, his attitude could change drastically and unpredictably. He could also be so emotional towards me."Isn't it too soon? I'm only six weeks along." I looked down at the sweat-soaked back. It seemed like the air conditioning here couldn't compete with his raging spirit. What a possessive human being. I even still remember how he suddenly hired a female obstetrician for me, just because he didn't want Doctor Arnold to examine me. Oh. He was jealous of his own personal doctor. But I'm happy. Because thanks to my pregnancy, Axe was being nicer to me. He also kept his word, not touching me at all."You'd better rest fir
Since yesterday's incident. I finally managed to persuade Axe to let me stay with him in his penthouse. Although it was a bit forced, Axe still said yes. He gave me the condition not to try to run away from him again. I wouldn't do it if he continued to be gentle with me. However, for the other condition where I have to continue to stay in my room, I'm not sure. Because the only reason I wanted to stay in his penthouse was so that I could freely go in and out and do whatever I wanted. Including finding out some things I don't know about that guy. Right now I'm already at the shopping center without Axe's knowledge. Buying a new cell phone for me. Of course I'll contact mom later. I wanted to know the rest of the details about the agreement, the black and white agreement that involved Axe having to stay away from us for a long time."Hi, Bridgette. Long time no see." I immediately turned around when I heard a voice greeting me from behind.My eyes widened at the sight of the person in
I opened my eyes slowly. My head felt dizzy after trying to remember the incident at Axe's penthouse. Two scary-looking strangers stared at me sarcastically. They threatened me into standing in the corner of the elevator in fear. I could see them smiling wryly before I lost consciousness, and when I woke up. I realized my hands and feet were tied to a rusty blanket. The ceiling in this room also looked unkempt. Some dirt and worn colors on the walls indicated that I was in an abandoned building. Did Axe kidnap me to get here? Why?I was jolted from my empty thoughts when I heard the sound of several people approaching. My breath hitched in alarm when the door was violently kicked in, revealing several people with masks covering their faces. One of them lifted my chin roughly. His dark brown eyes stared vengefully at me."This is my luck. I've been waiting for this for a long time. Take my revenge to him!" That triumphant voice managed to confuse me. I didn't know where I was and who I
"Axe, watch out. Akh!" I shouted followed by a pain that gripped my stomach. I watched for a moment as Axe managed to dodge Gorson's bullets by using one of his opponents as a shield. Gorson was wrong if he thought Axe became weak when the man's weakness was hurt by him. On the contrary, it was that weakness that made Axe this tough. All of Gorson's masked troops were cut down by him. Only Gorson was left lying weak with a battered state by Axe and the haughty woman who had left this place when the chaos occurred.Axe limped over to me. Occasionally Axe's body seemed to stagger while holding his stomach. "It's alright. You'll be fine," he said weakly as he untied my hands and feet."I can do it myself," I said as Axe prepared to lift my body. He was already badly injured. There was no way I was letting him hold my weight anymore.But the moment I set foot on the floor. I felt a violent contraction in my stomach. Something seemed to flow from underneath my body. I looked down at my fe
"Can mom ask you something?" she asked in a stifled voice.Switching topics, I thought. But I nodded anyway, albeit hesitantly. Hoping it wasn't a difficult question I was about to receive."Who got you pregnant?"Boom! My head felt like it was scalded by mom's question. What should I tell her now? I can't possibly tell her the truth. She'll be disappointed, not only in me but also in Axe. Even to herself."I don't know, mom. I was raped, the guy just left me." I stare straight ahead. I don't know why the lie slipped perfectly from my lips."Are you sure, honey?" mom asked reassuringly. I nodded slowly. I think mom knew I was lying. But she just silently let the lie run its course. Maybe she realized I needed a break from the bad thoughts that haunted me."All right. Now you should rest. The doctor said you shouldn't be exhausted. You lost a lot of blood after-" As if realizing something Mom stopped and looked at me skeptically."After what? Is my baby okay, is it still there?" I asked
