New Life
"Thank you, Hem," I said as I smiled warmly at Mr. O'Connor's subordinate, Hema, who was in charge of driving me here.
Earlier, before we got here, I had asked him to accompany me to shop for some essentials. Obviously I needed a change of clothes and an evening snack, my stomach had been very hungry since the two or three hour journey.Not to forget, I bought a new cell phone for other needs. Really, it felt bad to use the platinum card Mr. O'Connor had given me, but I had no other choice. Later, after I get a job here, I'll reimburse him for all the money I've used."With my pleasure, Miss. Everything has been prepared, you just need to rest, hope you feel at home here," Hema replied kindly as he unbuckled his seatbelt. I knew what he was going to do."No need, Hem. I can do it myself," I said quickly before Hema could do it.I casually opened the car door and carried my body out onto the perfectly cut grass. My breath came in ragged gasps as I noticed the clRelated chapters
Brother Luck(not) First Day
'Now the young master is doing well, Miss'I sighed at Hema's ambiguous reply. Now? He means yesterday Axe was in a bad state, is that it?'What was wrong with Axe before, Hem?'I quickly typed my question, then pressed the send button. My fingers tapped my chin as I waited for Hema's reply, even though it hadn't been a minute since I sent the man a message.'Did Axe hurt himself?"I sent Hema another message expressing my suspicion and it turned out that what I had been afraid of happened. Hema's reply sparked anxiety that made guilt gnaw at my chest.Axe had injured himself to such a degree that he needed a blood donor. Earlier, a message from Hema said Axe had had an argument with his father. Axe wasn't stupid and could definitely guess who the person who took me away was, he suspected the right person.Unfortunately in the middle of their argument, Axe suddenly ended the endless argument by leaving Mr. O'Connor who was also fiery in the face of Axe's stubbornness.But what makes m
Brother Luck(not) Another Unexpected Fact
It's been a week since I've been here, but it doesn't make me feel calm every time I think about how Axe is doing today. Hema still sends me news about him sometimes, but for some reason I can't help but feel that something hasn't happened to Axe. I think Hema was pressured by Mr. O'Connor not to tell me the details of Axe's condition, so I had to guess and ended up having a headache myself.Actually, I've had a headache for the past few days, probably worrying too much about Axe and missing out on a good night's sleep while missing him. I can't stand being separated from him this long, the desire to meet him seems unstoppable. Oh, I'll talk to Mr. O'Connor about letting me see Axe again.Now I'd better fill my empty, struggling stomach. Alicia must be in the kitchen preparing breakfast for me, I should catch up with her. However, I've only just set foot in the kitchen. I had to be rewarded with the nauseous feeling of smelling the onion aroma emanating from Alicia's cooking on the s
Brother Luck(not) Another Unexpected Fact2
I had to move!I quickly wiped my face and got up from my sitting position. Standing still without doing anything was a detrimental choice. After all, it was already done, I just needed to carry on and take good care of God's gift to me."How did it go, Bridgette?" I hadn't even taken a step out of the bathroom, but Alicia was first to pepper me with questions.I smiled warmly, doing my best to hide the sad look that was still on my face. Alicia couldn't see my unpleasant expression, I didn't want to worry her. Yes, don't forget we had only known each other for a week. "I'm pregnant."Alicia's response was unexpected. She squealed with excitement and hugged me tightly. Oh my goodness. Who's actually pregnant here?"Congratulations, Bridgette! You're going to be a mom," she said excitedly with a happy smile after separating herself from me."I've been a mom before," I replied until Alicia's eyes bulged in disbelief."Really? I can hardly believe it, y
Brother Luck(not) Complicated
My sentence was cut off by a loud knock from outside. I immediately turned my head to the source of the sound with a horror-struck gaze.My heart pounded at the thought that I was alone at home. Alicia had only left a few hours ago to go shopping for kitchen supplies. She had invited me, but I chose to stay because I felt lazy. My eyes grew wide as I realized something.Who was the person outside?Is it Axe? Hema and I had just discussed it, in other words, he was most likely the one who was knocking on the door rudely - seemingly impatiently.Should I open the door now? What if Axe blows up at me or worse punishes me for leaving that guy. Oh, I don't want to risk making him even angrier. I'd better open the door for him.My hand moved quickly to turn the lock, then pushed the knob down and the door leaf that was the barrier between me and the outside world opened quite wide.Somewhat unexpectedly I saw a figure standing stiffly with an unreadable cold g
Brother Luck(not) His Scar
"Why are you here?" he asked still inching away from me, as if I was the evil woman who had just hurt him."Go away, Bridgette!" he continued in almost a whisper.Oh, what had I done... he was avoiding me as much as he was avoiding everyone else."Don't come any closer. What are you here for if you left me yesterday?"Axe's wounded gaze really hurt my feelings. How pathetic was Axe as long as I wasn't beside him? I really felt like a cruel woman who had hurt his feelings."I told you not to come any closer," he exclaimed still trying to get away from me.God! What happened to Axe exactly? Why did he look scared every time I tried to grab his hand."Axe...""Go away, Bridgette," Axe's voice sounded so painful that I wanted to turn my ears off. Not letting up, his hand pushes me so roughly that I recoil backwards slightly with both hands reflexively holding myself up. It's a good thing I didn't get hit hard, otherwise my fetus could have been in danger.But... the most important thing r

"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
