My gaze never left Axe since 15 minutes passed after he consumed his mother's milk. His behavior was suddenly strange with the occasional unreadable look thrown at me.
I tried not to be affected by anything. But the sudden movement of Axe stepping into the bathroom made me end up following him. He was confusing and it was enough to worry me.Somewhat incredulously I find Axe allowing himself to be showered again. This time he's standing with his hands repeatedly brushing his hair back.God, Axe. He completely forgot that his body was still warm. Even though his fever had been gone for three days."What are you doing, Axe?" I asked, unable to stand watching him enjoy the water splashing on his body."Go away, Bridgette. You'll torture me by being here," Axe replied this time with his head down.What did Axe mean about me being here? I just stood there, not doing anything that could harm him and potentially hurt him."You're confusing me. I don't want to goMy breath hitched repeatedly as I looked at myself in the mirror. Everything was prepared, it was just a matter of leaving. Afterward, I can ask the doctor what exactly happened. Why I was bleeding after having sex with Axe."Are you sure you want to go to the hospital?"A deep, husky voice and a pair of hands wrapped around my waist made me stare in our clingy position.Axe's question was strange. He had offered to go to the hospital himself, but now he was hesitating. I quickly gave Axe a nod in response. Besides being curious, I wanted to confirm the condition of my child as well. How old was it in my womb? I hadn't had a check-up since I was pregnant."I'm sure," I replied quietly.There was a sigh from Axe before he answered me calmly. "Abort. I think I'm being too harsh to be like this.""No, you're not. I'm still going to sign." I didn't believe Axe's words. He's not a doctor. He could be wrong too."Suit yourself. Now let's go. The car is rea
"Where are we going, Axe?" I asked, surprised to see him dress me up like a wonder woman in a tight all-black outfit, for the inside. The outside of my body is covered in a fiery red dress, where the fabric legs dangle down."Party. Witnessing your uncle's destruction."My uncle's destruction...He doesn't bear the name Xandersis, does he?Should I do it? Of course I should. For now I was on Axe's side. It wasn't easy for me to watch my husband go through such a difficult time, he was physically and mentally hurt by that depraved man. Thank God Axe didn't contract venereal disease, which maybe—God forbid - one of them did.Yes. Earlier, just before nightfall. Mr. O'Connor brought in a doctor to examine Axe's body in detail. Although he had refused, Axe finally agreed to be reviewed. Based on the results of the post-mortem on Axe's body-the part where he was s*domized, there were abrasions that were almost dry. Axe complained to me that he didn't like his fat
"Turn around, Bridgette."Ah, me?Turn around for what?I'm sure Axe recognized my confusion to chuckle impatiently and immediately pulled me around his body. Our positions change with me turning my back to Axe.I feel a feather-light kiss on my shoulder for a moment, before a white gold necklace with a sapphire gem is perfectly clasped around my neck. What's wrong, why would Axe suddenly give me a necklace full of sparkles in a situation like this."It will keep you safe. I don't know where the bracelet I gave you a few weeks ago went. Did you throw it away or eat it?" Axe asked, bringing me back until our bodies were facing each other.God! I just realized that the bracelet he gave me is no longer in my hand. I never once took it off during our separation. Where did it go? "Never mind. Forget it. You don't have to think about your bracelet anymore. But promise me to keep this one," Axe said as he touched the sparkling blue stone that was currently arou
However, it wasn't long before my questioning ended. The lights in the building suddenly went out, leaving only the monitors still on. The atmosphere, which had been quite peaceful, was suddenly noisy with the protests of the guests.Even more surprising. The sound of the sound system boomed, startling almost everyone. After a while, the video documenting Uncle Danial's kindness instantly changed to show his depraved behavior.There were many sad events that the cruel man had inflicted on others. Don't ask how the victims look. In the video, most of their bodies are censored, probably for privacy."This-this is not true. You can't just believe it. I can't be that bad."On stage Uncle Danial began his defense. The tone of fear behind his voice was so clear. I thought a man like him would never feel threatened, but now his attitude was like a chick losing its mother."The person who did this must have wanted to slander me."Playing victim!What was shown on
I'm suddenly dazed by Axe's words. Even I can't help but stare straight ahead wondering if this is why he asked me to wear a tight black dress."You think too much."Axe's voice sounded close and as soon as I blinked, he was already in front. Our faces are barely separated as Axe is busy unbuckling the seatbelt on my body. If only he knew that almost half of the oxygen around me was being inhaled by him. I barely breathe seeing Axe's face, even though he's already my husband. But still the throbbing for him never went away."What are you thinking? Now take off your clothes," he said after giving me a quick peck on the lips.I sighed as Axe wanted me to. His gaze was unexpected as he saw the dress completely undone revealing the clothes I had described. I could feel Axe's quick movements opening his leather jacket. Then without saying anything he put it on me. "What will you wear if you let me wear yours.""It's okay. I'm much more comfortable having your bod
"Wait for me here. Ale will take care of you," Axe said with a gesture of loading ammunition into the gun in his hand.Just looking at him holding a gun made my brain ache, imagining what Axe would do. He parked his car on the edge of the forest. Then he hurriedly led me along the path, quite a distance-about 100 meters from our first step.I wondered where Axe was taking me, only to find Alessandro inside a large glass box with a lot of gear around the man and bright lights for illumination."You told me to stay here, so where are you going?""In there," he replied still busy preparing himself, as if he was a war soldier about to go on duty."I want to come with you!"My eyes alternately gazed at Axe's body, which was now complete with several weapons under his white T-shirt, and the large building that was alone in the forest-along with the lights. What will he do when he goes inside there?"You can't."Axe walked over to erase the distance between us once he was done. His big hand
"Don't think too much. I'll just be a moment, freeing some of Gorson's prisoners. After that, it's over," Axe explained as he put on a black strappy necklace with the same pendant as mine, a sapphire gem whose luster was a feast for the eyes."Why didn't Ale go?" I also wanted to ask about the necklace currently around his neck. However, the current situation was not favorable."I'm the only one who knows the ins and outs of that place.""But Hema?""Using GPS 10 meters away from me.""I still won't let you go!"I shook my head as I pulled on his hand. But Axe, he moved to free himself first."I don't want to argue with you for too long, Bridgette.""Don't overdo it. I told you, I'll be fine."Axe again erased the distance between us. He stepped up to place a light peck on my forehead."Give me the keys, Ale," he said after pulling away.Axe looked at Alessandro with a gaze I couldn't read, as if he was speaking through the language of the
"Where is the young master, Ale?" Hema's voice could faintly be heard from outside. The square glass box was almost soundproof. Even if I hadn't raised my head after seeing the shadow of someone's footprints, I probably wouldn't have noticed Hema's presence after a few minutes of Axe's departure.Hema seemed to be preparing by rechecking some of the weapons on his body.There it was!A key, exactly the same as the one Axe had requested from Alessandro earlier, was on the head of Hema's pants, hanging on the right side.This is a great opportunity for me to get out and go after Axe. It's useless for him to dress me up like a tough woman if I end up being treated like an onion. I wanted to know how he was doing now. How far he's traveled. Is he still safe? I hope so."Open the door!" I called as I knocked repeatedly on the glass wall.Alessandro was hopeless, maybe Hema would help me. "Open the door, Hem!"I could see Hema glancing at Alessandro a
