"What's this, Ed?" I asked confused as the man came over to hand me a bag of groceries."Just look at it, Miss." I gave Edward a serious look then pulled out the object inside the grocery bag. A slightly glittering box made me look deeply at the man who was still faithfully standing beside me."At the hospital I told you that mister asked me to buy something for you. To replaced your two cell phones that you destroyed. I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to give them to you."I was silent as I listened to Edward's words. Why would Axe suddenly think of replacing my cell phone that was broken and thrown out the window that time. He was the first person to take that thing away from me, please add it to his list of sins if you like."Why did Axe change his mind?""I don't know, miss. Perhaps when mister is sober, you can ask him." I nodded in agreement. Edward was right. I could ask Axe directly when he regained consciousness."Then excuse me to return to mister company, Miss.""Take ca
"Where are you going, Axe?" I asked as I watched him lower his legs, preparing to stand up.Axe looked at me for a moment then walked slowly towards me who was still standing in the doorway. I was just about to visit him but he was already preparing to leave."I'm bored," he said as he brushed my hair lightly.Thankfully, Axe's condition was getting better after waking up from his coma. It took two days for him to recover from his weakened state, though now I can't say that he's well. Two days ago he literally just laid down in this medical room. He didn't talk much either, although sometimes I found him looking at me questioningly.I was actually quite surprised to see him standing tall in front of me. But it seemed like happiness dominated so much that I only gave him a smile."You need to rest.""I'm okay, Bridgette. You don't have to worry." Axe cupped my face with both hands. His eyes returned to staring at my lips intensely, the same as the first time h
I stared blankly at the door leaf of the room in front of me. After the incident at the park, I felt something had changed about Axe. He became more quiet than usual. Sometimes I'd see him daydreaming, so lost in his own thoughts. During breakfast and dinner, Axe would often play with the food on his plate instead of eating it. He was thinking too much about the events that had passed. I was afraid he'd blame himself again and do something he shouldn't do. I sighed heavily. It seemed like my duties were increasing. I have to keep a close eye on Axe and pay attention to his health. The loss he experienced made him neglect to take care of himself."Axe, can I come in?" I knocked lightly on the door. This wasn't his room, let alone mine. Do you remember the room Axe remodeled last time? Yes. After his work was done. Axe immediately locked himself in that room."Axe?" I called again. I sighed again. There was no answer from him yet. It made me think negatively, lest he do something like
My breath hitched as I recalled the events of that night. It seemed like my subtle rejection had an unpleasant effect on his heart. Whenever I tried to get close to Axe, he always avoided me. I could tell he was back in a prolonged bad mood. His time was always spent working, leaving early in the morning and returning late at night. The cycle was like that for two days. I didn't even get a chance to greet him with 'good morning or good night' 'have you eaten or not'. Even on his day off yesterday, he was busy in his office all day. Didn't he realize his attitude made me feel bad."Miss, the master asks you to the backyard."I was jolted by Edward's heavy voice coming from behind. I immediately turned my head, and sure enough-Edward was already standing there."What for, Ed?" I asked curiously. Didn't Axe not want to talk to me?"Just come along, Miss."I rolled my eyes lazily. I hope Axe doesn't do anything crazy.***I walked one step behind Edward. The man led me to the garden that
I blinked at the fact that I'd been asleep for three hours. I should have been able to stay awake for the next two hours. I should have met Axe an hour ago like Edward said. Unfortunately, sleepiness could not be negotiated with. I just fell asleep after returning to the room. Tired. That's how I felt after leaving the garden full of heartbreaking scenes.I pulled back the blanket that covered almost my entire body, so eager to see him. I wanted to make sure that Axe was still controlled by what I said a few days ago. I was afraid he'd hurt himself again like he had."Sir is not inside, Miss." The familiar heavy voice managed to distract me. Edward was standing not far from Axe's room. Perhaps he knew that I would meet his master here."Where is he?"I tried to neutralize my heart that was beating violently after hearing Edward's statement. If Axe wasn't in his room, then where was he?"Master is in the practice room, Miss."I breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, the practice room sound
"What's wrong with that? Are you jealous?" I suddenly looked at Axe in horror after hearing his last two words.I'm jealous?Is that true?I just felt my heart tearing a little when I sae syalasa teasing Axe with her foot. My mind kept repeating a rather odd phrase, what if Axe was tempted by her? Thankfully, at that time Axe refused by stepping back a little. So that my somewhat heated feelings could be controlled."Look at me." Axe pulled my face upright towards him. Our gazes met again, making me quite nervous. Instead of what. My heart was hammering inside. What if Axe could hear it?"I've never touched any woman. Only you. You own me for the first time too."I stared at Axe in disbelief. What did he mean by talking to me like that. Did he really think I was jealous? It couldn't be. I tried to deny the truth. Maybe it's true. It looks like I am jealous."Look, Axe. I'm not jealous. You're wrong to think so. I'm just curious. That's natural, right?" I lied."Now tell me how you k
I blinked at the slight movement beside me, and when my eyes opened. The first thing I saw was a handsome face that looked innocent asleep. There was a small purr from Axe's slightly parted lips. For whatever reason, he was both sexy and adorable in this state. Moreover, his silky brown hair was starting to extend almost to his eyes. Smiling slightly, I adjust his hair upwards. Now his forehead was clearly visible without interference. I cleared my throat as I realized the cloth compress on his forehead had fallen to the side. Maybe Axe moved last night so it didn't stay there for long."Have you had your fill of looking at me?" he asked in an increasingly hoarse and deep voice typical of waking up."I have," I replied feeling a tinge of red appear on my cheeks."Thank you." Axe looked at me deeply. Soon a smile was etched on his face along with dimples on the left and right sides."Do you feel better?""Yes. Better than ever."Axe pulled me in and scooped my body into his arms."Are
My eyes rounded fully at the monitor screen that displayed information about the news of Syalasa's death in the apartment building, the girl allegedly committed suicide because she was frustrated by the negative rumors of her father who was involved in an illicit scandal with a woman of the night.My breath hitched harshly at the thought that this was not the case. The girl had clearly died at the hands of Axe. But the media was spreading fake news. Or, wait for it. Was the fake news a conspiracy to get Axe off the hook?"No quality!"The TV monitor screen turned off completely with the remote slammed in any direction. I could see Axe standing there looking at me disapprovingly. Is he done with his business? That rhetorical question was clearly unnecessary."What are you doing with Syalasa's body?"The word you guys is definitely related to Axe and Edward. Especially since Edward was the last person I saw taking care of Syalasa's body."It's just a small thing." Axe still gave me a sh
