"I'm asking you, Bridgette," he repeated, this time with a sharp look at me. I don't know, it was only with that piercing gaze that I couldn't help myself and immediately took a step, ran a little, then hugged his body tightly once there was no distance separating us.Maybe I threw myself so hard that Axe's body jerked backward in his completely unprepared state, but I didn't care ... even without him returning my hug, at least until this moment I could touch his body."What's going on?" asked Axe, getting provoked by my strange behavior. However, I ignored his question, still too busy inhaling the scent of Axe's body that I might miss."Bridgette!" Axe stomped over to my body, keeping me away from him by holding both my arms tightly. Unfortunately, it had enough of an effect on the part I'd been warning him about that I unconsciously let out a squeal.Axe's eyes bulge in surprise, then he spontaneously releases me who is still focused on the pain in my left arm

"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 cl

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

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

"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
