"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

"How is the lady?"The faint sound of two people talking forced my eyes open. I blinked to neutralize the influx of light that was slowly blinding my vision. My head felt heavy remembering the remnants of the incident that took away my consciousness. Where am I now? Oh, still in the same place.Axe... What about him, is he safe?The questions in my head activated the motor system in my body. I spontaneously moved to change my position to sitting.The first thing I noticed was that Hema was near me, while Alessandro seemed to have just returned-I don't know from where, his appearance looked different from the last time he was with me. Wait, where are the freed prisoners? They don't seem to be in every corner of this glass room. Did Alessandro just take them away?"You're awake, Miss. How do you feel?"It was Hema's question that drew me to look at the man in surprise. There was relief in his green eyes. I don't know why he was so anxious, the look he gave

My gaze was straight, staring meaninglessly at several team-shaped people scattering to the various destroyed sides of the building. For almost two hours, they hadn't found Axe's whereabouts. I don't know if they searched all over the ruins or not. While the night was getting late, it would be difficult to search.There were a few things that made the team argue, one of which was the hand I found. Most of them were of the opinion that the rest of Axe's body was scattered, difficult to identify. But others, especially me, still believed there were pieces of Axe's body because of the explosion.They actually found two or three skeletons, belonging to other people. Hema said that some of Uncle Danial's bodyguards were on the third floor enjoying the party. Perhaps the skeletons belonged to them."We didn't find anything here."The team from camp A shouted, probably tired - working for nothing. As they said, there was nothing there. Not only that, the B team also said the same thing."Sor

Axelle's side....The heterochormic eyes coated in soft contact lenses stared intently at the side of the towering building before him. There were three floors, each one heavily guarded. It was also maze-like with winding paths and some dead ends. For someone who was unfamiliar, they might get lost in that place.Before entering, Axe had to make sure the guard at the front door was off guard so he could attack from behind. His feet stepped slowly. He craned his head slightly, looking for the most opportune time to cock the soundproof weapon in hand. Not just yet. The two guards there were still alertly smoking their cigars and puffing the smoke into the air. Axe would wait for one of them to enter, to attack the other. He didn't want to cause a stir on the outside. Attacking one by one was the right choice.As long as the action hadn't started yet. Axe should have thought his plan through. But all he did was twirl the ring on his ring finger. Mem

"I told you not to try to escape from me!" A cold voice and the clomping of someone's feet made me turn around. Arthur was seen grinning cruelly with his gaze drawn deep. He was completely different from anyone I had ever known. "I've given you a choice. Obey if you want me to be nice!" Arthur gripped my jaw so tightly that I looked up to stare into his dark beads. He changed after the unwanted wedding into a big battle. I knew he was a victim of Axe's game. But, did it have to be this way? "Why did you kidnap me all the way here?" I forced myself to stare at the man in camouflage. There was no meaningful answer from him. He just smiled crookedly bringing my face closer. "Let go, Arthur. I have a husband," I said, pushing quite hard on his face. "I should be your husband." Arthur smiled bitterly. There was so much hatred in his eyes. He was right. He should have... He should have been my husband. But fat
