"Come, Bridgette! Don't think too much. About Gorson, I think is none of your business, I'll handle it. Now you get ready. We'll pick up Oracle and I'll have Edward pick up the DNA test results at the hospital."I snapped out of my reverie and found Axe already staring at me at this close range. "Or do you want me to give you a bath? I think that's a good idea," he whispered very close followed by a brief kiss on my earlobe."No need. I have arms and legs, I can bathe myself too." I quickly pushed Axe's body away. I don't want him to go overboard and touch me. It's still early and I don't want that to happen.I grunt, then move off the bed. My steps are definitely toward the bathroom. However, I'm only halfway there when my shriek is cut off by my body floating into the air. Axe suddenly carried me in his arms. Therefore, I could see his face from this close a distance.Axe's firm jaw lures me into petting him gently. Axe was indeed the definition of a miracle man. Everything he does

"Why are you talking like that?" Axe looked at me sharply, as if he didn't like what I said."It's the truth. If it wasn't for Rose, I would have ended my life when I found out I was pregnant because of you."I looked deeply into Axe's face. Instantly, guilt was embedded in his eyes. Axe seemed to be slapped by my words, which I admit sounded painful. Could it be that he realized that what he did back then really hurt me? I hoped so."Don't be rude to Rose anymore. She has no one but me and the Oracle. If you were upset at my referring to Rose as my sister-in-law, I apologize. Rose also expressed her apology to you. I'm sorry that she slapped you and accused you-" My sentence was cut off by Axe's sudden hug. I can feel his breath on the skin of my neck."I'm sorry I hurt you that much." Axe whispered very softly next to my ear. He shouldn't be apologizing to me."Apologize to Rose, for being so mean. Not to me."I hurt you a lot more, but I promise I'll apolo

"Do you want to go to the park by the lake, Bridgette?" I didn't realize we were already on the ground floor, probably because Axe kept talking to me until everything felt light."Are you taking me there?""Yes. If you want.""Of course.""Okay. Hold on tight."That was it. After that Axe managed to provoke a shriek out of my lips. How could he not, he ran towards the basement with my body still in his arms. If we both fell, what would happen?"Axe stop!" I tried to get Axe to put me down, but he was so ignorant that he didn't care how hard I tried to stop him. He was running fast enough that I was almost strangling his neck, afraid that my grip would slip."You're driving me crazy!"I looked at Axe who was taking a deep breath. His chest was rising and falling with air coming in and out simultaneously. Who told him not to listen to me, now he's paying the price."I don't want to be carried around like that next time." I folded my arms as I l

"You are so beautiful." A whisper accompanied by a pair of hands curled around my queen's stomach. I stared at the mirror that displayed the duplication of two humans there. The compliment had clearly come from Axe's lips. I could see his face resting on my shoulder, occasionally sniffing the skin of my neck to my own amusement."What are you here for, Axe? I'm not done yet," I said, pushing his head away. I wanted to put lipstick on my lips and that was interrupted by Axe's unruly behavior.Yes. That's right. Now we're back in Italy, settled back in the mansion we left about two weeks ago. It's still the same place, quiet and still-quiet but dark. Unlike Rose's apartment, which was filled with Oracle's mischievous voices.Oh.I miss him. Really....Can time be restarted? I want to turn things around. Maybe if Axe and I hadn't made the decision so quickly. Oracle wouldn't have stayed away from me. God! He's afraid to look at me because he thinks I want to keep him away from Rose. No, h

I quickly took off my heels that had been on since I was in the room. After that I opened the car door wide. My destination wasn't back inside the mansion, but the expanse of forest ahead.I knew the place was dark, considering the sun had been sinking at the end of the sky since three hours ago. But I had only two choices, go inside the mansion and end up in Axe's confinement or seek freedom despite having to overcome various obstacles.Don't ask me why I want to escape. My reasons are quite strong. First, I'm feeling frantic. Second, Axe dared to force me to do things beyond my logic. That is, if I continue to stay by his side. It's possible that the actions that will come from Axe will be more than what I'm currently receiving.I won't let that happen. I'd better get as far away as possible before another possibility that I didn't expect happened to me."Bridgette!"The harsh call from afar managed to provoke me to turn my head. Unfortunately, Axe wa
