Time continued to pass, and the deadline for Axel to complete the challenge was approaching. However, up until this point, Axel had been unsuccessful in bribing Daisy with money or material possessions. Axel never liked to experience failure. He had never tasted defeat before. Could it be that this time Axel would have to face all of that? No, Axel's reputation couldn't be tarnished like that. Axel couldn't accept the feeling of humiliation and being controlled by Rosa in the future. Finally, to avoid all of that, Axel came up with an idea. He would investigate Daisy's weaknesses and use them as leverage to manipulate her into complying with Axel's arrangements. This plan could be considered despicable, but for the sake of his own future and freedom, Axel would disregard everything as long as he achieved his goal.Axel's trusted assistant, John, confidently entered the room, holding a stack of papers containing information about Daisy."Boss, here's the latest report you requested," J

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind swept in, shaking the trash cans around them. The lid of the trash can was lifted and thrown off, creating a loud and menacing noise. Both Axel and Daisy jolted in fear, feeling as if all their escape efforts had been discovered.Terrified, they dared not make a sound, waiting for the worst to happen. Time passed slowly in the chaos of their minds. But as nothing unfolded, their anxiety began to diminish.Axel, more determined and courageous, decided to hold his breath and sit up straight. He tried to peek outside to assess whether it was safe. His eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for any signs of hidden danger.In that moment, as Axel's mind and body reached a peak of tension, an unforeseen incident took place. From the shadows, a wild cat emerged and leapt over his head. Its mischievous gaze and subtle noise nearly caused Axel to scream. Startled, Axel lost his balance and unintentionally exerted a strong impact on Daisy's leg. It was an unint

"Alright then, your hand is fine, which is a good thing." Axel said, his tone tinged with remorse and gratitude for Daisy's brave act of stepping in to protect him. Axel wanted to express his thanks to Daisy, but he was not accustomed to speaking such words. Therefore, he felt a bit awkward and unfamiliar. Nonetheless, Axel considered the fact that Daisy had helped him, and in turn, he had helped Daisy. It was seen as a fair exchange. He made this decision on his own without discussing it with Daisy."Overall, everything is fine," Daisy remarked. "Let's go home.""You're right," Axel agreed. "Let's go."With that, Axel decisively turned and walked away."Sure, goodbye," Daisy said, smiling and echoing his words.Suddenly, as Axel was walking, he stopped and turned back when he noticed Daisy still standing there, trying to figure something out. Unable to control his curiosity, he asked, "Why are you still standing there?"Daisy, caught off guard by Axel's voice, tried to remain calm an

"I'm in so much pain!" Daisy suddenly exclaimed as she felt an excruciating sensation in her leg. It wasn't too severe initially, but due to Axel's persistence, it had worsened. Daisy held on to her leg and burst into uncontrollable tears. Axel panicked, afraid that Daisy would attract attention from others, so he hurriedly tried to comfort her."Shh, don't cry. We don't want to get into trouble.""But it hurts so much," Daisy complained."I know you're in pain, but please bear with it a little longer," Axel pleaded in a soft tone."I've endured enough already!" Daisy snapped, continuously blaming Axel: "If you had let me go, none of this would have happened. It's all because of you.""It's indeed my fault," Axel admitted. "Now, can you try to endure it? Please, stop crying."As Axel spoke, Daisy cried even harder, sobbing uncontrollably."What happened to you all of a sudden? Why are you crying louder?" Axel asked in panic. He was truly in trouble if someone happened to pass by this

Carefully placing Daisy on the sofa, Axel asked, "Would you like something to drink?""I'm not thirsty." Daisy instinctively refused, hesitant to accept favors from a stranger."Are you hungry?" Axel continued."I'm not hungry," Daisy replied, avoiding direct eye contact with Axel.No sooner had Daisy spoken than her stomach growled loudly, causing her to feel embarrassed. At that moment, Axel was not interested in teasing Daisy."Wait for me; I'll prepare something for you after I take a shower," Axel declared, heading straight to his bedroom."No need to bother..." Daisy was about to finish her sentence when Axel disappeared from the living room.Left alone, Daisy sat still, afraid to move for fear of accidentally damaging any expensive furniture belonging to Axel. She could only observe her surroundings, marveling at Axel's wealth.After a while, Axel emerged in a fresh, pristine outfit with a towel draped around his neck."I've prepared hot water; you can take a shower," Axel said
