A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard Chapter 8: A Dog or a Wolf
The drive back to the Vincenzo mansion was filled with an unsettling silence. Axe's grip on the steering wheel was tight, his bloody knuckles getting pointy as his mind continued to replay the events of the evening. The car seemed to glide through the empty streets, the city lights passing by in a blur, but Axe's focus remained solely on the road ahead. As they reached the grand gates of the mansion, Axe glanced at the three women in the backseat through the rearview mirror. Ember, her usually vibrant green eyes now clouded with worry, stared out the window with a cold expression. Mrs. Vincenzo, her face pale and lips pressed into a thin line, clutched her daughters' hands tightly. And then there was Leia, her stormy hazel eyes filled with unshed tears, her jaw set in a firm line. Minutes later, once they entered the mansion, Axe escorted the women inside, his protective instincts on high alert. for almost an hour, Axe personally made sure every room was checked, every window sec

The atmosphere in the club shifted as Azrael's cruel command hung in the air. The surrounding customers glanced over, their curiosity piqued by the tension that crackled between the two men. Some employees, who were familiar with Azrael's reputation, exchanged worried glances. They knew better than to interfere, but concern etched deep lines on their faces.The waitress, trembling with a sense of fear and defiance, stood her ground. With a quivering voice, she responded, "I-I can't do that, sir. It would be inhumane. It's not right to treat someone like that."Scoffing, Azrael's eyes narrowed, his anger simmering just beneath the surface. In one swift motion, he raised his hand and delivered a resounding slap across the waitress's cheek. The force of the blow caused the delicate glass to slip from her grasp, the bubbling liquid cascading onto the table and floor as she cowered from the impact, tears welling up in her eyes as pain radiated through her cheek."Bitch!" Azrael spat, hi

Time seemed to slow, stretching each passing second into an eternity as Axe's words reverberated through the room, sinking into the marrow of every bone.Darting his gaze, Azrael's eyes flickered with a desperate plea, as the broken wine bottle pressed even tighter against his throat, the sharp glass biting into his skin, threatening to slice open his jugular with even the slightest movement. Blood trickled down his neck, staining his crisp white collar, as his every breath became a precarious dance between life and death.Around them, the club's customers stood frozen, their wide eyes reflected a mixture of fear, awe, and unsettling excitement.The silence shattered as one of the thugs, emboldened by the growing numbers, stepped forward, and his voice trembled. "You don't scare us. You are just one man."As His grip on Azrael's hair tightened, eliciting a choked gasp from him, Axe's lips curled into a chilling smile, and whispered, "Oh, my friend, you greatly underestimate the wrath

Suddenly, Leia turned her back to the door and said, "Sorry... I am leaving."As she took a step to walk away, Axe grabbed her wrist, his grip tight but gentle. When she turned to look at him, her eyes filled with frustration and hurt, he let out a heavy sigh.Without a word, he led her into the house, his grip on her wrist never loosening. They walked past Mia, who watched them with wide eyes, her towel wrapped tightly around her trembling form. Not looking back, Axe guided Leia upstairs, his footsteps echoing, until they reached his bedroom, and he led her inside, then shut the door behind them.The room was dimly lit, the soft glow of the bedside lamp casting shadows on the walls. The air was heavy with tension, suffocating both Axe and Leia as they stood facing each other, their emotions threatening to spill over."Do you know what time it is?!" Axe lashed out, as he ran his fingers through his already disheveled hair, frustration evident on his face."I called you, and you didn'

Stepping out of his pickup, wearing a white shirt and black pants, no belt, and black shoes without socks, Axe shoved his hands into his pocket, staring up at the skyscraper, that raised at 2,073 ft. He sighed and walked over, entering the building of SpiritsHaven, once he walked into the lobby, he was heading for the elevator as two beautiful girls stood by, watching him. Seeing how Hannah was staring at him, Natalie chuckled and said, "Hey, you have been rubbernecking at him since you started working here. Why don't you talk to him?" "I am not looking at him," Hannah whispered, her eyes glued on Axe. "You liar. Yes, you are." "No... I am..." Silence settled between them, and then Natalie said, "Why don't you go and ask him out? The worst he can say is 'No." "It's not like that," Hannah whispered. When Natalie raised a brow, she sighed and then said, "Fine. I will go talk to him." Tightening her fist, she marched over to Axe, and just then, he was about to walk into the eleva

Suddenly, the liquor faded from Jasper's eyes, his gaze darkening as he said, "Kaine... Iron Talons' leader."A shudder ran down Axe's spine, the name triggering a flood of memories and a surge of tension. Iron Talons, the notorious criminal syndicate that had plagued the city for years, was a name spoken in hushed whispers. They operated in the shadows, their influence stretching far and wide, their actions leaving a trail of blood and destruction in their wake."Singing my praises already," Kaine mocked, his voice laced with a sinister edge."The fuck I am, you dirty rat!" Jasper lashed out as his fists clenched at his sides."Hmm... That's not a very nice thing to say, Mr. Larkwood," Kaine drawled, a twisted smile playing on his lips.Scowling, Axe tore his gaze away from Kaine and locked eyes with Jasper, concern etched on his face. "You two have dealings?"Hesitating, Jasper's eyes flickered with a mix of anger and regret as he nodded slowly, saying, "My father... He got involved

The stare-off between Axe and Kaine seemed to stretch on, their eyes locked on each other. The air crackled with tension, the stillness broken only by the sound of heavy breaths escaping their lips. And then, in the blink of an eye, Kaine's face contorted with a mixture of desperation and rage.Summoning the last ounce of strength within him, Kaine's hand darted to the back of his pants, fingers closing around the cold handle of a gleaming knife. With a guttural growl, he lunged towards Axe, his movements fueled by a surge of adrenaline.Time seemed to slow down once again as the knife gleamed in the pale moonlight, and Axe's senses heightened, his mind processing every detail in rapid succession. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest, each beat thundering through his veins, as his body prepared to face this new threat.Reacting with a lightning-fast reflex, Axe instinctively twisted his body to the side, narrowly evading Kaine's lethal strike. The knife sliced through the air

In the midst of the silence, Mr. Larkwood's face grew pale, the lines etched on his weathered features deepening with worry. His gaze darted from side to side as if searching for an escape from the truth that threatened to engulf him."It's Jasper's brother." He finally confessed, and his Adam's apple bobbed in a swift motion as he swallowed hard, his lips parting as he tried to say something, but the words died in his throat, and his gaze hardened, and he glared at Axe. Frowning at Mr. Larkwood, Axe hesitated for a moment and then said, "But Jasper is an only child-""Was." Mr. Larkwood interrupted firmly, clenching his jaw.That left Axe speechless for a short moment, his gaze drifting away momentarily as if lost in thought. But then, his brow furrowed as a dark frown appeared on his face."What do you mean was? I know your wife, and Jasper is the only child she has born for you." Axe replied sternly."I may have wandered off a little." Mr. Larkwood murmured, his gaze still train

The thundering pulse of the music seemed to falter, the pounding beats muffled as the group of men rushed past Axe and Katriona, their heavy footfalls fading into the racket of the club. But still, Katriona clung to Axe like a lifeline, her slender frame trembling against his sturdy form.As the men disappeared into the shadowy depths of the club, a tense silence settled over the dance floor, broken only by the echo of their hurried steps. The air crackled with tension, a sense of foreboding hanging thick like a fog around them.Feeling her move against him, Axe's gaze flickered towards Katriona, his expression a mask of concern and tiredness. In the dim, pulsating lights of the club, her tear-streaked face was a portrait of fear and vulnerability, her eyes wide and glistening with unshed tears.“They are gone,” Axe murmured, his voice a low rumble. “You should let go.”Immediately, she stepped back, breaking free from him and running her fingers through her hair in an attempt to re
A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard Unwinding Frustration
Axe stormed out of the hotel lobby, his frustration boiling beneath the surface. He yanked off his coat, tossed it onto the backseat of his sleek black car, and rolled up his sleeves, exposing the intricate tattoos adorning his skin.Sliding into the driver's seat, he slammed the door shut and started the engine with a growl. The car roared to life, mirroring Axe's turbulent emotions as he navigated the bustling streets towards the dimly lit district where the city's most notorious clubs thrived.The neon lights of the club district flickered like distant stars in the night sky, drawing Axe closer with their promise of temporary escape. He craved the pulsing beat of the music, the swirling haze of cigarette smoke, and the intoxicating burn of alcohol sliding down his throat.Parking his car in a shadowy alley, Axe stepped out onto the pavement, his boots echoing against the pavement as he made his way towards the nearest club. The rhythmic thumping of bass reverberated through his che
A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard Putting it down
A small smirk crossed Axe's lips at Sam's words, and then, ignoring Sam's pain, he said, “I'd like to see you try to mess with me.”The look in Axe's eye sent shivers running down Sam’s spine. With a loud, pained yell, “Are you challenging the Steele... You are just a watchdog for the Vincenzo, but I am the son of Steele. Do you get it!”Laughing with tears spilling from his eyes, Sam screamed, “I am-”“A jackass.” Axe finished for him. “I am well aware, asshole... I do respect the Steele family, so I will let you off with just a broken finger... The next time-”“You will do what?! What do you think you can do to me-”“I will break a promise I made to an old crock...”“What?!”The sound of someone clearing their throat made Axe, Sam, and Leia look to their right, and standing there was Don Vincenzo.“Father, what are you doing here?” Leia asked, rushing away from the two men to meet him.Suddenly, Axe let go of Sam's hand and locked eyes with Mr. Vincenzo, rage glowing from his entir
A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard More ways then one
Shutting his eyes for a second, Axe tried to control his breathing, taking deep breaths through his nose, before nodding slowly. He opened his eyes, looking straight ahead. “Yeah. Yeah. Right.” His grip on her waist tightened slightly as he led her away, his eyes focused firmly on the floor. The two security guards looked close behind them, and then one replied, “We should call the boss.”The second guard, who also had a long ponytail, nodded. “Yeah, good idea.” He fumbled in his pocket, bringing out a comlink, which he pressed to his ear. A few seconds later, he spoke. “Boss... she's here.”The silence between Leia and Axe lasted for several seconds before Leia cleared her throat nervously. “Uh, Axe? Are you ok? You look kinda pale. Maybe we should have just gone somewhere else. We can go back if you want—”“So... The Steele... That's new... Not shocking though... They are right up your parents alley... Rich, powerful. What a family, huh?” Axe mumbled distractedly, seeming to be l

As Axe drove Leia to the party, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in her stomach. Finally, unable to contain it any longer, she turned to Axe, her voice tinged with frustration. “You know, if you’re going to play the part of my pretend boyfriend tonight, you should really act like it. There’s this guy who just won’t leave me alone, and it’s getting really annoying.”Axe glanced at her, a chuckle escaping his lips. “What’s so funny?” Leia asked, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion.He shook his head, his expression turning serious. “Nothing, it’s just… Who’s this guy?” His tone was firm, his eyes searching hers for answers.Lowering her lids with a pout, Leia sighed, her frustration evident. “His name’s... Ah... He's so freaking cocky... He’s been pestering me since the entire business ordeal... asking me out on dates and just being… persistent.”Axe’s grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, his jaw clenching. “I see,” he murmured.When his jaws clutc
A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard the night
The next morning, the sound of footsteps echoed through the living room, disrupting Axe's peaceful slumber. Slowly opening his eyes, he found Leia standing in front of him, her small feet clad in pink fluffy socks. A tray filled with toast, jam, and fresh fruit juice rested in her hands. "Good morning," she said as brightly as could be expected for seven o’clock in the morning. Her smile was radiant as she approached him. "A thank you gift," she said, placing the tray on the coffee table.With a yawn, he sat up and took hold of the plate, pulling it toward him. He took a bite of the bread before reaching to grab some jam and arched an eyebrow in curiosity. "For what?""Hmm... For letting me stay the night and not making a fuss about it." Leia plopped down beside him, leaning over to steal half of his toast. She then took several bites of it. She then proceeded to take another bite and give him the thumbs up. "Which means we're good, right?"Leia looked at him expectantly. The ques
A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard Run!!
For the longest, Leia's words hung in the air, a tense silence settling between them as Axe processed her unexpected request. His brow furrowed in confusion, his mind struggling to make sense of her sudden boldness. Her question rang loud and clear though, an innocent yet dangerous invitation that he could not deny. His mouth opened, his throat beginning to tighten as he stared at her in complete astonishment. Then his brows furrowed once more, a sense of doubt and caution stirring within him."Leia, I don't think...I don't-" His words caught in his throat, refusing to form coherent sentences as he struggled to find the right words to say to her. But instead of interrupting him or trying to talk her way out of this situation, Leia remained silent, her stare remaining fixed on Axe. Her lips quirked into a small smile, and she gave a short laugh. But he knew she was nervous too, her hands twisting together and gripping the edges of her skirt as she stared at him expectantly."Leia, you
A Rise to power: Chairman Blade Useless Bodyguard A dangerous request
Staring hard at his phone screen, Axe's fingers trembled slightly as he pressed the answer button on his phone, bringing it up to his ear. The voice on the other side was low, filled with a sense of urgency that instantly caught his attention."Hello, Axe. I trust you're well?" The voice on the other end of the line was deep and carried an air of authority.As he stepped away from the father and son, Axe's grip on the phone tightened as he replied, "Yes, Master. What's the matter?""I have a task for you. Something that requires your immediate attention," Don Vincenzo's voice commanded attention, and Axe's brow furrowed in curiosity."Of course, Master. What do you need?" Axe asked, his eyes narrowing slightly."I cannot discuss it over the phone. Meet me at the Vincenzo Mansion. There's something I need to tell you in person," Don Vincenzo's tone was cryptic, leaving Axe with a sense of unease."Understood, Master. I'll be there soon," Axe replied, a sense of urgency creeping into hi
