The dazzling lights of the wine bar illuminated the space, creating a warm and surreal atmosphere. Axel's group of friends had gathered here as a familiar scene in their lives. Rosa, Zane, Dion, and Tom sat around a table, chatting with excitement and anticipation. In the lively ambiance, Dion couldn't contain his emotions any longer."Tomorrow is the deadline for the bet between Axel and Rosa. Axel's struggle and his challenge are finally coming to an end. I can't believe it's time for us to decide who the winner is. Time really flies."Tom nodded, his eyes shining with interest."That's right! Axel has worked hard to achieve his goal. I hope he overcomes this challenge."Hearing Tom's support for Axel, Rosa felt unhappy deep down. A frown unconsciously appeared on her face, revealing her resentment. Rosa fervently hoped that Axel would lose."It's also possible that Axel will lose," Rosa said, her tone confident. "With what Axel has done, the results can easily be seen."Tom observe
"Come on, everyone, let's raise our glasses to celebrate Axel's victory," Tom said, breaking the tense atmosphere. He excitedly initiated it and raised his glass first."Thank you, my friend. I appreciate your congratulations," Axel happily replied, clinking glasses with Tom."Congratulations, Axel," Dion chimed in, not wanting to miss out on the memorable moment and deciding to participate."Thank you." Axel turned to Dion and smiled lightly.Seeing everyone looking at him, Zane reluctantly joined in, not wanting to be seen as having personal animosity towards Axel."Drink the glass!" Dion exclaimed cheerfully."I won't acknowledge this victory until I confirm it for myself," Rosa interjected, angrily declaring her stance.Faced with Rosa's opposition, the congratulations were put on hold. All eyes turned towards Rosa."Axel, let me tell you, no matter what tricks you're playing, I will expose your deceit," Rosa revealed, arrogant in her words."Do whatever you like. In any case, the
After a moment of stillness, Axel suddenly woke up. He stepped away from the door and took a step back. The thoughts in Axel's mind began to drift far away.Suddenly, he had a suspicion: why did Daisy always dress modestly, even wearing multiple layers of clothing? Was it all just a disguise, hiding her balanced and alluring figure? What could be the reason behind Daisy's actions? Axel felt an intense curiosity creeping in. He had never imagined that Daisy could have so many mysteries. He wondered if she had another amazing secret.Returning to what Axel had accidentally witnessed, although he had glimpsed a seductive part of Daisy's body, he had no intention of exposing her secrets. He had no blind desire for lust. Axel realized that he needed to act and think correctly to avoid unforeseen consequences. Instead, he admired Daisy's natural beauty, and within him, he held respect and appreciation for her.Afterward, Axel understood that Daisy needed personal space and time to change he
"Today is a wonderful day, thanks to the greatest love of my life. I will love you forever."Axel just posted a blissful and loving status on his social media account a few minutes ago. The post is accompanied by two emotional photos of Daisy and him. In the first photo, they sit close together, with Daisy snuggled into Axel's chest. He hugged her tightly, creating a lovely and warm scene. In the second picture, Daisy gently kisses Axel on the lips, and happiness is evident on both of their faces.The post received many interactions but no comments. The reason is that Axel disabled the comment section, knowing that people's reactions could be diverse and sometimes extreme. This led him to make a decision to protect Daisy from any offensive or hurtful remarks that could occur. He wanted to keep everything peaceful and not create any trouble for Daisy.Axel's post quickly drew the attention and interest of his group of friends. Everyone was surprised by Axel's boldness and seriousness.
G&A Fashion Store was bustling in the afternoon, and the jingling of the doorbell created a welcoming sound for the customers. Axel skillfully parked the car in an empty spot in the parking lot, turned off the engine, and unfastened his seatbelt. "We've arrived," Axel informed Daisy, who seemed to be losing focus. Reminded by Axel, Daisy finally looked outside the car window and unintentionally saw something that astonished her. To make sure her deduction was correct, Daisy asked Axel in confusion. "Why did you bring me to this area, Axel?" "To go shopping," Axel replied nonchalantly. Instantly, Daisy scans the surroundings, looking forwards and backwards, looking across the street, and even leaning out of the window to observe more clearly. "What are you doing, Daisy?" Perceiving Daisy's strange expressions and actions, Axel asked curiously. Looking back at Axel, Daisy's eyes showed extreme perplexity. "Wait, don't tell me we're going into that clothing store over there." Daisy
Before Lily's impulsive action, Daisy tried to remain calm and figure out what was happening."Stop," Daisy firmly requested as Lily forcefully pulled her hand. "What are you doing? Why are you pulling my hand?"Lily ignored Daisy's question, making her angry. "Is this how you treat your customers? It's really disappointing.""Be quiet," Lily snapped.Anger surged within Daisy, and she used her strength to resist Lily's grip. Daisy's fierce resistance made Lily stop and let go of Daisy's hand."I will hand you over to the police." Lily turned back to glare at Daisy, making a strong statement."Why?" Daisy asked skeptically."Don't play dumb. You're a thief," Lily accused Daisy sternly."Thief? Who, me?""Exactly you," Lily insisted, accusing Daisy without any evidence."There must be a mistake. I genuinely don't understand what you're talking about," Daisy gently replied. "You are acting rudely and causing discomfort to your customers.""Here, we don't welcome or tolerate customers wi
"This employee accused me of stealing from the store, but there's no evidence." Daisy pointed at Lily, reproaching her sternly."That's the truth; don't deny it," Lily responded confidently, not showing any fear. "I searched and found a necklace in her pocket. Everyone here can testify to that."Lily looked around, seeking support."That's right, the necklace was found in her pocket," Lily's friend chimed in immediately, giving false testimony to incriminate Daisy. "I saw it with my own eyes."The girl looked at Daisy and pretended to offer a kind reminder: "I advise you to confess. Otherwise, your offense will be even more serious. It will especially affect the honor of others." She glanced at Axel, emphasizing the potential consequences for Daisy. Of course, Axel didn't pay any attention to her."Just confess already," a voice from the crowd echoed. Before Daisy could respond, heavy criticism rained down on her. Lily smirked with satisfaction as the pressure from the crowd took a to
After receiving the notification from the staff, the manager quickly appeared to meet Axel.Hello, Director Axel. What brings you to this store?" The manager asked eagerly, expressing his joy at seeing Axel. However, Axel replied coldly, not even bothering to look at the newcomer."Sir Director." Once again, the manager tried to get Axel's attention, but he remained focused on patting Daisy's wrist. "You called me here; what's the matter?"Seeing many employees and customers observing them, the manager felt anxious."Resolve the issue." Axel replied curtly, continuing to focus on Daisy."Director, what needs to be resolved? How can I help?" The manager felt perplexed and confused."Ask your employee." Axel replied shortly.The manager looked around and stopped at Lily, who was still sitting on the floor, unable to stand."Lily, what happened?" He asked his niece, "Why are you sitting there?""Sir, Uncle Manager. I..." Lily spoke in fear, unable to look directly at her uncle."Lily, sp
"How are you?" Rosa asked when she saw Mrs. Mia's pale face.Mrs. Mia couldn't say anything when suddenly the police appeared."Rosa Taylor and Mia Wilson, you both are under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder. Please come with us," declared the stern police officer."We haven't done anything!" Mrs. Mia immediately denied the accusation, while Rosa was still trying to grasp the situation."What you said has been recorded—enough evidence to charge you both before the law," Amelia arrogantly proclaimed, holding up a recording device for them to see."Please come with us," the police officer requested a second time."I haven't done anything wrong." Mrs. Mia continued to deny the accusation as she was led away by the police.It was only then that Rosa realized she was being arrested. Not wanting to go to jail, Rosa used her strength to push the police officer and run out of the coffee shop. The police officer chased after her, and unfortunately, something terrible happened. While runn
At that moment, from out of nowhere, an older man appeared, leading his 10-year-old son. They pushed through the crowd in front of the emergency room. As soon as they saw the lifeless body, the man grabbed his son's hand and ran towards it, then hugged the lifeless body and cried out."My wife! How could you leave me and our son so early?"The man's voice trembled as he cried, while the child sobbed loudly. The cries jolted Axel awake, and he raised his blank face to look at the man hugging the lifeless body. The man also looked back at Axel, both wearing expressions of indescribable astonishment."Who are you, and why were you crying for my wife?" A man asked in confusion."What do you mean? Your wife?" Axel's words left the man equally baffled. What was going on here? He suddenly felt disoriented."Mommy, please don't leave me." The voice of a child caught Axel and the man's attention. Upon realizing that the child was not Henry, Axel's confusion deepened. So, that wasn't Daisy. Axe
"Why would you speak of your mother like that?" Daisy scolded. "It's utterly uncalled for. If your mother heard what you said, she would undoubtedly be heartbroken.""You don't know anything, so just stay quiet," Axel snapped in anger.Daisy was taken aback by Axel's reaction, but she quickly regained control of the situation."It's true; I don't know anything about you," Daisy admitted. "We've never truly understood each other, and our views have never aligned. Anyway, your attitude towards your mother is a matter between you and her, unrelated to mine. Therefore, you don't have to be impatient with me.""My mother is dead," Axel finally revealed, thinking that Daisy didn't understand his earlier statement, leaving Daisy shocked and skeptical."Daisy, you've been deceived." Feeling the tension in the room, Amelia hurriedly explained, "My mother and Axel passed away. Axel was just seven years old at the time, and I was twelve. The woman named Mia is my stepmother, my father's second w
That day, it was raining heavily. Despite the kind advice from the neighbors, Axel remained outside, standing in the pouring rain, waiting for Daisy to open the door. Axel's determination earned him the respect of many, but it also stirred feelings of sympathy.Inside her room, Daisy could hear and know everything that was happening outside. However, she had made up her mind not to waver.After enduring six hours of heavy rain, Axel finally collapsed. Kind neighbors took him into their home and took care of him when he had a high fever.The next day, in a daze, Daisy suddenly jolted awake upon hearing an announcement from the neighbor."Daisy, your husband has a fever."Many hours passed. Axel was still unconscious, and his fever was quite severe.Daisy, feeling perplexed, was inside her room. She was genuinely concerned about Axel's condition and wanted to personally take care of him, but she lacked the courage to step out and check on him. Daisy wasn't a coward; she was just too stu
"Daisy, we can.""Henry, we're going home." Daisy interrupted Axel with an absolute command."I don't want to." Henry stopped chewing and looked directly at Daisy, stubbornly refusing."Why not? What's your reason?" Daisy impatiently demanded."I want to go to Cha Axel's home," Henry honestly admitted."Henry, I've told you," Daisy reminded him, trying to control her emotions. She was on the verge of losing her temper. Meeting Axel had left Daisy confused and her emotions unstable."I don't want to," Henry shouted suddenly, accusing Daisy. "You lied to me. Dad Axel is not too busy with work. You didn't bring me here for the safety of either of us. I don't know why you took me away from Axel's father's house, but you lied to me.”Daisy wasn't surprised that Henry easily discovered her lie. Henry was a smart and perceptive child. Daisy had anticipated this, but she hadn't expected Henry's reaction to be so determined and forceful. Daisy had hurt her son's feelings, and she knew it, but
"Hello." The person speaking to Axel was a woman. "Are you the guardian of this boy?""Yes, that's right. I'm Henry's father. What happened, and who are you?" Axel tried to stay calm while gathering information about the situation."The boy had an accident and is currently in the hospital. I'm a nurse at the hospital," the woman reported on Henry's condition. "We need the boy's guardian to come here."Hearing about an accident, Axel felt a chill run down his spine, his heart pounding with fear. He was afraid something terrible had happened.“How is my son?” Axel asked nervously."It's nothing serious; the boy has only minor injuries and lost a little blood. His condition has improved now," the nurse reassured Axel.Thankfully, Henry was safe and sound. Axel silently thanked God."Which hospital is he in? I'll come right away," Axel urgently asked, already getting ready to leave."He's in Hospital K, in the town of Suna.""I understand, thank you," Axel requested. "Please pass the phon
After a while, Axel was engulfed in despair, but suddenly the power of love surged within him. So Axel resolved to take action instead of sitting in self-pity. He also knew he couldn't do it alone, and he had some wonderful friends. Without hesitation, Axel immediately called for help from everyone."John, please help me," Axel choked out over the phone. "I really don't know what to do right now."John was at home, enjoying the weekend with Grace as a loving couple. Today, John decided not to answer any calls, both work-related and personal. However, when the caller was Axel and he kept calling incessantly, John answered the phone."What's wrong, Axel? What's happening? First, calm down," John gently reassured Axel while trying to understand Axel's situation. According to John, whenever Axel called him, it was usually for something very important or urgent."Daisy, she's gone," Axel pleaded in agony. "Help me find her, please.""What happened? Why did Daisy disappear?" John was a bit
Daisy let out a sigh of relief when the person who arrived was not Axel. It was the doctor in charge of Daisy's treatment and the nurse responsible for monitoring her condition."Daisy, how do you feel?" the doctor asked with concern."My head is still a bit dizzy," Daisy replied honestly, then suddenly remembered something important. She anxiously asked, "How is my child? Is everything okay?""The baby is still safe. Please rest assured," the doctor reassured her. Daisy placed her hand on her belly, gently stroking it. She silently thanked God for protecting the unborn child. Up until now, Daisy had not fully recovered from the shock of Rosa's audacious actions. What would have happened if Rosa had actually pulled the trigger? Daisy might have died, and her unborn child as well. Just thinking about it sent shivers down her spine, instilling fear and anger within her. Daisy was sure that Rosa would have to pay for her actions. She believed that."Where is your husband?" the doctor inq
Rosa showed her determination as she looked at Daisy with sharp eyes. Suddenly, Daisy wished someone would appear to stop Rosa. But if her wish didn't come true, she would have to face Rosa's madness and danger on her own."Rosa, listen to me: What you're doing is a crime, and you'll go to jail if you kill someone. You should stop before it's too late," Daisy calmly warned Rosa. "If I scream, you'll definitely get caught.""I don't care," Rosa insolently declared. "I just want Axel to suffer for what he did to me. And what will make Axel suffer the most is losing you. Whether you die or disappear, it's the same for me. I'll give you a chance: leave Axel forever, and your life will be spared. But don't play games with me. If you leave and then come back, I'll kill Axel. I promise you that.""You're not allowed to touch Axel," Daisy angrily retorted."That entirely depends on you," Rosa arrogantly said. "If you dare to defy me, continue staying with Axel. I'll kill Axel and make you liv
