I sighed, noticing the large building towering up ahead. My eyes heated up remembering that this was the house I left behind for five years. Many memories, whether sweet or bitter that I was forced to stop living. Although those memories until now, even until whenever will remain lodged in my brain's memory. It's just how I manage the bad memories to become a motivation and keep it beautiful with the sweet memories. After all, the bad memories are not as many as the sweet memories I get here.I won't waver just because I have to remember how, for the first time, Axe took my chastity by force. Those flush days are over, isn't it now that I've been able to accept all his flaws? I don't even mind if Axe wants to touch me.Yes, I won't be a hypocrite. I enjoyed it too, enjoyed the biggest sin of my life. I should have chosen to keep my distance from Axe. Avoiding the crazy things we've been doing. Unfortunately I couldn't, we were bound by an engagement and I was fully responsible for A
"Bridgette, Honey. Are you awake?" The knock outside made me blink a few times.What time is it already? My eyes moved to the digital clock on the nightstand.Oh, God!I overslept.I quickly changed my position to sitting. Strange, I feel like something is missing. Yes, that's right. Something is missing. Axe, where is he now? I quickly got up to look at every corner of this room. Oh, I breathed a sigh of relief not to find Axe anywhere. Thankfully, he was gone before I woke up."Bridgette!"The call from outside caught my attention again. I quickly rushed to the doorway and found my mom waiting for me out front."Hi, Mom. What's up?" I asked casually. Honestly, of course. I was very grateful to Axe for dressing me. Otherwise, I would have been in more of a hurry."Get ready. Go with mom shopping, we'll cook for dinner."Oh yes, dinner. I almost forgot that today there was a dinner event as well as an important announcement that was still a secret between mom and dad. They had delib
I'm being set up? Gosh, I wasn't ready for a marriage relationship. My life wasn't organized yet, it was a complete mess. If mom and dad knew they had a grandchild from my and Axe's illicit relationship. What would they do?"Wait a minute, Mom. I don't understand."I looked at mom demanding more explanation, I mean this is too sudden. Haven't they been too busy with their own affairs. How could they offer me something that I never even imagined before.My relationship with Axe is already complicated. There was no way I could add another spice, when the flavor between us was already so salty."Next week you and Arthur are getting married. We've got everything ready, all you have to do is do what we've done, Honey."No!I'm sure mom could see the unwilling look in my eyes. I wanted to refuse, but what did mom say? Everything has been prepared!"Dad doesn't want to hear a no from you, Bridgette. Don't disgrace the family name." I couldn't believe my ears whe
No!My mind kept warning me to stop Axe's activities. I knew he wanted to swallow all those pills into his body.No, he didn't. Has Axe gone mad? He wants to die of overdose, is that it?"What are you doing? Don't go crazy and don't even try!" I pushed Axe's hand until the water in the glass and the pills in his hand spilled out. Thankfully the glass didn't fall and break, Axe was a little taken aback by my sudden action. I had to do that, if I didn't hold him back quickly, he could be hospitalized again or worse, he couldn't be saved."Don't harm yourself, please."Now I turned my body so that our positions were parallel. Looks like mom and dad's plan had a bad effect on Axe's mind. In his eyes I saw nothing but emptiness and deep fear. Oh, poor Axe."Don't ever do this again." I quickly cupped Axe's face, giving him as warm a look as possible so that he could calm down a bit."I need my medicine," Axe whispered with a gaze that didn't escape my sight. His eyes were moving wildly, a
"Bastard!" The first thing Dad did was to pull Axe up and again, Dad delivered a crunching blow to the stomach, which then delivered consecutive kicks to each of Axe's bodies."No, Dad. Stop!"I kept shouting trying to pull dad's hand away, but my body was thrown into mom's arms. Dad was so emotional to accept this fact that he unconsciously threw my body to stop him."What have you done to my daughter, huh? How dare you touch Bridgette behind our backs."Axe's body lifted up and took another punch from dad. It seemed that Axe had no intention of retaliating against Dad. He let Dad hit him relentlessly until his face was almost shapeless, battered with bruises everywhere. Maybe Axe respected Dad and didn't want to fight back, afraid that he would get out of control."Dad, stop!""Mom, tell dad to stop. Dad can't hurt Axe, Mom. Please. Axe has mental problems, please don't hurt him again. Mom, stop dad," I sobbed as I fell to my knees unable to hold back the tears. I pounded my chest
"Yes, you've gone too far, Son. I let you go all this time because I thought you were my only son, but you abused the freedom I gave you by ruining your sister's life. You don't deserve to live."My eyes bulged in disbelief as Dad came into Axe's room carrying an air rifle. Dad seemed to be taking aim, started to aim the rifle at the firing position and pressed the butt of the rifle against his cheek.No! I knew very well who dad was targeting. I won't let dad shoot Axe! I quickly stood in front of dad, spreading both my hands to become a shield for the poor man, who was currently silent. Seemingly unafraid and unconcerned of what dad was going to do to him."Before you do that, you better shoot me first, Dad.""Get out of the way, Bridgette!" dad ordered as he lowered the gun from his shoulder and looked at me sharply."You don't have to defend him. I'll finish him off right here. I don't mind losing one more useless kid like your brother, just a pain in th
I knew Dad didn't have much time to deal with my silence, but I also needed a pause - I couldn't answer Dad right away. I hope dad gives me 2 x 24 hours to think, at least let me make my decision carefully. I don't want to regret fighting for a mistake."All right, Bridgette. Dad thinks you sacrificed your brother's life," Dad said as he walked slowly to pick up his air rifle that had been thrown down.Dad's steps were like a death alarm that kept me realizing to move fast. Of course Dad didn't play around with his threats. Now the goal is definitely to approach Axe who is lying with his chest up and down irregularly, looking weak and occasionally closing his eyes letting dad point the muzzle of the gun at him.I immediately ran to hug Axe's body, protecting him from dad's fury. "No, Dad! Fine. I'll do that, I agree and promise you. But put that thing down," I said no longer looking at dad. I was busy burying my face deep in Axe's chest, letting my tears soak through his
Just now my footsteps stepped on the marble of the kitchen and I had to hold my breath deeply. My body flinched to notice the figure of a middle-aged woman who was sitting dreamily on the dining table. Mom's gaze was so empty, the tinge of sadness clearly radiated in mom's beautiful eyes. I really sinned to have given deep sorrow to the heart of the woman who had conceived and gave birth to me. Now how do I mend this fractured relationship? Mom will definitely not forgive me."Mom." I hesitantly stepped closer to her, but it seemed like mom didn't want to be disturbed until she turned her face away unwilling to look at me.I looked down playing with the hem of my original shirt, not knowing what to tell mom to stop being angry with me. I'd better not bother mom. That's right. Mom needed some time alone, to relax her head from today's various miserable events. Axe was waiting for me anyway, I couldn't possibly leave him alone in the bathroom for too long."I'm sorry if I've disappointe
