I looked at myself in the mirror. In front of me was a frail-looking woman trying to look okay. I forced a smile until my reflection did the same. My appearance was perfect. It looks like Axe deliberately gave me a decolette look dress instead of a bustier look, so only my neck and chest are perfectly exposed. My hair is styled by his men in a messy bun style. The man prepared me in such detail that I almost didn't recognize myself.

I walked slowly out of the room and towards Axe. He looked so handsome in his black tuxedo and matching bow tie. I'm not complimenting him, because that's the fact. I can say that Axe is one of those men who is exceptionally good looking. He's very handsome indeed. Unfortunately, his vices masked that fact in my eyes.

Axe held his arm out to me. I stared at it for a moment before taking it. His piercing stare forced me to. I rolled my eyes lazily. Walking hand in hand with him was like walking to my own death. Every breath I took was heavy. Besides, the co

    I smiled at the scene in front of me. The couple I was with were currently harvesting potatoes in their backyard garden. Still remember the middle-aged woman who helped me escape. Yes. She finally gave me a ride to stay with her. At first I refused because I felt bad. But seeing her begging so much, I couldn't bear it. They were a caring couple. At the beginning of my stay here, I told her the reason why I ran away on the night of Mr. O'connor's gala party. I only told them a little bit of the rest there were some truths I hid, including the identity between me and Axe. I didn't tell them that the man holding me captive was my own brother who was so obsessed with me. Even so, they kept encouraging me. I'm glad God brought me together with good people like them."Morine, I got a big potato," I said excitedly. The middle-aged woman I called Morine smiled and walked over to me. She eagerly helped me pull the potato from its roots.Our laughter broke out as the soil jumped on our faces. H

    "Bridgette open the door, dear." Morine's knock and coaxing voice made me hesitate. Should I go out or stay in my room avoiding Axe.I took a breath and let it out roughly. I reluctantly opened the door to the room considering I had no more rights than just hitchhiking."Bridgette, do you have a story to tell?" asked Morine. We sat on the edge of the bed, Morine gently smoothing my slightly messy hair.Without being asked, I hugged the middle-aged woman in front of me. She was like a second mother to me. Although we were strangers who finally got to know each other, but I loved her very much. Her sincerity and kindness made her worthy of love."I'm sorry, Bridgette. I didn't know that Xelle was the person you had been referring to. I also didn't expect her to do such a bad thing to you. I told her not to bother you. But-" Morine stopped her sentence. Her gaze turned sad."He told me. He can't live without you." I laughed bitterly at that. Was Morine now defending Axe? I couldn't belie

    There was a knock on the door from outside. Axe smiled crookedly at me and then got up and opened the door for his guest. They talked for a while before Axe finally invited the man into the room. He locked the door tightly. My eyes bulged as soon as I realized that the person who was called here was Edward. Edward was seen bowing obediently to his master.Bugh! I screamed as I saw Edward bowing down in pain. Axe hit him right in the stomach.Bugh! Again. Axe did it again in front of me. I saw Edward coughing from the pain Axe was giving him. Axe was crazy. A subordinate as good as Edward shouldn't be beaten for no reason."Now is my turn. Do it the same way, right over here!" Edward shook his head quickly as Axe pointed to his left abdomen as a place for Edward to deliver a counter punch."No, sir. I can't-akh!" Edward winced in pain as Axe hit him again."Do it or I'll fire you!" threatened Axe warningly. Frightened, Edward looked up at his master. His hand tremblingly stretched for

    "What's wrong, why are you looking at me like that?" I asked spontaneously. The atmosphere at dinner was suddenly gloomy. Accompanied by the sharp gaze that had been directed at me. I didn't feel like I'd done anything wrong to him. But the look in his eyes clearly said something different."You owe me!" Axe's deep, husky voice made me think.That should have been what I told him. I don't owe Axe anything. He's the one who owes me an answer.'I know you were here'. His words were still ringing in my head. How he knew where I was at that time. And the coincidence yesterday, where it turned out that Morine was his adoptive mother, was really difficult for me to accept. Did Axe have something planned for me at that time?I put my spoon and fork down on the plate hard, letting the three objects come together to make a sound. I looked straight at Axe who was still faithfully watching my every move."You owe me the most," I finally said. Making the man I'd been with burst out in momentary l

    It's been a week since I returned to this place, the cage where I was both sheltered and hurt. Although my relationship with Axe has gotten a little better. But sometimes I still harbor a dislike for him. He still touches me often since the last punishment incident he gave me. I don't try to stop him like I used to. Axe is very stubborn. I couldn't make him realize it. Continuing to resist him also made me tired. I was his pawn, he controlled and controlled my steps. It was like I had no right to my own life the moment I saw him slamming my things.Flashback on."Can you give me back my cell phone, Axe. I'm begging you. I've given in to all your wishes." I begged him for who knows how many times. I want my phone, that's all. But Axe was only focused on the tv monitor in front of him. He didn't pay any attention to me who was hoping he'd change his mind after holding onto my important possession for so long."I'm talking to you," I said angrily. I grabbed the stick in his hand.

    "What's going on, Axe?" I peppered him with questions again when we finally arrived at his mansion. During the trip the man was silent. Every now and then I saw his hands shaking for no reason."You act weird." Still no answer from him. Axe just sat quietly at the bar table. I'm sure his mind was wandering. Seeing him like that made my head feel even dizzier. I don't know, the moment he pulled me running and the whole way home I wasn't feeling well. I felt nauseous at times, but I was still able to endure it well. But seeing that Axe's situation wasn't like usual, I thought I needed something that could make me comfortable. I needed a break.After just a few steps, I felt like I had a boulder thrown on top of my head, which made it feel even heavier. My vision became blurry. I could still vaguely see Axe, who remained where he was. My hand was trying to reach his shoulder. Unfortunately, at the same time everything was getting dark until Axe's voice shouted my name loudly. My body wa

    "What are you doing, Axe?" I asked curiously. I'd seen him all morning minding his own business in one of the empty rooms of his mansion."Renovating this place into a room," he replied as he busily painted. "For our baby," he continued excitedly. I couldn't believe that a man like him would be this enthusiastic about becoming a father. Because sometimes Axe was too unstable, his attitude could change drastically and unpredictably. He could also be so emotional towards me."Isn't it too soon? I'm only six weeks along." I looked down at the sweat-soaked back. It seemed like the air conditioning here couldn't compete with his raging spirit. What a possessive human being. I even still remember how he suddenly hired a female obstetrician for me, just because he didn't want Doctor Arnold to examine me. Oh. He was jealous of his own personal doctor. But I'm happy. Because thanks to my pregnancy, Axe was being nicer to me. He also kept his word, not touching me at all."You'd better rest fir

  • Brother Luck(not)   Meet Danial

    Since yesterday's incident. I finally managed to persuade Axe to let me stay with him in his penthouse. Although it was a bit forced, Axe still said yes. He gave me the condition not to try to run away from him again. I wouldn't do it if he continued to be gentle with me. However, for the other condition where I have to continue to stay in my room, I'm not sure. Because the only reason I wanted to stay in his penthouse was so that I could freely go in and out and do whatever I wanted. Including finding out some things I don't know about that guy. Right now I'm already at the shopping center without Axe's knowledge. Buying a new cell phone for me. Of course I'll contact mom later. I wanted to know the rest of the details about the agreement, the black and white agreement that involved Axe having to stay away from us for a long time."Hi, Bridgette. Long time no see." I immediately turned around when I heard a voice greeting me from behind.My eyes widened at the sight of the person in

    Several months later... I was staring at Axe with an infected hand, next to him was Oracle, walking towards me. He had a baby in his arms. His head kept lowering to watch our daughter's face endlessly. A perfect smile completed Axe's happiness. His efforts to serve me when I was craving for something had paid off, as he was finally reunited with his child in person. I remember forcing Axe to make me roti canai, an Asian specialty, with his own hands. Axe could cook, but had no idea about that kind of food, but at the crack of dawn, I kept pushing him to get up to be an impromptu chef for his daugther's wish. It was a struggle to wake Axe up when he was exhausted after touching me relentlessly. It's his own fault for never being satisfied. Little did I know that his son would suddenly want something. Even though he had to, Axe did his duty. That time, with his eyes half open. He reached for the cell phone on the nightstand, digging into

    I gazed at the ring that was placed back on my hand with a smile of emotion and happiness. The sacred promise in Axe's name had been made. There was one more to go, but Axe never did. He just looked at me with his eyes sparkling with happiness, like an idiot who suddenly became a millionaire. What was he waiting for? Until I started first? Seriously! "You're making everyone wait too long for you," I said softly and almost in a whisper. "Sure?" asked Axe in confirmation. He raised one eyebrow at me suspiciously. "Are they or are you actually getting impatient?" he continued with a teasing smile. "Suit yourself, Axe." I turned to look at the faces there. The important people in my life were gathered in one frame. There was Oracle, mom, dad, my father and mother-in-law, and Rose who was so beautiful in a black dress. Next to her was Theo who always stalked Rose wherever she went. I think Axe's question at that time was very appropriate. What is the relationship between them,

    "You didn't mean your threat, did you, baby girl?"I didn't respond to Axe's question the whole way. Even from the time Oracle kept babbling until he was now sound asleep, I didn't respond to him. Earlier, after Rose and Oracle's hug was over. I immediately said goodbye to Rose and left Axe alone. Stepping quickly into the car with Oracle. He followed later with a face that seemed to be in deep thought, perhaps he was thinking about how to persuade me. Let it go. Let him know what kind of position I was in when I apologized to him. Being ignored doesn't feel good. Now let Axe get a taste."Bridgette," he called again.There's no answer for a moment, so I choose to close my eyes to join the Oracle on my lap. I'd rather sleep."Let me ask you, what's your friend got to do with that silly bastard? I saw him hiding in Rose's room and watching all of us."My eyes flew wide open. What did Axe mean and who could get inside Rose's apartment besides us?"Who

    Do you know what's wrong with roses falling? Because when it first blooms, it's too beautiful. -Theodore Witson -------------------------------- "Rose, thank you again. I don't know what my life would be like without your help." I hugged tightly the body of the beautiful woman, who was currently returning my warmth."You're welcome," Rose whispered as she gently rubbed up and down my shoulders. "In what way should I repay your kindness?"I couldn't help but make sure my voice sounded bitter. I couldn't bear to take the Oracle away from Rose. But what should I do? If I let Oracle be with Rose, that child would lose a complete family figure. Axe definitely wouldn't let that happen. He's been separated from Oracle since Oracle himself was still in the womb, how could that man ever want to give Oracle up. And if I'm being honest, I want Oracle too. Although the guilt for Rose would be much greater. "You paid me enough with your happiness. Don't be sad anymore, do you understand?" Ros

    "She's in the back like a chick," Axe replied. He suddenly moved away, no longer providing protection. "Hi, Rose." I smiled stiffly as Rose stifled a giggle at my ridiculous behavior. Just watch out for her! "Hi, Oracle." This time I turned to Oracle, he was looking at me deeply. There was a tension on his face that I didn't understand. Why, did my presence scare him? I shook my head faintly with an unfocused look, looking at the three people in front of me in turn. The Oracle could not accept my presence yet, that much I knew. I'd better get going. Yes, my legs slowly lifted backwards. Feeling that it was not enough, I turned my body quickly. Run! That's what my brain told me to do. But my movement was halted by a greeting from behind. "Hello, Mommy Bri." Mommy Bri... My head echoed at the Oracle's call. He called me mommy

    "Ready?" I turned my head to the side at Axe's question. From the Canadian airport, we drove straight to Rose's apartment. Axe and I were still in the car parked in the basement. He asked me if I was ready...my answer was no. I couldn't take Oracle's rejection when he saw me in front of him. As Axe had said back then, he would take me to pick Oracle up after everything was done. Yes, it was over as Axe's revenge was three weeks old. Uncle Danial was finally found guilty and sentenced to 35 years in prison. The prime minister's protection of him did not apply, because the evidence was in sight. Moreover, Uncle Danial was further aggravated by the presence of the prisoners that Axe released as witnesses in court. At that time, the trial lasted for about two weeks. No denials and no appeals made it all over quickly. I still remember the first and second trials. It was strange to sit in the opposite camp between dad and mom. Although

    "Damn kid! Where have you been all night, why do you have this bruise on your face?" We just arrived at Mr. O'Connor's residence, suddenly Axe was immediately questioned by his father. The explosion in the forest yesterday, no one had dared to tell my father-in-law about Axe's condition via voice call before the man was found. Mr. O'Connor is temperamental. He would have gone berserk knowing Axe was in danger. That's why Hema asked Alessandro and I to wait for the right time to tell him, which turned out to be the case even after I was gone, they still didn't tell Mr. O'Connor about Axe's condition. "Just a bruise." Axe chuckled in displeasure, continuing to avoid having Mr. O'Connor's hand on his face. "Really?" Mr. O'Connor gave Axe an incredulous look, then turned to glare at me. "What did Xelle do last night, Bridgette?" he asked, obviously knowing I wouldn't lie. I didn't do much. I just sighed and occasionally glanced at Axe, w

    "Watch out, Axe!" Bang! I hugged Axe as tightly as I could, making my body a shield for him. He once let a bullet bite into his body because of my mistake. Now I wanted to do the same, sacrificing myself for the one I loved. The sound of gunfire gave me pause to breathe. I should have felt the heat spread by the bullet. But until now everything still felt safe. I don't understand, my body is fine for no reason. "Don't do this next time. Don't protect me. I can take care of myself. What will happen to you if I don't hurry?" My body was forcibly released and I realized Axe's weapon was emitting smoke as he lowered his hand. What have I missed? I quickly turned around. It was a little unbelievable to find Arthur lying on the floor with his eyes open and a bullet stuck right in his forehead. "I don't want to kill. But letting yourself get shot is the most fatal mistake." Axe stroked my face briefly, then tucked the gun in his hand behind his body. "Don't do that again. Do you un

    "I told you not to try to escape from me!" A cold voice and the clomping of someone's feet made me turn around. Arthur was seen grinning cruelly with his gaze drawn deep. He was completely different from anyone I had ever known. "I've given you a choice. Obey if you want me to be nice!" Arthur gripped my jaw so tightly that I looked up to stare into his dark beads. He changed after the unwanted wedding into a big battle. I knew he was a victim of Axe's game. But, did it have to be this way? "Why did you kidnap me all the way here?" I forced myself to stare at the man in camouflage. There was no meaningful answer from him. He just smiled crookedly bringing my face closer. "Let go, Arthur. I have a husband," I said, pushing quite hard on his face. "I should be your husband." Arthur smiled bitterly. There was so much hatred in his eyes. He was right. He should have... He should have been my husband. But fat
