"Sir is going to Moscow, Miss."

My ears perked up at Edward's words.

Wait a minute.

What did he mean?

Is Axe not here, in his mansion, is he? Why? I still saw him this morning. He even refused to let me get close to him. The circumstances don't favor Axe traveling far at all. Let alone Russia. It would take hours from here to get there.

"Are you kidding me, Ed? He was here this morning, a bit drunk too."

"No, Miss. Sir did leave an hour ago. And yes, he was sober before he left."

"But he didn't tell me!"

"Sorry, miss. Sir's trip was urgent. There was a small problem at his company's branch."

"Minor you say, Ed?" I asked with a look of disbelief.

Seriously. If it was minor Axe wouldn't have left in such a hurry. At least Axe could talk to me. Oh, I forgot. The man was angry too. Was his jealousy of Ben not resolved yet?

"Yes, Miss. But mister will be there for at least two weeks."

It was taking so long, I wanted to protest. But all I could do was remain silent. Staring at Edward with l

    It's been a week since Axe left me here alone with Edward. During that time, there was no news from him. Axe didn't contact me, nor did I dare bother him to send a message-asking him how he was doing while he was there. About Edward? That man was busy taking Axe's place. Edward took care of all the office matters while Axe was away. I once found out about him through Edward. Too bad Axe didn't contact his right-hand man either. He seemed to have disappeared into thin air, his footsteps unnoticed by anything.Honestly, there was a bit of loss in my heart when he wasn't here, next to me. I feel empty. Maybe it's because I'm used to being with him, so when Axe isn't around-my heart is forced to miss him.My eyes close feeling every tired breath I take. Should I just get out of here. Leaving this mansion because now is the right time. I could use Edward to open the door for me with his fingerprint. Then I could be free to go anywhere I wanted, even back to London. But what if Axe gets fr

    "That's not how you hold a brush!" protested Axe, seeing that my hand position was far from correct."Don't press it," he babbled naggingly.He didn't know. I deliberately looked wrong in his eyes, and-jackpot! I was right. Axe seemed to be well-versed in the basic techniques of drawing or painting. I could tell that the old drawing was indeed his. I also remembered that Axe was very afraid of birds. The drawing I saw and Axe's fear of birds were clearly connected. There was no mistaking it, Axe was a little boy who expressed his sadness into a work of art. But why? Was he unhappy while living with uncle Danial? No way! Uncle Danial himself told me that he loved Axe like his own son."No. Not like that, baby girl."I jumped as Axe took my hand to instruct me on how to spread color onto the canvas."Are you daydreaming?" he asked right next to my ear."N-no. I'm not daydreaming. You startled me by suddenly holding my hand."I breathed a sigh of relief

    "Bridgette, baby!""Open the door!""You know I don't like being ignored!"I took his words as an afterthought. For now, I don't want anything to do with him. I want to be alone. Calm my mind and heal the hurt caused by his words."Open or I'll break the door!" he threatened from outside.I did lock my bedroom door. I told you, I wanted to be alone!"Don't test me, Bridgette!"I buried my face in my pillow and covered my ears. Fuck him. I already don't care what Axe does next. Whether he wants to punish me again or not is up to him!"Damn you, Bridgette!" he swears as my body is forcefully pulled up to look at his towering body in front of me. That fast Axe broke down the door? How come? I didn't even hear the banging sound from him."You want me to punish you again, huh?"The grip of his hand on my jaw made me give him a sour look. "Whatever, Axe. What you want to do to me, I don't care. I'm just your little bitch. I should let you explo

    "Listen to me carefully. Your red card is with me, Mr. Florenso. Now you'd better get those bastards out of here. I'm sick of seeing your faces."Axe ended his sentence by taking a step towards me. As soon as I saw the two men leave, I saw the shaved head limping away. He immediately squatted down in front of me. Giving me a look full of guilt.Not wanting to see it, I immediately looked away. My heart feels squeezed every time I remember that Axe was the one who brought me to a place like this."Look at me."He cupped my face lightly. His look of regret was obvious. Is what I'm seeing true? Why does my heart refuse to believe it. If Axe cared about me, he wouldn't have chosen this way to punish me in the first place."Why did you let them touch you?"What exactly was in Axe's head? He expected me to fight back and get hit more, is that it?I really don't understand what he wants. If he wanted to hurt me. He could do it directly. Didn't I often put up wit

    "Are you all right, Axe?" I asked after seeing him walk languidly over to me. Axe had become quieter after his consultation with the psychiatrist. We had originally gone to see one of the renowned psychologists. But instead Axe was referred because based on the results of the diagnosis, the man needed more serious treatment.At first Axe was angry and refused to go to see the psychiatrist, he was fed up of having to travel which took more time. Thankfully, with my patience, I was able to persuade him to comply.The psychiatrist who treated Axe had previously conducted several examinations. Axe had to go through an interview session, a physical examination, and fill out a questionnaire for the doctor's screening and assessment.I waited for a long time for this process. When the diagnosis came out. I had to suppress the sadness in my heart deeply. Axe was diagnosed with Bordeline Personality Disorder. Where the mental disorder affects his feelings and way of thinking, not

    "Axe." I knocked again on his bedroom door. Since the incident in the kitchen, he hadn't left the room at all. He was really like a virgin girl who was angry because his request wasn't honored. I even stood in front of his door twice and he had no intention of opening the door for me.Actually, I could have pressed the door knob to see if it was locked or not. But the last sentence from him when we were on the roof top was still ringing in my ears. I can't be presumptuous, my status in his eyes is just a bed warmer."Axe."Still no answer. Oh, come on. It's almost seven in the evening. Does Axe want to skip dinner and not take his medicine?"I'll come in if you don't open the door for me," I threatened even though there was no reply.What was Axe doing inside to not respond to me?I didn't want to question it further. Finally, with great reluctance, I barged in. The first thing I saw was some of his belongings on the floor. Maybe Axe took out his frustra

  • Brother Luck(not)   Happy Birthday

    "Wake up quickly," I whispered next to his ear. Almost an hour in and Axe hasn't opened his eyes. He was so at home in his subconscious, as if life there was much more pleasant than coming back here to say goodnight to me.Doesn't Axe know I'm worried about him. At least he opened his eyes and let me breathe freely. That's all. I just needed that to get through my guilt to him."You don't miss me, Axe?" I asked even though there was no answer from him yet.I took a breath and hugged his body tightly. My failed flower cake was waiting for him even though it was impossible to eat, it must have tasted weird. Yes. Tomorrow will be here soon. What else is Axe waiting for? He passed out around eight in the evening, while now the time was almost nine. He doesn't want to hear birthday wishes from me, is that it?I shook my head in disbelief at my thoughts. I quickly crawled up to his face. I pecked his cold lips repeatedly.Come back!I waited for a long time. Finall

    "Why are you suddenly asking me to clean up my clothes?" I asked as I pulled the suitcase into the car.Axe is strange. Half an hour ago he woke me up and gave me a medium-sized suitcase, not forgetting to ask me to prepare some clothes. And now I'm being led out of the mansion with all kinds of questions in my head.What is Axe going to do?"We're going to Canada," he replied, still busy with the laptop on his thigh."What for?""I'm building a school there. Seeing the site, making sure how many percent of the building is built.""Can I come?""No, you can't. You'll go straight to the hotel when we arrive.""Why?""You can't come. It's very dangerous out there." Axe closed the laptop roughly, draped the square thing to the side then pulled my body over his lap."I don't want anything to happen to you. Understand." My body was lowered into his embrace. Axe inhaled the scent of my body deeply, then stroked my back lightly."I can take care

  • Brother Luck(not)   Extra Part

    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

  • Brother Luck(not)   Epilogue

    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

  • Brother Luck(not)   Kidnapped2

    "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
