2024-04-10 19:20:32"Thank you, Hem," I said as I smiled warmly at Mr. O'Connor's subordinate, Hema, who was in charge of driving me here.
Earlier, before we got here, I had asked him to accompany me to shop for some essentials. Obviously I needed a change of clothes and an evening snack, my stomach had been very hungry since the two or three hour journey.Not to forget, I bought a new cell phone for other needs. Really, it felt bad to use the platinum card Mr. O'Connor had given me, but I had no other choice. Later, after I get a job here, I'll reimburse him for all the money I've used."With my pleasure, Miss. Everything has been prepared, you just need to rest, hope you feel at home here," Hema replied kindly as he unbuckled his seatbelt. I knew what he was going to do."No need, Hem. I can do it myself," I said quickly before Hema could do it.I casually opened the car door and carried my body out onto the perfectly cut grass. My breath came in ragged gasps as I noticed the clRelated chapters

'Now the young master is doing well, Miss'I sighed at Hema's ambiguous reply. Now? He means yesterday Axe was in a bad state, is that it?'What was wrong with Axe before, Hem?'I quickly typed my question, then pressed the send button. My fingers tapped my chin as I waited for Hema's reply, even though it hadn't been a minute since I sent the man a message.'Did Axe hurt himself?"I sent Hema another message expressing my suspicion and it turned out that what I had been afraid of happened. Hema's reply sparked anxiety that made guilt gnaw at my chest.Axe had injured himself to such a degree that he needed a blood donor. Earlier, a message from Hema said Axe had had an argument with his father. Axe wasn't stupid and could definitely guess who the person who took me away was, he suspected the right person.Unfortunately in the middle of their argument, Axe suddenly ended the endless argument by leaving Mr. O'Connor who was also fiery in the face of Axe's stubbornness.But what makes m

It's been a week since I've been here, but it doesn't make me feel calm every time I think about how Axe is doing today. Hema still sends me news about him sometimes, but for some reason I can't help but feel that something hasn't happened to Axe. I think Hema was pressured by Mr. O'Connor not to tell me the details of Axe's condition, so I had to guess and ended up having a headache myself.Actually, I've had a headache for the past few days, probably worrying too much about Axe and missing out on a good night's sleep while missing him. I can't stand being separated from him this long, the desire to meet him seems unstoppable. Oh, I'll talk to Mr. O'Connor about letting me see Axe again.Now I'd better fill my empty, struggling stomach. Alicia must be in the kitchen preparing breakfast for me, I should catch up with her. However, I've only just set foot in the kitchen. I had to be rewarded with the nauseous feeling of smelling the onion aroma emanating from Alicia's cooking on the s

I had to move!I quickly wiped my face and got up from my sitting position. Standing still without doing anything was a detrimental choice. After all, it was already done, I just needed to carry on and take good care of God's gift to me."How did it go, Bridgette?" I hadn't even taken a step out of the bathroom, but Alicia was first to pepper me with questions.I smiled warmly, doing my best to hide the sad look that was still on my face. Alicia couldn't see my unpleasant expression, I didn't want to worry her. Yes, don't forget we had only known each other for a week. "I'm pregnant."Alicia's response was unexpected. She squealed with excitement and hugged me tightly. Oh my goodness. Who's actually pregnant here?"Congratulations, Bridgette! You're going to be a mom," she said excitedly with a happy smile after separating herself from me."I've been a mom before," I replied until Alicia's eyes bulged in disbelief."Really? I can hardly believe it, y

My sentence was cut off by a loud knock from outside. I immediately turned my head to the source of the sound with a horror-struck gaze.My heart pounded at the thought that I was alone at home. Alicia had only left a few hours ago to go shopping for kitchen supplies. She had invited me, but I chose to stay because I felt lazy. My eyes grew wide as I realized something.Who was the person outside?Is it Axe? Hema and I had just discussed it, in other words, he was most likely the one who was knocking on the door rudely - seemingly impatiently.Should I open the door now? What if Axe blows up at me or worse punishes me for leaving that guy. Oh, I don't want to risk making him even angrier. I'd better open the door for him.My hand moved quickly to turn the lock, then pushed the knob down and the door leaf that was the barrier between me and the outside world opened quite wide.Somewhat unexpectedly I saw a figure standing stiffly with an unreadable cold g

"Why are you here?" he asked still inching away from me, as if I was the evil woman who had just hurt him."Go away, Bridgette!" he continued in almost a whisper.Oh, what had I done... he was avoiding me as much as he was avoiding everyone else."Don't come any closer. What are you here for if you left me yesterday?"Axe's wounded gaze really hurt my feelings. How pathetic was Axe as long as I wasn't beside him? I really felt like a cruel woman who had hurt his feelings."I told you not to come any closer," he exclaimed still trying to get away from me.God! What happened to Axe exactly? Why did he look scared every time I tried to grab his hand."Axe...""Go away, Bridgette," Axe's voice sounded so painful that I wanted to turn my ears off. Not letting up, his hand pushes me so roughly that I recoil backwards slightly with both hands reflexively holding myself up. It's a good thing I didn't get hit hard, otherwise my fetus could have been in danger.But... the most important thing r

"Now tell me the story. How did you get like this?" I lowered my voice as much as possible so that Axe wouldn't get emotional. I had to be good at persuading him. Otherwise, he could get out of control."Axe," I called out when he didn't respond or give me a short answer. I was getting impatient, which was probably why I consciously released my hold on him until our gazes met again."Tell me..." I looked deeply into Axe's heterochromia eyes that implied so much hurt. It even took me a long time to wait for his response, though in the end it was an unexpected reaction that I got.Of course once Axe realized how we were positioned, he quickly broke away and shouted angrily at me."This is all your fault! If you hadn't obeyed his orders, I wouldn't have gone to the bar and-" Axe's sentence paused on its own, where instantly his eyes moved wildly-then became unfocused by staring down."I-" Axe's voice choked, as if he couldn't continue his sentence. Then he

What does that mean? The last time Axe touched me. I didn't do this at all.Could it be that when we parted, Axe let another woman touch him? Remember what Axe told me at the funeral? He went to the bar and then didn't continue his sentence.Oh, was he tempted by one of the women there or was he deliberately taking out his frustration on me for leaving him in silence? I hope the first option is never an option.Wait a minute, it seems like what I didn't want was what happened. I mean, there wasn't just a single hickey on Axe's neck. One in between the first hickey, the second hickey, half poked out from under the collar of the regular t-shirt Axe was wearing.I tried hard not to be interested in looking, but my curiosity was much more dominant. Until my hand unconsciously moves to pull the collar of Axe's T-shirt until it almost touches his shoulder.My eyes widen to find that along Axe's shoulders are almost faded hickey marks, how hot is the woman Axe chooses t

"You're too much, Axe!"I finally got up from the bed, approaching the stone man who was standing still. I didn't. My intention in approaching him wasn't to engage him in conversation or small talk. Just seeing Axe's face reminded me of the hickey marks on his body, it was enough to make me feel hot and I didn't want to be further consumed by the flames of jealousy.My hand quickly moved to grab the plate that was still intact. Not wanting Axe to think otherwise, I quickly move to leave him.However, I had only taken one step. Suddenly I feel my foot being grabbed, it's not strong, but it's enough to make me stop.Axe...What does he want by holding me like this?"Sorry to trouble you, Bridgette."I smiled wryly at that, it was just that. I think Axe is starting to realize his mistake or maybe I need to speak up? I'm sick of seeing him continue to create this kind of pathetic drama."You're welcome. As a good wife, I should serve my husband properly s

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
Brother Luck(not) Hello Daddy2
"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
