My breath hitched as I recalled the events of that night. It seemed like my subtle rejection had an unpleasant effect on his heart. Whenever I tried to get close to Axe, he always avoided me. I could tell he was back in a prolonged bad mood. His time was always spent working, leaving early in the morning and returning late at night. The cycle was like that for two days. I didn't even get a chance to greet him with 'good morning or good night' 'have you eaten or not'. Even on his day off yesterday, he was busy in his office all day. Didn't he realize his attitude made me feel bad."Miss, the master asks you to the backyard."I was jolted by Edward's heavy voice coming from behind. I immediately turned my head, and sure enough-Edward was already standing there."What for, Ed?" I asked curiously. Didn't Axe not want to talk to me?"Just come along, Miss."I rolled my eyes lazily. I hope Axe doesn't do anything crazy.***I walked one step behind Edward. The man led me to the garden that
I blinked at the fact that I'd been asleep for three hours. I should have been able to stay awake for the next two hours. I should have met Axe an hour ago like Edward said. Unfortunately, sleepiness could not be negotiated with. I just fell asleep after returning to the room. Tired. That's how I felt after leaving the garden full of heartbreaking scenes.I pulled back the blanket that covered almost my entire body, so eager to see him. I wanted to make sure that Axe was still controlled by what I said a few days ago. I was afraid he'd hurt himself again like he had."Sir is not inside, Miss." The familiar heavy voice managed to distract me. Edward was standing not far from Axe's room. Perhaps he knew that I would meet his master here."Where is he?"I tried to neutralize my heart that was beating violently after hearing Edward's statement. If Axe wasn't in his room, then where was he?"Master is in the practice room, Miss."I breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, the practice room sound
"What's wrong with that? Are you jealous?" I suddenly looked at Axe in horror after hearing his last two words.I'm jealous?Is that true?I just felt my heart tearing a little when I sae syalasa teasing Axe with her foot. My mind kept repeating a rather odd phrase, what if Axe was tempted by her? Thankfully, at that time Axe refused by stepping back a little. So that my somewhat heated feelings could be controlled."Look at me." Axe pulled my face upright towards him. Our gazes met again, making me quite nervous. Instead of what. My heart was hammering inside. What if Axe could hear it?"I've never touched any woman. Only you. You own me for the first time too."I stared at Axe in disbelief. What did he mean by talking to me like that. Did he really think I was jealous? It couldn't be. I tried to deny the truth. Maybe it's true. It looks like I am jealous."Look, Axe. I'm not jealous. You're wrong to think so. I'm just curious. That's natural, right?" I lied."Now tell me how you k
I blinked at the slight movement beside me, and when my eyes opened. The first thing I saw was a handsome face that looked innocent asleep. There was a small purr from Axe's slightly parted lips. For whatever reason, he was both sexy and adorable in this state. Moreover, his silky brown hair was starting to extend almost to his eyes. Smiling slightly, I adjust his hair upwards. Now his forehead was clearly visible without interference. I cleared my throat as I realized the cloth compress on his forehead had fallen to the side. Maybe Axe moved last night so it didn't stay there for long."Have you had your fill of looking at me?" he asked in an increasingly hoarse and deep voice typical of waking up."I have," I replied feeling a tinge of red appear on my cheeks."Thank you." Axe looked at me deeply. Soon a smile was etched on his face along with dimples on the left and right sides."Do you feel better?""Yes. Better than ever."Axe pulled me in and scooped my body into his arms."Are
My eyes rounded fully at the monitor screen that displayed information about the news of Syalasa's death in the apartment building, the girl allegedly committed suicide because she was frustrated by the negative rumors of her father who was involved in an illicit scandal with a woman of the night.My breath hitched harshly at the thought that this was not the case. The girl had clearly died at the hands of Axe. But the media was spreading fake news. Or, wait for it. Was the fake news a conspiracy to get Axe off the hook?"No quality!"The TV monitor screen turned off completely with the remote slammed in any direction. I could see Axe standing there looking at me disapprovingly. Is he done with his business? That rhetorical question was clearly unnecessary."What are you doing with Syalasa's body?"The word you guys is definitely related to Axe and Edward. Especially since Edward was the last person I saw taking care of Syalasa's body."It's just a small thing." Axe still gave me a sh
I didn't have time to finish my surprise. The sound of hoofbeats from outside made the pounding even more intense. My body suddenly felt stiff. I was completely frozen, wishing that time could be stopped.My eyes closed tightly at the sound of the door knob. God. Help me. Don't let it be Axe. My heart almost dropped at the thought that he was really here."Miss, what are you doing in the master's room."My body immediately slumped in relief. Thank goodness it was Edward."Axe is sleeping in my room. So I took the initiative to tidy up his room."Edward looked at me suspiciously. His eyes narrowed at the threatening bouquet. His steps slowly approached me. I felt like running, but my body suddenly froze. Silently watching him get closer was all I could do. Until the bouquet of flowers in my hand now turned to him. Edward pulled it away from me."Half an hour ago the master sent me a message to clean his room, Miss. It would be good for you to return to the master. Don't let him see you
My breath hitched harshly at the sight of Axe just standing stiffly beside the display case of painting supplies. The man stared at me silently with his arms folded in front of his chest. It seemed like he was still thinking about my sudden change in attitude. All the way here, Axe kept peppering me with questions. Really. Do all those men never realize their mistakes? The last time we were at the office, I immediately pushed his body to have access to the steps. I didn't want to become public fodder, to be precise. The Axe employees must have judged me as a seductress. Moreover, one of them actually gave me a disapproving look. Her gaze clearly said she was annoyed that I was next to Axe. Maybe she likes Axe. I don't know, I'm too lazy to think about that. It's better now that I carry my groceries to the front. I can rest afterward, I'm tired from being out for so long."You're welcome," I said as the well-dressed clerk handed me my items that were already neatly arranged in the bag
I repeatedly wiped my face just because the tears wouldn't stop flowing. My condition was still the same. Sitting bent over regretting today's events. My heart hurts remembering Axe's harsh treatment of me. I really do. I still feel the pain under my body from his hard jerk. Thankfully, I'm not bleeding.My breath comes in ragged gasps. I'm actually reluctant to get up to clean myself. But the sticky Axe seed makes my body feel sticky.My eyes close as soon as I touch the water in the bath up. Relief instantly hits my chest. This is the kind of serenity I need, silence and stillness. I wish I could always have this kind of peace. Maybe my tears wouldn't have been wasted."Do you want to die horribly there?" His deep, raspy voice suddenly interrupted. I won't be able to rest easy if Axe keeps bothering me."Go away. Leave me alone!" I spoke without looking at him. I didn't want to argue with Axe at this point."I don't like being bossed around!" he snapped unacceptingly. I could feel h
