I writhe in sleep as I feel the loss so close to my body, my eyes open to watch the skies of the VVIP room with a blank gaze overpowering.

It's quiet here, just me alone...

I remember before falling asleep earlier, there was still a warm embrace that was perfectly coiled. But now that the loss of that embrace creates an untouchable coldness, I feel empty and my feelings are irresistibly scratched with unwarranted anxiety. Maybe it's because I don't find Axe's presence here.

Axe...

Don't ask me where he is, I don't know. His absence already proves that the sly man left by taking advantage of my short-lived sleeping state.

Axe's stubbornness had gone up a notch, to the point where all means were being used to accomplish his goals. I didn't know what Axe wanted to do out there, but my gut feeling was that he was going to do something bad.

I can only hope that it's not true. I don't want Axe to fall back into the abyss and get even more lost, let alone fall into a criminal case-just Is

    "Sorry, Miss. I can't, it's an order."I rolled my eyes lazily at Alessandro's words. Again the order. Axe forbid again. What exactly was that man doing that I wasn't allowed to know where he was?"If you're not going to tell me, I'm going to go find Axe myself," I finally said. I had no choice but to look for Axe with and without a clue.Instead of letting me go, Alessandro blocked my sure steps towards the hospital hallway that would lead me towards the exit. He looked into my eyes pleadingly, hoping that I would stop looking for Axe. But I wasn't that easy to convince. My mind was made up, I wanted to see Axe and Alessandro had no reason to ask me to stop looking for his boss."I beg you, Miss. It's still late at night."Alessandro repeatedly said the same thing. However, instead of making me feel compassionate, I became even more suspicious. How secret was Axe's whereabouts that Alessandro would beg like that.No!I shook my head not to be fooled

    Not wanting to be grandiose and wishful thinking too far, as soon as possible I pulled the curtain until something I never imagined was plastered so real in front of me. Something so painful, something that made me disappointed, something that forced my feelings to shatter into pieces...It was a bloodied knife in Axe's hand with a man lying unconscious, also bleeding, screaming in pain and begging for mercy to the man who was staring at him coldly.This time I dared to call out to the man, for whatever reason he was still unaware of my presence here-while watching his every vicious act, until it was recorded so perfectly in my brain how the expression of satisfaction was so clear on Axe's face.I still can't believe it. Is it true that the Axe before me is the Axe I've loved all along? I wanted to deny it by not admitting the man was Axe. However, reality kept beating my chest until it was bruised and ended in pain. That man was indeed an Axe that managed to provoke other emotions i

    I walked wearily towards the hospital room Axe had rented. Maybe I should go back to rest as the night continued, getting later and later.As for Axe, I don't want to bother myself with meddling in his affairs anymore. The threads in my brain were still too tangled to add another problem. Let the incident pass like water. Because, for now it's better for me to stay away from Axe, that's the only best option. After all, Axe was no longer a child who had to be told what was good and bad. He's an adult, even mature enough at his age to just take a wrong action."Where have you been?"I had just stepped inside and had to wince in surprise at the cold voice from next door, precisely the owner of the voice standing leaning next to the doorway. It had probably been waiting for a long time for me who had just returned from the bathroom. His sharp gaze was really piercing, and the dominant aura was so obvious that I felt like I was going to be eaten alive by him.No

    I sat motionlessly on the blanket with nothing to do since Axe had left within an hour. I felt lonely, silent, and empty as I thought about the problems in my life that had unknowingly brought me this far-an experience that was so dramatic and priceless.Honestly, I never imagined that my wedding day would be the worst day of my life, that I would have to go through all sorts of miserable obstacles. Especially when I almost lost my life, as well as almost losing Axe. Truly, it was all chest-thumping. Just thinking about it makes my heart feel like it's being torn into tiny pieces.And Axe... Don't ask me about him, I don't want my longing to get worse. Yes, the more I kept thinking about my problems with him, the feeling of wanting to meet suddenly surfaced. I should have realized that I was the one who asked him to leave, now I can't blame him for not being beside me.Never mind...I sighed in resignation as I stared out the window with the curtains partially open, showing the rain

    My breath catches after setting foot on the rooftop, somewhat astonished I stare at Axe who is currently turning his back to me by letting his body be drenched in rainwater. Axe knew I was behind, but he didn't try to prevent me from approaching him or forbid me from following his footsteps."What are you doing here, Axe?" I asked a little louder, the rain making the raindrops that fell down pitted between pain and not wanting to be adored, to the point of overpowering any sound that might exist."Axe!" I call louder and this time it's accompanied by the clomping of feet that are getting closer.By now our bodies were both soaked, and the face I was trying to protect was also wet from the rain.I sighed, unable to look at Axe. I slowly bit my lower lip when I didn't get an answer. I don't know, maybe Axe really thinks of me as a statue or deliberately turns a deaf ear to me so I can keep talking for him. He's really too much.Couldn't stand waiting too long. I growled, stomped my foot

    "I got this, Bridgette."Axe repeatedly wants to take over the towel in my hand, but I keep resisting by holding it up high so he can't reach it. I force Axe to sit on the chair so I can dry his wet hair. It's his own fault that while I'm busy drying myself, he's still wandering around outside with Alessandro.About the towel I'm wearing. I admit that Axe himself took the initiative to go shopping for some necessities such as a change of clothes and anything else related to personal needs. Well, from there, after carrying his groceries in a drenched state, he hurriedly left and asked me to clean up to rest. That selfish man didn't realize that I had warned him of his presence by planning something like what I was currently doing. He wouldn't be able to leave again like before, I would prevent it by threatening him."I'm on my own, Bridgette." Again. Axe protests again when I keep wiping his head with the towel, like he's uncomfortable because I don't stop-making his head stuffy cover

    "We'd better get back to bed now," I continued when I saw he was done with the changing. Axe wasn't at all shy about taking off all his clothes in front of me, he didn't know my cheeks were heating up just by looking at his ass alone."Come."Axe suddenly pulls my hand along with him as he steps closer to the hospital bed. He lifted my body until I squealed in surprise, even though I could have climbed up on my own without his help."Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Axe who was already lying down without any guilt on his face."You almost gave me a heart attack," I protested as I positioned myself to sleep with my back to Axe. We were indeed sleeping on the same blanket, even though Alessandro had asked the hospital supervisor to prepare two temporary blankets. But who doesn't know Axe? That man wanted to sleep separately from me. He prefers to be cramped just to hug my waist while sleeping."Almost, not really," he murmured and then pulled my body tig

    "Ms. Xandersis." A familiar voice from behind stopped me from pressing the door knob. I turned my head and was slightly incredulous to see Mr. O'Connor standing not far from my position. But what I didn't understand was, why was he here? Does he know about our problem?"Is Xelle with you?"I was too shocked to realize Mr. O'Connor was finally right in front of me. Oh, he came here to find Axe, maybe he had something important to talk about that he took time out of his busy schedule to see Axe.I blinked for a moment to neutralize my facial expression, then nodded in response. Axe had been in the room, but he was indirectly with me. I'm the one who's always by his side these days, so there's no mistaking why Mr. O'Connor is looking for Axe through me first."Can you get him for me?""Yes, sir, sure," I said simply. After which I quickly resumed my pending action. God! My breath hitched roughly as soon as I opened the door to find Axe still comfortably sleeping on his stomach. He's re

    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

    "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
