"Yes, I'm here. Wake up. Open your eyes and see me." I rubbed his face carefully, lest I hurt him. It's enough that Axe sacrificed himself for me.
"Hey, big baby."I forced a smile at him. Handsome and happy to keep me waiting is Axe's habit."Wake up." I kissed Axe's lips briefly, stroking his head repeatedly until my expectations finally came to the fore. Axe's heterochromia eyes slowly opened, he watched me deeply."Thank you!" I said with a burst of happiness. I'm glad Axe realized.Rghh!Axe's cry came out as the man tried to raise his hand, seemingly forgetting that his left arm had been embedded with hot lead that penetrated to the skin."It's okay. Don't move too much. You need rest." I gave Axe's forehead a quick peck. Axe seemed to enjoy my treatment of him, maybe he would have kept me from kissing him if only he could move freely."I'm still alive?" asked Axe incredulously, his eyes moving wildly to take in every curve of my face."Yes,"Axe, I-" I swallowed my saliva, finding it difficult to utter the words that were stuck in my throat. Especially when I see Axe's face. God, my position here is all wrong."Yes, answer me, baby girl.""I-"My sentence trailed off again. No, not because I did it. But it was Edward's knock and voice that saved me from this uncertain feeling. His interruption clearly freed me from Axe's questions. I was sure he was here with important news. Otherwise, there was no way he would have come to disturb his master who was resting."Sir, the great lord and lady contacted me. They wish to speak with you," Edward said as he bowed respectfully to Axe. His current position was standing close to us, no wonder why Axe had let my answer slide.But what caught my attention was only one, the word lord and lady that Edward said. What did he mean by that ...."Mom and dad?" I asked quickly. But Edward didn't answer me right away, he just looked at Axe who also seemed to be thinking. There was no mistaki
"Axe, let's get up!""Today is your scheduled counseling." I tried to pull Axe's hand to get him up. Instead of helping me, Axe deliberately put so much weight on his own body that I couldn't lift him up. I sighed at his inability to move or even open his eyes. Maybe Axe had forgotten that it had been almost a week since he'd been shot, all he'd done was rest on his bed. Fortunately Axe's current condition is far from bad, it's just that he's been very lazy lately. maybe because I spoiled him too much."Axe, wake up quickly. Don't let me splash you with cold water!" I threatened, no longer patient with his behavior.I quickly dragged my feet to the bathroom. I grabbed whatever was there to collect a quarter of the water from the shower. I didn't mince my words, if Axe still didn't want to wake up, I wouldn't hesitate to splash him.My steps are definitely back to the bed. Oh, apparently my threat has full effect on Axe, who is now sitting up while rubbing his eyes repeatedly. Thankfu
"All right, Doc. I'll do my best to understand Axe better."Doctor Felice smiled in response to my answer. We talked about a few important things, before I finally excused myself. No, it's not that I can't stay long, but Doctor Felice's time is limited.My steps slowed to the waiting room where Axe was sitting comfortably. It looks like Axe is also busy, he seems to be seriously scrolling through his cell phone until he doesn't realize I'm already standing next to him."Axe," I called softly.It successfully attracted Axe's attention. He looked at me and quickly put his phone in his pants pocket."Are you done? What did Doctor Felice tell you?" Axe asked curiously. It was always like that. Axe always asked me what Doctor Felice had to say about him."Still the same. You must take your medicine regularly."I immediately positioned myself to sit beside Axe. Looking at Axe's face, I remembered what Doctor Felice had said earlier. Was it true that a man like him had been abused? I didn't
I sighed, noticing the large building towering up ahead. My eyes heated up remembering that this was the house I left behind for five years. Many memories, whether sweet or bitter that I was forced to stop living. Although those memories until now, even until whenever will remain lodged in my brain's memory. It's just how I manage the bad memories to become a motivation and keep it beautiful with the sweet memories. After all, the bad memories are not as many as the sweet memories I get here.I won't waver just because I have to remember how, for the first time, Axe took my chastity by force. Those flush days are over, isn't it now that I've been able to accept all his flaws? I don't even mind if Axe wants to touch me.Yes, I won't be a hypocrite. I enjoyed it too, enjoyed the biggest sin of my life. I should have chosen to keep my distance from Axe. Avoiding the crazy things we've been doing. Unfortunately I couldn't, we were bound by an engagement and I was fully responsible for A
"Bridgette, Honey. Are you awake?" The knock outside made me blink a few times.What time is it already? My eyes moved to the digital clock on the nightstand.Oh, God!I overslept.I quickly changed my position to sitting. Strange, I feel like something is missing. Yes, that's right. Something is missing. Axe, where is he now? I quickly got up to look at every corner of this room. Oh, I breathed a sigh of relief not to find Axe anywhere. Thankfully, he was gone before I woke up."Bridgette!"The call from outside caught my attention again. I quickly rushed to the doorway and found my mom waiting for me out front."Hi, Mom. What's up?" I asked casually. Honestly, of course. I was very grateful to Axe for dressing me. Otherwise, I would have been in more of a hurry."Get ready. Go with mom shopping, we'll cook for dinner."Oh yes, dinner. I almost forgot that today there was a dinner event as well as an important announcement that was still a secret between mom and dad. They had delib
I'm being set up? Gosh, I wasn't ready for a marriage relationship. My life wasn't organized yet, it was a complete mess. If mom and dad knew they had a grandchild from my and Axe's illicit relationship. What would they do?"Wait a minute, Mom. I don't understand."I looked at mom demanding more explanation, I mean this is too sudden. Haven't they been too busy with their own affairs. How could they offer me something that I never even imagined before.My relationship with Axe is already complicated. There was no way I could add another spice, when the flavor between us was already so salty."Next week you and Arthur are getting married. We've got everything ready, all you have to do is do what we've done, Honey."No!I'm sure mom could see the unwilling look in my eyes. I wanted to refuse, but what did mom say? Everything has been prepared!"Dad doesn't want to hear a no from you, Bridgette. Don't disgrace the family name." I couldn't believe my ears whe
No!My mind kept warning me to stop Axe's activities. I knew he wanted to swallow all those pills into his body.No, he didn't. Has Axe gone mad? He wants to die of overdose, is that it?"What are you doing? Don't go crazy and don't even try!" I pushed Axe's hand until the water in the glass and the pills in his hand spilled out. Thankfully the glass didn't fall and break, Axe was a little taken aback by my sudden action. I had to do that, if I didn't hold him back quickly, he could be hospitalized again or worse, he couldn't be saved."Don't harm yourself, please."Now I turned my body so that our positions were parallel. Looks like mom and dad's plan had a bad effect on Axe's mind. In his eyes I saw nothing but emptiness and deep fear. Oh, poor Axe."Don't ever do this again." I quickly cupped Axe's face, giving him as warm a look as possible so that he could calm down a bit."I need my medicine," Axe whispered with a gaze that didn't escape my sight. His eyes were moving wildly, a
"Bastard!" The first thing Dad did was to pull Axe up and again, Dad delivered a crunching blow to the stomach, which then delivered consecutive kicks to each of Axe's bodies."No, Dad. Stop!"I kept shouting trying to pull dad's hand away, but my body was thrown into mom's arms. Dad was so emotional to accept this fact that he unconsciously threw my body to stop him."What have you done to my daughter, huh? How dare you touch Bridgette behind our backs."Axe's body lifted up and took another punch from dad. It seemed that Axe had no intention of retaliating against Dad. He let Dad hit him relentlessly until his face was almost shapeless, battered with bruises everywhere. Maybe Axe respected Dad and didn't want to fight back, afraid that he would get out of control."Dad, stop!""Mom, tell dad to stop. Dad can't hurt Axe, Mom. Please. Axe has mental problems, please don't hurt him again. Mom, stop dad," I sobbed as I fell to my knees unable to hold back the tears. I pounded my chest
