"Akh!"

Axe winced as my meager pinch landed on his stomach. He's not usually like that. I knew Axe wasn't joking, because the look on his face said it was serious. He's also the kind of person who can withstand physical pain. What was going on? If it was just a pinch from me, there was no way Axe would react like that.

No!

I think I'm missing a lot here. Something's wrong, there must be an unusual wound hiding under his plain black t-shirt.

"What are you doing?" he asked warily as he saw my hand move to touch the hem of his shirt.

"I-" I stopped the sentence floating in my throat for a moment. I looked deeply into his eyes until I realized something. I had to take things slowly, including finding out what was making him grimace like that.

"I want you."

My hand moved to touch his firm jaw. I stroked it lightly and then pulled him closer. I pressed Axe's lips deep, leaving a big question mark inside his head.

"Reply to me."

I could tell he was conf

    My eyes stare straight at the broad back of the man standing at the cash register, paying for my meager purchases. My breathing is ragged, after Axe told me the story last night. I didn't ask any more questions about the work accident he mentioned. Let's just say I accepted his excuses, even though I had my doubts about the truth. But I didn't want to prolong it all just because of my curiosity. Never mind. After all, honesty wouldn't hide for too long if what Axe said was a lie."Are you done?" I asked as Axe approached me, carrying the groceries in both hands."Yes. Let's go home."By 'home' Axe meant the hotel we were currently staying in while in Canada. Don't feel surprised, it's his habit to call any form of residence home."What are you buying this many boys' toys for, Bridgette?" asked Axe as he lifted my purchases up.I almost forgot to mention that my friend Rose and my favorite little boy live in Canada. What a coincidence that Axe brought me here. I get to meet them after

  • Brother Luck(not)   The Truth

    "Oh. Oh, my goodness. So that guy is your brother, Bridgette?"I winced at Rose's incredulous tone. She seemed shocked by the fact. The fact that the man I was with and so attached to the Oracle was the man who had impregnated me five years ago-my own brother.Of course Rose knew who Axe was and what our relationship status was. She was the only person I told when there was no one I could trust in this world. Don't ask me what Rose's reaction was when I told her about my life problems. She was so sick at the thought of a man like Axe actually existing and indirectly coming into her life."Why are you with him, Bridgette?" she asked with a half-sigh."It's a long story." I sighed for a moment. Maybe this was my destiny, what could I do?"Don't you want to leave him?" whispered Rose cautiously. Her eyes moved quickly through every visitor here, afraid that Axe would suddenly be here."I've tried. But he found me again." "Don't you want to try again, Bridge

    "But it looks like master is sleeping, Miss," he continued successfully bringing my footsteps to a halt."Is Axe sleeping with Oracle?""Yes, miss," he replied, causing Rose and I to glance at each other."Just open the door, Bridgette," Rose said impatiently.I took a deep breath, determined to open the car door. I wonder what their poses will look like when they're sleeping together? Would they look the same when their eyes were open, or would it be the other way around?Imagining that, a strange feeling suddenly invaded my chest. I don't know. Should I be sad or happy to realize that Axe and Oracle got along so easily. But I can't lie that at the bottom of my heart, there's a hope that's soaring high into the sky. I want to someday be able to be honest with Oracle about who I really am. All this time all he knew was his mother Rose, not me. I pity him too, since he never felt the presence of a father. Even he was very confused when Axe asked him who his f

    "Let me carry him." Axe forcefully pulled Oracle's body from my arms, leaving an empty feeling when Oracle's small body was transferred to his father's hands.I was going to protest, but since we were walking in the hotel lobby. I decided against it and let Axe go ahead of me. Axe's sturdy back seemed to be getting farther away as his wide strides never paused.Axe seemed to be hunting for time. Where is he going after this? My mind kept asking questions.I quickly caught up with his footsteps which now seemed to be entering the hotel room. Every movement Axe made seemed strange to me, or was it just me? I quickly shook my head and pushed the door that was almost closed.I breathe a sigh of relief to see that Axe has already moved Oracle's small body onto the bed, his sleep still as deep as it was in the car. Not at all disturbed from one move to another. "What's wrong, Axe? Why did you leave me?" I asked as I closed the door softly.I stepped towards him wh

    "So what should I call you?" asked Oracle innocently as we walked side by side to our hotel room."You can call me daddy.""Daddy?" Oracle asked again as if to confirm the truth of Axe's words."Yes," Axe replied quickly. He was still faithfully holding Oracle's small hand as he led his through the steps."Aunty. May I?" This time Oracle turned to me. His hopeful gaze broke my heart. Why did it hurt so much to see Oracle wishing that he could call Axe daddy. I really do. He made me feel like a bad person for separating him from his own biological father."Aunty, why you be quite? Can I call handsome uncle just like 'daddy'?"I smiled a little and nodded in response. I had nothing to say but to say yes. I quickly wiped away the tears that were about to fall. For a moment I saw Axe staring at me intently. Unlike at the restaurant earlier, this time Axe gave me an unflattering and questioning look. I think Axe was watching my every move, so suspicion was lodged

    Who is he?My eyes continued to watch the unexplored steps. It was getting closer and closer. I'm sure my breath started to catch. I couldn't see the man's face at all, making me regret turning off all the lights in this room. I tried to digest the situation here. Slowly but surely, my hand moves to grab my cell phone and blame it on the flashlight. I quickly shone the light from my cell phone towards the man. To no one's surprise, he immediately raises his hand to cover his face, disturbed by the glare of the light."Turn it off!" he exclaimed unhappily as the lights came on in this room, he was the one who pressed the light switch.Axe!My eyes immediately rounded to see the face I had been worried about. "Where have you been, Axe?" I asked, not caring about his glare. There was a little relief in my heart at his condition. I was glad that Axe was okay."None of your business!" he snapped as he strode towards the bathroom."Your health condition is my

    I was a little flabbergasted to see him holding a medium-sized kitchen knife. Don't tell me Axe is going to prove what he said in the bathroom. I really couldn't believe it."Don't do this!" My steps definitely took a step back as I realized the distance between us was getting thinner."Go away!" I screeched almost like a madman. My chest rose and fell feeling tight at the unforgiving glint in his eyes. Is it true that the one in front of me right now is Axe? I shook my head in answer to myself. Of course, there was only one human like him on this earth.Degh!The sound of a stifled voice made my heart instantly hammer. Woefully, there was no more room for me to move. I was locked in with my body restrained by the pantry. "Stop right there!" I exclaimed, trying to grab whatever was still left there, perhaps the chefs had left some leftover ingredients that I could use to throw at Axe's face."Stop, Axe!" I couldn't stop crying when I turned around and found nothi

    "Aunty."A small call followed by a gentle peck on the cheek vaguely made me open my eyes. I smiled to find Oracle sitting sweetly in front of me."Good morning, Aunty," he greeted successfully, causing a warm feeling in my chest. It felt good to wake up next to Oracle like this."Good morning, Oracle," I replied, pinching his cheek lightly."Where's Daddy, aunty? I don't see him."My heart was suddenly blurry at the sound of that name, the name that had kept me awake most of the night. My breath hitched roughly and I looked deeply into Oracle's innocent face."Daddy sleeps with Om Edward in the other room," I replied simply. I didn't even know where Axe was right now. My gut feeling told me he was in the other room though it was unlikely."Daddy's busy, huh, Aunty?""Yes, dear. While waiting for daddy, we should get ready to meet mommy. Oracle already misses mommy Rose, don't you?" I deliberately changed the subject. I didn't want to feel like discus

    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

  • Brother Luck(not)   Marry Him

    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
