AXEL’S PRIVATE BUILDING*

In a large bright room, Axel was asleep on the bed and Trent was seated close to the bed. His gaze fixed on Axel the whole time, especially the arm that was wrapped with a bandage.

Axel slowly opened his eyes and the first thing it came in contact with was Trent’s face. He tried to sit upright but pain hit from his arm.

He groaned and still sat upright, resting his back on the bed frame.

“I’m wondering if you’re an imposter, cause this isn’t the Axel I used to know.” Trent said, giving him and indifferent look.

Axel didn’t question his statement, he knew what Trent meant by that.

Axel Thomas Leonard wouldn’t go for an exchange and get shot in the process. He does the shooting, not the other way round.

Last night, after returning from the hospital where he went to see Rebecca, he went for a drug exchange, with few of his men. Things turned out nasty, and he got shot in the arm.

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   Rebecca’s plan 2

    Rebecca checked her wristwatch for the umpteenth time. It was few minutes past 10 and Axel had confirmed he would come, but he was no where to be seen. She and her friends were at the back of the restaurant and the place was dark, there was no street light placed directly to the place. Ella’s phone rang for the twentieth time and they didn’t need to check to know who was calling.“Eric is probably worried. You shouldn’t have switched off your phone.” Ella queried. Rebecca had her phone switched off because she didn’t want Eric to question her whereabouts. When Eric couldn’t reach her, he began raining calls on Ella. She didn’t know what she would tell him when she gets home, and she cared less. She would think of something after Whitney is finally free from trouble, but for now, she was concerned about Axel’s arrival. She was about to dial his number when she heard the sound of a motorcycle approaching. The motorcycle stopped in front of them and she instantly knew it was Ax

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   Let her go

    In a dark corner, somewhere far from the area where the incident had just happened, a bike was seen parked in front of a figure seated on the floor. It was Axel. He had a cigarette placed in between his lips. He looked lost. His inner demons were fighting inside him, urging him to locate Whitney that night and have her flesh fed to the lions, but of what use would it be? The reason for all these was Rebecca, he wanted her back, he needed her in his life. But after what happened earlier, he knew he didn’t stand a chance to win her over, he finally knew she had erased him completely from her heart. Over the years, he had watched her from a distance and had saved her in ways she didn’t know. He made it possible for her to get employed in one of the biggest hospital even without her having enough experience. From a distance, he made sure she got whatever she wanted, it summed up for his kind of person. Betrayal was something common in the mafia world, it wasn’t a news anymore. But

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   He disappeared

    Meanwhile, an advanced lady stood outside Ella’s apartment, waiting for Ella to answer her. She kept knocking, hoping someone would answer her. Her knuckles were starting to hurt, due to the numerous times she had knocked on the door. She had tried using the bell but it seemed it got spoilt because the button didn’t work. She had an important meeting that morning and it was Saturday, she couldn’t leave her five years old son alone at home, so she wanted to ask Ella to babysit him till ten o’clock, cause they were neighbors and they were somehow close. She got tired of knocking and decided to meet the other neighbor. Inside the bedroom, Ella exchanged looks with her friends when she couldn’t hear the knock anymore.“Do you think he got tired of knocking?”She asked no one in particular. “I don’t know.” Rebecca replied, tightening her grip on the kitchen knife in her hand. “There’s only one way to find out.” Ella led the way to the sitting room, tiptoeing, while the

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   Craving attention

    Rebecca returned home from work, her shift ended exactly at 9pm and she drove home immediately. She wanted to hear what Eric had to say. When she got home, Eric wasn’t back, so she decided to take her bath and freshen up before he arrives. The clock kept ticking and Eric wasn’t still back, just as she was about to dial his number, she received a text message from him.*Babe, I’m sorry, I can’t really talk right now. I won’t be coming home, I have to finish up with the work at the company. I promise to return immediately I’m back. Don’t stay up all night, have a good night rest. I love you.* A deep frown appeared on her face as she read it. If it was before, she would be proud of him, praising him for working hard, but now she knew he wasn’t at the company, he was somewhere else, and it pissed her off. She guessed his receptionist hadn’t informed him about her visit to the company, hence this text. She kept her phone and tried to sleep early because she had to continue treatme

    She answered the call and suddenly became speechless, she didn’t know what to say, she was nervous.“If the next thing I hear turns out to be your breath and not a word from you, I’m hanging up.” Cold shivers ran down her spine as soon as she heard those words. She was enveloped with fear, as if he threatened to end her life not the call.“Hello,” That was the only thing she could think of saying.“Do you want something?” His voice sounded urgent and hoarse, like he wasn’t interested in having a conversation with her.“Um…” She didn’t know what to say. She’d called him because she was bored, and she didn’t think he would pick, but eventually he did. “How are you?” “For someone who badly wants me locked up in prison, I don’t think my welfare has anything to do with you.” He replied through the phone. Her brows furrowed. Axel was acting cold towards her, his replies proved it. He wasn’t the Axel that wanted her forgiveness, he sounded nonchalant.“I just wanted to know how you’ve

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   The unknown man

    It was a bright morning in Miami and Rebecca was already up, dressing up her bed as she listened to 28 by dean lewis and Ruth B. It was an emotional song and she found it relatable to her situation, but she wasn’t sobbing, she just vibed to it.“They say time heals all wound, but yours cut so deep!” She sang that part a bit loud. She continued singing along till she heard a knock on the door. She walked towards the direction and her mood changed from bad to worse immediately she saw who knocked. It was Eric.“Hey babe.” He flashed her a smile, but the smile disappeared when he saw the look on her face. It was unusual. He expected her to be all over him by now but she didn’t budge, she just stood there in front of him, her gaze boring into his.“Are you okay?” Eric asked, his tone filled with concern. Rebecca didn’t say anything, she left the door opened and walked into the room to pick her phone from the bed. She stopped the music from playing and then turned back to Eric. “Wher

    Rebecca slowly opened her eyes and at first her vision was blurry, she couldn’t see clearly. She tried to lift her hand up to clean her eyes, but she couldn’t. It was then she noticed she was tied to a chair, hence she couldn’t move. She shut her eyes and when she opened it this time around, her vision was better than before. Though it wasn’t exactly so clear, but it was better than before. Her gaze moved around and she noticed it was an empty room, there was no property in the room, except the chair she was tied to. Realization suddenly dawned on her, she had been kidnapped. But why would anyone kidnap her? As she thought about it, her mind drifted to Axel, he had all the reasons in the world to kidnap her. After all, he had done it before.“Son of a bitch!” She tried to curse, but then noticed she couldn’t speak. Her mouth was glued with a tape. She could only say the word inwardly. She kept humming, hoping someone would hear her, but no one did.*******It was night ti

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   Seeking answers

    Eric had apologized to Rebecca for the umpteenth time but she didn’t acknowledge any of it. Her gaze was fixed on the car window, staring at all the things they drove past. She was in his car driving to God knows where, maybe home. After he slapped her, she couldn’t go against him, she was scared. She moved her gaze towards Eric and found him driving with so much focus, he had stopped apologizing when she didn’t reply. She sighed and looked away. If someone had told her things would turn out this way, she wouldn’t have believed. Maybe Whitney was right after all. If she had known, she wouldn’t have returned to him after what happened on the day of the wedding. She turned to him again and noticed he looked calm now. “Can I please have my phone.” She was careful with her words, she didn’t want to infuriate him. Earlier, while apologizing, he had told her the man who abducted her gave him her phone. He kept on explaining, even tho she refused to say a single word. Eric contr

    She could feel his hot breath on her face and she was tempted to open her eyes to see how close his face was. Just as she was about to do so, she felt his soft lips on hers. Her breath hitched immediately, and even though she knew it would lead to this, it still took her by surprise. His lips were warm and soft, and as he sucked her lower lip into his mouth, she felt a spark of electricity. Her body remained still, her legs stayed rooted to the ground as if they were glued there. All of a sudden, he pulled away, leaving her hanging with her eyes closed. Rebecca felt he stopped because she wasn’t reciprocating. To confirm if her assumption was right, she located his neck and wrapped her hands around it. She leaned it, and when she couldn’t feel his lips, she opened her eyes. She felt ashamed when Axel chuckled, but it transformed to satisfaction when he claimed her lips. Her eyelids closed voluntarily and her hand tightened around his neck as she gave in to the worl

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   His cravings

    Regret; it was little to what Rebecca felt at that moment. This wasn’t how she pictured the conversation to end. Axel had made up his mind to go away from her life completely, and even though she had craved for this moment, it hit her like a storm. She had no where to go to, Eric was still searching for her. But being with Axel, was like an eighty percent safety guaranteed. Without him, she wouldn’t be able to hide from Eric for long, she wouldn’t be able to find the clan, she wouldn’t be able to claim her father’s properties. How could she be so foolish??? She cursed herself and ran after Axel, calling his name repeatedly, but neither did he stop nor turned. She hastened her steps and was able to get to his front, finally stopping him from walking further. She panted heavily, trying to catch her breath. He stared down at her, his face expressionless. Even though he didn’t display any expression, she could tell the question going through his mind;What do you want?

    She was too shocked to say a word. She just stared at him, with different thoughts running through her mind. She stood up and took slow steps towards him.“You grew up to be so beautiful.” Thomas commended, smiling at her. When she got close to him, her steps halted. “What…what are you doing here, sir?” She didn’t want to think it was what she was thinking. Everyone at the orphanage knew Thomas to be a good man. He always showed up with gifts and money, helping the kids in any area they needed help with. The head matron assumed Rebecca was his favorite because he was more concerned about Rebecca’s well being, than the others.“You don’t look happy to see me. I’m hurt.” He held his chest dramatically.“I…” She didn’t know the right words to say. She was perplexed.“I know you have many questions going through your mind right now, and I need you to calm down. Take a deep breath and ask accordingly, I’ll answer the ones I can.” He spoke softly. Her brows etched, and at tha

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   The man behind it

    Rebecca kept on checking if their car was being followed by the black car, but fortunately, it wasn’t. She sighed in relief and turned to the front, where she could see the driver from her seat. “What do we do about Kira, what if they try to hurt her?” She asked. “They won’t.” He replied, his gaze focused on the road. “How did you know so?” She questioned curiously. “Because she isn’t the one they’re after.” He spared her a stare. Fear gripped Rebecca immediately. One name kept ringing in her head. ‘Eric’ Thousands of questions filled her mind, but she had no answer to any of them. “Try to contact Kira with the bud, so we can pick her up and head to the airport.” He didn’t reply, and she thought he didn’t hear her, so she repeated her words; loud and clear this time around, but still no reply. She became confused. It was obvious he could hear her, then why wasn’t he replying? She unfastened her seatbelt and moved to the front, using the front seat belt. “Why aren’t

  • CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL   A hot chase

    As the car drove speedily, the force of the breeze from the window blew Rebecca’s hair all over her face. She was in the car with Kira and a guy, driving to the airport. It was finally the day she would be traveling to Italy and Axel wasn’t around. He promised to meet them at the airport. She had asked where he went to, but as usual, he ignored her question and told her Kira would come pick her up. She was at the back seat with Kira, while the car was being driven by an unfamiliar guy, probably someone Axel instructed to drive them to the airport. The drive was silent, not because she didn’t have anything to say, but because Kira had all her attention focused towards her phone, and talking to her would be a waste of time. All of a sudden, the car stopped in the middle of the road, and Kira looked up from her phone.“Why did you stop?” She asked.“It seems we are being followed.” His reply came with a hint of urgency. Kira’s brows raised, “Followed? How sure are you?”“

    She saw an almost invisible smile appear on Axel’s face, but it disappeared immediately. Why was he happy she agreed? She shrugged the thought off and took a deep breath. Growing up, she’d always been portrayed as a weak child, no one saw the value in her. They didn’t think she had potentials. She was tired of being seen as a weakling, she was tired of being used, she needed to stand for herself and prove them all wrong. But then, a question lingered in her head.‘Is he proud of me for making this decision?’ Her father was able to hide his identity from her and her mum, and it meant one thing; he didn’t want them to get entangled in his dark world. But here she was, stepping into it.‘Would he relent me for going into the world he’d been trying to protect me from, or would he be proud of me for taking over his legacy?’ She tried to think through it, but the only answer she could get was that, whatever decision she’d make now, would determine her future. And she didn’t

    “Be free tomorrow, I’ll need your help.” He said instead. He patted Trent’s shoulders and walked out of the room, leaving Trent with a troubling question, ‘Why would the man want to hurt Rebecca in the first place?’ When Axel got to his room, he took of his jacket and fell flatly on the bed, like he had no life in him. “And if you don’t keep to your promise?” The grey haired man had asked him.“Then you can go ahead and kill her, it won’t bother me.” He gave his words.“Why are you so concerned about her?”“I’m not, I’m only doing my job.” He had replied after being quiet for a while.“I pray you do your job well, cause if you go back on your words, I’ll make sure she have a reunion with her father.” Those words Echoed in his head, he couldn’t stop thinking about it. He took a deep breath, calming his nerves. He muttered something incoherent and after that, he took out his phone, getting ready for another sleepless night****** Rebecca stood at the balcony, observing the m

    “If I were in your shoes, Becca…” He took a brief pause. She noticed he was trying to refrain himself, and she couldn’t help but wonder why. “I would dive into the real world, and take what rightfully belongs to me. And for those who have hurt me, I’ll make them beg for death. But…” Her eyes lit in curiosity, but again, he took a brief pause. ‘fucking talk if you want to’ She suppressed the urge to scream those words at him “You won’t do any of that.” His tone was firm, turning to her direction. Her eyes bored into his in curiosity. “Why?” The words left her mouth in a whisper. He turned away from her, “The world is a dangerous one, Becca. It’s for the strong.” She scoffed, finding offense in his last words. “Are you indirectly saying I’m weak? Why do you…”“Not indirectly.” He cuts her off. “You are indeed weak.” That being said, he stood up and walked back into the bedroom. Rebecca followed suit.“I am not weak!” She snapped behind him and his steps halted. “I had a
