"Stephen’s POV"
I have been following Axel since the day I saw him at the resort, I guess, God was on my side this time. It’s funny to see myself stalking them that I did not see it coming.
I was watching them from afar when my eyes darted to Axel, who was dragging a girl out of the campus. He was quite serious talking with that student at the entrance of the campus. Let’s see who is his next victim.
I was astounded when I saw the girl turn around, and it turned out that I had already met her before… She's the person I ran into the other day... When a thought came to me, I found myself smiling.
My heart was filled with rage, and I clenched my teeth as I watched him smile after she consented to him... He doesn't deserve to be happy, he doesn't deserve to be loved, he doesn't deserve to exist in this world, and he doesn't deserve... anything after what he's don
Schina’s knees are trembling and can’t even move her feet, as if they were buried in the ground where she’s standing. She was terrified as the vehicle approached her. Axel was worried as he watched the car almost hit her and glanced at her.His feet automatically move and run through her and he wraps his arm around her and pushes his body against hers, making the two of them fall to the ground. Axel uses his hand to not let her hurt her back due to the force of the fall. He was on top of her, rolling their body to stay on the other corner of the road as he noticed that the car was attempting to hit them. The driver looked like he never planned to stop the car.It moved slowly and drifted along the road, "thank you for saving me," she said and stood.Axel sat on the ground and slowly stood up. He was shaking off the dust from his clothes and turned to her, "are you alright?"
He was bewildered by his driver’s statement for some time and searched his eyes around him, yet all the faces were blank."Where is he?" He inquires."I guess it was just my hallucination, sir," replied mister Domingo."Are you alright?" Schina asked while tapping his arm."Y-yes. I’m okay," he responded."May I ask who’s Mr. Andrews?" She bit her lower lip while waiting for his reply."He’s nothing important," he forcedly said. She kept quiet on the way home until she realized her necklace."Where are we going now?" She wonders, watching the road they are taking.Axel was dumbfounded at first, then he realized that she needed to follow all of his instructions. He didn’t want to boss her around, but he wanted to get closer to her because he was afraid of losing her.&
Marie was stunned and uneasy as her sight was drawn to his hands. She forcedly shut her eyes when she saw his hand move. She was so terrified waiting for him to stab the knife into her body that she even held her breath out of fear. Her skin was sweating cold while waiting. "What’s happening?" Her mind asked her. She felt his finger slide through his ear, tucking a few strands of her hair behind. She could feel his warm breath in her ear and heard him ask, "relax! I’m not going to kill you. Have you ever forgotten that you are my best friend?" She gently blinked her eyes open, realizing she was still alive. "Am I not dreaming? I—I’m still alive!" She murmured when she noticed Stephen had moved one inch closer to her. His lips twitched into a curve. She looks at his hands, which are holding a piece of cutlery, and he moves his hand to offer her a seat to dine with him. She terrifyingly decline
Schina had finished her task before the lunch break had come. She went to the food court later than her officemates to have lunch.She was already exhausted after working for four hours in the morning when her body began to weaken due to the overload of work that her officemates had passed to her.She steps inside and searches for a place to sit, but the only available seat was near the glass wall where the rays of the sun were striking. She had no choice but to take it since the place was crowded.Schina quickly ordered her food. Holding a tray of her meal, she walked to her chosen spot. She placed her meal on the table and her bag as she sat, watching others finish their food and planning to change seats once they were finished, but after a couple of minutes had passed, no one was still coming out even though they were done.Schina had no other choice but to get started eating her foo
"Wha—at are you doing?" She was looking at his eyes intently."I—I" He was lost out of his words trying to look for an explanation.Shewaitedforhimtofinishhisremark,buthedidn'tappearto."Canyouletmego?Ihavetogobackimmediately"Shetookadeepbreathandswiftlydepartedtheroom."I will pick you up later!" He saw her pause for a second after hearing him shout. Axel watched her walk till she lost sight of him."Why is he acting strange lately?" She pondered as she returned to their office, but Sabrina stopped her before she could enter. She studied her colleague's reaction and could tell that she was in trouble."What’s wrong?" S
Schina was glancing at the two while they were staring at each other as they understood their silence. She was thinking that they might know each other but were afraid to talk."Schina, we need to go. Hurry, get in the car," he ordered while staring at Stephen."Mr. Andrews, see you tomorrow," she said cordially as she climbed into the car. Then he followed her, closing the door and directing his driver to go off right away."Move aside," Axel growled frustratingly.She did as he said and studied his reaction. His brow furrowed, his mouth pouted, and he inhaled deeply. "Hey, mister. What’s wrong with you?"She slowly moves next to his seat when he ignores her, cupping his face and flipping it in her direction, "what are you doing?" He sounded irritated, but she smiled at him and placed her thumb on his brow, massaging it."It will wrinkle
"Don't even think about drawing close to me or, more than likely I—I will hit you!!"Axel became more worried about her when he heard a shriek coming from upstairs. He speedily strolled up the steps and looked through her room. His heart race when he heard her shout once again, making him barge into her room without the slightest hesitation.He got truly concerned when he saw the wreck on the ground; the pads were thrown on it. He breathed deeply as he slowly raised his gaze on the master’s bed and found her standing on top of it.“What's wrong with you? – What are you doing here?!!” they said in chorus. Schina was puzzled seeing him standing in his room in the middle of the night. She needed to go down and alarm him with the hanger she's holding, however, she did not dare to do it since her opponent was as yet on the ground.Axel was stunned concentrating on the thing t
She was having difficulty coming up with an explanation in her thoughts and was beginning to blame herself for being impulsive and annoyed by her behavior towards him. She was being embarrassed in front of him, which made her look indirectly at him. She is unable to face him after what she has done. She desires to be eaten by the world to alleviate her shame. "What was the point of that?" He said gently, seeing how she sighed deeply and was still hesitant to respond, "answer me," he continued, waiting for her to admit that she like him! She was caught aback by his calm demeanor and attitude toward her. She realized that this serenity was not as easy as she had assumed. "I—I merely did it to see if I—" She takes an anxious pause. "If what?" He said this impatiently as he stepped closer to her. "I did it to see whether I fell in love with you..." Sh
