I took Axis' belongings when the nurse showed it to me. That stupid idiot. How could he just left without taking his things here?
"I'll get his things. I'll just give it back to him," I told the nurse who allowed me to get inside this room earlier.
"Don't you want to stay first, Miss Yasha? I know for sure your bruises still hurt," I smiled a bit with what nurse said. She's worried at my condition. I can tell that she's so caring.
"I'm okay," I answered at her. "That stupid idiot needs to be taken care of compared to me. I can endure the pain while him, I think he can't because he has a big scrape on his arm," I told the nurse and she smiled at me.
"You do love him, right?" that nurse asked and I was caught off guard because it really surprised me.
"Huh?" My brows furrowed.
"I can tell that you are really worried about him," she stated that while smiling at me. Like, what the?
"A-ah," I ran out of words and I just shyly smiled back to her. I didn't bother to contradict what she said because I'm pretty sure, everyone believed that I'm Axis' fiancee.
After informing them that I need to go now, I stormed out of that room and waited for a taxi outside the hospital.
"Where are you going, Ma'am?" The taxi driver asked as I boarded.
Where should I go? I mean, where can I see that guy? I don't even know where he was.
Oh, I knew it. "Do you happen to know where the Averion Company is?" I asked the driver, hoping that he knows it.
"Yes Ma'am. Shall I take you there?" he asked, looking at me through the rear-view mirror.
"Yes, please." I answered then leaned back in my seat and breathe in relief. Good thing, Aishi once mentioned that to me, I mean the company owned by that guy.
Minutes of riding, the taxi driver dropped me off in front of a large company building. It was so so big, literally big, like those kind of buildings we usually see in the television and there's a big initial written on the upper part of its main door which is ‘AC’ and if I am not mistaken, I think it stands for Averion Company.
I went inside and I was greeted by a tall guard. When he let me in, I headed to the information table.
"Is Axis here?" I asked the ladies, there are three of them in the information table.
"Do you have any scheduled appointment to Mr. Averion?" the girl who is wearing a pencil cut skirt and a plain sleeveless top covered with blazer asked it on me.
"Ah... that? Actually I don't have any appointment to him. I just want to see him and give him back his things," I explained while raising the paper bag which contains Axis' things.
"I am sorry Ma'am but I can't—" The lady beside her suddenly stopped her from speaking. I even saw how she slightly nudge the woman I'm talking to.
"Don't you know het? That's Mr. Averion's fiancee," I heard the lady whispered to het and even saw how her eyes turned round because of shock. I just sighed while hearing them exchanging whispers. They really thought that Axis and I were a couple.
"Ah, I'm sorry Ma'am. His office is on the top floor. His secretary is there, you can ask for her help and she will assist you," she informed and seemed like she was embarrassed because of what she acted. I just gave her a smile and thanked her before heading straight to the elevator.
While waiting for the elevator to open, I can feel that everyone is looking at me but I didn't mind though. As the elevator opened, I quickly got in and some of the employees also went inside. I'm just smiling at them whenever they are waving at me. Some even asked if they could take a photo with me. Of course, it's my pleasure to do so.
When I got out of the elevator I immediately searched Axis' office. This is my first time to be here so I looked ignorant about the things I'm seeing. The building is too tall and this floor is too wide. Luckily, I saw a woman who's sitting in the cubicle so I quickly approached her, maybe it's his secretary.
"Excuse me. Where is Axis' office?" I asked her.
"Do you have an appointment with Mr. Averion?" she asked while her eyes were settled on the screen because she's busy typing something in front of her personal computer.
"I don't have any appointment to him. I just drop by because I'm gonna return his things." I responded.
"I'm sorry but — Miss Yasha?" she questioned me unbelievably. Her cute eyes grew bigger upon seeing me. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know right away that it was you," she quickly stood up and approached me. "Come here, Ma'am, follow me. I'll take you to Sir's office," she walked first and I followed her until we stopped in front of a brown door.
"Come in, Ma'am," she called me. I smiled at her and was about to enter but I stopped her.
"How did you know me?" I curiously asked. I just don't remember saying my name to her and it made me this curious.
"Oh, Ma'am. Who doesn't know you? You are a famous actress and a model, and you are also my boss's fiancee," she smiled but argh! Because of that news again! "Besides, my youngest brother is really your number one fan, Ma'am. You are really her idol," she added enthusiastically.
Big smile drew in my lips. "It flutters me, you know?" I laughed a bit, trying to talk to her casually. "Tell your youngest sibling that I am so thankful because of the support he's giving me and also for believing in me, alright?" Axis' secretary nodded. "What's your name by the way?"
"I'm Angeli, Ma'am," I offered her my hand for a handshake.
"It's nice meeting you, Angeli," she also told me the same thing that's why I smiled at her before finally entering Axis' office.
When I got inside, I noticed that his office was in black and white themed style. There's a mini bookshelves inside it. There's also a sofa set and two table chairs in front of his table. At the back of his swivel chair is a circle-like window which you can see the beautiful scenery below the building.
His office is not that plain. Actually if I were to describe it, it was clean and comfortable to stay at. All things were arranged accordingly. There are also some abstract paintings hanged on the walls and just by looking at the interior of his office, it was too obvious that the owner was a guy.
"What are you doing here?" I got back to my senses when I heard his voice. I was just too focused and was very pleased on how his office looks that's why I almost forgot my purpose of why I came here.
"And you? What do you think you are doing here? You just got treated for Pete's sake!" I hissed at him the moment I face him."I can now work. Did I worry you too much?" He grinned at me so I just rolled my eyes.He really thinks too highly of himself. Psh!"I came here to give you your phone," I put his phone on his table. "I think I need to throw this one. You can't able to use it again anyway," I'm referring to his damaged business suit and I'm wondering if he really wears something he already worn."There's the trash bin there," he pointed out the bin near the door and I threw the whole paper bag there."I had my phone back. You can go now," he pushed me away but instead of leaving, I just stared at him and did not listen to him. I sat on the sofa and leaned on it instead.I even frowned when my wounded arm touched the sofa. Aish! Such a clumsy one. Oh, speaking of wounds. I loo
It's been a week since that accident happened. I can say that my arm is all okay now since I can move it freely. It left a scar but I know it will be removed soon. The photoshoot was then postponed.When Aishi learned what happened to me, she was really damn worried about me. Even my parents. They learned what I've been through because it was immediately aired and reported in the breaking news the moment the accident happened.They even interviewed me to know what really had happened but I told them that it happened unexpectedly. Also, I told them that it was partly my fault so there's no need to blame the driver of that car, I mean the car who almost bumped me. You know, accidents happen unexpectedly, besides no one liked it. The important thing is that I and Axis are okay now.Some of my celebrity friends visited me at the mansion. Some also sent me messages and it's really an overwhelming on my part knowing that many are co
"Hey," Axis held my both arms and I heard him curse softly while looking at me. Then I felt him caressing my face."Stop crying. You are safe, okay? You are now safe," then he tuck my hair at the back of my ears after drying my tears using his thumb. "Let's go. I'll bring you home," and there, he held me in my shoulder and lead me on a walk.It was as if nothing had happened to me. I don't know how to feel. All I know is that my heart is still beating so fast until now. I'm just like a robot supported by Axis. I did not even realize that we were already inside the elevator.We went outside there after and I just found out that we were already in front of my unit. He asked for my pass code and clicked to open it."Yasha? Hey, Yasha," it was only then that I got back to my senses."A-ah," I responded and quickly wiped the tears from my eyes."Don't think about it anymore, okay? You are safe," he said, trying to calm me down and to ease what I
In less than just five minutes, I saw a black Subaru Forester that parked in front of my restaurant. I don't know if it's just me but the car looks familiar.W-wait? It was Axis' car. This is what he used before. My forehead furrowed and I was right when the door opened. It was really his.He got out of his car and he went inside my restaurant. With head held high, plus the fact that his height is shouting for extreme tallness, he walks as if he is joining a fashion model show and almost all of our female customers were staring and drooling over him. Not to mention, he's wearing a business suit which adds to his dominance, making him look more dashing.And wait? Did he really come here just to pick me up like what he has texted me?He stopped in front of me and smiled but I just frowned at him."What are you doing here?" I raised an eyebrow at him."I have texted you, haven't I?" he replied coolly while his hands were tucked in both of
While walking next to Axis, people who noticed me immediately flock in front of me."Guys! It's Miss Yasha! She's here!""Come on, let's take a picture with her!"They all scream just by the sight of me. I also heard group of women whisper then they all came near me. Some were already taking me photos."Excuse me. Miss Yasha, can I have a picture with you?" a woman asked, plastering a smile on her cute and chubby face."Oh sure," I agreed and they quickly stood next to me.With her friends, they are pointing each other who will take us pictures. Because I thought of something silly, I asked for their phone and took it from them then I looked at Axis."Ax, would you please?" I made a puppy eyes on him. Sure he knows what I mean. I saw his jaw tighten. I just secretly laughed when he took the cellphone from me.Upon capturing, people are already flocking in front of me, waiting for their chance to have a picture with me
"You misinterpreted it, Miss. I am not ruining your relationship, okay?" I explained. Just the thought of me ruining someone's relationship made me shiver. Like, hello? The hell I care about their relationship?"Shut up! It will not change the fact that you two fooled me!" she yelled at me, then she suddenly approached me. Since I am not aware of her action, this girl pulled my hair. What the hell?"Jenny, stop it!" that blonde guy tried to stop this woman, or let's say his girlfriend but this woman slapped me again.I pursed my lips, trying to restrain myself. Gosh, this skinny woman already slapped me twice. Is she abusing my kindness here?"JENNY!" this Jayvee guy stopped his girlfriend.Some of his male friends also stop her and Jayvee quickly pulled me away from Jenny. That's only when I noticed that we already got the attention of many people here and they are already watching us."I'm sorry, Miss Yasha," the blonde guy apologized to me, and
I was inside Axis' car, sitting on the shotgun seat while he's at the driver's seat, next to me. Until now, I still can't understand the strange feeling I had in me.Okay, he just told everyone that I am his fiancee. And so what? Maybe he did that just for publicity, right? Argh! Why this one is so big deal to me now?"Hey," using his fingers, Axis slightly flicked me on the forehead."What?" eyes with shooting daggers, I glared him then I shook my head to erase those thoughts running at the back of my mind. "Wait, where am I?" It was only then that I noticed the strange appearance of the things around me."You're inside my unit woman," Axis replied.My eyes grew large. "What the hell? Where am I?" I couldn’t help but raise my tone while repeating that question. Why am I here? What am I doing here in his unit?"Your mouth woman," he warned me."Why am I here?" I asked again, my voice is still in high tone. I never entered
"You're not joking, aren't you?" I couldn't believe what he just said but he just looked at me straight.He shook his head as his way of telling me that he is not joking at all. "The day when that news about us being engaged has spread, like what I have told you, your name is already attached to my name Yasha. Look, I am not doing this just for publicity, nor to protect our images but also to protect you," he elucidated at me."Look what have happened at the mall yesterday. Would you just let anyone call you names and let other people think that you really are? If I didn't come up on that scene to tell everyone that you are my fiancee, just like what the girl did, for sure people will also believe that you are a relationship wrecker. You get my point, Yasha Reese? I am doing this because I want to protect you," he added and a sincerity drew in his eyes as I stared him.He has a point somehow. If he did not appear, people will definitely think that I was a relations
Axis released one of my hands and stroke my cheek. I just stood quietly and just stared at him. Every word he says seemed to seal in my heart. Every opening of his mouth seemed to remind me how things between us started.My heart is beating so fast and it doesn't want to stop. Maybe because it was Axis who said all those words, and it's Axis—the guy who can only make my heart beats fast like this.Unannounced, he suddenly kneeled in front of me and I don't know how to stop my emotions anymore. Locking my eyes into his, he took out a small box on his pocket and as he opened it, a 10 carat chopard blue diamond ring with micro pave diamonds popped up in front of me. My tears just flowed as I stared straight at him."From this exact place and exact spot, and just like the same day when I first encounter you... Yasha Reese Heuson, I want you to marry me." I couldn't hold back my tears.He's right. This place is where it all started. This place is where
"On your pose." The photographer instructed Yasha and she has to follow what was being instructed to her. She's wearing a beige modified A-line gown, showing a dreamy and whimsical look on the camera.After all the things that happened, she is back to the thing she really wants to do, a place where she fits perfectly, that is the modeling industry and they are now rushing things for her 10th anniversary.Done with the laborious preparation they had, the day came for her agency to launch the magazine cover they had prepared.‘Yasha Reese Heuson graces the cover of the highly anticipated three-cover special of the Big Fashion Issue of Starlight Modeling Agency, celebrating her come back in the modeling industry as they launch their newest 10th anniversary magazine cover.’After all the trials she has gone through, at times when everyone is feasting her name because of the news related to her, despite the events where almost everyone has turned away and judged h
Axis' Point of ViewTime quickly passed by. I'm grateful that Yasha and I surpassed those things that happened between the two of us. For the second time around, issue about us came out again, but unlike before were people bombarded us especially Yasha with hateful comments, the reason of our previous issue is now being discussed.People learned that those things that happened were part of our sacrifices. As much as I want them not to bring back the topic, I can't control their thinking. In every issue, people always have their own point of view. So I can't blame them for whatever they want to say."Lando, how's my schedule today?""Sir, you are free the whole day," he answered.Lando was my new secretary. Regarding what happened with Angeli, I have to find for a new one as her replacement. I'm disappointed with her, but I actually understood her because she, me, and Yasha went through the same thing at Kelly's hands.About Lando, yes
For all the things Kelly Jocson had caused me, I abhor her, but thanks to her unsuccessful plan anyway. If it wasn't because of her stupidity, I should not have known Axis.That stupidity of hers is the reason why I have Axis in my life now, so despite the sufferings and the troubles she brought to us, that's one of the things I can be thankful for all she did.I left Angeli and Honeyleth after talking to them. If they're asking for my forgiveness, I could give it to them, but not at this moment. I understand them. I know all of us will do things even if it's against our will just to protect our loved ones. From the decision they made, I also understand them.I can actually forgive them, but what they did to me was really painful and they deserve to pay for the mistakes they made. I will go to them myself when my heart is ready to forgive them, but not now."Axis, hey! Get off me, will you? I might get burn." I laughed while trying to push him away.&nbs
"No. That's impossible! You can't do this to me, can you?" I couldn't find the right words to ask. This is not true. They are just fooling me."Ma'am Reese, s-sorry." And it was as if cold water had been poured on me when she said that. Sorry? Does that mean it's really true?"W-what? Why? What did I do to you? Tell me, what did I do to you?" My tears were already falling."Ma'am Reese, sorry. S-sorry." She apologized. She tried to hold my hand but I backed away from her."What's my fault with you?! Tell me, what's my fault with you, Honeyleth? Why are you doing this to me?!" I couldn't help but let out the resentment I was feeling.My gaze shifted between the two of them—Angeli and Honeyleth. Of all the people who can do this to me, why them? Why did they do this to me? How could they?"W-why? Tell me... why? I treated you like my family even though I'm not related to you. I've been a good person to the both of you, but why is this? Why did
"Do you know how dangerous that offer is? What if they killed you?You don't know who those men were! What if they did something to you knowing that you went there alone—" I immediately hugged Axis tightly and that caused him to stop talking."I don't mind how dangerous it was. I can say that everything is now okay, Axis. That is what all I want, to make everything all fine. I once sacrificed for your sake and I will not hesitate to do it again for you." I felt Axis hug me in return. I don't know how many minutes had passed since we had just hugged each other."I was afraid because of what you did, but you don't have any idea how proud I was woman." He gently stroke my hair and I squeezed my body to him even harder.All trials and tribulations have endings but that won't end if you don't fight back.I didn't stay long in the hospital after I woke up. To be honest, I'm so sick of it. Hopefully, this is really my last stay here because over the past few months,
Yasha slowly opened her eyes. With the strange yet familiar smell surrounding her, she knew she was inside the hospital again. She got up immediately but someone stopped him."Please, baby. Don't be such a hardheaded." She looked to her left and there she saw Axis next to her."What happened? Why am I here again? And Kelly, where is she? Did she escape again?" She continuously asked."Calm down woman, okay? Don't worry, your condition is okay and about Kelly, she's in the other room. They just need to clean up the graffiti she got. There were policemen guarding her and after her treatment, she will be directed to the precinct." She breathed a sigh of relief. After the sacrifices she had made, she did not know if Kelly would ever escape again.The doctor told her she was okay. She only lost consciousness because that was the effect of Kelly hitting her head. Fortunately, no infection had developed especially since she had just recovered from comatose.Wh
"Since we are complete here, why not hear my short story?" Kelly interfered. Her already trembling hand had become calm. She's holding the gun firmly now and her eyes were filled in wrath."There was these two people wherein both of their accounts were hacked. You know someone planned everything but unfortunately, the person she hired mistakenly hacked this girl's account. But she didn't mind though. She still continued her plan." Kelly started and the way she's holding the gun, it's as if she's stopping herself from the anger rummaging in her system."Then one day, they rushed her father in the hospital. Their company was also put in bankruptcy and the only way to keep it was to get this boy's help." A pair of crystal clear water dropped from her eyes."She's desperate to get what she wants that's why she threatened the boy to kill the woman he loves if he won't agree to her plan. And on the other hand, she also threatened the woman that she will kill the boy she
Third Person Point of ViewYasha pulled over the car in a fast speed. She doesn't care anymore. From that day on she had a hunch who was responsible for all this, but she did not know why it all came to this. Yes, she already had a hunch who's the hacker and it's not a he, but a she.What is her fault? What did she do to make her do this? Yasha still couldn't believe what was happening. She could not imagine nor remember what was the main reason for the hacker to be like this towards her.On the other hand, Axis is there, sitting in a chair, with his eyes blindfolded, his mouth closed, and his hands and feet were both tied.One hand violently removed the covering of his eyes and mouth. Axis then saw that he was surrounded by countless men having a muscular body, but all the more he could not believe the woman who's now walking towards his direction."What the fuck?" Axis can't believe what he was seeing, but the woman just grinned back at him before bow
