CHAPTER 99
TRIGGER WARNING: Suicide attempt, self-injury.
***
What Kelly's asking is not that easy. There are lot of factors to consider. Business is not just a game. Business undergoes processes. The process itself is hard. It can be laborious and complicated.The merging she's talking isn't just about the CEO and the people in the highest positions. The boards of the companies must approve any merger transaction first. State laws also require shareholder approval. To cut it short, even if I'm the CEO, the decision is not merely on me.
"I'm... I'm sorry. I u-understand." I let out a sigh again because of what she said. "I have to go." Kelly then stormed out my office.
I am always ready to help her. Like what I said, I am willing to help her but not this kind of thing.
Days passed and every time I'm seeing Kelly here in the company, she's just giving me smiles and then she passes me by. She never brought up the t

I quickly rushed Kelly to the hospital when she lost consciousness. She just lacerated her wrist in front of me! She's crazy!The doctor immediately studied the anatomy of her wrist. In her condition, the doctor told me that wrist laceration is going to depend on two things—the direction of the laceration, and the depth of the cut.The laceration ability to threaten life is dependent entirely upon whether or not the artery is lacerated and in her case, her wound is not that deep.Her attempt was categorized as nonlethal and the doctor did the hemorrhage control. Bleeding will stop on its own, but doctor said it's far better for her to have her wounds dressed and that's what they did.I covered my hand on my face while looking at Kelly whom until now still hadn't woken up after she was treated.What was she thinking? Just because of her situation, she thought of doing this thing? That she's hopeless and having no reason to live? She thought there's

After that day, I never saw Kelly again. I'm still mad at her. I didn't know that after all the things I have done to her, this is what she's going to do with me."Don't work too much. You're not okay yet." I reminded Yasha. She's been resting for weeks now after she was discharged in the hospital. The doctor said she's okay but I can't let her drawn herself in her work again."I'm okay, Ax. I'll just do a photoshoot today, nothing more." She pleaded."It's still a no, Yasha Reese.""Axis, please? Allow me to work now, please? Baby, please?" She asked with puppy eyes and even clung her hands on my nape. What else can I do? I tsk-ed but she just chuckled."Promise. I'll take care of myself." She told me.I also enveloped her in my arms. She doesn't need to take care of herself because I will be the one doing that. I'll take care of this woman in my whole life. I don't want to see her hurting because it triples the pain I'm feeling if that hap

As soon as Kelly closed the door, my gaze turned on the things she left just earlier. I blazingly looked at the paper, took it and crumpled it hard.Ahh! Fuck!After that conversation with her, she never showed up again and for few days, the deal she offered me really bothered me.That's easy after all, isn't it? I have two choices. I will help her so Yasha will not be hurt or to opted otherwise. I'll just choose one of the two choices she said. It's easy, isn't it? But fucking shit, why does she have to involve others? And why is she really targeting Yasha?I know in life that there is no end to our problems. When you're solving the first one, another problem will come. It's an unending cycle and that what's happening to me right now.I was inside my room, thinking what should I do when Yasha entered my room."Hey, woman. What brought you—""We have a problem, Axis." She quickly cut me off. She took out her phone and she handed it to me aft

I quickly followed Kelly and I didn't know why Yasha had to come out of the elevator coincidentally. Her head was bowed down, seemed to be out of herself. I wanted to run and hug her but something seemed to be holding me back."Nice timing." Kelly crazily uttered beside me. "If you love her then make a way to save her," she paused, "before it's too late Axis.""Fuck you, Kelly Jocson," I furiously muttered to her. She just smirked at me and suddenly she walked near Yasha, causing for her to lift her head up."The great schemer is coming." I wanted to hit Kelly that time. Damn her for calling my woman names."What are you doing here? Why don't you just go somewhere where you can gain fame?" I asked and fuck. Please understand me baby, I'm doing this for you.I know how Kelly plays a game. She's using dirty tactics. She doesn't care if she hurts someone else and she's more willing to hurt others just to get what she wants. All she thinks is herself a

Axis' Point of View—present—I did sacrifice our relationship because I don't want to risk Yasha's life but fuck! Why does this have to happen to her?I pushed her away so I could save her, but I didn't know that pushing her away will make her suffer. Seeing her like this is a fucking torture. Damn!I took her hand. I endure those times not holding her tight like this but now that I have the chance to, she's in this kind of pain.No one else has the right to be hurt like this. No one deserves to be hurt. No one deserves to be in pain like this. Fucking shit."You don't deserve this pain. You don't deserve even a bit of it, but I hurt you Yasha. I hurt you in order to save you. I hurt you thinking that it was the best for you but I was wrong. I was fucking wrong. I'm sorry baby I wasn't there to protect you. I'm sorry I wasn't there save you. I'm really sorry."I caressed her face while still holding her hand tightly. Whoever did this to you

"Sir, are you really sure about the merger agreement with Jocson Group of Companies? If that happens, for sure even the employees will be affected or maybe the others will lose their jobs. Isn't it too sudden?" Angeli dared to ask while fixing and sorting out all the papers in the cabinet."You think it was a wrong decision for me to continue that merger agreement?" I asked back, it's kind of asking some advices, but I saw how confused she was to let go of the folders she was holding after she heard my question."S-sorry, Sir Averion. You're wrong about what I asked. That's not what I meant. S-sorry." She bowed in front of me, still bewildered. She nervously squeezed her hand while bowing her head in front of me."There's nothing to say sorry about Angeli. I was just asking." I cleared. She misunderstood it. She thought I was mocking her question where in fact I'm asking for her thoughts about my decision.I sat on my swivel chair and started to read so

Done with his announcement, Mr. Blake approached me and handed me a folder."That's the bankruptcy documents I got. Merging a company whose facing bankruptcy adds another layer of risk for us to take. That means, we cannot just merge with JGC not knowing its condition. You don't want us to get involved in the problem they are facing, do you, Mr. Averion?" He asked while showing me the paper."T-that's impossible! Our company is not facing b-bankruptcy. That's not true!" Kelly protested and the board members as well as the shareholders exchanged various reactions.I didn't mind them anymore. I just opened the folder and something inside me is raging in fire while reading what's written on the document."Do you know a thing about this matter?" I asked as I landed my eyes on her but she quickly avoided looking at me."I don't know. I d-didn't know." She stuttered."Kelly Jocson," I warned but she stayed silent on her sit, still avoiding my gaze.
Playful Fate CHAPTER 107
Yasha's Point of ViewAfter almost a month of sleeping and doing nothing, by the mercy of God, I was able to wake up. I don't know what was exactly happened to me. I don't know why I have to wake up lying on this bed feeling sickly. I don't know how I got injuries on my body. I don't know who did this to me.There is so much I can't remember the day I opened my eyes. When I woke up, I couldn't move, I could barely speak; and my vision was blurry. And because of that, I had to do some physical therapy to regain my ability to walk. I feel my body so weak that it would take time to finally regain my strength.The doctors tested the activity of my cerebral cortex using electroencephalograph or EEG. The tests consist of subjecting different auditory stimuli, then observing the reaction of my brain. They say this treatment helps preserve brain function which will help me remember.Geez! I don't know what really happened because I woke up knowing nothing at all.
