~DAHLIA~ Axel held me in his arms for what felt like hours without saying anything. When I had calmed down, he pulled away from me slightly and stared down at my face. “Tell me everything" Axel murmured as he caressed my face and I found myself telling him everything. About our parents' relationsh
~DAHLIA~ Just like I had expected, Damian was pissed off when I came down for breakfast with Axel. “How the fuck were you able to get in through the gates without my guards knowing?" Damian uttered as he walked towards us and Axel shrugged. “Who said I had to use the gate?" Axel replied and Damia
~DAHLIA~ I could see that Axel had changed in the way he treated me. He made sure he was careful and always made sure I was okay with whatever he wanted to say or do. I knew he was just trying to be careful but the effort was sweet. We got to the mall and bought everything for a picnic. The weathe
~DAHLIA~ Axel growled and grabbed the blond guy by the throat. “Do you really want to do this in front of humans? We are around children and if I'm angry, I might just kill them before you kill me" The blond guy choked out. “I don't give a damn" Axel muttered as his fingers tightened around his n
~DAHLIA~ On the way back home, Axel kept trying to call Kade but it seemed Kade was ignoring his calls. “Just wait till I fucking get my hands on you" Axel muttered as he tried the number again but still no response. Since he was angry, I decided to give him some space and stare out the window bu
~DAHLIA~ I stood there in shock as I stared at Axel. Kade was his step brother? Huh? “What? Are you being serious?" I questioned and he sighed before nodding. “My father had an affair with his mother when I was very young. Kade began staying with us when I was eight and he was six" He muttered an
~DAHLIA~ As we got closer to the waiting room where they were, we could hear Louis conversing with them. We walked into the room and they all immediately went quiet as they turned to us. “It's really you, oh dear" A middle aged woman uttered as she stood up and walked up to Damian. “Do you reme
~DAHLIA~ I stared at Axel in shock and his expression mirrored mine. “Wait what? Does that mean he knew the cure was my blood all along?" I questioned and he shook his head. “His mother probably didn't tell him. No wonder he didn't have the curse, she must have snuck the blood into his food or so
~Dahila~ (Three years later.) "Mummy, Mummy! We've got a surprise for Daddy!" Hannah, my energetic three-year-old, exclaimed, waving a giant lollipop in my face. Her twin brother, Huxley, was hot on her heels, also clutching a colorful lollipop. I could tell by the mischievous grins on their fac
~Axel~ Overwhelmed, I stumbled out of the hospital into the night air, my hands shaking, my heart racing, and my mind reeling with worry. The cold wind buffeted me, but I hardly felt it, my thoughts consumed by Dahlia's plight. Self-blame and helplessness washed over me like a wave, leaving me fe
~Damian~ I've been taking care of Dahlia for two weeks now, despite her constant tantrums. Ironically, she's been supportive in her own way, eating and drinking enough to sustain her energy for daily door-banging and screaming sessions. As I waited for her food, my phone rang, and I saw Kade's na
Damian lingered, trying to persuade me to eat, but I remained silent, unresponsive. Eventually, he surrendered, scooping me up in his arms and placing me on the bed. He covered me with the duvet, his sigh heavy with concern. As he left the room, the lock clicked into place, a vivid reminder of m
~Dahlia~ As we drove, I could feel Axel's gaze on me, but I refused to acknowledge it. I was determined to maintain my silence, no matter how long it lasted. The car's engine hummed smoothly, a complete difference to the tension between us. I had overheard him arranging for my brother to pick me u
~Dahlia~ Axel gently set me down on my feet inside the cabin, and I couldn't help but look at him, my face growing warm with emotion. He was so attentive, so caring... I was captivated by his presence. "I'll get a fire going," he said, his eyes never leaving mine. I nodded, taking a seat on the
~Axel~ Feeling drained, I headed to the kitchen to grab a refreshing glass of water. As I walked, I heard a faint rustling sound, making it clear that Kade was still in the mansion. I wondered if he had returned to fetch some documents. Curiosity got the better of me, so I made my way to the offi
~Dahlia~ I was very perplexed when Anastasia took me to the mall. We had a blast together, buying loads of clothes we didn't really need, but it was still an enjoyable experience. The highlight of my day was meeting a girl named Alisha. She was incredibly kind and friendly, and we hit it off inst
~Kade~ I paced around the room, feeling frustration and worry build up inside me. This was a disaster! A real disaster! Axel and Dahlia had no memory of each other, their past experiences together erased. Yet, they still seemed drawn to each other. Why?! How?! Ever since Axel had Dahlia’s boyfrie
