~AXEL~ I stared into Dahlia's face for any kind of judgment or disgust but she just stared at me with love. “I had a feeling that was the case" She murmured and my eyes widened slightly. “Really?" I asked and she nodded. “And I'm glad you did, they deserved it for making your childhood so horrib
~DAHLIA~ I was surprised that Axel hadn't followed me into the bathroom. I had intentionally left the door slightly opened. I shook my head as I tied a towel around my chest. Axel was slowly turning me into a sex addict. I walked out of the bathroom and paused slightly when I glanced at Axel who
“I'm done with this" He uttered and I smiled before standing up as well. I walked up to him and held his face, forcing him to stare at me. “Don't be a big baby. All that matters is that you tried your best and I honestly like it so we'll take it with us" I muttered and Axel shook his head. He was
~Dahlia~ I stood aside as I watched Axel pace around making several calls. He already made a call to get his jet ready and now he was making calls to see how the situation was like back home. He even tried calling Kade but Kade wasn't picking up. “Dammit" He muttered as he ran his fing
~DAHLIA~ I groaned slightly as I opened my eyes but was met with darkness. I tried moving around then froze when I realized I was bound to a chair with chains. They weren't silver though so that was a relief. “Help!" I yelled as loud as I found while I struggled to free myself. I winced slightly
~DAHLIA~ I was knocked out of my trance when I heard Axel groan. “Axel!" I screamed as I tried reaching out for him but Kade held the chair down. “Dahlia calm down, okay? You'll hurt yourself" Kade muttered and I turned to glare at him. “What are you doing? What is all of this? Why are you doin
~DAHLIA~ I stood there in silence and Kade told me about all the bad things Axel has done. I knew about the killings and the raping of women but the way Kade said everything with so much detail made my skin crawl. I turned to Axel and he still wasn't saying anything nor giving anything out with hi
~DAHLIA~ “No please! Kade stop!" I yelled as Jax dragged me out of the room. The door immediately closed behind us and I could hear Axel groaning and howling in pain as Kade tortured him. “Please I'm begging you Kade! Please stop!" I cried out as tears streamed down my face. I knew he was angry an
~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
