Axel's Pov

Beep, beep, beep

The sound of my wristwatch beeping startled me. I glanced back at the building, muttering Leah's name in concern. Without a moment's hesitation, I unbuckled my seatbelt and dashed out of the car. The continuous beeping of the wristwatch amplified my anxiety as I ran towards the building. "Is Leah okay?" I pondered anxiously, my heart pounding in my throat.

My panic intensified as I reached the entrance and noticed the out-of-order sign on the elevator. I swiftly made my way to the staircase and began climbing, each step heightening my sense of urgency.

"This is why I didn't want her to go alone," I muttered to myself, recalling Jasper's warning to ensure his mother's safety during our undertaking. The weight of responsibility and guilt gnawed at my mind.

"If anything should happen to Leah, I will never forgive myself," I vowed, fueled by fear and determination.

By the time I reached the eleventh floor, I was sweating profusely, my breaths coming in ragged

    Leah's PovAs I saw Sara being brought in, my heart sank. I never wanted things to escalate to this. I thought we were going to have a nice talk, but who knows what had gotten into Sara. She attacked me suddenly, with a knife."What, are you here to mock me?" Sara said immediately after she sat down. "You go about snatching people's husband. Louisiana will deal with you," she said, her voice filled with anger and resentment.I looked at her and felt a wave of pity. "You are so pathetic, Sara," I said softly, trying to keep my composure. Sara looked at me angrily. "Who is pathetic? Repeat that again," she demanded, her eyes shimmering with anger."Don't you know you are pathetic? Louisiana made you do this, and now you are in prison. Do you think she will help you? She won't. She just used you and dumped you," I spoke with a note of sadness.Sara looked at me with a glint flashing across her eyes. "Who told you Louisiana used me?" she said, feigning ignorance. I sighed and brought out

"Sorry, Mrs. Russo," he said.I looked at him and nodded. "Good. What do you want?" I asked."Actually," he said, "today is your big day, so I thought I might help you a little. I invited a whole squad of makeup artists to come and do your beautiful face," he said excitedly.I looked at the idiot, trying my best to quell my anger. "Marion," I called through gritted teeth."Yes, ma'am," he said, grinning from ear to ear.I clenched my fist tight, trying to control my anger. "Oh, ma'am, you are blushing with happiness," he said happily.I threw my makeup brush at him and screamed, "I am blushing with anger, you idiot! Have you ever seen me call in any makeup squad?" Marion placed his fingers into his mouth, "But...they are one of the best in the country," he said.I couldn't control my anger again. I stood up and slapped him at the b

    Leah's PovI clenched my fists tight as I watched Lousianna walking towards me. "Who is Leah?" someone asked. Lousianna approached me and said, "Hello Leah, I never believed you would make it to my wedding, after all that happened." She hugged me, and I smirked underneath the mask. "What a liar," I thought inwardly, "those who see her will think she is loving and kind."As Lousianna let go of me, she somehow managed to remove my mask. I looked at her, short of words, tightening my fist. "You shouldn't be covering your face, you should be open to everyone," she said. "No one will discriminate you because you are a thief; everyone has their reasons for doing things, right?" She turned towards everyone in the garden, smiling. However, everyone had a disgusting look on their faces. "Isn't she the one who stole Lousianna's design?" someone asked, disgust evident in their voice."Oh my," someone exclaimed covering their necklace, "I need to insure my necklace now, what if she steal it."

    Axel's PovAs I anxiously glanced at my watch, concern for Leah gnawed at me. I had opposed this plan from the start, but Leah had reassured me that everything would be fine. But now, as the minutes ticked by, my unease intensified.Marvin approached me with a glass of wine. "How are you doing?" he inquired. Offering a small nod, I replied, "Cool." As Tony and Joel joined us, Tony remarked, "The groom is here, ever handsome." We raised our glasses in a toast, but Joel noticed my unease. "You looked worried," he noted as he sipped his wine. Tony, trying to lighten the mood, humorously insinuated, "Maybe he is worried someone will disturb him and his wife on their wedding night." Tony then placed a comradely hand on my shoulder, teasingly offering to share tips on how to make my wife endlessly in love with me. Irritated, I retrieved my phone from my pocket and dialed Tony's father's number. His playful demeanor vanished, replaced by fear. "Why are you calling my dad?" he stammered.

    Leah's Pov"Axel!!" I screamed, frozen in shock as I witnessed him take the bullet meant for me. Blood splattered across my face and my heart pounded in panic as Axel slowly went down, his eyes weakly closing. "Axel," I sobbed, dropping to my knees beside him."Someone call an ambulance!" a voice cried out as the chaos swirled around us. Through the commotion, Axel weakly called my name, a faint smile ghosting across his lips. "Leah," he said, his voice barely a whisper. "Please hold on, the ambulance will be here soon," I pleaded, cradling his head in my lap, desperate to offer him comfort in his final moments.Axel's hand reached for mine, the warmth of his blood staining my skin as he held on tightly. "Please don't leave me," I sobbed, my heart aching as I gazed into his piercing blue eyes. Even though I had tried to protect myself from being hurt by him, I couldn't deny the overwhelming rush of love that coursed through me as I watched him slip away."Leah," Axel called my n

    Axel's PovI murmured weakly as I struggled to open my eyes. "Ahh, who the hell told the doctors to give me a sedative," I thought to myself, feeling like the world was spinning before me."Leah, can you see the grim reaper? The grim reaper is here!" Tony exclaimed dramatically, catching my attention. I slowly sat up on the bed, wincing in pain. I glanced at Tony, who was lying on the floor, with Marvin holding his hands in feigned mockery. Joel scoffed as he continued clicking on his tablet, seemingly unfazed by the theatrics around him.Looking around, I noticed that the people in the room were completely unaware of my consciousness. "The grim reaper is here to take me away," Tony continued dramatically, stretching his arms into empty space. Marvin then joined in, holding Tony's hands and speaking as if he were leah. "Please listen to me, Axel. You can't leave me, you can't go. What do I do?" Marvin said, pretending to be Leah, his voice filled with mock concern.Tony coughed e

    Axel's PovDerek's words lingered in the air as I listened intently. "Sir, I have already dispatched the men, but gaining entrance into that place is really hard, as every inch of the place is filled with able-bodied men," he explained. "Able-bodied?" I scoffed, my determination unwavering. I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car, heading towards the entrance of the warehouse. One of the men approached me, addressing me respectfully, "Young master Axel." I nodded but was abruptly stopped as they barred my way, with one of them stating, "You can't go in."My frustration peaked. "Why can't I go in?" I questioned, ready to defy them. "This is not the place where you are supposed to be," they insisted. Without a second thought, I reacted impulsively, landing a punch on the man's nose. "Just for Leah, I am willing to go to any length," I proclaimed, my emotions running high.The situation escalated as the men I had placed on ambush arrived, and a fierce fight broke out. Using th

    Axel, I screamed, watching in horror as he fell to the ground, his eyes closing. I rushed to his side and shook him, calling his name desperately. "Axel, please, wake up," I pleaded, feeling a surge of panic swelling within me. He looked disoriented, a faint smile lingering on his lips. Was he faking it? Had he actually fainted, or was it a ploy to deceive me once again?"Derek, what's happening? Is he okay?" I asked, my voice laced with worry. Derek quickly knelt beside us, his eyes filled with concern. "The ambulance is here, Ms. Leah. They'll take care of him," Derek assured me, gesturing to the approaching medical team. Axel was swiftly placed on a stretcher and taken into the ambulance, leaving me feeling helpless and anxious.Minutes later, a doctor approached me with reassurance. "Everything is fine, miss. Axel was just short on blood, but he's stable now," the doctor informed me.I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding and followed the doctor inside. Seeing Axel

    Leah's PovI took a desperate breath, relief flooding through me as the police arrived. It was short-lived, however, as M suddenly held my neck and placed a knife against my skin, sending a shiver of fear through my body. "Stay where you are," M screamed, his voice filled with a chilling intensity. As his grip tightened, and the knife inched closer, I felt like I was on the brink of death. This type of scene had always seemed like a distant nightmare, only seen in movies. I pleaded silently with the police in my mind, "Please don't come closer," I thought, feeling the cold touch of the blade against my skin. I was never this close to death before, and the fear was suffocating.The police stood still, unsure of their next move. "Drop your weapons," they called out, trying to remain in control of the situation. "So that you can arrest me? Not possible," M sneered, his voice filled with defiance. "If you're going to get me, I'd rather go down with one person," he threatened, sending a

    Leah's Pov,The room was quiet, except for the TV's voices that suddenly caught my attention. "Master, Little Red, called out as he stood up abruptly looking at the TV. I turned to look at the screen and saw Axel being handcuffed and taken away by the police. My heart skipped a beat. "Axel?!" I muttered, blinking my eyes, hoping it was just a dream. I reached for my phone to call him, but it wasn't going through. Panicked, I turned to Little Red. "Let's go," I said, my voice filled with worry."Leah, Hannah called after me, but I refused to wait. My heart filled with worry, "Axel, that liar," I screamed in my heart. I felt like tearing his face apart. As we sat in the waiting room, I hoped that it was all a lie. How could Axel be arrested?

They are scum," I seethed in anger.Suddenly, Axel was walked in by a police officer, his clothes changed i

    Axel's Pov"Master, this is where the guy confessed to meet with M, during their mission," Little Nine said as soon as we came to a stop.I looked over at the clinic. It was a private hospital with a huge sign that read Milka Hospital. It had been in existence for over six years now, and it was rumored that the doctor had a magic touch. However, his face was never seen as he always wore a mask whenever he saw patients."That's pretty normal; most doctors always wear a nose mask when they are at work," I said to Little Nine."I know master, but his is quite different. Even the workers at the hospital never saw his face before," Little Nine said.I gently rubbed my lips with my thumb. "Always wearing a mask, was he afraid that his scar would scare people away?"Are the backups here yet?" I asked Little Nine as I made to go out."Yes, master, they are already here," Little Nine replied. I nodded and got down from the car. "Stay alert," I said to him.As I got to the entrance of the clini

You are going to receive your punishment," I said to him."I am willing to receive anything," he said, locking gaze with me. "Gosh, how can he be so handsome," I muttered. "So what's the surprise?" i asked her.Leah looked at me and smiled. "I... she said, poking my chest, am... pregnan... my," she said to me slowly."Okay," I nodded. Leah looked at me, confused. "Was that the reaction you are supposed to have, she asked. I looked at her, suddenly, I came to a realization. "What?!" i exclaimed. "You are pregnant?" i asked her, my eyes shining. "When, how, how come I didn't know about it?" I asked her as i gently placed my hand on her stomach. "It happened after you 'died'," she said, looking at me. I grinned as I continued rubbing her stomach, smiling stupidly. "How many months is it now?" i asked her. I looked at her as she made the calculatio

    Leah's PovAt the hospital,"Doctor How is he?" I asked anxiously, looking at the doctor.The doctor looked at me with a reassuring smile. "It's nothing serious. He just passed out from shock. The wounds are not too deep. You can go see him now," the doctor said before walking away.I entered the room, and the space was quiet, save for the constant beeping of the machine. I looked at Axel's pale face, my eyes stinging as I held back tears. Memories of his betrayal and the pain he had caused me flooded my mind. I felt torn between wanting to leave and never look back, and staying by his side, conflicted by my lingering feelings for him.I stood by the ward door, not wanting to move closer to him."Leah," Axel called out, jolting me back from my thoughts. I looked at him, his pale face crunched in pain as he struggled to sit up on the bed. "I need to go," I said, my voice strained, as I turned to leave."Leah, please, listen to me," Axel pleaded with a soft and gentle voice. His words

    Axel's Pov "Your majesty!! Your breakfast is ready," Daniel said as he brought my breakfast to me. "Wow! You are really conscious of your body shape, riding a stationary bike this morning. I really need to applaud you," Daniel said, fawning."What do you want?" I asked him without looking at his face."President Axel," he said, and bent down to help me massage my leg.I looked at him, his smile spreading across. "Brother Axel, what would you say about my performance when I was your secretary?" he asked.I sighed. To be truthful, Daniel had outdone himself. He was really proficient and efficient. The professor had been very happy and had continued threatening him with a blind date, so that he could keep working in the company."Good," I said."Awwwn! I am blushing," he said, grinning, the tips of his werewolf teeth showing as he looked at me, his cheeks tinged with red. "You've never complimented anyone before," he said."Didn't I deserve an award?" he said, searching my eyes."What d

    Leah's Pov,"Ms. Leah, here is the list of the people in the Montgomery family," Derek said as he passed me a small booklet. "You have to be careful; they are not the people you can joke with. They are extra dangerous," he said. I nodded, scanning through the file with a furrowed brow, taking in Derek's warning seriously.We arrived at the Montgomery estate, and all I could say was wow, this is... at the gigantic gate of the estate stood two large lions made of rare rubies. We underwent intense security checks at the gate before being allowed entry into the estate. The level of security was staggering.The house was surrounded by a meticulously manicured garden, with winding paths and intricate statues. The roof was curved and tiled, reminiscent of traditional Chinese architecture. The windows were arched and adorned with delicate detailing. The doors were made of dark wood, with latticework panels inlaid with elaborate designs, exuding a sense of tranquility and timeless elegance.

    Leah's Pov"Why did you do this, Leah?" John asked, looking at me with concern. I ignored his gaze and looked straight at Axel. My mind raced with questions. Would he support me and help me? Would he reveal his true self? I anxiously awaited his response.Axel looked away from me, his demeanor nonchalant, as if I were not even visible. My heart clenched, and I felt like I was in a hot furnace, my emotions overwhelming me. Could it be....... Was he not Axel? I had questions, but he remained mute, refusing to reveal anything. Frustrated, sad, and tired, I looked around at the people working. "I will get to the bottom of this. Don't worry, keep on working," I assured the designers as I walked out to make a call. "Hey Michael," I said slowly. "Leah, what's wrong? You sound sad," Michael responded. "I am fine. I just need a little help from you," I said, trying to steady my voice.Several minutes later, several women walked into the backstage, their figures and beauty lighting up the

    Axel's Pov8 hours ago,At the airport,"Brother Liam, you have to wait for some time, the car will be here soon," Daniel said, his voice filled with assurance. "Okay," I nodded, my fingers tapping away on my phone. It had been a long day, traveling from one country to another for a business collaboration. All I wanted was to fall into a deep sleep."Axel!" a cute voice shouted, causing me to snap out of my daze. I furrowed my brow, wondering if my ears were playing tricks on me. Couldn't be... I turned around and was met with the sight of Jasper. He was sporting shorts and a checkered shirt, paired with stylish sunglasses. His chubby, round face bore a striking resemblance to mine. My heart ached with longing to hug him and ruffle his hair; oh, how I missed my son. But then I hesitated. "Sorry, you've got the wrong person," I told him."You're not Axel?" Jasper asked, peering directly into my eyes as he took off his sunglasses."I am not," I replied, trying to maintain composure.
