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
Axel's PovJasper climbed up on the bed and sat between Leah and me, "You guys slept together last night and you didn't even bother calling me," Jasper pouted, his face turning cute. "Don't you guys want me anymore?" he asked sadly. I looked at Leah, "Ahh, we told you we don't want you anymore, come on, let's go back to bed, let's go," I said as I placed my legs on Jasper and lay down on the bed.Leah facepalmed and stood up from the bed, "Two babies," she muttered as she walked into the bathroom."Axel," Jasper called out. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He pursed his lips and looked at me with a serious expression, "What's going on between you and mommy?" he asked me.I felt my throat tighten, unsure of what to say. How the hell do I reply to him? Should I say, "Oh Jasper, your mom and I are already dating"? That would sound ridiculous for a young child.I struggled for the right word to say, but it keeps on failing me. "Are you dating Mommy now?" he asked me. I widened my eye
Axel's Pov"What's going on here?" Leah asked, dropping the groceries on the table. She stood with her hands on her hips, giving Jasper and me a scrutinizing look. I sat up suddenly, positioning myself with my legs folded on the floor, as if in meditation, and placed Jasper in front of me, mimicking my posture. Leah looked around the messy room with a stern expression. "Why is this place all messed up? And where did all these toys come from?" she demanded. "We're just trying to pass the time," I stammered, unsure of how to explain the chaos. Leah scoffed, "Trying to pass the time, and this place is a disaster. Who brought all these toys?" she pointed at the scattered toys around the room. Clearing my throat, I struggled to come up with an explanation. Jasper looked at me and spoke up, "Axel brought them." Leah turned to me with a disapproving gaze. "You don't know what to do with your money, do you," she said, a hint of disappointment in her voice. I sat in silence, not knowin
Leah's PovAs i opened the bedroom door and could no longer hear Axel's voice, I assumed he had made his way to the living room. A sense of disappointment washed over me, thinking he had not waited for me for long before leaving. "Aiyaa," I exclaimed as I saw Axel sitting by the door, dozing off. It was evident he was tired. I bent down, gently poking his cheek. He slowly opened his eyes and asked, "No longer angry?"I looked at him and shook my head, replying, "I can't be angry at you for long." My affection for him was clear as I poked his cheek. Axel smiled, and as i bit your lower lip, i found my self falling deeper and deeper for him, unable to stop myself from this pit called love.With a playful chuckle, Axel pulled me closer, his breath against my cheek making my face go red. Suddenly, he swept me up in bridal style and carried me into the bedroom, saying, "Let me show you how much I care for you," before closing the door with a bang. Sighing, I looked out of the
