Redemption: The president's second Chance Chapter 48
Axel's Pov As Leah came down from the car, I removed my glasses and waggled my eyebrows, "Hey baby," I said as I placed my hand on the car window. Leah sighed and came over to the driver's seat window, "Hey baby," she replied. I smiled and said, "Have a good day, baby. Remember to stay safe always." Leah rolled her eyes and said, "I'm just going to check out the store I will be using. I'll be home before you guys." I nodded and placed my hand on my cheek. Leah looked at me and asked, "What do you want?" I smiled and said, "Goodbye kiss." Leah smiled and agreed. She moved closer to me, and I edged closer, anticipating the kiss. But instead, Leah smirked and tugged at my ear, "My body is aching from your torment last night. Instead, have a nice time reconciling with your son." Leah then smiled at Jasper, who was busy tapping on his tablet in the passenger seat. "Goodbye, sweetheart," she said as she waved at Jasper. Jasper flashed her a smile, and I looked at Leah, feeling aggriev

Axel's Pov"And a perfect smile, please," the photographer said as lights continued to flash around us. Several minutes later, we walked out of the studio, and Leah asked, "Why did you insist on having a family picture taken?""I want a memorable time between us," I replied as I helped them settle into the car. "Aren't you coming home with us?" Leah asked as she helped Jasper adjust his seat belt.I gripped the door tightly. "I still have some files to sort in the office, but I will be sure to return early," I said as I kissed her forehead. "Okay," Leah said. "Drive safe," she waved at me as the car drove off.I looked at the car until it was gone, then I sighed deeply and muttered, "I am sorry, Leah.""You have a meeting with M&D group of company at noon, and it's already 11:30 am. Should I drive straight to the cafe?" Derek asked as soon as I got into the car. I nodded in response and closed my eyes to rest.I could feel my heart beating fast on my chest, everything was happening in

Leah's PovTwo days laterAt the mourning hallI took a deep breath as I soaked in the weight of the devastating news that had shattered my world. "My whole world has shattered before me. This news is unbelievable," I murmured, my voice choked with emotion. "Is this how people die? You are with them one minute, and they are gone in just a second." I found it hard to comprehend the suddenness of Axel's departure. "No wonder people say the difference between death and life is just a second," I whispered to myself. "I just can't believe this. This is not the type of life I dreamed of."Tears blurred my vision as I continued to wrestle with the cruel reality. "I thought everything had been settled. I thought... since Sara had been caught and Lousianna taken away by the Montgomery family, my life could go back to being peaceful." The bitterness of disappointment laced my words. "Why is it that bad things always happen to good people? Why is it that I just can't have peace and joy like ot

Leah's Pov "Mom!" I called out, my voice quavering as I sat up with difficulty.Leah, dear," Mom said as she walked towards me, "I will take my leave then," the doctor said as he walked out."Mom, what's going on?" I asked, struggling to comprehend what they had just said.Mom looked at me and smiled, "You are pregnant, dear. There is a little life growing in you," she said as she gently placed her hand on my stomach. My gaze was unfocused as I gently rubbed my stomach. "I am pregnant?" I muttered. "How come? When did this happen?" The foetus is in an unstable condition, you need to stop drinking Leah, if not for yourself, for your unborn baby," Mom said as she walked out of the room.I pursed my lips, my voice quivering. "Axel, I am pregnant. I am carrying your baby," I said slowly, tears rolling down my cheeks. With my hands shaking, I searched the bedside table and brought out a frame. It was the picture of Axel and me on the day he died. I looked at his smiling face, my heart s

Leah's PovA month laterAJL group of companies, Conference hall"President Leah, we have accepted you as the president of the company, fine, but what do you have to give in return?" Director Kiln's imposing voice cut through the tense atmosphere. I could feel the weight of their skepticism bearing down on me. I squinted my eyes, knowing Director Kiln to be the hardest nut to crack among the directors. .When I first stepped into this role, he had refused, citing that he could not let a woman lead him. However, I managed to convince them with my shares, as I was the highest shareholder, leaving them no choice but to accept me.Leading a pack of cunning men is surely the hardest thing ever. Your every decision, step, and achievement are being scrutinized by these old foxes. Each move I make feels like walking on a thread of ice, I thought to myself, steeling my resolve."What do you mean, President Kiln?" I asked, meeting his gaze unwaveringly."President Leah, what Director Kiln is

Leah's Pov"Axel! Axel!" I called out anxiously as I hurried into the condo. My heart raced as I frantically searched for any sign of my husband's return. Just beside the shoe rack were a pair of...male shoes. Was Axel really home? My breath came in gasps as I dashed into the living room, shouting, "Axel!" But there was no sign of him, or Jasper. "Granny Ruth, where are you?!" I called out, feeling a sense of desolation as the house remained silent, like a graveyard that I dreaded. Was it all a dream? Could I be hallucinating? My mind raced with questions as I walked into the garden, devastated by the absence of my family.As I scanned the garden, my eyes caught sight of a shadow standing under the cherry blossom tree. The delicate flowers were in full bloom, creating a picturesque scene. The figure stood with its back facing me, and as I approached, I recognized the familiar stance. The back... it was just like Axel's. "Axel!!" I screamed as I ran towards the figure, tears flo

Leah's Pov "You aren't Axel, right?" I said, pulling my gaze away from him."What do you mean, I am not Axel? Of course, I am Axel. I am your husband, Leah. What do you mean?" the man replied, flustered. I clenched my fists tight; I had been so stupid that I couldn't even recognize Axel on first glance. I turned towards him. "You are Axel, right?" I asked.Axel nodded his head. "Of course, I am Axel," he said."Why did you love touching my waist?" I asked him. 'Axel' looked at me, short of words. "I... I..." he said, unable to gather his thoughts together.I facepalmed. "Oh my god, I have truly been deceived. You are with them, right?" I asked him, indicating to the men who were watching us.The supposed Axel scoffed. "So, you are just knowing that I am not your husband. Tsk, tsk," he stood up and removed the mask on his face.My tears fell freely down my eyes, my fists clenched. Standing before me was a man with an angular fat face, his face white probably from the impact of the ma

Leah's Pov The next day,Police stationAs I sat opposite Kian, a sense of unease prickled at me. His smug demeanor and the way he carried himself in his prison clothes with an air of arrogance made me wary. "How are you doing, Kian?" I asked, keeping a composed facade. "Thanks to you, I am where I never thought I could be," he replied arrogantly, raising his handcuffed hands."You brought this upon yourself," I stated firmly, leaning closer to him. "Besides, I have a question to ask you." I held his gaze, searching for any sign of sincerity. "Did you approach me because of the formula?" I couldn't shake the doubt that had been gnawing at me since last night. Kian's sudden appearance, his behavior—everything felt off. I was tired of people approaching me for ulterior motives, and the uncertainty was weighing heavily on me.Kian met my gaze, a smirk playing on his lips. "What do you think?" he said, waggling his eyebrows provocatively. Frustration and sadness welled up inside me

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? The weight of worry and questions filled my heart when I found out that he had gone alone to face M but fell into M's traps instead. "Men! 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

Axel's Pov"Jasper recognized you at first glance," Leah asked me with wide eyes. I nodded as I stroked her hair. "You both deceived me. 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.
