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

    Axel's Pov I hummed gently as I listened to the cool, gentle music while vacuuming the floor. "Ahh," I sighed gently, "What a cool evening." The door suddenly burst open and Daniel briskly walked in. "What's wrong with you?" I said, looking at him in disgust. "Are you being chased by thousands of demons?" I asked, but he ignored me and sat on the sofa. "Here's the pig liver you wanted," he said, dropping it on the table unceremoniously.I rolled my eyes and continued cleaning. "Your house looks like a pigsty. Why is there dust everywhere?" I asked him as I cleaned the shelf. "What do you expect of a programmer's house?" he said, closing his eyes to rest. "Eww," I exclaimed as I cleaned the shelf. "You are such a... what should I call you?""And when was the last time you ate this pizza? Why did you have to hide the pack behind the shelf?" I asked him as I pulled out pizza boxes. "I hid it there because I don't want to hear your nagging," he replied. I continued nagging him abou

    Leah's PovAs I sat in the bedroom, flipping through the unsettling documents and pictures of the crime scene, I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. "When was the corpse discovered?" I asked Derek, struggling to keep my voice steady. "Last night. The police are still investigating," he replied, his tone somber and concerned. I looked at the graphic image before me, and a mixture of sadness and anger washed over me. "What pleasures are there in marking people?" I murmured to myself, my frustration evident as I rubbed my temple. Besides... what connection is there between Axel and M? What mysterious letters had he been sending? Is he related to Axel's death?My mind was a whirlwind of unanswered questions."Ms. Leah, the shareholders are calling," Derek's voice broke through my thoughts, jolting me back to reality. I let out a weary sigh and took the phone, preparing myself for the usual barrage of demands from the shareholders. "Director Kiln, Director Adams, Director Chase

    A week laterAt the office,"Brother Liam! Daniel called out anxiously as he made his way towards me," I looked at the colorful outfit he was wearing, almost blinding my eyes. "Brother Liam, you have to help me," he said as he hugged my thigh, sobbing like an abandoned wife.I used my other leg to push him away, feeling slightly disgusted. "You went to dye your hair again," I remarked, looking at the fiery red dye he had used on his hair."Oh, my hair," he said proudly, ruffling his hair backward. "There is an all-red party coming up this weekend. I am one of the VVIP," he said, whining proudly, showing his werewolf teeth."I see," I said, sighing. "So, it means you are really enjoying your life partying away," I said, shaking my head. No wonder professor is worried about Daniel all the time, I thought to myself. Daniel was the party type and didn't want to take over the company. He preferred coding and hacking into systems to being in a corporate company."I heard the professor pr

    Leah's Pov"Miss Leah, are you sure this is such a great idea?" Derek asked me as I put on my shoes. "What isn't a great idea?" I asked him. "How sure are you that president Liam is President Axel, though they look alike, but... their faces are not the same at all," he said, looking distressed. I looked at Derek, "Don't you trust me?" I said, looking straight into his eyes. Derek looked at me and hesitated, he didn't know what to say. His expression said it all, "Are you crazy, Miss? President Axel is already dead... already dead.""Huhh!" I exclaimed. "Nevermind, you won't understand anyway." "How sure are you that it's him?" he said, following me to the kitchen as I poured some milk into my cereals. I looked at him, "Because... That night when I fell on Axel, I had lifted the hair by the side of his ear, to check for something... to check for the tiniest details anyone could hardly notice... a sexy little mole at the top of his ear. Which was there, that was when I knew for sur

    Axel's Pov"A nobody?!" I muttered, clenching my fists tightly. Was Leah trying to exact revenge on me for what I did to her that night? I looked at her as she swayed away, the sharp sting of her words tightening my chest. I felt something stir in my heart, a painful sensation that made me want to rip my heart out.I took a deep breath and tried to control my emotions before trailing after her. Leah turned back and glared at me, her eyes red, as if she had been crying. I hated seeing her cry; the sight of her pain stirred something deep within me.I shrugged my shoulders at her and walked past her into the private room. "Don't worry, the bill's on President Liam," Daniel said as he urged the workers to continue ordering meals.I shot him a dangerous glare as I made my way to my seat. Did this fool think I pluck money on the tree, I worked hard to get my damn money!! Daniel kept mute and silent chew on the chicken lap on his hand"Oh, my President Liam, we didn't know you would be

    Leah's Pov"Thank you so much for the ride," I said as I alighted from the car, feeling grateful for the lift. "You're welcome," John replied, offering a slight smile as he looked up at the building we were standing in front of. "This is a temporary residence for people coming to visit in the country. Are you not a citizen of this country?" he asked, his curiosity evident in his tone.I nodded in response. "I won't be leaving anytime soon," I said determinedly. "I won't be leaving until a certain someone reveals himself. I have made a vow within me that I must go back to country H with Axel. If not, those old foxes will tear me apart."As I pondered on my thoughts, my eyes caught something at the other side of the road. "Speaking of the devil," I smirked, turning to John. "Want to come in for a drink?" I asked him, extending the invitation."Of course," John replied, nodding his head. I led him towards the entrance of the building, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Jasper asked, peering directly into my eyes as he took off his sunglasses."I am not," I replied, trying to maintain composure.

    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.

    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

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.

    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.

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
