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. He had been d
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.
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
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.
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 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
