Eve opened her eyes, but she didn't find Axel in the bed beside her. She let out a short breath and rolled over to the side of the bed where Axel had been sleeping for the past three nights.

She didn't know when this crazy feeling took over her heart, but she loved the lingering scent of Axel's body that clung to her pillow and blanket.

It must have been quite daylight because she could see the bright sky behind the open window curtains. It must have been Axel who did it.

Normally, she would wake up early and get ready for work. However, in the last three days, she has returned to living like an unemployed person who doesn't think about work.

She was a little moody if she remembered about the hospital. If she could, she didn't want to come back there and pass by the place where... she was treated so badly. If possible, she wanted to disappear from Seattle for a while to find her courage again. However, of course, she couldn't do that.

Sooner or later, she had to return to the hospital

    Eve woke up early and quickly got ready to leave for the hospital.She had already spent three days without thinking about work, and she didn't seem to want to stay home any longer because she knew she needed to go to the hospital and confirm the continuation of her work.Axel wasn't in bed when she woke up, but she heard the sound of water in the bathroom, so she knew he was there.Without thinking twice, she quickly joined Axel, and they came out of the bathroom an hour later. Well, if she was in a hurry to get to the hospital, she should have waited until Axel finished showering, and then she went in there. Joining Axel didn't make her faster. He made her late."You look nervous. Is there a problem?" Axel took her hand and held it tightly as he drove her to the hospital.This time, Axel didn't bring a driver and made Eve sit beside him—just like their ride yesterday afternoon."I left the hospital without saying anything, and I'm a little worried I'll get fired," she laughed briefl

    Eve didn't call Axel to pick her up even though he had told her that she only needed to call him if she needed anything.She didn't... choose to walk in the park behind the hospital even though she knew that there were many people there that morning and there would most likely be no danger even if she cried in a garden chair all day.She took a taxi to Axel's mansion even though it meant she had to spend a lot of money because his mansion was... very far from the city. The taxi driver was confused when he got Axel's address, but she didn't want to explain anything and chose to sit quietly in the passenger seat after she said that she would pay whatever the driver needed as a fare.Axel's mansion was far away—hidden behind a pleasant-looking forest when viewed from the car window.It was Christmas in three days, and... this would probably be the first Christmas Eve spent at Axel’s mansion. Maybe she should ask Axel to buy a Christmas tree so that his gloomy mansion would get a little l

    As it always happens, Eve woke up when Axel was no longer beside her.She was a bit surprised to see that she had slept for so many hours that it was almost time for dinner.Her stomach was hungry because she hadn't eaten lunch and, this morning, had only eaten a few slices of apple pie that Axel had fed her because she was in a hurry to leave for the hospital and didn't want to be late.She... didn't get her morning sickness as bad as usual, and that was kind of nice because she didn't know what to tell Axel if he saw her always running to the bathroom after waking up in the morning. However, of course, she still gets it every now and then, but she handles it so well that Axel doesn't suspect anything.Not wanting to linger in the toilet, Eve quickly got out of there and put on her usual casual clothes for dinner—the white pants she brought from the apartment and the light gray sweater Axel bought her. She forgot the moral lesson from her mentor about how to dress for dinner. Her par

    Eve woke up happy in the morning, and she knew why.Axel's room is the perfect place to sleep, and she has never felt so comfortable when she can hug a stranger's blanket with the scent of perfume that isn't hers.Usually, she likes something private—something that belongs to her. However, sharing a bed and a blanket with Axel is the most fun thing she's ever decided to do.Of course, Axel isn't in the room when she wakes up.Maybe she should get used to waking up a little earlier if she wants to see Axel still sleeping next to her. She doesn't know what kind of habit he has that when other people prefer to wake up at noon, he is the only guy who wakes up very early and starts his day earlier than anyone else.Eve always felt that she was a little more diligent than her friends—Daxton and Kaira. She always woke up at the normal time, 7:30 am, and started her morning by showering and making breakfast.It was a morning habit when she was still working.Now, things have changed, and when

    "My father is an entertainment agency owner in Hollywood," Eve breathed deeply as she intertwined her fingers with Axel's fingers through the air. "He... is very wealthy. I don't know the exact amount of his wealth, but I know he is very rich."Almost five seconds passed, but she didn't hear any response from Axel.She turned with concern, but all she got was Axel's intense gaze. She knew he was listening. She was sure of that."You told me that you once thought about becoming a doctor because... you lost your mother." She didn't know how it felt to lose her parents. She always wished she would never experience the loss of her parents. "I thought about becoming a doctor because I love what I can do as a doctor. I don't want to live in the shadow of my parents. Maybe that's one of my reasons."One of Axel's hands stroked her hair while his other hand was still holding her. He didn't say anything, but once again, she was sure that he was listening, and he still wanted to listen."Cailyn

    Since Eve decided to pursue her dream—learning everything she could to continue her studies at the best medical school she desired, she never missed a day without reading books. For her, books were a part of her life—something she could never let go of.Then, as time passed, she began to have other activities besides reading books in the library. Her class schedule was very busy, and she still had to make time to participate in research with her professor—one of the things that always interested her.She was fortunate that her parents could afford all her tuition fees, so she didn't need to work part-time to earn extra money. The only thing she did during college was study and participate in scientific activities that could broaden her knowledge instead of working hard to deliver fast food as most students did.Throughout her life books have been an essential part of her life. Therefore, she couldn't be happier when a guard delivered a box containing several books that Axel bought for

    "I wish I could call my Daddy to clear out the mall," Cailynn sighed briefly.Eve smiled wryly.Even though she was in a private school full of wealthy people all this time, she never really socialized with them. She felt like she had wasted a lot of time in her life because she was too busy with herself to have time for socializing. For the first time, she had to socialize with one of the people with extraordinary wealth, making her words feel... unrelated to daily life.Well, who calls their father to clear out a mall when they want to go shopping?"It seems like Axel could do it too," Cailynn sighed shortly, "I don't know how anyone can enjoy shopping in such a crowded place." She continued her complaint."There won't be any problems in Seattle because people here will ignore you even if they know you're a famous model," Eve retorted."I don't mind that. Even in New York, I haven't been getting as many problems lately. It seems like they're getting bored with my private life becaus

    "Are you afraid of me?"Eve should have run.She should have run away or at least screamed when she found Andres there—standing with a cynical smile as if mocking her as she walked backward.There were many people there. They would help her if she ran and screamed loudly.She could open the door, then run as fast as she could. She could call Axel and ask him to come there.Instantly, she regretted making Axel forbid the bodyguards from following them.She regretted it, but her regret wouldn't save her if she didn't do something right away.Run. She just needed to run out of that room, then find people—anyone who could save her.However, just as she turned around, she jerked in surprise when she heard the loud fire alarm.Oh God...Eve knew there was no fire. She knew that the alarm wasn't a fire signal but something dangerous that might happen to her—something that would clearly happen to her."It seems you can still read my mind," Andres spoke calmly from behind her.

    Eve spent many years of her life thinking she might end up with the man who became her fiancé months ago. She never felt that there was anything wrong with her life or the plans she had laid out in her mind. Everything went normally, but perhaps she had to accept the fact that in her life, she not only had to face heartbreak but also witnessed a great betrayal that left a deep scar.Despite all the bad things that had happened in her life—loss, disappointment, pain, and sorrow that crushed her—he would never forget any of it. She would embrace every wound she had endured and carry it with her throughout her life, keeping a part of it alongside every happiness she might experience with the man she chose.And she was certain that happiness would be perfect if she spent it with Axel—together with all the flaws and scars they had faced together.The bright morning sun with white clouds adorning the blue sky was the best thing she could ask for on her happy day—one of the happiest days of

    As Axel said last night, he had indeed been at her house since this morning. Eve had to admit that he woke up earlier and came to her house before she even had a chance to wake up.Well, her sleep was not as sound and easy as before—just as she thought last night. However, she managed to sleep by 3 AM, which was a decent achievement considering she once thought she couldn’t sleep until morning.“You always wake up late,” Axel teased her with a playful smile as he spread chocolate spread on his whole-grain bread. “You like chocolate spread, don’t you?” He asked while placing the bread on Eve’s plate.Eve knew her parents were quietly observing what Axel was doing. And it seemed they were also trying to find answers to their conversation last night—a conversation that was still not fully resolved.“The maid didn’t prepare much because Eve didn’t say you were coming for breakfast. If we had known, we would have prepared better.”“That’s not necessary at all, Mrs. Meadow. I like what’s pr

    Eve still remembers every detail of the streets in New York even though it has been a long time since she visited her hometown. This place still remains a part of her life, although she realizes that another part of her life has settled in Seattle with all the complications she left behind.Her parents welcomed her as Axel's car entered the spacious yard of her family's mansion. There are a few details that are different from what she last remembered, but this place is still the mansion where she grew up from childhood to adulthood. She recalls every dream she once thought of as she walked through the mansion's yard. She remembers planning to leave her parents' mansion and live on her own—flying with her own wings.Now, she is no longer a teenage girl who carries a notebook everywhere to write down everything she wants to do. Now, she chooses to live freely—following whatever is in front of her and trying to get through each day with slow steps. Not because she has lost her dreams and

    Axel seemed to have forgotten the last time he visited his parents' graves. He used to come here every time he visited New York on his birthday—exactly on the anniversary of his mother’s death. He would come with a single flower and place it on his mother's tombstone, leaving his father's grave empty because he didn’t know what flowers the man liked. After all, his father probably wouldn’t care about any flowers placed on his tombstone since the only thing that mattered to him was being reunited with his wife, Beatrice.However, this time, Axel did something different. Instead of a single red rose, he brought a large bouquet—something he clearly did not buy based on his own decision. And not just one but two bouquets with the same content and size as if they were intentionally made to be identical.“Ah, if Aunty Beatrice knew the mess Axel has made recently, I’m sure I’d see him scream in pain from pinching him. He deserves a spanking for troubling everyone,” Cailynn complained like a

    Waking up early and starting her day ahead of her usual routine was highly unpleasant for Eve. If she could, she would have preferred to lie in bed all day, wrapped in her blanket. Sunlight was beginning to filter through the window, but she would have ignored it, keeping her eyes closed all day.Unfortunately, last night, she made a promise she couldn't break, and she had no intention of breaking it."Wait," Eve turned her head, somewhat confused, as Axel led her towards a helicopter parked on the mansion's helipad. "We're using a helicopter?""Do you mind?" Axel extended his hand and helped her into the helicopter, which was all black—a signature look for anything associated with Axel."I don't mind helicopters." She shrugged. "Aren't we taking Cailynn with us?" She furrowed her brow as Axel climbed in and sat next to her, closing the helicopter door."She's already there," Axel answered calmly. "We'll meet her later."Eve had no other questions to ask, so she remained silent in her

    "It's funny because these horses look so excited when you come here and give them apples."Eve turned her head and saw Cassy walking towards her with a few apples in her hands, joining her in feeding the horses from a close distance."I often come here in the morning when I don't have work. However, they seem uninterested in my apples, whereas now I see them scrambling for a chance to get apples from your hand." Cassy extended her hand, and magically, none of the horses scrambled to eat the apples from her hand. "See? They really frustrate me, and I promise I won't come here to give them apples anymore," Cassy said while laughing briefly.Eve snorted and took the apples from Cassy's hand, then started feeding the horses.She didn't know how long she had this new habit of giving apples to the horses. However, she felt she liked this new habit very much. It felt delightful to see the horses in front of her finish the apples and water she provided."Winter is over. Don't you want to go h

    If Axel had known that life would lead him to a complicated fate and life story, he might have chosen not to let himself get too deeply involved in a life he always called a duty. Whatever he did in his life, he only went through everything because he knew it was his duty. He never had the opportunity to make decisions, no one ever gave him a choice when Lucas decided to give him the leadership of the clan, no one ever asked if he liked his life full of dangers that always followed him, and no one knew if he wanted the life he was living. Everything that happened to him was what he could never decide. He got everything because it was destined for him—all the things he had to go through, even if he didn’t want them.Then, for the first time in his life, he let himself be immersed in his desires—something he longed for with all his heart and mind. Did he know that this desire would lead him to a life full of complexity? Did he know that the consequence of his desire was that he brought

    Eve has loved silence her entire life—as far back as she can remember.She loved the quiet she found at her desk with piles of books and a pen in her hand. She loved the breeze that blew her hair as she spent the afternoon on her bedroom balcony with a cup of tea and a thick book on her lap. She cherished every quiet corner of her mansion, far from the hustle and bustle of New York and the paparazzi cameras. She appreciated the silence her parents offered because of their guilt over what New York society had done to her.Yes, Eve loved every definition of silence because it was the hardest thing to obtain throughout her life.Years passed, and she hoped she would find the silence—the peace she craved—once she moved from New York to Seattle with every dream and hope in her grasp. She had big plans and was confident they would succeed as long as she worked hard.However, time taught her many things, and now she understood that not everything she desired could be obtained with her hands

    Axel glanced at the round watch on his right wrist—ensuring that everything was in order according to the calculations he had made over the past week.Midnight came, and there was a change of guards throughout the base. At that moment, the first assault would certainly proceed a bit easier due to their complacency. But what about the second assault? Of course, the second assault would be much easier if the first team had completed their mission."What are you doing here?"Axel turned his head when he heard Adeline's voice behind him.Adeline...Whatever crazy notion was in this woman's mind that led her to remove Andres and become the leader of the rebellion was hard to fathom. It was difficult to believe that this was the same woman who had saved him and brought him to the secret base—far from Andres' reach with no access to this territory.Compared to Andres, Adeline was much more terrifying.She harbored secrets and immense danger—something hidden behind her angelic face."Nothing,"
