"It seems he's very stubborn, and you'll have to work hard if you want to reject him,"

Eve looked up when she heard her mom’s words. She took a deep breath, allowing herself a moment to breathe after going through a slightly painful physiotherapy session.

"Can I go back to my room now?" Eve asked one of the nurses.

"Yes, Miss. Today's physiotherapy session is over, and you can return to your room."

"Can I stay here for a few more minutes? Is there another patient scheduled for physiotherapy after this?"

"The next session will start in 30 minutes. You can stay here if you want to."

Eve nodded. "Thank you," she said with a smile.

After that, the two nurses entered their room, leaving Eve sitting with her mom.

"We'll sit here for 30 minutes?"

"Yes, that's right," she nodded again.

Honestly, there were many things she wanted to talk about with her mom. However, she knew that she might cry if she let herself discuss what she wanted to talk about. Everything felt like a dream, and now she f

    The day of Eve's return was the most awaited day for her. Even though she didn't say anything to him, Axel knew she was waiting for the day when she could leave the hospital and go home."Surprise!" Kaira, Daxton, and Cailynn shouted together, with confetti bursting in the air just as Eve opened her apartment door."Welcome back to your apartment, Eve!" Cailynn shouted again while approaching with a cake and candles in her hands.Axel blinked, looking at all of this in genuine surprise. Honestly, he had never seen a celebration like this. Did people really celebrate returning from the hospital? If so, then this was a very silly celebration."Come on, blow out your candle. What are you waiting for?!" Kaira stepped closer with a hat on her head. Both of her hands held confetti, just like Daxton's.Axel shook his head for a moment as he saw Eve's flat expression—no one could tell if she liked what was happening right now. Axel could only wait anxiously, considering Eve's mood had been qu

    "Eve, can you wake up for a moment, Dear?"Eve blinked as she heard her mother's voice and gentle taps on her arm."Mom?" Her eyes were slightly surprised by the light from outside her room because she was used to turning off all the lights before sleeping. Her hand reached for the bedside lamp switch, trying to turn it on so her room wouldn't be too dark."Sorry for waking you up. Can you get up for a moment? There's something we need to talk to you about."Eve turned her head and found her Dad standing there.She didn't pay much attention to her surroundings because she was surprised that her mother woke her up in the middle of the night, so she also didn't notice that her parents weren't wearing their pajamas even though she knew it was still nighttime."What's wrong?" Eve rubbed her eyes, knowing that she must look very messy right now. But who cared? There were only her parents here, and she didn't need to feel embarrassed in front of them. "Is something wrong?""Yes, unfortunate

    "There's no talk between us. It's all over, as you said last time. So, leave all of this before I have to watch myself destroy my life again."Axel knew his heart was broken when he heard what Eve said. He also knew that what happened between them had made them destroy each other—they hurt each other. But what could he do when he knew he had made a big mistake? He was aware of his mistake, and now he truly hoped that he wouldn't make another mistake.Something bad was going to happen to his clan, but the only thing he worried about was... Eve—his Angeline."Please," this was the first time Axel dared to pursue—resist Eve's rejection when all this time he had never dared to oppose anything she said. He held her hand, pleading with her not to walk away from him "Please, Eve. Let's talk about all of this."Eve stopped in her tracks.Yes, of course, she was surprised by what he did."Let's talk about everything, and I'll beg at your feet if you want me to." Axel had run out of options. Ev

    "What... just happened here?" Eve looked up when she heard Cailynn's hesitant and surprised voice."Get away from here if you don't want to get hurt," Axel responded softly from the kitchen, bringing cleaning supplies to deal with the mess they had caused. Or perhaps it was more accurate for Eve to say she had caused all that mess."Is there a problem?" Cailynn furrowed her brows as she walked slowly towards Eve, who was sitting on the couch without attempting to help Axel.He had said she didn't need to do anything, and yes... she chose to follow what he said."Stay quiet, Cailynn," Eve muttered softly, resting her head back and closing her eyes—letting her head replay every crazy thing she had let happen just a few minutes ago.She still remembered how her hand grabbed the flower vase and smashed it against Axel's head.She still remembered how Axel chose to keep holding her just because he didn't want to hurt her feet, even though his head was bleeding.She still remembered how her

    "What... is this?" Eve murmured softly as she saw Axel standing in front of her bedroom door after he had knocked for a few minutes.She had thought she would find Cailynn standing at her door to ask what was happening and why she locked herself in her room just because she didn't get the burger she wanted. However, it wasn't Cailynn she found there but... Axel."The burger you wanted," Axel replied calmly. "This is the burger you wanted, isn't it?"Eve nearly dropped the phone in her hand when she saw the burger wrapper from the restaurant she knew very well."It's past lunchtime, but you haven't had your breakfast, right?" Axel shook his hand to get her attention. "Go eat your burger. Don't be late for your meal."Eve remained silent and still in front of him.The burger restaurant was closed, and Eve had verified it herself with her phone. So, how did this man get the burger?"Is this from the restaurant you wanted? I asked Kaira, and she—""I don't want it." Eve cut off Axel's sen

    Eve walked into her room, staring at the burger in her hand.Damn. She would truly be a monster if she chose to finish that burger.Oh my, it seemed like she needed to do something to distract herself from the burger. But what could she do?Call her parents? It didn't seem right. They were busy in New York, and she still didn't understand what was happening there.Call Kaira or Daxton? No. They were working, and Eve would violate hospital ethics if she did that.Call Cailynn? A big no. She had just kicked that woman out, and judging by the time since her departure, Cailynn was probably still in the elevator.So what should she do?"Hello? Can I help you with something?"Then, as if by coincidence, her phone rang, and Eve immediately answered the call—something she rarely did when she saw a string of unknown numbers calling her."Eve? Do you still remember my voice?" A man's voice chuckled at the other end of the line. "I hope you still remember my voice because after all, we were toget

    Axel realized that when he decided to let himself enter the underground world hidden in darkness—a world that might not be recognized by many people in the world—his life should also be underground. He was a prince in darkness—he became the ruler underground without any light. His world was far from the sun or starlight. He would only rely on firelight to illuminate every step he took. Sometimes, the fire provided dim light, but sometimes, it was too bright and burned his path.Every decision he made wasn't because he wanted to, but because that's what he had to do in his life. He couldn't count how many times he danced with death as bullets pierced his body. He never counted the number of scars on his skin. He had even forgotten every pain he endured when a bullet flew in and tore through his bones.There was nothing he feared in his world because he had lived there all his life. No one is afraid in their own home, and that's what happened to him. Wounds, bullets, and even bombs were

    Eve opened her eyes and felt a dizzying pain as her eyes met a bright light—something she shouldn't have encountered when opening her eyes for the first time."Oh God," someone murmured with concern—a voice Eve knew she recognized.So, even though she felt dizzy from the bright light, she still tried to open her eyes and see what was in front of her."Don't wake up," someone touched her arm and urged her to stay lying down.Eve furrowed her brow as she saw Cassy in front of her.Cassy?No, no.Something must be wrong.Cassy shouldn't be here, right?This shouldn't be happening, right?Her last memory confirmed that she shouldn't be at Axel's mansion because... because that's not where she was. She was in her apartment, and that was far from Axel's mansion.She remembered everything. The memory was like a glitching video playing in her head—forcing her to remember it every time she took a breath.There was a phone call from Andres, the sound of an explosion, she was running to the elev

    Eve spent many years of her life thinking she might end up with the man who became her fiancé months ago.

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

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

  • The Mafia Kidnapped Me: One Night Stand With Mr Billionaire   Chapter 97~Cemetery

    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.

    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,"
