She wasn't sure what Axel had said, her eyes remained glued on sizing his body when something caught her eyes.

"What happened to you?" Claire asked standing up from her feet and closing the distance between them as she placed her hand on the cut on his stomach, the injury seemed to be stitched up but she couldn't tell if it was recent or not.

"It's nothing," Axel responded, yanking her hand off his body.

"I am sorry," Claire apologized realizing she had touched him without his consent, she took a step back staring at him with a frown. "The girl at the club, was that the girl you were talking about? The Emily girl."

"So, you didn't completely forget everything that happened," Axel raised his brow walking past her to the mirror as he cleaned his head with the towel staring at his reflection.

"I don't think Aiden would do what you said he…"

"You don't need to defend Aiden because you are scared he won't allow you to stay once I leave tomorrow, he isn't going to kick you out, rest assur

    THE NEXT MORNING, Claire opened her eyes slowly at the sound of something squeaky, she yawned deeply as her eyes scanned the room to find Axel packing his clothes into a bag. She had come back into the room pretty late to find him fast asleep, she didn't want to bother him by asking if he had changed his mind but it seemed his mind was already made up about leaving. "Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you," Axel apologized seeing Claire sit up on the bed. He had been trying to work the zip of the bag but it was stiff. He was about to call the maids when the zip finally gave way. "Still leaving?" Claire asked in a low voice as she yawned again, cleaning the sleep off her eyes. "I don't exactly plan to spend the rest of my life in his house, I only stayed due to his memory loss and he seems perfectly fine to me right now," Axel replied, raising the bag and checking the wardrobe just to be sure he didn't forget anything. He had no plans of coming back to this house except it was busine

    “Are you bluffing?” Axel asked in a worried tone. He wasn’t sure what Aiden’s take was on having kids currently but when they were in their teens Aiden had said once that he didn’t want kids even when Mr. Frazier had brought up marriage, he had said he would rather adopt than have one.“She hasn’t confirmed it but I suspect that she is, she has been showing signs lately,” Aiden explained. He didn’t know much about pregnancy but his instinct was never wrong. She was becoming selective of what she ate and last night she had rushed to the bathroom to vomit right in the middle of them being intimate.He had been so worried about her but she had reassured him that it was nothing.“You should ask her, I once suspected she was pregnant but after conducting a test turned out she was,” Axel pointed out.“Yeah,” Aiden said in a low voice. “I guess I should see you off.”“If you want to,” Axel said holding the handle of his traveling bag, he was done packing he dragged the traveling bag by his s

    "What?" Aiden questioned with a puzzled look.His face suddenly contoured with a glare but not as much as Axel who was close to shoving the officer off on the floor, he took a deep breath instead placing his hands to his waist, "What the hell are you talking about?" Axel yelled angrily. They were here to check the warehouse, why was this stupid officer saying they were arrested? If their presence wasn't needed at the station due to the fire then it was best to say so than try to embarrass them.His action of grabbing Aiden's hand and almost cuffing it had not gone unnoticed by the reporters and he was certain they would start a rumor about it soon."A man was found dead in the warehouse, it's only right that we interrogate both of you regarding that," the officer informed them."What the fuck does that have to do with us? We came here to find out what…""Mister," the officer yelled at Axel. "I am just doing my job, don't make me have my men drag you into the car.""Have you lost your

    "I have no idea what the hell you are talking about and you have no right to cuff my hands…""Are you going to teach me my job, Mister? We have all the evidence, the only thing saving you out of here is probably bail," Brandon cut him off with a smile on his face. He was about to say something when the door opened slightly with an officer signaling him to step out. He stared at Axel for a moment before leaving the room, Candice stood up from her seat, "I will just make sure that cuff isn't too tight, apologize for my mate's behavior," she said, checking his cuffs and leaning down in an awkward position.Axel was about to ask her to fuck off when she finally whispered to him, "From John, he said to not say a word to the officers, your lawyer is around but discussing with John," she said. "Well looks secure," she raised her voice and her head.She grabbed the files on the table and headed out of the room leaving Axel alone wondering how he had gotten himself into this mess and why Emil

    "The moment we saw on the television that you were arrested, Claire suggested that we get rid of everything in the house that might be incriminating, initially I and Astrid didn't get it but now I do," Selena explained. The dungeon had also been cleaned and replaced with farm animals to look like a barn, she was also surprised when she stepped inside and couldn't recognize the place. The police instantly knew something was up, they didn't even bother to check it as Anthony chuckled accepting the reality of things, he had thanked her for her cooperation but she knew he was going to be back soon with more officers and better equipment because, despite the clean up, the air still lingered with the smell dead bodies and blood. "Good, right now we are heading to my penthouse, will have my men move all your things over," Aiden informed her. "Penthouse?" Selena raised a brow, was something going on? Did it have anything to do with his arrest or was he trying to flee before the cops decide

    ~ AIDEN'S PENTHOUSE ~"We will be staying here for the main time until everything dies down," Aiden announced as they got into the penthouse. It had taken till the next day before they arrived at the penthouse, he had a penthouse close to the mansion but he had changed his mind last minute. He didn't want the police to have easy access to his new location. "And Axel? Will he be joining us here?" Astrid asked. "Wherever he chooses to stay is fine by me," Aiden responded. "He will be home once his bail has been sorted.""Selena, are you okay?" Claire asked. She had noticed Selena seemed to be acting strange as they got into the penthouse, she looked a bit pale. "I don't feel…" Selena said placing her hand quickly to her mouth about to throw up as Aiden held her by the arm leading her quickly to the room. Astrid and Claire stared at each other wondering what was wrong with her, they wanted to follow suit but since Aiden was with her, she was in good hands. Aiden watched her dash int

    "Who are we talking about? What is going on?" Claire asked confused. "Emily is accusing him of rape," Aiden said."Isn't it the same Emily that made Axel punch you in the face because of her lies?" Selena asked just to be sure who they were talking about. "Yeah, I knew something was up with how she approached Axel," Aiden said. According to his findings, her lawyer had packaged his evidence so well that Axel was definitely going to go to jail, he had called John to find out if there was a way to get rid of the case but John had told him it wasn't possible as someone was trying hard to ruin him. John had advised him to pay her off, he had thought it was a good idea and he was ready to pay whatever he could to get her to take back her case but her disapproval of his offer only proved to him now that she wasn't working alone and her accusations were connected to what happened at the warehouse. It wasn't a coincidence that she had met Axel at the club, whoever she was working for knew

    "Don't start what you can't finish," Claire whispered. "What?" Axel chuckled. "Don't look at me like that, you just end up stealing kisses when you want to and I think that should stop," Claire said standing up but she soon came crashing into the bed as Axel grabbed her by her wrist. He grabbed her by the waist shoving her on the bed as he hovered over her, "What naughty ideas have you been thinking while I was away?" He asked with a smirk on his face. "Don't flatter yourself, mister.""So, you didn't think about my lips on yours while I was away?" Axel teased. Claire stared at him trying not to give him the benefit of the doubt but her face was suddenly turning red and she could tell from the smile on his face, darn her face.Maybe she had thought about him and she didn't know why exactly, it wasn't like Axel was laying claim on her but he had kissed her like he was, she didn't want to assume his feelings for her, it was best to stop him from kissing her any chance he got but now

    "Her water just broke," Aiden announced. They all got on their feet, Claire and Astrid rushed to her side helping her stand up as they could see the pain etched on her face, while the men ran to get the car ready. It didn't take long when they arrived at the hospital and she was taken to the theater in excruciating pain, Aiden remained outside the reception with Claire, Astrid, Axel, and Tom before the doctor informed him that he could join his wife."Everything is going to be alright," Aiden reassured her when he entered the ward to find her lying on the bed, her hand extended for him to come hold her. "It hurts so bad," Selena cried out. "Sorry," Aiden replied holding her hand in his firmly and planting a kiss on her forehead. He didn't know how else to comfort her, he could see the pain in her eyes and could only hope the delivery would happen sooner.After hours of labor pain, Aiden holding her hand and trying to soothe her pain with reassuring words, delivery began.Aiden had

    "You are serious?" Claire asked just to be sure Axel wasn't joking around.He barely nodded his head to sign yes when she pulled him in for a hug, of course, she was going to move in with him and travel to another country if that was what he wanted.Everything seemed to be moving too fast when it came to how they felt for each other but for the first time in many years, she felt loved. She didn't feel like she was forcing herself on Axel like she had forced Luke to love her.Axel loved her and she could see it."I am happy for you guys," Astrid squeaked with joy, it had been a while since she last saw Axel looking at a woman the way he looked at Claire. It was like she and Selena weren't even in the room."By the way, there is something I was going to tell you, Axel, I hope I am not ruining the mood," Selena said. "I already told Claire and Astrid yesterday that -""Selena is pregnant," Astrid took the word right out of her mouth. "Are you sure you are not the one who is pregnant?" C

    "Yeah, as friends. I think that would be better for both of us at the moment, I feel there are still a lot of things we don't know about each other and-""Are you joking?" Claire's eyes widened as she adjusted herself on the bed again, her face etched with confusion at Axel's words as her eyes darted from him to his hands on hers."Hey!" Axel placed his hand on her chin raising her head so he could see her face, was she crying? "Claire? I was joking," he laughed out. "I didn't find it funny," Claire smacked his hand off her chin. Axel chuckled at her reaction, "I am sorry, didn't know you were a crybaby.""What? I am not," Claire protested looking away from him. How could he tease her like that? It wasn't her fault that she had thought he was being serious about them being 'just friends' when she was attracted to him. "You look cute when you lie," Axel smirked, he placed his hand on her chin tilting her head gently to face him as he kissed her on the lips. "I will have them bring s

    “Where the hell is she?” Axel yelled grabbing him by the collar, he didn’t want to believe that Claire was dead, the time period was too short for them to kill her and her clothes had no sign of blood stain when he pulled it out from the boot. “Let me off and I will tell you, lover boy,” Vincent laughed. Aiden reached for his phone immediately in his pocket, dialing one of the bodyguards who was back at Emily’s house, “Check around the house, she has to be hidden somewhere,” Aiden ordered on the first ring. “We found her boss. Was about to call you, she is unconscious,” the bodyguard replied. “Alright,” Aiden said disconnecting the call and staring at Axel who was holding back on punching Vincent in the face. “She is alright, we might just need to get her to the hospital, quickly.” “You should have stayed in jail,” Axel said to Vincent punching him in the face as Aiden held him by the waist pulling him back. “Let me go Aiden, we need to end him right now so he doesn’t come back t

    “Claire,” Axel called out staring at Vincent on the laptop, his hand forming into a fist as he caused under his breath. He hadn’t anticipated seeing Vincent, wasn’t he supposed to be in jail awaiting his death sentence? This was the reason he had been against Claire going to see Emily, he reached for the door ready to hop out as Aiden grabbed him by the wrist.“Our men are already circling the building, he can’t get away with it,” Aiden said.“You want me to sit here and allow Vincent to kill her?” Axel asked shoving Aiden’s hand away, he stared at Selena and Astrid who were in disbelief at the sight of Vincent, he opened the van door and hopped out running down the street to Emily’s house.Axel ran down the street as quickly as his legs could take him, he couldn’t believe that Vincent had escaped from jail and worse Emily was working for him, what was she bound to gain from Vincent? That douchebag! He should have shot him dead a long time ago instead of hoping that the system would

    THE NEXT MORNING, Aiden briefed everyone on the plan again in the van a street away from Emily's house, "If you feel uncomfortable at any moment, you just think of an excuse and leave," Aiden reminded Claire."Sure," Claire nodded. Axel walked up to her helping her put on the camera properly over her shirt button, the camera design looked like a button from afar, "this is a recording device," Axel said, placing a pen into the pocket of her shirt. "Axel, can we talk about…" Claire spoke in a low tone. She had been trying to speak to him all morning but he seemed to be avoiding the question, she didn't know why he would just listen to her so she could explain everything to him. "After," Axel cut her off. "Do you have your earbuds on?" He asked instead. "Yeah I do," she nodded, tucking her hair behind her ear so he could see it. "I was going to tell you, believe me," Claire whispered in a low voice. "What part of after don't you understand?"She bit the bottom of her lips, sad by hi

    "I was just joking," Claire brushed it off at the puzzled look on Axel's face, she didn't know why she had blurted something out like that to him. Never in a million years had she asked any man that question, she smiled trying to make him see that she was bluffing."Yes.""What?" She gasped. "You… you will be my boyfriend?""Isn't that what you want? Yes, I will," Axel nodded, kissing her on the lips as her eyes widened in shock, unable to comprehend that Axel just agreed without any hint of hesitation in his voice.She watched him get out of bed and into the bathroom as she scratched the back of her head, playing back what had just happened in her head. She was about to get out of bed when the door opened with Astrid entering, she dashed out back at the sight of Claire lying naked on the bed."I am so sorry, please I didn't mean to badge in, I am so sorry," Astrid apologized. "Shit," Claire cursed, she could have sworn she used the key when locking the door or was it Axel who locked
