"Be careful," Axe said as he thrust his hand at me. He was so fussy watching me struggle down the stairs in these troublesome heels. Earlier, before trudging up the helicopter's rope ladder, Axe had walked back to the big tree to pick up my abandoned heels and asked me to climb up first with Alessandro leading me in front. And for your information, the helicopter Alessandro was using couldn't land because in the middle of the forest the trees grow not too sparsely, especially since we were around a lake."Next time don't use that thing again," he continued to advise me, even though we were now standing on the roof top of the hospital. What a nag! But I was glad that Axe was a little calmer than before, because Alessandro had gotten information that Edward's condition was getting better."Come on!"Without waiting for an answer, Axe immediately pulled my hand to follow his wide strides that seemed impatient to reach the destination, Edward's hospital room.Our jo

I writhe in sleep as I feel the loss so close to my body, my eyes open to watch the skies of the VVIP room with a blank gaze overpowering. It's quiet here, just me alone... I remember before falling asleep earlier, there was still a warm embrace that was perfectly coiled. But now that the loss of that embrace creates an untouchable coldness, I feel empty and my feelings are irresistibly scratched with unwarranted anxiety. Maybe it's because I don't find Axe's presence here.Axe...Don't ask me where he is, I don't know. His absence already proves that the sly man left by taking advantage of my short-lived sleeping state.Axe's stubbornness had gone up a notch, to the point where all means were being used to accomplish his goals. I didn't know what Axe wanted to do out there, but my gut feeling was that he was going to do something bad. I can only hope that it's not true. I don't want Axe to fall back into the abyss and get even more lost, let alone fall into a criminal case-just Is

Not wanting to be grandiose and wishful thinking too far, as soon as possible I pulled the curtain until something I never imagined was plastered so real in front of me. Something so painful, something that made me disappointed, something that forced my feelings to shatter into pieces...It was a bloodied knife in Axe's hand with a man lying unconscious, also bleeding, screaming in pain and begging for mercy to the man who was staring at him coldly.This time I dared to call out to the man, for whatever reason he was still unaware of my presence here-while watching his every vicious act, until it was recorded so perfectly in my brain how the expression of satisfaction was so clear on Axe's face.I still can't believe it. Is it true that the Axe before me is the Axe I've loved all along? I wanted to deny it by not admitting the man was Axe. However, reality kept beating my chest until it was bruised and ended in pain. That man was indeed an Axe that managed to provoke other emotions i

I sat motionlessly on the blanket with nothing to do since Axe had left within an hour. I felt lonely, silent, and empty as I thought about the problems in my life that had unknowingly brought me this far-an experience that was so dramatic and priceless.Honestly, I never imagined that my wedding day would be the worst day of my life, that I would have to go through all sorts of miserable obstacles. Especially when I almost lost my life, as well as almost losing Axe. Truly, it was all chest-thumping. Just thinking about it makes my heart feel like it's being torn into tiny pieces.And Axe... Don't ask me about him, I don't want my longing to get worse. Yes, the more I kept thinking about my problems with him, the feeling of wanting to meet suddenly surfaced. I should have realized that I was the one who asked him to leave, now I can't blame him for not being beside me.Never mind...I sighed in resignation as I stared out the window with the curtains partially open, showing the rain

"I got this, Bridgette."Axe repeatedly wants to take over the towel in my hand, but I keep resisting by holding it up high so he can't reach it. I force Axe to sit on the chair so I can dry his wet hair. It's his own fault that while I'm busy drying myself, he's still wandering around outside with Alessandro.About the towel I'm wearing. I admit that Axe himself took the initiative to go shopping for some necessities such as a change of clothes and anything else related to personal needs. Well, from there, after carrying his groceries in a drenched state, he hurriedly left and asked me to clean up to rest. That selfish man didn't realize that I had warned him of his presence by planning something like what I was currently doing. He wouldn't be able to leave again like before, I would prevent it by threatening him."I'm on my own, Bridgette." Again. Axe protests again when I keep wiping his head with the towel, like he's uncomfortable because I don't stop-making his head stuffy cover
