Lahat ng Kabanata ng Her Redemption, His Weakness: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 46

Zira-“What else did you need to do?” I asked Axton, taking my eyes from the certificate.Axton was also looking at his certificate, with a wide grin on his face. His blue eyes twinkled with something I couldn’t quite explain, but it almost seemed a little like excitement or something similar. When Axton turned his attention to me, the smile faded, and the twinkle in his eyes was no longer present.“It is already done.” Axton said as he grabbed the certificate from my hands. “I will hold onto this. That way it won’t get lost. Because losing it would make it difficult to get divorced later.”The thought of getting a divorce made me feel sick to my stomach. Now I needed to find a way to get Axton not to want to divorce me later. I was tempted to take both certificates and hide them for that purpose. Yet, compared to Axton, I was nothing more than a naive teenager.Even if I didn’t want a divorce, I couldn’t force him to stay married. But I could drag it out long enough and work harder,

Zira-“Do you want to leave that behind, so I can work on it?” Axton nodded toward the jade; I had strung around my wrist.I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I wanted to leave it, but Axton quickly spoke again. “I can deliver it to you at school.”I still hesitated as I looked down at my wrist.

Looking at the various cars in the garage, I wondered which one he was planning to drive. Nearly jumping out of

Zira-“No, he doesn’t leave, except one time. He locks himself in his room and only allows our parents to enter. I don’t know what they say or do when they go in, and they won’t tell me. On the occasions he comes out of his room, he won’t even look anyone in the eye. But I don’t mind. Whatever he went through before coming to live with us must have been tragic.” Sammy’s expression fell, and a wave a sadness moved across her face.The more Sammy talked about her brother, the less I could shake the feeling that he could be my brother. I knew it was crazy, but what if? I needed to learn more before I let my thoughts run wild.“How do your parents feel about him being difficult to handle?” I asked, but then realized that it must have sounded rude. “It does sound like it is difficult to live with someone who refuses to talk to come out of his room.”“They don’t mind. They love my brother, and so do I. I know it might seem weird, but despite the way he is, he is also very protective. I reme
