View MoreOLIVIAI didn’t go back to my apartment.I went to Axel’s room, sobbed next to him on the hospital bed, and drifted off to sleep afterward.By the time I woke up, it was already evening. He still wasn’t awake. My eyes were throbbing, and I felt a sharp sting in them.The door opened, and a nurse walked in. I turned to face her, my stomach churning.“Ma’am?” She called softly. “There are other people outside who want to see the patient. We weren’t sure if you’d want them to come in.”I stared at her confusingly.“People?” I thought it was only Rosa. She was the only one I was expecting.The nurse nodded.I glanced back at Axel, squeezed his cold hand gently, and darted my attention back to the nurse.“I’ll be out soon.”She gave a subtle nod and turned around to leave. I felt the tears forming again in my eyes. One would think I would stop after crying for hours. But I didn’t.The tears never stopped flowing. And I wasn’t aware of how alone I was until I saw Axel in this condition.I
OLIVIAI brushed my fingertips over my lips, struggling to accept the fact that someone had tampered with Axel’s medication.It wasn’t even made for humans.“Who did this?” I whispered, my fingers tightening around the bottle.I forgot for a second that he was still waiting for me to return with his medicine. And until I heard a loud thud and sounds of glasses breaking from the kitchen, I didn’t stand up.My fear increased. I tossed the bottle back onto the couch and rushed back into the kitchen.I got to the entrance and froze instantly. Axel had collided with one of the cups of coffee. The glass had shattered around his body on the floor.He’d collapsed and drifted into unconsciousness.“Axel?!” I shrieked, panting as I rushed to his side. “Axel, please get up.”He lay face down on the cold floor, the already warm coffee trickling down his face. I grabbed him with all the strength I’d mustered and managed to pull him away from the liquid.“Axel?” I patted his face gently, growing s
OLIVIAI woke up the next morning feeling like my head was going to split into two. It took more than five minutes to sit upright. The windows were already open, and rays of sunlight peered into the room, threatening to make me go blind.Everything that occurred last night felt like a dream. I caught a whiff of his scent, and my stomach churned. My eyes glanced around the space, searching for something… anything that could make me believe he was there.I recalled Axel storming out after a heated argument. Something sharp tore through my body, reminding me also that I’d been attacked and bruised.My fingers raked through my tangled hair. My body felt weak like I’d been beaten with something heavy. Getting out of bed was like a difficult task. I had to hold several things to keep my balance as I walked to the bathroom.Ten minutes later, and I was done washing up. I wrapped my towel around my body, wincing at the slightest bit of pain. My right foot was wounded, and I kept leaping.N
AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI.“Olivia…”“What were you expecting?” she snarled, tears glistening in her eyes. “That I’d run into your arms the moment I saw you?”Yes. I expected that. I wanted that more than anything, and I was so sure she’d be less upset after one week had passed.I deluded myself that it was the alcohol speaking. My Olivia would never do what she is doing right now if she were in her right frame of mind.“You’re drunk right now." My voice was raspy as I remained calm, reaching for her again. “I’ll take you to bed. And tomorrow morning… we’ll talk about everything.”She scoffed, pulled away from me the second time, and pointed her finger at my face.“Stay away from me.”That was never going to work.“Let’s go to bed.”She slapped my hands away. “Stay the fuck away from me!”I retreated, my eyes staring at how unevenly her chest rose. My fingers stroked my chin, my jaw tightening at the violent glance she gave me. She stepped forward, and I noticed her leaping on her right
OLIVIA“Darren… Darren, please wait." I ran after him as he walked briskly down the hallway.My heels clicked on the marble floor as I tried to catch up with him, already tired from storming after him.He refused to bring his feet to a halt. And he’d been ignoring me since we left Rossi’s estate. I
OLIVIAI almost forgot how good sex was with Axel. I slept off the second we were done. And for the record, I reached climax twice.Twice!Yet Darren made it a struggle to do anything properly. I was tipsy, so the alcohol wasn’t the problem like I’d always blamed. Even with the migraine I had, eve
OLIVIA“So this is it now?” Darren asked as he stormed after me, his voice cracking. “You’re cheating on me with Axel?”I halted in my tracks, my fists clenching while I tried to release the tension in my chest. Slowly, I turned around to face him, ignoring the way his eyes glistened with tears.I
OLIVIAThat sounded bad. Too bad.My lips parted into a whisper. “What?”Axel stepped closer, trying to reach for me as I shook my head vehemently, tears brimming in my eyes.“I had to do something,” he defended, making gestures with his hands as he spoke. “He was cheating on you.”My eyes widened.
