As Axel got into his car, he let out a shaky breath. He had been trying to hold himself, trying not to break down in front of anyone, or even alone.

To everyone else, he was Axel, the dreaded son of Thomas Leonard, the one who carried his father’s legacy, but only him knew what he was going through behind the scene.

He didn’t have a say of his own, neither was he living his life the way he wanted. Ever since he was a teenager, he had always followed Thomas’s order, thinking his father knows well, but growing up he understood that Tomas was using him for his own benefit.

He wasn’t living like his son, but as a tool. While his two siblings decided what to do with their lives and how to live it, he was exceptional. Unlike them, he was a living shadow, reflecting whatever his father wanted him to.

All he wanted was to study law and live happily but he could still remember the words his father told him when it was time for him to write the entrance exam.

    Rebecca chuckled dryly. “What stage of deception is this, Kira? I thought you’ll stop playing smart with me now that I’ve signed the contract. What is…”“You think I’m lying?” “I don’t think, I know!” She flared up. “You’re trying to say my dad cheated on my mum and even had an illegitimate son.” Kira sighed in frustration. Having knowing Rebecca for a while now, she knew Rebecca would react this way, so she wasn’t surprised, she was only frustrated.“Yes, your father cheated on your mum, with multiple women. He wasn’t a saint, Rebecca, but he was smart enough to act like one around you. Of all the woman he cheated on your mum with, Danny’s mum was his favorite and he had plans to marry her secretly and send her to another country, but unfortunately he was murdered before he could do so.” Jake explained, taking over from Kira who looked already tired. Rebecca shook her head in denial. “No, I won’t believe this.” Her father showered her mum with love, they loved each other so d

    Rebecca’s eyes flashed in surprise. “You want us to go to Paris?” She asked to be sure she heard well. Axel stared at her for a while before letting out a dry chuckle. “You act quite well, Becca. Seeing how excited you are to go to Paris, one would think you haven’t been there.” Her eyes narrowed. It was true she had been to Paris before, but how did Axel know? “You went to Paris with that son of a bitch for honeymoon.” He answered, even before she could ask. Busted. She couldn’t deny it. “Yes.” Her voice was low. “Then why acting like you’re eager to see the Eiffel Tower when you’ve seen it before?” She heaved a sigh. “Before I found out the real truth about Eric, I wasn’t really that into him. I tried so hard to love him the way I thought he did but it wasn’t just happening. I had to get married to him because he had done a lot for me, and I also wasn’t in any other relationship…” Axel listened patiently, waiting for all what she had been saying to make sense. “Aft

    Rebecca was taken aback by Kira’s words. If they weren’t going to the spa, where was Kira taking her to? And why did she lie?“Where are you taking me to?” She was calm, she didn’t want to get paranoid. Kira spared her a stare. “You’ll see when you get there. For now, I need you to stay calm, and just trust me. Okay?” Trust someone? Never again. But she had hope that Kira wouldn’t try to hurt her or do anything that would cause her harm.“Don’t make me regret this.” Kira returned her focus to the road. “I won’t.” Rebecca took a deep breath, hoping everything goes well. She was sure Axel would look for her if Kira tried shit.********* Axel stared at his phone for the umpteenth time. He had secretly texted Trent to call him and pretend something urgent came up, so he could leave, but Trent wasn’t replying his text, which was weird. He didn’t like the situation he was in. He was unwillingly having lunch in don Alessandro’s dining hall with the people he didn’t like seeing

    “Are you insane?” Rebecca flared up. She was sure she heard Kira right. “Are you drunk or probably high?” Kira scoffed. “Relax. Stop making a big deal out of it.” “It is a big deal. The fuck?” She couldn’t keep her calm. Barely thinking of it made her cringe. Seduce Trent? Axel’s friend like a brother? “I can bet on my life that Axel didn’t plan this with you. Where on earth did you get such irritating thoughts from?”“Calm down.”“Don’t fucking tell me to calm down!” She snapped. “What do you take me for?” Kira hit her forehead in frustration. “This is the problem you have. Allow me to explain!” It took a lot for Rebecca not to say a word. Only the sound of her breathing heavily was heard.“I want us to go for spa treatment, just the both of us. But Trent would insist on coming along for your safety and I want it to be just two of us, so I could tell you about what I found out and also take you to the private investigator…”“How does seducing him help?” She cuts in.“Okay may

    With Axel’s intense gaze on her, she felt pressured and it would be a shame to her if she didn’t reply the question. Slowly, she looked up at him. “Your actions, Axel, they speak a lot. Except you’re only pretending, and if that’s the case, I must say you’re doing a great job. You should consider joining Hollywood.” She didn’t intend to crack a mini joke, it just happened. She expected him to laugh or maybe chuckle, but nothing like that happened. His gaze remained hard and fixed on her, piercing deep as if he was staring into her soul. She shifted uncomfortably, wanting him to look away and when he didn’t, she looked down at the paper she was holding.“Are we still playing?” She had to say something to change the situation and the uncomfortable air.“No.” He replied curtly. His mood had changed and it made her wonder if she said anything wrong that instigated his change of mood.“Okay…” She stood up from the bed. “I should probably get going.” Axel didn’t say a word, in
