I slowly opened my eyes until an unfamiliar things welcomed me. When all my senses awaken, that's the only time when I realized I was in another room.
Another room? I quickly stood up because of that realization. Where am I? What am I doing here? I roamed my eyes in this room. I even hit my head, trying to remember things as to how I got here.
"Hitting your head when you woke up? You look crazy," I quickly turned my attention to the person who spoke. My two eyes widened.
It was Axis! Crap. So, I am not dreaming? Yeah, I guess I am not really dreaming because it was real... my real nightmare... And Axis is that nightmare.
I narrowed my eyes on him while he was leaning on the window frame close to the bed with his arms crossed. I didn't even notice him when I woke up.
Wait... as far as I remember, I slept on the couch. How come that I woke up in this bed? And don't tell me he's watching me the whole time while I'm asleep? Why do I suddenly felt unconscious to myself?
"Get up there woman," I got back to my senses when he spoke.
"Really. And after this, I am going home," I blurted out.
"Good."
"And I'm hoping I won't ever meet you again," I emphasized each word.
"Better. It's as if I wanted to meet you as well," he replied emphatically. I just closed my palms in annoyance.
"Get out you stupid idiot!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. I was really annoyed because of him. Just the sight of him already annoys me!
But instead of going out, he went near me and bowed slightly so he could level his face on me. I just got stuck in the headboard because he's face is too close to mine. What the hell does he think he is doing?
"As far as I remember, this is my room woman. So if there's someone who should go out, I think it should be you," he softly whispered then he smirked at me.
I tried to control myself before I could hit this man.
"Fine! Eat this room if you want!" I jumped up and left his bed but before I could get away from him, he whispered something that made my blood boil even more.
"Easy there baby. You're too damn hot," he playfully teased. I disgustedly rolled my eyes at him before I finally came out.
Gosh! He's really trying my patience!
When I went downstairs, I caught up with Aunt Ally and Uncle Fordee at the dining table.
"Don't tell me you already made our soon to be grandchildren?" My two eyes widened at Axis' parents' question and I secretly cursed myself because I was wearing Axis' white shirt. Oh crap!
"We're still on the process Mom and Dad," my blood got hotter when I heard his voice behind me. If it wasn't because of his parents, I might have really tripped him over.
They invited us to take breakfast with them and I did not refuse. We're back to scenario again like what happened yesterday. They keep insisting that I am their son's fiancee even though I am really not.
Gosh! I'm giving up now. They really don't want to believe me even though I tried hard to explain them everything, but still, it's of no use.
"Where do you live? Or where should I drop you?" I was here again inside Axis' car and definitely he was told to bring me home safe by his parents.
"Sweet Havens," I simply answered. It was the condominium building where I stay at. Then he started driving his car heading our way there.
"You're still stupid but thanks anyway." I told him when we reach the building. When I got out of his car, I went straight to my unit.
I texted Aishi that I could not go in the restaurant for now. I'm not in the mood. Really not in the mood.
I went inside the comfort room and took a bath. After that, I lay down on my bed. I feel like my body is too tired or maybe I was just stressed because of the things that are happening to me right now.
I actually tried to open my account earlier but I can't log in. I think someone really hacked it. Since I can't open it, I logged into my second account and what greets me is the news and it was all about me and with that Axis guy. It was full of random comments. And it's really stressing the hell out of me! Because of that, I fell asleep.
I just woke up when someone knocks on my door. I really didn't want to stand up but the knocks outside won't even stop so I had no choice but to left my bed frustratingly.
And who will visit me here? Aishi? Then she should at least inform me, right?
"Wait," I said quite loudly. I was on the stairs when I heard the knocking getting louder.
"Just a moment," I informed but it's making me annoyed already. Doesn't this person know how to wait? Does he not know who he is harassing?
"I told you just a moment! Don't you understand — Mom, Dad," I was stunned when I saw them, it's my parents. What are they doing here? As far as I know, they have never visited me here because I was the one who pays visit to them on the mansion, why so sudden?
They went inside and sat on the couch while I headed in the kitchen and got drinks for them.
"Mom, Dad, why did you suddenly—"
"When do you plan telling us the truth?" My mom cut me.
"Tell you what?" I curiously asked.
"My God Yasha Reese Heuson! Won't you really tell us about your relationship and that you two are already engaged?" Mom nagged and I just let out a deep breath. Here we go again.
"Mom, Dad, did you believe that too?" I asked them unbelievably. "Look, whatever you have heard, whatever you have read, whatever you have seen, whatever article it is, the news about me is just a pure misinformation, misunderstanding, a misinterpretation. So definitely, that was just a fake news." I explained tiredly then I leaned against the wall.
My mom walked towards me and, "Argh, Mom! You don't have to hit me in my head!" I complained when she hit me on the head.
"How can we believe you? You have so many pictures together with that guy," my eyes widened when Mommy showed me the picture and on that picture, Axis took me in this condo and that happened just this morning when he drove me here at Sweet Havens.
Don't tell me someone is following me now? Darn! This is one hella pain in the ass!
Axis released one of my hands and stroke my cheek. I just stood quietly and just stared at him. Every word he says seemed to seal in my heart. Every opening of his mouth seemed to remind me how things between us started.My heart is beating so fast and it doesn't want to stop. Maybe because it was Axis who said all those words, and it's Axis—the guy who can only make my heart beats fast like this.Unannounced, he suddenly kneeled in front of me and I don't know how to stop my emotions anymore. Locking my eyes into his, he took out a small box on his pocket and as he opened it, a 10 carat chopard blue diamond ring with micro pave diamonds popped up in front of me. My tears just flowed as I stared straight at him."From this exact place and exact spot, and just like the same day when I first encounter you... Yasha Reese Heuson, I want you to marry me." I couldn't hold back my tears.He's right. This place is where it all started. This place is where
"On your pose." The photographer instructed Yasha and she has to follow what was being instructed to her. She's wearing a beige modified A-line gown, showing a dreamy and whimsical look on the camera.After all the things that happened, she is back to the thing she really wants to do, a place where she fits perfectly, that is the modeling industry and they are now rushing things for her 10th anniversary.Done with the laborious preparation they had, the day came for her agency to launch the magazine cover they had prepared.‘Yasha Reese Heuson graces the cover of the highly anticipated three-cover special of the Big Fashion Issue of Starlight Modeling Agency, celebrating her come back in the modeling industry as they launch their newest 10th anniversary magazine cover.’After all the trials she has gone through, at times when everyone is feasting her name because of the news related to her, despite the events where almost everyone has turned away and judged h
Axis' Point of ViewTime quickly passed by. I'm grateful that Yasha and I surpassed those things that happened between the two of us. For the second time around, issue about us came out again, but unlike before were people bombarded us especially Yasha with hateful comments, the reason of our previous issue is now being discussed.People learned that those things that happened were part of our sacrifices. As much as I want them not to bring back the topic, I can't control their thinking. In every issue, people always have their own point of view. So I can't blame them for whatever they want to say."Lando, how's my schedule today?""Sir, you are free the whole day," he answered.Lando was my new secretary. Regarding what happened with Angeli, I have to find for a new one as her replacement. I'm disappointed with her, but I actually understood her because she, me, and Yasha went through the same thing at Kelly's hands.About Lando, yes
For all the things Kelly Jocson had caused me, I abhor her, but thanks to her unsuccessful plan anyway. If it wasn't because of her stupidity, I should not have known Axis.That stupidity of hers is the reason why I have Axis in my life now, so despite the sufferings and the troubles she brought to us, that's one of the things I can be thankful for all she did.I left Angeli and Honeyleth after talking to them. If they're asking for my forgiveness, I could give it to them, but not at this moment. I understand them. I know all of us will do things even if it's against our will just to protect our loved ones. From the decision they made, I also understand them.I can actually forgive them, but what they did to me was really painful and they deserve to pay for the mistakes they made. I will go to them myself when my heart is ready to forgive them, but not now."Axis, hey! Get off me, will you? I might get burn." I laughed while trying to push him away.&nbs
"No. That's impossible! You can't do this to me, can you?" I couldn't find the right words to ask. This is not true. They are just fooling me."Ma'am Reese, s-sorry." And it was as if cold water had been poured on me when she said that. Sorry? Does that mean it's really true?"W-what? Why? What did I do to you? Tell me, what did I do to you?" My tears were already falling."Ma'am Reese, sorry. S-sorry." She apologized. She tried to hold my hand but I backed away from her."What's my fault with you?! Tell me, what's my fault with you, Honeyleth? Why are you doing this to me?!" I couldn't help but let out the resentment I was feeling.My gaze shifted between the two of them—Angeli and Honeyleth. Of all the people who can do this to me, why them? Why did they do this to me? How could they?"W-why? Tell me... why? I treated you like my family even though I'm not related to you. I've been a good person to the both of you, but why is this? Why did
"Do you know how dangerous that offer is? What if they killed you?You don't know who those men were! What if they did something to you knowing that you went there alone—" I immediately hugged Axis tightly and that caused him to stop talking."I don't mind how dangerous it was. I can say that everything is now okay, Axis. That is what all I want, to make everything all fine. I once sacrificed for your sake and I will not hesitate to do it again for you." I felt Axis hug me in return. I don't know how many minutes had passed since we had just hugged each other."I was afraid because of what you did, but you don't have any idea how proud I was woman." He gently stroke my hair and I squeezed my body to him even harder.All trials and tribulations have endings but that won't end if you don't fight back.I didn't stay long in the hospital after I woke up. To be honest, I'm so sick of it. Hopefully, this is really my last stay here because over the past few months,
