Redemption: The president's second Chance chapter 13
Axel's Pov"Better than when I was with you," Leah stated nonchalantly, and I felt my grip tighten on the glass cup. Watching her lower her head as if I didn't matter made my smile alter. "Doesn't she miss me even for a second during these five years?" I pondered. "I'm sorry, Leah," I said, pausing to meet her eyes, which widened in shock. "For all the pain I caused you..."There was a profound silence as Leah lowered her head and said, "What's the use when the deed has been done?"I could sense the pain in her voice, despite her nonchalant demeanor. Gently rubbing the cup of coffee before me, I pleaded, "Give me the chance, Leah, to make up for all the wrongs I've done."Leah looked at me and uttered, "Axel Russo, I only allowed you to stay here because of Jasper. Do not ask for more than the limit I've given you.""Leah, please listen to me. I know I wronged you, but please give me the chance," I implored gently.Leah slammed her hands on the table in anger. "Do you think coming her

Leah's PovAxel, Are you my father? Jasper asked. I felt my throat tighten at his question. I had been at the kitchen door, listening to their conversation. I couldn't deny that Jasper truly needed a father figure in his life.Axel smiled at Jasper and tugged at his cheek. "Jasper, I..." he began."He is not your father," I interjected, cutting off whatever Axel was about to say. "I don't care, I don't want to know, and I don't wish to know.""Mummy!" Jasper called out to me. I smiled and ruffled his short hair. "Good morning, Jasper," I said, trying to push aside the tension in the room. I dragged a dining chair and sat on it, pouring myself a glass of water, all the while ignoring Axel's gaze. After some time, Axel greeted me. "Good morning, Leah," he said.I ignored his greeting and said, "I will be going to work early today, so pack up early and leave." I couldn't let Axel stay here, not at all. If I did, it might lead to me quickly forgiving him, as I know I am soft-hearted. Sil

Welcome contestants to the 9th edition of the fashion gala competition.... Please settle in your workstation as the first round of the competition will begin in an hour's time," the MC's voice resounded through the speaker.I carefully placed the last piece of pin on the cloth I was designing. Each workstation had been assigned to the ten contestants as a preparation area before the competition. The format had three stages, where only six contestants moved on to the second segment, and then just three contestants for the final round."Each brand line here is well-known in the country, except for ours. How we even got a slot was a miracle," Mia remarked as she dropped the last batch of materials on the floor. She pointed to the workstation next to ours, which was empty. "I wonder who owns this workstation," Mia mused.I shrugged my shoulders and continued with what I was doing. "I wonder who is so lucky to be our next-door neighbor," Jack said, joining in the conversation.Just then,

Louisiana PovI felt a surge of panic as Leah denied my accusations. It was clear I had to think fast, but my mind was whirling. When did I send people to kill her?"If I truly sent people to kill you, why are you still alive?" I asked her, my voice tinged with panic.Leah's face became petrified, her expression filled with shock. But in that moment, my resolve solidified. I lifted my chin and said proudly, "Do you think you can just smear my name?" Everyone's attention turned against Leah, and murmurs filled the hall. "I didn't know Ms. Leah could be this wretched. She even tried to smear Ms. Louisiana's name," a lady said, her disgust evident in her tone.I decided to play the part and acted more pitifully, sobbing gently. "I would never hurt you, Leah. You helped me take care of Axel for five whole years. Why would I want to kill you?" I sobbed. A man chimed in, saying, "Ms. Louisiana is so pitiful. I almost believed Ms. Leah." I felt a triumphant smirk play across my lips as Lea

Leah Pov"Mummy, mummy, mummy," Jasper's voice shook me from my slumber, and I jolted up and sat on the bed, immediately regretting it as a splitting headache throbbed in response. I held my head in my hands and groaned, "Oh my, why didn't someone tell me hangovers are really this bad?"Jasper looked at me with concern and said, "Some strange-looking men are at the door, and they asked to see you, mummy."I nodded, trying to shake off the grogginess as I grabbed my slippers and staggered out of the bedroom. "Where is Axel?" I asked, hoping that he could handle whatever the situation might be. Jasper spread out his hands and replied, "I didn't see him this morning."I nodded in understanding and walked towards the door, reaching out to open it. True to Jasper's words, there were four men in black suits standing in front of the house. "Good morning, Miss Leah," the leading man greeted me with a respectful tone.I looked at him and returned the greeting, "Good morning. How may I help

Axel's PovAs I turned and walked away, trying to maintain a sense of composure and not look back, I couldn't bear the pain in Leah's eyes. The weight of my actions weighed heavily on my heart, as I knew this was the second time I had deceived her for my own selfish reasons. Frustration gnawed at me, and I clenched my fists inside my pockets, unable to shake the guilt that washed over me."Axel," I heard Jasper's tiny voice call out as I moved away.I stopped in my tracks and turned around to see Jasper standing at the hospital exit door, clutching the Batman toy I had bought for him. Despite the tumult of emotions within me, I smiled, trying to maintain a sense of calm as I walked towards him."Hey, little man," I greeted him, attempting to ruffle his hair with raised hands. But Jasper pursed his lips and skillfully dodged my touch, moving to the side. I was left with my hands awkwardly suspended in the air, feeling the weight of my actions in his rejection.Jasper looked at me wi

Louisiana's Pov"Can't you be with a more sensible girl like Louisiana," Grandpa scolded Axel. I clenched my fists, feeling the familiar sting of hurt and betrayal. I glanced at Axel, whose gaze was lowered, his expression unreadable. So Leah had really been seeing Axel behind my back – that wretched girl. I stood up and picked up the glass cup which lay on the rug. "Grandpa," I said gently, trying to maintain composure, "Don't blame Axel, okay? He might have his own reasons." I knew I had to stay calm and composed at all times, especially with my impending role as the Mistress of the Russo family, which I was certain of. My place in Grandpa's heart was already stable."Master, the meal is ready," the butler announced, interrupting the tense atmosphere.***"Here Axel, have some meat," I said as I placed a piece in Axel's bowl. Axel continued to eat slowly, his thoughts still a mystery to me. I bit my lip in frustration, unable to read his expression. People thought that being the

Leah's PovMicheal winced as I helped clean his bruise, dropping the cotton bud. "Why did you go fight with Axel?" I asked. His fists tightened in anger as he hissed, "Why shouldn't I fight him?" Removing the rubber gloves I wore, I replied, "You shouldn't have." "What?!" Michael exclaimed. "Why shouldn't I fight the man who deceived you and made you like this?" he asked, looking at me."Axel is royalty, Michael. Fighting with him is equivalent to fighting with a king," I reasoned as I stood up to put the first aid box away."Royalty, my foot," Michael scoffed. I handed him a glass of orange juice and took one for myself. "Now, news of you fighting with Axel because of Louisiana is all over the news," I mentioned.Michael stopped sipping his juice and looked at me wide-eyed. "Who the hell is Louisiana?" he asked, surprised. I passed him my phone, and his eyes widened. "Wait, is it this cockroach that is called Louisiana? How am I fighting over her with Axel?" He gave me back my pho
