Leah povTwo weeks later My anger seethed within me, causing me to clench my fists tightly. "Can this guy be any more shameless?" I seethed in frustration. "You must be stupid, Mr. Axel. Do your worst, I don't care. We shall meet in court in two weeks' time," I spat out, my words dripping with contemptAs i turned to walk away, i could feel the furious heat rising in my cheeks. But just as i was about to escape the situation, Axel caught my arm. "Leah," he called out, but my rage consumed me, and refused to listen to whatever he wanted to say. Without a second thought, i spun around and delivered a resounding slap across his cheek, my five fingers leaving their mark. Swiftly, I jerked my arm out of his grasp and marched away, leaving behind the stunned Axel.As I stormed away, I could hear the sound of my heels hitting the pavement. The anger inside me was boiling, and it felt like it was taking over my entire being.*****"Welcome, contestants, to the second round of the fashion

Axel's PovIn the conference room"Is this the proposal you've prepared for this month's business plan?" I said in annoyance as I slammed the file on the table. Manager Kim's legs were literally shaking as he continuously wiped away the sweat on his forehead. "President Axel, I..." he stammered, lost for words.I looked around the conference room and saw the tired looks on the faces of all the workers. They had been working non-stop for the past three weeks, partially because I, as the president, had also been working over time. I wanted to take a break and clear my mind of thoughts about Leah and Jasper, but it didn't seem to be working. I sighed and said, "Rewrite the proposal again. You will be submitting it in three days' time."As I walked out of the conference room, I overheard someone whisper, "Phew! President Axel is really scary now. Thank God he didn't fire Manager Kim." It was clear that the tension in the room had not gone unnoticed.As I walked through the corridor, I

Leah's Pov"Thanks for your help today," I said, clasping my hands together as we walked out of the grocery store. "Erm....""Kian," he said, waggling his eyebrows as he used his hands to wave his hair backward.I smiled and replied, "Thanks a lot, Kian. I really appreciate it."Kian had helped me leave country H, and I was surprised when the adamant ticket collector quickly respected him and let me go. Kian had offered to let me ride on his private jet, making it faster for me to get here.It was already late by the time I finished at the hospital; the doctors had already removed the bullet, and Dad was no longer in critical condition. So, I had to go home and prepare dinner for Mom."Erm... Kian, I had to go home. I need to prepare dinner," I said.Kian nodded as he placed his hands in his pocket, wearing a black shirt and black pants. The first three buttons of his shirt were undone, showing his collarbones. His dark, tousled hair framed a strong jawline and deep, expressive eyes th

Axel's PovI stood up slowly from the bed as the curtains opened, letting in the sunlight. I made some coffee and looked out of the window. The province is a really peaceful place, and I couldn't help but think about how this was where Leah had grown up and also where she had raised Jasper. "Ah," I signed gently. "I should have had someone who will be giving me information about her; maybe I would have been brave enough to have chased after her."I sat in front of the computer in the room, typing and reading some files. Derek came in with some files and bowed slightly. "Has it been done?" I asked him without looking away from the computer. "Yes, President Axel," Derek nodded. He gave me the files, which I flipped open. "Location set already?" I inquired. "Yes, president," Derek said. "We found a perfect location at the business center downtown." I nodded my head and said, "Good. Let operation start immediately." "Yes, President," Derek replied.I dropped the files and looked at the co

Leah's PovTwo weeks laterAs we boarded the airplane, Mom gave me a sly smile and handed me a plastic bag filled with bright red tomatoes. "There are some fresh tomatoes in his bag, you can use it to prepare something delicious for both Kian and Micheal when you get back home," she said, her eyes filled with warmth. "Thanks, ma," I replied, hugging her tightly before we embarked on the flight.Once we settled into our seats, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. Dad had been discharged and was on the road to recovery, aside from the occasional pain from his wound. I had made the difficult decision to leave them and return home, citing work obligations as an excuse. The court hearing was scheduled for tomorrow, and I needed to ensure I was adequately prepared.*****Upon arriving home in the afternoon, I wasted no time in preparing dinner. Kian expressed his interest in seeing my home, and I couldn't refuse after all the help he had lent me.The familiar sound of Jasper's excited

Louisiana Pov"What?!" I exclaimed, my voice trembling with anger. I swept my arm across the vanity table, sending belongings crashing to the ground. Maria, my loyal maid, immediately knelt down and kept her head bowed. My anger tightened, my face flushed with frustration. "How dare he?" I muttered through gritted teeth.Turning to Maria, I demanded, "What did Grandpa say? Did he try to stop him?" Maria trembled as she spoke, "Grandpa tried to stop him." I narrowed my eyes, "Then how did Leah still win the case?"Maria hesitated, then explained, "The judgment was already in favor of the Russo family, but Axel objected and asked that the child should be given to Leah." She paused to wipe off her sweat, then continued, "Grandpa threatened him, but Axel said to Grandpa that if he should try to stop him, he will leave the Russo family."My eyes flickered in disbelief. "Axel threatened Grandpa because of Leah?" I seethed. "What did Grandpa do?" I demanded. Maria continued, "The old m

Leah's Pov"Cheers!" we said in unison as the sound of clinking glasses filled the air. "Mommy!" Jasper called out, pouting. "How come you guys are having wine while I am drinking milk?" Kian scoffed and said, "Because you are a baby," causing Jasper to purse his lips in refusal to acknowledge him.I cleared my throat and stood up with a glass of wine, feeling grateful for everyone's support. "Thanks, guys, for your help. Without your assistance, I wouldn't have achieved this victory," I said, bowing slightly. I turned to lawyer Kim, whose face was flushed with happiness due to the recent case win. "Thank you, Lawyer Kim, for your help. I am truly grateful," I expressed. Lawyer Kim chuckled, clinking his glass with mine. "I wouldn't have had this boost in my career without you," he said graciously, as we both took a sip of our wine.I poured another cup and looked towards Micheal, who had been busy eating. "Hey, Micheal," I said as I raised my glass to propose a toast to him. "

Axel's Pov"The fast-rising AJL company is putting most of the companies in the country to fright," the female broadcaster announced on TV. "Yes, the CEO remains mysterious as no one has ever seen him," the male broadcaster added."I think the Russo family should get prepared to lose their top position in the next ten years, because AJL group of companies is going to take over," the female broadcaster concluded. The male looked at her and said, "With President Axel around, dream on."Upon hearing their conversation, I couldn't help but smirk as I turned off the TV. I took a sip of my coffee and gazed out of the ceiling-to-floor window in the room. "AJL group of companies, mysterious CEO," I tsked in disdain, feeling a mix of annoyance and intrigue."Where is Axel?" Grandpa's angry voice echoed throughout the room. I turned around to find the old man walking in with his walking stick, his figure slightly bent with age. Little Nine was trying to stop him from coming in, but the old m
