Axel's Pov"Master, this is where the guy confessed to meet with M, during their mission," Little Nine said as soon as we came to a stop.I looked over at the clinic. It was a private hospital with a huge sign that read Milka Hospital. It had been in existence for over six years now, and it was rumored that the doctor had a magic touch. However, his face was never seen as he always wore a mask whenever he saw patients."That's pretty normal; most doctors always wear a nose mask when they are at work," I said to Little Nine."I know master, but his is quite different. Even the workers at the hospital never saw his face before," Little Nine said.I gently rubbed my lips with my thumb. "Always wearing a mask, was he afraid that his scar would scare people away?"Are the backups here yet?" I asked Little Nine as I made to go out."Yes, master, they are already here," Little Nine replied. I nodded and got down from the car. "Stay alert," I said to him.As I got to the entrance of the clini
Leah's Pov,The room was quiet, except for the TV's voices that suddenly caught my attention. "Master, Little Red, called out as he stood up abruptly looking at the TV. I turned to look at the screen and saw Axel being handcuffed and taken away by the police. My heart skipped a beat. "Axel?!" I muttered, blinking my eyes, hoping it was just a dream. I reached for my phone to call him, but it wasn't going through. Panicked, I turned to Little Red. "Let's go," I said, my voice filled with worry."Leah, Hannah called after me, but I refused to wait. My heart filled with worry, "Axel, that liar," I screamed in my heart. I felt like tearing his face apart. As we sat in the waiting room, I hoped that it was all a lie. How could Axel be arrested? The weight of worry and questions filled my heart when I found out that he had gone alone to face M but fell into M's traps instead. "Men! They are scum," I seethed in anger.Suddenly, Axel was walked in by a police officer, his clothes changed i
Leah's PovI took a desperate breath, relief flooding through me as the police arrived. It was short-lived, however, as M suddenly held my neck and placed a knife against my skin, sending a shiver of fear through my body. "Stay where you are," M screamed, his voice filled with a chilling intensity. As his grip tightened, and the knife inched closer, I felt like I was on the brink of death. This type of scene had always seemed like a distant nightmare, only seen in movies. I pleaded silently with the police in my mind, "Please don't come closer," I thought, feeling the cold touch of the blade against my skin. I was never this close to death before, and the fear was suffocating.The police stood still, unsure of their next move. "Drop your weapons," they called out, trying to remain in control of the situation. "So that you can arrest me? Not possible," M sneered, his voice filled with defiance. "If you're going to get me, I'd rather go down with one person," he threatened, sending a
Leah's PovI clutched the report tightly in my hand, feeling a rush of excitement and joy bubble up inside me. "Congratulations Mrs. Russo, you are three weeks pregnant," the doctor's voice thundered in my ear. I was filled with an overwhelming mix of emotions; I laughed, cried, and then laughed again. This baby had been long awaited, a dream finally coming true.The thought of sharing this wonderful news with Axel filled me with anticipation. I walked briskly to the sleek black car waiting for me at the other side of the road. As I settled in the back seat, the chauffeur asked, "Ma'am, where do we go next?" I pondered for a moment, contemplating the best way to celebrate this momentous occasion. "Take me to the grocery market," I told the driver. A good news like this should be shared over a delightful meal and a glass of wine.The car ride was filled with my continuous grinning as I read the report over and over again, rubbing my stomach gently and silently asking, "Are you the
Leah's PovThe following morning, as I sat in the dining room, waiting for Axel to come home, my mind raced with thoughts of reasoning things out with him. Perhaps he would reconsider; after all, I couldn't fathom leaving behind a marriage that I had grown so accustomed to over the years. My contemplation was suddenly interrupted by the honking of a car outside. I quickly rose and was shocked to see Axel walk in with a lady.Axel was 199cm tall, towering over the room, and was dressed in a casual white sweater paired with black pants. His eyes, blue as the ocean, gave him an unparalleled allure. The lady standing beside him, despite appearing slightly unwell, radiated a quiet beauty. At 160cm tall, her hair flowed down her waist like a waterfall, and she was wearing a white knee-length gown. As Axel gently guided her into the house, they looked like a match made in heaven."Axel," I called out, my eyes brimming with tears. Watching the man I had shared a bed with, caring for another
Five years laterLeah's Pov"I won't let you take my grandson away!" my dad screamed, his voice echoing through the room.I looked at my dad, feeling the weight of his resistance bearing down on me. "Dad," I called out calmly, "Jasper needs radiation therapy after his brain tumor surgery. The province doesn't have enough medical facilities, so they recommended us to take him to Country H."My dad snorted and muttered, "Wasn't it Country H where you met that man? Hmmph, I won't allow you to take my grandson away from me, even if I have to die."Turning to my mom, I exclaimed, "Mom, please help me."Sitting down on the sofa, I sank my face into my hands. My dad would never support my decision to go back to Country H, but I had no other choice. It was the best place for Jasper to receive the radiation therapy he needed, and I had to do it for my son's sake."I won't agree for you to take my precious grandchild from me," my dad said stubbornly."Do you prefer him being isolated from his p
Axel's PovMy lips quivered as I looked at the figure who had just planted a kiss on the window. "Leah?" I muttered. "What's Leah doing in country H?"I watched as the woman looked confused as the car drove by. I gripped the laptop on my legs tight, feeling a surge of emotions. Could that be Leah? Leah of five years ago had long, silky hair that felt like silk to touch, but this lady had a short bob cut. However, I couldn't be mistaken by the mole between her eyebrows."Master," Secretary Derek called out, "I am so sorry about the mess on the window; I will get it cleaned up immediately."I looked at my secretary, who was already sweating. All my workers knew I am a clean freak and that I couldn't condone a speck of dust. I looked towards the love-shaped kiss, which reminded me of her kiss. "Don't bother," I smirked. "Don't bother cleaning it.""Boss is really angry," I heard Little Nine, who was in the driver's seat, whisper to Derek. He continued, "I wonder what family that lady c
Axel's PovLate in the night, At the city Club, Vvip room"Here, have some alcohol," Marvin passed a glass of alcohol to me as he sat down on the sofa opposite me. I closed my eyes and ignored the looks of the others around me. The atmosphere was lively, but I felt out of place. It had been years since I last joined my friends for a night of clubbing."What is Axel doing here? Now tonight clubbing won't be fun," Tony whispered to the group. Our group consisted of me, Tony, Joel, and Marvin. Each of us had our own unique personality - Marvin in the medical field, Tony in the entertainment industry, known for his flashy dressing, and Joel, the quiet one, often lost in his own thoughts, is into oil and gas. They were all avid night clubbers, while I had long since stopped."Why are you here tonight?" Marvin questioned, his eyes mischievous. "Brother Axel, do you need me to help you look for hot babes, like this one over here?" he gestured to a lady beside him, earning a hearty laugh fr
