That same morning, Axel assembled the fake investors he had recruited to sabotage Luis’s business in the living room. Victor was among them, positioned beside Andrew just behind the couch where Axel sat.

Audrey, however, stayed home. There was no chance she would ever return to the Hawthornes.

"I didn’t expect we’d meet here today," one of the men said. "I went to your place earlier, but the doors were wide open and everything was in disarray."

His eyes moved cautiously between Axel and An

  • Revenged Love    Chapter 122

    The next morning, Mia woke before her alarm had the chance to ring. Today felt different. It was supposed to be her last day. Instead... She'd never looked forward to going to work this much. No matter what she did... The corners of her lips just wouldn't stay down. If anyone had asked why she looked so happy, she probably would've blurted it out without thinking. I'm staying! I'm really staying! A few minutes later, she stood outside the hotel, waiting for the driver Axel had promised would pick her up. Somehow... Their conversation from the previous night refused to leave her mind. Especially one particular sentence. "You're not everyone." She could still hear his voice. Her cheeks warmed all over again. The cold morning breeze swept past, making her shiver. Thankfully, her trousers and long-sleeved shirt kept most of the cold away. "Stop thinking about him." She'd repeated that sentence to herself at least five times already. It hadn't helpe

    Later that night, after finally catching up on some sleep and learning a few more Russian phrases, Mia stepped out onto the balcony. She was dressed warmly in an oversized blue sweater, loose pink striped trousers, and thick socks. A mug of coffee warmed her hands while the cold wind played with her hair. Lightning flickered across the distant sky, painting the city in silver before darkness returned. For a while, she simply admired the view. Then something below caught her attention. She looked down. The smile faded from her face. Several men in dark suits stood around the hotel's swimming pool. One... Two... Three... No. There were too many to count at a glance. Mia frowned. What on earth was going on? There had to be an explanation. Maybe they were someone's bodyguards. Someone important could've checked into the hotel. Or perhaps the management had increased security around the grounds. ...Though that seemed a little excessive. Her gaze li

    The next morning came much sooner than expected. Mia barely slept. Ever since Luis's name had been mentioned the previous night, her mind had refused to rest. Why now? Why was the past suddenly finding its way back into her life? Hadn't she already suffered enough? She wanted peace. Just... Peace. Yet it felt as though someone was determined to make sure she'd never have it. Sometime before dawn, exhaustion finally claimed her. The sleep lasted only a short while before morning came. Axel hadn't slept either. For him, that was hardly unusual. What was unusual... Was that, for the first time in a long while... His mind refused to focus on the problem. Instead... It kept returning to the person who had somehow quieted it. Mia. To the impossible sense of calm she'd left behind after making him fall asleep. He frowned. That shouldn't have happened. It wasn't supposed to happen. Yet... The more he thought about it, the less surprising it bec

    "I thought I told you not to wander off on your own." Axel. Mia had barely begun to smile. The next instant, Axel's grip tightened. Without explanation, he dragged her behind him. She stumbled. Then- Bang! The sound of gunfire swallowed the room. Mia flinched violently, her heart slamming against her ribs. For a split second, she couldn't understand what had just happened. Then something clattered against the marble floor. Her eyes instinctively followed the sound. A man stood several metres away. His arm was still half-raised. A pistol spun across the floor, having slipped from his hand. A gun. Someone had been aiming a gun at her. Mia froze. Slowly, her gaze shifted to Axel. Smoke curled faintly from the muzzle of the pistol in his hand. He stood perfectly still. His arm remained outstretched. His expression hadn't changed. Then— Bang! The second shot thundered through the ballroom. Mia flinched again, instinctively pressing close

    The evening wore on. It had been a long day, and an even longer night. Eventually, Mia excused herself to use the bathroom. Axel didn't let her go alone. With a brief nod, he instructed one of his bodyguards to accompany her. She found it a little odd. Under normal circumstances, she might even have argued. But after everything that had happened, she decided against it. His gaze followed them until they disappeared into the crowd. Moments later, the second bodyguard, the one who had slipped away shortly after they arrived, returned at a brisk pace. He leaned in and spoke quietly into Axel's ear. "Boss... it's here." He straightened almost immediately. Axel's expression remained unreadable. "Took you long enough." "My apologies, Boss." Axel rose unhurriedly, fastening the button of his jacket. "Anything?" The guard gave a slight nod. "I'd rather show you than explain it." A brief pause. "Lead the way." The guard turned without another word.

    Andrew leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the laptop on his desk. Although the office was brightly lit, the floor-to-ceiling glass walls made the darkness outside impossible to ignore. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Who exactly had made Axel ask for extra undercover security at the event? It wasn't as though they had enemies lining up outside their doors. At least, none that Andrew could think of. There had been Luis. But Axel had dealt with that. As for everyone else... No one came to mind. Unless someone had taken Axel's coldness a little too personally. He almost smiled. Unlikely. This had to be something else. Axel hadn't explained himself. He'd simply instructed Andrew to increase security around the venue. And that was all Andrew needed to hear. Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Andrew's thoughts scattered instantly. He looked up. Before he could call the visitor in, the door swung open. The moment he saw who it was, his

    Later that night, it was exactly twelve o’clock, and even when it was not this late, the room was never bright. It was so dim that one would strain to read anything unless they moved very close to the dying lamp beside the bed. Light. He hated it. He had grown so painfully used to the darkness

    Axel remained perfectly still as Mia stepped inside. She did not notice him at first. Her eyes wandered across the living room, taking it all in. The space felt warm and comfortable, nothing like the stiff, unwelcoming rooms of her parents’ house. Axel, on the other hand, caught her scent immed

    Mia quickly turned around, and seeing who it was, she let out a heavy sigh. "Angela… why would you do that?" Angela laughed. "Did I scare you?" "Scare me? You almost gave me a heart attack!" She kept walking, Angela falling into step behind her. "Why are you here so early?" Mia asked as she r
