❄️ CHAPTER 18 ❄️ Axion blinked repeatedly, his brain spinning in confusion as Phoenix kissed him. She finally pulled out, looking down shyly. It was then that Axion's brain started working once again. He pushed her off him and sprang up from the bed. " You pervert! " He wanted to yell in disgust but swallowed back the words. Staring at Phoenix, who pouted cutely, he lost count of what to say. Tightening his fist in anger, he just left without saying anything. Phoenix went after him immediately. " Axion " She called, hugging him from the back. " You are leaving me again," She mumbled, and that made him stop on his track. Closing his eyes, he exhaled deeply before turning to face her. " I wasn't leaving, I just wanted to go grab some water," He said with gritted teeth, forcing a smile on his lips. Phoenix smiled back at him. " Ok. Let's go brush and bath together instead " She suggested, and Axion shot her a glare almost immediately. " You..." He swallowed back the remaining wor
❄️ CHAPTER 19 ❄️ Phoenix is seen lying on the bed, unconscious and beside the bed were Axion and Glinda standing, staring at her peaceful face with folded arms. " Will she be ok? " Axion asked. " Of course. Don't worry, she's just sleeping and the medicine is using the opportunity to flush out the poison. By the time she wakes up, she will be as good as new " Glinda answered. " Thank goodness. I won't have to deal with her annoying behavior anymore " Axion hissed. " Don't be like that, you jerk. There is nothing wrong with taking care of your Phoenix " Glinda slapped him lightly in the arm making him scoff. Just then, Axion's rang. " Hello Gianna " He answered. His eyes widened. " What?! " He exclaimed and Glinda frowned her brows, wondering what was wrong. " Ok, I'll be right there. Stop crying, ok? " Axion ended the call. " What happened? " " Gianna's apartment got burnt down. I have to go now " Axion answered. " Oh my. Don't worry, I'll stay here and look after Phoenix. Y
❄ CHAPTER 20 ❄ After the kiss, Phoenix refused to go to Axion's room. She didn't have the courage to look at him after what he said she did. Night came and Axion, when Phoenix didn't come to his room, went downstairs to look for her. And there she was on the couch, snoring peacefully. Axion went back upstairs and came back later with a tilt, which he used to cover her up. Staring at her calm and peaceful face, he scoffed. " Do you seriously think you can handle the responsibility of being my Phoenix? " With that, he just left. THE NEXT MORNING A knock came on Gianna's door before it opened and Phoenix stepped in. Seeing her with a tray, Gianna smirked mischievously. " Thank goodness you're here. Here, make sure you make my bed and clean this room up before I'm back " She commanded much to Phoenix's surprise. She frowned deeply. " Excuse me? " " Are you deaf? Or don't you know your job? " Gianna snapped and a huff left Phoenix's lips. Gianna headed to the table and opened the
❄️ CHAPTER 21 ❄️ Axion on the other hand started looking for Phoenix after noticing she wasn't at the party anymore. He bumped into Gianna. " Have you seen Phoenix? " He asked. " No. Did something happen? " Gianna questioned back, feigning worry. " No " Was all Axion said to her and left. BACK AT THE RESTROOM " Enough!! " Phoenix roared in rage, pushing Jason away with all her might and that sent him flying across the room and slamming to the wall. He plopped to the floor with a loud thud, yelling out in pain. Jason looked at her and fear engulfed him on seeing her burning red eyes. Reaching out her hand, Phoenix used her power to start levitating Jason and bringing him to herself. " Calm down Phoenix, we can talk this out, can't we? " Jason chuckled nervously. Making sure he was close, Phoenix grabbed his neck tight, glaring at him in rage. Jason's neck started burning up making him yell and scream in anguish, struggling to break from Phoenix's tight grip but he was nowher
❄ CHAPTER 22 ❄ Immediately Axion entered his office, there was Gianna already waiting for him. She stood up as Axion walked over to the chair. " What did you just do Axion? " Gianna spoke up. " You left when it was almost time for the meeting. Why? " " Because you weren't around, Mr. Albert refused to give us a chance and now you've lost such a crucial partnership " She ranted. " Why did you lie to me? " Was the only question Axion threw at her which got her confused. " Huh? " " What are you talking about Axion? " She asked. " Last night you said you saw Jason and Phoenix making out in the restroom whereas it was nowhere near to the truth. Why lie about it? " Axion demanded. Gianna's eyes widened a bit in panic but she quickly hid it. " I didn't lie about it, I told you what I saw, " She said, trying to hide the fear on her face. " Really? Did you see everything with your own eyes? " Axion scoffed. " Not everything but someone told me she saw the two of them entering the l
❄ CHAPTER 23 ❄ The Princess of Terror and Phoenix reappeared in a shady room and Phoenix let go of her hand immediately. Looking around, fear engulfed Phoenix at the unfamiliar room they were in. " Who are you and what do want from Axion? " She managed to ask. The Princess of Terror turned to face her, an evil smirk on her lips. And to Phoenix's greatest horror, the Princess shapeshifted to her original form. Phoenix's eyes nearly popped on seeing who she truly was. " Gianna?! " She exclaimed in shock. " Surprise " Gianna grinned, dramatically throwing her hands. " You? " " How was my second surprise for today? " She questioned. " So it was you who attacked me? " Phoenix glared at her in anger. " No wonder I had a bad feeling the first time I saw you " " But you ignored the feeling, didn't you? " Gianna rounded up the words for her. " What do you want from me, Gianna? " Phoenix demanded making Gianna puff. " You aren't the one I'm here for, Phoenix. I'm here for Axion " Sh
CHAPTER 24 Phoenix unexpectedly saw herself in an unfamiliar place. Everywhere looked shady making it impossible for her to see clearly. Well except for the luminous light which shone making everywhere bright up. Looking up Phoenix saw an incredibly huge Fire Bird discerning from the clouds. It emitted so much light that Phoenix had to shade her eyes with her hand. She knew immediately that the bird was Bedelia. " Phoenix " The Fire Bird called and Phoenix immediately bowed in respect. " Yes," She responded. " You've appeared before me. Tell me what your desires are and I'll grant them for you " Bedelia said. With her head still bowed, " All I want is the power of a Phoenix " " My mate is in danger and needs me. I desire for you to bestow to me the power to protect him and all those I care about " Phoenix answered. " Your wish...shall be fulfilled " Phoenix's face beamed on hearing that. " Stretch out your hand and look at your palm. Tell me what you see in it, Phoenix " Bedel
❄ CHAPTER 25❄ Phoenix was at home, keeping herself active with what she loves doing the most, baking. She was done preparing a savory pancake for herself and was about to dig in when she began having a bad feeling. She had to place the pancake aside when her heart leaped in fear. Her hair tie glinted and a vision came up before her. It was a vision of Axion's car crashing into the tree. The spoon she was holding fell off her hand as she froze in great scare. × × × Gianna almost flew out of the windshield when it crashed with great speed into the tree but her seatbelt held her back. She ended up bumping her head lightly on the seat. Axion's head on the other hand was about to collide with the steering wheel when he felt something wedge him and bounce his head back. He closed his eyes, letting out a heave. " That was close " He mumbled. Gianna's eyes widened in dismay seeing as nothing happened to Axion. She was more than shocked. " How is this possible? Why didn't anything happe
