Kara’s POV.

I thought I was losing my mind. After returning from the shopping spree, I’d tried my best to be as cheerful as possible. I hated that Axel always blamed himself for everything that happened to me. I know what I saw on that street. I saw Jade Black walk on that pavement and I saw her smile at me. I couldn’t have mistaken.

But as I sit now at the tip of my bed, I start to question myself. Did I really see Jade walk out of that store and smirk at me? Or was it, as the doctors had concluded, my mind playing tricks on me, using the events of the past to haunt me?

Two days later, I finally convinced Axel to leave the house and not remain here, leaving all his work outside this house idle on my account.

This morning, I made sure to send him back to work while I have the house to myself. Also, because I knew I had some self reflecting to do. I kept repeating everything the doctor had said in my head. Only I can decide to let all this trauma go. And that is why I’m walking int

    Kara’s POV. “So, what do you think?” I asked Sean, who looked very much impressed with my painting as soon as he walked into the room, and I revealed it to him. He just stood there as if he’d just been struck by lightning, mouth agape as he watched the painting before us. After showing the painting to Axel yesterday, he suggested I call Sean to show it to him as he poured us both a glass of wine on his kitchen counter.Intuitively, I thought against displaying this particular artwork in Sean’s gallery because I felt that it meant more than just some paintings that I created whenever I felt inspired. This one was different. This one is for me. This one had a meaning. But as I sat alone and gave it another long thought, I realised the world deserves to see it, appreciate it. And try to crack the meaning of it. So picked up my phone and called Sean. Lucky for me, he said he had heard about what happened to me from Terra and was going to come by the house later to see how I was doing

    Axel’s POV. Once I heard the shattering glass on the floor, I knew something was wrong. But as Kara’s shrilling scream follows it, I turn around quickly to find her clutching her ears, pink paint shattered in patterns at her feet. She’s shivering by the time I get to her, as if she had seen a ghost. When I turned around and saw her grabbing her hair and forcing her eyes to the floor, I dashed to hold her without a second thought. “Kara,” I call softly and try to hold her hands, but she pushes me off, flinching away from my touch. I stop for a moment, finding her movement strange. She never pushes me away. But as if she had thought I was somebody else, she looked back up at me quickly, her eyes meeting mine and shattering me. They had fear in them. After many years of knowing Kara, I don’t think I've ever seen this side of her. Scared. Terrified. The Kara I know has always been a strong, independent woman who wouldn’t stand nonsense and wasn’t afraid of anybody. “Axel….” She murm

  • Two Months Before Leaving You   Chapter-76

    Kara’s POV. Axel’s mother made sure we had a good time before the crack of dawn the next day. Terra called Axel in the late hours of the night, wanting to discuss business, and as soon as the day broke the next day, Axel told me about a business he needed to attend to urgently. What got my heart fluttering after we arrived in the city was how Axel kept to his word. He never left me out of his sight, even when he needed to meet with Terra for some business, and I demanded that I stay back at the house. And as I sat in an empty office watching Axel and Terra talk about business on her conference table through the glass walls separating us, I realized how calm my life has suddenly become since the kidnapping. Everything seems so quiet and peaceful now. I haven’t heard back from Jade, as Axel had predicted, even from Derrick, to my surprise. Derrick would usually be calling me by now, either proposing one business partnership or another in his attempts to get me back under his wings.

  • Two Months Before Leaving You   Chapter-75

    Kara’s POVI stand up with an urgency and hurry over to him. I’ve seen Axel angry many times before but nothing like this. I’ve seen him upset many times when Derrick harassed me, or when some companies I tried to partner with tries to use me and take advantage of me, but nothing like this one. Whatever just happened is bigger than what I’m used to. “Axel, what happened?” I ask frightfully. Axel looks from his phone’s screen that has gone dim, lights out to see me. Goddamnit Axel. I’m losing it by the second. Every second he just stood there looking at me without saying a word was throwing me further and further into edge. Is he gonna tell me what happened or not? Or do I need to smack it out of him? “Axel, what’s going on?!” I add more octave to my voice. “It’s…… it’s my mother, Kara,” he stammers incoherently, my heart hammering in my chest, “She had a heart attack.”I froze as the words hit me and instantly go from worrying about him to pitying him. I knew Axel has never been

  • Two Months Before Leaving You   Chapter-74

    Kara's POV. I woke up to the shrill sound of something frying from the kitchen and the tantalizing aroma that came with it. I squint my eyes as I try to adjust to the brightness of the room. The room seemed too bright for morning, and for a moment I actually wondered what time it was. Afternoon, perhaps? I finally pry my eyes open to the morning brightness seeping into the room through the open window. I groan tiredly as I try to sit up. Then a big smile crosses my lips, accompanied by a vibrant blush that stains my cheeks because my mind did a quick thing where images of past events flash through my brain like lightning. The image of Axel seated on the edge of this bed as he tended to me while putting me to bed, his hands gently caressing my skin and hair, flashed through my eyes. I get off the bed after getting myself away from my thoughts. Axel's room is extremely flashy, and a bed too wide for a man living alone, in my opinion. But Axel has the
