All Chapters of Brother Luck(not): Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Yes, sir.""'Miss hasn't regained consciousness yet, sir.""Yes, sir."The faint sound of heavy voices was my morning alarm. I opened my eyes and immediately realized that I was already in my room. My head felt a little dizzy, several fragments of last night's events rushed to remind me of the angry figure last night, Axe. Where is he now? Wasn't I supposed to look back at Axe's condition when I heard the chaos he caused? Then how come I'm here. Waking up in such a mess?"Good afternoon, Miss. What would you like to eat?" That heavy voice startled me."Ed, what are you doing here?" I asked incredulously. I pulled the blanket closed, making sure my clothes were still safely in place. Thankfully, there was nothing missing on my body."Mister asked me to look after you, miss.""What's wrong with me?""You fainted last night, Miss. The doctor said you were exhausted."I nodded in understanding. It was no secret that living with Axe would be physically and mentally exhausting. It was unfo

I looked at myself in the mirror. In front of me was a frail-looking woman trying to look okay. I forced a smile until my reflection did the same. My appearance was perfect. It looks like Axe deliberately gave me a decolette look dress instead of a bustier look, so only my neck and chest are perfectly exposed. My hair is styled by his men in a messy bun style. The man prepared me in such detail that I almost didn't recognize myself.I walked slowly out of the room and towards Axe. He looked so handsome in his black tuxedo and matching bow tie. I'm not complimenting him, because that's the fact. I can say that Axe is one of those men who is exceptionally good looking. He's very handsome indeed. Unfortunately, his vices masked that fact in my eyes.Axe held his arm out to me. I stared at it for a moment before taking it. His piercing stare forced me to. I rolled my eyes lazily. Walking hand in hand with him was like walking to my own death. Every breath I took was heavy. Besides, the co

"Bridgette open the door, dear." Morine's knock and coaxing voice made me hesitate. Should I go out or stay in my room avoiding Axe.I took a breath and let it out roughly. I reluctantly opened the door to the room considering I had no more rights than just hitchhiking."Bridgette, do you have a story to tell?" asked Morine. We sat on the edge of the bed, Morine gently smoothing my slightly messy hair.Without being asked, I hugged the middle-aged woman in front of me. She was like a second mother to me. Although we were strangers who finally got to know each other, but I loved her very much. Her sincerity and kindness made her worthy of love."I'm sorry, Bridgette. I didn't know that Xelle was the person you had been referring to. I also didn't expect her to do such a bad thing to you. I told her not to bother you. But-" Morine stopped her sentence. Her gaze turned sad."He told me. He can't live without you." I laughed bitterly at that. Was Morine now defending Axe? I couldn't belie

"What's wrong, why are you looking at me like that?" I asked spontaneously. The atmosphere at dinner was suddenly gloomy. Accompanied by the sharp gaze that had been directed at me. I didn't feel like I'd done anything wrong to him. But the look in his eyes clearly said something different."You owe me!" Axe's deep, husky voice made me think.That should have been what I told him. I don't owe Axe anything. He's the one who owes me an answer.'I know you were here'. His words were still ringing in my head. How he knew where I was at that time. And the coincidence yesterday, where it turned out that Morine was his adoptive mother, was really difficult for me to accept. Did Axe have something planned for me at that time?I put my spoon and fork down on the plate hard, letting the three objects come together to make a sound. I looked straight at Axe who was still faithfully watching my every move."You owe me the most," I finally said. Making the man I'd been with burst out in momentary l

"What's going on, Axe?" I peppered him with questions again when we finally arrived at his mansion. During the trip the man was silent. Every now and then I saw his hands shaking for no reason."You act weird." Still no answer from him. Axe just sat quietly at the bar table. I'm sure his mind was wandering. Seeing him like that made my head feel even dizzier. I don't know, the moment he pulled me running and the whole way home I wasn't feeling well. I felt nauseous at times, but I was still able to endure it well. But seeing that Axe's situation wasn't like usual, I thought I needed something that could make me comfortable. I needed a break.After just a few steps, I felt like I had a boulder thrown on top of my head, which made it feel even heavier. My vision became blurry. I could still vaguely see Axe, who remained where he was. My hand was trying to reach his shoulder. Unfortunately, at the same time everything was getting dark until Axe's voice shouted my name loudly. My body wa
