Alle Kapitel von Brother Luck(not): Kapitel 21 – Kapitel 30

I opened my eyes slowly. My head felt dizzy after trying to remember the incident at Axe's penthouse. Two scary-looking strangers stared at me sarcastically. They threatened me into standing in the corner of the elevator in fear. I could see them smiling wryly before I lost consciousness, and when I woke up. I realized my hands and feet were tied to a rusty blanket. The ceiling in this room also looked unkempt. Some dirt and worn colors on the walls indicated that I was in an abandoned building. Did Axe kidnap me to get here? Why?I was jolted from my empty thoughts when I heard the sound of several people approaching. My breath hitched in alarm when the door was violently kicked in, revealing several people with masks covering their faces. One of them lifted my chin roughly. His dark brown eyes stared vengefully at me."This is my luck. I've been waiting for this for a long time. Take my revenge to him!" That triumphant voice managed to confuse me. I didn't know where I was and who I

"Can mom ask you something?" she asked in a stifled voice.Switching topics, I thought. But I nodded anyway, albeit hesitantly. Hoping it wasn't a difficult question I was about to receive."Who got you pregnant?"Boom! My head felt like it was scalded by mom's question. What should I tell her now? I can't possibly tell her the truth. She'll be disappointed, not only in me but also in Axe. Even to herself."I don't know, mom. I was raped, the guy just left me." I stare straight ahead. I don't know why the lie slipped perfectly from my lips."Are you sure, honey?" mom asked reassuringly. I nodded slowly. I think mom knew I was lying. But she just silently let the lie run its course. Maybe she realized I needed a break from the bad thoughts that haunted me."All right. Now you should rest. The doctor said you shouldn't be exhausted. You lost a lot of blood after-" As if realizing something Mom stopped and looked at me skeptically."After what? Is my baby okay, is it still there?" I asked

"What's this, Ed?" I asked confused as the man came over to hand me a bag of groceries."Just look at it, Miss." I gave Edward a serious look then pulled out the object inside the grocery bag. A slightly glittering box made me look deeply at the man who was still faithfully standing beside me."At the hospital I told you that mister asked me to buy something for you. To replaced your two cell phones that you destroyed. I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to give them to you."I was silent as I listened to Edward's words. Why would Axe suddenly think of replacing my cell phone that was broken and thrown out the window that time. He was the first person to take that thing away from me, please add it to his list of sins if you like."Why did Axe change his mind?""I don't know, miss. Perhaps when mister is sober, you can ask him." I nodded in agreement. Edward was right. I could ask Axe directly when he regained consciousness."Then excuse me to return to mister company, Miss.""Take ca

I stared blankly at the door leaf of the room in front of me. After the incident at the park, I felt something had changed about Axe. He became more quiet than usual. Sometimes I'd see him daydreaming, so lost in his own thoughts. During breakfast and dinner, Axe would often play with the food on his plate instead of eating it. He was thinking too much about the events that had passed. I was afraid he'd blame himself again and do something he shouldn't do. I sighed heavily. It seemed like my duties were increasing. I have to keep a close eye on Axe and pay attention to his health. The loss he experienced made him neglect to take care of himself."Axe, can I come in?" I knocked lightly on the door. This wasn't his room, let alone mine. Do you remember the room Axe remodeled last time? Yes. After his work was done. Axe immediately locked himself in that room."Axe?" I called again. I sighed again. There was no answer from him yet. It made me think negatively, lest he do something like

I blinked at the fact that I'd been asleep for three hours. I should have been able to stay awake for the next two hours. I should have met Axe an hour ago like Edward said. Unfortunately, sleepiness could not be negotiated with. I just fell asleep after returning to the room. Tired. That's how I felt after leaving the garden full of heartbreaking scenes.I pulled back the blanket that covered almost my entire body, so eager to see him. I wanted to make sure that Axe was still controlled by what I said a few days ago. I was afraid he'd hurt himself again like he had."Sir is not inside, Miss." The familiar heavy voice managed to distract me. Edward was standing not far from Axe's room. Perhaps he knew that I would meet his master here."Where is he?"I tried to neutralize my heart that was beating violently after hearing Edward's statement. If Axe wasn't in his room, then where was he?"Master is in the practice room, Miss."I breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, the practice room sound
