"Listen to me carefully. Your red card is with me, Mr. Florenso. Now you'd better get those bastards out of here. I'm sick of seeing your faces."Axe ended his sentence by taking a step towards me. As soon as I saw the two men leave, I saw the shaved head limping away. He immediately squatted down in front of me. Giving me a look full of guilt.Not wanting to see it, I immediately looked away. My heart feels squeezed every time I remember that Axe was the one who brought me to a place like this."Look at me."He cupped my face lightly. His look of regret was obvious. Is what I'm seeing true? Why does my heart refuse to believe it. If Axe cared about me, he wouldn't have chosen this way to punish me in the first place."Why did you let them touch you?"What exactly was in Axe's head? He expected me to fight back and get hit more, is that it?I really don't understand what he wants. If he wanted to hurt me. He could do it directly. Didn't I often put up wit

"Axe." I knocked again on his bedroom door. Since the incident in the kitchen, he hadn't left the room at all. He was really like a virgin girl who was angry because his request wasn't honored. I even stood in front of his door twice and he had no intention of opening the door for me.Actually, I could have pressed the door knob to see if it was locked or not. But the last sentence from him when we were on the roof top was still ringing in my ears. I can't be presumptuous, my status in his eyes is just a bed warmer."Axe."Still no answer. Oh, come on. It's almost seven in the evening. Does Axe want to skip dinner and not take his medicine?"I'll come in if you don't open the door for me," I threatened even though there was no reply.What was Axe doing inside to not respond to me?I didn't want to question it further. Finally, with great reluctance, I barged in. The first thing I saw was some of his belongings on the floor. Maybe Axe took out his frustra

"Why are you suddenly asking me to clean up my clothes?" I asked as I pulled the suitcase into the car.Axe is strange. Half an hour ago he woke me up and gave me a medium-sized suitcase, not forgetting to ask me to prepare some clothes. And now I'm being led out of the mansion with all kinds of questions in my head.What is Axe going to do?"We're going to Canada," he replied, still busy with the laptop on his thigh."What for?""I'm building a school there. Seeing the site, making sure how many percent of the building is built.""Can I come?""No, you can't. You'll go straight to the hotel when we arrive.""Why?""You can't come. It's very dangerous out there." Axe closed the laptop roughly, draped the square thing to the side then pulled my body over his lap."I don't want anything to happen to you. Understand." My body was lowered into his embrace. Axe inhaled the scent of my body deeply, then stroked my back lightly."I can take care

My eyes stare straight at the broad back of the man standing at the cash register, paying for my meager purchases. My breathing is ragged, after Axe told me the story last night. I didn't ask any more questions about the work accident he mentioned. Let's just say I accepted his excuses, even though I had my doubts about the truth. But I didn't want to prolong it all just because of my curiosity. Never mind. After all, honesty wouldn't hide for too long if what Axe said was a lie."Are you done?" I asked as Axe approached me, carrying the groceries in both hands."Yes. Let's go home."By 'home' Axe meant the hotel we were currently staying in while in Canada. Don't feel surprised, it's his habit to call any form of residence home."What are you buying this many boys' toys for, Bridgette?" asked Axe as he lifted my purchases up.I almost forgot to mention that my friend Rose and my favorite little boy live in Canada. What a coincidence that Axe brought me here. I get to meet them after

"But it looks like master is sleeping, Miss," he continued successfully bringing my footsteps to a halt."Is Axe sleeping with Oracle?""Yes, miss," he replied, causing Rose and I to glance at each other."Just open the door, Bridgette," Rose said impatiently.I took a deep breath, determined to open the car door. I wonder what their poses will look like when they're sleeping together? Would they look the same when their eyes were open, or would it be the other way around?Imagining that, a strange feeling suddenly invaded my chest. I don't know. Should I be sad or happy to realize that Axe and Oracle got along so easily. But I can't lie that at the bottom of my heart, there's a hope that's soaring high into the sky. I want to someday be able to be honest with Oracle about who I really am. All this time all he knew was his mother Rose, not me. I pity him too, since he never felt the presence of a father. Even he was very confused when Axe asked him who his f
