073.As Axel sat in the car, Don sent him a text message. 'Good boy. Now the first part is done. For the second part, you're going to leave Boston. Go faraway to a place she would never find you, and never come back! If I see you anywhere near this town or even close to her, trust me, she will not survive to graduate.'Axel threw his head back and exhaled so he wouldn't cry but his tears fell regardless. He turned the car and drove away from there, heading for the apartment. When he was in, he slumped to the floor and burst into tears."I'm sorry, Cat eyes. I'm really sorry! I had no choice. I just want to protect you. I'll find a way out of this I promise." he whispered. He felt like his heart was being pierced with countless needles and all he needed was just to breathe. He couldn't believe what was happening to him, even though it was glaring right at him now. Axel didn't know how long he sat there and cried but soon he heard the sound of a car. He instantly knew that it was Cole'

075.PRESENT TIME (LAS VEGAS)Amber has tears rolling down her cheeks as Axel told them everything. Cole couldn't believe what he had to go through. Maverick shook his head. He knew what happened, but he never really knew it was this deep. No wonder Axel developed PTSD. It was really a traumatic experience. Even he wouldn't have been able to handle it."I'm really sorry for everything. I only stopped getting the threat letters 2 years ago, and began looking for you. Then I found you working at Glam Magazines, and your outline that fateful day. I wanted "US" again.""You went through all this and you didn't tell me? You should have told me about it and we would have found a way to outsmart him together. I'm a computer genius and you know that. What are we friends for if you can't even tell me what's going on with you?" Cole asked, feeling pained and angry.Axel lowered his head and sighed. "At that time, the only thing I thought about was how to save her. I was paranoid and didn't even

077.“We're going out for a girl's night, and you're dressed like this?” Melissa asked after Amber stepped out from her room.Amber looked down at her dressing, her brows creased. “What? Is something wrong with my dress?” she asked.Melissa rolled her eyes. “Everything is wrong with that dress. Go wear something sexy!” she snapped and pushed Amber back into the room.“Sexy? Melissa, we’re just going out for drinks!” Amber protested.Melissa crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing. “You look like a freaking librarian! Come on, Amber. Show a little skin!”Amber stared at her outfit—a black pencil skirt paired with a simple blouse. It wasn’t exactly exciting, but she’d chosen it because it was comfortable, not because it was sexy.The doorbell rang and Amber beamed. “Gina is here!” she exclaimed excitedly and rushed to open the door. “Girl!” Amber called and they shrieked.Gina looked at Amber's clothes. “What in fashion disaster are you putting on?” she asked, but Amber pulled her in.“Tol

079.Axel continued patting her on the back as she cried. Amber couldn't help the tears. She melted into his arms while he kissed her hair. “Hey, stop crying, okay?” he said and she nodded.Axel pulled away from the hug and placed his hands on her shoulders. “Look at me,” he said and Amber looked up at him with a tear stained face. Axel used his thumb to wipe her tears and smiled at her. “You're a strong woman, Cat eyes. You don't need to let them know they've gotten you. I know you were set up, your friends know that as well, and your loyal fans too.”Amber nodded. “I'm just so hurt and annoyed.”“I understand,” Axel said. “And I won't let that motherfucker get away with hurting you. He's just dug his own grave for hurting my woman.”Amber smiled, a blush crawling up her cheeks. “You still call me your woman in such playful tone while I'm really annoyed here?”Axel leaned forward and rolled strands of hair into his index finger. “Why not? At least I got a smile from you.” he said, hi

081.Amber pulled away from the kiss and cupped Axel's cheeks, her eyes shining with love for him. Axel raised a brow at her. “What was that about?” he asked amidst chuckles.Amber batted her lashes at him. “Don't you like it?” she asked, her voice small.Axel’s eyebrows shot up in surprise, then a grin spread across his face. “Well, now.” he drew Amber closer, wrapping his arms around her waist. “I do like it. But I can’t say I’m not a little bit surprised.” his voice was low and gravelly, making Amber’s heart flip-flop in her chest.Amber blushed, but she couldn’t look away from his intense gaze. “I had to do something to thank you,” she whispered. “For everything.”Axel’s eyes softened as he stared at her. “Amber, you don’t have to thank me for anything. I’ll always be here for you. No matter what.” He pressed his forehead against hers, their lips inches apart. “And I want you to know, I love you too.”Amber’s heart skipped a beat. She wrapped her arms around him. They've been thro
