An alliance

Rebecca stood there in silence, contemplating on what to do. From Axel’s recent behavior, she began doubting if he really wanted to help her, or he needed her to accomplish his goals, because everything was always about him. But then, she didn’t have anywhere else to go, or who to help her. A thought suddenly crossed her mind. Fernando! He was a very good friend of her dad, and she was sure he would help her if she came clean to him. But then, how would she locate him? She turned, scanning the environment with her eyes, and her gaze landed on Axel who was at the shooting range alone. Taking a deep breath, she approached him just when he was about to shoot.“Hey.” She cooed. He spared her a stare before focusing on what he was doing.“I’m sorry about earlier. I just…” she inhaled deeply. “I just didn’t know what to do. Fernando was so nice to me and dad and hearing about him after a long time might have sparked my reaction.” He didn’t reply her. He had his gaze focuse

Reality

Immediately Rebecca heard that, she pushed Kira’s hands off her shoulders and moved back. Her brows furrowed, forming wrinkles and from the look on her face, one could tell she was displeased by what she just heard.“You planned this with Axel, right?” She accused.“No. Axel doesn’t know about this, he doesn’t even care about the pregnancy…”“Then why do you care? Why do you want me to get rid of it?” She fired. Kira hit her forehead in frustration. “Here we go. This is why I never wanted to agree to help you.”“So getting rid of my baby is your definition of help?” She scoffed. “Make it make sense.”“Yes. The child belongs to Eric, and nothing can be hidden under the sun. He’s definitely going to find out one day, and that’s like an advantage to him cause with the child he has high possibilities of taking over your father’s properties.” Kira explained detailedly. Rebecca wasn’t still convinced, not for a bit. “Who is going to tell him? You? Axel? Aside both of you no one else

The truth

When she got to where the men were, they pointed guns at her. “Who are you?” They asked in unison.“I am Rebecca Lu…”“Don’t.” She heard Kira’s voice from the bus. “Don’t say your surname.”“I am Rebecca.”One of the men scoffed. “Who cares about your fucking name?”“But you asked who I was and…”“Your identity!” He said firmly. “Is the boss expecting you?” “No, I…” Their grips on their gun tightened. “Then what are you doing here?”“Can you please call him and let him know Rebecca is here? Please.” To her surprise, they didn’t bulge. She watched as the guy touched the bud in his ear and spoke to whoever was at the other end.“Rebecca who?” She kept quiet, waiting for Kira to tell her what to say, since she stopped her earlier from saying her surname.“The daughter of his late friend, Michael.” She repeated what Kira told her. She noticed how the men observed her as she said that, and she couldn’t help but wonder why. The men exchanged looks after one of them whi

She’s acting strange

She wanted to have a private talk with Fernando, something Axel and Kira wouldn’t know about. Besides, she wasn’t in the mood to continue with the mission, she would do what she came here for initially. She picked the smashed buds from the floor and went to flush it in the toilet to avoid suspicions. When she was done, she washed her face with water and took a breath. As she returned to the study room, Fernando had his gaze on her.“You promised you weren’t going to cry.” He said, upon noticing the water on her face.“I didn’t.” She replied calmly. “About what you were saying, do you have any idea on who wanted him dead, and why?” Those were the questions bothering her. If it really wasn’t an accident then they had to be a reason for it. Fernando cleared his throat and the two men at the door left the room immediately, leaving only her with him. He shifted closer to the edge of the couch and placed his hands on his laps. “What I’m about to tell you will come as a shock

An imposter?

Axel moved his hand away from her hair. He had a confused look on his face. Ever since she returned from the mission, he could tell something was off about her, but he just didn’t know what it was. And suddenly asking for time alone proved his suspicions right.“You aren’t okay being here?” Rebecca shook her head. “Not that. I just need some time alone to reflect on myself.” “You don’t have time Rebecca, you need to get your father’s properties as fast as you can, hence you’ll lose it forever.” He warned, his eyes narrowing.“How?” She questioned curiously.“You don’t need to know about that. You just have to…”“That’s the problem, Axel.” She cuts in. “It’s frustrating how you keep leaving me in the dark and still want me to cooperate. If you’re really helping me, then I don’t think you should hide stuff like this from me. At this point, I think you are more concerned about yourself and whatever you are doing now is only going to benefit you and…” she stopped to catch her breat

Pain

He jerked out of his thought when Rebecca suddenly screamed. “Ouch!” She screamed again as she grabbed her belly.“What’s going on?” Axel demanded, his voice sharp with panic as he held under her arm, stopping her from falling directly to the floor.“My… my stomach!” She cried, clutching it in pains. She felt another sharp pain in her lower abdomen and she screamed horrifically, unable to stop herself. The men around rushed to the scene immediately. They had been staring the whole time from the sidelines and when they saw how the situation escalated, they rushed in.“Get the car ready!” Axel instructed. She felt something warm rushing through her legs and at that moment, realization suddenly dawned on her. Tears streamed out of her eyes as she got hit by another pain, and the last thing she could remember was Axel carrying her in his arms and after that it was a total blackout.***** Axel stood outside the ward, with Kira beside him. He had his head covered with an hoodie

9pm

Rebecca woke up to a sweet smell, her eyes opened slowly and the first thing she saw was the white ceiling above her head. She moved her gaze sideways and she spotted a drip fixed to her left hand, and it was then she realized where she was. She turned to the other side and her eyes lit up when she saw a big bouquet of roses. It was the biggest she had seen in her entire lifetime. She sat upright, resting her back against the wall, and just immediately, the door to the ward opened and Axel walked in.“You’re awake?” He was surprised, but from his tone she could tell he was also excited.“Hey.” She cooed, as she stretched her free hand towards the bouquet and began rubbing it.“How are you feeling now? Do you feel good?” He questioned. Just as she was about to reply, she felt a sharp pain in her tummy, but she didn’t make a sound. “Guess I’m okay. What happened?” Axel was silent for a while, obviously thinking of what to tell her. “You um passed out because of stress.”

The mastermind

She grabbed the blanket on the bed and covered her body with it even though she was fully clothed. As she stepped out of her room, she came across a guy standing in front of her door.“Do you need something?” He asked calmly. Her brows furrowed. “What are you doing here?”“The boss asked me to stay here just in case you need something.” The guy replied. She let out a scoff. “I see.” She wasn’t dumb. She knew Axel made him stay there so she wouldn’t go out. He knew she would try to go for the dinner with Fernando, hence he placed someone there to watch her.“I’m thirsty and I need a pineapple juice.” She told him. To her disappointment, instead of him leaving to get the juice, he touched the ear bud in his ear.“Please bring a pineapple juice here.” He spoke to the person on the other end. She clenched her fists in annoyance. Without saying a word to him, she tried to leave but he stopped her by blocking her movement.“I’m sorry ma’am but you can’t leave your room p

He’s back

“Come in.” Rebecca muttered from the bed when she heard a knock on the door. She was seated upright, her legs covered with the blanket. The door opened slowly and Axel walked in, looking so tired and calm. “Hey.” He cooed.“Hey.” She reciprocated. She didn’t get up from the bed, she remained there.“How are you feeling?” He asked, moving closer to her.“Quite okay.” She mumbled shakily, knowing fully well the question that was coming next.“Wanna still go for the walk?” Her eyes lit, that wasn’t the question she was expecting. “Huh?”“I asked if you wanted to go for the walk or…”“Yes!” She cuts in sharply. “I want to.” She yanked the blanket off and stood from the bed. He stretched forth his hand and she looked up at him, wondering why he was acting sweet instead of bombarding her with questions. Slowly, she placed hers on his and they walked out of the room. They headed towards the gate and when they got there, it was heavily guarded by some men. The men lowered t

Discovery

As Axel entered the compound, the men were perplexed. Where was Rebecca? In as much as they were curious, no one dared to ask. Axel’s steps slowed, but didn’t stop. “Go watch over her. Make sure she’s safe.” Immediately he said that, two of the men rushed outside, going to do as he had said. When Axel got to his room, he fell weakly on the bed and covered his face with his palms. He just couldn’t get over the fact that he was betrayed by Rebecca. She wasn’t a saint, and he knew, but he didn’t think she would betray him, not at all. Even when Kira told him about it, he couldn’t believe it, until she proved it. He could remember how it all happened. When he got home from the hospital with Rebecca, Kira came to his room to talk about the meeting with Draco stone.FLASHBACK* Kira dropped the mini laptop on the bed and clasped her hand. “I noticed something.”“I’ve only met Draco once in my life and our conversation didn’t last up to two minutes but I know of how he speaks
