Semua Bab CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL: Bab 71 - Bab 79

Axel stood in front of more than twenty people, all waiting for him to speak up and address them. Beside him stood Kira who had a confused look on her face while he hadn’t said anything since the past five minutes. She cleared her throat, serving as a reminder but he still didn’t say a word. He had his gaze focused on a particular direction in the crowd and no one knew what was on his mind. Kira leaned closer to his shoulder. “Boss. They’re waiting.” She whispered. Axel’s lips parted but no words came out. His eyes moved around the hall and when he spotted Trent seated at the corner of the hall, he let out a deep breath. He glanced at Kira. “Do it.” He instructed.“Oh-okay boss.” She lowered her head to the floor. Axel walked away and when he got to where Trent was seated, he tapped his shoulder. “Come with me.”****** It was windy outside, like it was about to rain. They both stood at a corner, watching what the men at the gate were doing.“You really think letting her

She started hearing footsteps outside the door and instead of locking the door as Kira had instructed, she walked out of the room. She didn’t want to be inside, she wanted to see what was happening. What if they were leaving her behind? Everyone was running towards the other direction and no one spared her a stare. Without thinking twice, she ran after them, going to wherever they were going to. While running, she suddenly got pulled to a corner and when she raised her head up to look at the person, her brows furrowed when she saw Trent.“Where are you going to? You should be safe.” He said, amidst his heavy breaths. “What is going on? I can’t just stay inside without knowing what’s happening!” She replied.“Fernando is here with his men.” He revealed.“What?!” Her eyes widened. His grip on her hand tightened. “You’re surprised? Didn’t you tell him about the whole thing? Isn’t that why he is here?” Trent questioned, trying so hard to control his temper. She shook her he

The silence in the room was deafening, despite the fact that both people in the room had so much to say to each other. The situation made Rebecca uncomfortable. She broke the silence.“Heard you wanted to see me.” Axel didn’t say a word, he only nodded in accord to her words.“So?” She trailed off, urging him to speak up. “I’m here now.” Axel sat next to her on the bed, his gaze fixed on her while she stared down at her hands.“And once again, I’ve made an excuse for you.” She looked at him immediately he said that.“You didn’t trust me, you tried to play the game, and I understand.” He mumbled softly.“No.” She shook her head. “Do not cover up for me. What I did was wrong, and I’m going to leave after recovering…”“That’s…”“I do not resent you for sending me away, Axel.” She cuts him off. “I’d do same if I was in your shoes.”“Have anywhere to go?” Axel asked. She stayed quietly, not knowing what to say. She had no where to go, but she didn’t want to admit it.“If you do n

“Are you insane?” Rebecca flared up. She was sure she heard Kira right. “Are you drunk or probably high?” Kira scoffed. “Relax. Stop making a big deal out of it.” “It is a big deal. The fuck?” She couldn’t keep her calm. Barely thinking of it made her cringe. Seduce Trent? Axel’s friend like a brother? “I can bet on my life that Axel didn’t plan this with you. Where on earth did you get such irritating thoughts from?”“Calm down.”“Don’t fucking tell me to calm down!” She snapped. “What do you take me for?” Kira hit her forehead in frustration. “This is the problem you have. Allow me to explain!” It took a lot for Rebecca not to say a word. Only the sound of her breathing heavily was heard.“I want us to go for spa treatment, just the both of us. But Trent would insist on coming along for your safety and I want it to be just two of us, so I could tell you about what I found out and also take you to the private investigator…”“How does seducing him help?” She cuts in.“Okay may

As Axel got into his car, he let out a shaky breath. He had been trying to hold himself, trying not to break down in front of anyone, or even alone. To everyone else, he was Axel, the dreaded son of Thomas Leonard, the one who carried his father’s legacy, but only him knew what he was going through behind the scene. He didn’t have a say of his own, neither was he living his life the way he wanted. Ever since he was a teenager, he had always followed Thomas’s order, thinking his father knows well, but growing up he understood that Tomas was using him for his own benefit. He wasn’t living like his son, but as a tool. While his two siblings decided what to do with their lives and how to live it, he was exceptional. Unlike them, he was a living shadow, reflecting whatever his father wanted him to. All he wanted was to study law and live happily but he could still remember the words his father told him when it was time for him to write the entrance exam.“Do you think you’ll be
