131Marissa kept struggling to untie herself from where she has been tied to in a place she has no idea of.On her way to the airport, a car just suddenly hit theirs but even though it wasn't fatal or ghastly, she had no idea how the young bodyguard Colin had ordered to escort her to the airport just stopped breathing.She was so scared, trembling, she opened the door of the car and made attempt to leave but was dragged and blindfolded by an unknown person.But there was no doubt the person behind this all was AxelHe really needs a serious beating.While struggling to untie herself, she heard footsteps approaching which made her stopJust how close was she with Axel?They were so close that she could recognize him just by hearing his footsteps "Do you mind removing this blindfold? I already know it's you" She said"Alright then" Axel scoffed and removed the blindfold just like she wanted "I am sorry they brought you here in this manner, I told them to bring you safely because of you
132Colin laid on the floor, holding his groins in pain.He couldn't not throw a punch but on the other hand, Axel was not in any way lacking, he kept throwing punches without minding how much pain his opponent was.Colin's nose had been bleeding for the past 30 minutes when Axel had punched him so hard, breaking his nostrils.He was in so much pain but had no other option than to get up and keep fighting"Axel, please stop this" Marissa whimperedShe hated herself for not being able to do anything while the person she loves is suffering.She couldn't help but think this was all happening because of her, if only she wasn't kidnapped by her crazy cousin then she wouldn't have to watch Colin groaning in so much pain."Why are you telling me to stop?" Axel scoffed as he took a quick break to drink a gulp of water "At this rate, you are going to kill him" Marissa sniffed back her tears "Please.... I am begging you, just stop""You are so annoying" Axel dropped the bottle of water and wip
133Marissa couldn't stop crying as she sat in the waiting room at the hospital with Shawn and Emerald who were trying all their best to console herColin's last words before the Ambulance finally arrived was stuck in her head, she felt like he was really saying his last words.What If he doesn't survive?What if he really pass away?It was hard to predict what would happen to him.But she was desperately hoping he would be okay so they can spend more time together.Ever since they got back together, they haven't been able to spend time together because they have been busy trying to catch a criminal who was right under their nose.That made her even more furious as more tears rolled down her cheek.She doesn't care anymoreShe would do all her best to catch Axel and make sure he pays for everything he has done."I am sure Colin will be okay, to be honest I am surprised he is still alive" Shawn said, leaning on the wall"How can you say that?" Emerald snapped "You are not helping""I a
134"Babe, your stomach is getting big" Colin smiled while taking a look at Marissa's tummyOf course it was getting big, the pregnancy has been months now"I know right? I can't wait for pumpkin to come out" Marissa smiled back, slicing an apple for it to be easier for Colin to eatDue to the punch, his jaw hurts so it's hard for him to take a bite from the apple himself."You should really take a rest, I am okay""Says someone who can't drink a cup of water by himself""That is because my hands are in bandage""Because you broke them while fighting" Marissa nagged "Next time, don't even think of doing something like that, if you do I will kill you myself""You are being cold to someone who is hurt" Colin pouted "What should we name our pumpkin?""Why don't you think about recovering first" Marissa clicked her tongue "I am really fine" he emphasized "Should we name our pumpkin, Annabelle? Ella? Because she will be a pretty princess""How are you so sure it will be a girl?" Marissa s
135"Where in the world are we going?" Shawn asked as he was not aware of where Eric has been driving him to for the past 30 minutes."Somewhere important" Eric replied, paying good attention to all the houses around"Can you at least tell me the important place? I don't think it's okay for me to just appear somewhere without being prepared" Shawn got even more curious "Don't tell me you are taking me to Axel, are you working for him too?" He gasped"That's offensive" Eric clicked his tongue "Fine. I am trying to look for someone who knows Axel well""Someone who knows Axel? I don't think someone like that exist, he is so sly and pretentious so much that he deserves an Oscar. Why are we wasting our time searching for someone when we should....." Before Shawn would complete his sentence, Eric stopped the car in front of a bungalow"We are here" he mouthed as he made signal for Shawn to alight."What is this place?" Shawn couldn't stop staring as he came out of the carThere was nothing
136 At the station, both Axel and Martin were locked up in a cell while Shawn, Eric and Jenny sat with the detective, giving evidences of all what they've done."I think there is one more person that needs to be arrested" Eric said"Who?" Shawn asked"Jackson Dream. I think he works with them too" Eric replied "About that..." The detective meddled "Our boys are on our way to get him""Really?" Shawn blinked in surprise "does he really work for them?""Yeah. You remember the doctor who died in our cell, right?""Yeah" Shawn nodded "Turns out he was actually the one who came in and strangled her""Ugh? How is that possible, what in the world were your boys doing?" Eric scoffed in disbelief"He paid the lieutenant in charge a handsome amount and also paid the security in charge of the CCTV so the footage was deleted" the detective explained, looking kind of disappointed that his fellow officers joined hands with a criminal to kill a human who they should protecting"That's just so bad
Chapter 1 Colin's phone pinged. He had a message, who would send a message this late? "Could you come over to the room? It's pretty urgent" the message read. It was from Catherine, she was his wife, Marissa’s sister. He hurriedly rushed to the other part of the house where her house was located without as much second thought. "Catherine? Cate? Are you in there? Please open the door" Colin called out when he heard no answer. Colin was troubled, he wondered what could have gone wrong that was so urgent. And to think he had left their room in a hurry without telling Mary first. He had a lot of explaining to do knowing how his wife was. He had moved into her family's home after they had gotten wedded as the family would have it no other way. It was either he agreed to move in with them or risk losing Marissa. He had chosen the former as he is so in love with Marissa. Not that they had treated him any better than a servant. He endured it all for Mary. She was the only reason h
Chapter 2"What do you want from me?" Colon yelled, to no one in particular. This was all a plan, a very good one at that to get him to divorce Marissa. If he agreed to the divorce, he would give them what they have always longed for: him being out of their lives. If he didn't, he would be risking his image and the reputation of his wife, something Marissa would not want. He was left in a dilemma, perhaps dilemma was an understatement for what this was. It wasn't always like this. No, it wasn't this way 3 years ago. Three years ago, Colin was someone they had wanted. He had gotten married to Marissa then, all thanks to the old lord of the house. He was a great man of honor and respect and treated him as such. Perhaps, they only endured so much because he was here at the time. Just a few months after he had died, Colin noticed a change. They no longer served him food, he was made to perform domestic chores. Hell, they became so bent on getting him to divorce Marissa. Only
