At Marco's Residence

Axel, his aunt, and uncle sat at the dining table laden with Italian specialties - lasagna, pizza, spaghetti, ravioli, and minestrone soup.

"Aunt, why did you prepare so much food?" Axel asked, puzzled. It wasn't a holiday or special occasion.

"The first step was a success, and the next will be too. Consider this a celebration of your initial victory, Axel," the elderly woman who had raised him explained.

"Aunt, this is just the beginning. Don't celebrate before I've truly won," Axel objected, thinking she was getting ahead of herself.

"Let her be happy, Axel. Let's eat."

Axel nodded. Before the meal, they said a prayer - a family tradition of Marco's to show respect for the food.

After breakfast, Marco wiped his mouth with a napkin and studied his nephew's face, so similar to the young Maurer's.

"So, is it true Maurer's adopted daughter will be interning at the hospital in forensics?" he asked.

Axel nodded. "Yes, according to my informant, she recently applied and the hospital approved her internship request. Luckily for us."

Marco smiled widely, pleased by this auspicious news beyond their original plan. The target was coming to them. Axel would be Aurel's mentor during her cadaver research internship, and he seemed to have a devious idea brewing, though Marco didn't know the details.

"Uncle, Aunt, I have to go. There's something I need to take care of." Axel kissed and hugged them before grabbing his car keys and striding out.

At the Grumman Building

Axel and Le Yuna stood in the lobby.

"Ack! What?" Le Yuna coughed, spitting out bits of bread that sprayed onto Axel's face.

"Sorry, your crazy idea startled me," she said, covering her full mouth.

"Do you agree? If not, I won't force you," Axel said, wiping the crumbs off with a tissue.

"Is this the first step? But..." Le Yuna trailed off, looking pensive.

"I feel bad for that body. They say the soul suffers if the deceased's body is disturbed, let alone having a doctor reopen the abdomen for students to practice on."

"If you object, I'll abandon this plan."

Le Yuna shook her head. "No, it's okay. I agree to let them use my mother's body for practice."

Axel smiled widely. "Trust me, Miss Le Yuna. This is part of the first step towards getting back at Maurer."

While Le Yuna was uneasy about her mother's body being used for training, she went along with Axel's outrageous plan for the sake of vengeance.

"Sir, you have some crumbs in your hair," Le Yuna said, reaching up to brush them away. Their eyes met for a lingering moment.

"Pardon my impudence," she murmured, plucking the crumbs free. Axel stifled a laugh at her innocent expression.

"You'd better go in before Mr. Kang Chul scolds you for tardiness."

Le Yuna nodded and waved before entering the law firm.

Axel got into his car, grinning. "What an odd girl."

At the Djadiningrat Residence

As usual, the middle-aged Maurer sat behind his mansion, observing his pet lion Bobi savagely devouring its meal.

"Sir, I've heard Miss Le Yuna has been released from prison," Daniel suddenly appeared nearby.

"And?" Maurer asked gruffly.

"Le Yuna has been rehired at the Grumman Law Firm."

This news clearly startled Maurer. "The head, Kang Chul, recruited her back as a lawyer?"

Maurer fell silent, his icy gaze hardening as he processed this information.

"Contact the head of Grumman. Maurer will meet him in three hours," he finally ordered.

"Yes, sir."

"Daniel, make sure that woman doesn't cause any more trouble for my pharmaceutical company. If she interferes again, her fate won't differ from her mother's," Maurer warned darkly.

"Understood, sir."

Unbeknownst to them, Aurel had overheard their exchange. "Is Father eliminating people again?" she wondered.

Daniel turned, startled to see Aurel behind him. "Sir, I'll take my leave."

Maurer's expression softened upon seeing his daughter, preparing for her forensic internship.

"Your first day interning. Is my lovely daughter ready to examine corpses?" he asked with an indulgent smile.

"Aurel, why choose such a grisly field as forensics? Aren't you afraid the bodies will reanimate during examinations?"

Aurel shook her head. "I'm more afraid of you eliminating lives, Father."

Maurer's face drained of color at her blunt retort.

"I'm leaving now, Father." Aurel hugged him before departing for the hospital where Axel worked.

At the Hospital

It was the first day of the students' internship, overseen by Axel. Le Yuna's mother's body lay on the examining table.

Some students gasped upon seeing the corpse.

"No one touch it, just observe. This is a murder victim," Axel instructed, glancing sidelong at Aurel.

Thump!

Aurel's heart skipped a beat meeting Axel's piercing gaze. "Based on its condition, what caused this death?" Axel asked as the students examined the body.

Aurel raised her hand. "There's a stab wound to the abdomen, Doctor. That may have been the cause of death."

Axel nodded. "Correct, let's investigate further. But first, let's pray for the soul's peace."

The students murmured assent and bowed their heads briefly.

After the prayer, Axel reopened the sutures for the students to examine.

"What are the depth and width of the wound?" he asked.

"Twenty-four centimeters," Aurel answered.

"Very good, Miss Aurel," Axel praised her.

"What was the likely cause of death?"

Again, Aurel responded, "The stab wound penetrated the large intestine, causing it to rupture and likely bleeding out."

"How cruel of the killer to inflict such a deep wound," another student remarked soberly.

"What would you do if a family member was murdered?" Axel posed.

The students exchanged glances. "We would prosecute the perpetrator to the fullest extent, Doctor," the bespectacled student replied.

"And what if your father took someone's life?" Axel asked pointedly, his gaze boring into the visibly uncomfortable Aurel.

"Are you asking me, Doctor?" she cautiously replied.

Axel nodded. "Yes, just a hypothetical scenario to lighten the mood. What would you do if your father was proven to be a murderer?"

Aurel faltered, then answered, "I would be furious and unforgiving. I would report him to the authorities."

Her response made Axel smirk as he re-sutured the body after the practice examination.

    6 "I think today's research is finished, the results of the death history that has been neatly packaged can be delivered to my desk, later I will give you an assessment." Axel said. He put the body of Le Yuna's mother into the morgue cabinet. Then locked the cabinet using a password, which no one else would be able to open except Doctor Axel."Okay, thanks, Doc."The students dispersed one by one, only Aurel remained in the room. While staring at Axel's broad back."Sir," Aurel called out."Yes," Axel replied."Sir, thank you for saving me from that group of thugs." Aurel said.Axel turned his body around, he smiled sweetly at Aurel. "You're welcome, Miss.""Sir, to say thank you can you have lunch with me?" Aurel looked shy saying that. Because this was the first time the girl invited the opposite sex to eat together. It did sound very strange."Lunch?" asked Axel.Aurel nodded. "Yes, sir.""Maybe I can't today, Miss. Maybe some other time. Would you mind having dinner with me?""D

She managed to save Axel!"This is too much, you should not have pulled out a gun, your weapon could harm others, Daniel!" Aurel cried out indignantly.Axel remained silent, he could only smile wickedly when he saw Aurel start to defend him, meaning his second plan had succeeded. Axel realized the girl was starting to develop feelings for him."Trapped, you fell into my trap, Miss Aurel, and I intentionally remained silent when that damn Daniel fired at me," Axel thought to himself."What is the meaning of this, Miss? You brought me here for dinner, but your bodyguard beat me up instead," Axel said angrily, grabbing his phone and car keys. He then promptly left Aurel behind.The girl ran after him carrying the red envelope containing her research paper. "Sir, the summary of my work."Axel took the papers and remained silent, the

It turned out his daughter was hostile towards him, by giving him the silent treatment."Daniel, have you gotten any information about that forensic doctor?" Maurer asked his bodyguard.Daniel nodded. "Regarding the information we have, the man who is a forensic doctor is the one who saved Miss Aurel, Sir. However, the bad news is that the man comes from Marco's family.""What?" Maurer was shocked, just remembering that his brother-in-law was still alive. "Who is he? Is he Marco's son?" Maurer asked inquisitively.Daniel nodded. "Yes, Marco's second son. Marco's first son is currently in the Netherlands, specifically in Amsterdam, completing his studies, while the man who is the forensic doctor is Marco's second son."Maurer seemed to ponder for a moment, still shocked, disbelieving Daniel's statement.

    9Night time. The plan had been carefully prepared. Axel worked together with people to destroy Maurer's business, of course those people were Axel's chosen ones to destroy the pharmaceutical company.Axel succeeded in instigating the victims of the pain relief drugs who suffered the same fate as his uncle Marco - people who had tumors due to the cruelty of the Razqa80 drug. "Are you all ready?" Axel asked. The group of people he had gathered nodded together. They prepared by putting on protective suits to shield their skin."You only have ten minutes. After that, you must quickly exit the pharmaceutical building," said Axel. The group nodded again. "I understand, sir," one of them said.Axel instructed them to wait in the car. He aimed his gun at the two bodyguards waiting at the main gate. He pulled the trigger and the two bodyguards were successfully shot down, Axel's aim was on target.Once the two bodyguards were incapacitated, the five men slowly approached the factory gate

    After Maurer's departure, Axel stood up but Aurel suddenly grabbed his arm. "Where are you going, sir? Oh, sorry," Aurel said, realizing her flat gaze was on the arm she had grabbed. The girl immediately released her grip. Of course, Aurel was flustered, even berating herself for foolishly grabbing Axel's arm out of reflex."Since your father is no longer here, and the issue has been resolved, I shall take my leave, Miss," Axel said, accompanied by a sweet smile. Aurel nodded. "Very well, I'll walk you out."As he was about to leave Maurer's house, Axel stopped in front of the large portrait clearly displaying his mother's image. She looked so graceful and sweet when she was young. Axel's hand reached out, and his blood suddenly rushed as he remembered that the beautiful woman in the frame had perished in a cruel and horrific way."Damn it!" Axel cursed.Aurel frowned."What are you doing, Doctor? Why are you touching my late wife's portrait?"Thump! Axel quickly withdrew his hand

    At another place, Le Yuna was at a law firm, she got a new client. It turned out that what Axel had said was true, that the victims of the razqa80 drug had reported to her. In the room, she was reading a stack of files and trying to understand them."I think this is dangerous, I disagree if you accept this offer, Miss. I don't want to deal with cases related to pharmaceutical chemical plants," said Khang Chul, who had entered Le Yuna's office."But, if the drug continues to circulate, more lives will be lost, Sir," Yuna answered."But, I disagree, if you want to fight against this painkiller case, you can resign from Grumman's law firm and find another law firm that is on your side. I disagree, I don't want Grumman to become an easy target for Maurer."Yuna stood up, placing the pen in her hand down. "Are you afraid of fighting against the pharmaceutical chemical plant? And, are you going to let dozens or hundreds more victims of the drug continue to add up? Then, if one of your famil

    "Why?" Yuna asked when she realized that Axel was looking for something. The well-built man was even squatting down, looking under the table, trying to find his watch strap. However, the watch strap was indeed missing."My watch strap is gone, Yuna. I don't remember where I dropped it," the man said in a panic, because there was something inside that watch strap. If Maurer found out, his plan would be ruined.~•~Meanwhile, elsewhere, Maurer was still staring in dismay at the razqa80 medicine that had burned to ashes. He walked over to the pile of ashes, squatting down while looking at something.Crouching down, he brushed away the dust covering a black object, so the ashes wouldn't obscure what he was seeing. A watch strap, yes, that's right. A black watch strap was lying under the ashes."Whose watch strap is this? Is i

    Bobbi devoured the woman's body, leaving only bones behind. "Clean up the bones and bury them near Bobbi's cage. I'm going to my room, today has been exhausting," said Maurer.He finally went upstairs, while Daniel instructed the other bodyguards to bury the bones.~•~ In the morning, as the sun rose into the sky and illuminated the earth, the cruel man could not sleep peacefully after the incident at his factory."Damn it, I can't rest at all," he said, immediately descending the stairs. "Bring me a cup of coffee to the back of the mansion," Maurer ordered one of his servants."Yes, sir."The middle-aged man with the perfect face walked to the back of the mansion, right in front of Bobbi's cage. Yes, that was one of Maurer's favorite spots when his heart was troubled."Daniel!" Maurer shouted, running towards Bobbi's still closed cage. The ferocious animal was curled up in a pool of blood flowing profusely. "Daniel!" he shouted again.His gaze fixed sharply on Bobbi's face and t

    months later. Today, Aurel gave birth via C-section. I held her cold hand."You can do this," I whispered. Her blood pressure was rising, and I felt worried about her condition."Don't panic, honey, don't panic." I gently stroked her hand. This was the second time I'd been in an operating room just to accompany a woman giving birth. I remembered the moment with the late Miss Le, the mother of my child who passed away 15 months ago.The room was really cold. I felt a deep sense of worry. Even though I was used to handling more terrifying patients than this, I felt this was far more frightening - a mother's struggle to bring a little angel out of her womb. It required a very real sacrifice.After a few minutes, I heard the cry of the baby we'd been waiting for these past eight months. I closed my eyes, and without realizing it, I started crying. I imagined the unintentional process. Of course, I say it was unintentional because I had touched Aurel nine months ago while unconscious or en

    Axel smiled as he watched Aurel and Azzura chatting. Aurel repeatedly kissed the top of Azzura's head, and Azzura did the same. The child kissed Aurel's stomach multiple times with a wide smile, her face clearly showing happiness."Thank you, Axel. I never imagined Azzura would be so happy with a stepmother like Aurel. I thought Azzura would be consumed by sadness when she learned her mother was gone, but ... Aurel has managed to keep Azzura's smile from fading," Mrs. Elena said, intently watching Aurel and Azzura. Without realizing it, tears of joy flowed from the corners of her eyes."Mrs. Elena is right, I'm lucky to have Aurel. God truly sent Aurel to replace Le Yuna. I promise to protect Aurel so she doesn't meet the same fate as Le Yuna. I don't want Azzura and her future siblings to lose their mother again," he replied while hugging Mrs. Elena tightly. She was the woman who had taken care of Azzura while he dealt with the difficult case he had to solve."Amen, may God hear our

    183After returning from the hospital, I deliberately brought Aurel over just to have lunch together. Because, for two months now, I've never invited her just for the two of us. "What if Azura cries?" she asked, as the car we were driving turned right into a fast food restaurant. I smiled. "No problem, I have Elena's mom to look after her, pregnant women need a lot of nourishment, Aurel," I said. "Wait a minute." I got out of the car and took the initiative to open the car door for Aurel. Krttt"No need to overdo it, Axel. I can open this car door myself. I'm not too weak really, it's just that earlier it felt like the energy was completely depleted because I didn't use it I kept spitting out my stomach contents." Aurel said. I took her hand, and as she held it, Aurel looked up at me. Maybe, he feels if this is the first time, I treat him special like this. Until we finally chose to sit in the corner of the fast food restaurant. I deliberately ordered a lot of food, and also de

    182Two months later. Today is exactly two months since Aurel and I got married. After performing the autopsy, my cell phone suddenly rang, I received a phone call from Elena's mother. When the line went dead, Elena's mother could be heard breathing heavily. "Axel, Aurel is unconscious. Hurry home! She's suddenly weak." I was shocked, and immediately took off all the medical clothes I was wearing. Upon receiving the phone call from Mrs. Elena telling me that Aurel had fainted, my heart immediately started pounding, frantically.Without wasting much time, I quickly went home to see how she was doing. A few minutes later, I arrived at the apartment. Then, we rushed Aurel to the hospital, which was not too far from the apartment. His face was pale and his body was weak, making me even more worried. Cold sweat poured out. What exactly was going on? I tried to hold back my worries, I was the only one carrying her. While Elena's mother was at home looking after Azzura. Azzura was crying

How surprised I was to see this smooth white hand like vermicelli already perched right on top of my chest. I turned my head to the side, surprised to see Aurel already lying beside me. "Aurel," I called, her breathing regular as she was still asleep. I tried to move Aurel's hand from above my chest to my side. After moving Aurel's hand. I immediately got up. When I lift my head, it feels heavy. I pulled back the blanket that covered my entire body. How surprised I was to see the state of my naked body. "Oh my!" My chest was beating so fast, was it me and Aurel last night? Trying to remember the scene last night. I remember drinking on the balcony, afterwards getting drunk and vaguely remembering the moment I walked into the room. Hugging Miss Le. "What? Oh my God," I said. I got out of bed immediately. Even my clot

    180Aurel actually wanted to push Axel and wanted to refuse but there was no reason to refuse. They were already officially a married couple. But, why did Axel call her by the name le Yuna.Aurel's heart sliced to hear Axel call the late azzura's mother."Let me kiss you," Axel whispered in a breathless voice. Aurel closed his eyes, in the dark of the night the woman chose to surrender to being touched by the man who had just legalized their relationship. After that Axel's hand immediately pulled the button of the pajamas that Aurel was wearing. Slowly but surely, the chest button was unhooked.Axel buried his face there, right on Aurel's chest."I missed you so much, Miss Le," he whispered once again. "But I'm not Miss Le. I'm Aurel," Aurel murmured, tears falling down his cheeks. Axel's finger gently brushed Aurel's lips. While one of his hands held his chest and squeezed the rubbery part. A sigh escaped Axel's lips. Aurel closed his eyes to enjoy what was supposed to happen. A

    179"Yes, I'm fine, Aurel. Don't worry. I fell asleep while soaking in the bathtub!" came Axel's voice to Aurel. The man was wide-eyed in shock, he had even fallen asleep for almost an hour on the page. His palms turned blue from the cold. It was very cool in Milan at that time. "Thank goodness," Aurel said, he pressed his beating chest, of course afraid something would happen to Axel. He stepped back and sat on the makeup chair, again wiping off the traces of makeup that had stuck to his face.KrtttAxel came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, with wet hair that doubled his good looks. Aurel gave him a glance and he went into the bathroom to wash his face. After washing her face, she came out and applied a night cream. Apparently, Axel was not in the room. "Where is he? Must be in Azzura's room." She said. She extinguished the room lights after applying the cream, then slowly laid herself down on the king size bed, she lay staring at the ceiling of her room which was expose

Now, the room no longer belongs only to Axel, there is a new resident who will reside there. Because Axel took off his pants and also the top coat he was wearing. When Aurel entered, of course he reflexively covered his chest. With a three-square object in the middle of the thigh. "I'm sorry," Aurel said. She looked down and averted her eyes. "No problem," said Axel. After that Axel went into the bathroom without answering what Aurel said. Perhaps, Axel was really very embarrassed. He drowned himself in the bathtub. As for Aurel, he sat in front of the dressing table. She imagined a beautiful first night, her partner sensually removing the wedding dress. But, this... She took off the wedding dress using her own two hands. Trying to unhook the hooks on her back. The dress was a little difficu

    177 Two weeks later, Axel, dressed in a white suit, walked down the aisle. With a woman he never expected to tie the knot with. Yes, she was Aurel. She wore a white wedding dress with elegant beading and patterns. Hair ornaments that are so neat and very beautiful, she continues to smile, the joy in her heart cannot be expressed in just words, now she has successfully married the man who made her fall in love for the first time. Holding a bouquet of white flowers. They laughed as all the guests applauded. After the wedding vows were said, Axel briefly kissed Aurel's lips on the altar. This was the first time Aurel had received a kiss from Axel. Her heart was beating very fast when those lips landed on hers. His eyes filled with tears. "Look at father Maurer. Now little Aurel has grown up. And. Exactly today Aurel is married to the man who made Aurel fall in love for the first time." Aurel's heart said. After a brief kiss Axel took a few steps back, he was nervous. "
