Axel stood by the altar, his eyes fixed on the beautiful bride walking towards him. Raya's uncle escorted her down the aisle, her graceful steps synchronised with the soft music filling the cathedral. Axel's heart swelled with emotion as he took in Raya's stunning beauty—her radiant smile, her sparkling eyes, and her elegant wedding gown. As they reached the altar, her uncle placed Raya's hand in Axel's, his eyes shining with wrath. "Take care of her, Axel," he whispered. Axel's gaze locked onto Raya's, and his voice filled with pure intensity. "I will," he states.There was something with Axles tune and the glare her uncle gave him, which didn't bother him for a sec.He could feel Raya's burning stare at him, and if looks could kill, he would be six inches under the ground. She had dared him and left him with no other choice; he wanted to prove to her that he was the big deal now and that he got to decide her faith. He held firmly to Raya's hands, a smirk lingering on his lips.
"The apartment you ordered is ready." Collins mumbles to his hearing.Axel nods. Arrange a driver that would take us now; I'm tired," he muttered with a hiss.The wedding party lasted almost an hour or so, filled with fake laughs and energy. Even though there weren't many people around, some business acquaintances came.Axel had ended his conversation, seeing as his aunt-in-law was trying to belittle him as her husband, and that was not something he was looking forward to."Does she have to remain oblivious about this?

Axel shakes his head. "The truth has a meaning hidden from her. We don't know her just yet.""Okay then. When you're ready, you can start getting going. Happy married life, bro,"
Lyra stirred up the morning sunlight, hitting her face, causing her to let out a growl, reaching for her phone by the side of her bed, thinking it was her old room. Realisation soon hit her, causing her to bolt up with her eyes wide awake. She looked like someone who had just seen a ghost.Her heart hammered against it's ribcage as she struggled to digest the memories of what had happened lately and down to her wedding night.She pulled the covers off her, her eyes widening as she saw herself dressed in lingerie she doesn't remember putting on.Her lips quivered, hoping it wasn't what she thought it was.Did he strip her off naked? The thought boiled her up, causing her to take her sheets off and walk out of the room, her eyes roaming around in search for Axle's figure."Axel," she calls out, yet there is no response.She walked into the kitchen with a sticky note on the wall, getting her attention.She walked towards it, pulling it off.'away for some days, would be back soon.

"you fucking little slut!" Darius chokes on Raya's throats as he pinned her to the wall.Tears had already began to accumulate at the brim of her eyes feeling the fear cloud her vision. "Let go of me" she cries out a pain. She did see this coming but didn't expect it to be this soon. Initially she was suppose to be married to Darius as it's been a long time thing, and her uncle and his father betrothed them for the greatness of their empire. Mr Mickleson was infuriated when he had found out about Raya's sudden marriage. Her uncle must have said something to convince him to back off and lay low for some time.But Darius wasn't going to have it. He has been trying to reach out to Raya ever since but she's been ignoring his calls and text messages. "You think you can go behind my back and be with that fucker right! You fucking belong to me Raya and not that crap" he roared his eyes burning with fury.She shakes on her head as tears spring out of them, "You know I had nothing to do wi
Axel walked out of the private jet his tall aura unfolding as he stretched his arms relaxing his tensed muscles. His guards flanked him, their eyes scanning the surrounding area with a mix of vigilance and routine. The warm sun beat down on him, a stark contrast to the air-conditioned comfort of the jet. As he walked down the stairs his guards alliegned their footsteps echoing. Axel's tiredness was palpable. His eyes red rimmed and his face all down. The jet lag was getting to him he couldn't wait to go home and get some rest. "Mr. Storm, welcome back," one of his guards said, as they reached the bottom of the stairs. Axel nodded curtly, his eyes already scanning the area for his car. "Thanks, John. Get me to the car, please." The guards moved swiftly, clearing a path through the small crowd of onlookers. Axel's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on the sleek black sedan waiting by the hangar door. As they approached the car, the driver jumped out, opening the rear door with a r
Axel's face turned beet red with rage as he glared at Asher, his fists clenched at his sides. "He dare to lay a finger on my wife?" he growled, his voice low and menacing. Collins and Asher rushed to intervene cause they knew if he walked out of the house thing would get very messy. Darius he's digged his own grave. Asher stopped him from taking a step. "Axel, calm down dude," he urged, his hands on Axel's shoulders. "Calm down?" Axel repeated, his voice rising. "He touched my wife! He disrespected me!" "Axel, listen to us," Asher pleaded. "If you do something to Darius, it will only cause commotion. It's not worth it." Axel shook off Collins' grip, his eyes blazing with fury. "You think I care about commotion? I care about my wife's honor, and this...this..." He spat. "The coward dared to touch my wife." "Axel, please," Collins tried again. "Think about your Raya, her reputation would be at stake. If you do anything to Darius Raya would get the same share from her uncle." Axe
Axel's heart raced as he sped through the streets, his mind consumed by worry and fear. Why? The question echoed in his mind like a mantra, refusing to let go.He couldn't lose her. Not now, not ever. They may not have gotten married in a good condition but he still couldn't afford to lose her.It will only ruin his plan and he is also worried about her. As he screeched into the hospital parking lot, he could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He leapt out of the car, not even bothering to shut the door, and sprinted towards the entrance.Collins and Asher were already there, their faces somber and worried. "Axel, thank God you're here," Collins said, grabbing his arm."Where is she?" Axel demanded, his voice rough with emotion."She's in with the doctors," Asher replied, his eyes filled with sympathy. "They're doing everything they can, but...it's not looking good, Axel."Axel's world came crashing down around him. He doesn't know how to begun explaining things to his grandfat
