"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? You're well aware that she's only looking down upon you because of"

Asher was trying to reason with Axel and try to convince him that he shouldn't keep the truth from Raya, but it didn't bother him, and he wasn't going to do just that.

He doesn't trust her well enough to keep secrets from him.

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,"

    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

"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

Just tell me you're okay."But Raya's gaze remained fixed on the ceiling, her expression unchanging.Axel tried again, his voice rising in desperation. "Raya, why did you do it? Why did you try to kill yourself?"Raya's eyes flickered, but she remained silent.Axel's face contorted in anguish. "You're scaring me, Raya. Say something. What happened to you?

    Axel stood in his penthouse, his eyes fixed on Liam. It was the weekend, and it's part of today's schedule to have training. Liam gazed at Axel with a critical eye. "You're getting better, Axel. Your strength is intensifying, and your movements are more precise." Axel nodded, his face set in doing the best he could. "I practice all the time. Too bad I haven't used my skills on anybody, but it's becoming very tempting, and I worry that sooner or later I will lose my cool." Liam smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Axel. You have potential—great potential. Sooner or later, your powers will be revealed, and you'll move into the academy. Before then, I suggest you keep your anger contained and not harm any civilians." Axel's eyes widened, his heart racing with excitement. "The academy? You mean... the Phoenix Academy?" Liam nodded, his expression serious. "Yes, Axel. You have the makings of a great warrior.

    Raya sat in the corner of the dark room, her body wracked with sobs. Every inch of her ached, a reminder of the brutal hands that had dragged her here. The room was too dark and suffocating, making her feel like she was drawing in her nightmare even though she was. Slow and silent sobs escaped from her lips as she tried to adjust her sitting position, but she had to bite on her lower lip to stop the cry that threatened to slip. She couldn't see a glint of lightness, and the silence in the room was oppressive and scary; it made her heart skip every here and there. The only sound that was heard was her deep breaths.Her mind raced with the thought of Axel. She had tried so hard to warn him not to get involved with her uncle or Darius, along with his father; they are two dangerous men that one shouldn't dream of mingling with. She hoped that he had realized that, but he was too bullheaded for a poor person.He never listened, always so confident in his abilities, never realizing the d

    Axel walked through the front door of his apartment, exhausted from the long day it had been. The martial arts session had completely drained the daylights out of him. He needed to get some rest, and part of him hoped that Raya was asleep, as he didn't have the energy to entertain any of her dramas, at least not today again. He knows she has so many unanswered questions, but when it is the right time, he will let her in on it, but for now, no. As he walked further into the house, his exhaustion quickly turned to shock. The room was in disarray—furniture overturned, vases shattered, and papers scattered everywhere. "Raya!" Axel called out, panic creeping into his voice. "Raya, where are you?" He rushed through the living room, eyes scanning the area for any sign of his wife. But she was nowhere to be found. His heart dropped as he let out a frustrating hiss, yelling out her name. "Raya, answer me!" Axel yelled, his panic turning to fear. He dashed into the bedroom, but it wa

    Axel trudged through the front door, exhausted from a long day of work. He expected to find Raya asleep, but instead, she sat in the parlor, her eyes blazing with anger."Where have you been?" she demanded, her voice low and menacing.Axel sighed, too stressed from dealing with Darius all day to engage in a fight. "I've been working, Raya. Where else would I be?"Raya's eyes narrowed. "Don't lie to me, Axel. I know you've been leaving early in the morning, before I wake up, and returning late at night, when I'm asleep. What are you doing?"Axel shrugged, trying to brush her off. "I'm just working, Raya. That's all." He responds, wanting the conversation to get over real quick.He didn't want to get involved in an argument, and he wouldn't tell her about working for Darius, but he knew he had to tell her about it, not just that it had to do with Darius.But Raya wasn't having it.

    Axel's eyes narrowed as he waited in line at the cafe, his mind still reeling from the morning's events. Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder, and his ex, Ashley, stood before him with a smug smile on her face."Well, well, well. Look what we have here. The poor, worthless Axel," she sneered, her voice dripping with venom.Axel ignored her, but Ashley wouldn't let up. "Hey, I'm talking to you. You're not too good to respond, are you?"Axel's eyes flashed with anger, but he remained silent."Oh, I see. You're still as mute as ever. No wonder you're stuck in a dead-end job, working for my sweetheart, Darius," Ashley taunted.Axel wanted so badly to ignore her, but no matter how much he wanted to resent her, she had been his first lover.He can still remember when he made things official with her and how she showed him what it meant to be loved.She made him believe in love; they had plans for each other, and he wanted to fight the world for them just so he could give them a decent li

    Axel's eyes fluttered open, his gaze falling on Raya's peaceful face. She was lying on his chest, her body warm and soft against his. A chuckle slid out of his throat as he gazed at her, finding her adorable in her sleep.He gently placed a kiss on her forehead, not wanting to wake her. She stirred slightly, her eyes fluttering open, but then closing again, her body relaxing into his.Axel smiled a guilty one, knowing that he was responsible for her current situation.He felt a sense of pride wash over him. want to protect her if it's the last thing he's been doing.But as he gazed at her, his smile faded, replaced by a scowl. He remembered where he was going and who he was working for. Darius.His anger palpitated, and his heart raced with resentment. He didn't want to work for Darius; he didn't want to be at his mercy. But he had no choice.With a heavy sigh, Axel carefully removed himself from Raya's embrace, not wanting to wake her. He disappeared into the bathroom, his mind alrea

    Axel trudged through the front door, his feet heavy with defeat. He felt like he was surrendering, like he was losing himself. The thought of working for Darius and being at his mercy made him feel cold and numb.He went straight to the bedroom, seeking to clear his mind. As he walked into the room, he came into view of her lying on the bed, her eyes closed and her face pale. Axel's heart ached with what he couldn't fathom. He wanted to talk to her, to tell her everything, but he couldn't find the words.He stood there, frozen, his eyes fixed on her face. He wanted to say something, anything, but his voice was trapped in his throat. He felt like he was drowning, like he was losing his grip on reality.He watched here's split open, knowing that she was never asleep but was only pretending, and he didn't make any attempt to wake her up or anything. Their eyes clocked as she sat properly, her eyes roaming around his face, which had bruises that had already begun to heal due to the ring
