"The apartment you had ordered for 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 for about an hour or so, filled with fake laughs and energy. Even though there weren't much people around some business aqusaintsnce came.Axel had ended his conversation seeing as his aunt in law was trying to belittle him as her husband and that is not something he was looking forward tonight."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 form Raya but it didn't bother him and he wasn't going to do just that.He doesn't trust her well enough to not keep secrets away from him. Axel shakes on his head, "The truth has to meaning hidden from her. We don't know her just yet""Okay then. When you're ready, you can start getting g
"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

Axel's eyes were sunken, his face gaunt, as he sat beside Raya's bed, pleading with her to speak to him. But Raya's eyes were empty, her face a mask of cold indifference."Rays, please," Axel begged, his voice cracking. "Say something. Anything. 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? What did he do to you?"The urgency in his tune lingered as he pleaded with her to say something, even if it was one of a few things.She hasn't said a word since he got here. It's like she's devoid of any source of emotion, and for some reason, it bothered him.But Raya's silence was deafening, and her stillness was unnerving.Axel's attempts at conversation were met with cold indifference,
As they pulled into the driveway, Axel's anxiety grew. He had been trying to get Raya to talk to him for days, but she remained stubbornly silent."Raya, we're home," Axel said softly as he helped her out of the car.Raya's eyes gazed blankly ahead, her face expressionless.Axel's heart ached as he led her inside, his mind racing with ways to get her to talk to him."Raya, please," he begged as they entered the living room. "Just say something. Anything."But Raya's silence was deafening.Axel tried again, his voice cracking with emotion. "Raya, say something. What happened? What did he do to you? I promise to protect you, and I can't do that if you don't let me." He tried to reason, but she wasn't going to listen to it.Raya's eyes flickered, but she remained silent.Axel's frustration boiled over. "Raya, damn it! Talk to me!"But Raya turned and walked away, her feet echoing down the hallway."Raya, wait!" Axel called out, but she disappeared into their bedroom, locking the door beh
