REVENGE OF AXEL STORM 29.
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
REVENGE OF AXEL STORM 30.
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

REVENGE OF AXEL STORM 31.
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
REVENGE OF AXEL STORM 33.
Axel's mind raced as he sat in his cell, his thoughts consumed by rage and anger. He couldn't believe he had been humiliated like this, thrown in jail for a crime he didn't commit.Mr. Mickleson had it out for him, and he knew it. They were trying to get rid of him, to silence him, and he wasn't going to be silenced.But why? What had he done to deserve this? He thought back to the events leading up to his arrest, his mind replaying every moment. He had been at the hospital by Raya's side, hoping for her recovery. He had nothing to do with her attempted murder—nothing.But he also knows that it was a plan to get rid of him, and he couldn't be more surprised that they were as daft as he had expected.Of course, what could he expect from them?But they didn't believe him. They thought he was involved and that he had tried to kill his wife. The thought sent a wave of nausea through him. How could they think that of him? He loved Raya more than anything.As the hours passed, Axel's anger

Axel's eyes blazed with anger as Asher explained the terms of his bail. "You want me to work for Mickelson? As a personal assistant to Darius? You must be joking!"Asher's expression was sympathetic but firm. "I'm afraid it's the only way, Axel. Unless you want your secret to be exposed."Axel's face twisted in disgust. "There has to be another way," he says, the thought enraging him.He could never stand to work by Darius' side; he'd murder him before he even blinked his eyes.This can't even be an option; there has to be another way, because there's no way on earth he would agree to that term and condition.The thought alone irked him.Asher shrugged. "Call it what you will. But you need their help, and this is the price you have to pay." He reasoned, but Axel was too enraged to even answer or listen to what he had to say.He knew he couldn't stand out now, not when the mission wasn't completed, and it was the best thing he'd have to do now, but he didn't want to bow down to their m

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 her 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 locked as she sat properly, her eyes roaming around his face, which had bruises that had already begun to heal due to the ring.He w
