The Heir's Revenge

Accused of being a suspect

"You don't have to lie to me! I have proof that my father gave all his wealth to you," she snapped unhappily.

"What do you mean?" asked Axel, surprised to hear what his wife had said so harshly.

"I'm sure you're planning to take all of my father's wealth after he dies. Isn't that right? Don't think I don't know your foul plans!"

   Axel widened his eyes, wondering how Elena could possibly think that.

    Like a thunderbolt in broad daylight, he really didn't expect his wife to do such a thing to him, leaving Axel speechless as he was taken to the police station.

    The two policemen asked him a lot of questions but Axel was silent and did not answer them, he kept looking back but Elena did not see his departure at all.

    Arriving at the police station, Axel came out when the two policemen brought him in and wanted to arrest him. He was interrogated several times but Axel remained silent. There was no strength for him after his wife walked away from him.

"Why are you silent, stupid man! Punish him now so he'll talk," sarcastically snapped a man who was not wearing a police uniform.

BUKK!!!

Axel continued to be beaten to a pulp, now his entire face was covered in bruises and the corners of his lips were oozing fresh blood. A tall, burly man had just walked into the holding cell. "Is he still not talking?" the man asked, raising one eyebrow.

"He remains silent, sir," replied the man who had tortured him earlier.

"Torture him until he speaks and--," Before the man could finish his sentence, someone's voice almost reached Axel's ears, "And if possible, put him in prison for life because he stabbed me. What a shameless human, if Mr. Charles hadn't insisted on marrying him off to Elena, I would have given up on their relationship."

    The man was none other than Almero, and he asked the police to punish him severely. "If possible, that man should not exist on this earth anymore."

"Yes, sir." The uniformed man nodded as Almero walked out of the holding cell but for the last time, he had something to say to Mr. Charles' favorite son-in-law.

The man with the thin mustache sat down as he gripped Axel's chin firmly, "After this, I want you to separate from Elena! Only I will be Mr. Charles' son-in-law. You don't deserve to be with Elena, you are already poor, not handsome, how can you be with my girlfriend, you should have realized yourself long ago."

Plak!

   Almero slapped Axel's face so hard that red droplets dripped from the corner of his lips, "Punish him severely, if necessary execute this man so that he does not return to my beloved," he said with a glare.

"I don't want him to return to Elena later, if my plan fails then I will find a way to kill him so that he can disappear from the face of this earth," said Almero with high emotions.

    Axel began to analyze what Almero said, a negative thought about them. "What do you mean? Don't tell me you planned all this?" said Axel looking at the man with a searching gaze.

    Without shame and guilt, the man nodded and revealed that the infighting that had been going on with Elena and Axel was his plan. 

"You should know that I haven't liked you for a long time," replied the man who had just set foot in front of the holding cell with a proud look on his face and was very happy to see the unwanted man now in prison.

"So you two..." Axel realized that the fight between him and his wife was the work of Almero and Elena.

"Why? You want to protest?" asked Almero, smiling sarcastically.

"You're doing a good job because I paid for it," he whispered in the uniformed man's ear.

   However, it was barely audible in Axel's ears. It made Axel furious. It was enough that he had been insulted and relented with Almero but the man was still mean to him. "You'll regret what you've done, Almero. What a jerk!" shouted Axel in a fit of rage.

  "How dare you call me that, huh!" growled Almero as he tugged at the collar of his tattered shirt.

"You could have died here without anyone knowing, so be careful what you say," Almero threatened with narrowed eyes.

"Stop it, Al. You don't need to be provoked by this hobo's words. We have to go now," Elena urged, trying to calm her lover's anger.

    Axel smiled wryly and didn't fall for Almero's threats, after today the handsome man with blue beady eyes was no longer afraid of losing Elena. Since learning of Elena's affair, he had begun to realize that everything Elena had shown all along was fake.

"Do you think I'm scared? Even if you die, I won't make your life easy, remember this is my promise!" the man exclaimed with a glare as if the fire that was in him had now been lit.

   Almero just gave a mocking smile and wasn't sure what Axel was talking about. "You just sit here and tomorrow the divorce papers will come down because Elena won't go back to a man like you, you trashy man," he said mockingly.

    From that moment on, Axel shut himself off from the feelings that were now anchored within him. Love had been lost since the day his wife's affair was exposed and the truth manipulated, now buried all the love and affection that was in Axel's heart.

    The beating that the two policemen had given him no longer hurt him because the reality of life was now more bitter and painful.

    The policemen kicked Axel several times in the stomach, and stomped on his hands and feet with such cruelty. What other torture could Axel not feel at the same time of the day?

That day was the most unlucky day and Axel will never forget it. Almero and Elena, those two names he will always remember until his death, the insults so far that have continued to be brushed off make Axel rise because Elena is with him but it's different this time, Axel must bury those sweet memories deeply because after his wife's departure with Almero earlier. Elena who had only been pretending to be good to him because there was a shrimp behind the stone, the woman only wanted to take Charles' wealth.

"I hope this day passes quickly!" he said with tears mixed with blood that kept dripping from the corner of his lips.

    Axel blinked his eyes slowly, hoping that God would take his life that day. For Axel, his life had no meaning anymore. His happiness was now gone in an instant, Axel closed his eyes slowly but hearing the faint footsteps of someone made Axel open them again but the man had no more energy after being tortured so cruelly.

"Stop it!" someone shouted. Axel vaguely heard the voice before he lost consciousness.

"You have dared to go beyond the law." The man in the black suit glanced sharply at the two policemen who were beating Axel unconscious.

"Who are you?" one of the policemen asked curiously.
