Katrina, who had been squatting facing Axel, suddenly stood up at this remark. "Berry..."
The nurse pushed her wheelchair and approached the two people.
"That's not what he wants. I'm ready to go to jail," Axel replied in the end.
"Good, you finally realized your mistake. But it won't be easy because I'm going to sue you for damages. You'll see!" Berry smiled wryly, her neck now wearing a neck brace due to Axel's actions.
"Ber, why are you so cruel to Axel? Didn't you also hit his face until it was bruised like this" Katrina tried to remind Berry's actions towards Axel?
Katrina knew very well that Axel wouldn't have fought back if Berry hadn't gone too far with him, but considering what the man had said earlier. It didn't demand the possibility that Berry would definitely act considering the severe injuries he had suffered.
"What should we do, Xel? Berry wouldn't be joking with that remark."
Katrina glanced at her coworker, she was starting to get concerned about Axel's condition. It was unfortunate for Axel, but as a woman Katrina couldn't help much.
"I'll try to persuade Berry, you wait here," Katrina offered.
Since Axel's rescue from the incident of two thugs who almost raped her last year, the girl began to consider Axel as her best friend, even though Axel was married, Katrina still maintained a good relationship with the man.
"You don't have to bother helping me, Na. Just let her do what she wants to do?"
"No, Xel. Didn't you just get out of jail and found not guilty? Do you want to be behind bars again?" asked Katrina sternly.
"What can I do, Na? Maybe it's my destiny to be behind bars." Axkl took a rough breath, he tried to calm himself down, although his mind was so frantic.
"No, I can't allow that! Maybe by persuading Berry, I can repay you for your service last year." Katrina stepped away to enter the room where Berry was being treated, even though Axel kept calling her the girl didn't care.
Katrina stopped her steps when she heard Berry's conversation over the phone, "You have to sue that damn man! I can't accept him making me this battered."
"You can't! You're at fault here too, you beat Axel first and I can be a witness," Katrina continued, unable to hold back her emotions at Berry's words.
Immediately, the handsome man turned to the source of the sound, and to his surprise Berry found Katrina walking into his room.
"Katrina," he called softly and quickly switched off the phone.
"Yes, I'd like to also be a key witness that you started the fight with Axel first."
Berry smiled wryly, "Do you have proof that I attacked Axel first?" he asked as he moved his wheelchair closer to Katrina.
The girl was silent for a moment, she didn't see the beginning of the two men's quarrel but the bruises on Axel's handsome face could prove that the first attacker was Berry.
"I can't be a witness." Katrina was firm with her words.
"Katrina, why do you care so much about that hobo that his wife sued? He's just a poor, useless man and don't tell me you like that poor man?"
Berry circled Katrina's body using his wheelchair, he was so annoyed that the beautiful girl he admired so much was defending another man.
"Just so you know witnesses without evidence don't mean anything. Besides, you arrived at the alley when our fight was about to end."
"You're wrong, I was already there before that."
"No need to be evasive, Katrina. I have video footage of the fight and with that evidence, Axel will be severely punished. Not to mention the evidence from the examination states that I was badly injured by his actions."
Katrina rounded her pair of black bead balls, and hearing the sentence Berry threw out made the girl draw a conclusion
"Don't tell me you planned this first?"
Berry smiled with satisfaction, "If you want to persuade me to reduce your best friend's punishment then serve me tonight," said Berry glancing at the girl of his dreams.
"How dare you!" interrupted Katrina in annoyance.
"You won't be able to do anything to help Axel because I already have plenty of evidence to prosecute and put him in jail."
"I can help Axel. I'm sure as hell, he won't stay silent."
Katrina was about to turn her body to leave Berry's room but the handsome man's hand grabbed her, "Don't be angry, dear! I'll be looking forward to your dear friend's destruction."
"We'll see about that! I'm sure the truth will prevail."
Katrina threw Berry's hand away violently, she didn't want to be held by a bad man like Berry.
Seeing the heroine's cowardice, Berry smiled triumphantly. "I'm sure you'll kneel at my feet so I can ease Axel's sentence later."
Axel, who had been standing at the door of Berry's room, swallowed his saliva when he saw Katrina in front of him.
"What is your habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations?" snapped Katrina irritably.
"Don't lower your self-esteem to help me, Na. I'm ready to go to jail."
Axel reminded his best friend not to do anything strange so that her sentence could be commuted.
"I don't know how else I can help you, Xel."
"Don't make my help back then as your repayment now, Na. I sincerely helped you and I'm not asking for anything in return. You'd better go home and I'll drop you off."
Axel looked at his cheap watch and it was already ten o'clock at night and it wasn't good for a pretty girl like Katrina to go home alone. It didn't feel like they had been at the hospital for so long just to wait for Berry to wake up.
During the ride home and waiting for the bus, Katrina repeatedly glanced at Axel. I don't know why the handsome man was so calm about his problems when he was about to be imprisoned by Berry.
"How can you be so calm, Xel?" asked Katrina in surprise.
"Should I cry and beg Berry for mercy to avoid being punished?"
"All he has to do is insult me later. I can't help it, insults, bullying, being made a scapegoat has become my daily bread, Na."
Axel took a breath, making room in his chest cavity. His life had been unfortunate since childhood.
"Maybe my destiny is like this, Na. What can I do?"
The relaxed look on Axel's face implied a lot of pent-up sadness and disappointment. Katrina knew that Axel's life problems were coming at him, but she couldn't bear to see her friend.
Suddenly, someone called out to the two as they were about to board the bus.
"Hey, wait!"
Axel's steps were halted as a middle-aged woman not only called out but tugged on Axel's hand, "Looks like you dropped something, here." The woman pointed an item towards Axel. Axel turned his head and nodded because what had fallen was a passbook that Mr. Bastian had given him this morning."Thank you, ma'am." Axel grabbed the item as he smiled kindly at the woman, while Katrina who saw it frowned. She remembered that Axel didn't have any money, let alone savings, but Katrina didn't think much of it; whether Axel had savings or not was none of her business. Once at the bus stop, Katrina and Axel walked up some stairs. Katrina's apartment was a little further from the city. When they arrived at the door of her apartment, Katrina thanked Axel for his kind gesture."Where are you going after this, Xel?" she asked, giving him a glancing at him."You don't have to think about me, go inside. It's so cold." Katrina nodded slowly and waved her hand as the handsome man was abo
"Isn't this book..." The female teller was unable to continue her sentence because all she knew was that the book she was holding was a special book that only existed in this country. They left Axel stunned, how could Axel not look like a hobo yet... Aside from the gasp, they all must have been terrified that they had gone too far with Axel. They hurried to apologize, then treated him with the utmost respect."Just come here, sir... Let me take care of everything," said the first teller, as she also asked the customer who had just arrived to relent. Axel was so dumbfounded, rather not expecting something like this to happen. Doesn't that mean the passbook Mr. Bastian gave him is genuine? It felt like he didn't believe it yet, but when asked how much money he would take. Axel only mentioned half of it because for Axel it was more than enough to pay Berry's demands."How is that possible?!" thought Axel in disbelief as he stared at the brown envelope the teller handed him.
"Mr. Alex! Geez, I'm sorry I'm late. You shouldn't have been treated like this," Poppy said in a panic, then added her concern. "You're okay, right?" Earlier, when the bank employees were busy discussing a customer with a special passbook, Poppy had seen the passbook and that's when Poppy found out about Alex's social status. Alex shook his head slightly at the pretty girl's question, then it was more about the stares of Elena and Almero and the other people who seemed surprised at Poppy's treatment of Axel. How could a manager of Morghan Bank respect Axel so much? Even referring to him as Sir, is very confusing. Certainly, Elena and Almero couldn't get enough of it. Then, Elena interrupted. "Miss, I think you've recognized the wrong person. This is my ex-husband whom I just divorced, he's a thief! You shouldn't treat him with such respect." "Yes, that's right," Almero continued in surprise. Hearing Axel being insulted like that made Poppy furious. "How presu
Such a thing happened because Axel had said he would pay her with the bundle of money in his hand, of course, she would beg to drive him for such a large fee. Meanwhile, the woman cursed in annoyance as she moved on, "Ah, damn!!! What an insolent driver." She didn't care, just busy seducing Axel into entering her car. Now it was Axel's turn to give her a sardonic smile. "That's why ladies don't be arrogant people." At the same time, a two-wheeled vehicle stopped right in front of the taxi and also greeted Axel. "Did you order it earlier?" "Yes, wait a minute," Axel replied. The handsome man asked the online motorcycle taxi to wait because he still had something to do with the taxi driver. Namely, he asked for the money he had given earlier, this time Axel was a little pushy because the driver kept trying to hold back his money. In the end, Axel managed to snatch the money. With nothing left, it was clear that the driver couldn't just give up. He was still tr
"I'd like to see Berry, is he inside?" "Mr. Berry, come please." The burly man quickly guided Axel inside. Entering a spacious house with an interior that matched the paint of the house made the eye feel comfortable. No wonder Berry was so haughty because her house was big and grand. Unlike her small and cramped apartment. "I beg your pardon, Axel! I'm ready to pay in installments all the costs of your demands as long as you let Axel go." Berry smiled wryly while taking a very long look at Katrina's face. "Why are you willing to kneel before me for that poor man." Berry hardened his jaw because he couldn't accept that the girl he liked would prefer a poor, hapless man like Axel. "Axel is my savior god and maybe it's time I return the favor for him." "You want to return the favor or you like that hobo." He moved slowly from his seat and was now squatting in front of Katrina, "Don't you know that I liked you a long time ago if you want Axel to be free of charge
Ready or not, Axel finally decided to visit Geraldo's family. He called the number on the business card and informed them of his arrival. Along the way to the address, Axel was nervous and hesitant. He wondered whether the steps he had taken were right or not. His feelings at that time were erratic. He repeatedly considered whether to contact Axel's family or stop until the wind that blew strongly against his body and face barely made him feel any sensation. Despite his inner war, Axel finally let the online driver take him to the front of Godrigo's large, luxurious gate. "Here we are, brother." The online driver's brother had to say that because Axel didn't get off. He had to call out to Axel several times to break the man's reverie. "Ah, yes, sorry!" Axel hurried downstairs and reached into his pants pocket while taking the money he had prepared to pay the fare. This time, the driver was surprised by the money Axel handed over to him. It was fantastic, like
Axel caught a glimpse of what it meant that his assumptions had been wrong all along. At first, he thought Axel was an illegitimate grandson or an unwanted grandson but it turned out that a glimpse of the grandfather's story earlier that he was deliberately separated from his family. At least that was enough to make Axel feel relieved. "They've done this to my grandson and I can't accept it, Bastian." "Anyway, I don't want to know, you must avenge them! If you don't, I will." There was silence for a few seconds, Axel heard that but as a new member of the Geraldo family, he was silent even though in his heart there were so many questions. Who had the heart to separate the grandson of the richest businessman from his family? Isn't it very strange how a wealthy family like the Geraldo's could experience such a thing considering how tightly guarded the house is? "I'll think about retaliation later. Right now your grandson is here and back. We'd better welcome him." Luckil
But before the couple could answer, Axel answered first."Just ignore the unimportant people like them, let's go in." Poppy nodded and then turned around. Before they had entered the hotel, Axel uttered another scathing sentence. More precisely, he was responding to Almero's sentence which he had not had time to respond to."Oh yeah, you don't have to be scared of me like that because I won't pick back up worthless junk like him." Almero must have been very upset to hear that sentence, his eyes rounded with a flushed face. Elena, who heard that, began to get angry."You can say I'm junk, you're a smelly piece of trash who doesn't know himself!" Hearing Elena's words made Poppy turn to the woman but Axel didn't care. Instead, a faint smile was carved from the corner of Axel's lips, he did it on purpose."That woman has gone too far, it's like she's uneducated.""It's not that she's uneducated, it's that she got her diploma through bribery, don't care." Axel then invited
"Of course, sir. I put Jean's body very well hidden and whoever found it was a smart man." Jordi answered as he was.Aldrich sighed heavily, remembering a slice of meat as the pot-bellied man began to remember a corpse inside his secret room. His eyes were slightly teary, remembering the incident two days ago that made the man have to kill someone he loved the most.He intended to call his household assistant and tell her that no one would try to enter his room because he didn't want his privacy disturbed by someone.However, when the call was connected, no one wanted to answer the phone, making Jupiter furious because, until the tenth time, he did not answer the phone."Why isn't he answering my calls?" he muttered in annoyance.Hearing Axel's coughing made Aldrich turn to Axel."Are you awake?" Axel smiled bitterly. "Whether I'm conscious or not. It's none of your business because you're not my uncle.""Indeed, I'm not your uncle and it never crossed my mind that I'd have blood ties
"What do you mean? Are you trying to negotiate with me! Even if I die, I won't admit it because Vania deserves to die.""Not just my mother, you also killed my father." Aldrich smiled amusedly, "It's not my fault if your father was also in the same car with Vania that time." Hearing that Axel clenched his fingers in annoyance, his hands that were still tied behind his back kept trying to untie the rope."You should know Aldrich that karma does apply! It's not enough that you lost me 20 years ago and you dare to separate me from my parents forever.""If you hadn't been there, I wouldn't have killed my step-sister.""What do you mean?" asked Axel frowning curiously. Again Aldrich smiled amusedly and looked at Axel with sharp eyes, he began to tell him that since finding out Vania was pregnant, his father had given more importance to his sister than Aldrich until a sense of social jealousy arose in him.However, Vania's gentle demeanor and continued love for the baby in her be
Unexpectedly, this made Boy's suspicions begin to grow because it turned out that the man also said that Sonia and Vania were a disgrace. A question began to arise in the man's mind.The boy tried to continue to lure the man into telling him about Sonia, but it turned out that Sonia was Vania's biological daughter."Vania and I had an affair when she was not married to Daniel," said Mr. Haris seriously.He shuddered at the thought of the stabbing that had happened to Almero. Aldrich was furious. His heart felt hot and burning. The heartbreaking memory of the stabbing made him think of Vania again and the murder flashed through his head. A dark memory of Aldrich's life."You have to take me to see that brat," Aldrich said to his assistant.The assistant was stunned by Aldrich's request. A request that he could not help. And impossible to do."N-no, sir. That's a difficult thing for me to do. Axel won't want to meet if he doesn't want to," he replied informally."Do it, now! Think of a
Inside a room with a clean white color and lots of CCTV recorders. Two men stepped into the room while carrying a file followed by one long-haired girl behind the two well-built men. Bunga could already guess that when the man was a detective who would interrogate him."How are you today, Bunga?" asked Gio, very friendly."As you can see! Aren't I here because of you?" he replied so snappily.That made Gio smile. "I'm doing my job well because if you're not arrested, then a lot of murders will happen in this city. Is it not the job of a detective to catch the killer? , "Gio even asked back.It made Bunga swallow her saliva repeatedly because, indeed, what Gio said was true, e, but being in this room and soon to be in prison made Bunga more distant from Niko, but a small smile was implied on her lips.Gio, who watched Bunga's movements, also felt that the woman had a sense of love that was blind and beyond reason until she could do things that she did not realize that the act could har
Gio handed the memo he found to Niko. In the memo, Bunga deliberately twisted the facts, so that she was not considered the main suspect in Sonia's death. Bunga, who also saw the memo, was getting scared, d, and her hands were already shaking, ng, but with extra strength, the woman tried to hold it."Mas, do not just believe what is shown; it could be a coincidence, Mas. Everyone's handwriting could be the same, Mas." Bunga still used the opportunity to defend herself. She didn't want to end up behind bars. Niko let out a long sigh. He put the memo on the glass table in front of him now."We found this memo in the same handwriting as yours. We hope your wife confesses to her crime." Gio looked at Niko and Bunga in turn."I couldn't have done such a heinous thing! You must be slandering me and are desperate because you can't find the real culprit," Bunga argued angrily."We will not be negligent in collecting evidence; all the evidence we collect, we will investigate the truth, and a
He had intended to ask Bunga to write something down for him because tomorrow he wanted to cook a nice meal for her as a way of making amends for the two years he had wasted on her."Do you really want to cook for me, Mas?" asked Bunga with a big smile."Yes, but could you first write down what food you like the most," replied Niko, smiling.Hearing that, Bunga immediately got up from her seat and took a book and pen to record her favorite dishes. With a very happy look on her face, Bunga immediately gave the note to her husband.Niko immediately took the book and his eyes suddenly opened in surprise when staring at Bulan's handwriting, which was almost exactly the same as his lover's handwriting."This is really your writing? I didn't expect that your writing was very good. Could you write my name here?" Niko continued to persuade Bunga to write his name in the book. Following the wishes of the man he loved so much made Bunga immediately write Niko's name in the book and unexpectedl
The words that came out of Baron’s mouth really made Axel’s blood boil. How could he not, how could he make things worse and blaspheme his mother who had passed away. “There’s no way I can believe what you’re saying,” Gio snapped, convinced that his friend couldn’t possibly know the man. Suddenly the man smiled wryly, as if mocking him. He revealed that he was in a relationship for quite some time after knowing Niko. Since then Baron has been close to the relationship, he also revealed that Vania has an adopted daughter named Sonia. She was the girl who loved him so much that she sacrificed her crown so that they could be united. Plakk!!! “Don’t talk nonsense, my mom can’t have an adopted daughter and you can’t say that,” Axel snapped, raising the rhythm of his voice. Gio touched Axel’s shoulder lightly and asked the handsome man to stay calm. “Sonia? Who is that woman exactly?” Feeling very curious, Axel asked Geraldo about it. Until Geraldo seemed surprised by the girl named S
"You leave this to us and we'll keep interrogating this man," said the detective named Gio, not wanting the two men to interfere.About to take the man into his car, someone suddenly stopped Gio's movement. A man in a black suit with blue eyes touched his shoulder lightly."You can't handle it alone?"Gio turned to the source of the voice and unexpectedly found out that the man was Axel."So what?" asked Gio, looking confused."I have to participate in your interrogation because you might manipulate the data," Axel quipped, remembering the story from a year ago.However, who would have thought that on the way to the police station, two cars intercepted them and they were hurt to avoid the attack from the two cars. "Why is that car following us?"Axel had been paying attention. He felt there would be danger immediately, asking the driver to increase the speed and not forgetting also Axel called his men to break up the group to divert the two cars."Can you drive your car faster or I'l
Boy, who was getting angry with the man's attitude, immediately looked at him sharply. It was clear that at this time the girl had started with the drama of the man they had just arrested. How could he not? Boy could read her thoughts stating that she did it on purpose in order to hinder their work?She sighed heavily as she kept looking back, but when she wanted to pick up her fallen closet key, Boy had to bend down and pick up the key.When he managed to grab the key, a fierce man with hawk-like, long-haired eyes stared at him from behind. His face was almost the same as the man they had captured earlier, leading to the assumption that the men were twins."Could they be--" Boy pursed his lips and immediately called Devano to whisper that to their team leader.However, Boy was relaxed and didn't seem to know that he had realized that there was a man watching him from a distance.Likewise, with Axel, the man stepped into the car and told Roy to keep an eye on the man. Pulling the two m
