"Calm down baby, dad will do something about her." His mom comforts him while looking at his husband, intently indeed.
His father was sitting quietly on the single sofa, sipping his black coffee.
A noble family life.
A few days later, Axlle arrived with Dr. Elizalde, his father.
"where is your son!" shouted the young man, facing Dillion's father with his might.
"What are you doing here?" the lady greeted the young man who was seething with anger and hatred.
"You Animal! What did you do to my wife?!" Dillion's father was silently looking at the Man with Axlle, he saw.
"What are you talking about? I never lay my hands on her" he answered and sipped the still hot tea
"Where's Dillion?" Axlle asked calmly, just holding back his anger. he chose to remain calm than show any weakness in front of this sick family.
"We don't know! He should have been here for a while but he's still gone!" Out of anger, Axlle hit her with a baseball bat that he's been holding for a while.
"Liar! we have agreed that now I will take your son!" Dr. shouted angrily. Elizalde. Axl looked at it. He's eyes were teary, he can't believe that instead of confronting the family because of what happened to his mother, All this time, he is just worried because of his situation.
"Pa? Aren't you worried and bothered why they have to k*ll mother?!" Axlle angrily turned it around, his father scoffed "you stay away kidd" he didn't finish what he had to say when Axlle swung the bat he's been holding causing his father to lose consciousness.
He approached it, his eyes are cold and dark. He checked if it was still breathing and yes, so far, he's still alive.
The last one, he approached Dillion's father who just looked at him without emotion, "answer my damn question, Alejandro! I know...y-you killed m-mother!" he shouted while tears wetted his cheeks and covered his beautiful eyes.
"It's not my fault that he blocked you, isn't it, Axll" he rushed at the old man one after the other and quickly..until he k*lled him.
"Axlle?" he turned his gaze to the person he's been waiting for since then. Dillion.
weakly holding the bat and slowly walked closer to Dillion with a smile on his face but not until he realized, Axlle isn't himself.
due to a nervousness and fear, it slowly retreated not knowing that it had reached the stairs. Dillion lost consciousness due to a head fracture sustained from falling down the stairs.
THIRD PERSON POV
From that day so far, Axlle had once had his imaginary brother whom took him for advantage.
It is somewhat called "Dissociative Identity Disorder" or simply called "Split Personality". He tends to imagine and having a self conversation after the incident. He lost his mother, his father don't remember anything due to the impact of the bat that hit his head, his mother died for him that caused him a severe trauma and bonus, he even lost his girlfriend, Diana.
Diana broke up with him because of Ace, because of hating his brother, he told what happened to his brother's boyfriend so in exchange, Axlle returned the favor by having him lose Dillion as well even though he hates him so much.
"Now, I'll remind you once again. You have no rights to forget those memories, Dillion." His voice was cold and calm when he said those words.
Dillion hugs his trembling knees as guilt starts eating him alive.
"I-I lost mom because of you...I lost her too because of you too" Axlle refused his gaze with tears escaping from his eyes. He can never forget those past no matter how hard he tried.
Dillion cried himself out, not minding Ace and Axlle in front of him..
'I should be pleased...but why? why can I feel nothing but sympathy and pity him?' Axlle though as he heard Dillion's sobs
Dillion may be selfish but they're just a child at that time, playing fire of love in their palm.
"'Revenge...won't put you in ease'..now I see what those sentences mean" Axlle murmured as he stood up and chose to leave the room to get some fresh air. Dillion never ceases to soften him.
AXLE POV
I left the house and got into the car. I ordered my men to look after those two. Never mind Ace if he escapes, right now, I have no interest in him.
After several hours of flight, I finally arrived.
I went out with a bunch of white Narcissus flowers to put on mom's grave. It's her favorite flower after all.
"Hello mom. How are you? I'm sorry I only visited again today." I smiled as I started cleaning her tombstone.
"Catarina" a smile forms to my lips as I read my mom's name. It has always been this beautiful.
DILLION POV
I heard the door open but I didn't pay attention to it, I just sat on the floor, leaning on the bed.
I feel weak after those scenes...I never thought it could be this hard. I'm wondering...did he..suffer this much?
I bit my lower lips to avoid making any noise, I was tired of crying
"It's you who lead them to their own grave!"
"Because of you! my mother has to suffer and die!"
Axlle's words echoed in my head like a broken plaque..those words sure are sharp. I scoff.
I looked around, Ace isn't here because Axlle and I separated before he left earlier.
the curtain caught my attention so I slowly stood up and pulled it, I can hear footsteps from behind but I don't care. It is just a mere maid.
"yeah!! let me go!" I'm struggling here because of the strength of whoever it is.
He hung me up using his one arm he put around my waist a while ago so I couldn't move. It threw me on the bed before it got on top of me.
"A-Axlle.." I was struggling to breathe due to exhaustion. He grabbed my wrist and cornered my pulse spot area using his one hand only. He's looking at me, the depth of his gaze.
"just...just kill me" I looked away because of what I said.
"Don't worry. your debt...is paid." he whispered.
A few days later, Axlle brought me with him to a rest house he said but no, it's a mansion. The only difference is that it is in a forested area.
I just quietly watched outside the window of the room where I was staying. Ace isn't with us, he didn't include it.
"Manang Lizel told me that you didn't even touch your food." I was surprised by the voice coming from behind me. It was Axl.
"What do you want?" he asked. I shook my head and hugged my own knees.
"You did skip your breakfast and now, your lunch. You want me to feed you?" I shook my head at what he said
"What do you want then?" he added. I remain silent because I know that my answer will make him angry. I can't bear staying with someone who has PPD at all. He's scarier than a demon I swear.
"Dillions." he called my name out but still, i force to stay quiet.
"I'm asking you nicely."
"Dillions!" I was shocked so I backed away from shouting, I covered my both side ears and shouted "Ace" name.
I saw how his expression changed.
"You're with your husband yet you shouted nobody's name." I was stunned by what he said and stared at it.
"H-He's not nobody..." it's almost a whispered.
"don't repeat it." litany of this and turned back not until I realized something. What does he mean by, "Husband?" I murmured
He turned his gaze and faced me once again. I gulf as it started to walk closer to where I was. I feel nervous.
I retreated until I was at the headboard of the bed, he leaned down so I closed my eyes and tilted my head a bit but my eyes widened when I heard the opening and closing of the bedside cabinet. he took the brown envelope with the divorce paper written on it from such a long time ago.
'So he didn't submit it at all?'
"We're married." he said in such an affection
"a-ahh.." I can't find any words to utter as he brought his face closer to mine. After he rampage a few days ago, is he suddenly like this?
"A-Axlle.." it's awkward since we're only a few inches away from each other
"What?" I was about to answer when he claimed my lips in a passionate way. I can't keep up with it.
"Respond" he whispered. I was about to moan the second time he claimed my lips again.
'I s-suddenly remember.. we're married yet we never slept even once the night after our wedding basically, it's our first time..' What the hell am I even thinking?
"a-ahh-" he got my lower lips cut so i tasted my own blood but it still didn't stop. I was running out of breath so I gently pushed it away
"A-Axll-" I'm so done, he licks, sucks and plays my lower lips. seems he's enjoying to taste my own blood.
"D*mn, why's it taste sweet for fucking sake?" he's like a demon who's ready to devour me any time soon.
He claimed my lips again but this time around, I tried to conjoin how he kissed me torridly.
I put my both arms around his nape so he did lift me up, holding my waist firmly and he took my place just now sitting and leaning on the headboard of the bed.
It turned out that he still has an affection towards me after all these mere months.
I was panting for air when I broke away from the kiss, I was sitting in his lap facing him. he's looking at my lips, his gaze is strange to the point that I looked away but he immediately made me face him.
He crossed the valley between his face and my neck and finally planted a butterfly kisses there suddenly...
"Afternoon honestly then...then" I immediately pushed myself upright from sitting on Axlle's lap and shyly looked at Manang Lizel who was standing at the door holding a tray with only a sandwich and melon juice. .
DILLION POV
It's already 2 in the afternoon and since we're in this forest, I thought of going around.
"u-umm...A-Axlle, what's the matter.." I couldn't look at it back because of fear, awkwardness or mixed emotions especially after I interacted with it in the previous activity.
"What is it?" he asked and as usual, same tone.
I turned my gaze to the trees outside being buffeted by the wind, leaves falling from above. He seemed to get it so he put down the book he was reading before glancing at me.
I was surprised by his way, especially what happened earlier was still fresh. I looked away when he suddenly licked his lips after covering me from head to toe and now, he licked his lower lip while his eyes were stuck on my waist.
"You can. Want me to tour you?" I immediately shook my head and left him in the room and went out immediately. that pervert tsk.
The strong and fresh wind from the east greeted me as I exited the main door. His house is french style, it is big and has a modern design. money can literally do anything.
I ended up in a quiet place, A path along the top of rugged cliff welcome me. It's beautiful in here god
I immediately ran to the center, there's a small beautiful flowers that scattered around the said place, It's almost all green in here-no, it seems like the whole area is green, The wind is still strong and it's very fresh here.
I giggled and started running around the place like a kid out of the crib.
"huh-" I took a deep breath and laid down on the very clean and bright green grass. It's so perfect, like bermuda grass only fake but no, it's real. "what a beautiful sight to watch" a smile forms to my lips as the strong wind begins to pass.
I close my eyes and breathe in and out. it's delicious here..
After a while, I opened my eyes but a man appeared. he looked into my eyes while lying on his back but our positions were reversed. I was lying down and he was on his haunches. Because of the shock, I immediately got up causing our foreheads to hit hard that made him groan.
"I-" I immediately stood up and backed away a little. I looked at him as he stood up while his own forehead was furrowed.
"I-I'm sorry if I startled you.." he initiated the first conversation. I slowly nodded and smiled a little "I'm sorry too" I replied. Confusion is visible in his face so I laugh awkwardly and point to my forehead so he immediately gets what I am implying.
He offered his right hand for a handshake, "Leyon" he introduced himself. I'm about to grab his hand when suddenly a hand grabs my wrist, It's Axlle. He intertwined our hands finally and coldly stared at Leyon.
"You have no right to know his name especially touch him." It's a cold litany before I look away. The expression of his eyes is gentle as far as he gave me a gaze full of affection, Suddenly, he smile d and caress my cheeks.
"I was worried because you haven't come back yet so I thought of following you and fetching you to go home." he said that's why I was shocked by what he did but my expression immediately returned to before when I realized something.
'What a showoff. He probably won't let me have a friend in this province won't he? I thought so too.
"Who are you? Can't you see that he's uncomfortable?" The lion interfered so my eyes widened as I stared at it but it was looking at Axlle. They exchanged glares so I immediately let go of Axlle's grip but I regretted it more. He placed and wrapped his hand around my waist and gave Leyon a playful smirk.
"My husband? uncomfortable around me? you've got nerves huh" he scoffed so I bowed before looking away.
If he can't forgive my sins yet, he doesn't have any rights to play with my feelings. Using the husband word in such strangers just to get back at me? I regret what I did before...I didn't mean to cause her mom a trouble...
I returned to my trance when his palm moved, he tightened his grip on my waist as if he was annoyed.
I looked at him and he's looking at me intently.
"Lets go home." he held my wrist and started walking away. I looked at Leyon who smiled at this before completely walking away.
To be continued...
