IT'S NOW THE fifth day since I last left the safe house. I wasn't comfortable leaving the house and continuing my life like nothing happened. I still felt this bitterness that was surrounding me. The sorrow that his following is destroying me.
Everything that I see makes me think of my baby. The baby that I don't have anymore.
I feel so miserable and ugly at the same time.
Every time I would stare at myself in the mirror, my hands would automatically go to my stomach. I often just look at it and caress it with my hands. I then start crying and make myself feel bad.
It gets harder with every day that goes by. It's like a part of you was ripped away from me.
Axel has stayed with me through this whole grieving process which was something that made things better for both of us. I know he's suffering too and it breaks my heart to see him this vulnerable and sad. He might not show it but I know he's hurt.
The sound of rain splashing onto the window was heard as I looked up to the ceiling. Axel wasn't in bed so I assumed he was in the living room.
Sighing and aggressively rubbing my face in up and down motions with my hands, I tossed my bedsheets off my body and they landed on the other side of the bed. I slowly lifted my legs over my bed and put my feet on the cold floor beneath me. Getting out of bed, I stretched my sore muscles as I make a groaning sound.
I grabbed Axel's shirt and put it on which reached right mid my thighs. I then walked out of the room, looking for Axel.
Doing sudden movement still hurt my stomach which was also still bruised from the 'incident' a few days ago. When I entered the living room, I didn't see Axel but I heard something from the kitchen.
I walked up to the kitchen and saw him standing there, cooking.
Did I mention that he was shirtless and that his whole tattooed back was on display for me to see?
I sneaked behind him and wrapped my arms around his torso. "Morning," I murmured against his skin.
"Morning, baby," he chuckled as he put his arm around my body, pulling me to his side and kissing the top of my head. I looked down and saw he was making scrambled eggs. "I wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed," I looked up at him and smiled.
"Sorry, I ruined your surprise. I could go back into the bedroom and act like I'm sleeping," I jokingly said.
"Nah, I'd like to have you here with me so that I can stare at your perfection," I lowered my head to hide my blushing face from him but I guess he didn't like that because he lifted my head to with his hand. "Don't hide your cute face from me," he whispered and lowered his head to place his soft lips on mine.
"I love you," we both said at the same time which made us chuckle.
"What do you wanna do today?" he asked as he grabbed a plate to put on the eggs. I sighed. "I don't know,"
I feel bad that Axel stayed with me for the past few days and didn't have much space from my miserable ass. I know he wants to go to work and find a way to finish Sila and Sergio. I heard and saw him a lot on his phone, talking to Enzo and Jordan. He also checked up if Tristen was doing good. He also got many calls at night while we were sleeping. He would sneak out and talk for about an hour and come back to bed.
While he was doing that, I started thinking about a lot of things while I was in bed crying. I thought about the fight that Axel and I had about the French Mafia. Vera said that Sila was scared of the idea of my taking over the Mafia. She said it might help to take him down.
When Axel told me I should take over, I didn't want to but now I started to rethink my decision.
"You don't have to stay with me Axel if you don't want to," Axel placed the plate down and turned around to face me. He then stepped closer to me and cupped my face. "I rather stay with you than go and work. Work can wait for the next few days until you are ready. I will wait," he leaned down and placed a small tender kiss on my forehead.
I think I have to tell him about my decision.
''I actually wanted to talk to you about this whole thing,'' I began walking to the kitchen counter and sat down on one of the stools there.
Axel crooked a brow up while looking at me. Confusion was written all over his face. He walked up to me and sat right in front of me on one of the stools. ''What exactly?'' he asked.
''Remember the fight we had before you left?'' he nodded. ''Well, I had time to think about what you said for the past few days,'' I explained.
''You said if I took over the French Mafia we could finish Sila and Sergio, right?'' I asked to make sure I was right. He nodded again and crossed his arms over his chest.
I sighed. ''I realized that it wasn't my fault that we lost our baby. One of Sila's men took our baby from us and I'm done. I don't want to run around and fear for my life. I want to live my life without looking behind my back to make sure no one is holding up a gun at me. I want a happy life with you and not a life that I'm scared to live,'' I took a deep breath to keep myself from crying like I did for the past few days.
Axel leaned forward and grabbed my hand that was resting on the kitchen counter, smoothly caressing my skin with his thumb. ''I will take over the French Mafia so that we can finally finish this and live a life we are happy,'' Axel's lips twitched up in a smile as he stood up from the stool to pull me into his embrace.
He kissed the top of my head and I wrapped my arms around his naked torso. ''I'm happy that you want to finish this and that you want to live a life you want to live but I also want to make sure that you're okay with this and comfortable too. I don't want you to do something just because you feel pressured to it,'' I instantly shook my head to his worry.
''I don't feel pressured. I'm doing this for me, for you but especially for our baby. They took something from me that made me happy. That made us happy,'' I pulled away and stared up at him with tears in my eyes.
''I just want this to stop, Axel. Please make it stop,'' I slowly let my head fall onto his chest as he smoothed out my hair with his hand.
''Okay, I will make it stop. For you and our baby,''
