Axelia Moore

Axelia and the New Plan

Atlas Dortmund was as everyone knew, the most popular guy there could be. He became popular, not only because of his looks but rather because of the power that his name and himself provided. Even though he is popular, he was the lone wolf, he knew not to get close to anyone, that being a weakness in the world in which he lived, but for the very first time, he had to get close, and also for the very first time, he didn't mind.

Once he stepped a foot inside the school, all whispers seized as he walked through the hallway. His face was determined, just as the goal, he had set in his mind. Axelia Moore. His father had asked him to make her fall in love with him, but before complying, he had to complete his own agenda; solve an enigma, so beautiful as the girl that stood in front of him.

"Axelia," Atlas spoke, causing the girl to face him. "Good Morning," Axelia gave him a small nod. "I have a proposition."

"Good Morning," Axelia smiled, a small plan formulating on her mind. "I'm listening."

Atlas moved his view towards Amanda, the girl that was standing next to her. Axelia blinked once, authorizing him to speak, she wasn't considered a threat. "I would like for you to join me today for lunch." Axelia raised an eyebrow.

"I'll take it under consideration," Axelia replied and turned around.

"Courtyard," Atlas spoke as he saw her walk away. "The same table in which we spoke."

Axelia stopped as he heard him, but deciding to make it more interesting, kept on walking, even when Amanda was trying to gather her attention. It seemed that Atlas Dortmund had the same agenda as she had. She had now to wonder if completing the agenda was something she wanted.

Growing up, she understood that falling in love was a weakness that could be exploited, and ruin everything that her father had built. She was also aware, that when she was adopted, a weakness had appeared, and yet, no failure had occurred.

Reading had been the escape she needed, given that she was never truly free, and it was only on those moments of words that she could escape, she had dreamt of falling in love, marrying the one person she truly wants, not marrying someone for convenience. Although, she knew very well that both could occur. Which one was it going to be? Convenience, love or both?

"He has never done that!" Squealed Amanda, as she tried to contain her delight. "Why didn't you agree?"

"The first rule," Axelia smirked as she turned to face the girl. "You never say yes at the first try." She added with a whisper, before entering her classroom.

Raphael stared at the documents that laid on his desk. He was very aware that for "legal" issues, everything had to go on paper. He lifted his view, only to stare into Ivan Dortmund and his men. Raphael extended his right hand over to Erik, asking for his pen so that he could sign the document.

"Nothing has changed Raphael," Ivan spoke. "Our children are off-limits, and you know it."

Raphael nodded. "I am aware," He replied. "When I sign this, it is official, we are together,"

"Yet," Ivan smirked. "Our competitors won't know about it." Raphael nodded. "Oh, the power we'll have."

"Get the glasses," Raphael smirked to Lucas. "We are going to celebrate this new era."

Axelia stared at the kid that was waiting for her at the courtyard. She knew the demand her father gave her, but did she really want it? Taking in a deep breath, she walked over to the courtyard, and deciding to play a little game, she strolled past where Atlas was sitting, taking a seat three tables down.

Atlas saw the girl walk past him. She was playing a dangerous game, but he was more than sure that danger followed her wherever she went. He was also used to danger, he thrives it, he looked for it, he wanted it.

Smirking, he got up from the table he was sitting at, grabbing the food he had, he walked over towards the table in which Axelia was sitting down, with a book on her hand. He placed the tray on the table, before sitting himself. He stared that girl in front of him, he saw her eyes shifting to stare at him for a second, before lowering down back to her book.

"I would have thought," Axelia started as she closed her book. "That you understood my answer."

Atlas chuckled. "I understood perfectly," Axelia raised an eyebrow. "I simply decided to ignore it." Axelia nodded. "You need to understand something Axelia," Atlas spoke low and clear. "I never take a no for an answer."

Axelia smirked, placing both her hands on the table, inching forward. "You should understand," Axelia whispered. "That I, do as I please." And with that, she stood up from the table walking away.
