Nerfed battle
AXEL.The only thing I had always been good at was hiding my emotions, but Asher had always found it easy to get me riled up, like right now, as he stared at Evangeline after his last sentence.Of course, he liked someone. It was so obvious from the way he looked at her. I've had the thought in my head since the day he realized she worked as Esther's nanny. The shock on his face had been so profound that it gave everything away. I clenched my fist, and my eyebrow furrowed as I leaned forward with a forced smile on my face. "Finally getting out of your shell, huh?"He laughed wryly. "Something like that, change is good sometimes." He was still looking at Evangeline with those womanly eyes of his. His gaze was so warm that I could feel the threat in his words. Of all people, why her? Evangeline and I just began our game.How could she not see that she was the one being talked about?"I mean…." She shrugged, "That's a good thing, but would that be okay though? I've read about things like

Hiking
EVANGELINE.How excited does one get over a date that even hindered one's sleep? My guess— extremely. Extremely and illogically excited. According to my three-date idea, Axel had suggested we meet today, but the location was unknown— for now, all he said was to be versatile with my outfit.A normal person would ask, right? A simple "Where are we headed?" would suffice, but not me. I'd been seated at the front of the mirror for the past thirty minutes, doing and undoing as many hairstyles as I could, but still, I didn't feel close to the best one.It was a sunny day and a lovely day to be out. I was bubbling with excitement and almost found myself throwing my legs. I hummed songs subconsciously as I tried to look my best. Harper wasn't home to help me get my look intact, but I could do a great job— right?Clad in a jean skirt, and crop top with jackets and boots to match, my hair was styled into a ponytail, and I made the makeup look as natural as possible. I stood in front of the mi

Date, Date
ASHER.I sucked my teeth and walked in. My mother had asked me to come over for something 'very important', and even though I knew it was most likely not the case, I still couldn't turn down her offer.It's been a while since I'd been here, and I'd always tried to avoid visiting them at home. Even after all these while, it still made me nervous to the bones. So much for having parents. I had about four free hours, and I despised having to spend them here.My initial plan was to visit AULA. Screw that, my initial plan was to visit Evangeline. I didn't know why I felt so, but the need to stay on standby just stuck with me— like I already knew Axel would hurt her. It was the only thing he knew how to do: destroying things.I was in the White's Manor already, and I walked down the large corridor decorated with different certifications and planned family portraits. An outsider would think, 'What a beautiful family they are.' They'd be surprised. I arrived at the main gate that led to the l

Date two
AXEL.My eyes have been fixed on the entrance since Evangeline, and I walked in here. I tried not to make her notice that I was too distracted, waiting for my plans to pan out."So, a cozy restaurant…" Evangeline said as I drew her chair out, and she sat. I had purposely picked a chair with four seats.It was another warm day, and I was excited to see everything turn out the way I wanted it to. I took my seat and smiled at Evangeline, who was now perusing the menu. "Right? I checked, and this is the most common kind of date. I think ladies like this a lot."A gasp slipped through her red lips. She was looking extra breathtaking today with her dark eye makeup and her hair packed up. Evangeline looked no different than a model, and I loved that look on her. I found my eyes falling to her lips every time she said something. Thanks to Harper, she was looking more of a ten today.Not that she hadn't always been. "These prices are ridiculous, babe!" Her voice was strained, and she coughed i

Drifting
AXELMercury squirmed in her seat, obviously taken aback by Evangeline's comment, and then couldn't help but smile every time I looked at Eva. How could one be so complete?"So since we're all here, it's like a double date, right?" Asher broke through the silence, stating the obvious. Of course, it was a double date. I tried not to roll my eyes. He reached for the menu; the one Evangeline had when he could have easily picked the one close to Mercury.I was fuming on the inside, vexed by his insensitiveness, and I hated how he sat closer to Evangeline while I was opposite her. "I've been eyeing the prawns, but it seemed too large for one person. Hell, it's enough for three. Do you like prawns, Asher?" Evangeline asked him.She didn't ask me, probably because I had already told her that I hated seafood on that cruise ship, but still, I'd eat prawn for her. Asher was now smiling proudly with his hands in his hair, and half his body was facing Evangeline, like the fact that Mercury was r

Rejection
EVANGELINE.I sunk into his arms and wrapped my hands tighter around his waist. I loved it when I was this close to him, feeling his bare body on mine. I was happy to be with Axel like this.My bed smelled like sex and sweat, but I didn't mind; there was also a smell of him that drove me crazy. I snuggled closer to him, trying to get impossibly closer. Axel smiled and kissed my face as he brushed my hair away from my face. I wanted to be like this with him every time.My pussy still throbbed with want from him, and my nerves were weak— pulsating slowly. I didn't think I could move my thighs either. We've gone three times already, and every single time was as good. He fucked good, hard.The thought of it caused blood to rush to my face, and I could feel my cheeks burn. Axel noticed this, too, and he planted another kiss on my face. This time, my forehead. "I've…never done this before," he said in a low tone."What?" I shifted, placing my jaw on his chest and staring at him through my e

Break down
EVANGELINE.It's been two weeks since Axel had rejected me, and it weighed on my mind more than it should— more than I thought it would. I sat before the computer while my brain went blank, again. It's been happening these past few days.I zoned out a lot, my mind drifted to the memories of us in that short period, and I felt the bile rise in my throat again. Work had been more hectic, and waking up always seemed like a chore. I didn't know what else to do, or why I let him get to me this bad.I picked up my phone for the umpteenth time today, even though I told myself I wasn't interested in him, that I was over him. Even though I told myself that what we had was just a fling, I found myself looking forward to a message from him— one that wasn't him telling me to quit my job at the Whites.I'd read that particular message over and over. 'DON'T BOTHER COMING TO WORK ANYMORE, AND I'LL WIRE YOUR PAY AND FIND ESTHER A NEW NANNY.'That was all the message read, and he sent it on the night

Shock
EVANGELINE.I froze and sat up as my heart pounded in my chest. I didn't remember how I'd gotten involved with Asher. It was terrifying. Asher moved closer, a friendly smile on his face as he sat next to me. Registering my surroundings, I squinted. My sight was still affected by the blinding lights. I was in the hospital. After all, the voice in my head couldn't help but repeat it countless times. "H-how…""Hey, hey, take it easy," Asher pacified as I tried to detach the drip string on my hand. It was so uncomfortable having him see me like this. No one had ever seen me like this, not even my own parents.I ran my hands through my hair in a vain attempt to pat it down. I could feel it tangled and disheveled already. Why did everything suck so much? There was still a bitter lump in my throat, and it taunted me. Help."How do you feel now?" He asked gently. "The doctor would be back with some of the test results…" Asher paused, waiting for his words to sink into my skin as he spoke. My

More hurt
EVANGELINE.It took me blinking back tears in the cab and a full-blown identity crisis to get to the mansion, and now that I stood in front of it, every strength had slipped through my finger.I didn't know what to say or do— I'd been stripped of everything. The ache in my chest refused to go away, and it tightened. I didn't feel like I could breathe or do anything more. I was crashing. The tears had already begun to free flow. A child in this situation? A fatherless child?What was I thinking!? The voices in my head were going wild with thoughts, even unsolicited ones. How did I let myself go that way? I remember that I missed my morning pills after we broke up. Why the fuck would I do that to myself?My world was crashing down at so much level, and the weight of melancholy dawned on my shoulders. My steps were heavy and stalled as I walked in mindlessly. I was allowed in since I'd worked there. The security must have thought I still do.Despite the acute headache and dizziness that

Dilemma
ASHER.There was a kind of silence that haunted us both, and I couldn't bring myself to look into Evangeline's heart while that much guilt gnawed at my chest. I should have done something to protect her from him.It wasn't like I didn't know that this was going to happen. Axel was never going to be able to maintain anything good, especially not Evangeline. She was way too good, perfect even for him. And now this issue about her being pregnant.It happened so fast, that I didn't know how to process it either. None of what happened would I blame her for, ever. These things happened, and whatever she wanted to do was her decision. I just knew I would stand by her side through it all, and I couldn't care what happened to anyone else.Evangeline didn't deserve any of this. As she rested her head on my chest and cried, I felt my chest tighten and anger build inside of me. There was a foul arousal of negative emotions tipping over in my head, and every one of them was directed to Axel. He ju
