Chapter 128
Bella, feeling hopeful and excited, headed to the clinic for a test that morning.
“I’m sorry, ma’am, you’re not pregnant,” the female doctor broke the news to her.
Bella could feel the frown on her face deepen. She walked slowly to her car. Ethan was slipping through her fingers fast! No matter how she tried, she couldn’t get pregnant for Ethan. She felt agitated.
If she had kids, maybe she could get Ethan’s emotions back. So, even after she got rid of Hazel’s brats, Ethan wouldn’t have to miss them so much. He would have her kids as
well.
She heads home and just lies on her bed, too upset to go to work. Her phone vibrated, her hidden phone. She thought of ignoring it absolutely not in the mood for her brother or Gabriel’s antics.
“What is it?” She snapped
“I strictly told you not to contact me, didn’t I?!” She yelled.
“Ethan’s onto you, Naomi,” is all the person says, then hangs up.
She stood immediately, pacing around. If Ethan suspects her, it’s something she narrowly escaped from the other time. She bites her lips anxiously. She couldn’t face Ethan’s confrontation right now. She didn’t know what he knows.
And he was being so cold and withdrawn now.
“If only I was pregnant, he wouldn’t treat me this way.” She whined to herself.
Ethan badly wanted kids. He has mentioned it several times to her, that was before everything started falling apart in their relationship. It was also how she was able to keep him tightened on her leech after her first ‘Miscarriage.’
Then a light bulb goes off. She wasn’t, but Ethan didn’t have to know.
Ethan walked in moments later, she could feel him watching her, his gaze hard on her. She musters a smile, turning to him.
“Ethan, I’m pregnant.” She says catching him completely off guard. Keep going, she mutters to herself. She could always fake another miscarriage.
She watched as his face and features falter.

Chapter 128
Ethan froze at the mention of the last incident. Frustration mounting, he punched the wall in anger.
“Black Axe,” he muttered forcing himself to calm down. She had to know something about it.
“What do you know about Black Axe?” he calmly asked her.
Bella looked up at him, her reaction intense.
“What’s this reaction?!” Ethan thundered. “Enough!” Axel yelled, entering and grabbing Ethan away from Bella. “You shouldn’t be hurting a pregnant woman,” he muttered. Ethan shot him a look.
“I know, I’ve been here for a while now,” Axel said calmly.
“Black Axe, you have some connection don’t you!” Ethan asked turning his attention back to her.
“That’s enough for now “Axel said calmly.
Bella stood up immediately. “Whatever you think you Know, it’s not true and you’ll be sorry.” Bella fumed then walked away. She didn’t like Axel but she felt grateful to him for now
“Black Axe has some dreadful history. Bella might actually have been a victim,” Axel mumbled thoughtfully.
“What are you talking about?” Ethan asked with a frown. “I looked into Black Axe; the stories are dreadful. The girls there went through a lot. They were practically abused, Ethan,” Axel explained. Ethan’s frown deepened. “I don’t know yet for sure but Bella might have something to do with that.”
The two sat there quietly for long minutes. “I need to go somewhere,” Axel said suddenly, grabbing his things to leave. “I think it’s best you avoid Bella for now, until we know for sure, and I’m pretty sure you don’t want a repeat of what happened before,” he warned, reminding Ethan of the accident Bella had the first time.
Ethan sighed deeply. “Okay.”
Axel drove with a fixed destination in mind, his thoughts and head all over the place.
“Jasmine,” he mused thoughtfully. When she saw Bella the other time at the mall, she had reacted in a weird and frightened manner. She visibly paled. He needed to see her first and ask her some things.

Chapter 128
He drove through the familiar streets that once housed his home. This apartment, he stepped out with a deep sigh. This was the place where he had felt real and true happiness in a very long time. From looking up, the lights of her apartment were turned off, but he was sure she was in. She had to be in. He felt guilty returning back here in this manner, after the way he ditched her the other time. He’d hurt her.
He stepped into the elevator, lingered at the front of her doorstep for a while before finally pressing the doorbell. “Jasmine!” He yelled, banging on the door. “That lady, I don’t think she’s in. I haven’t seen her out in almost a month now,” someone came out and informed him when the noise became too much.
Jasmine was in. She was hiding under her bed. The nightmares had started again, only this time they were realer. She sat there on the floor, sobbing.
Axel, growing more anxious, continued his fervent attempts to reach Jasmine. “Jasmine!” he yelled, the intensity of his voice seeping through the door. In the shadows, she heard him, whispering her name like a lifeline.”Axel?” she whispered back, her voice a fragile echo. Slowly, she approached the door, a mixture of trepidation and curiosity in her eyes. After what felt like an eternity, the door creaked open.
The sight that met Axel’s eyes left him breathless. “Jasmine,” he uttered softly.
Jasmine stood there, her gaze averted, unable to meet Axel’s eyes. Her frail form spoke volumes – she was skinny, too skinny and hollow-eyed. It was clear she was struggling. Her lips were parched, fear etched across her face, she seemed like a mere semblance of the girl Axel had once known.
“Axel,” she whispered, her voice laden with tears. “It’s really you,” she murmured, a fragile smile attempting to breach the desolation etched on her face. Axel’s heart clenched at the sight – he shouldn’t have left her.
“How have you been?” he inquired, concern furrowing his brow as she averted her gaze. “Jasmine?” he pressed, attempting to bridge the emotional chasm. When he moved to touch her, she flinched, stepping back with an alarmed expression
“You remembered?” Axel questioned, sensing the deep scars etched into her memory.
“Why are you here, Axel?” Jasmine’s voice, though trying to sound brave, betrayed a hidden anguish.
“Jasmine, can we talk?” Axel implored gently, a surge of protective instinct coursing through him. She had lost the innocence and clumsiness he once knew, replaced by weariness and despair.

“My name is Christine,” she stated slowly, tears streaming down her face. Axel sighed.
“The man from the other time was right; it wasn’t an ordinary stalker. I belonged to him,” she confessed, her words carrying a haunting weight.
“No! You don’t, Jasmine.” Axel protested vehemently, vividly recalling the unsettling conversations he had had with that man.
