Chapter 134

Axel’s footsteps echoed through the silent warehouse as he returned, fueled by a mixture of determination and dread. Gabriel, bound to the chair, squirmed nervously.

Axel’s piercing gaze scrutinized the man before him, searching for any flicker of guilt or hidden knowledge.”I’ve told you everything!” Gabriel yelled, desperation evident in his voice. Axel’s instincts, however, whispered otherwise.

Determined to unearth any possible clues.

Using his flash light, he searched through the car. As minutes stretched, search, Axel found himself surrounded by nothing outstanding, just dirt. Just as he was about to abandon the fruitless endeavor, a glimmering object on the car floor seized his attention.

His whole body became rigid when he recognized it. Jasmine’s bracelet, the very first they had met. He had discarded it and dug through the trash for this very one. When he returned it, she clutched it like it was her lifeline. The old jewelry still had his chain wrapped around it. He would see her stroke it lovingly several times.

“Jasmine,” Axel whispered, holding the bracelet close to his chest, an unsettling shudder coursing through him. How did Jasmine’s possession end up in this car? Determined to find answers, Axel returned to the warehouse, the door slamming open with a resounding bang.

Gabriel, still restrained in the chair, bellowed defensively, “What do you want from me? I already told you everything!”

“Where is Jasmine?” Axel demanded, his tone sharp and piercing.

“What? Who? I don’t know who that is,” Gabriel stammered, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as his heart rate quickened.

“You took her!” Axel’s accusation thundered through the warehouse as he forcefully rammed into the chair holding Gabriel.

“Wait!” Gabriel pleaded, bracing himself for an impact that never came. The sudden sensation of liquid dousing over him left him reeling. Axel, unfazed, calmly emptied a gallon of gasoline, the acrid smell making Gabriel’s fear nearly uncontrollable.

“Gasoline,” Axel declared, stepping back, a lighter in hand. The room teetered on the edge of a fiery revelation. “Wait! Wait!” Gabriel cried in desperation. “It was Bella! It was all Bella!” He erupted into a frenzied confession. “The girl had something on Bella, and she wanted her gone. Bella instructed me to get rid of her. Please! I was only following instructions.”

Axel’s eyes bore into Gabriel, torn between the urge for vengeance and the need for

answers.

“What did you do to her?” he demanded, grappling with the storm of emotions within him. “Where is she?” The intensity of Axel’s yell reverberated through the space.

“I…I drugged her and threw her over the main bridge. I watched her sink to death,” Gabriel admitted, his own revelation casting a grim shadow over his own fate.

“She’s dead?” Axel whispered, his senses momentarily numbed. As reality crashed back,. Axel stag gered back, chest tightening, each breath becoming a struggle.

“I shouldn’t have left her that night,” he cried, the weight of guilt and sorrow settling on his shoulders. “I should have stayed. You killed her?!” Axel’s voice dropped to a pained whisper, his anguish etched on his contorted face.

“Bella,” he groaned, cursing the source of their torment. Ethan should have ended her, he thought, fuming with frustration.

With measured steps, Axel exited the room, leaving Gabriel behind. As the door swung shut, Axel tossed the lighter backward.

“No, wait!” Gabriel’s desperate cries echoed into the emptiness. “Wait!” His pleadings escalated into a cacophony of agonized screams as flames engulfed him completely.

“Where are Bella and Ethan?” Axel demanded the moment he stormed back into the villa.

“They left a while ago. Sir was in a fit of rage, and he took her. I fear he might kill her,” Anna anxiously reported.

“Where did they go?” Axel inquired, urgency etched on his face.

With swift determination, Axel raced towards the location, knowing all too well where the confrontation might unfold. Thoughts of ending Bella’s life consumed him, and he hoped Ethan hadn’t acted on that impulse yet. A slow, agonizing demise seemed fitting for someone as malevolent as she turned out to be.

As he approached the building, just before emerging from the car, Axel spotted Bella and an unidentified man exiting. The man was supporting Bella’s weakened form. Ethan was conspicuously absent, adding an air of mystery to the scene. This was the woman responsible for Jasmine’s death, and Axel’s hands tightened on the steering wheel as he patiently waited for the opportune moment. The two figures were heading towards a parked car.

Fueled by a surge of anger, Axel drove forward with remarkable speed, catching them off guard. With his headlights off, he blended into the darkness, a hidden force ready to
