Axel descended the stairs and was greeted by a familiar silhouette waiting for him. He halted, his eyes widening in disbelief, blinking repeatedly. The dark, wavy hair, the slender frame–it couldn’t be. With hesitant steps, his heart raced, and he approached cautiously.

“Jasmine,” Axel whispered, his voice tinged with shock as he confronted the unexpected sight.

She turned to meet his gaze, and his lips parted, unable to comprehend the reality before him.

“Jasmine?” He repeated, his voice h oa rse, dropping the items in his hands in astonishment.

A smile graced her lips, tears welling in her eyes as she rushed towards him.

Axel enveloped her in his embrace, still grappling with the surreal notion of her being alive.

“I thought I lost you forever. I’m so sorry. I’m sorry I left that night, Jasmine. I’m sorry for what you had to endure,” he whispered, holding her close, his heart heavy with

“But it’s really you,” he whispered, disbelief etched across his features.

“It’s okay, it’s fine now. I got rid of them,” he told her gently and firmly.

“Wait, you did?” she questioned.

“We already caught her. She was working with someone who was trying to hurt Ethan’s kids.”

“Derrick,” Axel spat.

“Axel, wait. He saved me,” she explained to him.
