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.

“It was Bella. It’s all Bella. She was there that night, she killed those men and tried to take Nathan’s wife as well. Nathan’s wife died because of me,” she cried out, her anguish pouring forth trying to warn 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

remorse.

“How?” he murmured, pulling away slightly to study her features. His eyes roaming all over her.

“I received your note. It was your handwriting and everything. I didn’t want to believe it. Then that man claimed he had disposed of you. I truly thought you were gone,” he admitted softly, brushing her hair from her face.

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

“Axel, wait. Just wait,” she implored, squeezing his hands and cupping his face.

“You asked if I recognized that woman the other time. And I did. She was there that night, she rammed into our car, driving it off a cliff. She killed people. You have to get her right now. That’s why she tried to kill me…” she said anxiously.

“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.

“You don’t understand, Jasmine,” he told her, brushing it off. It was personal; the man was practically behind all of the misfortunes that had befallen them recently.
