Masuk~Dahila~ (Three years later.) "Mummy, Mummy! We've got a surprise for Daddy!" Hannah, my energetic three-year-old, exclaimed, waving a giant lollipop in my face. Her twin brother, Huxley, was hot on her heels, also clutching a colorful lollipop. I could tell by the mischievous grins on their fac
~Axel~ Overwhelmed, I stumbled out of the hospital into the night air, my hands shaking, my heart racing, and my mind reeling with worry. The cold wind buffeted me, but I hardly felt it, my thoughts consumed by Dahlia's plight. Self-blame and helplessness washed over me like a wave, leaving me fe
~Damian~ I've been taking care of Dahlia for two weeks now, despite her constant tantrums. Ironically, she's been supportive in her own way, eating and drinking enough to sustain her energy for daily door-banging and screaming sessions. As I waited for her food, my phone rang, and I saw Kade's na
Damian lingered, trying to persuade me to eat, but I remained silent, unresponsive. Eventually, he surrendered, scooping me up in his arms and placing me on the bed. He covered me with the duvet, his sigh heavy with concern. As he left the room, the lock clicked into place, a vivid reminder of m

~DAHLIA~ I stood there in silence and Kade told me about all the bad things Axel has done. I knew about the killings and the raping of women but the way Kade said everything with so much detail made my skin crawl. I turned to Axel and he still wasn't saying anything nor giving anything out with hi
~DAHLIA~ I groaned slightly as I opened my eyes but was met with darkness. I tried moving around then froze when I realized I was bound to a chair with chains. They weren't silver though so that was a relief. “Help!" I yelled as loud as I found while I struggled to free myself. I winced slightly
~AXEL~ I stared into Dahlia's face for any kind of judgment or disgust but she just stared at me with love. “I had a feeling that was the case" She murmured and my eyes widened slightly. “Really?" I asked and she nodded. “And I'm glad you did, they deserved it for making your childhood so horrib
~DAHLIA~ Just like I had expected, Damian was pissed off when I came down for breakfast with Axel. “How the fuck were you able to get in through the gates without my guards knowing?"
