"Hello to both of you too." Olivia commented as Axel and I stormed inside her house.

"Hi." I grumbled shortly at her while Axel continued on ignoring her and walked to the living room.

"Did something happen?" She questioned amazed at how we acted

"I am not talking to him anymore. He forcefully grabbed my hand giving me another bruise. Then for the rest of the day continued to act like a lunatic. He yells at me for no reason and he insulted Adam endlessly." I shouted making sure that Axel will hear it all.

"Adam, as in your Adam?" Mitchell joined the conversation and I nodded at him feeling a bit shy

"She was acting like a brat for the whole day and I don't trust her so called Adam." Axel yelled back 

"You are not asked to trust him, you idiot." I fired at him and walked to living room followed by my in laws.

"Didn't you ask Adam to stay away from you? Didn't you rudely shut all his messages and calls?" Mitchell asked ignoring my current fight with Axel

"I did because I felt like I will be using him. Giving him the title of a secret boyfriend is not right not for him and not for my morals. I didn't plan on meeting him today, but fate had its ways. He didn't even get all angry and yell at me for cutting him off. He was just his playful old self again. It is like we never been apart." I explained to Mitchell 

"It is like we never been apart." Axel mocked repeating my same words and mimicking tone.

"Stop acting like a child." Mitchell fired at Axel surprising us all. When did Mitchell grow up? He is the one usually told to stay still and keep it down. 

"I am going out." Axel said

"You are not. Not until you apologize for Sophia." Olivia ordered 

"That's between me and her. I will apologize when I want." he meanly replied as he stood up. While walking out, he threw Mitchell and me a death glare.

"Ignore him. So tell me what happened with Mr. Black." Mitchell advised and went back to his old playful self.

" Nothing much. He just hugged me and kept on calling me Sophie. Then your stupid bother acted like a caveman and dragged me away." I explained 

"Axel is definitely considering my advice." Mitchell commented and a smirk made its way to his face.

"What advice?" I asked knowing that Mitchell's plans can only be either stupid or stupid 

"Did I say that out loud?" Mitchell looked tensed as a deer caught in headlights

"Yup now explain." I ordered 

"It is merely nothing I promise." Mitchell tried to avoid me but I knew now that he said something to Axel.

"Mitchell Eli Williams what did you tell Axel to make him go all caveman?" I questioned angrily this time

"I told him to really look at you, to try to know the real you, to join our movie nights." Mitchell announced after moments of silence.

"Why would you do that?" I Shockley and angrily yelled at Mitchell

"Because he is blinded and needs to see the gem that you are." Mitchell explained 

"I am no gem. He has a girlfriend and did I ever tell you to say so to him?" I asked with clear venom 

"You are and his girlfriend will one day dig his grave." Mitchell defended

"Now he hates me more because you are pressuring him into considering me." I huffed tiredly

"He won't." Mitchell promised

"I am tired of this life. My dad died and I couldn't but honor his word. I feared that all his hard work will go to waste. I feared that the companies of our dads will fall in the wrong hands and that's why I accepted to marry your brother. I had no real outcome of all of this. I just wanted my peace of mind and when the contract said seven years of marriage I threw it away saying that they will pass. Now I have to give birth to an unwanted kid. I missed that clause. Add to that a husband suffering from mood swings...how bad can my life get?" I huffed 

"It will get better, I promise." Mitchell promise and I couldn't but hope.

Deciding to stay away from people for the rest of the day, I stayed enclosed in Axel's room. I mean I had good WIFI, my phone, my laptop and a mini fridge. So why should I leave and contact the outside annoying world? Mitchell tried to make bargains with me; for example if I go out he will buy me ice cream, or will give me his new car keys to take it for a ride, or a movie night of my choice but I can do all of that alone in this room. Well except the car because I had ice cream in the fridge and thanks to the internet I can watch whatever I want.

"Sophia open the freaking door." Axel's voice filled the silent room and it surly made me jump out of the nice dream that I was having. Looking at my left and ignoring my husband's endless knocks, I searched for the clock and it was still very early. It was only eleven at night. I must have slept while re-watching my favorite old series "One Tree Hill".

Grabbing the warm blanket and wrapping it around me like a cape, I stood and walked to the door. I took my sweet time to reach the door, turn the knob and then slowly open it. I was expecting Axel to be standing rigid with a red angry face but he wasn't...His figure was rigidly standing yet his eyes looked watery as if he was nearly crying..? Did he fight with Liza or something? Did something happen to him? I don't know if my eyes mirrored concern or what but all I could say is that Axel just threw himself at me. He hugged me for dear life and I froze as his hand reached under the blanket and held me closer.

"What's wrong?" I managed to murmur at him but had no will to push him away. He just looked too fragile for the very first time in two years.

"Liza..." he replied as his hug became tighter 

"What happened to her is she okay?" I asked feeling bad for him.

"She is cheating on me..." Axel answered and hid his head in the crook of my neck and I couldn't but pat his back and stand still till he was ready to let me go.
