Axel waited in his car as he stared at her house from far away. He was trying to muster up the courage to tell her father what had happened to his daughter and he was responsible for all of it.

He wiped his tears and finally stepped out of the car. He walked towards the house but halted in his steps as the door opened. He frowned when he saw an unknown man and woman stepping out of the door.

Axel took a deep breath and approached them. "Isn't it Mr. Jones's house?" He asked

The man frowned. "Yeah, it was but he doesn't live here anymore"

Axel nodded, understanding that he might have moved. "Do you know where he lives now? Where can I find him?"

The couple looked at him from head to toe and then shared a look. "Did he owe you money?" The woman asked

Axel shook his head a little. "No, it's not that, I actually wanted to meet him---"

"Mr. Jones died a few months back" the man informed.

"W-what do you mean?" Axel asked

"He's dead. His daughter ran away from home, she was all he had... It was really sad, his corpse was rotting for a month when his daughter finally found him. It was heart-wrenching"

Axel's eyes widened. "His daughter?" He asked, "Was she here? Is she still here?" He asked mindlessly.

"No, she left with his dead body, and we haven't seen her again," The woman said and took a deep breath. "The poor thing was devastated."

Axel staggered back but controlled himself. He turned and hurriedly got into his car. Once alone, he broke down again and leaned his head against the steering wheel.

"I'm sorry, Chloe... I'm so sorry, baby" he repeated again and again...

Meanwhile...

"Where is he?" Dominic asked

"Where he always is! At her grave!" Charlotte snapped

Vanessa sighed. "I have barely seen him the whole summer"

Dominic squeezed his eyes shut. "He's leaving in a few hours and I'm glad. This will help him move on from her death"

Charlotte shook her head. "Dad, I don't think he can ever move on from her death"

"He will!" Dominic said stubbornly.

"Charlotte, would you go and get him. He won't listen to us" Vanessa said. "Maybe that way he'll spend an hour with me before he leaves for college"

Charlotte took a deep breath. "I don't know if he wants to spend time with us... He hates us..."

Vanessa shook her head. "Hey, come on, Charlie. Your brother doesn't hate us, he loves us"

Charlotte scoffed. "Keep on believing that, mom. I'll go check up on him to see if he is alive or dead, which he soon will be, by the way. With his habits, I doubt he's going to survive for long!"

"Charlotte!" Dominic snapped

"What? I'm just stating the obvious! Even if he stays alive, my brother is long gone anyway!"

Vanessa took a deep breath heartbrokenly. "He'll come back to us soon"

"I hope he does" saying that Charlotte got up and left to see him.

"Chloe" he breathed out mesmerized.

She smiled showing off her perfect set of teeth. "Axel"

"You came back" he whispered

They both laid side by side on the grass. Axel laid straight while Chloe was turned towards him with a hand under her head for balance. Her silky, red hair flowed in the air, and a few strands fell on her face. Axel raised his hand and brushed those tendrils off her face.

"I didn't... I just came to see you" she replied, her voice just as he remembered but it also had an angelic hint to it now.

"I went to see your dad, I'm sorry, Chloe, I'm so sorry..."

She said nothing in return. She just stared at him with a gentle smile.

"I wasn't there for you for anything... When your dad died, when that man killed you" he cried lowly. "I wasn't there for you"

She smiled. "I met our baby," she told him

Axel's eyes widened. "Our baby?"

"Yes, I met our child, Axel"

"You did?" He asked and she nodded. "Can I meet our baby too"

Suddenly the soft smile on Chloe's face fell. "You can't"

"Why not?"

"Because we are dead, Axel and you're not!"

"If I die can I be with you? You and our baby?"

"No..."

"Why, Chloe?" He asked heartbrokenly.

"Because you're gonna go to hell for what you did to us, Axel. You murdered us. You killed us. You killed our child and you killed me!"

"No" he shook his head. "No, Chloe, I'm sorry, please. I wanna be with and our baby, please, Chloe"

"You'll never be with us. Even if you die, Axel. You can never be with me and my child"

"No..." He frantically shook his head and cupped Chloe's face. "Please, I'm so sorry, please. Don't leave me, please"

"Axel? AXEL?!" Charlotte called for the fourth time.

Axel's head whiplashed towards Charlotte and then he frantically looked back at Chloe's grave.

"Who are you talking to?" Charlotte asked startled by his actions. He was talking alone like a maniac.

"No! No! No! No" Axel held his head in his hands. "Why did you come here?! WHY?!" He shouted at Charlotte.

She flinched and stepped back. "I came to---"

"Because of you, she's gone. She was here just a minute ago and then you fucking ruined it! You guys have to ruin everything for me! Can't you all just fuck off?!"

"Axel..." Charlotte's eyes teared up.

Axel turned towards the grave. "Chloe, come back, please!"

Charlotte sat down beside him and put a hand on his shoulder. He was still her brother. No matter what he did, she loved him a lot. She gazed at the headstone and smiled.

"Axel, the gravestone looks beautiful" she mumbled trying to get his attention.

Axel looked at the gravestone for few minutes and then sighed as tears dropped from his eyes. "She wasn't here, was she?"

"No..."

Axel nodded. "Why are you here?"

"You need to be at the airport in two hours. You need to come home and freshen up" she told him. "Maybe, spend some time with me... Only if you want to"

"I'll be there, you can go"

"Aren't you coming with me?"

"No... I said I'll be there..." He heaved a sigh. "Just go, Charlotte"

"Okay..." Charlotte mumbled solemnly and turned to walk out of the cemetery with tears pouring down her face.

Chloe sat on the ground beside her bed, her arms wrapped around her knees. Her hair was dripping wet from the shower. Her skin almost burned from the scratching. Her gums were bleeding from brushing over and over again.

She was breathing heavily, her jaw clenched, she rocked her body back and forth in an unsettling manner. she could still feel Andrew's hand all over her body, she could still feel his manhood inside of her. She could still feel it in her mouth. She could still feel it in her ass... And it was painful... She didn't bleed when she made love with Axel but she bled with Andrew like a virgin.

She remembered how gentle Axel was with her. He'd always touch her like she was made of glass. But now he wasn't here. He left her... He left her here to rot in this world alone.

Her whole body ached, her lower back hurt, her legs hurt. She felt nothing but broken inside.

She could hear Alexa crying on top of her lungs. She glanced towards her daughter and smiled miserably. Her hands were in tiny fists and she continuously kicked her legs in the air. Her little mouth fully opened as she cried.

The door burst open. "God, Chloe, Lexi is crying for an hour now! Fucking do something!" Roxy came into the room and picked Alexa up in her arms. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

Chloe shook her head. "No, I won't touch her!"

Roxy rolled her eyes. "Why the fuck not?! Who's gonna feed her then?!"

"I feel dirty and used. If I touch her then she'll get dirty too!" Chloe shrieked with bloodshot eyes.

"For fuck sake, Chloe! This is your fucking life now better get used to it!"

"Rose!" Chloe shouted

"What?!"

"My name is Rosalie Miller, that's who I am now!"

Roxy pursed her lips annoyedly. "I know you don't want to live like this! Do you think all of us have a fucking choice?! We have no one in this world for us! You should be fucking glad that you have a daughter!" She calmed herself down and softly rocked Alexa. "Do something for her, take her out of this place. Don't let this little angel grow up in a place like this. If you want the best for her, you have to work for it, Chloe." She explained to her. "Most of us have nothing to live for but you do!"

"I'd never let my daughter go through all of this shit!" Chloe said

"Good! Then you have to kill yourself from the inside! From this day on, there is no Chloe Jones, you are Alexa's mother. You are a badass bitch! You are Rose! And you're gonna give your daughter a life that you never got a chance to live. A life that was stolen from you!"

Chloe's chin trembled but she held her tears in. "I still miss him... I still miss my Axel... If he knew what happened to me, he'll get me out of this place. He loves me... I know he does"

"Do you have any way to contact him?" Roxy asked

"I do remember his number but I don't have anything to call him..."

Roxy nodded. "If I get a cellphone somehow then what? Do you think he can get you out of here? It's Andrew Masino, no one really crosses him"

"Do you know about King International Airlines? And they also have other companies or something... I don't really know..." Chloe asked.

"Yeah..."

Chloe contemplated for a while if she should tell her or not. "He's Axel King"

Roxy frowned. "How? They must be like really rich..."

"We went to school together, we fell in love"

"Do you think he still loves you? I mean why would he leave you then?"

Chloe looked at her daughter. "He didn't want Alexa. He said that he doesn't want this piece of shit between us. We got into a fight and then he left with his dad. His dad hated me... I was too poor for them" she shrugged her shoulders.

"So, you're telling me that the baby I'm holding is worth billions?" She joked making Chloe laugh a little. "I think I'm gonna have to kidnap you, little one, and ask your daddy for ransom," she said to Alexa jokingly.

"Axel doesn't want her and his father would never want her or me near Axel... That's why I'm afraid to call him or talk to him... He would never want my daughter, Axel would hate her."

Roxy took a deep breath. "Well, then fuck Axel! If he doesn't want this little angel, he can rot in hell!"

Chloe took Alexa from Roxy and saw her sleeping peacefully. She held her closer and gently laid her back down on the bed.

Roxy stepped towards Chloe and asked. "What did he do? What did Andrew do?" She asked

Terror washed over her, raising the fine hairs on the back of her neck as she remembered everything that happened in his office. Chloe's chin trembled, the tears she had been holding in, came rushing out. "You... You said he isn't a rapist" she cried lowly.

Roxy pulled her in for a hug and caressed the back of her head. "Do you think if I told you the truth it would have made it any better?"

"But if you did, at least I would've known what I was getting myself into" she cried in her shoulder.

"Baby girl, you were pregnant and sick. I didn't have it in me to tell you..." Roxy took a deep breath. "Andrew breaks your soul. There's no way you can win against that man."

"I don't wanna be here..." Chloe cried. "I don't wanna be his Rose"

"I know, sweetie, I know..."

Roxy stood there as Chloe cried over her shoulder. "Use it," she advised

Chloe frowned and pulled away. "Use what?" She asked

"The thing Andrew has for you... You wanna know why Maxim doesn't hurt you for talking back or anything that you do?"

Chloe shook her head a little. "No..."

"It's because Andrew told him to. You have his attention, Chloe. Use it against him. Make him crazy for you... Rule this place. Then leave with your daughter! Do you understand me? Just think about Alexa Jones!"

Chloe nodded and looked down. "I want to do everything you're telling me to but it's easier said than done..."

"You can do it, Chloe, for Alexa!"

"It hurt so bad, Roxy" Chloe cried as she remembered everything Andrew did.

Roxy pulled her in for a hug. "It'll get easier... I promise"
