School was frustrating for Axela but she had no choice, Axela was on the verge of sleeping while she was in class. She has been sleeping late since the first day she came to her company because of work. Axela was so dedicated on planning her big reveal as the daughter of the late King Ivan that she even forgot about the birthday of Gina.
That day Axela was on her way to the Gina and Gorge's house to apologize with her best friend.
Axela quickly rang the bell as she went out of her car. There the house maid opened the door for her.
"Is Gina home?" she asked the maid as she went in. 
"Yes Miss. she's at her room "Axela then went to Gina's room door and knocked.
"Yes?" She was happy to hear the happy voice of her best friend.
Gina was surprised as she saw Axela who was at her door. 
"What are you doing here?" Gina asked in a sarcastic tone. Axela came closer to her and hugged her tight. 
"I'm sorry I was too busy about work but I can assure you I was about to come here I was just late" Axel said. Gina did not say a word so Axela let go of her she looked at Gina with an apologetic look Gina gave of a long sigh because of Axela's expression. 
"Fine. Apology accepted I was not angry though I was just quite disappointed at you. You would never forget about my birthday right?" Gina said.
"Of course I won't. I'll make it up to you "Axel said.
"Really so can I be your coordinator for your birthday then?" Axela was quite dumbfounded because of Gina's request
"I already have a coordinator" Axela said.
"That's fine I'll help" Gina said
"Okay I'll tell Harry about it "Axela said, Gina gave of a gleeful smile.
"I'm super happy" Gina said and hugged Axela.
"Our long lost sweet Axela is slowly coming back" Gina said. It made Axela quite nervous for she was scared to bring back her old self. She was scared that people would take advantage again of her kindness 
Axela was with Gina for the whole afternoon she wanted to make it up to her but Gina said she did not want to go out so they stayed and watched movies 
Gina wanted Axela to stay and sleep there because it has been a long time since they had a sleep over but Axela had to go for she had and appointment to go to
"Promise me. You would let me help with the preparation of your birthday" Gina said while pouting her lips. Axela nodded 
"Don't worry I already texted Harry about it maybe tomorrow he will need your help "Axela said. Because of it Gina's lips roused and gave of a large smile she hugged Axela and bid goodbye
As Axela arrived at the coffee place where she had an appointment with the co-owners of her bar 
"Sorry for being late" Axela said as she arrived at the table where the co-owners were. A man and a woman both warring a semi- casual outfit stood up and greeted Axela.
"It's okay Miss. Vanzola we have just arrived too "The woman who was Miss Jinela said 
All three sat down and started their meeting. Jinela and Kit wanted to expand the bar that Axela own for the bar was one of the biggest investment Axela have she agreed with them but she had a rule only the main branch will cater 18 below branches will have to accept only 18 above costumers 
Axel went home exhausted and tired she throwed herself on to her bed. She looked at her side table there she saw a collage of picture. where she made it herself they did not have a full family picture so she edited a picture of her and her father and added the picture of her mother, sister and her nephew together with her grandparents. 
Axela sat straight and took the picture frame to her lap. While watching the picture she did not notice a tear fell from her eyes Axela could only hug the picture for she felt the pain. 
"I miss you guys so much I wish you were all here, I don't know why I could survive being alone why did you leave me all ?" Axela cried silently. Axela felt the pain she did not want to feel any more. 
No words can describe how Axela felt. She did not know how to get rid of that pain all she could do was cry, cry. And cry but she was so tired of crying that's why she wanted to show who ever made their life a mess see that she was not giving up. 
Axela once thought about killing herself but because she knew that her parents would want her to fight even if it means she has to be alone Axela did what was best. But even though she was still alive Axela felt empty, alone and lonely she felt like a ghost that everyone can see. 
The next morning Axela went to school early for she wanted to catch up with her missed activities and assessments.
Axela was on her way to her next class when she bumped with one of Sky's friends which is Jon.
"Hey have you seen Sky?" Jon asked Axela. Axela shaked her head as a sign of saying no Axela then was about to walk pass him when he called her again.
"Axela are you together with Gorge?" he asked. 
"No, his my friend why did you ask?" Axela asked Jon. 
"A friend of mine asked. Anyways thanks gotta go" Jon said and ran away. He left Axela questioning her mind who asked about her and Gorge. 
After class was done Axela went to the parking lot waiting for Harry to pick her up 
She went through her phone while waiting for Harry when suddenly someone grabbed both her hands there where three men who were also her school mates. 
Axela wanted to break their hands off her but then she realized she was at school so she can't do any stunts that would put her reputation upside down again. 
"Where are you taking me?" Axela kept on whining but none of the men who held her even bothered gave her an answer.
They kept on walking until they arrived at the school field. Axela was confused because she saw a big heart made of rose petals and there were students surrounding the whole field.
The three men brought her to the middle of the heart made of petal roses.
Axela was confused from what is happening. Then suddenly a man figure slowly went close to the middle of the heart made of petal roses Axela was quite shocked to see who was the man who went close was. 
It was Sky. he went in front of her Axela was confused and shock but she did not show any expression on her face Sky gave her a bouquet of flowers then suddenly a sweet music played Axela looked around and saw the school band playing their instruments when she looked back at Sky he was already holding a microphone then he started singing .
Oh girl. I see you walking by. 
I couldn't help it 
Oh damn I'm smiling 
You may not notice it. 
You may not feel it 
But I am so in to you 
Your hair looks perfect 
Your skin is fair 
Your eyes are round and small 
Your nose is long and pointy 
Your lips are sweet and pink as strawberry 
You don't talk to me but girl I know completely 
Oh girl what you done to me. You got me begging on my knees 
The butterflies inside me are starting to go crazy over you....
Over you........Over you ........ My eyes are stuck........ on you ...
My Lovely One.
Axela still put on a blank expression as Sky sang a sweet song to her. People around her giggled in excitement as the song finished Sky suddenly got down on his knees in front of Axela. 
Because of what he suddenly did Axela gulped a huge saliva stuck in the back of her throat.
Axela never expected this type of surprise.
"Axela Vanzola ... will you accept Steven Karter Yeli Lopez the loveless bad boy as your suitor?" Sky said proudly and for the first time ever people saw how Axela's eyes went big because of the unexpected event she could not utter any word and just looked at Sky with shock and confusion 
'Is he serious right now?' Axela asked herself 
Axela's mouth was shut closed, she could not mutter any word. Could not even move a single thing of her body then Sky stood up and grabbed her right and left hands Axela was still in shock but Sky smiled 
As Axela saw his smile only thing that Axela thought was that she saw a spark of electric wave in Sky's eyes as they found her's, Axela then realized. 'He is serious ' 
"I know you won't believe in my words but I want you to know. You can doubt me all you want but believe me when I say I like you that means I like you. Everyone might think she's just one of Steven's new toys she's nothing special but may I remind you all I Steven Karter Yeli Lopez don't court my toys and that make you exceptional and special in my life " as Sky kept on with his confession speech the people in the filed become more crowded and All eyes were on them. Axela felt nervous yet happy no one has ever told her she was special asides her Father and late sister.
Everyone was moved by what Sky said. Some did not like how Sky confessed and somewhere shocked but Britney on the other hand was hurt. Super hurt for she thought Sky was already liking her back. Britney could not bare the pain so she left the scene and decided to go home and lock herself in her room there she let out all the pain she felt she cried and cried until she had no tears to let out. 
Meanwhile Sky just kept on staring at Axela as Axela was trying her best to process what's happening then a voice from the crowd was heard.
"Say yes!" a voice of a man shouted because of that everyone's attention was on where the voice came from then they all shouted.
"Yes" 
"Go Axel" 
"Say yes!" 
Everyone was already saying those words which made Sky smile and Axela more nervous.
"Say yes! Say yes!, Say yes!, Say yes!" they shouted and this time even Sky was shouting while smiling. Sky raised his brows at Axela.
Axela let out a deep sight and slowly nodded at him. Sky was seen surprised his jaw dropped open and after a few seconds he smiled so largely and hugged Axela so tight.
Axela does not know how to fully react but slowly it sank in to Axela's mind. She likes Sky no.
She is falling in love with him, deeply in love and it actually scares Axela. 
AFTER the sweet happenings in the field Axela the next day came. As Axel Arrived to school Sky was there waiting for her, Sky and his friends actually were with them also. On their way to their room one of Sky's friends named Jon suddenly whispered something on to Sky.
"So this is the plan that you mean is it?" Jon whispered so softly making sure not to be heard by Axel. 
Sky gave him a sweet smirk as an answer. Then they continued their way towards their room. 
As soon as Axel sat to her chair. Gorge went up on to her with a furious and frowning face. 
"You actually like him?" Gorge blunt out on to Axela in a low voice. 
Axela just nodded on to him and did not even bother uttering any word. 
"Axela are you really sure about this?" Gorge was so worried with his tone, Axela looked at him emotionless and nodded. 
"Trust me on this one Gorge" Gorge let out a deep sigh as he smiled to her.
"I trust you, but once he hurts you its game over for him" Gorge was so overprotective, he cares for Axela so much and it would pain him if he saw her hurt. Axela just looked in his eyes even if he does not understand what emotion the young lady was giving Gorge just gave another deep sigh, and nodded at her.
THE day went on and as night came Axela received a call from Sky.
"Hello?" Axela answered the call.
"Hey! Where are you now?" Sky asked in an exciting tone.
"Home" Axela simply answered. Sky gone quiet so Axela talked
"Why?" 
"Well, I wanted to invite you on a..... Date" Axela didn't show it but she was surprised with what Sky said.
"Where?" Sky knew Axela agreed so a wide smile appeared on his face across the phone.
"There is a restaurant near our school, I'll pick you up at 5 sharp" 
"Okay"
"See you, bye" Axela can tell Sky was excited with their supposed date.
It was already 4:15 pm, Axela did not rushed to get dressed since it was just a date. She did not ware any makeup yet she wore her favorite jewelry given by her mother and a black long sleeved dress it was not that tight yet it hugged her curves.
A few minutes after she wore her 2 inches black sandals a doorbell is heard.
Axela slowly opened her door revealing a well suited Sky, wearing a Dark blue suite Sky looked more than handsome in Axela's eyes.
"Wow!" Axela could feel her cheeks slightly heat up because of the comment Sky said as he looked at her.
"What?" Axela shyly asked.
"Nothing, it's just that you look different" Sky said, he rubbed his nape as he thought of something else to comment on Axela. 
"Shall we?" Axela nodded.
Sky opened the door of his car for Axela, inside the car the whole ride was quiet you could only hear the slow music of Sky's car speaker. As Sky drove all he could think was why he became speechless as he saw Axela.
He was quite confused to why he was feeling it, he then shrug the thought of it and reminded himself about his plan.
After 15 minutes they finally arrived, Sky opened the door of his car for Axela.
Axela read the name of the Restaurant that they were at.
"Galveston?"
It was a famous restaurant, it had a lot of branches around the world.
"Good evening sir Steven" Axela was quite confused to why the staff of the restaurant knew Sky.
"I have already ordered before we arrive" Sky said, Axela nodded.
"You come here often?" Axela asked.
Sky nodded," Yeah this is one of my favorite restaurants" 
"You bring your side chicks here right?" Axela asked, deep inside Sky grin.
"No, this is my special place I only brought my friends and family here" Axela just nodded and looked around the restaurant had a nice ambiance.
Few minutes later their food arrived, they started eating as they listened to a sweet soft melody of the music given by the restaurant.
As they continued to eat, Sky noticed something. Axela was setting aside spinach on her place.
"You don't like spinach?" Sky asked.
"No, I'm allergic to spinach" Axela answered.
"You should have told me" Sky said.
"It doesn't matter, I can pick it out I can only get a severe allergic reaction when I eat spinach in large quantities" Sky just looked at Axela as she explained. 
"You actually looked innocent as you talked" Axela got silent when she heard Sky.
"I think I just made our dinner awkward" Sky said.
"No it's okay, I'm not just used to people commenting nice things about myself" Axela said.
"Why?" Sky asked.
"I don't like positivity and happiness" it made Sky curios. Axela saw how Sky's forehead formed waves.
"Both don't come to my life often, I rarely get happy and positive" Sky wanted to know more.
"Is that why you are always emotionless?" Axela stayed quiet.
"Emotions are my biggest enemies" 
"Having fun is not a sin Axela" Sky said, Axela let out a short sigh.
"I have no time for fun"
"You're a teen, where does your time go other than school?" Sky asked, Axela did not hesitate to answer him she was so comfortable with Sky at that time.
"Work" that one word made the Sky even confused. Axela looked at his eyes so deep.
"I don't have parents Sky"
"How about Britney's parents aren't you step-sisters?" Sky asked
"Her mother is the second wife of my late father, her new father is the first love of her mother" It shocked Sky.
"Wow, that's unbelievable but aren't you close with your guardians?" Axela continued eating.
"I don't need them, all they want is just money" 
"Is it hard being a daughter of a rich family?" Sky asked
"Shouldn't you know about that too? You're a son of well-known person too right?" Axela asked.
"Well its different I have siblings, how about being alone?"
"I too have a sibling, before" Axela said.
"Where is your sibling now?" Sky asked.
"Gone, forever. My older sister died years ago" Sky was disbelief from what he heard.
"Sorry to hear about that" Sky felt sad.
"Don't be its okay "Axela said.
After their dinner, Sky brought Axela home he even went all the way to the front of her unit.
"Thanks for today" Axela tanked Sky, it made him quite happy.
"No problem, how about next time?" Axela nodded.
"Yes!" Axela couldn't help but smile a little bit from Sky's reaction.
"Uh-mmm" Sky cleared his throat.
"I should get to bed" Axela said, Sky nodded. Axela turned her back and was about to close the door when Sky talked.
"Axela" 
"I had a lot of fun tonight" A wide sweet smile was seen in Sky's face as he said those words, Axela just nodded and then closed the door she leaned back at the door as she held on to her heart.
It was beating so fast. It was not seen but Axela was happy so happy deep inside.
DAYS passed since Sky started courting Axela. That night Sky and his friends went to a bar.
"So how's the plan going on Sky?" Jon asked Sky as he took a sip on his whisky.
Sky leaned in to his seat before answering," Well, I'm at good progress so far" 
"Dude, are you really sure about what you are planning?" Sky can sense Dale concern as he asked.
"Of course and this time I am sure I will crush Gorge once and for all" Sky slightly laughed to his plan.
"How about Britney? Have you made progress with her?" Dale asked.
"Not so far, but this week I'll start getting her attention" Sky answered.
"Dude you've already got Britney's attention" Dale and Jon both laughed, it was true though they can sense Britney is head over heels on Sky.
"But kidding aside dude, I just hope really that you won't end up hurting yourself after breaking Axela" Dale said, Sky laughed awkwardly.
"What? No of course she's just a part of my revenge. I won't fall in" Sky said, deep inside Sky thought if he was really doing the right thing.
Will it not backfire him in the end, just as he started courting Axela and having dates and deep talks with her, his feelings towards Axela somewhat changed it was not just for purpose.
Despite all the thinking Sky was true to his words, it was his last choice in order to get his long revenge to Gorge.
The three continued drinking till dawn what they did not know was that someone accidentally heard about the talk the friends had.
AXELA opened the door of her unit late at night when Gorge messaged her that he was outside.
"Gorge, it's late at night what's the matter?" Axela asked Gorge.
"Axel, Sky is toying you his using you to get revenge on me" Axela can hear how concerned Gorge was.
Axela took a sigh as she turned around and went back in her unit, Gorge followed her in.
She knew Sky was disguising himself to something he wasn't, she sensed it.
"Axel what are you gonna do now, Sky is a bastard he will break your heart sooner or later-"Gorge got confused as to why Axela seemed to did not care about his revelations.
"What I'm gonna do? Nothing basically" His eyes widen to what she said.
"What?"
"Axel have you gone insane? His using you yet you won't do even a single thing?"
"Yeah" the emotionless answer of Axela made Gorge realize something from Axela.
"You've fallen for him have you?"
Axela looked in to his eyes for two seconds before turning back at him and walking straight to her fridge to get a glass of water.
"Crazy right?" Axela broke the silence. She faced Gorge again.
"I know, I'm gonna get hurt in the end, but right now this feeling I have whenever I am with him I want to feel it over and over again" Gorge just looked in the emotionless eyes of Axela.
"Trust me on this, I know the consequences but this feeling I don't know if I would get a chance again to feel it"
"You really have fallen for him" Gorge said.
"Unbelievable right?" 
"Okay I'll let you be, I just want to protect you. You've gone through too much Axel and if this feeling of happiness you found in him can break you again I won't get mad at you. You deserve to be happy even if it would hurt you in the end" Axela hugged Gorge so tight.
"Even if I ever get so hurt, I know you'll always be by my side no matter what happens" 
"You're everything to me, losing you would be the death of me" Gorge smiled as he hugged Axela back.
