Cassia's POV
The drive to his place was full of silence. He was concentrating on driving while I on the other hand was looking outside. It's getting dark and the night was getting chilly. I rubbed my arms when I felt cold. His convertible car was open. My peripheral vision caught him stared at me. When the car stopped in front of the red light, he pushed a button and to my surprise, the car started closing, covering the top part.
"Thanks" I mumbled. He started driving again when the stop light turned green.
"You get cold easily huh. I never knew about that" He said while smiling. I gasped inwardly when I noticed that he was smiling genuinely. Not the smug face he had when he smirks at me. He suddenly looked younger and handsomer to my sight.
"Do you like what you see?" He asked with his usual smirk and that made me rolled my eyes at him. No! He's not handsome at all! He is a devil! I heard him chuckle of my reaction and then I felt the car stopped.
"We're here" He said and went out of the car.
Before I could open the door myself, he opened the car for me like a gentleman. I thanked him again even if I didn't want to because I don't want him to think that I don't have any manners. My mother always tells me to say 'thank you' when people do you a favor. When i got out of the car, I saw a tall building in front of us. I looked at him questioning but he wasn't paying attention to me. Instead, he opened that car trunk and got my things out.
"Where are we?" I asked him curiously but my voice sounded flat, like I wasn't interested on knowing about it. He chuckled at me and locked the car.
"This is building owned by my family. It's a condominium building and only the rich gets to live here. I live in the penthouse though" he said and then started walking inside the building. The two guards greeted us but gave me a curious look.
We went inside the elevator and was about to close it when a beautiful girl with a long black hair called us to hold the elevator. When she got inside, he suddenly kissed Axel on his cheeks that made my eyes widened.
"Oh my God! I missed you Axel! Do you want to join me with dinner tonight?" She said seductively.
She was wearing a skimpy blue dress and high heels. She looked so beautiful but for some reason, I don't like her. I felt irritated at her for some unknown reason. She even wrapped her hands around Axel's neck. She didn't even bother to look at me.
"Stop it Nerissa. I am with someone" He said in a light tone which surprised me. I thought he was going to yell at her because he looked irritated but he didn't. I scowled at him as I felt a feeling I didn't expect to feel seeing them together. I sighed in irritation.
"Who is she?" Nerissa asked finally and unwrapped her arms around him. She was staring at me like I was a pest and I didn't like it. I was about to speak when he answered her.
"She is my girlfriend" He said and I gasped in surprise. I scowled at him but he just smirked.
"Really?" Nerissa said and inspected me from head to toe. Her actions infuriates me. I didn't like the way she stares at me.
"Why do you look at me like that?" I asked at her directly. I never was the type of a girl who just stands in one corner and do nothing.
When I feel pissed, I always voice my thoughts out. She looked taken a back for a second before she smirked and answered.
"Nothing. I am just curious of the girl who captured Axel. I was expecting to see someone worth competing but I guess I shouldn't be worried" She said confidently and got out of the elevator when she reached her floor. I gritted my teeth and hold pushed the hold button.
"What do you mean by that? I am not competing to anybody and if you want him, just take him. I don't care!" I spat at her. She looked surprise but didn't say anything. I pushed the close button and the elevator started moving up again. I looked at Axel and he didn't look happy. I couldn't care less.
When we reach the top floor, he tugged on my hand and pulled me inside his suite. I felt nervous all of a sudden. By the looks of it, we were alone in the suite and he looked angry at me. He threw my things on the couch and pulled me again to somewhere.
"Get your hands off me! You're hurting me!" I hissed but he didn't let go. Instead, his grip became tighter. My arm looked reddish now and no doubt it'll get bruised. He opened a door and before I could ask him whose room was it, he pushed me on the bed.
I tried getting up but he caged me with his both arms on either side of me. I saw his eyes blazing with anger. I gulped nervously and tried to push him away from me but it felt like I was pushing a wall. My breath caught in my lungs because of how close he was to me.
His lips were almost touching mine.
"G-get off me!" I managed to say. I meant to yell at him but my voice came in a whisper. He was breathing raggedly. I didn't understand why he looked so angry at me. My eyes widened when he lowered his head and the next thing I knew, our lips were touching. He was kissing me passionately but my lips remained immobile and closed.
"Don't----" I tried to stop him but he just deepen the kiss. I tried turning my head to my side to evade his searing kiss but he cupped my face to avoid me from moving my head away. He kissed me with full of anger and his furious look made me shivered with fear. My eyes watered and I couldn't control my emotions anymore, I cried. His punishing kiss stopped and his lips parted from my lips. My eyes were closed while tears continued to fall down. A sob escaped from my lips even though I tried my hardest to stop it.
Then to my surprise, I felt his thumbs wiped my tears away. I reluctantly opened my eyes and saw his concern and guilty looking eyes.
