what had been broken
In that moment, Axiel, still on his knees, reached out and pulled Jenna into a tight embrace. His arms encircled her. Jenna’s initial instinct was to resist, to push him away, but she found herself melting into the embrace, her tears staining his shoulder.
She clung to him, her voice choked with tears. “Why did you do this, Axiel? How could you hurt me like this?”
Axel held her tighter, his voice filled with remorse. “I can’t find the right words to justify my actions, Jenna. All I can say is that I was foolish, weak, and I let temptation cloud my judgment. But please believe me when I say that I deeply regret it, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make things right.”
Jenna whispered. “Axiel, I need time to process all of this. Please, give me space for now.”
Axiel nodded, his grip on her loosening slightly. “I understand, Jenna. I’ll respect your wishes and give you the time you need. Just know that I’m here. ready to prove myself worthy of your trust again.”
She lay in his arms, seeking solace and comfort Axiel’s embrace provided a temporary refuge from the storm of emotions raging within her. There was a momentary pause in their conversation, and their gaze met.
Axiel leaned in slowly, his l*ps gently brushing against Jenna’s. She hesitated for a brief moment, but later gave in.
As they leaned into the k*ss, a soft and tender connection began to form. It was a fleeting moment of surrender, as if their hearts were searching for reassurance and a respite from the pain that had consumed them.
However, their tender moment was abruptly interrupted by the insistent ringing of Jenna’s phone. They pulled away, their eyes meeting with a mixture of surprise and disappointment. Jenna reluctantly reached for her phone, the interruption casting a shadow over the fragile connection they had momentarily rekindled.
With a sigh. Jenna glanced at the caller ID, it was Miles. She gently disentangled herself from Axiel’s embrace, her voice tinged with a hint of regret.
“I need to answer this,” she murmured, her gaze locked with his. “It’s a reminder that our journey is far from over, Axiel.” Understanding the weight of the situation, Axiel nodded, his eyes filled with understanding. “Take your time, Jenna.
With a bittersweet smile, Jenna rose from her place, her emotions swirling within her. She turned towards Axiel, a silent acknowledgement of the fragile nature of their encounter.
“Thank you for your honesty and for being here,” she whispered, her voice filled with a mix of gratitude and uncertainty.
Axiel reached out and gently brushed his fingers against her cheek, his touch lingering with a sense of longing. Tll be here, Jenna, whenever you’re ready. Take the time you need to navigate through your thoughts and emotions. Just know that I’m here, waiting, if you decide to give us another chance.”
Their eyes met one final time before Jenna turned away, her heart heavy with the weight of the decision that lay before her. As she answered the call, she couldn’t help but wonder if it had been a good idea to surrender to his k*ss and now it was as if Miles was aware of his visit and so she hesitated for a moment before she finally answered.
Miles drew in a deep breath. He knew that what he was about to say would bring her a glimmer of hope, but it would also reveal the ongoing struggle that Alexia faced.
“Jenna, he began, his voice tinged with both excitement and worry, “I have an update on Alexia. She has regained consciousness, which is a positive sign. However, the Wolfsbane poison still remains in her system, causing her a great deal
of pain.
