BRAVE LOVE'S
I DON'T LIKE IT

Jeanette now sits on the living room couch, along with Alex.

"Mom, Mommy called Daddy?" alex began to ask questions.

"Yes, Mommy's gonna call Daddy."

"Asikkk!!! Yeayy!!" Alex cheered with his hands up.

"Dad! Daddy Alex is coming" Alex seemed unaware of Axton's departure from there because he was too happy. He looked to the right and to the left. Then he got off the couch and went into the room, then came out again.

"Mom, where's Dad Ax?"

"Om Axton?"

"Hm ..."

"Om Axton's home, he's done a lot of work. Let's eat now."

"I have to go first" Dad Marcello told Mom Gemma.

"Where are you going?" ask Mom Gemma.

"I'll see Azka. There's something I need to talk to him about."

"You should talk to Jesslyn, not Azka. Are you still going to talk business while your daughter's wedding is in trouble?" ask Mom Gemma.

"Our daughter is not only Jesslyn, but also Jeanette. We're guilty of him. We destroyed the wedding and see now how Jesslyn got married" said Dad Marcello.

Mom Gemma was silent. It is true what Dad Marcello said. The two of them were involved in the divorce of Jeanette and Hansen. Although Jeanette is not his biological daughter, if there is no Jeanette, she may be devastated by the death of her daughter.

"I'm going to meet Azka and ask her for help in finding Jeanette. While you're here, make Jesslyn a good wife and mother. Quit the hospital and focus on Jesslyn."

Dad Marcello immediately tidied his clothes into a suitcase that was not too big. He knew very well that he was late. 5 years, 5 years was not a short time and during that time he never looked for where Jeanette was. He thought Jeanette needed only calm, and when all was finished her daughter would return.

Forgive Dad, Jean. - Inner Dad Marcello.

"Honey, Mom got a job abroad. Did you allow Mommy?" ask Jeanette to Alex.

"Then old acala olang?"

"I'm sorry Mommy, baby. But we can't seem to come. Mommy wants to work hard so we can meet Grandpa, how?" Jeanette tries to persuade Alex.

Indeed, lately he seems to have lied to Alex a lot and he regrets it a lot. From one lie comes another lie, the longer it accumulates.

"Daddy?"

"Mommy will call her later and ask her to meet Mommy there, at a new workplace" Jeanette replied.

"Daddy Axe?" ask Alex.

"He's got to work here, baby. We can't keep bothering him. Youunderstand?" For Jeanette, Axton will eventually have a life of his own. He also did not want to burden the anti-marriage man in a responsibility that he did not want especially in coercion.

"Okay, Mom," Alex finally agrees to Jeanette's decision.

If Jeanette hadn't met Axton, she probably wouldn't have accepted the job. He prefers a quiet and peaceful life on the island of Bali with his son.

Alex turns on his computer and plays, while Jeanette starts preparing dinner.

*****

She back? Then what use am I to bring clothes there? - One scratched his non-itchy nape.

Axton arrived 1.5 hours later. One no longer grumbled because he had time to relax at the airport cafe and sip a cup of coffee while surfing in cyberspace.

Axton gets into a black car driven by One. One could see the face of his master who seemed to be extremely unfriendly, even flatter and colder than usual.

He turned on his phone and quickly a notification came in, "Alex?"

Dad, Alex and Mommy are gonna go see Grandpa and Daddy.

Axton's hands clenched, even throwing his phone in any direction. The anger that was still in his heart was now increasingly open, until he punched the chair in front of him.

"One!"

"Yes, Sir."

"Search all information about the Hansen Daniel Family-owned Company, including his family. Details!" Axton's orders.

"Ready, Master!"

Axton must find a weak spot from Hansen Daniel. So when the time is right, he'll use that weakness to keep the man away from Alex.

Arriving at the Williams family home, Axton goes down while One goes to Black Alpha headquarters to work on orders from Axton.

"You're home, Brave," Dad Azka, who was relaxing in the living room, saw Axton coming.

"Hm ... As Dad saw," Axton replied casually.

"Sit down" said Dad Azka.

"What's up, Dad?"

"Why didn't you tell Dad that you knew where Jeanette was?"

"I just found out that Jean was Uncle Marcello's daughter not long ago, Dad. Aren't they looking for him, too?" ask Axton.

Dad Azka slightly sighed. His best friend did not ask him to seek. He also learns of Jeanette's whereabouts when his men, who are always stalking Axton, provide him with information.

"Tell Dad, why did you approach Jean? Do you like it?" ask Dad Azka.

"No, Dad. I don't like it. I just want to be close to his son" Axton replied. He could not have told Dad Azka that the woman named Jeanette had made him desire several times to bring the woman to bed.

"Brave, listen to Dad. Aren't you afraid that Jean's misinterpreting your feelings? What if he thinks you like him?" ask Dad Azka.

Axton never thought about it because all he thought about was his feelings. He doesn't care about the others. She left both because she felt Jeanette and Alex hurt her feelings.

"I'm sure he doesn't like me, Dad" Axton replied.

"Never draw your own conclusions. A woman's heart is the most difficult place you know the contents in it. Sometimes what they say doesn't match what's in their hearts. So Dad asked you not to go near him again if you didn't like him."

"Alright, Dad. I get it."

Axton leaves Dad Azka in the living room while he goes to his bedroom. What Dad Azka said made Axton think again. However, when his mind glared and imagined that Alex was hugging another man and calling him Daddy, it felt like Axton was not willing.

Under the shower, Axton was silent for a moment. The water continued to wash over his head and body. He let her have a clear mind and her head was cold.
