CHAPTER 146 (Second-Gen)
Nadia, and Peyton's sighed in relief. Peyton stood up, and fiavwd for his phone.

"I'd better send a text to Victor" He said, and walked out of the room.

Nadia turned to Axel who was still looking at his hands. She reached for one of his hands, and held it. Axel looked up at her, and she smiled brightly at him.

"Everything is gonna be okay. It just takes time, but the stars will eventually align" She whispered, and brushed his hair back.

Axel looked at her, and a single tear fell from his left eye. He quickly wiped it, and groaned.

"Stupid tears" He muttered, and Nadia chuckled. "I hate crying. It makes me look weak" He sighed, and sniffed.

Nadia raised a brow but Peyton walked in just at that moment. They both gazed at him, and he smiled.

"How about ice cream?" He asked. Nadia, and Axel glanced at each other before smiling.



Mila paced back, and forth in her room as she waited for news. She glanced at her wrist watch, and groaned.

"What the fuck is taking her so long?" She muttered, and sat on the bed.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door, and Mila sprung up. "Come in!" She yelled and the door opened.

A woman dressed in a black bodycom dress, and matching heels walked in. Her ginger curls bounced as she walked inside the room. Her caramel skin glowed under the silver glow of the chandelier.

Her steps were elegant, and held strength, someone not to be messed with.

Mila scowled, and folded her arms across her chest.

"You sure took your precious time" She rolled her eyes, and the woman smirked.

"Oh, you please as if you want me here" The woman spoke. Her dark eyes scrutinizung her, before scoffing.
"Still as unappealing as I remember you" She settled on a chair in the room, her eyes never looking away from Mila.

Mila smirked"Still as narcissistic as I remember you I see"She said.

The woman returned the smirked" But somehow I still missed you"She said, and leaned back on the chair, before crossing her legs. "So..." She continued, and sighed. "May I assist you?" She asked, her eyes glinting with curiosity.

Mila sat across her, and placed her hands on her lap. Her eyes darkened" I have a job for you "She started. She paused as she hesitated for a while before continuing" I want you to assassinate Nadia Knights"She said, and held her breath.

The silence that followed stretched on for what felt like an eternity, before the woman scoffed.

"You're kidding right? You called me from a very good vacation just for this bullshit?!" She stood up, and glared at Mila "I had finally found someone that was willing to fuck me without worrying about me slitting his throat afterwards!!" She snapped.

Mila bit her lower lip, a
nd sighed "Look Zoey , A was supposed to be the one to do this mission, but his lost his mind. This gut has been completely untouchable, and reliable, but now that he's felt the first taste if love he completely forgots his objective." She moved closer to her" Nadia Knights is a witch, and the only way to remove the fog that's clouding A's eyes is by getting rid if her it was my first intentions to begin with but now I really... Seriously need to end her"She explained.

Zoey looked at Mila in pity, and sighed"So, you dec to send me into the lion's den, huh? Why don't you do it yourself? "She asked, and Mila went quiet.

She chuckled dryly" You're afraid of her, aren't you? "Zoey asked, and tilted her head, an amused glint in her eyes.

Mila sighed" I just want you to do one job... Just one job, I'll pay you twice as much as I promised you, okay? Just do it!! "She yelled, and Zoey frowned.

" Twice? As in thirty million? "She asked, with wide eyes.

Mila relaxed at the interest that Zoey had with the amount" Yes, thirty mill, it's my entire networth"She said.

Zoey looked away, and though about the possibility having so much money.

Mila stood up, and walked closer towards her"So, are you gonna do it? "She asked with hopeful eyes.



Nadia, and Peyton watched Axel eat his seventh ice cream cup in shock. He had had been at it for a while now, and he thankfully looked more rel then he was before they left the mansion.

Peyton had hoped that bringing him here would help him cheer up, but he honestly didn't think that it would so well.

Axel threw the cup in tho trash bin beside him snd sighed. He leaned back on the wooden benched, and looked into the distance with a silly grin. He had changed out of his suit, and borrowed one of Peyton's clothes, which consisted of a sky blue which had the words Bite me in bold letters in the front, and matching track pants.

"Feeling any better?" Nadia asked with a light smile.

He glanced at her, and smiled. "So much better. Oh my god I think I just found my new favorite place" He said, and chuckled.

Nadia sighed, and looked at the people in the park. The sound of laughter, and chatter along with the smell of hot dogs was a very familiar feeling to Nadia.

This place had memories that were as beautiful as the ones at the mansion.

"This place brings back memories" Axel muttered, and looked at the pharmacy across the street from the park.

He smiled. It was still there. Though, he had been leaving in the west for a full seven years, the city was still his home. This city had both good, and bad memories. Memories he wished to forget, but can't because he'd also end up forgetting Nicolai if he did.

"How so?" Peyton asked from beside Nadia.

Axel didn't look at him, and smiled with a dreamy expression.

"This city is home, it's where I grew up, and learnt to stand for myself" He replied, and glanced at them. "Even though, I avoided coming back here for a while I chose to comeback because I left my heart here. I almost forgot who I was, but now I'm starting to feel like myself again. Tho, it's unfamiliar cause of the time that has passed, but it feels right" He replied, and a tear fell from his eye.

He sniffed, and wiped it. "Fuck what is wrong with me today?" He grumblees, and chuckled"C.. Can I get another ice cream? "He asked with big puppy eyes.

Peyton wanted to refuse cause seven large cups of ice-cream are enough to keep a fully grown man awake for hours, but Nadia jabbed his on the runs with her elbow.

He grunted, and Axel looked at him in concern.

" Are you alright?" He asked, and Peyton forced a smile. The pain he felt was no different from being stabbed. Nadia's explosive strength was no joke.

"Yup.." He gave out a choked response before standing up" I'll go get that ice cream "He said, and walked away.

Axel watched him walk away before turning to Nadia.

" What's with him? "He pointed behind him with his thumb.

Nadia only shrugged, and took a sip of her coffee" He just got a taste of something bittersweet "She replied confusing Axel even more.
