She knew that this battle would be in the bag. With Axel involved, victory was assured.
After anonymously sending the flowers, Roza hurriedly and quietly walked toward the parking lot alone. Her long lashes fluttered gently, and her heart trembled softly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe recalled Axel's performance in the courtroom. He looked so sharp in a sleek black prosecutor's robe and exuded a confident and passionate energy as he passionately debated and presented the arguments.
He looked so handsas he effortlessly exposed the true nature of the villains. Just picturing it made her blush, and her heart raced wildly.
"Since you're here, shouldn't you at least say hello before leaving, Ms. Walker?" A familiar voice cfrom behind, clear and close to her ear.
Roza suddenly halted her steps. She took a deep breath and slowly turned around.
Axel stood tall, still dressed in his prosecutor's robe. His long legs were striding effortlessly as he walked up to her. "Also, shouldn't you explain the meaning behind the flowers you sent me?" Roza tried her best to compose herself, and she met his cheerful gaze with confidence.
"Sunflowers and lilies represent victory." Axel tilted his head and leaned slightly toward her. He said with a smile, "Oh, I thought the flowers meant that you liked me." Roza's heart raced as she squinted. "Prosecutor Thompson, you've got quite the sense of humor." "Humor?" Axel paused, his eyes searching hers. "Are you teasingagain? First a kiss, now flowers... I wonder what's next. I'm actually looking forward to it." "Then you can keep looking, as there won't be a next tanyway." Roza felt an inexplicable surge of annoyance, turning to leave.
Axel suddenly pinned her against the Iwall, the muscles of his arms tensing beneath the fabric of his suit, making it slightly taut. “Ms. Walker, what are you trying to do? Tease me? Do you find it amusing to play withlike this?" He was a bachelor by nature, never really involved in such situations. His words cout harsher than he intended, almost hurtful.
Roza laughed with reddened eyes. "What's wrong, Prosecutor Thompson? Can't handle a little game?" Axel's competitive side kicked in all of a sudden, a smirk forming on his lips. "We're not done playing yet. How can you be sure I can't handle it? Ms. Walker, you mentioned before that you didn't mind plot.ne games with me. I'm the type who enjoys seeking thrills. If you don't want to get serious, then can accompany you in this little game." Roza felt her heart pound with sudden despair as a bitter sensation filled her chest.

But with her broken family and her own inner struggles beneath her composed facade, was she really good enough for him? Axel was not just a random person. He was Bella's beloved brother.
She didn't feel worthy of love, and she didn't want to be a burden, but deep down...
"Prosecutor Thompson, since we've cthis far in our conversation, it would be rude if I didn't accept your challenge." Roza cleared the dark thoughts in her mind, and her smile instantly brightened. She looped her pinky in front of him. "We'll just have fun with no emotional commitment. Let's make a pinky promise on it." Axel lowered his gaze.
He hesitated, feeling a twinge of bitterness. But in that moment, he reached for his chest, took off the gold badge he had worn for almost ten years, and placed it gently in her hand.
