424: Don't want her dead yet

Don't want her dead yet

"Am I beautiful, Dom?"0

"I put on your favorite perfume, and I'm wondering what you think of my outfit."

"Oh, you want breakfast? Don't worry, I'll make you one with Basti — kyah!" 

"Dom, stop it!"

Axel felt all the hair in his body raised, watching Mrs. Deng act flirtatiously at her age. Not that he had a problem with old people dating or feeling young. However, Mrs. Deng, the maid he had known since he was a child, was role-playing as his big brother's wife while hugging Dominic's suit. 

This sight alone was enough to give him goosebumps. Her provocative remarks, calling Dominic's name in such a manner, almost made Axel throw up. 

Axel stayed frozen in his spot, unable to kick the door open or look away at the moment. All he could do was watch this madness unfold right in front of him, watching Mrs. Deng dance while hugging his brother's suit. 

"Disgusting," he breathed out through his gritted teeth, balling his hand into a fist. 

"Dom…" Mrs. Deng moaned, moving the sleeve down to her legs. "Not there —"

"Fuck!!!" This time, Axel's voice erupted with adrenaline, kicking the door open before things would go even more nasty. 

Mrs. Deng jumped in surprise, eyes shaking as she turned her head to the entrance. The moment her eyes landed on the person standing by the door, her pupils went wide as they shook. She dropped the suit from her embrace and it landed on her feet soundlessly. 

"Se — second young master?" she stuttered. "What  — what are you doing in here?"

"Mrs. Deng, what the hell are you doing?" Axel's face turned red in disgust, looking at the head maid from head to toe. "Is this what you do in here? Fantasize about my brother, who is almost half your age while pretending to be my sister-in-law?"

"What?" Mrs. Deng's breath hitched as her body shook. "Second young master, I can — I can explain!" 

"Explain?" Axel balled his hand into a tight fist, grinding his teeth. "How are you going to explain how you were about to touch yourself with my brother's clothes?"

Mrs. Deng opened and closed her mouth, but her voice was stuck in her throat. Horror slowly dominated her face, realizing Axel heard and saw everything. She couldn't get away from this!

Grasping she was doomed, Mrs. Deng sprinted toward Axel and slid to her knees. 

"Second young master, I only did this once!" she explained, rubbing her palms together, begging on her knees. "I simply thought the clothes here were so pretty, and it's a shame that they weren't being used! I will not do it again. Please don't tell the master!" 

Mrs. Deng begged and begged, using all the excuses she could think of even when they didn't make sense to him. At this point, Mrs. Deng should know how unforgiving and sensitive Axel could be. Even if he didn't see what he saw, just the fact she was wearing his family's clothes or things was enough to warrant his anger. 

"Second young master, I —" 

"You are a disgusting piece of trash." Axel scoffed, shaking his head while keeping his eyes on her. "I can't believe someone like you is around my brother."

"No, second young master!" Mrs. Deng almost choked at Axel's remarks, crawling to his feet to beg more for leniency. However, just as her hand touched his shoes, Axel aggressively kicked her away. 

"Ah!"

"Don't touch me with those filthy hands!" Axel growled, showing no sign of remorse despite kicking the middle-aged woman. 

"Second young master…" A thick layer of tears covered Mrs. Deng's eyes, feeling her hand throb from the kick. 

"I said you should leave. You're not taking any of your things without anyone inspecting it." Another layer of frost coated his face as his eyes turned red in anger. "Who knows what else you stole from my sister?"

"Second young master, please don't kick me out." She teared up, but instead of getting his sympathy, her tears simply brought another wave of anger into his heart.

"Leave! While I'm asking nicely, Mary Rose!" 

"Please…"

"You don't want to leave?" Axel scorned, letting out a short, dry laugh. "You probably think so little of me that you think I can't kick you out, huh?"

He clenched his teeth as his growing anger and disgust slowly overtook him. In a minute, Axel's vision turned red as he leaped a huge step. 

"Come here, you bitch!" Axel grabbed Mrs. Deng's dress, making the latter squeal at his aggressiveness. "How dare you do this to my brother when our family only showed you nothing but kindness?"

Axel dragged Mrs. Deng out viciously, ignoring the latter's begging and squealing that he was hurting her.

Meanwhile, Heaven snapped her eyes up on the second floor upon hearing Mrs. Deng's squealing. Bear, who was with her in the lobby, also looked up with furrowed brows. 

"Is he beating her up?" he wondered, noticing some servants rush to the mansion's lobby to see what was going on. 

They first saw Heaven sitting on the long couch, enjoying a juice she brought with her. Before they could go to the second floor, Heaven spoke. 

"Don't worry," she said, stopping the servants who were about to rush to the second floor where Mrs. Deng was screaming. "Axel is just scolding Mrs. Deng because she's been misbehaving. So, don't mind them."

A smile turned up on her face, making the servants furrow their brows. "Please, leave this area for now."

The servants looked at the young madam with reluctance and puzzlement. However, the closer Mrs. Deng's scream and begging, the more their instincts told them to listen to the young madam. After all, they might not have said it, but all of them were aware that Mrs. Deng had been taking an interest in the young madam's clothes. 

"What are you waiting for?" After a minute, Bear's stern voice brought them back to the current lapse. "Nothing is going on here. Go back to whatever you were doing and leave the area."

"Uh…" the servants looked at each other before they nodded at Heaven. "Yes. Please tell us if you need anything, young madam."

And just like that, the servants left without checking what was going on. Not long after everyone was dismissed, Heaven and Bear caught Axel's figure dragging Mrs. Deng down the stairs. 

'As expected from him,' Heaven smirked, eyelids drooping. "Bear, assist my little brother. He might fall or he might end up killing her. I don't want her dead yet."
