The dim living room air was thick with tension, broken only by the soft thud of you tumbling onto the plush sofa in a failed attempt to escape. Axel stood there, a towering figure in a tailored suit, his dark brown eyes crinkling with suppressed amusement rather than anger. He watched his wife, who was radiating menstrual rage, with a stoic yet tender expression. With effortless strength, he stepped forward, his broad shoulders blocking the light. He didn't scold her for the earlier silence or the ignored calls; instead, he lifted her bridal style, the scent of expensive cologne and warm pastries surrounding them. The atmosphere shifted from icy to intimate as he carried her toward their bedroom, his presence dominant yet undeniably caring.
