MARRIED BY ACCIDENT

Chapter 21

Katherine

"I'm sorry, Sir. I failed to do my mission," I apologized to my superior with my head bowed. I'm ashamed because this is the first time my mission wasn't successful. I had a very dangerous mission and put my life at risk but it was still successful.

"Don't blame yourself, Agent Blue. Your mission wasn't a total failure. In fact, the information you discovered will be very helpful in combating human trafficking in our country. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know that Carlo Ford wasn't the real leader of the human traffickers but his younger brother. Clent Ford played us under our noses."

After leaving Mr. Ford's house, I immediately went to our secret headquarters to report. I told him about the secret I discovered about Clent Ford and my suspicions about the CEO of AB Empire. But he quickly dismissed the idea that AB was in cahoots with Clent Ford in his illegal business. He said we couldn't afford to offend Axel Brixton.

"I still can't believe that Mr. Carlo Ford's youngest brother was the leader of the human traffickers. But I was relieved that it was not him."

"Me too," he agreed with me and smiled. "By the way, I need you to come with us on Sunday. The more skilled an agent we have, the bigger the chances this operation will become successful," he said to me.

I quickly nodded to him. "Don't worry, Sir. I'll be there to help capture those evil people." I stood up because I was planning to leave. I was worried that Axel might already be home and looking for me. "Can I go home, Sir? My husband might be looking for me now."

My superior just gestured to me with his hand. That meant I could leave.

I breathed a sigh of relief when Axel wasn't home yet when I arrived. But I was wondering why he wasn't home yet even though it was almost ten o'clock at night. What could he be doing now? Casa De Tire is already closed at this hour. Or maybe his boss made him drive again?

I suddenly stopped when I remembered his boss, AB. It seems like AB's body figure isn't the same as Axel's boss, whom he introduced to me before. The AB I met and talked to earlier was confident and smart when he spoke. Unlike Axel's boss. He seemed weak and didn't look like a CEO. They seem like different people.

I shook my head to get rid of that idea. Why am I bothering to think about my husband's boss? I sighed and wished he wouldn't mention Axel what happened at Mr. Ford's house.

Before going to sleep, I decided to take a shower to freshen up my body. I was just lathering soap on my body when the water in the shower suddenly stopped flowing. I turned on the faucet to get water from there but there was no flow either.

I went out of my room wrapped in a towel and peeked slightly outside the door. I just checked if Axel was already in his room. But his room wasn't lit yet so I was sure he hadn't arrived yet. I could use his bathroom. I'll just take a quick shower so he doesn't catch me using the shower inside his room.

Carrying my underwear and pajamas, I went to Axel's room. Just in case he catches me, I have clothes to wear. I won't go out of his room wrapped only in a towel.

I was done showering, but Axel wasn't home yet so I decided to just get dressed in my room. When I was about to put on my underwear, I noticed that my black panty was missing. It must have fallen in Axel's room without me noticing.

I wore my pajamas without wearing my underwear. Axel wasn't in his room yet anyway. But when I left my room, I saw that the light in his room was on. He arrived. I bit my lower lip. What will he think when he sees my panty inside his room? He might think I'm trying to seduce him. How embarrassing.

I took a deep breath and carefully crossed over to Axel's room. Our rooms are just facing each other so as soon as I open the door, I'll know if there's someone in his room or not.

I approached Axel's slightly open room. I slowly pushed the door. I was happy when I saw that he wasn't in his room. Maybe he's in the living room doing something.

As I entered his room, I heard the sound of water from the open shower. Axel was inside the bathroom taking a shower.

I quickly looked for my panty inside his room. But I couldn't find it. I grimaced when I thought that my panty fell inside his bathroom.

I was about to turn around to leave his room when the bathroom suddenly opened and Axel came out with only a towel wrapped around his lower body.

I blinked three times and swallowed hard while staring at the very beautiful view in front of me. He came out of the bathroom with water still dripping from the ends of his hair down to his bare chest.

Axel has broad shoulders and lean muscles chest. His stomach is flat and there's not even a little bit of fat. And oh, his eight-pack abs feel like waving at me. What a perfect face and a perfect body. I never thought I would see a perfect man's body and it's my husband.

"Have you seen enough?" My thoughts were suddenly interrupted when I heard Axel's voice.

Involuntarily, I shook my head at him. When I realized what I did, my eyes widened and I quickly nodded. But whether I nodded or shook my head it would have a different meaning because of his question. And the meanings are both embarrassing.

"Ahm, I-I didn't m-mean to e-enter your r-room." I secretly cursed because I stuttered again. I also stuttered in front of AB earlier and now I'm stuttering in front of my husband. It seems like I need to train again because I'm becoming weak and cowardly.

Axel slowly walked closer to me. He didn't seem to have any intention of stopping even though he was so close to me so I was forced to step back away.

"Are you sure you didn't mean to enter my room?" Axel asked in a teasing tone while continuing to approach me.

My foot bumped into the side of his bed so I had nowhere to back away. I was startled when he suddenly brought his face closer to me so I fell on the bed and unintentionally pressed my hands on his bare chest.

"W-What are y-you doing, A-Axel?" I asked in surprise.

"I should be the one asking you that, Katherine. What do you think your hands are doing?" He looked down at his chest.

"Oh, s**t!" I cursed when I saw my hands squeezing his hard chest. It seems like my hands have a mind of their own. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to squeeze your chest." Oh hell! Who would believe that I didn't mean to do what my hand did?

Axel smiled at me and slowly lowered his face to my face. I thought he was going to kiss me so I closed my eyes.

"Are you looking for this?"

I opened my eyes when I heard his question. My face suddenly turned red and hot when I saw what Axel was holding. The black panty I was looking for!
