Chapter 9

Axel and Aylin had decided to postpone their honeymoon after they come back from Paris since it was nearing the end of the year and Axel had lots of work piled up.

Instead, they were now on their way to the airport to go to Paris. Before this, Aylin was so excited about going that she immediately packed her bag excitedly. Seeing her like this was a first for him, it also made him feel guilty and he was so close to telling her about Eric and Lexi's plan but he didn't. Because he wasn't quite sure of what they would do.

When they reached the airport, Eric came to them apologizing,

"I am so sorry. It seems there is an issue with the private jet."

"What?"

Upon Eric's statement, Axel could feel that he was lying.

"Don't worry, I have made necessary arrangements. You will still reach on time."

"What happened to the jet?"

Eric avoids his question and hands him their tickets.

"These are economy class tickets?"

Axel questioned to which Eric smiled and replied,

"I apologize but this was the only thing we could find. All other flights are packed. So please excuse this."

Axel scoffs and adds,

"Don't shit with me...just tell me what the hell are you planning?"

"Nothing, sir."

Eric politely replied as Axel kept losing his composure.

'Is this their idea of taking away her privileges?'

"Don't be so angry, Axel. Things can happen. Thank you, Eric, for helping."

She smiled and then excitedly turns to Axel,

"Hurry up give me my ticket. I want to see it! I can't hold back my excitement. This is my first time riding a plane."

Upon her remark, both Axel's and Eric's faces fell.

Seeing her being so polite to her made Eric feel guilty for doing this to her. Whereas, Axel felt angry. He didn't know it was her first time being on a plane. If he knew, he would have stepped in to make sure that they travel on his jet. In the end, he just ends up glaring at Eric who avoided his gaze. Soon the announcement came.

The public that knew of both of them were shocked to see them take the economy class. While their stares and whispers felt uncomfortable, Aylin was too busy being excited that she could care less about them. While Axel was facing mixed emotions. Half happy to see her so excited and half mad at what Eric and Lexi had done and were gonna do. Because he knows that just letting her sit in economy class isn't the end of their plan.

Throughout the plane ride, Aylin excitedly made a list of places where she would like to visit.

When they reached Paris, Axel was thankful that at least their hotel was not some messy one with a shabby room. Their room was also a proper VIP suite.

Since they had reached there at around evening, they decided to rest for a bit and then go for dinner. Aylin really wanted to walk around to go for dinner instead of using a car.
Because of this, they first walked hand in hand and roamed the streets talking about everything. Since this was her first time here, Axel told her of the places he had visited before. Moreover, since Aylin didn't know french, Axel translated things for her.

When it was time for dinner, Axel realized that he couldn't find his wallet.

"I'm so sorry, I think I left it back at the hotel."
