If there was any way Axel would have wanted to see Maria, that would be her being happy in her marriage with the man, who she had dropped him for.
But the scene playing in front of him, had him shocked. Maria was in a toxic relationship,and she was literally begging her stupid asshole husband, to spare him.
That…
That triggered something in him, and made him act by dragging Maria behind him, this wasn't her fight anymore.
"Stay back," He told him, while she looked at him with eyes full of fear, she could have listened to him had it been Henry wasn't a psychopath.
But no, she disagreed by shaking her head frantically, this doesn't concern him. If anything he should be in his way, away from all of this.
"Axel, please.." she begged him, she felt something clogging right up her throat, as it was really difficult for her to say further with the look on his face.
