Days passed with Lily living and adjusting to her new life. The past few days have been boring for her, she had nothing to do, she had nothing to learn, and she had no events to attend with Axel. Speaking of Axel, it has been days since she last saw him. After that night in the room, she didn't see him again. It is either he leaves before she wakes up or he comes back very late at night. Anytime she tries to wait for him so she can see him, he ends up not showing up. She felt he was mad at her and avoiding her because she checked his personal room. She just wanted to see him so badly and apologize to him. Nora also hasn’t been visiting since the last time she did, she knew Axel stopped her from doing so. Everything was just so boring for her, she felt she didn't have a life. The boredom and loneliness have made her start thinking again, she remembers her father and how it was her fault that she killed him. The guilt eats her up all over again and she ends up crying her eyes out.I
Lily watched Axel as kept answering different calls and ignoring some, he seemed busy, like he had a lot to do. She started to feel bad for making him stay home.“Since it's just a fever you can go to work. It's not serious.” She said softly and he looked up at her, all he did was shake his head before looking at his phone again.“It's just a fever. I am sure I can manage. When you were outside, the doctor gave me a shot and I feel better a little now.” She replied.“I will stay.” He replied without looking up at her. The door to her room opened and the doctor walked in. Axel turned to him and he had a smile on his face. Probably to hide his sad and worried expression for Lily. “Mrs. Blackwell, all you have is a fever, you will be fine.” The doctor said and Lily smiled at him.“Yes, I know. Axel told me already.” She replied and he nodded.“Have got your drugs here with me, I just want to have a few words with your husband.” He added and Axel stood up and they both walked out of the
“Put the pills down, Lily.” Axel replied.“Axel, I just had an abortion.” She said with her voice trembling. “Yes.” He replied and she let out a gasp as tears welled up in her eyes. “You still have to take the last pill though.” He replied and she stared at him in disbelief.“How can you say such a thing? How can you be so cruel and heartless?” She yelled at him.“Stop overreacting over a little thing. Just take the third pill and let’s get this over with.” He replied and she scoffed, she sniffed and wiped the tears that streamed down her eyes.“You killed a child. You made me kill a child.”“It is not a child yet, it was just two weeks old.” He replied with an eye roll and Lily couldn't help but open her mouth in shock, she was so speechless. She thought he was caring for her but all he wanted to do was just to make sure the abortion was successful. “Two weeks old is something. Why didn't you tell me? You think my opinion is not needed before you abort my child?” Lily yelled.“Oh
“Yeah, the McCalls.” Nora replied. “I know you had a fight with their daughter at the party but it will be fine. Just ignore them.” Nora said and Lily nodded in response.“Oh, and Max will be there too.” She added.“Max is also a family friend too?”“Well, yes. He and Axel have been friends since childhood.” Nora explained and Lily nodded again.“So what exactly are you preparing me for?” “The meals we will be having tonight. Rejecting a meal by your husband’s parents will be disrespectful so you have to eat whatever they offer.” Nora replied.“Oh, I am getting better at eating weird meals. I have been eating the ones the maids prepare.” Lily replied and Nora laughed.“They are not weird. They are normal.” She said and Lily smiled.“Come on, we have a lot of eating to do.” Nora chuckled and pulled her towards the dining room. The day was a little bit fun for Lily, Nora cheered her up and they both talked about a lot of things. Nora shared her experiences on trips with her and Lily
Lily and Axel arrived home after a while and they both walked out of the car. Axel walked out ahead of her and she rushed to catch up with him. They got into the house and he headed up the stairs, he climbed the stairs and she rushed after him. He was about to get it his room when she rushed to his presence and he paused. He gave her a questioning look and Lily sighed.“Axel.” She called.“Do you need something?” He asked and she shook her head in response. “So what is it?” He asked. She couldn't tell if he was mad or not, she was confused.“Nothing. You have been avoiding me since what happened between us.” She replied and he sighed.“I am not apologizing to you.” He said and Lily nodded. She knew he wouldn't, she wasn't expecting that from him anymore. She just wanted them to be on good terms.Although he barely talks to her at least he looks at her and asks her questions about her well being.“Yeah, I know. I just want you to stop ignoring me.”“I am not.” He replied and she sho
“Great, let’s play a game then.” He said and she raised her brows curiously.“A game?” She asked. She wondered what a game had to do with what they were doing. “Yes, pick a book from the table.”“What?”“Pick one and open it.” He replied and Lily picked a book from the table and opened it. He pulled away from her and carried her off the table. He slowly took off everything else she had on her till she was naked. Lily stood before him shyly with the book in her hands. He pulled her to the couch in the room and she gave him a questioning look.“Axel, what are you doing?” She asked and he ignored her question."Now sit on the couch and spread your legs. We are going to play a new game..." He ordered and she obeyed him. One thing about Lily is that she is obedient to Axel. She would do anything he ordered her to do without questioning his orders. "It's simple. If you can read a full page out loud without stopping or stuttering, I will do anything you ask me to do for you. But if you s
Lily and Axel continued with their meal in silence until his phone rang, he picked it up and placed it by his ear. Lily looked at him as he picked up the call.“I’m coming.” He said on the call and ended it. Lily raised her brow and watched him as he stood up.“Where are you going?” She asked.“I have to get to work, something came up.” He replied as he headed out.“Should I wait till you get back?” She asked and he turned to her.“You want to?” “Hmm.” She replied and nodded.“Don't wait up. I might not be back till morning.” He replied and walked out before Lily could say anything else. She sighed and continued with her meal, she was done with it and she decided to watch a movie for a while before going to bed. *******THE NEXT DAY MORNING Lily flipped through the pages of the book Axel gave her to read, she started reading it immediately after she had breakfast. Axel wasn't home, she already asked a maid if he was in and she was informed that he left the house very early in t
“Lily.” Max called, snapping her out of her thoughts.“Huh?”“Let me go through the book.” He said, stretching his hand towards her, she held the book to her chest and shook her head.“No, don't worry about it.” Lily replied.“Is there a reason… “ Max trailed off as the door opened and Axel walked in. Lily’s face lit up a little as he walked towards them.“What is going on?” He asked, staring at Lily as she held the book he gave her to read firmly to her chest.“Oh, Lily is confused about the book she is reading and she doesn't want me to help her with it.” Max replied and Axel rolled his eyes.“If she doesn't want you to help her then don't. Come on.” He said and walked ahead of him towards the hallway. Max smiled at Lily before trailing behind Axel.They got to Axel’s study and he searched around for the file Max came to pick up. Max couldn't stop thinking about the book, he had no idea why he was so curious about it.“What book did you give Lily to read?” He suddenly asked and Axel
NEW YORK CITYAxel groaned as he felt so uncomfortable in his seat, he was in his study trying to work. He had been feeling so uncomfortable and restless all day and he had no idea why. He wasn't bothered by anything, he had nothing to do too. He suddenly started to feel hot and he stood up, he turned to the window and loosed the first three buttons of his shirt. He suddenly heard the door open and he hurriedly pulled out a gun and turned to the door. Nora screamed in fear and flinched as she saw her brother pointing a gun at her.“What the fuck Axel?” She yelled and he slowly pulled down his hand. He dropped the gun on the table and ran his hands through his hair. Suddenly his heart started to race and he held onto the table firmly.“Axel, are you okay?” Nora asked and walked towards him. “Axel.” She called again and he looked up at her.“I don't feel okay, I don't feel right, something feels wrong.” He replied and she raised her brows.“What? What's wrong?”“I don't know.” He
“There you go.” Gavin said as he fed her, she was almost done with the meal and he still hadn't eaten his yet. Lily was worried but he assured her that he was fine and she needed to eat first. He was finally done feeding her and he went back to his meal, he started to eat and at the same time, glanced at Lily.“Do you feel better?” He asked her and she nodded in response.“So, when next is your doctor’s appointment?” He asked as he ate.“I think in a week when I will be giving birth.” She replied with a smile and Gavin also smiled.“Wow, I am so excited.” “Yeah, me too.” She replied happily. “I can't wait to welcome the twins, I hope they are two girls, you really stood your ground about not knowing the gender.”“I know, I wanted to be surprised.” “You will be.”“Oh, I hope it's two boys, I love boys.”“Nah, I want girls.” Gavin replied and they both laughed. “I don't think leaving you all alone at home is a good idea since your date might come around next week.” Gavin said.“It'
MONTHS LATER“Hey, you good?” Lily heard a familiar voice ask and she turned to see him. He smiled and walked towards her as she leaned on the counter in the kitchen.“Yes, I am fine.” She replied and smiled at him.“Are you sure?” He asked as his eyes moved to her stomach.“Hmm.” Lily moaned in response and breathed out heavily. He got closer to her and he leaned closer to her then pecked her cheek. She smiled at him and he smiled back.“How was your day?” She asked and he shrugged. “Same as always.” He replied and looked around the kitchen.“You know you really don't have to make me a meal, you just need to rest.”“I am always resting Gavin, the least I can do is make you a meal.” She replied and he chuckled.“I am so lucky to have you in my life.” He said and she giggled in response.“How was the doctor’s appointment today? Are the babies doing fine?” He asked and Lily nodded. She was pregnant with twins.“Yes.” She replied.“Okay, I will be back downstairs soon.” He said and smi
A MONTH AGOLily walked away from Axel angrily and headed towards the exit of the building. She got out and headed towards the parking lot, she just wanted to go home, she was tired already. She was about to get to the parking lot when she bumped into Malia, they both stared at each other for a few seconds and Lily turned to leave but Malia hurriedly stood in her way. “Hold on.” She said with a smile and Lily put on a straight look. She couldn't be smiling with her, she was clearly evil and would do anything to make sure she was out of the way.“What? What do you want?” Lily asked and she smiled.“Mum wants to see you.” She said and Lily drew her brows together. She wondered if she just heard her correctly.“Huh?”“I said mum wants to see you. She is inside.” Malia said and Lily rolled her eyes. Why does the night have to be about her mother? This was the same reason she got mad at Axel and now someone else was bringing it up. She kissed her teeth and was about to walk away but she
Malia walked down the altar with her arms locked with her father and a wide smile on their faces. Their wedding was the talk of the city, everyone was there! The incident about Malia faking her pregnancy months ago has been forgotten. No one cared about that. Everyone was happy about the wedding. She got to the altar and her father let go of her, she turned to her groom with a smile. The priest started the ceremony and in minutes they were saying their vows, Malia said hers happily while Axel said his without any emotions. Malia didn't care, as long as she was officially a Blackwell, she was happy. The priest announced it was time to kiss the bride and Malia leaned in for a kiss but Axel didn't miss her, he pecked her cheek instead but to the crowd, it looked like a kiss. The wedding ceremony ended in a flash and it was time for the after party. Everyone was present in the Blackwell’s ballroom except the groom, Axel. He was on the balcony all alone with a glass of vodka in his
Axel sighed as he took a seat in the dining room, he stared at the meal and suddenly lost his appetite. It felt lonely to eat alone. He turned to the maid standing next to the table and she bowed at him.“Go and get my… “ He trailed off and paused when he recalled the divorce papers.“Go and get Lily.” He ordered.“She is not in her room sir.” The maid replied and Axel raised his brows.“What?”“A maid went up to give her dinner earlier but she wasn't there.” She said and Axel’s heart skipped a beat and he stood up immediately. He rushed out of the dining room and rushed up the stairs, he entered her room and he looked around. He rushed to her closet and saw there were still a lot of dresses there but a few were missing. He hurriedly brought out his phone to check where her location was. There was a tracker in the necklace he gave to her. He realised the tracker was indicating that she was in the room, he looked around the room and noticed the necklace on her table.He slowly w
She felt a lump in her throat as she stared at the papers. It was happening, it was real.“I already signed them, you should sign them too.” Axel said and Lily looked up at him with so much pain. She felt it so hard to breathe and she felt like screaming out in tears.“Divorce papers?” She managed to say with her voice trembling.“Hmm.” He replied and nodded. Lily shook her head and tears streamed down her cheeks.“No, no. I can't sign… ““You have to sign it now so it can get processed. You have until a week to leave this house, your account has enough money to take care of yourself for a year or more, at least till when you find something to do. You are to not return to this place again no matter the circumstances.” He said and Lily shook her head. She couldn't read him, he wasn't holding any expression. Everything was happening so fast, her life came crashing down in just hours. How the hell was that possible?“Axel, please. I didn't do it.” She pleaded in tears and he put his h
Lily remained on the spot as she cried silently, everyone was mad at her and no one was ready to believe her. She completely understood them, if she was in their shoes too she wouldn't believe herself. She knows how important the Blackwell's reputation is to them. She understood their anger. The door to the living room opened and Axel walked in, everyone turned to him and Lily’s heart raced as she stared at him. “How did it go?” Nora asked and stood up from the couch.“I was able to get it off the news but it has spread on the internet. There is nothing we can do, we just have to wait till it dies down.” Axel replied and they all sighed.“Can you see what you have caused?” Susan asked angrily and walked towards Axel.“This is what happens when you get married to someone from the slums of New York!” She yelled at Axel and pointed a finger at Lily. Axel glanced at Lily and she gasped a little as she was so frightened. She found it difficult to breathe.Axel looked away from her and
The phone fell from Lily as her hand trembled. She couldn't believe what she just saw. She wished was dreaming and it wasn't real! It had to be a dream, it had to be a fucking nightmare!“Oh my God.” Nora gasped and looked up at Lily. Axel looked up at Lily and she stared at him. A lot of emotions were building up in her and she was confused about how she felt. Although she was sure of one, fear! “Where are you coming from?” He asked and her lips quivered as she couldn't say anything.“I asked you a question, Lily. Where are you coming from?” He asked again. He had a cold expression, she could tell he was mad.“I… I don't know.” She whispered in response and a tear rolled down her eyes. “This is bad. This is really bad.” Max said as he read the news under the post.“The rumour about Mrs. Lily Blackwell was true after all. She is a slut who has one night stand with strangers. We received information that that was how she met Mr. Axel Blackwell. Here are photos of Mrs. Blackwell wit
