“What the fuck?” Lily muttered and her lips parted in shock. She needed no other person to tell her that Nora was wild and crazy. She was on the bed with the two men and she was having sex with them. Her moans filled the room and Lily couldn't stand the sight, she covered the sides of her face with her palm and rushed out of the room. She got outside and breathed out in relief. She felt traumatized and wished she could unsee that. She couldn't get it out of her head. “Oh God.” She muttered and exhaled again, she looked around her and realised there was no one around. The spa was huge and had different rooms for different things. Curious to see other places, Lily decided to take a walk.It was a long hallway with different doors, she tried to open the first door she came across but realised it was locked. Then she moved the next one too and realised it was also locked.She kept checking, most of the doors were locked while some were just empty rooms.She got to the middle of the h
“Marley?” Nora asked and furrowed her brows.“No, I have never heard of that name before.” She replied and Lily bit her lip.“Why are you asking?” She asked and Lily thought of telling her or not. “Well, while I was in another room in the hot tub, a middle aged man came into the room, and when he was on the phone, he mentioned Blackwell, and the person he was speaking to on the phone was named Marley.” Lily explained.“Marley? I really haven't heard that name before. I don't think Axel has also mentioned the name before.” Nora replied.“Yes, I think so too because the man seems to be hearing the name Blackwell for the first time.” Lily said and Nora shrugged.“Well, I believe it's a mafia thing and it is not a problem. Axel knows how to deal with his business well.” Nora said and Lily nodded. She felt bothered though, she felt the need to tell Axel about them.“Shouldn't we inform him?” She asked Nora.“No. If we do, he will stop us from stepping out of the hotel till we leave.”“Whe
He placed her on her feet and she smiled at him.“That was easy.” He muttered and she nodded.“Yeah, I was never mad at you. I just wanted you to apologise.” She said and he chuckled.“I did.”“Yes. I missed you so much.” Lily said happily.“Really? I thought you were having fun with Nora.”“I was, but I couldn't stop thinking about you. The thought of nothing bearing your last name again was scary.” Lily said softly and Axel cupped her cheek. He creased his with his thumb and stared at her.“The name is yours and it will always be. You will always be Mrs. Blackwell. My little wife.” He replied and her cheeks heated up. She hugged him again and placed her head on his chest. She was happy, she was beyond happy. She felt at peace, she felt safe. “You are the moment of peace when I pass under a bridge during a thunderstorm. Only that moment never ends.” Lily whispered and Axel kissed her hair. Nora paced in the hallway as she went through her socials, she was tired of staying in her s
“What the fuck, Lily?” Nora snapped and hurriedly placed her palm over Lily’s mouth as she was about to yell again.“Don't yell, Axel might hear you.” She said and Lily nodded.“Please.” Nora added and Lily nodded again. She slowly withdrew her hand from Lily’s mouth and she sighed.“How the hell did it happen?” Lily asked and Nora shrugged.“I don't know, it just happened and I loved it.” She replied and Lily smiled.“Well, it's not bad.” Lily shrugged and her face lit up.“Really?” She asked and Lily modded.“Yeah.”“But I feel like Axel would be mad at me if he finds out.”“Your happiness matters.” Lily replied and Nora smiled.“Thank you.” She said and they both hugged each other.They suddenly heard the doorbell and they pulled away from each other. Nora stood up and walked to the door, she opened it and froze when she saw Max.Both of them stared at each other without saying a word. Lily could see it was Max at the door, she stood up and walked to them.“Lily.” Max called as so
THE NEXT DAYMORNING Lily hummed as she stared at her husband’s face as he slept. She lifted her hand to his hair and played with it, she lifted the strands that fell on his face so she could get a clearer view of his face.A smile formed on her lips as memories of last night came flooding in. He was gentle and sweet with her, this time he was more concerned about her pleasure than his. She was surprised he wasn't awake before her, usually, he gets up first but she was awake before him this time. He must have been really exhausted. It's been over twenty minutes that she has been awake and staring at him. She took her time to admire him, she couldn't stop thinking about how lucky she was to have a husband this handsome. If a contract hadn't been involved, she might have never gotten married to him, that was why she concluded that she was happy. She tried to wake him up but he didn't, so she started to mumble her favourite song. She also hummed it hoping he would open his eyes but
“I can't believe I agreed to this.” Nora said again after they had spent a few minutes on the road.“A black card is involved, why not?” Lily replied and Nora sighed.Lily’s phone beeped and she looked at it.“Is that Axel?” Nora asked and glanced at her.“Yes.”“Well, what does the text say?” She asked.“That he has arrived at the location.” She said and Nora sighed.“If we die today, I will never... ““No one is dying.” Lily hurriedly cut her off and she rolled her eyes. According to the GPS, she took a turn and continued with the drive.Axel walked out of the car with Max and they both walked towards the building in front of them. As they walked, Axel’s eyes were fixed on his phone. Max noticed he had been on his phone throughout the ride which was unlike him. He pays full attention to business like this.“Who are you texting?” Max asked.“My wife.” He replied without looking up at Max, his eyes were still fixed on the phone.“Why?” Max asked.“She is worried about me and I am g
“So who is Marley?” Lily asked curiously but no one answered.After a few more seconds had passed, Marley spoke up.“Who is asking?” He asked and Lily turned to him. She stared at the terrifying man and raised her brows. It wasn't what she expected at all but she was glad she got answers to her question. She was expecting a person like Max or Axel. Not a man with a huge scar on his face.“You.” Gustavo suddenly called and turned to Lily then he started to walk towards her.“Hey, hey, don't touch her.” Axel hurriedly said and was about to rush to Lily but every man in the room pulled out their gun and pointed it at him. Nora’s eyes widened in fear and shock, and Lily also gulped.They finally understood the mess they got themselves in. Gustavo glanced at Axel before turning to Lily. He stopped walking when he got closer to her. He furrowed his brows and stared at her closely.“Have we met before?” He asked and Lily stared at him too. She recalled who he was, he was the man at the sp
“So what was that about?” Nora asked Max as she drove.“What?” Max asked and she rolled her eyes.“What happened back there? Don't act like you don't know what I am talking about.” Nora said and he sighed.“I don't know. I just got mad.” He replied and stared at his phone.“Were you mad at Lily before? Did she do something to you?” Nora asked and he shook his head.“No. I am just so mad she is changing Axel. She is making him weak.”“Well, I think you should be happy she is changing Axel and you should also be happy for Axel.” Nora replied and Max turned to her. Their eyes met and in seconds, she turned back to the road.“What do you mean by that?” He asked.“Apart from it affecting you guys’ business, it is making Axel happy. He is happy, you should be happy for him.” Nora explained and Max sighed.“I know.”“And I am sure he will find a way to balance things up. You really didn't have to take it out on Lily.”“I will apologise to her.” “You should be lucky she has a soft heart. She
