Lily was seated in the dining room and picking on her food. She didn't wake up with so much energy, she felt down and sad. She cried herself to sleep last night which made her look a little pale. She heard footsteps and she looked up to see Axel, she looked away from him immediately and fixed her eyes on her meal.“Lily.” He called and she ignored him.“Lily.” He called again and she looked up at him again, she noticed he was dressed in a tuxedo which meant he was ready for work. “Do you want to come with me?” He asked. Lily was about to shake her head in response but paused. She was bored at home anyway and if she was alone, she would have a lot to think about. She nodded in response and he also nodded. “I will change my… ““You don't need to. You look good like this.” Axel cut her off and she stared at her outfit. She was dressed in a simple gown. “Okay.” She muttered and stood up, Axel walked out of the dining room ahead of her and she trailed behind him. They got out of the
Lily walked to him and he held her waist as she got to him, she felt bad she interrupted his meeting and made him act rude to the men in the room and the president.“I’m so sorry I interrupted your meeting. I was bored and taking a walk when I found this room. I am sorry.” She apologised and Axel shrugged.“It's fine, I was getting tired of the meeting anyway.” Axel replied and raised his hand to her hair, he ran his hand through it and she smiled at him. “Why are you smiling?” He asked and she shrugged.“You are being a caring husband.” “Anything for my wife.” He said and Lily giggled.“You aren't mad at me any more right?” He asked.“Hmm.” Lily replied with a nod. “And you won't be taking any breaks from me?” He asked and Lily shrugged.“If I don't see a reason to.” “You won't.” He said. “So you will keep being a caring husband?” Lily asked with a smile. “Of course.” “Can I ask a question?” She asked and Axel nodded.“Yeah, go ahead.” “I noticed you enjoy staring at me, what
“Axel.” Lily called as they entered the elevator. “Yeah?” He asked and turned to her.“What is with the sudden rush? Are you trying to avoid my question?” She asked.“What would you like to have? I am thinking we should go to a fast food restaurant.” He replied, ignoring her question. Lily sighed and decided to drop the question. He was obviously avoiding it. “I am fine with anything.” Lily replied and he nodded.“Axel, why… ““What about after lunch? What should we do then?” He cut Lily off and she frowned at him. “What? What's with the frown?” He asked and poked her cheek which made her smile.“I didn't like the way you cut me off. I wanted to ask you an important question.” She said,“Oh, okay. What is it?” Axel asked and stared at her.“Why are you being so nice to… “ Lily trailed off as the elevator opened and Axel paid less attention to her. He pulled her out of the elevator gently and Lily frowned. He noticed she was upset and he paused, he looked at her and she let go of h
Nora kept glancing at Lily as she drove, Lily’s eyes were closed and she rested comfortably on the car seat.She had no idea of what happened between her and Axel, but out of the blue, she saw Axel’s text saying she should come to pick Lily up at his company. She was surprised when she got to the company and met Lily leaning on his car and crying. She couldn't ask questions because of the state she was in. She kept wondering what happened, she knew Lily wasn't meant for Axel, she was too good for him. No matter how they try to make things work out, he will keep hurting her over and over again. After a while, Nora parked her car in front of her house and got down, Lily remained in the car and Nora walked to the passenger seat. She opened the car door and tapped Lily, she opened her eyes and Nora smiled at her.“We are home.” She told her and Lily looked around, she slowly walked out of the car and Nora helped her into the house. Lily took a seat on a couch as they got in and Nora a
“Lily, I am so sorry.” Nora apologised as Lily stood in front of the other guests.“It's fine.” Lily replied with her voice breaking a little, she was trying her best not to cry.“I will go get Axel or… ““No, no. It is fine. I will just head back home.” Lily cut her off. The stares were already becoming unbearable, everyone was filming the scene and muttering different negative comments about her. Nora turned to the men angrily and started to yell at them. “Don't you guys know who is she? She is Axel’s wife. Why won't you let her in? She isn't even supposed to be invited, she has every fucking right to be in here!” Nora yelled at the men.“I know ma’am, but according to Mrs. Blackwell, we are only allowed to let people whose names are on the lists in. She said no matter who it is, if their name isn't on the list, they shouldn't be let in.” One of the men explained.“What rubbish is… ““Please, Nora. Just let it go.” Lily cut Nora off and pulled her away from the line so other guest
Lily took a few steps backward from him and he ran his hand through his hair.“Lily… ““Don't say anything.” She cut him off, sounding upset a little. She felt like he took advantage of her because she was naive.“I don't like this, Max. But I won't say anything about it because you are not in your right state of mind.”“Ugh, I am in my right state of mind.” Max said and took a few steps closer to her, in fear, Lily took more steps back.“Please, let’s just go back to the party. I promise not to tell Axel anything about this or… ““Come on. Axel doesn't care.” He cut her off and she sighed.“I know he doesn't but… ““Axel doesn't care about you Lily, he doesn't give a shit about anything you do. He is at this party right now, having a conversation with other ladies without even being bothered about where you are. The sooner you accept it, the better it will be for you… ““Stop, stop it.” Lily yelled and cut him off.Max sighed as he saw the tears in her eyes, she sniffed and wiped the
THE NEXT DAY MORNING Lily slowly opened her eyes and let out a yawn, she was about to sit up when she noticed a strong arm around her. She paused and turned to see Axel sleeping next to her. Confused, she drew her eyebrows together and stared at him. She wondered what he was doing in her bed. She could recall coming home from the party last night while everyone was still there, when did Axel get home? Why is he in her bed? And why is he holding her so close? Isn't he mad at her anymore? Is this one of his tricks?Lily had a lot of questions flooding into her head as she watched him, he was still asleep and didn't look like he was going to wake up anytime soon. Lily was too curious to wait till he woke up to get an answer to her question, so she decided to wake him up and get her answers. “Axel.” She called and tapped his shoulder, he groaned but didn't open his eyes.“Axel.” “What? What do you want?” He asked without opening his eyes.“What are you doing in my bed?” Lily asked
WEEKS LATER It's been a few weeks since things have been going really well between Axel and Lily. Axel pays more attention to Lily now, he gets her anything even before she asks for it. They go out randomly and he does a lot of shopping for her, Nora tags along most times when she wants free things. Lily also hangs out with Nora too. It's been weeks since Lily saw Max. According to Axel and Nora, he is out of the country on a business trip and will be back soon. Axel still has no idea of what happened between them and she preferred it stayed that way.She wouldn't want anything to ruin the way things are between her and Axel, he has been the best husband anyone could wish for. Sometimes, he works from home so they could just be together. At parties, they are always the talk of it. They both dance and stay together till the party ends, and everyone is talking about them, they also showed up on the news one time as the best couple. Lily was beyond happy, finally, Axel wasn't hurt
