Jasper glanced at Lily repeatedly as he drove, she was relaxed on the seat and looking outside the window. He could tell she was crying because he could hear her sniff repeatedly.He kept wondering what happened to her, he also wondered where Nora was. “Please stop crying.” He finally spoke up and Lily turned to him, she sat up and nodded. She wiped her tears and sniffed. Jasper decided to not ask her what happened, he didn't want to make her cry again. Her phone started to ring and she looked at it, she ignored it and let it ring. Then it started to ring repeatedly and she still ignored it. “You don't want to pick your call?” Jasper asked and she nodded in response.Again, he decided to not ask further questions. After a few more minutes on the road, they finally arrived at Jasper’s apartment. He drove into the driveway and parked his car. They both walked out of the car and walked towards the front door, that was when the realisation hit Lily. She just followed a stranger home
Lily was surprised by his sudden action, she was just bluffing by yelling at him to stop the car. She had no idea he would actually stop the car. To make matters worse, he is telling her to get out.“Come on, you want to go out right? Get out.” He said and Lily stared at him in disbelief. She kept wondering where his sudden attitude was all coming from. She decided to dare him, she couldn't let him see she was just bluffing. She suddenly opened the door and walked out, she slammed the door and before she could blink, Axel drove off. Lily’s lips parted in shock, he really left her. She thought he wasn't going to. He really left her in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. Lily’s eyes started to get watery and she started to cry, it was cold, and her head and legs were aching. She realized her phone was in the car when she thought about calling Nora or Max. She looked around the street and it was empty, no car passed by. Her heart started to race faster every second, s
The drive back to the hotel was fast due to how Axel was driving. Axel pulled over and got out of the car, he waited for Lily to get out of the car but she didn't. He slowly walked over to her and leaned on the door. Her eyes were shut and her hair fell over her face.“Get out of the car Lily.” He said but she ignored him. Axel sighed and looked around since it was midnight, the front of the hotel was empty. No one was around. He could easily carry her again but he didn't want to, she had screamed and cried a lot already. Her head must really be hurting.He sighed and turned to her again.“Please, Lily. Get out of the car.” He pleaded and slowly, Lily opened her eyes. He saw how red and swollen they were, she moved her hair from her face and Axel got a clearer view. She wasn't looking so good. Axel took a step back so she could open the car door, she did and walked out of the car. She didn't wait for him, she took off her heels and headed into the hotel. Axel trailed behind her.
“So, do you want to talk about it?” Nora asked as Lily lay on the bed while she dried her hair with a towel. She showed up in Nora’s room at midnight and cried herself to sleep. She got up in the morning before Nora, she got dressed in Nora’s clothes too because she wasn't ready to go back to her suite. They already had breakfast too and had nothing to do except to talk about what happened last night. “I think I overreacted.” Lily mumbled and groaned.“Of course, you didn't overreact, you watched your husband making out with a stripper, and you reacted the way you were supposed to.” Nora replied and Lily sat up.“Really?” “Yes.”“I threw my ring at him.” Lily said and raised her hand. Nora paused as she tried to come up with the best response.“Well, I believe you guys will settle it.” she said and Lily groaned and lay on the bed again.“I just want him to apologize to me, why is it so hard for him?” “Because he is Axel. He believes everything he does is right and it's for the be
“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
