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
Nora and Lily laughed as they both talked about their sex life, Lily wasn't so comfortable discussing it but Nora got her to be.As they talked, Nora suddenly received a text on her phone and she looked at it. It was a text from Max. “We are leaving tomorrow.” Nora said as she read the text. It was a text from Max informing her that they will be leaving Atlanta tomorrow.“Oh, why?” Lily asked and Nora shrugged.“Max didn't say the reason. You can ask your husband.” Nora replied and she nodded. Lily suddenly recalled how things were in New York and she became sad. Having to deal with her mother and step-sister. To make it all worse, she is pregnant with her husband. “You don't look excited, you don't want to leave yet?” Nora asked, noticing the change in her mood. “No, it’s not that. I just enjoyed this vacation a lot.” She replied and Nora shrugged.“Me too.” She replied and Lily smiled a little.“Oh, before I forget, don't forget our deal.” Nora said with a smile.“Deal?” Lily as
Lily looked out the window as the car moved, she was a little bit mad at Axel. She wasn't mad because of the punishment, she was mad because she trusted him so much and didn't question his orders. The sensation she was feeling between her legs was insane, she couldn't stop her thoughts from being clouded with sexual stuff. Thoughts she had never had before, she was having them. Things she had never tried before, she wanted to try them badly. She could feel her pusdy throbbing which made her so uncomfortable, there were beads of sweat on her forehead. She also kept thinking of how she would survive the night without moaning out loud in front of everyone. Or how she would get a grip of herself if Axel pushed the button.“Are you okay?” Axel asked and suddenly placed his hand on her thigh. Lily shut her eyes and took in a deep breath, his touch just made it worse. “Hmm.” Lily responded without turning to him. He knew how she felt, he enjoyed what she was going through. At the end of
THE NEXT DAYAFTERNOONLily laughed happily as she rushed down the stairs, Axel ran after her and finally caught up with her when they got to the living room. He caught her by her waist and they both fell on the couch.She laughed out loud as Axel tried to take his phone from her, he was on an important call with his men and other members when Lily jerked his phone from him. She had been trying to get his attention but he had been busy all morning. After their sex marathon last night, he spent the night in Lily’s room. Before they got out of bed, they had sex too. After that, they both had breakfast and since then, Axel had been on a call.“Lily, come on.” He said as Lily raised the phone above her head.“Beg for it.” She said and he sighed. His men who were gathered in a room all exchanged looks. Max was also in the room but he kept creasing his forehead as they all listened to them.“Please.” Axel pleaded and the men exchanged looks. Max sighed and shook his head.“When will you
THE NEXT DAYIt was the weekend already, Lily packed her things and was ready to head to the beach house. She walked out of her room with her bag and walked down the stairs. She got to the living room and was surprised to see Nora.“Nora.” “Surprise,” Nora said and hugged her.“Why are you here? I thought we would be meeting at the beach house.” “Me too. Until I got a call from Axel this morning. He asked me to be here early and when I got here, a maid informed me that he wasn't around.” “Really? I thought he was home.” Lily replied as she pulled out her phone from her pants pocket. She was about to call him when they heard cars driving in.“That must be him.” Nora said and Lily nodded. They waited for him to walk in and he did a minute later. Lily walked to him and he hugged her, before she could talk, he kissed her lips and she smiled.“I got you something.” He said and Max also walked in. He exchanged looks with Nora and they both smiled at each other. “Really? What?” Lily as
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
