It was the last ball of the season and everyone invited was happy. The last ball of the season is always the best one. Everyone important in and out of the city would get invited. The day was filled with joy and excitement. Everyone was excited except Lily though. She woke up late and did her morning routine, she got ready to leave for Nora’s house for the driving lesson before leaving her room.She got to the living room and a maid informed her that Axel already left. She was glad, she wasn't ready to see him. She decided to skip breakfast but gave it a second thought immediately after she recalled she was pregnant. She had to eat, if not for her but for the growing child in her. She had a quick breakfast and than left for Nora’s place. On her way, she cheered up a little so Nora wont be worried and also to avoid questions. She got there and Nora was excited to see her and also excited about the ball. Lily put on a fake smile and tried to relate to any conversation Nora brought
Lily and Axel arrived at the venue and as usual, they got everyone’s attention and were welcomed warmly. Just like every other ball party, Axel and Max had a lot of people to discuss with and Lily was left with Nora. Since it was the last ball of the season, the guests were entertained. Nora was enjoying the party, the same as Lily. As the party went on, Lily got curious. She searched around for her mother and Malia but she couldn't find them. Curiously, she turned to ask Nora a few questions.“The McCalls aren't here?” Lily asked Nora and she nodded.“Yeah, I guess they won't be coming. The family hosting this hall are not friends with them.” Nora replied and Lily nodded. “Why are you asking though?” She asked and Lily shrugged. She recalled the threats she got from her mother at the last ball. The reason why she wasn't bothered by it was because Axel told her not to worry, he was going to do something about it.“Nothing, just curious.” She replied and Nora smiled.“Of course,
Lily stared at the naked man next to her as her heart raced in fear, did was confused, beyond confused. She had no idea what happened or how she ended up with the man on the bed. She tried to recall something but she couldn't, she couldn't recall anything that had happened. She thought about waking the man up but she didn't. She looked at him and noticed he looked like he was in his late twenties. She looked around the room and noticed her clothes were on the couch, she hurriedly stood up and rushed to the couch. In a flash, she had her clothes on. She also noticed her phone too and she picked it up. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw a hundred missed calls. A lot was from Nora and Axel then Max too and strange numbers. Lily’s hands trembled and she glanced at the man. He was still asleep. She slowly held her heels in her hand and walked towards the door silently. She got out without waking him up and she sighed in relief. She looked around where she was and noticed she wa
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
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
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
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
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
