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
Axel walked back down the stairs and met Malia in the living room. She was lying comfortably on the couch. She noticed his presence and she looked up at him with a smile.“Hey, how… ““Get out of my house.” He cut her off and Malia rolled her eyes. “I am not… ““Get the fuck out of my house.” He snapped at her and she flinched, out of fear she stood up and rushed out of the house. Axel sighed and ran his hands through his hair, he heard footsteps from the stairs and he turned to see Lily with a bag in her hand.“Where is she?” Lily asked as she looked around the living room. Axel didn't care about her question, all he was concerned about was the bag in her hand.“Where are you going?” He asked and walked to her. “Nora’s.” She replied and was about to walk past him but he stood in her presence.“Come on Lily. I already explained what happened to you. It was a mistake. I already kicked her out of the house.” He said and Lily’s eyes widened.“You did what?” Lily asked. “I kicked her
Axel checked his phone and noticed he wasn't receiving any notifications anymore, it meant Nora got her to stop. He knew he hurt her and he understood her frustration. Just like he has always said, Lily doesn't deserve him, she deserves someone better. Apart from him using her to get what he wants, was he willing to let her go? Of course not. He might not deserve her but at the same time, she is safe with him. The world or anyone else is too cruel for her, she would be taken advantage of. The door to Axel’s office opened and Max walked in with a smile. Axel slowly stood up and walked towards him.“Are you coming to give me a hug because… “ Max trailed off as Axel punched him, he lost his balance and fell to the floor. “What the fuck?” Max asked as he massaged his jaw and stood up.“What the fuck did I do?” Max asked and Axel was about to punch him again but he resisted the urge.“My wife is not someone you should take advantage of. Just because she is gullible doesn't mean you sh
“Axel, there is someone here.”“Who? Nora brought people over?” Axel asked and Lily didn't give him a response. Suddenly, the two men in the room grabbed Nora and she struggled with them. “Oh my God, they grabbed Nora.” Lily said in fear and tears rushed into her eyes.“What?” Axel asked confused.“Axel, they are coming.” Lily said in tears as the men walked away from the living room.“How many people are there? Be precise.” Axel said.“Three, four, I don't know.” She replied.“Where are you?” He asked and she sniffed as she shook in fear.“I’m… I am on the balcony.” “Go to the next bedroom, get under the bed, and tell me when you are there.” Axel ordered as he ran his hand through his hair and paced in his room.Lily ran as fast as she could and got into the next bedroom by the balcony, she got under the bed and breathed heavily.“I’m here.” She said and sniffed.“Now, the next part is very important. They are going to take you.” Axel said and Lily cried. “No, no. Axel, they look
Axel hurriedly stood up to see who hit him, it was a tall black man. Axel got into a fight with him and everyone watched. Axel was able to knock him out and he turned to see Calev running down the street. Axel ran after him. Caleb ran for his life by avoiding the obstacles on his way, Axel was also determined not to let him get away. He needed him to answer a lot of questions. Caleb noticed Axel was almost catching up with him, there were a lot of people on the street which was making it so hard for him to run. He decided to cross the street since the other side was free. He would be able to run properly and get away. Without looking at both sides of the road, Caleb ran on the road, he was about to successfully get to the other side when a truck hit him. Axel paused and everyone in the streets screamed in fear and horror. Before the cops could get there, Axel got off the streets.Axel returned back to the hotel, he was confused about what to do. That was the only lead he had and
Axel sat in his car as he waited for the right time to walk into the building across the street. According to the description Nora gave him, that would definitely be where Lily was. He had a lot of things planned out and he just hoped it would work out. It was time he brought Lily back home. According to Max, a cop is working with them. They pay him and he helps them make the transporting of the girls a lot easier. Axel will be claiming to be the cop and he would have a conversation with them to get what he wanted.“It's time, Axel.” Max said and Axel tucked his gun in his pants properly and then walked out of his car. “Just go with the plan dude, everything will be fun.” Max assured. He was communicating with him through the earpiece in his ear.“Yeah, I know.” Axel replied and walked into the building. Just like Nora had described, the inner part of the building looked abandoned.He walked down the little passage and met two men seated by a table, playing a game. One of them stoo
“You found the location?” Max asked on the call as Axel walked out building.“Yeah, according to this map, it is way across the city. It's really far. It is about an hour's drive.” Axel replied as he got into his car and ignited it.“These dudes are crazy.” Max replied.“How about Nora? Are you checking up on her?” Axel asked.“Yeah. They should be in New York soon.” Max replied. Earlier in the day, Nora got on a flight back to New York with one of Axel’s men that travelled down to Paris for them. Lily was the only reason why they were still in Paris, Axel couldn't wait to save her and get out of the city. “Where are you now?” Max asked.“I am heading to the address. Lily would be auctioned tonight.” Axel replied as he drove faster. After over an hour on the road, Axel arrived at the location, outside of the building looked quiet like there weren't any activities going on in there. Axel made his way in and noticed there were armed men around, he kept avoiding them and checking diff
Axel helped Lily out of the car and she chuckled out loud.“Axel, I can walk myself.” She said.“Are you sure?” He asked and she nodded in response. “Okay, I will hold your hand then.” He said and Lily smiled at him as he held her hand.Lily was just discharged from the hospital, she spent a day there and the doctor assured Axel she was fine before she got discharged.They both walked into the house together. They got to the living room and they both paused when they saw Malia in the living room with Mrs. McCall.Axel was surprised, and so was Lily. Mrs. McCall smiled as she saw Axel, she stood up and walked towards him.“Oh, welcome home Axel. The maids let us in.” Mrs. McCall said. She ignored Lily’s presence, it was like Lily was invisible to her.“The maid let you guys in?” Axel asked as he looked back and forth between both of them. “Yes.” She replied with a smile. Lily couldn't stand what was going on, she couldn't watch it. She was about to walk away when Axel held her hand
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
