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
A chef showed up after thirty minutes and cooked every meal they requested. There was a huge dining table in the kitchen and they were all seated around it. Each person sat on a seat but Lily was on her husband’s lap with her arms wrapped around his neck and he fed her. Lydia and Malia wouldn't stop stealing glances at them.“There is a vacant seat, you know.” Malia finally spoke up when she couldn't hide how she was feeling anymore.Everyone turned to her except Axel and Lily. They both continued with their meal and Nora chuckled.“Ohh, you were ignored.” Nora teased and Max laughed. Malia grabbed her fork tightly and stabbed her meal, she felt annoyed and embarrassed. Lydia chuckled and sat on Taylor’s lap too, he started to feed her and Nora rolled her eyes at them. She wished she could do the same too with Max. The fact that their relationship has to be a secret was a lot. After the dinner, everyone left the dining room. Axel and Max went out of the beach house to discuss someth
Everyone watched it spin as they anticipated who it would end on. It ended on Axel and Lily and everyone looked at them. The head was pointing at Axel so he would be asking the question. “I don't want to play.” He said and Lily rolled her eyes.“Just go with it man, it's nothing.” Max said and he sighed.“You are supposed to ask a question.” Nora told him and he looked at Lily.“Why are we playing this game?” He asked her.“Because it is fun.” She replied and spun the bottle again. This time it stopped and faced Nora and Malia. Malia will be the one asking the question. “Who is your best friend?” She asked.“Lily.” She replied and Lily smiled happily.“Do you think Lily is keeping secrets from you?” Malia asked and Lily rolled her eyes at her. “One question at a time.” Lily said and spun the bottle again. This time it stopped, facing Nora and Axel. Nora was the one asking the question. “I would like to ask Lily if she wants me to ask any questions.” Nora said and Lydia scoffed.“
“I didn't cheat on her, I didn't sleep with Lydia.” Axel said.“Really? How did your shirt end up with her and why did you admit it?”“That day, when I went to drop the file with her, she intentionally spilled something on me. I had to take off the shirt and give it to her to clean it up. I guess she wore it then and took the picture.” Axel explained.“So why didn't you tell Lily about it?” Max asked and he shrugged.“I don't know, I just felt like admitting it just to avoid talking to Lily about it.” “Well, now you have to talk to her about it.” Max said and he sighed.“I know.”“Oh, I hope you know we might be broke in a month if we keep going on vacations after this car you just bought.” Max said and Axel nodded.“Yeah, I know. The crime rate in New York is about to go up.” Axel said and Max chuckled. It was night again, no one came down for dinner, and everyone still wanted to be alone. Malia was alone in her room, she was frustrated and desperately thinking of how to get Lily o
“You will have to come with us, Mr. Blackwell.” The man said and Axel nodded.“Five minutes.” He said and turned to Lily.“You are getting arrested?” Lily asked with a worried expression. “Yes, but it's nothing.” Axel replied and held her arms, he creased them and Lily moved closer to him.“I will go with you then.”“Of course not.”“But… ““It's nothing Lilyana. I will just sign a few papers, settle some bills and I will be back by morning.”“Are you sure?” She asked.“By the time you wake up in the morning, you will see me next to you.”“You promise?”“Hmm.” Axel replied and nodded.“And don't be worried about me, I will be fine.” He assured her again and hugged her. He pulled away from her and rubbed her arms.“Make sure you sleep, okay?”“I will.” Lily replied and he stared at her one last time before turning to the cops. Lily watched as he was escorted into one of their cars. She wrapped her arms around herself and sighed. She watched him as he got in and the cars drove out. Sh
WEEKS LATER “Ugh, I don't see a reason why we should be having another ball when it is close to the end of the season. This should be the last one.” Nora groaned as she hit her nail repeatedly with the glass in her hand. Lily smiled at her statement and looked around the room before turning back to Nora.“It might not be that bad.” Lily replied and shrugged, which earned an eye roll and a scoff from Nora.“Of course, you enjoy everything.” Nora scoffed and turned to the dance floor. They both stared at the couples dancing. It was the second to the last ball of the season and it was organised by Lydia’s parents.It's been weeks and everything has been going great for everyone. There wasn't any drama, everyone was happy. Lily has been having the best life, Axel treats her well and gives her everything she wants before she asks. It wasn't the life she dreamed of but it was better, being Axel’s wife was everything. Lily saw Axel’s step mother talking to some women but Mrs. McCall was
“Who said I am not going to do anything about it?” Axel asked and she sniffed. He sighed and pulled her into a hug.“I just want you to always stand up for yourself. What if something happens and I am not there? You are going to have to take care of yourself.” Axel said softly and stroked her hair, she wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly.“I’m sorry I didn't do anything.” Axel apologised and she sniffed again. He held her gently in his arms and closed his eyes, the feeling he gets when she is so close to him is something he will always cherish. “She knows everything.” Lily muttered and pulled away from the hug.“I know, I know how to deal with that.” He replied.“Are you sure?” Lily asked worriedly. She wouldn't want everyone to call her a whore. She couldn't imagine the shame she would go through and how it would affect Axel’s family.“Of course.” Axel assured her and she wiped her tears. He watched her as she did.“Where were you by the way? I was looking for you.”“I
