โYou found the location?โ Max asked on the call as Axel walked out building.โYeah, according to this map, it is way across the city. It's really far. It is about an hour's drive.โ Axel replied as he got into his car and ignited it.โThese dudes are crazy.โ Max replied.โHow about Nora? Are you checking up on her?โ Axel asked.โYeah. They should be in New York soon.โ Max replied. Earlier in the day, Nora got on a flight back to New York with one of Axelโs 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. โWhere are you now?โ Max asked.โI am heading to the address. Lily would be auctioned tonight.โ 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.โAxel, I can walk myself.โ She said.โAre you sure?โ He asked and she nodded in response. โOkay, I will hold your hand then.โ 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.โOh, welcome home Axel. The maids let us in.โ Mrs. McCall said. She ignored Lilyโs presence, it was like Lily was invisible to her.โThe maid let you guys in?โ Axel asked as he looked back and forth between both of them. โYes.โ 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
โSince you have no plans after the year runs out, I made you one.โ Axel said.โWhat are the plans you made?โ Lily asked. She was so curious to know what he was about to say.โIt's more like a deal.โโOkay?โโI will extend the time of the contract, it won't end in a year, it will end whenever you want it to. During this time, you will continue being my wife and I will pay you for it.โ โOh.โ Lily muttered and bit her lip. โWhen is the contract extended to?โ Lily asked again to be sure.โLike I said, whenever you want it to.โ He replied and Lily tried to think about it but it seemed everything in her head went blank. She felt the need not to think about it, as long as she was still with Axel, she was okay with any deal he made.โOkay.โ She said and smiled.โHave you thought about it?โ He asked and she nodded in response.โAre you sure? Being with me involves you going through what you went through in Paris. Are you ready for that?โ He asked and Lily looked away from him and thought ab
โCome on.โ Axel said weakly as Lilyโs hands trembled while opening the first aid bag. โAxel, we should go to a hospital.โ Lily said in fear but Axel ignored her statement.Axel bowed his head on the counter weakly as he felt life draining out of him. He looked up at Lily who was standing opposite him and noticed she was about to cry. He tried his best to stand upright and he did, he slowly took off his jacket and Lily gasped loudly as she saw how his shirt was soaked with blood. โAxel, we should be at a hospital.โ Lily said again but he ignored her. โCome over here.โ He said as he unbuttoned his shirt. Lily rushed over to him and stood a few steps from him. He took off his shirt and Lilyโs eyes got watery when she saw the bullet wound. Axel put his hands in his pants pocket and brought out his phone.โShould I call the maids or guards?โ Lily asked as she wiped the tears that streamed down her face.โDo you want the cops here in minutes?โ He asked back. Lily knew it would be a ba
โI can't feel his pulse.โ Dr. Gerad announced and Max's eyes widened.โWhat? What do you mean you can't feel his pulse?โ Max asked and Dr. Gerard stuttered as he tried to think of a response. Max suddenly heard Lily gasping loudly and he turned to her, her hand was on her chest as she gasped.โLily.โ Max called and moved closer to her, he held her free hand and she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. Her blue eyes glistened as her eyes were so filled with tears. She gasped again and blinked, the tears fell freely down her cheeks. Dr. Gerard on the other hand was trying his best to revive Axel, putting him in a car and going to the hospital would be a bad idea, he would be dead before they got to the hospital. There is still a slight chance of survival.Lily gasped again as tears streamed down her eyes, she couldn't explain how she was feeling, she felt it so hard to breathe. She felt her heart aching like it had never done before.โLily, you have to calm down and breathe.โ Ma
โLilyana?โ Lily asked.โYeah.โ Axel replied.โThat was your password. What does Lilyana mean?โ โIt's just a twist to your name. I like it that way.โ He replied and Lily chuckled when she recalled something. Back in Hawaii, she was trying so hard to guess his password, she had no idea it was her name.โWhat's funny?โ โYour password.โ She chuckled. โYour name is funny?โ He asked and she shook her head in response. โNo, not my name. It being your password is funny.โ โOh.โ He muttered. They both went silent, both of them having different thoughts going on in their heads. Axel looked at Lily, her head was bowed and she was playing with her fingers.โHave you decided where we will be going for our vacation?โ He spoke up and Lily looked up at him.โYou still want us to go?โ She asked.โIs there a reason we can't go?โ โYes. You are not feeling so good.โ She replied and glanced at his wound.โIt's nothing. I have been through worse.โโButโฆ โโWhere did you decide you want us to go?โ He
They all walked out of the house and headed towards the cars ready for them. As Nora was about to go into the car with Lily, Axel walked to them and pulled Lily from her.โYou can ride with Max in the other car. I and Lily will go in this one.โ Axel said and pulled Lily away from her before she could give a response. Axel opened the car door for Lily and she got in and he also did. The chauffeur ignited the car and drove out of the mansion.Lily played with her fingers and glanced at Axel frequently as his eyes were fixed on his phone, since he wasn't saying a word to her, Lily felt like he was mad at her. She knew the reason, her suggesting Nora and Max to come with them was out of the blue. โWhat are you doing?โ She asked. She was trying her best to bring up a conversation to get his response. โGetting a room for Max and Nora.โ He replied without looking at her.โOh.โ Lily muttered and stared down at her fingers. Her phone beeped and she stared at it.Axel also turned to her an
They all walked towards the cars waiting for them while the guards dragged their bags behind them. As they got closer, Lily had different thoughts going on in her head, not negative thoughts though. She wondered how Axel was able to arrange everything so fast, it took him just hours to get all these done. She knew Axel was rich, she knew she was married to a billionaire but at the same time, she felt it was just too much. They got to the cars and Axel and Lily got into one. Max and Nora got into another one, while the guards got into the last one. The chauffeurs ignited the cars and they drove. Lily stared out the window and enjoyed the view, the city was beautiful at night. She was amazed by everything they came across that she hadn't seen before, Lily hadn't seen a lot of things before. Axel found her interesting to watch and he decided to stare, he couldn't get tired anyway, he never could. Lily is different, different from every other person he has come across. Her innocen
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.โWhat the fuck Axel?โ 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.โAxel, are you okay?โ Nora asked and walked towards him. โAxel.โ She called again and he looked up at her.โI don't feel okay, I don't feel right, something feels wrong.โ He replied and she raised her brows.โWhat? What's wrong?โโI don't know.โ He
โThere you go.โ 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.โDo you feel better?โ He asked her and she nodded in response.โSo, when next is your doctorโs appointment?โ He asked as he ate.โI think in a week when I will be giving birth.โ She replied with a smile and Gavin also smiled.โWow, I am so excited.โ โYeah, me too.โ She replied happily. โI can't wait to welcome the twins, I hope they are two girls, you really stood your ground about not knowing the gender.โโI know, I wanted to be surprised.โ โYou will be.โโOh, I hope it's two boys, I love boys.โโNah, I want girls.โ Gavin replied and they both laughed. โI don't think leaving you all alone at home is a good idea since your date might come around next week.โ Gavin said.โIt'
MONTHS LATERโHey, you good?โ 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.โYes, I am fine.โ She replied and smiled at him.โAre you sure?โ He asked as his eyes moved to her stomach.โHmm.โ 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.โHow was your day?โ She asked and he shrugged. โSame as always.โ He replied and looked around the kitchen.โYou know you really don't have to make me a meal, you just need to rest.โโI am always resting Gavin, the least I can do is make you a meal.โ She replied and he chuckled.โI am so lucky to have you in my life.โ He said and she giggled in response.โHow was the doctorโs appointment today? Are the babies doing fine?โ He asked and Lily nodded. She was pregnant with twins.โYes.โ She replied.โOkay, I will be back downstairs soon.โ 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. โHold on.โ 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.โWhat? What do you want?โ Lily asked and she smiled.โMum wants to see you.โ She said and Lily drew her brows together. She wondered if she just heard her correctly.โHuh?โโI said mum wants to see you. She is inside.โ 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 Blackwellโs 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.โGo and get myโฆ โ He trailed off and paused when he recalled the divorce papers.โGo and get Lily.โ He ordered.โShe is not in her room sir.โ The maid replied and Axel raised his brows.โWhat?โโA maid went up to give her dinner earlier but she wasn't there.โ She said and Axelโs 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.โI already signed them, you should sign them too.โ 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.โDivorce papers?โ She managed to say with her voice trembling.โHmm.โ He replied and nodded. Lily shook her head and tears streamed down her cheeks.โNo, no. I can't signโฆ โโYou 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.โ 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?โAxel, please. I didn't do it.โ 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 Lilyโs heart raced as she stared at him. โHow did it go?โ Nora asked and stood up from the couch.โI 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.โ Axel replied and they all sighed.โCan you see what you have caused?โ Susan asked angrily and walked towards Axel.โThis is what happens when you get married to someone from the slums of New York!โ 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!โOh my God.โ 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! โWhere are you coming from?โ He asked and her lips quivered as she couldn't say anything.โI asked you a question, Lily. Where are you coming from?โ He asked again. He had a cold expression, she could tell he was mad.โIโฆ I don't know.โ She whispered in response and a tear rolled down her eyes. โThis is bad. This is really bad.โ Max said as he read the news under the post.โThe 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
