Lily settled into the plush leather seat, her mind still reeling from the sudden interruption to their day.

When they boarded the private jet, Axel had apologized profusely, but the urgency in his voice had been unmistakable.

Now, he left her all alone, disappearing into one of the rooms without a word. And that too with a dampened mood.

Of course she had Kate by her side, but all she could think about was Axel. All she wanted was to care for him as much as he had cared for her now that he needed her the most.

As the private jet soared into the sky, Lily's anxiety grew. What could be so important that they had to leave Miami immediately?

What could be so important that Axel wouldn’t speak to her?

Earlier when Axel sensed her unease, he had tried to reassure her, but now he was nowhere to be found. There was no more reassurance.

She glanced around the luxurious cabin, her eyes scanning the empty seats.

"Axel?" she called out, her voice barely above a whisper.

No response.

    A few hours later, Axel stormed back into the estate, his expression still dark and foreboding. The tension in his body was palpable, and Lily could sense the weight of his anger and frustration bearing down on him.She tried to approach him, to offer some comfort, but he brushed her off, his eyes flashing with a warning."Just need some time, Lily," he growled, his voice low and husky.Lily’s heart sank to the pit of her stomach, her mind reeling with confusion as she tried to understand how this man can go from being the perfect gentleman to a stranger. She felt like all they shared in the few days they spent together in Miami had gone down the drain; however, she nodded in understanding. She knew better than to push him when he was like this.Axel disappeared into the bathroom, the sound of the shower drowning out his frustration. Lily waited patiently, her heart aching for him.When he emerged, his hair was damp, and his eyes were still stormy. He didn't look at her, he simply ju

    A few hours later, after going through calls and passing instructions to his people, Axel finally headed downstairs, intending to have the breakfast his woman promised him.As he walked down the stairs in all his glory, Lily nearly squirmed in her seat, her heart pounding with reckless abandon against her chest. This man is diabolically beautiful, she thought to herself, a smile almost creeping up her cheeks, but she didn’t let it. She didn’t want him realizing too soon that she had developed a soft spot for him.Axel too was in awe of her beauty, but he couldn’t express that to her, seeing how the tension between them was still growing rapidly. And Axel hated it. He hated how this had to happen, how this whole chaos is taking a toll on his new relationship.Still, he wasn’t ready to indulge Lily by divulging any information to her.Axel and Lily sat at the kitchen table, the morning light casting a pale glow on the tension between them. The air was thick with unspoken words, the sil

    It wasn’t even up to a few minutes before one of the house assistants at Axel’s mansion came to inform Lily that the car that’d take her back home had arrived.Lily was shocked that Axel couldn’t even give her a few hours to get ready, and soon enough, her shock morphed into anger.All she did was pick up her phone and storm out of the house.“Hello, ma’am,” the chauffeur greeted her politely as he opened the back door for her.Lily offered the middle-aged man a polite smile before climbing into the back seat of the car, relaxing into the leather seat with a sigh.Her mind soon fogged and she became mentally absent throughout the drive back to her father’s home, her fingers fiddling with her engagement ring.She didn’t know how long the drive had been, but the moment the car came to a stop in front of her home, a staggered breath wracked through her.“We’ve arrived at your father’s manor, ma’am,” the middle-aged driver said.Lily smiled at him and stepped out of the car and onto the w

    “I’m sorry, little bird,” Axel whispered, his arms enveloping Lily, holding her close. Her face was buried in his chest, her body trembling with silent sobs."I'm so sorry, little bird," Axel murmured again, his breath dancing across her ear, tickling her skin, sending a sensation of warmth through her bones.She was confused. How could she harbor so much intense anger towards this man and still feel so much warmth for him?How is it possible that butterflies are erupting in her stomach for a man she should hate?She immediately clenched her jaw, her resolve refusing to break. She tried to fight Axel off, struggled with his grip, but he wouldn’t budge. He held onto her firmly, like his life depended on it.“Let me go, Axel,” she gritted through clenched teeth, her voice shaking. Still, Axel refused to budge."I'm so sorry, please forgive me," he continued to plead, his voice filled with regret. "I was blind, insensitive to your feelings, to the pain you felt for being left in the dark

    Lily’s and Axel’s laughter echoed as they entered Lily's room. The door creaked softly shut behind them, enveloping them in a warm, intimate silence. The remnants of their giggles still lingered, casting a playful glow over the space.“I can’t believe you went from screaming, hitting, and cussing me out to giving me a tour of your home and laughing out loud,” Axel commented, his heart warmed that he was able to get Lily out of a foul mood.Lily chuckled, a playful smile pulling her lips. “I guess you’ve successfully pacified me.”Axel's eyes sparkled with amusement as he strode towards Lily's closet. "Time to pack, my little escape artist," he teased, his voice low and husky.Lily's gaze met his, a sly smile spreading across her face. She drifted towards the mirror, her movements fluid and deliberate. The soft light dancing across her features highlighted the subtle curves of her face, drawing Axel's attention.The sly smile didn’t leave her face, and her gaze never broke away from Ax

    Lily was yet to understand the words that came out of Axel’s mouth when the metal head of his belt clinked, his zipper pushing down.He was swift with his movements; with stripping himself of his pants and briefs. And then he ripped his shirt off, sending his buttons flying.Lily licked her lips, her eyes hooding, her pussy clenching. Slowly, she began moving her fingers forward, seeking to touch Axel’s toned abs. He clasped her wrists, pinning them above her head.And then he ground forward, causing his straining cock to stroke Lily’s dripping cunt.She moaned.He groaned at her warmth.“You’re so wet for me, little bird,” Axel whispered, his voice a whisper. A whoosh. He secured his hand around his cock and began stroking Lily’s clit with his tip.He needed her to be at the extreme of wetness in order to take him in with ease.“F. . .u. . .c. . .k. . .” Her body vibrated with pleasure, her skin tightening.“Do you want me, little bird?” He asked on a whisper, his tongue dancing acro

    Axel's strong arms cradled Lily, lifting her from the bed. She giggled, her eyes drowsy."Where are we going?" she whispered."The shower," Axel replied, his voice low and husky. “To get you clean.”Lily's cheeks flushed, remembering their passionate rendezvous a moment ago.In the bathroom, Axel set Lily down, supporting her as she swayed slightly. He chuckled."Still shaky, little bird?" he teased.Lily's laughter was breathy. "You were. . .rather enthusiastic."Axel grinned. "Guilty as charged."He turned on the shower, adjusting the temperature before guiding Lily under the warm water.As he washed her, his hands lingered on her curves, sending shivers down her spine."Feels good?" Axel asked, his voice low.Lily nodded, her eyes closed.Axel's fingers traced her spine, sending delight through her.After rinsing her clean, Axel wrapped Lily in a plush towel."Time for fresh clothes," he said, his eyes sparkling.Lily smiled as she followed Axel into the bedroom. “You always treat

    Axel and Lily were together in bed, but only one of them was asleep.Axel.He was restless, tossing and turning, his mind loud, so loud it almost drove him out of his mind. He gave up trying to sleep and slipped out of bed, tiptoeing out of the room.And it wasn’t until hours later when Lily began searching for the warmth of his body that she realized she was alone in bed.Her eyes fluttered open, her hand still patting the space beside her, and all she found was a cold surface. She looked at the small alarm clock by the bed side and it glowed at five o’clock AM.Where could that man have gone so early in the morning? She wondered as she sat upright in bed. She stretched, yawning, and swung her legs over the side of the bed.“Axel?” She whispered as she began her search. “Are you in here?” She opened the washroom and asked. But the echo of her voice was all she heard back.Nodding, she exited their room and padded barefoot through the darkened halls, searching for his presence.The

    Lily looked at Axel with tears spewing from her eyes. She was expecting him to say something, to counter whatever his ex-wife was saying. He remained silent. Pain clawed in her heart as Axel’s shaky hand fell on hers, holding onto her. She couldn't believe he would hide something as big as this from her. Axel, seeing that pain and hurt reflection in Lily's eyes felt his chest constrict even more, to a point where he was almost gasping for breath. He was falling apart on the inside, he was at a crossroads. . .“Tell me what she's lying, Axel,” Lily’s whispered voice fell through his thoughts.Silence.“Tell me everything she said is a lie, a ploy to cause a rift between us,” She demanded, this time, her voice firmer. Still, Axel remained silent. He couldn't think of a way to defend himself in the situation. Alice’s face curled into a sinister smile, which she masked immediately. She walked up to Lily, laughing hysterically.“You didn't think he would be married to a stable, beautifu

    Lily walked into the party, hand in hand with Axel. They looked like a perfect couple. A match made in heaven. Just like Axel had promised, he ordered Lily an entire store of designer dresses and a delivery was made while Lily was still washing herself up in the bathroom.And when she came out, they had both collectively picked out the perfect dress for the occasion. Lily felt somewhat out of place, looking at other people and their dates. She was younger than most, almost like a sugar baby. And in that moment, she couldn’t be more grateful that Axel made their engagement public.Axel, as if noticing her discomfort, held her closer to himself. “Relax,” he saidLily smiled dryly. “I am relaxed,” she replied.Axel chuckled. “Not with that tensed shoulder of yours,” he argued.Lily breathed in and they continued moving forward. Lily held on tight to Axel’s biceps, her nerves almost overwhelming her. Of course she belonged to high society, but balls and formal parties of this kind were

    The one thing he was avoiding was currently gaining in on him. And he knew he had to tell her before it was too late. Axel sighed, pocketed his phone and walked back into the closet. Just then, Lily stepped out of the shower room all dressed up. Their eyes met and she heaved out a nervous breath, her teeth biting into her bottom lip under the intense gaze of Axel. "How do I look?" She asked, turning around in a circle. Axel remained silent, gawking at her, his jaw dropped. Gorgeous was an understatement for how his lady looked right now. The silver dress hugged her body like a second skin, and the moment she did a 360 he could swear he heard his heart rate beat faster than normal. She looked gorgeous, exquisite, and beautiful. "Uhm. . .Baby?" Lily called, snapping her finger. Axel had zoned out while ogling at her body. He blinked twice, coming back from his reverie. "You didn't say how beautiful my dress looked," Lily muttered, walking to stand in front of the mirror. Axel's

    “Of course you are,” she scoffed. “Let’s just prepare for the party tonight, Mr. George, then we can talk about your nasty attitude.”With that, she left Axel standing in the middle of the room, his sanity hanging on its last string.Lily walked back to her own personal room, tears streaming down her face. "What in the world came over me." She muttered, running her hands through her hair, shame weighing down on her. Axel's reaction earlier shook her to the core. One minute he's nice and can't stop professing his love for her and the next moment he's hard and treating her like a fucking kid. It's hard though, knowing he's twice her age, but he was the one who wanted to marry her; she didn't choose this. So why treat her like she means nothing to him. Her thoughts wandered.Lily stared at her wardrobe, the feeling of wanting to stay back home gnawed at her. If he treated her this way in private, what would he do in public? Lilly got into her bed, making up her mind to not go. Just as

    Axel reached a hand into his pocket and slid his phone out, immediately swiping the green icon. “Axel George,” his thick, frustrated voice echoed.He listened carefully as the person on the other side of the phone spoke. His eyes shifted to Lily for a fleeting moment before shifting towards another object. “Hm,” he hummed as though in thought. “It’s purely business, yes? And she won’t be there?” He asked the person on the phone.“Okay, I’ll be there.” He finally answered and hung up.“Who was that?” Lily asked.“Just a business partner,” Axel replied, “there’s a get together of the members of the Billionaires Club tomorrow and we’re invited. Would you like to come?”Lily smiled warmly, her head bobbing in a nod.Axel chuckled, “words, little bird.”“Yes, I'd love to come.” She answered, her tone excited. “But first, what was the thing you were about to tell me before. . .”Her curiosity was getting the best of her, but Axel cut her off by placing a palm over her thigh and squeezing ge

    Lily’s father’s voice stopped Axel in his tracks. "When do you plan on telling my daughter that you have a son, George?" He asked, his voice a growl.Axel turned sharply, his eyes narrowed.Mr. Daniels’s face reddened with rage as he began striding purposefully towards Axel. Axel's eyes narrowed into tiny slits, his jaw clenched. "What?"Daniels's voice rose. "When do you plan on..."Axel's hands shot up, palms facing Daniels as though surrendering. "I heard you the first time, Daniels!"Daniels's fists trembled with an enraged twitch. "When are you going to tell her?"Axel's expression turned cold, his jaw ticking. "She'll know when she needs to know."A scoff breezed through Lily’s father’s parted lips, his face twisting in disgust. "Don't fucking tell me that!"Axel's eyes flashed, his feet moving him forward. “Tell you what, dearest friend?” He asked, "You want me to burden her with this information when she's still struggling to process the truth of who her mother was? Do you re

A security company, elite protection, and delicate situations—each phrase formed images of danger, secrecy, and power.Why had Axel kept this hidden? Was he shielding her or himself?Fear and excitement wrestled within her. And she loathed that there was a ping of excitement beneath the surface. She loathed that she didn’t exactly have the outburst she wanted to after discovering that all she was was a job to him.‘But he said this is genuine,’ the voice inside her head whispered.She puffed out a breath and threw herself into the soft mattress.Axel’s vulnerable gaze lingered in her mind, his willingness to risk their relationship by sharing this secret.'Anything to protect you,' he'd said.
