“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.

    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

    Axel's palms molded to Lily’s hips, his thumbs firmly sliding her nightdress up her thighs until her ass was bare to him. He held the dress bunched around her waist, fabric rustling.A hand disappeared between their bodies. A hand which Axel used to pull down his pants, releasing his straining cock.Their bodies aligned and Lily's hands grasped the edge of his desk, her eyes closing shut for she didn’t know what to expect.She couldn’t tell if he was angry or just merely aroused, and that confusion messed with her mind. Axel's breath mingled with Lily's as he leaned over her, his mouth to her ear. “I do not appreciate disobedient women, Lilian,” he rasped against her ear, his mouth closing around her lobe, sucking and biting.Lily moaned, her back arching.The tension between them crackled.With one swift motion, Axel slammed into her, pushing deeply until their bodies were joined. “Fuck,” Lily gasped, her voice echoing through the room. It burned, it burned so bad. She was so stret

    That night, Axel showed extra care to Lily. He scooped her into his arms, gentle with his touch, his heart warmed by Lily’s profession of affection.‘I think I’m beginning to like you, Axel. . .” He smiled. That alone was enough for him. It meant that he was slowly getting to her, he was beginning to grow on her, and he was sure that feeling would soon develop into something deeper.Lily nestled against his chest, exhaustion etched on her face, her lips pursed. Axel held her firm while he strode through the quiet halls into their room. In the room, warm lightning enveloped them, causing Lily to stir in Axel’s arms.Smiling, Axel carried Lily into the bathroom before gently setting her down. “Tired?” He asked.“Hm,” Lily hummed her response, her eyes half closed.He nodded and turned on the shower. Steam rose.Water cascaded.Axel's hands undressed her. Gentle. Reverent. Lily's limbs sagged, but he was quick to support her. He held her firm while washing her clean with such precisio

    “Alice? Isn’t that your ex-wife’s name?”Axel's smile faltered for a split second. "Alice?" he repeated, chuckling. Awkward. "No, no relation to...my past." He waved his hand dismissively. "Just a colleague from the office."Lily's eyes held his, skeptical.Axel stood, phone still ringing. "I should take this."He turned to leave, but Lily's voice stopped him. "Axel, wait." She called out, her tone low, cautious. "What's going on?"Axel's expression smoothed. "Nothing, Little bird. Just work."Lily nodded, yet her heart wasn’t believing a word that came out of Axel’s mouth. “Just work?” She asked.“Yes, Lilian, just work.” He replied, and without waiting for any more questions, he answered the call, striding out of the room. "You had better have a good reason for ruining my night.”His tone is thick, angry, leaving Lily with more questions than answers.Lily sat motionless, her ears straining to listen to Axel's muffled voice beyond the door.Minutes ticked by, filled with an uncomfor

    Morning came by quicker than Lily had expected. She grumbled underneath her breath, cussing out the sunlight peeking through her eyes.Her eyes opened slowly, allowing the morning light to filter through, bathing her in warmth. She stretched, yawning.And then memories of last night flooded. She didn’t remember the things she was saying, but she knew she had been talking a lot. And she knew that right after she finished talking, Axel was touching her gently.She remembered how gentle his touch felt on her skin, how velvety his whispered promises were.Why was he promising never to hurt me?She thought to herself, yet, it didn’t stop a smile from spreading across her face.She wore a smile until she saw him, until she understood that he was in a haste, rushing. With swift movements, Axel shrugged into his perfectly tailored black suit, his hands working fast at securing his tie. Lily sat up, her smile dropping. “Good morning,” she whispered, gaining the attractive man’s attention.

    Once Lily and Axel were both out of the door, the journalists came rushing toward them.“Is it true you dated the son of your Fiance?” “How do you feel about being the center of attention in a scandal?” “Is it true you got engaged to Axel George because of his Wealth?” Lily felt the urge to scream her lungs out. What was it with people and insinuating she got together with Axel because of his wealth? She came from money and everyone knew it. But it was a normal thing in society—belittling women and making it seem as though they were nothing without the men in their lives.She wanted to stop and lash out on the journalists, but Axel held her firm, pulling her through the crowd, shielding her from the desperate, hungry journalists. He guided her till they got into their car. Once they were safely inside, Lily immediately withdrew her hand from Axel’s and moved the edge of the seat. Axel sighed, his head bobbing once in understanding.“Take us home, James,” he said to their chauffeu

    The silence in the room was so loud it almost drove Lily out of her mind. A small whimper elicited in her throat, the sound so low that no one could hear it. But Axel heard it, and he knew what it meant.He sighed, tired, resolved.If unhappiness was his fate, then he was willing to accept it. But he couldn’t stand by any longer and watch his ex-wife and son ruin the life of an innocent girl whose only crime was allowing herself to be swayed by him.“I warned you not to call her a whore again,” Axel said, his eyes intent on his ex-wife. Lily was still dumbstruck, her mind running in circles, trying so hard to understand what had just happened.Axel just hit a woman—her mind kept singing. And then for Alice and Austin, it was a surprise. Especially for Alice. Axel was never a violent man. He had never put his hands on her throughout their years of marriage, he never touched her in any harmful way no matter how many times she crossed the line.And it was in that moment that she realiz

    Austin was Axel's son. She tipped her head to the side and her eyes connected Axel’s. She was silent, but her eyes asked the one question hanging heavy on her tongue. “Is Austin your son?”Axel didn’t speak, but when a shuddered breath wracked through him, that was all the answer Lily needed to hear.Hysteric laughter erupted in her throat.Lily's head exploded and she bit down on her tongue, an attempt to keep herself from falling completely apart. “You mean you’re acquainted with this girl that broke our family?” Alice’s voice echoed louder than necessary. Of course she’d raise her voice—it was obvious her aim was to embarrass Lily. “Yes. She is the lady I was telling you about,” Austin answered, the corner of his mouth curved up.Lily smiled, nodding. This was their plan after all, to come here and make a mess of her where the world could see. But her anger wasn’t directed at them. She was angry at the man who put her in this situation.Axel. . .If only he was open about everyt

    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

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?
