last update Last Updated: 2024-10-30 15:30:16

As Lily watched Axel shut the door behind him, her thoughts swirled. She was attempting to process Axel's revelation.

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. His words resonated, echoing her own feelings.

She pulled her hair, tossed and turned, and continued to sigh in frustration.

She needed answers, she knew there was more. She kne

    Axel stood still, his eyes locked on Lily's, the slap still resonating in the air. The sound still echoed in his mind.Everyone has their breaking point—Axel had just realized that Lily’s breaking point was her mother.She had painted a perfect picture of the woman who birthed her and it drove her insane that anyone would speak Ill of her character.Surprise clouded his face.Lily's face twisted in pain, her eyes burning with betrayal. "How dare you," she whispered.Axel didn't flinch. "I'm only telling you the truth. The truth you’ve been seeking for a while now.”“You’re a fucking liar,” she spat, her teeth grinding.Axel shook his head. “Why?” He asked, “because I’m simply providing answers to the questions you’ve been asking for weeks?”“Liar!” She yelled in his face.“No, I’m not,” he whispered.Tears filled Lily's eyes. "You're a monster."Axel's voice softened. "That, I am,” he agreed, his jaw ticking. “I’m a monster who’s loyal to the people he loves.” Lily laughed, despairin

    “Don’t!”A familiar voice rang through the air, startling Lily and her father. Their heads snapped to the door, the eyes going wide in surprise as they stared at a disheveled looking Axel.His chest was heaving quick breaths, his eyes moving frantically.He shook his head at Lily’s father and mouthed, “please don’t. . .”Mr. Daniels heaved a shuddered breath, his head tipping to the side. “We shouldn’t keep these things away from her anymore, George,” he said, his tone firm.Axel nodded. “I understand. She’ll know, but not like this. . .”“You shouldn’t be here, Axel,” Lily’s harsh tone sliced through his surprisingly vulnerable heart. “You have no right to be here, and you have no right to stop my father from telling me what I should know!”The room fell silent for a fleeting moment, both couples staring into each other’s souls with pain in both their eyes.Lily felt a pang of regret in that moment. ‘Maybe I’m pushing too far,’ she thought to herself. “Axel. . .” She whispered, hopin

    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

    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

    “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

    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

    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

    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’s cheeks were still flushed as she stepped out of the car when they arrived at Axel’s estate. Axel’s hand rested on the small of her back, leading her into the manor while her legs still trembled from the exerting activity they’d indulged in aka their passionate rendezvous in the office and car. She could feel the heat on her skin, a mixture of embarrassment, shyness, and exhilaration. Her hands smoothed her dress down as if attempting the evidence of what transpired between them. Axel walked beside her, his face smug with a satisfied expression. His lips twitched into a knowing smirk whenever he glanced her way, and it only made Lily blush harder. The heavy door shut behind them with a resounding thud. The quiet of the manor wrapped around them, an almost tangible reminder that they were completely alone now. “Where’s everyone?” Lily asked, as she fidgeted, her fingers playing with the hem of her dress. She felt vulnerable under Axel’s intense gaze, like a butterfly pinned

    Lily's legs still trembled as she and Axel strolled through the hallway and entered the elevator, leading them down. The tension between them thickened with every second that ticked by and Lily continued gulping down the lump forming in her throat.Her mind rang with Axel’s promise. He said he’d take her home and make her crawl to him, then make her beg for all the stress he’d put her through.Her cheeks flamed. It’d been a while since they were intimate, and anticipation shook her to the core. She gasped as Axel’s hand rested possessively on her lower back, guiding her toward his sleek car, her heart beating raggedly on her ribcage, making her chase her breath.When they reached the car, Axel opened the passenger door for her and she slid in, flashing him a soft smile. Why was he so quiet?What was going through his mind?His movements were stiff, robotic, as though holding himself back took every ounce of his willpower. Lily settled into the seat, shifting to get comfortable as her

  • Falling For My Billionaire Husband    85– Office Rendezvous

    The kiss was slow at first—just gentle kisses, testing, tasting as though rediscovering each other after months of separation. Almost like Lily and Axel were afraid of letting themselves go. Axel cupped Lily’s face, his thumb grazing the curve of her cheek, and she sighed softly against his mouth. The sound stirred something animalistic in him, and he tilted his head, deepening the kiss.Lily’s hands found his chest, her fingers tracing over the hard muscles beneath his shirt. She clung onto his shirt, her lips parting to let Axel’s tongue in. His fingers dug into her hair as he titled his head further to the side, deepening the kiss even more.“Fuck,” he groaned into her mouth, straining as his cock thickened in his pants, fighting to be let out. In the moment, every string of control flew out the window, the switch flipped. His fingers tightened into Lily’s hair painfully hard, so painful it drew a whimper from her throat.Axel growled at the melodic sound, his teeth nibbling Lil

    Lily and Axel continued exploring the facility, moving through hallways filled with laughter and the vibrant energy of children. Axel loosely held her hand as they walked, guiding her from one room to another. Every now and then, they stopped to play with the kids, their conversations filled with giggles and wide-eyed admiration.“I think whatever you told Mia has spread like wildfire,” Lily teased, watching a group of kids blush and whisper as they passed. “They can’t stop staring at us.”Axel smirked, his eyes warm with mischief. “It’s fine if they know, but you? You’ll never find out.”Lily rolled her eyes dramatically, letting out a groan. “You’re so. . .impossible.”Their tour finally led them to the children’s drawing room. They settled at one of the small tables, joining a group of kids who eagerly handed them paintbrushes.As Lily dipped her brush into the vibrant colors, she felt a sense of peace wash over her. She wasn’t thinking about the past, the pain, or even the uncer

    The sun was yet to rise when Axel arrived at Lily’s home. Today, he drove himself, in a way to give him and Lily more private time to bond.He was dressed in a casual attire—grey sweatpants and a black T-shirt, then a baseball hat on his head.Without wanting to disturb Lily’s sleep, he sat in his car and waited for hours until the sun began to rise. And to his greatest surprise, he spotted Lily gently jogging back to the manor after her morning run.His mouth pulled apart, pupils dilating as he watched her move so smoothly, sweat trickling down her face, a few strands of her hair matted over her forehead.Beautiful. . .so fucking beautiful.His head voice kept whispering as he opened the car door and stepped out. Lily’s steps slowed to a stop the moment she spotted him getting out of his car and she almost stumbled. Axel was quick to reach her side before she crashed, his firm hands holding her up.“Axel?” Her voice was breathless, partly from her run and partly from the shock of se

  • Falling For My Billionaire Husband    82– Grovel At My Feet

    Axel weaved the lunch bag’s handle through his fingers, the other hand formed into a fist and steepled underneath his chin, his eyes observing the city light outside the window of his office.It was dark into the night and yet, Axel’s mind was nowhere near ease. “Fuck. . .” He grumbled, fingers diving into his hair, his head dropping low, shaking.He rose to his feet and approached the window, staring at his reflection as though it were a stranger.“You had to mess it up, didn’t you?” He asked himself as he massaged his temples with his fingers.He was unnerved by the thought that he might’ve ruined his chances at repairing his relationship with Lily, that his pride and slightly loose tongue might’ve cost him his last chance at having this love he craved so much.But he shut her out for good reason.All these weeks that turned into a full month of no communication with Lily, he had taken his time to plan out the perfect apology.He wanted to be the one to beg her, he wanted to be the

    The next day, Lily found herself walking through the lobby of Axel’s establishment. She had a bouquet of white roses in one hand, and in the other, she carried a small bag containing a lunch box.She was afraid of the outcome of her visit especially as her mind replayed the events of last night. The way Axel sent her out of his house, the way he looked down at her with so much anger and resentment.It terrified her to be here in his workspace, but she was a woman on a mission. She needed to repair the relationship she ruined and nothing was going to stop her.When she arrived at the private floor, she approached the receptionist with a warm smile. “Hi, I’m Lilian Daniels.” She said.And that was all that needed to be said for the receptionist's smile to widen. Everyone knew Lilian Daniels—not just as a fast growing fashion mogul, or even the only daughter of a powerful business man, but as the woman who has Axel George’s heart.“You’re here to see Mr. George?” The receptionist asked.

    When Axel walked into his home in the dead of night, the aroma of something delicious—of his favorite meal wafted through his nose. He stopped dead in his tracks, his brows pulling into furrows as he remembered instructing his chef not to make dinner.He began approaching the kitchen but then he stopped at the dinning. The dining is perfectly set up. With soft candles burning, rose petals scattered across the silk cloth covering the dining table, and elegant dinnerwares sprawled out.Do I have a visitor? He wondered.But he didn’t dwell too long in his thought when Lily walked out of the kitchen with a serving spoon.She quickly noticed Axel’s presence and that made her stop in her tracks, a gasp falling free from her throat.Both their eyes locked and they stared intensely for seconds that could pass for hours.In Axel’s heart, he was confused and happy all at once, but he couldn’t bring himself to show her his excitement even if he wanted to and he didn’t know why.“Hey,” Lily final

    One month later.Lily paced her room, thumb between her teeth, phone pressed to her ear as she listened to the person speaking on the other end.A business partner—no, a major business partner.“Of course, Mrs. Baldwin, I understand what you mean. You trust me to deliver a good job and be punctual about it too, don’t you?” Lily asked and quieted herself once more until she heard a response.“Good. Now rest your mind. I’ll make sure my team gets to you before the weekend,” Lily assured her, finally removing the phone from her ear and letting her body collapse onto the couch. She groaned, running a hand through her hair in frustration.Kate, who was already sitting beside her the entire time with a bowl of ice cream in hand, chuckled softly. She nudged Lily with her elbow, a proud smile playing on her lips. “Look at you,” Kate said, a teasing lilt in her voice. “Who would’ve thought you could expand your brand this much in such a short amount of time, especially with everything you’ve b
