Falling For My Billionaire Husband 41– Brewing Chaos II
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

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 stillness of the night seemed heavier now, the air thick with tension and unspoken truths. The faint hum of distant crickets only made the silence between them more unbearable. They still sat beneath the towering tree by the roadside, the soft rustle of leaves overhead doing little to soothe the chaos brewing between them.Lily’s gaze bored into Axel, her hands clenched tightly in her lap. The words she had asked moments ago hung in the air like a storm cloud.“Did you know about my past relationship with your son?”Axel didn’t answer. He couldn’t. The weight of her question, laced with both vulnerability and fury, pinned him down like a guilty verdict.Instead of replying, he glanced away, his jaw tightening, his throat bobbing as he swallowed hard.Lily’s heart dropped. She didn’t need a verbal confirmation. The way his shoulders tensed, the way his gaze faltered, told her everything she needed to know.“You knew,” she whispered, her voice trembling with disbelief. “You knew, d

It had been twenty four hours since Lily returned to her father’s mansion. Twenty-four hours since she fell apart, and twenty-four hours of crying that left her hollow. “I’ll be in my room,” she had muttered the moment they stepped inside. Her father’s voice had followed, gentle but heavy with concern. “Are you okay, butterfly?” Lily had turned to him, her eyes red and glassy. She tried to speak but couldn’t find the words. Finally, she croaked, “I don’t know, Dad. I don’t even know what *fine* means anymore. Everything feels wrong.” Daniels had stepped closer, his hand resting on her shoulder. “Talk to me, baby girl,” he urged, guiding her to the couch. As they sat, the floodgates opened. “I should’ve known,” Lily whispered, her voice trembling. “The resemblance, the way he spoke, the little things—it was all right there, and I didn’t see it. Twice, Dad. Twice I fell for him, and both times he fooled me.” Her father pulled her close as the sobs wracked her body. “I can’t

Lily woke to the steady vibration of her phone on the nightstand, its soft hum cutting through the silence of the room. Her eyes opened reluctantly, swollen and heavy from the tears of the night before. She stared at the ceiling for a moment, dreading whatever waited for her.The phone buzzed again, and she turned her head slowly, the light from the screen piercing through the dimness. Notifications filled the screen—dozens of them. She reached for the phone with trembling fingers, unlocking it hesitantly. Headlines leapt out at her: "Heiress Lily at the Center of Scandal," "Greedy Gold-Digger or Misunderstood Lover?"She scrolled past quickly, her heart sinking further with each passing headline. Her name was everywhere, tangled in rumors and venomous accusations. She tossed the phone onto the bed, pressing her palms against her temples as a fresh wave of nausea rolled over her. The room felt smaller somehow, closing in on her as the weight of the world’s judgment pressed down.

The bass of the music vibrated in Lily’s chest as she stepped into the club, her face hidden beneath the brim of her cap. She stuck close to Kate, whose confidence seemed to shine even brighter in the dim, flashing lights. “Are you sure about this?” Kate asked, giving Lily a side glance. Lily nodded, gripping her jacket tightly around her. “I just need a break, Kate. One night.” Kate smiled, squeezing her arm. “Alright, but remember, I’ve got your back.” The club was alive with color and movement. The flashing lights lit up the crowd, and the music made conversation almost impossible. Kate guided Lily to a small corner table. “Wait here. I’ll get us some drinks,” Kate said, disappearing into the crowd. Lily sat still, her hands gripping the edge of the table. Every laugh and glance around her felt like a spotlight pointed her way. She tugged her cap lower, trying to blend into the shadows. Kate returned with two glasses, setting one in front of Lily. “Here, drink this. A

The cool night air stung Lily’s flushed cheeks as she glared up at Axel, her chest heaving with anger. His grip on her shoulders was firm, unyielding, and his piercing gaze bore into her, but it only fueled her rage. “Let go of me!” she hissed, wrenching herself free from his hands. “Lily, what were you—” Before he could finish, she raised her hand and slapped him across the face. The sound cracked through the quiet street like a thunderstorm. Axel’s head jerked to the side, his jaw tightening as he absorbed the blow. Slowly, he turned back to face her, his expression unreadable. “You don’t get to do this!” Lily screamed, her voice trembling with fury. “You don’t get to interfere in my life like you’re some kind of authority! Who the hell do you think you are?” “Lily—” “No! Shut up!” She jabbed a finger at his chest, her whole body trembling now. “Are you my father? Huh? Are you? Because you sure as hell act like it!” Axel stared at her, his face a mask of restraint, b

The clang of the cell door opening made Lily sit up, her back stiff from the cold, hard bench. An officer stood at the doorway, his expression blank. “Daniels. Barnes. You’re coming with me,” he said, motioning them to follow. Kate groaned as she got to her feet, rubbing her eyes. “What now?” she muttered. Lily shrugged, brushing her hair back and standing. “Let’s get this over with,” she said, her tone tired. The officer led them down a narrow hallway. The air smelled stale, and their footsteps echoed in the silence. At the end of the hall, he opened a door and gestured for them to enter. Inside, the room felt tense and suffocating. The police chief sat behind the desk, his face unreadable. Next to him was Lily’s father, his jaw tight, and beside him, Axel sat with his arms crossed, looking like a storm ready to break. Lily froze for a moment, then let out a bitter laugh. “Of fucking course you had to be here,” she said, glaring at her father and Axel. Her father stood

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
Falling For My Billionaire Husband 83– A Newness
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
Falling For My Billionaire Husband 81– Love Is Not Enough
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.
Falling For My Billionaire Husband 80– I Want You
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
Falling For My Billionaire Husband 79– Go Get Your Man
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
Falling For My Billionaire Husband 78– Are You Sure?
By the time Lily was out in the driveway, her father’s car was already there to pick her up.A little backtracking here: while Axel and his legal team were busy negotiating terms with Alice’s team, Lily had quietly reached out to her father, asking him to come for her. Now. . .She opened the back door and slid into the backseat. The moment she closed the door behind her, Lily scooted closer to her father and leaned against him. Mr. Daniels’s face contorted with displeasure, his face lined with concern. He wasted no time wrapping his arms around her. His embrace was warm and it felt like. . . a safety net she desperately needed.“Shh, it’s okay,” he murmured, his large hand stroking her back gently. “It’s going to be okay, my princess.”Lily buried her face deeper into her father’s shoulder, her tears soaking into his shirt. “I’m fine, Dad,” she said, even when her voice betrayed her with a tremble. “I just. . .I just need a moment.”Mr. Daniels leaned back slightly, tipping her chi
Falling For My Billionaire Husband 77– I Did What You Asked
“Maybe this. . .me being here is a mistake. Maybe you need time to heal from whatever Alice did to you. Maybe we need some time apart.”The moment Lily said those words, she began making her way out of the office, but Axel wasn’t going to let her play with his feelings anymore. He was tired of the push and pull, he was tired of feeling like a fool.If Lily didn’t love him enough to be straightforward with him, then she needed to say it to him instead of playing mind games on him.Before Lily could get her steps in, Axel’s fingers curled around her forearm, holding her in place. She turned back to face him and the moment their eyes locked, emotions were high.Axel’s grip on Lily’s arm tightened just enough to hold her in place, but not enough to hurt. His jaw was clenched, and the vulnerability in his eyes was quickly overtaken by frustration. “What do you mean by time apart, Lily?” he demanded, his voice hard and unyielding. It was a tone he rarely ever used with her, one that cut st
Falling For My Billionaire Husband 76– The End of Things
It was barely a few hours after their conversation that the estate began buzzing with visitors. Sophisticated men and elegant women dressed formally filed into the manor and were led into Axel’s office.And then soon, Austin and Alice arrived. Lily watched the visitors through her window, and she couldn’t help but notice that Alice brought her own formally dressed men and women.Lawyers.She tiptoed out of her room and made her way down the stairs, following the long hallway until she was in front of Axel’s office. She pressed her ear near the door, ready to listen in on their conversation.Inside the office, Axel sat at the head of the table, his fingers clasped tightly together, jaw locked. The tension in the room was thick, almost suffocating. His lawyers sat to his left, their legal pads and laptops open, ready to defend him. And to his right, Alice, Austin and their legal team sat. Alice sat with perfect posture, her face a mask of cold detachment. Beside her, Austin leaned back
