Falling For My Billionaire Husband 60– An Awakening
“I’m ashamed.”“What?”“It’s shame,” Lily repeated, chuckling bitterly, “and it’s funny how I’m just realizing this now.”“Why are you ashamed? Can you think of any reason?” Alora asked further, her tone gentler, softer, like a mother caring for her child.She and Lily wasn’t so far apart in age, but motherhood had really made Alora into a more grounded woman, a woman who knew how to nurture those around her. And for the first time since loosing her mother, Lily felt so at peace, so comfortable.Clearing her throat, she began speaking. “I think I’m mostly ashamed of my desperation. Of how I moved from a bad breakup to becoming someone’s fiance. And then I suddenly realized that I didn’t even care to know the man I was marrying, I simply wanted to marry him because he was good to me, because he helped me forget about the pain of betrayal.”“Were you happy? While you were engaged to him, did he make you happy?” Alora quizzed.Lily nodded, a silent sob erupting in her throat, the tears a

“Lily George? Your wife?!” Lily exclaimed, her voice incredulous as she crossed her arms tightly over her chest. Her piercing eyes pinned Axel a pointed glare, and yet, he looked unbothered—too unbothered.He leaned casually against the car door, a smug half-smile tugging at his lips. “You were smiling when I said it, and you didn’t deny it,” he retorted, his tone light and teasing.Lily’s jaw dropped, and she let out a scoff, throwing her hands in the air. “Did you expect me to frown? To deny it? So that I’d give them something to rip me apart with?” she snapped, narrowing her eyes.Axel’s smirk widened, his blue eyes sparkling with amusement. “Aren’t you?” he asked smoothly, his voice maddeningly calm.Her brows knitted together, confusion flickering across her face. “What?”“My fiancée. Meaning we’ll soon be married,” Axel explained matter-of-factly, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.Lily let out a sharp, disbelieving laugh. “I called it off!” she reminded him, her
Last Updated : 2024-12-24Falling For My Billionaire Husband 62– The Feeling of Dread
Axel was a hardhearted man. He didn’t feel so much, and even when he felt, he didn’t exactly know how to show his pain.When his parents died, when his marriage crumbled, when his ex-wife got pregnant by another man while still married to him—Axel didn’t exactly feel the kind of pain he was feeling now, at this moment.Tears were in his eyes, streaming down his face, washing off the smeared blood on his face. And then legs. They were bouncing up and down erratically, his hands trembling as he held Lily’s hand firmly, like he was keeping her from slipping away.Then his ears. They were filled with loud ringing, so much the blaring alarm of the ambulance was simply a distant music.The medics in the back of the van were doing everything they medically could to keep Lily from slipping into a coma due to the impact on her head. Her pulse, blood pressure, oxygen level, brainwave—everything was checked over and over and over again, and it was done frantically.The ambulance screeched to a s

Minutes dragged by. More minutes dragged by. And then those minutes turned into hours, leaving Axel in a state of restlessness. He paced the hallway back and forth, small, unheard grunts eliciting in his throat, fingers dragging through his hair as he attempted to shake off the fear crawling up his throat.What is taking them too long? He wondered, his eyes glued to those automatic doors that wouldn’t open since Lily was wheeled inside.Blood stained his clothes—Lily's blood, the man's blood, smeared across his shirt, his neck, his hands. He could still feel it, the weight of it, the anger that surged through him as he beat the man who had failed to protect her.And he was ready to start his beating all over again if another hour passed without him hearing something, anything at all from the doctors.“You’ll make me dizzy if you keep pacing, George,” Lily’s father’s voice rang through his thoughts, pulling him out of the daze. “Pacing won’t make them come out of there any sooner. And

Okay, now Axel was in panic mode. He ran out of the room and soon returned with Lily’s father. Lily watched the two men as they ran back into the room hastily, their faces wearing desperation.Her father approached hesitantly, but Axel maintained a distance, hoping not to send her into fear after the traumatic experience she’d just come out from.“Princess,” her father whispered as he carefully neared her side, “Axel tells me you’re unable to remember him, is that true?”Lily didn’t speak for a moment. She simply stared at both men, her eyes darting. Then a moment passed before she snorted a laugh, immediately regretting it when pain shot through her skull.She groaned painfully and Axel was by her side before she knew it.“Are you alright?” He asked, concern etched to his face. But Lily’s smile did not falter.“You should’ve seen your face when I asked who you were, Mr. George,” she snickered, her eyes crinkling at the corners. “Do you think your face is easily forgettable?”Axel sco

When the first day passed and Kate didn’t come to visit Lily, her emotions went from an all time high to the lowest point.She wasn’t eating, refused to sleep, refused to do anything. She simply was afraid. . .afraid that Kate truly meant it when she ended their relationship.Axel was sitting at the edge of the hospital bed, a bowl of soup in his hands. His brows continued to twitch, pulling into deep frowns, his face etched with worry. His voice was thicker now, firmer as he tried, once again, to coax Lily into eating.“Just a few spoons, Lily,” he pleaded, holding the spoon out. “You need your strength. You need to take your medication. You can’t keep doing this to yourself.”Lily turned her head away, her lips pressed tightly together in defiance. Of course she was hungry, she was extremely hungry, but she couldn’t bring herself to find the energy she needed in order to eat. “I’m not eating, Axel. Not until I see Kate.” She muttered the same words she had been muttering for the mil

Hours dragged by and Kate was taking care of Lily just as she had always done for years. She made sure Lily was well fed and took her medications, and soon, they were immersed in their girly conversations, giggling and snickering.Axel got the memo and stepped out of the room, leaving both girls to catch up on whatever they’d missed.But he didn’t go very far. He just sat by the door.Kate and Lily, however, didn’t know that.After Kate had tucked Lily in, she held her hand and with the other hand, stroked her hair gently, wanting to lull Lily to sleep. But Lily’s eyes remained wide open. “What’s wrong?” Kate asked, concern swimming in her orbs, “don’t you feel like sleeping?”“I’m afraid,” Lily murmured.Axel caught the wind of her statement and his back immediately straightened, his ear peering closer to listen in more depth.“Afraid?” Kate asked, her voice softer now.Lily nodded slowly.Kate's face softened in deep worry as she stared down at Lily with soft eyes, her thumb brushin

Axel waited until the girls were asleep before gently walking into the room with slow strides. His eyes were glued to Lily the whole time, observing the scrunch of her face, the twitching of her brows.How could he have missed such important details of her physical state the day she woke up? How could he have missed the fear in her eyes the day she woke up and even the morning after? Most of all, how could he have missed the fact that she became a bubbly version of herself?These questions gnawed at his mind, leaving him restless and filled with guilt. And for the rest of that night, Axel once again couldn’t afford to blink. Now, he was more determined than ever to keep Lily safe.He had already dispersed his men to find the attacker, and while he waited, all he could think about was all the things he was going to do to the fucker who touched his woman.Axel sat beside her in the dimly lit room, lost in thoughts when suddenly, she began mumbling, her head lolling from one side to th

Falling For My Billionaire Husband 87– Crawl to Me
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
Falling For My Billionaire Husband 86– Impatient Man
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
Falling For My Billionaire Husband 84– Warmth
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
