ILLICIT AFFAIRS Fifty-Three: He Found Me
LISA"You seriously need to be arrested for the way you've actually managed to wrap yourself in all those baggies and keep your body away from us like this."That was Tana's way of hyping me up and telling me I look hot and pretty in my long body con red gown that stuck to my body like a second skin. Even I knew and was certain that I was attractive and my gown was dangerous and provocative. Dangerous and provocative. I looked at myself in the mirror, looked at how low my cleavage ran and how sinfully hot I looked in this excuse of a gown.I couldn't wait to see Axel's reactions to my gown.I paused at the sudden thought in my brain. I wasn't dressing up for Axel. Why would I even dress up for him? I've managed not to think about him since the last time we were together after he dragged me off to his house after he cornered me for avoiding him all week long and he had made heavy on his promise of requiring more space to carry out the wicked things he wanted to do to my body as he ma

LISAHe pulled me into his arms as the slow music started to play and everybody started to dance with their partners.One of his hands encircled my waist and pulled me closer my flattening on my lower back while the other intertwined with my hand as our bodies started to move slowly to the slow music. My heart wouldn’t stop racing in my chest at our close proximity which wasn’t even anything. We’ve been standing in closer proximity before, especially those times when we did not have our clothes on and he was busy driving my body and mind to the edge of insanity with the skillfulness that was his hands and months. But there was something about this, about his hand on my lower back and his finger pad that was moving absentmindedly over it, about his hand that was intertwined with mine as our bodies glided slowly to the music. There was something euphoric about it, something beautiful that made me lightheaded, like made me feel all fuzzy inside, that made me feel a warm feeling in the

AXEL"We need to put an end to an end to this,” she told me calmly as she stared right back into my eyes and I blacked out for a minute, willing my ears so I hear what I just heard.“What thing?” I asked her, mimicking her calm tone because she surely didn’t mean what I think she meant.“This thing between us,” she gestured to the tiny space between us, “it has to stop, we’re risking a lot of things just because of physical intimacy and I can’t do it to anyone. My prestige and respect are on the line if I get caught.”Wow! All night long, I almost lost my mind and sanity because of how she was dressed. I’ve been tethering over the edge of insanity since I saw her in that red gown since I pulled her into my arms since her scent assaulted my nose. I’ve tried to distract myself by engaging that girl just because I don’t want to scare her with how much I needed her back in there. Heck, I couldn’t even think straight while looking into her eyes, fuck, I couldn’t think at all. She had almost

AXEL“Fucking hell,” I cursed under my breath as the sharp edge of the paper tore the skin of my finger and I instinctively lifted the finger to my mouth to lick the tiny blood off. I felt a pair of eyes on me and I looked up to see Prince staring at me with a comical look in his eyes. “Care to share what’s funny?” I bite out.“Care to share why you’ve been on edge since morning?” He asked casually, that comical smile still on his lips.“On edge?” I asked, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”But of course, I do know what he was talking about. I haven’t been myself since two nights ago when Red called it off.“Of course, you know what I’m talking about,” he spelled out for me with his eyes still locked on mine, “you’ve been on edge since morning, you’ve hardly concentrated on the files we’re supposed to sort through, your mind seems to be all over the place which is so unlike you and now you’re cutting paper cuts. Really? Axel? That’s unfathomable.”Fuck Prince for being so cyn

LISA“You know you've been acting unusual, right?” Tana asked me from her bed and I rolled my tired body over so I could look at her. “Why do you mean I’ve been acting unusual?” I asked even though I knew what exactly she was talking about. I haven't been myself since three nights ago when Axel walked away from me.I know I asked him to leave but I wasn't sure what I wanted him to do, to give me a reason to stay, to try to fight for us or something. And then he had walked away leaving me standing in the ember of my ashes, in the shattering of my heart. I wasn’t sure how I got back to the hostel and ever since I got back to the hostel, I’ve barely been functioning. My routine felt mundane, boring and it felt like my life had come to a sudden and startling halt. I was barely able to listen in class and once the class was over, I’d rush back home to bury myself under my duvet. I tried to distract myself by getting lost in programming and coming up with new security codes but everythin

AXELI took another shot and I gulped it down in one go.The loud music and excited screams in the bar did nothing to better my mood and alleviate my worries. If anything, it was worsening it and I knew I should leave, I should go back home but I badly needed this distraction. I badly needed something or someone that'd take my mind off the turmoil that Lisa had plunged me into.Or better put, the turmoil that Prince's observation had put me into."This is not just about you being into her, you're in love with her."I was in love with her? No, I wasn't. I was clear on that as the day was daylight. I wasn't in love with Lisa. I couldn't be in love with her but what was this hollow hole in my heart? What was this hollow space in my heart after she walked away? What was this irrational need to call her and get her to go back on her words? What was this insane desire to call her and hear her voice? What was this bizarre need to go over and see her face and hear her laugh and just bask in t

LISATana had dragged me to the bar, and now we were standing in front of it. I had tried to talk my way out of coming out and coming to this bar with Tana but she was having none of it. She insisted I had to come here, to party, to socialize to get him out of my mind.I was starting to think that might not be possible, getting him out of my mind, I mean. "Come on, babe, what's that look on your face?" She asked me when I was only looking at the entrance of the bar and not making an attempt to enter."What look?" I asked, feigning innocence. "That sad, wistful expression. Come on, Lisa. We came out here to forget about everything and just have a good time. "And you're a badass, pretty, smoking hot and sophisticated girl. I don't see why you're stressing over him when you can easily get any man that you want."Yeah, I could but none of them were Axel.But Tana was somehow right. Maybe all I need is a distraction, and that won't be difficult, especially since I was already receiving g

LISAI didn't say anything as he dragged me out, dragged me towards the car park, unlocked his car door, and threw me in. I didn't say anything when he rounded the car and he got in behind the wheels when he leaned over to help me buckle my seat belt, torturing us both with our closeness because my breath hitched up and his became very rapid too. Didn't say anything when he started the ignition when he eased the car out of the parking lot and he started driving towards the roads that I’d gotten to know way too much. Because they lead to his house. He didn't say anything too, he just looked as angry and pissed off as hell and it made me wonder why he was so angry because he doesn't have any right to be angry. I was dancing with a guy and he was suddenly our personal space, all angry as if someone stole his candy. He even had the nerve to punch the poor guy, knocking him out cold in the process. Thinking about it now, I was the one that was supposed to be angry, I was the one that

ILLICIT AFFAIRS EPILOGUE
LISA A YEAR LATER Have I just spent the absolute best year of my life? Yes. Best was such an understatement to describe the year I just had. Axel made sure to keep on his promise of being the best thing that has ever happened to me and each day was better than the last. And he also made sure to keep up with the promise of putting babies inside me during our honeymoon because here I was, heavily pregnant and the scan has confirmed that we were expecting twins. Axel has never allowed me to hear the end of it. He was always bragging about his skills and all those yadayada nonsense and that was how he was able to impregnate me during our three months honeymoon. Yeah, we did use three months for our honeymoon and I was sure we were the only couple that had done that. I wanted us to go back after a month but Axel had insisted that we spent three months and in the end, it was all because of me. He wanted me to learn all the things I've mentioned that I wanted to learn while making sure
ILLICIT AFFAIRS FINAL CHAPTER
AXELI still couldn't believe my eyes, just like I couldn't believe everything that had happened for the past 2 hours but one thing was real. Lisa was here by my side, wearing my ring as we walked out of the airport hand in hand and into the car that was already waiting for us.“But how did you do this?” I finally asked, speaking for the first time since I confirmed that she was the one sitting beside me on the plane, “how were you able to make that happen?” I asked as the car drove us to the hotel we booked for our honeymoon. “My brother-in-law helped me,” she sassed, leaning closer to me like she has been doing since we entered the car. It was like she couldn't believe that I was here and she needed to feel my body to confirm that. Not that I was complaining though. I'd gladly allow her to enter my body if that's why she needed it. “Your brother-in-law? Prince?” I asked incredulously suddenly slammed with the idea that Prince somehow knew of where she was all these while but I k
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 110
Lisa's POVMy disappearing act was the most unplanned and spontaneous decision I'd ever made in my life and now I'd realized that it was a poorly thought-out decision, one that only caused the people I loved more pain than the relief I'd expected it to bring them.As much as it literally blew my mind that I'd finally gotten married to the man I wouldn't have dared to dream of while I was growing up, I couldn't stop myself from feeling like a burden and a magnet of unfortunate events for him.It was bothersome that I could easily trace every misfortune that had befallen him back to myself, it was as though I was a catalyst for his misery over and over. It felt as though trouble trailed dangerously close behind me and affected everyone in my life, most especially Axel.I'd broken his heart and betrayed him, stolen a shipment that he'd worked tirelessly to procure, and made being a hostage a mentally challenging chore for him, and now I'd been oblivious to the fact that I was being used a

AXELSIX MONTHS LATERMy entire life had been turned upside down ever since Lisa disappeared from the hospital, it hurt like hell that the moment I’d gotten her back, I’d lost her without single trace. I’d been wild the day she disappeared, I was fucking angry at everyone and I raided the hospital angrily.I spat threats out and shook the very foundations of the entire hospital because I needed at least a single clue as to how Lisa had disappeared. But no single person had any reasonable information to offer me and my heart had sunk with fear, what if I’d lost her forever?I regretted having gone for the meeting that day and leaving her unattended, the two days when I didn't step out of the hospital she’d been perfectly safe and then the second I left, she was suddenly lost to the fucking wind? I blamed myself and feared what would become of me if I never found her.Every day for the last six months had been a recurring nightmare, I was living in a world where Lisa wasn't by my side an
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 108
Axel's POVEverything felt like a blur in the past two days, time seemed to be at a standstill and nothing made sense to me asides from updates on Lisa's fragile and critical health. I'd been seated for hours in the private waiting lodge of the secluded recovery room I paid for to ensure she was being catered to in the best conditions.It felt like no time had passed yet time had dragged aimlessly for the last forty-eight hours, I was always on edge whenever the doctor approached me with news, I didn't know how I'd react if I lost her— I'd lose my damn mind, that's for sure.In over 10 hours, the last news I'd gotten about Lisa was that she was still unconscious and her vitals were unstable. Since then, I'd shuffled between pacing up and down, running my hands through my hair in frustration, feeling like my heart would burst from the scare, and refusing to speak to anyone that dared to tell me I deserved rest— rest? I'll rest when Lisa is awake and stable.Involuntarily my mind drifte
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 107
Lisa’s POVMy heart ripped into a million pieces while I watched what had become of the day that I’d love to keep replaying in memory on a loop, my father has turned my wedding day which had just made me shed tears of unimaginable joy into a freaking shit hole.As he called to me with an arm stretched out, I felt a wave of disgust and hatred for him that was impossible to conceal. I was certain that my facial expressions gave away just how much I detested his guts as he stood before me.My heart kept beating uncontrollably and I could barely form the millions of questions that flew threw my mind, I needed to breathe but I didn't care to catch my breath as much as I terribly needed answers to those questions from my father.I couldn't believe the smug and unapologetic look he has on his face, it was as though he didn't care about hurting me as long as she had his way. I finally mustered the courage to speak but I was certain my voice would sound cracked and snotty because of how much I
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 106
Axel’s POVA serenading symphony of wedding songs that Lisa and I had chosen was being played on the organ and my heart squeezed in its position in my chest because I knew what the start of the music signaled. It had meant that in no time, Lisa would be walked down the aisle by her father toward me.As I looked down the empty aisle I noticed that Volkov’s men has moved from the positions outside the church and had joined my men indoors.They all seemed to be in sync for some reason, but I couldn't possibly guess with the excitement in my veins, still, I looked over at Prince and nodded toward them so that he’d observe them and u could focus on Lisa, and he’d understood what my gesture meant and nodded back at me sharply.I quickly shifted my mind from worrying about what might be irrelevant and focused on my wedding day again.I became tense yet excited at the prospect of looking at her beautiful face for the last time before she became my wife before this congestion. I stood before t
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 105
Axel's POV I was certain that I hadn't stopped smiling while I got dressed for the event of the day, I was thrilled beyond human comprehension. I'd retied my bowtie a couple of times because my mind kept wandering to Lisa like the hopelessly smitten man I was, I could barely focus on myself. I'd decided to wear a dark blue double-breasted suit instead of sticking with the conventional rite of black suits for the groom. I buttoned my jacket and dusted it proudly while I checked myself out in the mirror, Lisa was lucky to be getting married to an absolute snack, I laughed as the silly thought crossed my mind. It hit me again that very moment, I was truly getting married to the woman that made love feel so good I was certain we'd cheated the laws of the universe. I'd never thought I would be so certain that someone was made for me, my soulmate, and my entire world. Just then, a hand landed on my back and rubbed it aggressively and shook me out of the thoughts I'd immersed my mind in.
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 104
LISAIf anyone had told me that my love would become an ethereal dream after being a complete nightmare a month ago, I'd have spat bitterly in their face. But yet, here I was, living the life I wouldn't have dared to dream of after all the unfortunate events I'd been through.My nerves could barely contain my excitement and my heart was an endless leap for joy because I was about to get through the day I'd fantasized about a million times over the past month. I was beyond elated and I couldn't hide it, I didn't want to anyways, it could easily pass as the best day of my life.I was getting married to the man of my dreams, the man that surpassed my dreams and made life a living fantasy. It was I and Axel's wedding day, finally! I'd already said I do in my head several times but the thought of saying it as a vow before a church intrigued me greatly."Girllll! I can't fucking believe your luck with love, teach me a thing or two please?" Tana's excited voice broke through my thoughts and
