ILLICIT AFFAIRS Ninety-Eight
Axel’s POVHer eyes looked like the glossiest yet softest shade of brown as she looked at me, I hated how it made me feel sorry that I’d just told her off.A little pout formed on her lips and I turned away from her quickly, she knew exactly what she was doing by looking at me that way. She knew damn well that I could read and almost feel the meanings behind all of her facial expressions, even now.I dragged the chair that was pushed into my study table and sat in it, maybe if I managed to ignore her for long enough she'd take a fucking hint and leave my sight. I huffed angrily as I sat, the main source of my anger being that she still affected me, it scared me that she did.My ears itched to pick up the sound of her feet leaving the room and shutting the door behind her, but it never came. I stared blankly at the system in front of me, I pretended like I was going over some important numbers on the spreadsheet I’d displayed before myself.My attention span was suddenly unreliable as

AXELI covered my eyes with my palm as though I was ashamed of what we'd just done. If I was being sincere, it's the best thing that has happened to me since the betrayal, everything else had caused me a higher ratio of pain than pleasure in comparison to the exhilarating sex we'd just enjoyed.A low groan left my throat as I rubbed my eyes a little roughly, and moved away from where she lay beside me. We must've drifted off to sleep after tiring ourselves out because I felt slightly better rested just by having her in my arms for what must've only been a few minutes of deep sleep.Even with the knowledge of what we'd just done, and the sex flashbacks from our heated sex being replayed in my head, I couldn't believe that I'd let myself have sex with her. How did she know just how to trigger my primal lust and longing for her? Shit, I'm done for.As much as I wouldn't take back the fact that we'd just fucked, I couldn't stop myself from feeling like I'd betrayed myself. A feeling of se

Axel’s POVIt felt like my foolish heart was doing splits at the thought of marrying Lisa, while my brain was ironing out a million reasons why it would make sense- the spearheading reason was the fact that she’d betrayed me less than a month ago and made me feel immeasurable pain as a result.That didn't stop my heart from doing summersaults at the fact that I didn't have to lift a finger this time around, and somehow we’d gotten the blessings I would've given anything to get from both of our families. The offer felt surreal to me, I could hardly believe my ears when my father said it, and even now I doubted I’d heard right.I had to stop myself from asking my father to repeat himself, mostly because he hated having to do that so I just had to believe that I’d heard him right. I'm certain that anyone that came across me at any the moment would’ve been able to see the grave shock that had overtaken my features.Right after he’d said it, words failed me when I tried to find a suitable

LISAAs I stepped out of the Uber that brought me home, my mind didn't do me any favors by replaying the past few days in my head through my mind's eye all over again. When I left Axel, it felt as though my heart had gotten heavier as I got farther away from him, it felt as though all hope was lost for us and it hurt like hell.My emotions had been on an unending rollercoaster from the minute Axel kidnapped me from my hotel room, and somehow even after leaving him, the rollercoaster ride was still in full motion. He might've thought that he didn't torture me, but being with him and yet being apart was definitely the worst form of torture.I could hardly process everything that has happened and my entire mind was a chaotic mess as every day went by, even now I had no idea if Axel would ever forgive me for the unimaginable pain I'd caused him.After taking in a deep breath, I pushed the gates of the house open and walked in gingerly. The truth is that I was hesitant because, with my fam

Axel's POVI'd finally gotten away from Lisa but I didn't get the breath of fresh air I thought It'd bring me, and that left me feeling somewhat disappointed. I was always on edge around her and my emotions had a mind of their own, but still, her presence was enough to give me some form of comfort even though I wouldn't admit it with a knife to my neck.Just before the drive home, I'd gone to the safe house with Prince to confirm that the shipment has been returned and everything was intact. Even though everyone was convinced that it was intact, I needed to confirm for myself else I'd keep suspecting that Volkov had played a trick on us.At least the knowledge that we'd successfully retrieved the shipment gave me a sense of fulfillment, everything I'd battled through while keeping Lisa hostage wasn't futile after all. I knew that all of the emotions that threatened my sanity didn't do so without accomplishing the mission I'd initially set out to achieve, that fact calmed my raging ner

Axel's POVI kept dragging Lisa away from the lecture hall while that buffoon that had his hands around her earlier just kept staring at us in confusion, he was so fucking lucky I'd held back the urge to carve his stupid face into the ground.She looked at me with an equally confused expression that mirrored that of her unfortunate new friend, but it didn't bother me one bit. I walked as fast as I could while I pulled her along behind me and just before we got to the car it seemed like she wanted to protest because she'd stiffened her arm."Axel, I'm no—"I cut her off and paused to look at her, "No talking, just follow me." I said in an annoyed tone and dragged her along again.She kept quiet immediately after I asserted my dominance and I was content that she did because I wasn't looking forward to any back-and-forth banter with her while we were still on school grounds.In no time we were at the car, I used my free hand to press the button on my key that opened the car and then I w

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.

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 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

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

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.
