ILLICIT AFFAIRS Seventy-Three: On Her Knees
LISA"What are you doing, Red?"I heard Axel's voice and my heart stopped in my throat because his phone was still in my hands as I contemplated my decision to read the text or not.Fuck! I cursed in my head because I knew I'd fucked up big time by snooping around on his phone when he literally just expressed his unwavering trust for me. My racing thoughts on how to remedy the situation did no good in calming my erratically beating heart.My hands were sweaty as I panicked with my mind going through thoughts of what Axel would do if he found out that I was on the verge of betraying him. I couldn't blink from the fear that he would figure out what I'd been doing in his absence.I realized just how fucking dumb i'd been at that moment and I was genuinely scared that he would hate me all over again if he figured out what I'd been seriously contemplating.He'd definitely lose his shit and be extremely furious if he caught a whiff of the fact that I was trying to read the details of Prince

AXELI parked my car in a spot that was always reserved for me in the driveway of Prince's security corporation, he always had a long line of potential customers rolling in daily in hopes to hire him as their security detail so the driveway was packed to the brim most of the time, as a result, he'd reserved some parking spaces daily for clients he pledged a 100% loyalty to, like the Ivanovs.I opened the door of my car and stepped onto the curb, ready to strut into the building with my authoritative aura buzzing about me. In no time, I was outside the elevator that would take me to the fifth floor where Prince's office was located. I stepped in after it opened and set the elevator for the fifth floor while I leaned against the side of the elevator as it shut close and began moving.In no time, I was out of the elevator and I walked towards Prince's office. As you'd expect, on my way several workers shot a greeting or a polite bow my way as they recognized who I was. I opened the door

LISAThe past few days had been uneventful and underwhelming for me.It was filled with me battling the thoughts of choosing between my family and Axel which didn’t get easier as the days went by. I was slowly being drawn up into a shell of my own, one where I was constantly contemplating how to get out of this mess without hurting any of the people I loved and held dear to my heart.Well, today I decided that I wasn’t going to sulk aimlessly especially since Axel and I had planned to meet up after my last lecture of the morning at the school park.It was no secret that even emotional turmoil like what I’d been feeling recently was bound to feel much lighter and inconsequential when I got to spend some quality time with Axel and I was sure today wouldn’t be any different and in a way, that gave me hope to get through my morning lectures since I had something worth looking forward to after they’d ended.The professor prepared to leave the class after assigning topics to look out for in

Axel’s POVAs I drove to the school premises where I was meant to meet Red, I could barely contain my excitement because I’d get to see her finally after being away from each other for the past few days. I’d been in and out of meetings but I managed to make my schedule lighter today so that I’d be able to spare time to see her, I’d always make time for her because she was my everything.In a way I couldn’t phantom or explain, all my bad days and all the pressure I felt in my dangerous line of work were off my shoulders with every second I spent with her and that’s a feeling I needed especially since I was preparing for a very important shipment which had stressed me out for the last few days.In a few minutes, I’d arrived at the school premises and I began to find a place to park that was closest to the park where we’d agreed to meet. I was a few minutes later than the time we’d initially agreed to and knowing how Red kept to time no matter what, I was sure that she’d probably been wa

Lisa's POVA promise to be with me from the man I adored more than anything brought tears to my eyes, I knew that I’d gotten that promise out of him through manipulative means but somehow it still melted my heart and made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world as he proclaimed it to me.As much as I loved Axel, I was being manipulative because I had no other idea how to get myself out of the situation that had plagued me for days endlessly. Deep down, I knew that I would most likely end up regretting my decision to manipulate the man I love, but my moral compass had been dwindled dangerously by the winds of life that affected me recently and I just needed to fucking breathe for once.I hoped sincerely that when everything was over, I would still be the one he chooses unconditionally and stick by even though he’d have been hurt by me. I knew more than anything that it was crazy and probably selfish to hope for that, but I didn't choose to fall insanely in love with my enemy neithe

Axel’s POVWhen I set up a meeting earlier with Lisa on the school’s premises, she must’ve thought that we’d simply catch up on each other’s lives and then go our separate ways. Little did she know that I’d also planned a lovely candle-lit dinner for us back at my place, I enjoyed seeing her reactions to my surprises and that always moved me to do more and do better for her every single time.It was so easy for me to go out of my way while making preparations for her because there's nothing I wouldn't give just to see a smile on her gorgeous face. After the last dinner we had at the picnic, I took special note of how her eyes widened in adoration at seeing the candles and the setup so I decided there and then to organize more romantic dinners to make her heart leap.I had to make out time especially to prepare the meals for this dinner but I was genuinely excited while cooking because I couldn't wait to see her reaction after telling her that I’d prepared all the meals from scratch.

Lisa’s POVAs usual, my mind was trained on the plans I’d put in place to be a few steps ahead of Axel at all times concerning the shipments. It’d been three days since the blissful candle-lit dinner we shared and I’d made sure to put things in place rather than get caught up in the moment.I successfully managed to hack his phone and dub it such that I’d always have access to his texts and calls on my phone. However, over the last couple of days, I've listened in to all his calls and read all the texts he's gotten but I was unable to get any tangible information concerning the shipment despite that. He seemed to be receiving coded texts and calls that I couldn't possibly have figured out and that left me with nothing to report back to my family about the shipment.He tried his best to avoid speaking about the shipment or business in general via calls and he’d opt for face-to-face meetings if the need to talk about the shipment arose. This left me frustrated and confused as to how I’d

Axel's POVIt was hard to leave Lisa especially since she'd expressed just how much she'd miss me for the next three days that I'll be focused solely on the shipment. She had no idea just how much I would miss her while we were apart but I loved how affectionate she'd been recent, she didn't hold back and she was the cutest version of herself with me and I loved it because I knew no one else had access to her in that way, it was priceless.As I drove off, the one thought that dominated my mind was that I couldn't wait to get both our fathers to approve of our relationship. I didn't want to sneak around with her, I wanted to be with her with the blessing of our families and while resting assured that we could confidently look forward to a future together without fear of our families' rivalry separating us prematurely. The plan I'd crafted to pull this off was brilliant but first of all, I had to ensure that the shipment's pickup and delivery were perfectly smooth.In no time I was at P

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

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
