ILLICIT AFFAIRS Sixty-Two: A couple or something like that
LISAI woke up feeling refreshed as I'd never felt before. For a minute after I woke up, I was disconnected and lost because I didn't understand where I was. The white walls and interiors didn't feel familiar at all and I was immediately discombobulated before I remembered that I had slept over in Axel's house and I had woken up in his bed. I don't remember ever waking up in someone else's bed.I smiled in contentment as I stretched on the bed and I expected my hand to meet the solid frame that was Axel's body but my hands met nothing. Sleep cleared from my eyes and I looked around the room to find him gone. I stood up and my first check was in the bathroom but he wasn't there. I quickly freshened up before going out of the bathroom and I went in search of him. The smell of fresh toast and brewing coffee immediately assaulted my nose when I stepped out of the bathroom and I took a deep breath to inhale the scent deeply. I started to walk in the direction the aroma was coming from a

LISAAxel IvanovAxel.Ivanov.That guy had incinerated every part of being, leaving only what I feel for him and the memories of us together in its wake. It's been three days since that night at his house and it's been nothing more than euphoric bliss.I've been thinking about him a lot.In fact, he was the only one I'd been thinking about.Here I was again, I was sitting in front of my vanity and I was supposed to be getting ready but guess who was getting all distracted because of the thoughts of Axel? Me!I don't know where we were headed, especially since we have to keep things under the wrap for now but damn, thinking about Axel was making me warm and fuzzy and I just can't get him off my mind. He's like a virus taking over my body in the best possible way, but this virus was dangerous, and I still fucking love it.I know what we're doing is risky but we couldn't control our feelings and who would have thought that there'd be one day when I'd feel this way about Axel?I was supp

I'd never gotten used to parting ways with Tana once we arrived at the lecture halls, but I returned her small wave as she walked away because I knew I'd see her real soon.The wind was having a field day, blowing through rustling leaves and ruining my perfectly laid hair as I walked toward my lecture hall.I loved the weather, but it had its unpleasant quirks, ones that made it somewhat annoying.After walking in long strides to avoid unnecessary chit-chat with passersby, not like I’d ever involve myself in conversing with anyone in the first place, I was finally seated right in time for the lecture.As if on cue, the lecturer waltzed in a few minutes after I'd set up my laptop and greeted the class casually.The lecture went by in a breeze mostly because I was immersed and intrigued enough to enjoy every bit of it, I loved being a brilliant mind in the tech space.The lecturer left the class with a few students trailing behind him and badgering him with questions, while I stayed put

LISAI enjoyed the ride so much because Devin played one of my favorite love song medleys the whole way, I'm certain Axel tipped him on my music taste, he knew exactly how to make a girl giddy in love.We pulled into a park shortly and I felt the car coming to a halt, I was staring out the window in awe since I'd never had the opportunity to spend a day at a park, and somehow my inner child felt seen and understood.My Childhood memories were an endless loop of violent and tedious training sessions with men thrice my age because my family put the mafia's organization before everything else and I was no exception.I stared out the window like a child watching the ice cream man's truck drive by, I'd dreamt of visiting a park someday but I had no idea it would feel like an out-of-body experience when I finally did."Ma'am, we're here" Devin's voice broke through my thoughts as he opened his door and walked towards mine."Thank you so much, Devin, I enjoyed the ride- and the music" I wink

LISA"I'll be your lover and server for the day mademoiselle," he said teasingly as he rose from his seat across me.I blushed so hard, I must've looked as red as a freshly harvested tomato.He shot me a low sultry glance as he noticed my blush and I looked away shyly while he opened the picnic baskets to reveal mouth-watering mini shrimp rolls which I assumed would serve as appetizers.God, this man was a genius."Here, beautiful." He handed me a small saucer with three mini shrimp rolls and curtseyed like an actual waiter making me laugh.No matter how many times he called me beautiful, I'd always feel my heart skip because I truly felt seen, beautiful, and whole in his presence."Why, thank you handsome" I made sure the compliment sounded like a tease since he was intentionally being one as well.I grabbed a mini shrimp roll and stuffed it in my mouth, it tasted just as amazing as it looked and I knew I was in for a picnic I'd never forget."Wine?" He asked as the cork of the Caber

As every minute passed, I realized that there was nowhere else I'd rather be than Axel, and in a way that scared me while equally making my heart race.I was having what would easily count as the best day of my life while I watched him make small talk and smile at his weird jokes, and as you'd expect I smiled in return because I was paying more attention to him rather than the words leaving his mouth.Every movement, every feature, every flaw, every detail, and every single thing about Axel appealed to me in a way that almost seemed obsessive, but knowing that he was just as in love with me brought me an unmatched relief."Lisa? Lisa? Babe?" His deep voice barely broke through my thoughts."Yeah?" I replied absent-minded, still trying to push past my thoughts and focus on what he was saying."Are you having a good time love? You've been so quiet" His brows furrowed in confusion as he stared at me trying to deduce my mood based on my expression."I'm having the time of my life, I'm qui

LISAWe walked into the house with our arms intertwined and I kept bumping into him slightly as we went up the stairs that led to his room. I loved that being tipsy made me bolder yet I would be able to savor every moment because I was perfectly sane.We'd barely even entered his room when his mouth was suddenly on mine and he was kissing me. He kissed me slowly, not the ferocious one that I was used to from him, as if he was trying to savor this moment. It was a very slow kiss, one full of passion, like communication of souls, like he was enjoying doing this and it just wasn't foreplay or build-up to sex for him. I couldn't get used to this; couldn't get used to the fact that Axel was kissing me as if I was a treasure, a trophy, and not just someone he was with for the sake of kissing alone. I moaned into his mouth at the intensity of the pleasure his tongue was invoking in me, and the sound caused his hand to tighten around my neck as he dug his hips into me so I'd feel the budge

LISAAfter reading Angel's text I begin to feel very uneasy as several thoughts race through my mind, the most prominent thought in my mind was that she had found out about I and Axel's continued involvement and she had told the rest of the family.I swallowed deeply as I wondered how furious my father and brother would be, I wouldn't hear the last of it and they'll definitely make sure to ruin everything Axel and I have worked so hard for.The mere thought of losing him sent dreadful shivers down my spine and I sat up in bed while still staring at the text across my screen.However, for my sanity, I convinced myself that since Axel and I had barely dated for a week she couldn't possibly have found out about us.With that in mind, I managed to calm my nerves and think of a way to get home since she insisted that there was an urgent matter at hand in the text she'd sent.I sat in bed and my mind wandered as far as it could just so that I could come up with a better reason why Angel wou

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
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 109
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
