View MoreAXELL’s POVThose two bastards.Bryson looked at my face then he turned around and also saw them.“Ah, for fuck sake can this night get anything worse? Seeing those two just ruined my mood”“Tell me about it.. Let's go”Immediately we took a step forward, I heard Paolo’s annoying voice.“Hey, Axell! My man”They both walked close to us, and he forcefully shook my hands.Lucrecia kept avoiding eye contact, and I stared at her with so much disgust in my heart. I so much hated her guts. So much.“Hey, Silva. Did you drive in with Axell?”Silva nodded and Paolo smiled.He has always been friends with Silva, so I am sure he hated seeing him with me.“I see, is this some kind of bonding or what..”“Paolo, if you do not have anything sensible to say, then we will meet each other inside. Huh”We walked away leaving them there, and I was so glad I shunned him. Fuck, I hated his guts so much!As we got inside I was mesmerized by how beautiful the settings of the place looked.They had a poster
LUCRECIA’s POVI have been unable to meet Axell since the day he arrived in Mexico all because of Paolo.I have been indoors, simply because Paolo has trust issues.I hate him so much.If Axell leaves and I do not get to see him then Paolo is to be blamed and I won't let him off easily.I heard footsteps approaching my room, and I immediately shot my eyes like I was sleeping.I didn't want to speak to anyone especially not my mother.I felt hands on my thighs up to my ass, and I immediately opened up my eyes.Paolo? What is he doing here? And with a bag in his hands.“What are.. You? What are you doing here?”“What do you mean by that?”“I heard that the Corleone is hosting a party at his resort later tonight, yeah? Shouldn't you be getting ready?”“You seem to know a lot, huh? Well, then I suppose you know the party is for Axell, right?”“Is it? I had no idea bout that”He smirked and then placed the bag on the table.I knew the party was for Axell, and I must attend it. I need to se
AXELL’s POV “Are you sure about this, Bryson? I mean we might be making a mistake” “Do you have anyone else in mind? I mean he is the only one I can think of” “I mean.. I do not.. But..but, how are we even sure he will take it?” “Why wouldn’t he? You said it yourself that he is always aiming for high positions and power, right? So come on, he will” “Fine, drive faster” “This is fast enough, Axell. We will get there soon” “We told him we would be there by 1 pm, this is almost 1 pm, and we are nowhere near his house” “Just calm down, Axell. We are almost there” I was still in doubt about what we were about to do, and I didn't have many choices. At least he is better than Paolo. When we arrived there it was 12:52 pm, and I was so glad that at least we arrived 8 minutes earlier. The guards directed us to where he was. He was at the back of the house, sitting on a chair with some files on the table in front of him. He looked so concentrated in what he was doing
AXELL’s POVThe other men were not having it, and I swear they were ready to throw hands at me. They stood up to their feet and were screaming at the top of their voices, while Bryson and I kept laughing.Silva kept staring at me, and I wanted to know what he was thinking about. “Silence!!!”The godfather screamed and they all kept mute. Wow, the power this man holds.. Must be nice.“In front of these young boys, y’all are embarrassing yourselves in the name of trying to have an opinion? What do you men want? That we force Axell to take a position he doesn't want, or what? Come on I am all ears”No one said anything then he looked at Silva.“Silva, I noticed you have been oddly quiet, mind to share with us your thoughts about all of these. Everyone else please take your seats”They sat down, and Silva stood up. The youngest Don, must feel so good about himself. I should have dealt with him even more when I had the chance to.“I do not have much to say, Corleone, but all I will say i
AXELL’s POVThey stared and murmured amongst themselves then the godfather stood up on his feet and everyone else including me did the same thing.“Take your seats. It is fine”He waved and we all sat back down.The godfather is a a man in his late 50s I presume, but he looks way younger and agile. He has always been on top of his game and is always ready to stand on business, and I wonder if he is still like that.Before I left, when my parents died, he came and told me everything was gonna be fine. He promised to find to bring justice for them, but I wonder what happened.I hope they have not made him corrupt and biased. “Once again we welcome Axell Leonardo to our midst. He left Mexico 5 years ago as a weak and terrified boy but has returned as a strong man. Your father must be so proud of you wherever he is, Axell”I looked around and saw all the fake smiles of the Dons especially Silva.I bowed my head and thanked the godfather for the praises, but I wonder how he arrived at the
AVERY’s POV“Oh my God, Axell.. Why would you even say that?”“I don't know, but once you ended that call on me, I knew there was trouble”“Axell, it's just been a lot.. Like a lot, and I have been dealing with so much”I don't want to tell him about Billy or Shawn, not yet, especially not on the phone.“You wanna tell me about it?”“Nah. But, I will once we get to see”“Wanna Facetime? I will call you”He didn't wait for my answer and just quickly ended the call.He called me on Facetime and the minute I answered he smiled beautifully.He turned on the lights in his room and showed me around.Wow.. It looked so huge. He had to convince me it was a penthouse inside a hotel before I believed. He went back to his room, took off his shirt, and smirked at me.“You are such a naughty boy, Axell”“I miss you, baby”He wrapped himself with the bed cover, and I did too.“I miss you too, Axell”“I swear I wish I was next to you..”“Don't you say anything weird? I am on the bed with Logan”“Co
AVERY’s POVI quickly stood up from my chair in shock and stared at Mrs Morgan.When she dropped the call, she stared at me and looked at Billy.“What is wrong, Mrs Morgan? Please, talk to me”“Miss Avery.. Miss Avery.. The school..”“Yes, I am listening, what happened? What is wrong? Please, talk to me, ma'am”“My husband..”She stood up but staggered, and fell to the ground.I pulled her back up and stared at her curiously.“What is wrong, ma'am?”“My husband said he saw a written letter in Billy’s bag..”“Yeah, what about it? What happened?”I was so anxious that I wished I could read her thoughts.“The context of the letter is someone convincing Billy to abort the pregnancy..”“Why would a letter like that be in her bag..”I immediately opened my mouth in shock, when I realized where she was driving at.Wait, does this mean the father of Billy’s child is someone from school? But that is not possible. Her classmate? Would they be that dumb? “Miss Avery, I think the monster who mad
AVERY’s POVI know that voice. Oh, God? I know that voice.I didn't turn around, but the footsteps kept getting louder.“Avery.. I.. I was in doubt when I first saw you earlier in the morning. It was you, right?”Slowly I turned around and tears immediately gathered on my eyelids. God, we didn't talk about this. Why all of a sudden? What is he doing here?“Avery, can you hear me? It's been so long.. How..”I lifted my hand and he immediately kept quiet.“Don't you dare speak to me”I turned around, but he held my hand.With rage in my eyes and body, I turned around and slapped him heavily on the face.“How dare you touch me! You piece of shit! Stay away from me”“Avery, please, listen to me”“Shawn! Don't you dare ever lay a finger on me again! Never!”I decided to walk back to the ward, but he kept following me.When I got close to Billy’s wardroom. I turned around and looked back at him. Shawn has always been my biggest mistake. I always prayed at times begging God to keep me off
AVERY’s POV(FOUR DAYS LATER)“We are so grateful, Teacher. You have been with us since this incident occurred. We are indebted to you, Miss Avery”I nodded and Hugged her.“I promise you that we will find the person who did this to her, okay? Just put your mind at rest, and trust me”“Why would anyone do this to such a little girl? Why? Why! Did I fail as a mother to teach my daughter the ways of life?”“Do not blame yourself, Mrs Morgan, please, and please stop crying”I pulled her back into Billy’s ward. Billy wrote down a suicide note. She apologized to me and her parents. She said she could not face the shame of being a pregnant student, so she would rather end her life. She said the father of the child had stopped answering her calls, and whenever he saw her, he avoided her. She took in poison, but luckily her father found and brought her to the hospital before the poison entered her veins and blood. It was a close call, but the doctors were able to flush it out from her bod
AVERY’s POV(INAUDIBLE CHATTERING)I stood in front of the classroom writing on the board but I was getting frustrated by the noise.‘I am getting tired! Lord, give me some strength’I whispered under my breath. I turned around and stared at them and shook my head.“Okay, class here is the deal either y’all zip it or I deduct 20 marks from everyone's test”They immediately kept quiet and I nodded with fulfilment. “That was what I thought”I smirked, turned around, and continued writing notes on the blackboard. It was never my dream to be a high school English teacher but for a 27-year-old orphan and single mother, life did not provide me with many choices.The bell rang and I was the happiest. Yes! I hate my job.One of my students walked up to me, she held my hands and smiled faintly.“Miss Avery, I can't wait to see you tomorrow, Bye!”She ran off after saying that and I just stared in awe.Well, if there was one thing I was proud of, it was the fact that I made a name for myself ...
