AXELL’s POV Fuck, why is this bitch calling me right now? I didn't answer, and it ended, but my phone rang again and Avery stared at me like she knew something was up. She looked at my phone and then back to my face. “Are you not going to answer your call?” “It isn't important” “Someone calling you this late? I say it is really important and you should answer it” I answered it, and with the looks on Avery’s face, she knew it was a lady. “What do you want?” “Hey, I am calling to confirm if you are still coming in tomorrow” The car was silent and the volume of my phone was up and Avery could hear everything. She just kept laughing. “That is not your business, Lucrecia” I ended the call and Avery rushed out of the car pushing my legs. She didn't walk back inside the club, but she was walking down the road. I ran after her. “Where are you going, Avery?” “Home. I will text Camila. I just need to get a taxi” “At this hour. Come on, please. I know you h
AVERY’s POV We quickly opened the door. We saw Camila and Bryson kissing deeply. It looked so good that I left my mouth wide open. I looked at Axell’s face, and he looked pretty stunned too. “Okay, this is so weird” He pointed at them and said, and I couldn't agree less. “Yes, it is” “You guys get in. It is quite late. We should head back home” We helped them inside while I caressed Camila’s back. Oh, she looked so tipsy. “I am so sorry that we weren't able to enjoy the party because of me. I am very sorry” Axell whispered into my ears, and I blushed hard. “I am sorry, too” We smiled at each other. In no time we got back to the house. Bryson and Axell both insisted that we spend the night with them. It was a long deliberation, as I didn't plan on sleeping at his place tonight, especially not with my son there too. Camila was so tipsy, she was cool with whatever I picked. When we got into the house, I met the chef and she took me to the room he was in.
AXELL’s POV My bags were already packed, but getting out of bed was the problem. I didn't want to stop cuddling Avery. She felt so soft and small. I will miss her a lot! “Hey, man. Wake up! Axell!!! Hey, get up!!!” “Oh, fuck you Bryson” I held Avery tighter and wrapped her body with the sheets. “Man, you know it is a long trip, yeah? So get out the bed” “I get it, Dad. I will. It is just 3 hours man!” “Whatever, man. I will be waiting for you” “Oh, for God’s sake” Avery was still asleep, but I couldn't resist her tempting lips. I placed my lips on hers and grabbed her hair. She opened her eyes and chuckled. “You never get tired, do you?” “Never. And you look so beautiful, sleeping” “Oh, please. That is enough. You almost took my ability to walk last night” I rolled my eyes, and I swear she is exaggerating. Fine, maybe I went a little bit overboard with the sex thing last night, but it is only because I will miss her so much. “That is not true, bab
AVERY’s POV Camila, me, and Logan walked back home with long faces. When we got inside the house we sat on the couch and Logan turned on the television. Ah, I miss him already. I looked at Camila’s face and I knew she was thinking about the same thing. About Bryson. “Mummy, you wanna watch Moana?” I smiled at him and nodded. It was Saturday, so I was hoping that we would do something fun. “Y’all wanna go to the beach or something?” Camila blurted out and it felt like she read my mind. “Yes!!!” Logan and I quickly answered. “Cool.. Um.. Do you know if there is any beach around here, Avery?” “I mean there should be” I thought about it and I realized that I had never really been doing anything fun since I moved into this house. It was work, home, or visiting the park with Logan. Wow! Being with Axell has changed me I guess. Oh, I miss him. “Girl, please, tell me you are thinking about the beach and not about Axell” Camila said loudly and Logan
AVERY’s POV He looked shocked and left his mouth open. He never expected me to scream at him, but I also did it unknowingly. I would never raise my voice at him intentionally. He is way too precious and cute to be shouted at. I only want him to grow up and become a judge or a defendant, so he would put bad people in jail, bad people like the ones who murdered his grandparents.. My parents. “Logan, I am so sorry, my love..” “I just want you to be happy, mummy” “And I am.. Okay, I promise you that I am happy. Trust me. I don't need to get married to anyone to be happy” I remember how Shawn and I used to plan our lives back then too. We would talk about getting married, but see how it ended. He left me and since then I have never thought about marriage.. Like ever! He bowed his little head and I knew something was bothering him. He definitely had something he wanted to talk about with me. “What is wrong, big guy?” “I just want a daddy and I want him to be Axel
AVERY’s POV I stared in the same direction Camila was looking, but I didn't see anyone. “Who are you looking at, Camila?” I asked out of curiosity. “What do you mean, Avery? Can't you see Travis over there?” “You mean Travis as in your ex-boyfriend, Travis?” “Yes, that Travis, and we didn't break up” I looked at her angrily. What the fuck was that? “What do you mean by you guys didn't break up? Bitch be for real!” We stood without moving an inch because she was scared of him seeing her, and that just made my heart boil even more. “We decided to take a stroll around the beach, Camila. We came here to have fun not to hide from your ex or whatever he is” She looked at me, lifted her head, and then looked back at me. “You know what? You are right. We came here purely to have fun and should not let anyone distract us. So, let go” “Now you are talking. Who gives a fuck about Travis. You have Bryson, remember?” She smiled and looked away. “Well.. We are not y
AXELL’s POV Fuck! How long has it been? Everything looks so different, man! Wow. Bryson left me, to go get some water. I saw him coming back and my eyes lit up. “Hey, man. For a minute I thought you left me” “Left you, to where? Come on, are you ready?” “No, I am not” “Great, now let's go” I smiled and we walked side to side. We held our bags in our hands and I looked around the airport while walking outside to our car. Bryson had everything set already. That is why I always have him by my side. I can't do anything without him. He is such a gem. “Man, do not tell me that we are going to see them today” I said, curiously looking at Bryson’s face. “Well, I doubt that too. They didn't even call me or did they call you?” “Nah, they didn't” Well, I guess that means we don't have to go over there today, yeah? Just go to our hotel and rest. I need to give Avery a call. I had missed her calls because I was asleep. We got to the parking lot and saw Bobby. Fu
AXELL’s POV I turned around and saw Bryson standing close to the entrance to the room I picked. “Brys..” “What did you say?” “I will be downstairs, sir” Bobby quickly read the room and left. “Bryson, listen to me” “No! Do not tell me to listen to you, man. What do you mean by that? You just asked Bobby if he trusted me!” “You need to calm down” “Oh, really? Why? Do you think I set you up or what? Come on man we have gone past that. I don't think I have any reason to do that to you” “Man, hey.. Please, listen to me” I moved closer to him, but he moved backward. “I left my life just to be with you, Axell. I always put your interests before mine. I have always thought about you before making any decisions, and here you are doubting me!” “Oh for God's sake, Shut up, Bryson! Keep shut and listen to me! I only did that so it wouldn't look like I am suspecting anyone else” “What? What do you even mean by that?” “Come here” I pulled him in and locked the doo
AXELL’s POVAvery called and told me that she and Shawn are planning on running a DNA test on Shawn and Logan. “Has it gotten to that?”“Yes, it is, Axell. I have always had my doubts. No one in my family or Shawn’s is colorblind, so how is Logan colorblind?”“Avery, so if the father isn't Shawn then who is?”“I don't know, Axell, but I would be so glad if he isn't. You wanna come along with us to get the results?”“Have you both run the test? We will give the doctors samples today”I followed her and we did all the necessary things. We got back and I told her I needed to fly to Mexico to meet with the godfathers with some evidence against Lucrecia and Paolo, so they would be punished.She insisted on coming with me, and we took Logan along. It was more like a family trip, and I’d promised Logan that I would fly him in my private jet.Everyone else followed, Bryson and Camila.We stayed at the same penthouse that I and Bryson stayed over the last time. Paolo had no idea when we arri
AVERY’s POVHe stared at me with a face full of surprise, but I overheard all he said last night, and I cried so much in my sleep. I also had a dream of waving and saying goodbye to my parents. I had finally found their killer, so I had fulfilled my biggest heart desire.“Avery..”“All these times, Axell, you were the one behind their death and you never said a word! You are a beast!”“Babe, please hear me out, please. I.. I.. I am also a victim. My parents were killed and I needed to avenge them. Your parents were no saints either. They had a hand in my parent's death, but I didn't kill them, Paolo did”I stared at him. How was I supposed to react? I can't believe I lost my memory for weeks and let Shawn get close to me. I didn't remember anyone, including my son. I can't believe I pushed Axell down through the balcony. What if something bad had happened to him?I stared at him and how helpless he looked. In my sleep, I heard him cry himself to sleep. When I woke up I saw him holding
AXELL’s POVI had several cuts, and I struggled to get back on my feet. I think I broke my leg.“Avery!”I screamed but there was no answer.Did she run away? That was the first thought that came to my head.I saw Logan running toward me, and I told him to go get Bryson and Camila.I was bleeding so much and I couldn't stand on my feet.My guards arrived and they lifted me up to the car.I saw Bryson walking down the stairs with Avery in his hands.“What.. What happened to her..”I tried getting out of the car but fell on my knees.The guards held me back up, but I was determined to go to Avery.“Hey man, I think she passed out when she watched you fall. We need to get the both of you to the hospital right now, get in”“Bryson.. How..”“Axell, get in the car now. You need to see a doctor”I got in and he followed behind us with Camila and Logan.When we arrived I pleaded with them to first attend Avery, but they said we were both important.We got treated in the same ward and were lef
SHAWN’s POVThe truth is I never expected a day like this to come. When I received the call from Camila asking me to come to the hospital I was surprised. Feels like Avery never really moved on from me. She must still be crazy over me. I will use this to my advantage. That dude of hers is popular and has lots of money, I will make sure to extort him using Avery.She has always been very useful to me ever since we met. I saw someone better and I left her pregnant, it was wrong of me, but it isn't new, and I am back now. I saw her son, Logan, or should I say our son. I am not here for him though, I am here to make my life better, so he can wait.“Avery, is there anything you want?”“No. Who are you to me?”Camila was behind me, so I wasn't free enough.“Well, I am..”“He is a friend to you.. A friend”Camila quickly said and I nodded too. This bitch. ****************It was late and I left. I promised to come to see her the next day and she agreed.The next day I came and the day after
AXELL’s POVI was so close to tears, but I had to be strong. I held Logan in my arms, he had been crying heavily upon realizing that his mother didn't recognize him. I can not believe this. How did she forget about all of us including her name? I stared at the doctor and he said we should all follow him to his office.“Mum.. Mummy..”Logan pointed with tears rolling down his cheeks at Avery who kept staring at us in awe.“It is fine, baby. It is fine”I patted on his back and calmed him down.When we got to the doctor’s office, I could see the pain in his eyes. He probably didn't expect that himself.“Mr Axell I can imagine how you and your family must be feeling right now”Camila was wailing heavily, Bryson hugged her and tried to keep her calm.“Logan, mummy will be fine and back, okay? I will make sure of that, huh?”The doctor said and Logan nodded. “Doctor, what is the way forward right now? She doesn't remember anyone, not even her name”“I know that Mr Axell. I guess she was
AXELL’s POV“She came around and told me about my doctor's appointment, which I agreed to go with her. She angrily left the room and said she would wait for me outside, but then I heard a loud thud outside the room. When I ran out I was lying unconscious down the stairs. I think she slipped”She said with a little tear rolling down her cheeks.I looked away, but then..“Wait. The farmhouse doesn't have stairs, does it?”She shook her head.“I wasn't in the farmhouse. I was in your room..”“In my room doing what?”I angrily said to her, and she moved away from me.“I thought about doing some cleaning for you..”“I have enough help around the house to take care of that, you bitch!!!”I screamed and Bryson held me back.“Calm down, man”“If she wasn't in my room, Avery wouldn't have gone into the house and she wouldn't be in this situation now! I also blame myself because I told her to go get you! Ever since you came into our lives..”I fell to the ground again and tears rolled down my c
AVERY’s POVMy phone rang and it was Shawn! This fool keeps calling at the wrong time. “What.. What do you mean?”“Lucrecia, do not play dumb with me. I overheard you on the phone talking on the phone”“Shit!”She exclaimed, but I kept staring at her angrily.“Well, you heard it then. And so what?”There was not a single sign of remorse from her whatsoever. She looked more relaxed than I expected. Her baby bump hadn't started showing yet, but her face was changing. The fact she was in Axell’s room was also annoying me.“Axell and Paolo killed your parents years ago. Now that I think about it, Avery. I think the reason why Axell is with you is because he feels bad about what he did”My vision immediately went blurry and I was unable to speak. I swallowed back my words and my heart began beating fast. I hope she is telling lies. I overheard her saying different things, and now she is trying to twist it. “I always had my doubts that the child you are carrying isn't for Axell, and I pr
AVERY’s POVI smiled because I wasn't sure what else I was supposed to do.Funny how I wasn't shocked. I already knew it would end that way. He already told me how hungry Lucrecia always is whenever she wants anything, so of course this is bound to happen. Either true or not, I knew the result would turn out this way.I looked at her face and caught her smirking at me. Oh, she looked so proud. I won't give her the pleasure she is looking for. Pregnant for Axell or not, he is mine. She is in for a long run.“Thank you, doctor. We will take our leave”I immediately stood up and walked away from the office.I overheard Camila telling Axell to chill and not follow me. She followed behind me and we both hugged each other beside the car.“Camila.. What is happening? This.. This is..”“I know, girl. But the truth is right now Axell needs you even more. You can not do this to him. Lucrecia feels she has won but you can not lose your man to her”“Camila! I already did! Didn't you hear what th
AXELL’s POV“Babe, it is okay, alright? I am right here with you”Avery said as she smiled and whispered in my ear.I nodded and smiled back at her. She is such a princess and a wonderful lady. I never thought I would love another lady as much as I love Avery, especially after what Lucrecia did to me. She turned me into a beast, but now I have found my princess and I am never letting her go.Lucrecia’s phone rang, but she didn't answer it. It rang for the third time but she still didn't answer.Bryson, Camila, Avery, and I then stared at her but she tried avoiding our eyes and looked away.“Won’t you answer your call, huh? It has been ringing for a while now, you should answer it”Camila blurted out and Lucrecia turned around and looked at her.“It is my phone, and I will answer if I want to, mind your business”“You this bitch! We have been trying to mind our business before you came into our lives! Don't fucking talk to me like I am scared of you!”Camila said angrily then stood up
