AXELL’s POV We arrived at the party and were surprisingly welcomed in a grand style. Cameras, lights, and guards. I never expected that, but I didn't let it get to my head. All these people know how to get into your head and make you start feeling important. “Yuck.. I can't wait to leave” Bryson exclaimed softly, and I grinned. We wore fresh tailored blue suits and black ties. Bobby arranged that for us. I tied my hair to the back, while Bryson just let his fly, like the flyboy that he is. “Bryson, just enjoy the moment and smile for the camera. They are watching, man” “Oh, please. Remember, all I said earlier, huh?” “About what?” He sighed and shook his head. “What is it, man?” “No matter what they say to you, try to be respectful and do not try to be adamant. Don't give them any reason to fault you” “Are you talking about the god..” “Yes, Axell, I am talking about the godfathers” “Right, right. I got it” “Good, now move” We waved at the cameras a
AVERY’s POV The beach was great and we had so much fun, but it would have been better if I spoke to Axell, but I haven't heard a single word from him since he left. “Girl, what are you thinking about? Are you drunk already?” Camila and I decided to get tipsy with some liquor. “Yeah, I am. Fuck it is so late, we need to go to bed. I wonder if Axell is fine wherever he is” I said again and sighed. “Girl, it is the middle of the night and we are both drunk, can you please, stop thinking about a man who is probably sucking a girl's clit right now and focus on us!” “Girl what the fuck..” We both had a very good laugh, and I wheezed so loudly. “Camila, you are a fucking bitch! I think I have created enough scenarios in my head, please do not add to it” “I am telling the truth, Avery. He has no reason for not calling you. They left so early, and it was not a very long trip. Okay, Bryson called me and said they have been busy, fine, I accept that, but his business would
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 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 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 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
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
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 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
