AVERY’s POV I turned around and saw Logan standing by the door touching his stomach while staring at me curiously. “What did you say, Logan?” “You said you will be having an affair with your boss, right? And I know your boss is Axell, right?” I looked at Camila, but she didn't say a word, she just hid her face in her hands. I walked to Logan and hugged him, then I went on my knees. “Hey baby, you must have heard wrongly, Okay? We never said anything like that, okay? I never did” Logan nodded his head but the look he gave me with his eyes said something different. AXELL’s POV When I walked back into the house after parking the car I had a big smile on my face and one of my chef, marina was the one who welcomed me. “Sir, where have you been? Your dinner last night got bad. I had to pour it out this morning, sir” I chuckled and then titled my head around the sitting room. “I had something better than dinner, chef. Now, where is my friend?” She hesitated, but
AVERY’s POV I woke up in the morning feeling tired and angry. Why am I angry so early in the morning? I asked myself calmly. I checked the time on my phone and it was just 5 am on a Monday Morning. “Now, I know why I am angry. It is a new week to go to work and pretend like I am happy” I growled and then stared at the text Axell sent to me since Saturday evening, after I replied he did not say anything else. Since Saturday not a call or text from him. I even stared out my window but he wasn't there. The whole of Sunday passed but I didn't sight him at all. He promised to come over for dinner, but didn't show up. I guess he got what he wanted and decided to ditch me right? Did I just fall for his tricks and lies? Did he use me? Oh, God. I do not have the strength to regret anything anymore, please, Lord Jesus. I got emotional and remembered all what we shared in the hotel that night, and all the endownment he showered on me that night. “Was everything a lie
AVERY’s POV I wasn't sure how I was supposed to feel after hearing him say that so confidently. Like what did he mean? “Oh. I am sorry, I will leave” “Avery, that is not what I mean, please wait” He ran and grabbed me from behind, I pushed his hands away but he pulled me in for a hug. I wiped off my tears and didn't hug him back. “I am sorry if I offended you in any way, okay? I didn't mean it that way I swear. I just have a lot of things going on with me right now..” I broke the hug and then looked at his face. “It is fine if you do not want to tell me about it. It is all good” “That is not it, Avery. Come on” “Do not touch me, Axell” I exclaimed and he flinched. I turned around to leave, but he held my hand and pulled me back. “Hey, how about.. Please listen to me, how about I explain everything to you over dinner, huh?” “Dinner? Are you trying to fuck again? You think everything is sex, Axell?” “For fuck sake! I never thought about that. I am seriou
BILLY’s POV I sat on the wood waiting for him to arrive. It has not been easy pretending to be fine, especially in front of my classmates and parents. I have always been an energetic lady, so of course now my classmates always give me cold shoulders like they suspect something. I heard footsteps approaching me and I knew it was him, so I stood up and fixed my skirt. I smiled, but my smile immediately faded away, when I saw who it was. Miss Avery?!!! My shot was wide open and I staggered. “Miss.. Mis.. Hello Miss Avery..” “Looks like you are disappointed to see me, Billy” “I never expected to see you here, ma'am” “Neither did I, Billy. What are you doing here during school hours?” It was my secret hideout. It was the only place in the school without a CCTV camera, so I was curious how she found out about it. It was the place where I was disciplined. “This is..” “Don't you dare lie to me, Billy, or else I will tell not only the principal and CEO about you
AXELL's POV When I got back home I went straight to sleep. I slept like a 4-year-old. I guess I needed more sleep than I thought. When I woke up I received a call from Noni, my spy. I didn't answer immediately. I first walked around in the room, thought about new things then I called him back. "Hey, Noni" "Mr Axell, it's been a while don't you think?" "I guess I will be seeing you soon, Noni" "Are you coming to Mexico, sir?" "Well, I guess so. I guess the universe doesn't want me moving on" "What do you mean?" "I thought you called to tell me about the voting and the godfathers" "Well, what about them, Mr Axell?" "Well my friend said he heard that I won" "I never heard anything about that and I have been keeping a close watch, sir" I twisted my ankles and then frowned. "Are you sure about that? Because that was what Bryson said to me. He said his source told him I won" "Won what, sir? And who is Bryson's source?" I was left speechless as I didn't
AXELL's POV I looked around then I ran upstairs back to my room and dragged pants and an oversized tee. "I am supposed to be with Avery right now! How did I forget about the dinner!" I yelled angrily at myself. I have been failing her a bit too much in just a matter of days. I looked at my phone and it was almost 9 pm. Oh my God, Fuck! I ran outside my house and ran to the entrance of her gate. It was locked so I had to call her phone. Immediately she answered the call, I started with an apology. "Hey, love. I am sorry for not meeting up with time. I have been testing. I am in front of your gate now, please come out" "Go back to your house, Axell. Look at the time. What are you standing at my gate for?" "Look, you have all right to be upset, I am sorry, please. Come on, Avery, huh, please" She didn't say anything, and I hated myself at that moment. "Avery, what I am facing right now is something about life and death I swear. I am in a deep crisis" "What
AVERY's POV Who is that at this hour? Camila? Logan? What do they want? Someone knocked on the door. Slowly I walked to the door and opened it up. I saw Camila and Logan standing there staring at me, then their eyes wandered into my room and they saw Axell sitting on the bed. "Hey, Logan. Hi, Camila" Camila and Logan stared at themselves smiling. They walked into my room and both hugged Axell. While he was caressing Logan's hair I stared at him. His broad shoulders, lips, and beautiful eyes. Just the thought of him was getting me wet. Avery, he told you he is going through a crisis right now!! Sex should be the least of your problems, come on! "Mummy, I had no idea Axell was here" "Camila, why are you guys still awake? I thought you slept off a while ago, Logan" I smiled at him and he shook his head. "We came to invite you to join us for a movie, but it is obvious you have yours right here" Camila looked at Axell and winked at me. "Camila, for God's
AVERY's POV We had pretty intense and wild sex, it was so good, better than the last, but of course, he did not let me deep-throat. I was up by 3 am writing and updating my school notes for class, while Axell was fast asleep on the bed. I wore my classes and I was clinking the laptop's buttons loudly while stealing peeks at Axell. I stopped for a minute, then I paced around the room for a few minutes. I walked down to the kitchen to get some water, walked to Camila's room to check on them, and then walked back to my room. I stared at Axell and something hit me. He never explained anything to me before he slept off. The initial reason why he came over tonight was to explain everything to me, but I just allowed him to spread my legs without any substantial explanations. "Should I wake him up?" I asked myself while staring at him. "I will speak to him in the morning" I said, trying to convince myself that it was a bad idea to wake him up. I sat back on the chair
AXELL’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
