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
AVERY's POV In the morning when I woke up, he was gone but he left a little note saying; "you look like an angel while sleeping I didn't want to wake you up. See you in school, Miss Avery" I chuckled loudly when I read the last part. Come on, Miss Avery? After all that he did last night! I stood up from the bed, washed up, and got ready for work. I had a big smile on my face thinking about Axell. When I came out of my room I saw Camila and Logan eating. They were also dressed, so I joined them and prayed for Logan not to ask me questions about last night. He kept stealing glances at me and I knew that he had thorns of questions for me, so I made the first move. "Okay, bring it on. What do you have for me, big guy?" Camila looked at Logan's face and patted his cheeks. "I have nothing for you" He said sharply without looking at my face. I was stunned because I knew he always had things to say, so you can imagine the shocker I got. I moved close and lift
AVERY's POV When I got to my office I sat down for about 10 minutes thinking about everything Logan said. My child is really growing and I love it. I thought to myself and I smiled. "I need to see Axell, so I can explain things to him. I don't want him to think there is pressure from anywhere" I stood up and quickly walked to his office. When I got to the entrance I knocked on the door and entered with a smile, but my joy was short-lived when I met the principal instead of Axell. I was ready to go back, but he already saw me. "Miss Avery, what a pleasant surprise" He said and carefully bowed his head and I did too. "Mr. Scofield, it's been a while. I trust that you are well" "Well, I would have been better if you were mine" Here we go again! This man never gets tired of embarrassing himself, does he? We are in the CEO's office, but because he is not in, The principal is flirting with me. Where the fuck did Axell go to? "Please, not today, sir. I came here look
AVERY’s POV I stared at his face, and I swallowed back my words. What did he mean by that? Did he just say he also has kids? He must be joking, right? I kept squinting my eyes anticipating for him to explain what he meant to me, but he just stared at me back. “Are you going to explain to me what you meant by that or not?” I finally broke the silence, he walked over to his desk, took out a pen from the shelf just above the desk, and looked back at me. “What do you want to explain, Avery? I am with you, yeah? So your child is mine” Oh, my God, he is so silly! He laughed loudly while I just kept punching his shoulders gently. Fuck, he got me there for a minute. My mind immediately ran wide, because a child? He never told me anything about a child. “You scared the shit out of me, Axell, what was that?” “Come on, come here” He pulled me by my waist and kissed my lips. “Was my baby scared?” “Of course, I was” “I am sorry, love” He kissed me again, and
THREE DAYS LATER (THE NIGHT BEFORE AXELL LEAVES FOR MEXICO) AVERY’s POV I was getting ready with Camila, and we were smiling from tooth to tooth. Logan was in the room with one of Axell’s chefs. She promised to stay with me while we went out clubbing with the guys. I swear I was missing Axell already. I thought he was going to stay longer, but reality hit me hard when he said he was leaving Tomorrow. I almost cried, but in his defense, it came as a shock to him, so he said we should all go clubbing tonight. I have been so busy with school stuff that we were unable to spend time together, and now he is leaving. “Girl, I swear if you are not done I will rip your heart out” Camila said to me over the door. She walked into the room and thankfully I was done. “Camila you do realise it is a nightclub, right? And what is the time now? Like 8?” “Bitch the time is 10:30 pm!!!” I looked back at her with m
AXELL’s POV Oh, boy here we go again. “What is it? Why are you both staring at yourselves that way?” I looked at Avery and held her hands. “Babe.. You see the thing is..” I hesitated and stared at Bryson’s face. He was tipsy so I thought he could be of help. “I got this, brother. Calm down” He pushed me aside and held Avery’s hands. “The thing is that we are not sure when we will be coming back, Avery” She sharply looked at my face, and I could see the shock written all over her face. “What.. What.. What do you mean by that Bryson?” “We could stay there for a month.. We are not yet certain, alright..” “And you are just telling me this?” She pulled her hands off Bryson’s and jumped into the car. Bryson and Camila stared at me, and I shook my head. “You got this man?” Bryson asked and I slowly nodded. “Yeah, I do. I do. You both go, we will meet you inside, alright?” They nodded, smiled at me, and left. “Oh, lord, please help me” I opened the do
AXELL’s POV I walked outside the restroom, then I saw her standing with a guy.. Talking and giggling. The anger in me almost came out of my mouth! I was pissed as fuck. I quickly walked over when the guy touched her waist. I pushed him away and she looked shocked to see me. “Man, what the fuck man?” The guy yelled, but I didn't pay any attention to him. “Do you go around touching random ladies? Keep your hands to yourself, man” I pulled Avery away from him and I dragged her outside the club even though she tried fighting it. “Leave me alone, Axell! What the fuck was that? I was having a conversation with that guy..” “Avery.. I am trying my best not to yell at you, do not push me” “What.. What do you even mean?” I stared at her, and I knew I had a ray of light in my eyes. That was how angry I was. I was burning with rage, but I tried to keep my cool. “Do you just go around hugging random dudes? Simply because we fought?” She turned around and was walki
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
