2024-12-04 00:25:52Axell’s pov
I and Bryson went down on our knees, including the other guards.
The guy walked in front of me but he had a mask on.
“The boss wants to speak to you!”
“By the boss you mean__”
“Shut your fucking mouth and listen!”
He took his phone out of his pocket and put it on speaker.
“Axell, Axell, Axell. How many times have I told you that I have my eyes everywhere? Do not think my shooter missed. I told him not to kill you just yet because I want to kill you myself, slow and painful”
“Paolo, aren't you tired?”
Bryson yelled.
The masked guy punched Bryson in his eyes hard and he fell to the ground.
“Like I was saying. I want to watch you die just like I watched your parents, and I will. Ah, how I hate the sight of you”
I looked to my side and saw one of my guards walking down the stairs. I tried giving him a signal to go back but he wasn't looking.
“Hey, boss I heard—”
Before he could say anything they shot him twice in the head.
“Fuck! Paolo stop your men! It is me you want!”
“One more word and I will blow your stupid head off!”
The dude with the phone slowly said to me.
“No, do not touch Axell, he is my battle! When you picked this line of work you knew what you were getting into, Axell. Hey, boys set his house ablaze and kill anyone who isn't Axell”
AVERY’s POV
When I got to my office I sat quietly and looked around me with disgust.
“You look good this morning, Avery. You got something in your teeth”
“What is that?”
“Jealousy and pain!”
Karen is my worst enemy and the one who makes tutoring my students so tiring for me.
“Karen, you know if you look at yourself carefully you will realize that you are the one whose heart is filled with hate and jealousy, right?”
“Whatever you say, Avery! At least give your son a last name before coming for me, Avery!”
I stood up angrily and I was ready to pounce on her but Nick caught me quickly.
“Don't you ever mention my son with that filthy mouth of yours! You bitch!”
She moved back a little and held her chest. My eyes were red and my voice was shaky. I hated it when someone tried to talk down on my character by bringing my son into it.
“Thanks so much, Nick”
Nick was more like my work best friend and he also hated Karen.
“The principal wants all staff in the big Hall”
Nick said while still holding my hand. He is the same age and size as Camila. Not entirely chubby but a little thick with blond hair.
“What does he want? An announcement so early in the morning? You gotta be kidding me right now”
I exclaimed angrily and held Nick’s hand tighter.
We walked to the hall. Nick and I sat close to each other and I kept staring at how the teachers kept laughing and murmuring like children.
“Avery, I have told you to avoid Karen, right? She always wants to poke you, and you always let her win!”
“I hate her and I hate it when she drags Logan into our mess! You know the other day I heard her ask Logan what the name of his father is! And he just stood there lost in thoughts not knowing what to say. I felt so bad I almost shed tears. That bitch is trying so hard and I am so close to losing it”
“Hey, hey, calm down, okay? Karen is a hater! She is just jealous that you have been winning the teacher of the month for the last 3 months in a row”
“Yeah, I know that! I would have also been jealous if I wasn't me!”
Nick and I laughed loudly and shook hands.
The principal got on the stage and everywhere immediately went quiet.
They brought the microphone for him. He cracked a little joke which made everyone giggle and I felt a bit relaxed. Even though I hated him.
“I Have called y’all here today to introduce someone to you. Someone, y’all ought to have met a long time”
He twisted his lips, smiled at us, and moved away from the podium.
“Okay, what is happening?”
Nick asked and we both stared in confusion.
The principal walked back to the podium and lifted one of his hands.
“Pardon me I had something in my eyes”
Some of the teachers chuckled while I kept a straight face because nothing was funny at that moment.
“As I said earlier, please join me in welcoming the CEO and owner of Greenville Montessori High School. MR AXELL LEONARDO”
Immediately I heard that name. My neck turned as fast as possible waiting for this person to come out and I prayed seriously to the lord.
“I don't want to meet him again, please, not after all these months”
I whispered and bit my fingernails as my gaze sharpened.
“Of course, it had to be him!”
I rolled my eyes angrily and buried my face in my palms immediately after he walked out to the podium.
The other teachers were still clapping for him while I was fighting my demons as memories of that night appeared in front of me again. The memories I have tried hard to bury and forget just came rushing back to taunt me.
“Hello, everyone. I don't think I still need to add anything to what the Principal said..”
They all cheered and clapped loudly for him. He was smiling and waving like he was a saint.
“Fucking snake!”
I said with a very thick angry voice.
“Did you say anything?”
Nick asked and I just hit his shoulder with a fake smile.
“Fine, it seems everyone needs me to say something. Let us work together in good health and strength to make Greenville even better!”
They applauded him and he walked away. I was not just hurt but I was disappointed.
While walking back to my office I kept having different thoughts in my head.
‘Should I resign? But if I do, how will I make ends meet? Where do I get a new job? Fuck!’
I hit my hand on the door and hurt myself. Luckily for me, there was no cut, just a scratch.
When I got to the class I didn't joke with the students as much as I used to do. I went straight to business.
“Who can tell me about our last class?”
One student stood up to explain but we were disturbed by the principal, CEO, and some other heads of the school.
“Nothing much, Avery. Just showing the CEO around the classes. Please, carry on”
The principal innocently reckoned and I tried my best not to stare at Axell but his gaze was all over me.
“I hope the teacher doesn't mind if I sit a little in her class, right? English, one of my favorite subjects!”
He moved to the back of the class and stood for about 5 minutes but I tried to avoid his gaze, and I guess he noticed.
He smirked and walked close to me, and whispered.
“We will be seeing each other more than you think, Avery. I hope you are ready?”
“What?”
“I said good teaching, ma'am. Bye students”
He walked out and his words kept hitting me; they sounded more like a threat.
After an hour I was done with my class so I walked to the cafeteria to get a soda. A lady girl walked up to me and handed me a soda. I happily collected it and she ran away.
“My students are the best”
I proudly said to myself.
I opened it and gulped the soda down. Then I received a call to come outside for a package when I got there. I don't know how it happened but in the blink of an eye, I was thrown into a van with a sack over my head. My vision was becoming foggy and I was slowly losing my balance.
“Where am I– where are you taking me—”
Before I could finish my sentence I received a hard slap on my left ear and that made me collapse.
When I woke up I wasn't sure how long I was out but when I looked through the little window it was a bit dark. I looked around me and it was an empty spacious space.
“Hello! Anyone! Please, help me!”
“I see you are awake!”
A tiny feminine voice came from behind me. I tried looking backward but my hands were tied to a chair and so were my legs.
“Who are you? Please, don't kill me”
“Oh, no I don't plan to as long as you do what I want”
The lady walked and stood in front of me and slapped me twice on my face again. Tears began to pour down my eyes and I was trembling out of fear.
“Please, what do you want? I need to get home to my son”
“Nothing much. I heard from a trusted source that you left a party with Axell about a week ago. Well, I need you to stay away from him, permanently, or else I have your address and I promise to come for your little boy”
“No, no. Please, I will do whatever it is you want. Please, leave my son alone”
After pleading for more than 20 minutes for my life they placed the sack back over my head and we got into a van. I couldn't see anything but I knew we were moving. After a long drive, the van finally stopped.
They loosened the rope over my hands and pushed me out of the van. I fell and scratched my elbow on the ground. They drove away and I loosened the rope over my legs. I was in so much pain when I stood up. And the lady was not nliggomh when she said she knew where I stayed because they dropped me right in front of my house.
I limped into the house and I saw someone I never expected or thought I would ever see in my house. He was holding my son!
“What are you doing here?”

AVERY’s POVHe stood there staring at me like he was daft. He is the last person I expected to see in my house, especially not at a time like this! I looked tattered and injured. I hated the fact my son had to see all that. I moved close to him and yanked Logan away from him.“I ask again, what are you doing in my house?!”I exclaimed angrily.“Mummy, why are you bleeding? Is something wrong with you?”Logan asked but I quickly covered his mouth with my hands. My principal, Mr Scofield stood there staring at me with his eyes wide open. He looked like if he had the opportunity he would devour me right in front of my son. What did he want? I told him I was not going to tell anybody about what happened at his party so why was he in my house in the middle of the night? This is so crazy, and the fact I was alone. Heaven knows where Camila went!“I came to apologize to you, Avery. I guess I wronged you. I should never have done that to you earlier. I am sorry about that. Please, forgive me

AVERY’s POVAfter the drama of last night, I was ready for work in the morning but I had to go to the hospital first to treat my wounds and have them bandaged. Camila and Logan were both ready, and she promised to drop me off at the hospital first, and then I would take a cab to the school.When we got out of the house I noticed the building gate opposite mine was open. I mean I remember seeing some men putting some things in it but I had no idea someone had packed in. “Mummy, let us go. What are you waiting for?”Logan pulled my skirt and I flinched because I was deep in thought about my new neighbor. It has always been a quiet neighborhood so I don't want a troublesome person ruining it. “Fine, and why are you so eager to go today, Logan?”I asked him and he just smirked. He wore his sportswear so I remembered it was sporty in his school. I was always more than grateful that Camila teaches in his school. She always watched over him. Before we got into the car I saw I knew. AXELL

AVERY’s POVWhen our eyes met, he smirked, but I tried avoiding him.“Nurse, will you, please, take a look at my wound? I need them treated, please”I said to the nurse who didn't even bother to look at my face. Her eyes were glued on Axell who came and stood beside me.“Mr Axell,” the nurse with a rather calm and soft voice said “I have been waiting for you, sir. How are you doing? You look very good to me”I looked at her and how she was acting. She was smiling and it was so obvious that she was into Axell who just stood there without saying a word.“Did I keep you waiting? I am so sorry I ran into a little traffic”He touched the nurse’s hand and they both giggled. That was so disgusting and he openly teased her which made it even more annoying because I regretted the fact I was there to witness that. “Fine, nurse, if you won't treat me then I will go to another hospital, thank you”When I turned around to leave Axell held one of my hands, and I got so angry, because why did he th

AVERY’s POVI moved close to the CEO, Axell’s door, and I tried peeking through to see what was going on inside his office, but I could not see clearly. The sound was a bit loud and I did not want to conclude it was what I thought it was, because why would he bring a woman to have sex with in his place of work? “What are you looking at?!”A loud voice came from behind me. When I turned around it was the principal, and he looked furious as hell. His gray and black hair was neatly combed to the back, and he wore a tuxedo like he was going to attend a wedding ceremony or something.“Hello, sir. I.. I was just.. I thought I heard something.. I mean. You called for me, right?”I was speechless and my voice cracked. The words were there, but they felt stuck in my throat.“Yes, I asked for you to come into my office, not stare into the CEO’s office! Do you know he hates being disturbed? I feel you have gotten a job elsewhere with how you have been operating lately”“No!!! No, sir, please”

AVERY’s POV“No way! You are not a normal human being! How can you do that to these poor ladies just because they need to make ends meet?”“You know what the sweetest part is? Some of them came to me themselves. Some said they needed me to increase their salaries, some beg for days off, and recently some said they need to be in the CEO’s good books, so I need to help them, and we help each other”I could not believe my ears and I felt so irritated by the sight of him. I turned around to leave, but I could still feel his lustful eyes all over my body. “Just keep it in mind that wherever you go to work if the person in charge is a man then he would need of that ass you got back there. I mean who wouldn't, right? Stop being a child”I slightly turned my head around and then I ran out of his office. I bumped hard into someone on my way out, and the person’s phone fell off his hand. I quickly picked it up and gave it to him.“I am.. I am sorry”It was a man I bumped into, he had the best

LUCEECIA’s POVI sat down on my couch staring out the window with a glass of champagne in my hand. Oh, what a great way to start the day I thought to myself.I heard a loud thud from behind me, and I flinched out of fear.I quickly stood up and turned around, but it was just my dog.“Hey, Maggie, come, come. Good girl, where have you been?”I patted her head and she wagged her tail.“She has been with me. And you? What have you been up to, huh?”I sharply stood up and behold he was in front of me looking like a mysterious being. “What are you..”“Do not say a word! You look beautiful this morning, Lu”He shut me up and I almost fainted out of shock.“Paolo you said it yourself that we shouldn't be seen together because of what your people might think”“Then let them think. I have a little job for you by the way”“For me? What might that be?”“You know a lot about Axell, so you will also know how he thinks and all of that. So, I need you to accompany me somewhere”“I have done more th

AVERY’s POV Finally, the class for today is done, I've been dying to go home. I stood up from my chair, opened the cupboard, and yanked my bag out from inside happily. I felt so fulfilled. Then reality hit me again, The principal. When I first got the job he was always very nice and sweet to me, but all of a sudden he turned into something else. I did not want what he said about only employing single ladies to stress me out. When I walked out of the school building, I sat on the bench close to the entrance waiting for Camila. I took out my phone from my bag and called her phone, but it was not reachable. I stared at the view in front of me, and all I could do was smoke. The children ran about and waved at me. They looked more eager to leave the school to their houses than I did. “Hey, Girl. There you are!” I looked behind me and saw Nick holding some brown files in his hands. He looked more like a professor than a high school teacher. “Hey, bestie. How are you

AVERY’s POV As I stepped into the car and sat down I was enveloped in a new world. The cabin was trimmed in rich white leather. The dashboard was a masterpiece of modern design, with a massive touchscreen display and a sleek, flat-bottomed steering wheel. The seats were incredibly comfortable and I felt so relaxed, but I was immediately drawn back to reality, and I remembered what he said when I got in. I wasn't quite sure what he meant by ‘he got me now’ but I tried hard not to stare at him. I was so quiet I almost stopped breathing. His car smelled and looked expensive. It felt as if I was part of a royal family. I am sure it cost an arm and a leg to get such a car. He drove without uttering a word, and I liked that. He did not ask for directions, so I was forced to speak. “I hate to break the silent party, but you do not know where I live. You can drop me off at the next bus stop I will take a taxi” He chuckled and then turned on the radio. I felt so disrespected a

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.

What is he doing here? And with a bag in his hands.“What are.. You?

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

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

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?

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

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.

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
