AXELL’s POV Scofield and I walked to my office, and I knew we just had to reopen the past and talk about it. "Please, have your seat, Man" I said with a light smile to him. He sat down comfortably, feeling relaxed and fulfilled. He sure enjoyed the fact I spoke down on Avery in front of him. He had the guts to even say he has always had eyes for her. Such a pitiful man. "Want something to drink?" "Do not worry about it, Avery, I mean, Sir. I am so sorry for that, it was a slip of the tongue" He chuckled happily and banged his hands on my desk. I stared at him, trying to hide my disgust and frustration, and I hoped I could pretend for long. I sat opposite him on my chair, and I brought out a file. "Scofield, how have you been, and have you been handling the school for all these years all alone? I know this conversation is long overdue, but let's not go to that" He nodded then moved his shoulders like he was getting ready to get into the ring. He is an old
BILLY’s POV I was sitting in my classroom while the others were making jokes and laughing about different things, but there was nothing funny about my situation. Where do I go from here? I never needed that test because I knew that I was pregnant. I have been throwing up, feeling nauseous, feeling bloated, and I noticed how I also hate swallowing my saliva. I am pregnant, and I know it for sure I ran into the toilet to throw up, and I began to cry again. I have cried countless times ever since I started having this feeling. I just needed the report to prove what I had already known. My parents would not only be disappointed but also heartbroken. My father never wanted me to come to this school because he said the rich make you do things you never want to do, and I guess he was right. How did I end up here? While in deep thought I heard a loud thud on the door, and I almost had a heart attack. I slightly opened the door, and it was my friends. "What is wrong wit
(OBJECTS CLATTERRING) DON’s CORLEONE’s POV The meeting was almost over, but the members were still going head-to-head with each other while I just stared at them lazily. Ever since what happened to Silva the members have been on my neck to appoint a new family head, but how do I even do that when I am not even sure who is truly worthy of that position between Paolo and Axell? These two men have been great assets to the mafia world, but ever since jealousy crept in they separated and got into a blood fight which led to the killing of many innocent souls, and also the division of the mafia families. In order to bring them back together and restore unity we need a head who is just and righteous, it is hard to see someone like that in this field of work, but I have always known Axell, and he has been an excellent man, but the life of crime has ruined him, and he ran from it. We lost a good gem the day he backed out, but what people do not understand about this game is that;
AVERY’s POV Billy followed me back home because she said she was scared of going home. I called her parents and they said it was fine for her to spend the night at my house. She dry-cleaned her uniform and played games with Logan. After a while, Camila called Billy into my room even though I told her not to. "Avery, we are already helping her, right? The least she can do is tell us who the father of the child is" Billy stepped into the room and by the look on her face, you could easily tell that she knew something was off. "Is something wrong Miss Avery? You both are staring at me like I did something wrong" Well, I mean literally she did, right? "That sentence was so wrong, Billy" "Sorry about that Miss Camila" "I need a favor from you, Billy. We need a favor from you" Camila pointed to me and then back to herself. "Yes, ma'am. Anything, please" "We need you to tell us the truth. You are suffering all alone which is very wrong. Who is the father of the c
AVERY’s POV I stood on a spot for close to a minute waiting for the person to come out, but they didn't. That is definitely not Axell, I am sure of it. Immediately I turned around to my left I saw Axell walking out his gate. I exhaled heavily and then I ran to him. "Hey, whta is wrong with you? You look happy to see me. Feels good" "Do you know who that is?" I pointed at the car, and he stared. "That is Bryson, is something wrong?" "Not at all, I got confused" He held my hand and told me to follow him to his house. "Your house?" "Yes. Come on, it will be fine" "I can't.. I mean.." "Why? You think you wont be able to control yourself around me, eh?" I avoided eye contact with him then I shook my head. "That is not it.." "Then come with me. I won't take long I promise" I slightly nodded and he pulled my hands. We walked through his gate, then to the garden. I kept looking around the whole place, and it felt like it was a different street. It
BILLY’s POV Miss Avery gave me her room to sleep in tonight, and I have never had such a more comfortable ve to sleep in ever before. I was playing video games on my phone when it rang. Right now? What is he calling now? I walked to the door to check if anyone was there but no one was, so I locked it from the back, and then answered the call, angrily. "Hello" "Yes, Billy" "Why are you calling me at this time? I told you where I am, right? What if Miss Avery picked up the call Instead how would you defend yourself, huh? What is wrong with you?" "Okay, I am sorry for calling at this hour, but I needed to know that you are fine" "Liar! The only reason you called me is to be sure that I didn't say anything to Miss Avery. I told you I would not, yeah? Why would I do that?" "Billy, fine you got me, but I also called to Check up on you to be sure you are fine" "I will be going for the test results tomorrow, and I will tell you how it goes" "Billy, you know if Avery
AVERY’s POV I tried several times to break the kiss by pushing his head away, but he kept pulling me back. "Sir... Axell... wait" When he lifted up his head I could not help but laugh loudly and he also did. We walked back into the room and I sat down on the couch. He had a champagne bar on the other side of his room, so he grabbed a bottle of champagne and two glasses. "How about I entertain you a bit before you leave Miss Avery? Do not say no" "Sir, need I remind you that tomorrow is a weekday, and some of us need to go to work" I lifted my eyebrows and pointed at myself. He giggled slowly, poured the champagne into both glasses, and handed one over to me. "Just a little won't hurt, yeah? Come on" "Sir.." "Come on, trust me, you will love it" He sat down next to me, held my hand, and poured the champagne into my mouth. It was so bitter that I almost threw up. "Oh, my God. What is this champagne? I thought champagne was meant to be sweet?" "I thou
BRYSON’s POV He is doing it again! Getting attached to another woman. He promised not to get into anything serious with another lady, but he is getting deep again. And I am sure she will also end up hurting him. He loves too hard, and always ends up hurt. I don't care if they both want to just fuck, but I can't have him getting into a relationship again after what Lucrecia did to him. I always end up being the one to suffer it, watching him suffer and having to console him. Before his parents died they made me promise them I would never leave his side or let him suffer, so at least I hold them that much. I was still sitting in my car, smoking and having deep thoughts. My phone rang and I never thought I would ever see that number in my life again. I thought about not answering it, but at the same time, I needed to hear the reason why she was calling. I answered the call and put it on speaker, then I dropped the phone on my thighs. "Bryson, are you there? Hey,
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
