LUCRECIA’s POV Silva was completely dumbfounded. He was as shock and confused as I was. I wonder who left the envelope in my door. Is there someone else who wants Axell to return to Mexico? “Is this paolo’s doing?” I whispered under my breathe. “What did you say?” Silva immediately asked, but I shoved him off. “So, you tell me who won the votes, and who is the new head of the families” He turned around and paced round the room for minutes. Is he trying to play smart and not answer my question. “Um.. Sorry to interrupt whatever you are doing now, but we had a deal, so tell me who won” I screamed angrily at him. “Well, if you must know then I will tell you, but if another ear hears it then you will face the wrath of the godfathers all alone..” “Just tell me who won! Please!” He squinted his eyes then stared back at me. “Axell! Yes, your boyfriend won!” He sat down on the chair angrily while I jumped out of happiness. Finally! He will come over he
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 POVI kept staring at the drama going on in front of me. I did not understand a thing. “It is me, sir. Please, don't let them shoot me”“Is it you that did what?”I kept watching. What is going on here? “I.. I.. I violated Billy. I am responsible..”Mrs Morgan fell to her knees crying hard and so did I.How? How on earth?!!Nick!!! Nick is the father of Billy’s child!!!!Axell, shamelessly lifted me in front of everyone without giving two fucks.“Why didn't you tell me about it? Why?..”I said to his face and he wiped my tears with his hands.Everyone stared at us with surprise, but we didn't care.Wrong timing for coming out as couples, but we did it anyway.He walked back to Nick and slapped him hard on his face.I also used my teeth to bite the side of his neck almost peeling off his skin.“Nick, how could you do this?! You are my friend.. How could you do that to such a little girl? Nick..”I was crying heavily.“Avery, I am sorry.. I really do have a soft spot for Billy
AVERY’s POV I crossed over to the other side of the road, and I saw Axell’s car driving towards me. The car stopped in front of me and I got in. His driver smiled at me and so did I. Immediately I sat down next to Axell, he grabbed my waist and hungrily kissed my lips. “Babe, your driver” I whispered on his lips, and he hissed like a child. “Oh, please” We kissed for close to 5 minutes while driving back home. “I noticed how you and your work bestie kept holding each other. I won't lie, it was a good view to watch. My eyeballs almost fell off” I giggled with happiness in my heart. It feels nice when your man gets jealous. “Axell, come on, Nick is my very close friend” “Yeah, yeah. I get that. I have heard that for months now” I kissed his lips and he kissed my forehead. “Do you get jealous?” I asked him and he smiled. “Don't you?” I nodded my head, of course, I do. Yo, mine is worse. “I do. I do a lot” “But, unlike you, I have never given you a
AVERY’s POV He left for his office, and the teachers seemed very excited. I mean I was too, but it just came to me as a shock, because I had no idea. I sat at my desk, thinking about Billy, then I called her mum. I went inside the restroom and looked carefully before making the call When she answered, she sounded very happy too. “Mrs Morgan, I must say that I love this tone of your voice. Why? Did something good happen?” “I was going to call to tell you Miss Avery, Billy is awake! The doctors removed the life machine from her, and now she is with the doctor, ma'am” I had to control myself from crying, it was great news. “Oh, my God. Are you serious? This is such wonderful news. I called to tell you that the CEO is back and I have informed him about everything. I even gave him some of the letters, so fingers crossed” “Thank you so much, Miss Avery, Billy is so lucky to have a teacher like you. You are a blessing to us” I chuckled and then wiped the tears in my ey
AVERY’s POV In the morning I woke up and Axell was gone. But he dropped me a note “Look your best and be ready by 7 pm” I smiled and kissed the note. I walked outside of my room and saw food on the dining table. “Did Camila, prepare all of this? Wow!” I said softly. I walked to her room, but she was still sleeping. I woke her up and asked if she prepared the food, but she said No. Then who did? We walked down the stairs together and she was also stunned. There was a note under one of the plates, but I didn't notice it at first. Camila picked up the note, and she smiled. “This is for you both. We are sure you must be very exhausted once you are up. So take this as a Sunday morning Breakfast from Axell and me” Camila read it out loud and we both giggled. “Oh, this is so sweet of them” I said and Camila nodded. I called Logan downstairs and told him Axell made it for us. He washed his mouth and joined us. The food was so good, it tasted very nice too.
AXELL’s POV I was still contemplating whether or not to wake her up. “Oh, fuck it” I whispered to myself, then I placed the flower and chocolate on the table next to the bed. I took off my shoes then I got on the bed, and held her from behind, hoping she would open her eyes, or maybe till morning. I hugged her tightly and sniffed his hair. It felt very good, she smelled so good. She moved her body but then went back to sleep. I gave up and then decided to sleep too. I kept looking at Logan on the other side of the bed, he was sound asleep. After about 5 minutes I felt her hand on mine, she was feeling my hands with hers, like she was trying to figure out whose hand it was. Slowly she turned her head around and I turned the lamplight on, so she would see my face. “Ax.. Axell.. Baby..” I smiled and so did she. She looked like she was controlling her emotions and keeping all the excitement in. She didn't know how to react, but I could see all the excitemen
AVERY’s POVI have been on Billy’s case, one would think I am her mother or lawyer.I have checked all the other handwriting of the boys in her class, but no one matched.I have cried several times because these kids are about to ruin their lives. The principal knows already, he would never let it go. He would get justice for Billy, but she would never escape expulsion from the school and that would ruin her whole life. I was in my room having different thoughts, and I missed Axell even more. I have been receiving calls from unknown numbers, and I suspect it is Shawn, so I have not been answering them.It was a Saturday, so I took Logan to the park to have some fun while I caught some fresh air. Camila had to attend one of her students’ birthday parties, but I didn't feel like going neither did Logan.We got back home and I looked at Axell’s house just across mine.“I miss you so much, baby”I sighed and walked back into my house. I received a call from Nick, I smiled and answered
AXELL’s POVWe were done with all the gathering, and Silva insisted on celebrating “our win” as he called it. In a club, so we agreed. Some of the Tattaglia family came along with us including Paolo and Lucrecia. I had to endure it. We finished the party in no time and headed back to the penthouse. I was so drunk that I wasn't sure who came along with Bryson and me, but I knew that we were not alone.In the morning I woke up with a serious hangover. My head was slamming heavily, and I almost shed tears.I stood up, walked to Bryson’s room, and saw me on the floor holding his head. “Man, what the fuck happened last night?”I asked him while looking confused.“Hey man, I was coming to your room and I fell on the floor. What sort of hangover is this? We have never been so drunk, yeah”Bryson said as he struggled to stand on his feet.I helped him up. I tried to remember all that happened at the club, but I didn't remember a single thing. It was crazy. “I guess Mexico’s booze hit diff
LUCRECIA’s POVWhat did I just hear? Silva is taking over Axell’s position? That snake! How did he even manage to convince Axell to hand over the position to him? Silva spoke about how much he hated Axell, right? Guess he only lied.So, does this mean Axell Will be leaving? Oh, No.He only came to Mexico to give the position to someone else. Why didn't I think about this? Now, he will be returning, and I haven't even gotten to spend a little time with him.This is not how I planned all of these.Oh, come on.I took a glass of champagne from the waiter and gulped it down.They finished from the stage and I watched Axell and Silva hug each other tightly.How did these two become friends? One thing I know about Axell is that he doesn't pretend, so he surely wasn't pretending.I watched him walk outside the hall and I immediately followed him carefully.He walked to the back of the hall and brought out a smoke.I stood there unable to move my legs or call his name. I was scared.It's bee
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
