All Chapters of Falling For My Billionaire Husband : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The silence in the room was so loud it almost drove Lily out of her mind. A small whimper elicited in her throat, the sound so low that no one could hear it. But Axel heard it, and he knew what it meant.He sighed, tired, resolved.If unhappiness was his fate, then he was willing to accept it. But he couldn’t stand by any longer and watch his ex-wife and son ruin the life of an innocent girl whose only crime was allowing herself to be swayed by him.“I warned you not to call her a whore again,” Axel said, his eyes intent on his ex-wife. Lily was still dumbstruck, her mind running in circles, trying so hard to understand what had just happened.Axel just hit a woman—her mind kept singing. And then for Alice and Austin, it was a surprise. Especially for Alice. Axel was never a violent man. He had never put his hands on her throughout their years of marriage, he never touched her in any harmful way no matter how many times she crossed the line.And it was in that moment that she realiz

The stillness of the night seemed heavier now, the air thick with tension and unspoken truths. The faint hum of distant crickets only made the silence between them more unbearable. They still sat beneath the towering tree by the roadside, the soft rustle of leaves overhead doing little to soothe the chaos brewing between them.Lily’s gaze bored into Axel, her hands clenched tightly in her lap. The words she had asked moments ago hung in the air like a storm cloud.“Did you know about my past relationship with your son?”Axel didn’t answer. He couldn’t. The weight of her question, laced with both vulnerability and fury, pinned him down like a guilty verdict.Instead of replying, he glanced away, his jaw tightening, his throat bobbing as he swallowed hard.Lily’s heart dropped. She didn’t need a verbal confirmation. The way his shoulders tensed, the way his gaze faltered, told her everything she needed to know.“You knew,” she whispered, her voice trembling with disbelief. “You knew, d

Lily woke to the steady vibration of her phone on the nightstand, its soft hum cutting through the silence of the room. Her eyes opened reluctantly, swollen and heavy from the tears of the night before. She stared at the ceiling for a moment, dreading whatever waited for her.The phone buzzed again, and she turned her head slowly, the light from the screen piercing through the dimness. Notifications filled the screen—dozens of them. She reached for the phone with trembling fingers, unlocking it hesitantly. Headlines leapt out at her: "Heiress Lily at the Center of Scandal," "Greedy Gold-Digger or Misunderstood Lover?"She scrolled past quickly, her heart sinking further with each passing headline. Her name was everywhere, tangled in rumors and venomous accusations. She tossed the phone onto the bed, pressing her palms against her temples as a fresh wave of nausea rolled over her. The room felt smaller somehow, closing in on her as the weight of the world’s judgment pressed down.

The cool night air stung Lily’s flushed cheeks as she glared up at Axel, her chest heaving with anger. His grip on her shoulders was firm, unyielding, and his piercing gaze bore into her, but it only fueled her rage. “Let go of me!” she hissed, wrenching herself free from his hands. “Lily, what were you—” Before he could finish, she raised her hand and slapped him across the face. The sound cracked through the quiet street like a thunderstorm. Axel’s head jerked to the side, his jaw tightening as he absorbed the blow. Slowly, he turned back to face her, his expression unreadable. “You don’t get to do this!” Lily screamed, her voice trembling with fury. “You don’t get to interfere in my life like you’re some kind of authority! Who the hell do you think you are?” “Lily—” “No! Shut up!” She jabbed a finger at his chest, her whole body trembling now. “Are you my father? Huh? Are you? Because you sure as hell act like it!” Axel stared at her, his face a mask of restraint, b

“Since when did you start thinking and talking like my father, Kate?” Kate blinked, caught off guard. “Lily, what are you—” Lily’s voice cut through the space like a blade, low and venomous. “Was it before you fucked him or after you fucked him?”The fear in Kate’s eyes was enough to tell Lily all she needed to know. Smiling, she shook her head, her tongue darting out to wet her bottom lip. “You know what,” she whispered as she walked towards the door, “you don’t have to answer that.”Lily stormed out, her feet padding softly against the floor as she ran to her father’s office. She was ready to rain hell on him for ever putting his hands on her friend, but the moment she saw the raging fury in her father’s eyes, she gulped down her words.Mr. Daniels threw a tab on the desk and Lily’s eyes widened at the image displayed on the screen.“Seventy two hours, Lily,” he breathed, his words laced with disappointment, “within seventy two hours, you’ve done so much damage to yourself and y
