“Lily George? Your wife?!” Lily exclaimed, her voice incredulous as she crossed her arms tightly over her chest. Her piercing eyes pinned Axel a pointed glare, and yet, he looked unbothered—too unbothered.He leaned casually against the car door, a smug half-smile tugging at his lips. “You were smiling when I said it, and you didn’t deny it,” he retorted, his tone light and teasing.Lily’s jaw dropped, and she let out a scoff, throwing her hands in the air. “Did you expect me to frown? To deny it? So that I’d give them something to rip me apart with?” she snapped, narrowing her eyes.Axel’s smirk widened, his blue eyes sparkling with amusement. “Aren’t you?” he asked smoothly, his voice maddeningly calm.Her brows knitted together, confusion flickering across her face. “What?”“My fiancée. Meaning we’ll soon be married,” Axel explained matter-of-factly, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.Lily let out a sharp, disbelieving laugh. “I called it off!” she reminded him, her

Minutes dragged by. More minutes dragged by. And then those minutes turned into hours, leaving Axel in a state of restlessness. He paced the hallway back and forth, small, unheard grunts eliciting in his throat, fingers dragging through his hair as he attempted to shake off the fear crawling up his throat.What is taking them too long? He wondered, his eyes glued to those automatic doors that wouldn’t open since Lily was wheeled inside.Blood stained his clothes—Lily's blood, the man's blood, smeared across his shirt, his neck, his hands. He could still feel it, the weight of it, the anger that surged through him as he beat the man who had failed to protect her.And he was ready to start his beating all over again if another hour passed without him hearing something, anything at all from the doctors.“You’ll make me dizzy if you keep pacing, George,” Lily’s father’s voice rang through his thoughts, pulling him out of the daze. “Pacing won’t make them come out of there any sooner. And

When the first day passed and Kate didn’t come to visit Lily, her emotions went from an all time high to the lowest point.She wasn’t eating, refused to sleep, refused to do anything. She simply was afraid. . .afraid that Kate truly meant it when she ended their relationship.Axel was sitting at the edge of the hospital bed, a bowl of soup in his hands. His brows continued to twitch, pulling into deep frowns, his face etched with worry. His voice was thicker now, firmer as he tried, once again, to coax Lily into eating.“Just a few spoons, Lily,” he pleaded, holding the spoon out. “You need your strength. You need to take your medication. You can’t keep doing this to yourself.”Lily turned her head away, her lips pressed tightly together in defiance. Of course she was hungry, she was extremely hungry, but she couldn’t bring herself to find the energy she needed in order to eat. “I’m not eating, Axel. Not until I see Kate.” She muttered the same words she had been muttering for the mil

Axel waited until the girls were asleep before gently walking into the room with slow strides. His eyes were glued to Lily the whole time, observing the scrunch of her face, the twitching of her brows.How could he have missed such important details of her physical state the day she woke up? How could he have missed the fear in her eyes the day she woke up and even the morning after? Most of all, how could he have missed the fact that she became a bubbly version of herself?These questions gnawed at his mind, leaving him restless and filled with guilt. And for the rest of that night, Axel once again couldn’t afford to blink. Now, he was more determined than ever to keep Lily safe.He had already dispersed his men to find the attacker, and while he waited, all he could think about was all the things he was going to do to the fucker who touched his woman.Axel sat beside her in the dimly lit room, lost in thoughts when suddenly, she began mumbling, her head lolling from one side to th

“Because I heard you and Kate last night!”Lily froze, her mind running in circles with the weight of Axel’s words. She couldn’t understand what he meant, couldn’t completely process the meaning of the words he had said.A moment passed and then she realized. He heard me. He heard everything. She thought to herself.“You. . .heard us?” Her voice came out small, trembling as though the truth itself was an earthquake threatening to crack her open.Guilt instantly weighed on Axel’s heart. Maybe he shouldn’t have blurted out that confession the way he did. Maybe she didn’t want him to know for good reason.Amidst his guilt, Axel didn’t flinch, but his jaw tightened visibly. “I didn’t mean to,” he said quietly, each word cautious, measured. “But I heard enough to know you’ve been carrying this all by yourself. Enough to know you shouldn’t have to.”The emotion that flashed Lily’s orbs made him feel all the more guilty, but he needed to hold his ground, he needed to let her know that as mu
