โPut the pills down, Lily.โ Axel replied.โAxel, I just had an abortion.โ She said with her voice trembling. โYes.โ He replied and she let out a gasp as tears welled up in her eyes. โYou still have to take the last pill though.โ He replied and she stared at him in disbelief.โHow can you say such a thing? How can you be so cruel and heartless?โ She yelled at him.โStop overreacting over a little thing. Just take the third pill and letโs get this over with.โ He replied and she scoffed, she sniffed and wiped the tears that streamed down her eyes.โYou killed a child. You made me kill a child.โโIt is not a child yet, it was just two weeks old.โ He replied with an eye roll and Lily couldn't help but open her mouth in shock, she was so speechless. She thought he was caring for her but all he wanted to do was just to make sure the abortion was successful. โTwo weeks old is something. Why didn't you tell me? You think my opinion is not needed before you abort my child?โ Lily yelled.โOh
โYeah, the McCalls.โ Nora replied. โI know you had a fight with their daughter at the party but it will be fine. Just ignore them.โ Nora said and Lily nodded in response.โOh, and Max will be there too.โ She added.โMax is also a family friend too?โโWell, yes. He and Axel have been friends since childhood.โ Nora explained and Lily nodded again.โSo what exactly are you preparing me for?โ โThe meals we will be having tonight. Rejecting a meal by your husbandโs parents will be disrespectful so you have to eat whatever they offer.โ Nora replied.โOh, I am getting better at eating weird meals. I have been eating the ones the maids prepare.โ Lily replied and Nora laughed.โThey are not weird. They are normal.โ She said and Lily smiled.โCome on, we have a lot of eating to do.โ Nora chuckled and pulled her towards the dining room. The day was a little bit fun for Lily, Nora cheered her up and they both talked about a lot of things. Nora shared her experiences on trips with her and Lily
Lily and Axel arrived home after a while and they both walked out of the car. Axel walked out ahead of her and she rushed to catch up with him. They got into the house and he headed up the stairs, he climbed the stairs and she rushed after him. He was about to get it his room when she rushed to his presence and he paused. He gave her a questioning look and Lily sighed.โAxel.โ She called.โDo you need something?โ He asked and she shook her head in response. โSo what is it?โ He asked. She couldn't tell if he was mad or not, she was confused.โNothing. You have been avoiding me since what happened between us.โ She replied and he sighed.โI am not apologizing to you.โ He said and Lily nodded. She knew he wouldn't, she wasn't expecting that from him anymore. She just wanted them to be on good terms.Although he barely talks to her at least he looks at her and asks her questions about her well being.โYeah, I know. I just want you to stop ignoring me.โโI am not.โ He replied and she sho
โGreat, letโs play a game then.โ He said and she raised her brows curiously.โA game?โ She asked. She wondered what a game had to do with what they were doing. โYes, pick a book from the table.โโWhat?โโPick one and open it.โ He replied and Lily picked a book from the table and opened it. He pulled away from her and carried her off the table. He slowly took off everything else she had on her till she was naked. Lily stood before him shyly with the book in her hands. He pulled her to the couch in the room and she gave him a questioning look.โAxel, what are you doing?โ She asked and he ignored her question."Now sit on the couch and spread your legs. We are going to play a new game..." He ordered and she obeyed him. One thing about Lily is that she is obedient to Axel. She would do anything he ordered her to do without questioning his orders. "It's simple. If you can read a full page out loud without stopping or stuttering, I will do anything you ask me to do for you. But if you s
Lily and Axel continued with their meal in silence until his phone rang, he picked it up and placed it by his ear. Lily looked at him as he picked up the call.โIโm coming.โ He said on the call and ended it. Lily raised her brow and watched him as he stood up.โWhere are you going?โ She asked.โI have to get to work, something came up.โ He replied as he headed out.โShould I wait till you get back?โ She asked and he turned to her.โYou want to?โ โHmm.โ She replied and nodded.โDon't wait up. I might not be back till morning.โ He replied and walked out before Lily could say anything else. She sighed and continued with her meal, she was done with it and she decided to watch a movie for a while before going to bed. *******THE NEXT DAY MORNING Lily flipped through the pages of the book Axel gave her to read, she started reading it immediately after she had breakfast. Axel wasn't home, she already asked a maid if he was in and she was informed that he left the house very early in t
โLily.โ Max called, snapping her out of her thoughts.โHuh?โโLet me go through the book.โ He said, stretching his hand towards her, she held the book to her chest and shook her head.โNo, don't worry about it.โ Lily replied.โIs there a reasonโฆ โ Max trailed off as the door opened and Axel walked in. Lilyโs face lit up a little as he walked towards them.โWhat is going on?โ He asked, staring at Lily as she held the book he gave her to read firmly to her chest.โOh, Lily is confused about the book she is reading and she doesn't want me to help her with it.โ Max replied and Axel rolled his eyes.โIf she doesn't want you to help her then don't. Come on.โ He said and walked ahead of him towards the hallway. Max smiled at Lily before trailing behind Axel.They got to Axelโs study and he searched around for the file Max came to pick up. Max couldn't stop thinking about the book, he had no idea why he was so curious about it.โWhat book did you give Lily to read?โ He suddenly asked and Axel
Axel cupped her face and pressed his lips to hers. She was too shocked and confused, she tried to pull away from the kiss but Axel held her firmly. She couldn't reciprocate, all she did was part her lips and let Axel do the work. After a few more seconds, he pulled away from her and she smiled shyly at him. Her cheeks were bright red. โWhโฆ why did you do that?โ She whispered. He ran his eyes on her body and looked up at her again.โAre you done with the book?โ He asked instead, he ignored her question. โNo, not yet. I still have like a hundred pages left. I will be done by tomorrow.โ She replied as she stared at the page she was reading and closed the book.โYou read so slow.โโHmm.โ She responded and nodded her head.โDid you finish high school?โ He asked and nodded in response.โYeah, but it wasn't really a good high school and I am also not really a brilliant person. I don't know most things.โ โI can see that.โ Axel replied and she furrowed her brows.โI am dumb?โ She asked.โ
โIโm sorry Lily.โ Nora apologized as Axel held her to stop her from staggering as they made their way out of the ballroom.โIt's fine.โ Lily giggled in response. Max also trailed behind them too. They got out and Axel helped her into the car, he also got in and Nora waved at them as the chauffeur drove off. โHey.โ Max called and Nora turned to him with a questioning look. โAren't you curious about the book?โ He asked and Nora shrugged.โNo, not really. Why?โ She asked and he exhaled.โIt is just that, anytime Lily is reading it, she always has these confused expressions on, like it... โโSo?โ Nora cut him off.โIt is confusing her.โ He replied.โIt doesn't matter. Axel gave her the book to read, it is none of your business. Axel knows she isn't so brilliant when he gave the book to her, he knows she is confused so stay out of it. Why are you so bothered about it anyway?โ Nora asked and he shook his head.โIt's fine, it's nothing.โ He muttered and Nora rolled her eyes at him, she tur
NEW YORK CITYAxel groaned as he felt so uncomfortable in his seat, he was in his study trying to work. He had been feeling so uncomfortable and restless all day and he had no idea why. He wasn't bothered by anything, he had nothing to do too. He suddenly started to feel hot and he stood up, he turned to the window and loosed the first three buttons of his shirt. He suddenly heard the door open and he hurriedly pulled out a gun and turned to the door. Nora screamed in fear and flinched as she saw her brother pointing a gun at her.โWhat the fuck Axel?โ She yelled and he slowly pulled down his hand. He dropped the gun on the table and ran his hands through his hair. Suddenly his heart started to race and he held onto the table firmly.โAxel, are you okay?โ Nora asked and walked towards him. โAxel.โ She called again and he looked up at her.โI don't feel okay, I don't feel right, something feels wrong.โ He replied and she raised her brows.โWhat? What's wrong?โโI don't know.โ He
โThere you go.โ Gavin said as he fed her, she was almost done with the meal and he still hadn't eaten his yet. Lily was worried but he assured her that he was fine and she needed to eat first. He was finally done feeding her and he went back to his meal, he started to eat and at the same time, glanced at Lily.โDo you feel better?โ He asked her and she nodded in response.โSo, when next is your doctorโs appointment?โ He asked as he ate.โI think in a week when I will be giving birth.โ She replied with a smile and Gavin also smiled.โWow, I am so excited.โ โYeah, me too.โ She replied happily. โI can't wait to welcome the twins, I hope they are two girls, you really stood your ground about not knowing the gender.โโI know, I wanted to be surprised.โ โYou will be.โโOh, I hope it's two boys, I love boys.โโNah, I want girls.โ Gavin replied and they both laughed. โI don't think leaving you all alone at home is a good idea since your date might come around next week.โ Gavin said.โIt'
MONTHS LATERโHey, you good?โ Lily heard a familiar voice ask and she turned to see him. He smiled and walked towards her as she leaned on the counter in the kitchen.โYes, I am fine.โ She replied and smiled at him.โAre you sure?โ He asked as his eyes moved to her stomach.โHmm.โ Lily moaned in response and breathed out heavily. He got closer to her and he leaned closer to her then pecked her cheek. She smiled at him and he smiled back.โHow was your day?โ She asked and he shrugged. โSame as always.โ He replied and looked around the kitchen.โYou know you really don't have to make me a meal, you just need to rest.โโI am always resting Gavin, the least I can do is make you a meal.โ She replied and he chuckled.โI am so lucky to have you in my life.โ He said and she giggled in response.โHow was the doctorโs appointment today? Are the babies doing fine?โ He asked and Lily nodded. She was pregnant with twins.โYes.โ She replied.โOkay, I will be back downstairs soon.โ He said and smi
A MONTH AGOLily walked away from Axel angrily and headed towards the exit of the building. She got out and headed towards the parking lot, she just wanted to go home, she was tired already. She was about to get to the parking lot when she bumped into Malia, they both stared at each other for a few seconds and Lily turned to leave but Malia hurriedly stood in her way. โHold on.โ She said with a smile and Lily put on a straight look. She couldn't be smiling with her, she was clearly evil and would do anything to make sure she was out of the way.โWhat? What do you want?โ Lily asked and she smiled.โMum wants to see you.โ She said and Lily drew her brows together. She wondered if she just heard her correctly.โHuh?โโI said mum wants to see you. She is inside.โ Malia said and Lily rolled her eyes. Why does the night have to be about her mother? This was the same reason she got mad at Axel and now someone else was bringing it up. She kissed her teeth and was about to walk away but she
Malia walked down the altar with her arms locked with her father and a wide smile on their faces. Their wedding was the talk of the city, everyone was there! The incident about Malia faking her pregnancy months ago has been forgotten. No one cared about that. Everyone was happy about the wedding. She got to the altar and her father let go of her, she turned to her groom with a smile. The priest started the ceremony and in minutes they were saying their vows, Malia said hers happily while Axel said his without any emotions. Malia didn't care, as long as she was officially a Blackwell, she was happy. The priest announced it was time to kiss the bride and Malia leaned in for a kiss but Axel didn't miss her, he pecked her cheek instead but to the crowd, it looked like a kiss. The wedding ceremony ended in a flash and it was time for the after party. Everyone was present in the Blackwellโs ballroom except the groom, Axel. He was on the balcony all alone with a glass of vodka in his
Axel sighed as he took a seat in the dining room, he stared at the meal and suddenly lost his appetite. It felt lonely to eat alone. He turned to the maid standing next to the table and she bowed at him.โGo and get myโฆ โ He trailed off and paused when he recalled the divorce papers.โGo and get Lily.โ He ordered.โShe is not in her room sir.โ The maid replied and Axel raised his brows.โWhat?โโA maid went up to give her dinner earlier but she wasn't there.โ She said and Axelโs heart skipped a beat and he stood up immediately. He rushed out of the dining room and rushed up the stairs, he entered her room and he looked around. He rushed to her closet and saw there were still a lot of dresses there but a few were missing. He hurriedly brought out his phone to check where her location was. There was a tracker in the necklace he gave to her. He realised the tracker was indicating that she was in the room, he looked around the room and noticed the necklace on her table.He slowly w
She felt a lump in her throat as she stared at the papers. It was happening, it was real.โI already signed them, you should sign them too.โ Axel said and Lily looked up at him with so much pain. She felt it so hard to breathe and she felt like screaming out in tears.โDivorce papers?โ She managed to say with her voice trembling.โHmm.โ He replied and nodded. Lily shook her head and tears streamed down her cheeks.โNo, no. I can't signโฆ โโYou have to sign it now so it can get processed. You have until a week to leave this house, your account has enough money to take care of yourself for a year or more, at least till when you find something to do. You are to not return to this place again no matter the circumstances.โ He said and Lily shook her head. She couldn't read him, he wasn't holding any expression. Everything was happening so fast, her life came crashing down in just hours. How the hell was that possible?โAxel, please. I didn't do it.โ She pleaded in tears and he put his h
Lily remained on the spot as she cried silently, everyone was mad at her and no one was ready to believe her. She completely understood them, if she was in their shoes too she wouldn't believe herself. She knows how important the Blackwell's reputation is to them. She understood their anger. The door to the living room opened and Axel walked in, everyone turned to him and Lilyโs heart raced as she stared at him. โHow did it go?โ Nora asked and stood up from the couch.โI was able to get it off the news but it has spread on the internet. There is nothing we can do, we just have to wait till it dies down.โ Axel replied and they all sighed.โCan you see what you have caused?โ Susan asked angrily and walked towards Axel.โThis is what happens when you get married to someone from the slums of New York!โ She yelled at Axel and pointed a finger at Lily. Axel glanced at Lily and she gasped a little as she was so frightened. She found it difficult to breathe.Axel looked away from her and
The phone fell from Lily as her hand trembled. She couldn't believe what she just saw. She wished was dreaming and it wasn't real! It had to be a dream, it had to be a fucking nightmare!โOh my God.โ Nora gasped and looked up at Lily. Axel looked up at Lily and she stared at him. A lot of emotions were building up in her and she was confused about how she felt. Although she was sure of one, fear! โWhere are you coming from?โ He asked and her lips quivered as she couldn't say anything.โI asked you a question, Lily. Where are you coming from?โ He asked again. He had a cold expression, she could tell he was mad.โIโฆ I don't know.โ She whispered in response and a tear rolled down her eyes. โThis is bad. This is really bad.โ Max said as he read the news under the post.โThe rumour about Mrs. Lily Blackwell was true after all. She is a slut who has one night stand with strangers. We received information that that was how she met Mr. Axel Blackwell. Here are photos of Mrs. Blackwell wit
