All Chapters of ILLICIT AFFAIRS: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Axel's POVAfter the previous day’s call with Lisa’s father, I was prepared for a more dramatic day than it was because I was ready to pull all the strings I possibly could to track down my lost shipment, or better still, get him to hand it over by surrendering.It was bright and early in the morning, and I was in the study of the safe house where I’d been doing some important paperwork. It hadn't been up to thirty minutes since I’d gotten started on the paperwork before I was irritatingly interrupted by my phone’s incessant buzzing while it rang out loud.As I looked down at my phone on the desk, I noticed that the number wasn't saved on my phone so I guessed it might be a new client or one of our anonymous dealers that reached out with different numbers, so I immediately accepted the call and held the phone up to my ear.“You Bastard!” Was the first thing I heard screamed right into the receiver and I pulled the phone away from my ear briefly because of the unexpected tone that reso

Axel’s POVFLASHBACK***After I’d blurted out the question about whether all the memories we’d spent, her replies seemed to have been off- it was as though she didn’t believe what she’d said to me. The entire conversation fucked with my mind In ways I didn’t expect and that did a number on me.As soon as I walked out of the room where she’d been in, I headed straight for the training room because I felt the weight of conflicting emotions in my heart. It made me angry that she still had an effect on me despite her betrayal and I just needed to let out some steam before I took out my anger on someone else.I walked in long and impatient strides and reached the training room in no time, as soon as I walked in I went straight for the punching bags where I usually found solace in times like these. I put on some gloves hurriedly because I needed to let out my frustration badly before it consumed me.The moment I started hitting the punching bags, my emotions were in a whirlwind and I punche

Lisa's POVI struggled to regain my composure as I saw that my apologies weren't even getting to him, he truly seemed unaffected by everything I'd said. As hard as it was, I tried to keep my eyes on him because I'd hoped he'd read them and find sincerity, but he barely looked at me while I spoke."I'm sorry for everything I did that's hurt you," I said but It seemed like the words had fallen on deaf ears since he didn't dignify me with an expression or response.I watched Axel move the heel of his feet in an unusual rhythm instead of responding to my pleas, it felt as though my apologies had done nothing to calm him. Instead, it seemed to have gotten him angrier at me, especially now. But I needed to get through to him so I didn't have plans to stop apologizing just yet."I'm so sorry, Axel" I started to speak again and he shook his head as though he simply couldn't believe a word that left my lips."I really am, please," I re-emphasized but it did nothing to move him, he seemed hell-

Axel’s POVAll of the feelings that ravaged my being of recently had been foreign to me entirely, I’d never been one to fall victim to the matters of the heart, and usually, I took them too lightly for their outcome to affect me.But with Lisa, it was as though my heart crossed every single warning cone I’d put up, pushed all the guards surrounding my heart, and what ent all the way fucking in. How much I loved her felt like it was the necessity to breathe in oxygen every damn second.How on earth could a person feel this deeply for another? I wondered.The fact that I’d lasted through a conversation about how she’d made me feel despite how much it hurt to, proved that I indeed still felt our connection hadn't been severed yet.Here she was, after eavesdropping and listening to the new plan she now wanted to help cement it since she knew her father best compared to me and Prince. Her pleas only upset me because she didn't have a right to be offering to fix what she fucked up in the fi

AXELI covered my eyes with my palm as though I was ashamed of what we'd just done. If I was being sincere, it's the best thing that has happened to me since the betrayal, everything else had caused me a higher ratio of pain than pleasure in comparison to the exhilarating sex we'd just enjoyed.A low groan left my throat as I rubbed my eyes a little roughly, and moved away from where she lay beside me. We must've drifted off to sleep after tiring ourselves out because I felt slightly better rested just by having her in my arms for what must've only been a few minutes of deep sleep.Even with the knowledge of what we'd just done, and the sex flashbacks from our heated sex being replayed in my head, I couldn't believe that I'd let myself have sex with her. How did she know just how to trigger my primal lust and longing for her? Shit, I'm done for.As much as I wouldn't take back the fact that we'd just fucked, I couldn't stop myself from feeling like I'd betrayed myself. A feeling of se
