Don’t.” he interrupts sternly, sitting up onto his elbow abruptly. "Don't you ever say that to me." Her eyebrows lower and her heart pinches in her chest as she stares at him. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Don't tell me you love me because I'll never say it back to you," He said in a cold, lifeless tone. One void of the very emotions she was emitting. ******* Desperate to save her father’s life, Lilly agreed to a one-night stand with a stranger but instead, she got into a contract marriage with him and still had the one-night stand too. She thought her life would go back to normal after this but little did she know there was more to just being his wife!

She wondered what a game had to do with what they were doing. “Yes, pick a book from the table.”“What?”“Pick one and open it.” 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.“Axel, what are you doing?” 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 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.“Axel.” She called.“Do you need something?” He asked and she shook her head in response. “So what is it?” He asked. She couldn't tell if he was mad or not, she was confused.“Nothing. You have been avoiding me since what happened between us.” She replied and he sighed.“I am not apologizing to you.” 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.“Yeah, I know. I just want you to stop ignoring me.”“I am not.” He replied and she sho
“Yeah, the McCalls.” Nora replied. “I know you had a fight with their daughter at the party but it will be fine. Just ignore them.” Nora said and Lily nodded in response.“Oh, and Max will be there too.” She added.“Max is also a family friend too?”“Well, yes. He and Axel have been friends since childhood.” Nora explained and Lily nodded again.“So what exactly are you preparing me for?” “The meals we will be having tonight. Rejecting a meal by your husband’s parents will be disrespectful so you have to eat whatever they offer.” Nora replied.“Oh, I am getting better at eating weird meals. I have been eating the ones the maids prepare.” Lily replied and Nora laughed.“They are not weird. They are normal.” She said and Lily smiled.“Come on, we have a lot of eating to do.” 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
“Put the pills down, Lily.” Axel replied.“Axel, I just had an abortion.” She said with her voice trembling. “Yes.” He replied and she let out a gasp as tears welled up in her eyes. “You still have to take the last pill though.” He replied and she stared at him in disbelief.“How can you say such a thing? How can you be so cruel and heartless?” She yelled at him.“Stop overreacting over a little thing. Just take the third pill and let’s get this over with.” He replied and she scoffed, she sniffed and wiped the tears that streamed down her eyes.“You killed a child. You made me kill a child.”“It is not a child yet, it was just two weeks old.” 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. “Two weeks old is something. Why didn't you tell me? You think my opinion is not needed before you abort my child?” Lily yelled.“Oh
Lily watched Axel as kept answering different calls and ignoring some, he seemed busy, like he had a lot to do. She started to feel bad for making him stay home.“Since it's just a fever you can go to work. It's not serious.” She said softly and he looked up at her, all he did was shake his head before looking at his phone again.“It's just a fever. I am sure I can manage. When you were outside, the doctor gave me a shot and I feel better a little now.” She replied.“I will stay.” He replied without looking up at her. The door to her room opened and the doctor walked in. Axel turned to him and he had a smile on his face. Probably to hide his sad and worried expression for Lily. “Mrs. Blackwell, all you have is a fever, you will be fine.” The doctor said and Lily smiled at him.“Yes, I know. Axel told me already.” She replied and he nodded.“Have got your drugs here with me, I just want to have a few words with your husband.” He added and Axel stood up and they both walked out of the
Days passed with Lily living and adjusting to her new life. The past few days have been boring for her, she had nothing to do, she had nothing to learn, and she had no events to attend with Axel. Speaking of Axel, it has been days since she last saw him. After that night in the room, she didn't see him again. It is either he leaves before she wakes up or he comes back very late at night. Anytime she tries to wait for him so she can see him, he ends up not showing up. She felt he was mad at her and avoiding her because she checked his personal room. She just wanted to see him so badly and apologize to him. Nora also hasn’t been visiting since the last time she did, she knew Axel stopped her from doing so. Everything was just so boring for her, she felt she didn't have a life. The boredom and loneliness have made her start thinking again, she remembers her father and how it was her fault that she killed him. The guilt eats her up all over again and she ends up crying her eyes out.I
“We are live in three, two, one… ““Welcome to our live conversation, I am your host, Claire Shawn, and with me here are the city’s favourite couple, Mr&Mrs Blackwell.” Ms. Shawn and Lily put on a smile while Axel just kept a straight face. The host did the rest of the introduction and while she did it, Lily kept hoping and praying nothing would go wrong. The interview started and the questions asked were just normal ones, none of them were personal and it was all about Axel and a few about Lily. She relaxed as time went on and just went with the flow.The interview finally came to an end and Lily was relieved, she was happy she was wrong about it all going wrong. Ms. Shawn appreciated the couple for showing up and seeing them out. In minutes, Lily and Axel were back on the road heading to the mansion. They only spent a few hours there. Lily had the rest of the day free but Axel still had a lot to do. He dropped her off at home before driving himself out of the mansion. Lily dec
Axel got out of Max’s car and walked into the house, he walked into the living room and met Lily on the couch. She was asleep and the television was on. He turned to the television and noticed she was watching a kid's show before falling asleep. He checked the time and it was almost midnight, he slowly walked to her and stared at her. Axel suddenly heard footsteps and he looked up to see a maid. “Good evening sir. I had no idea you were back already.” The maid said and all Axel did was stare.“We volunteered to help her into her room when she fell asleep an hour ago but she insisted on waiting for you.” The maid said and Axel nodded, she bowed and walked away. Axel stared at Lily again and this time, he took his time in reviewing her looks. She looked like a baby as she slept, she had her arms around herself, and her legs were folded. Her lips were parted slightly and they looked so inviting. Axel recalled the night he kissed her and how she was so scared when he did. She sudde
THE NEXT DAY MORNING Lily slowly ate her breakfast as she recalled what happened the previous day, she could remember her and Nora gisting and having fun all day. She also remembered smoking too much which made her uncomfortable.She could also remember Axel saying mean words to her about her life and she couldn't help but wonder how he knew about Mrs. McCall being her mother. Thinking about everything now, she was confused by what Malia meant when she said she was supposed to be the one married to Axel. How is that possible if his stepmother was just introducing him to them at the first ball?“Ma’am.” A maid snapped Lily out of her thoughts, she turned to the maid and she bowed.“Mr. Blackwell sent for you, he is in the living room.” The maid said and Lily nodded, she gulped a glass of water before heading out of the dining room. She got to the living room and met him going through something as he stood next to the fireplace. He wasn't dressed in his usual tuxedos, he was in cas
