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
“Great, let’s play a game then.” He said and she raised her brows curiously.“A game?” She asked. 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 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.“I’m coming.” He said on the call and ended it. Lily raised her brow and watched him as he stood up.“Where are you going?” She asked.“I have to get to work, something came up.” He replied as he headed out.“Should I wait till you get back?” She asked and he turned to her.“You want to?” “Hmm.” She replied and nodded.“Don't wait up. I might not be back till morning.” 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
“No, no. Please, you have to do something about it. You can't just leave him, he will die.” Lily cried out as the doctor broke the news to her.“But there is nothing I can do about it. We have tried to keep him stable for so long now and I don't think he has much time left. He needs an immediate kidney transplant.” The doctor replied and Lily sniffed as more tears streamed down her eyes.“Then give him mine. I am ready to… ““I have told you countless times that we can't. Somehow, you guys don't match. Going ahead with it can you both you and your father.” The doctor replied and she fell to her knees immediately.“Please, please, doctor.” She cried and the doctor tried to pull away from her but her grip on him was tight.“Your father has forty-eight hours left, he won't make it without a new kidney. We have one that already matches his but we need you to pay before we commence the surgery, the donor isn't going to give it for free. We need four hundred thousand dollars to carry this o
Lily gulped as she heard her mother’s words, she felt knives piercing her heart as she stared at her.“Mum.” A voice suddenly called and a girl about Lily’s age showed up in the living room. “Hey, baby.” Her mother’s face lit up and the girl took a seat next to her and hugged her.“Who is she?” The girl asked and her mother waved her hand in the hair.“No one. She is irrelevant.” Her mother replied and turned away from her and paid attention to the girl.Lily felt like everything happening was all a dream but it was not, the pain she was feeling in her chest was real. The tears that streamed down her cheeks were real.They got into a conversation and ignored Lily who was still on her knees. She slowly stood up and walked out of the house with the guard. He escorted her till she got out fully and the gate closed. Lily exhaled heavily as tears streamed down her eyes again, she slowly brought out her phone with trembling hands and teary eyes. She checked the time and breathed out heav
“Please, don't kill me.” The middle-aged man pleaded as he stared at the ruthless man who pointed a gun at his head.“You can't break codes and expect to get away with it. And you know, if you are caught the punishment is death.” Axel replied and the man shook his head in tears.“Please, I... “ The man trailed off as he pulled the trigger and the bullet pierced his head, he fell dead and blood gushed out of his head. Axel stared at the blood as it flowed to his feet. He turned to the guard next to him and threw the gun towards him, he caught it with ease and bowed.“Clean up this mess.” He ordered and walked out of the warehouse.He got out and headed towards his car, he got in and his phone rang as he ignited the car.He glanced at the caller and rolled his eyes to see it was his father.He picked up the call as he drove into the streets.“Axel.”“I’m listening.” He replied rudely,“Tomorrow is the deadline.”“Deadline? For what?”“For you to bring a wife. What is wrong with you? D
With trembling hands, Lily slowly took off the underwear and she was naked before him. He ran his hand on her body and she wrapped her hands around her breasts.“Let go.” He ordered and she slowly let go of her breast. He had a better view and he stared at them. She tried to stop crying and just accept her fate. This was what life signed up for her.“Get on the bed.” He ordered further and she slowly did. He got on the bed too and she froze as she lay on it. Her heart was racing so fast and she wished it was over already.He was about to lean closer to her when she stopped him.“Wait.” She said and he paused. He wondered why he was being gentle with her, he was nothing like this. According to his routine, he would be rough with the girl and treat her like a slut that she is. But here he is, listening to her.“Please turn off the lights.” She said staring at him, he stared at her for a few seconds before getting off her and turning off the lights. Lily exhaled in relief a little, she
“What?” She asked as her smile faded immediately.“I’m so sorry. Your father is dead. He died an hour ago.” He replied and the bag fell from Lily. “What? What?! How can he be dead? You said he still had eight hours left yesterday and right now, there is still supposed to be twenty-four hours left.” She raised her voice a little.“I know. I miscalculated.”“You miscalculated?” She screamed at him in tears and it got the attention of everyone in the hallway.“Miss. Harris, please… ““Don't you dare! Don't you dare tell me to calm down. I have the money already, I got the money, you told me I had forty-eight hours left.” She cried.“He was alive up until an hour ago. If you had shown up earlier we would have still done something about it. I am really sorry Miss. Harris. I truly am.” The doctor replied and walked away leaving Lily on the spot in tears.‘It is my fault! It is my fault!’ She screamed in her head. Only if she hadn't taken so long in the shower, or she wasn't so relaxed that
