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
“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
“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
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
