ILLICIT AFFAIRS Seventy-Nine: Betrayed Him
Lisa’s POVAs usual, my mind was trained on the plans I’d put in place to be a few steps ahead of Axel at all times concerning the shipments. It’d been three days since the blissful candle-lit dinner we shared and I’d made sure to put things in place rather than get caught up in the moment.I successfully managed to hack his phone and dub it such that I’d always have access to his texts and calls on my phone. However, over the last couple of days, I've listened in to all his calls and read all the texts he's gotten but I was unable to get any tangible information concerning the shipment despite that. He seemed to be receiving coded texts and calls that I couldn't possibly have figured out and that left me with nothing to report back to my family about the shipment.He tried his best to avoid speaking about the shipment or business in general via calls and he’d opt for face-to-face meetings if the need to talk about the shipment arose. This left me frustrated and confused as to how I’d

Axel's POVIt was hard to leave Lisa especially since she'd expressed just how much she'd miss me for the next three days that I'll be focused solely on the shipment. She had no idea just how much I would miss her while we were apart but I loved how affectionate she'd been recent, she didn't hold back and she was the cutest version of herself with me and I loved it because I knew no one else had access to her in that way, it was priceless.As I drove off, the one thought that dominated my mind was that I couldn't wait to get both our fathers to approve of our relationship. I didn't want to sneak around with her, I wanted to be with her with the blessing of our families and while resting assured that we could confidently look forward to a future together without fear of our families' rivalry separating us prematurely. The plan I'd crafted to pull this off was brilliant but first of all, I had to ensure that the shipment's pickup and delivery were perfectly smooth.In no time I was at P

ILLICIT AFFAIRS Eighty-Two: Hey Lover Boy
AXELThe night was filled with dark clouds, so dark that there were hardly any stars and the moon was equally hidden away. It was also chilly and the road I was driving through seemed lifeless because the atmosphere was only filled with fall leaves and the rustling of the trees nearby and nothing else.The mission had been going smoothly and It had almost come to an end, my heart calmed at the realization that everything would soon be concluded and I could finally have all that I’d ever wanted.I was driving with a convoy after we’d picked up the shipment successfully, we only needed to get it to the safe house and we could tag the mission as a complete success. The road we were driving on was specially reserved at this time of the night for us alone, to the rest of the public it was closed temporarily due to unknown road hazards.This road blockage was orchestrated by a member of our team that worked in high places amongst the state’s traffic wardens. It was done so t
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Eighty-Three: Utterly Betrayed
AXELHad my eyes failed me? I believed that they really had because I must’ve been hallucinating horribly at this point. The figure before me couldn't possibly be who I thought my eyes had made me believe it was. My heart hurt so much that I begged desperately for everything to be a dream as the figure before I smiled in satisfaction despite how much pain I was in while I struggled to make sense of everything that was happening to me.I needed to get a clearer view so I managed to rub off some of the blood that had clouded my vision terribly with a shaky hand before I looked up again.And it hit me.It wasn't a dream, it felt too real to be a dream but I was in immense physical and emotional pain as I finally made peace with the fact that the figure before me was indeed that of the woman I loved more than life itself, it was truly Lisa.And worst of all, even in this very moment I didn’t hate her, I hated myself for being so vulnerable with her that I turned a blind eye to the possibi
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Eighty-Four
AXELI woke from what felt like a trance when the chilling feeling of cold water being poured down my face and entire body hit me. I felt as though I’d been electrified and anger consumed me at the thought of being treated that way, but more than anything I was confused and could hardly remember how I’d gotten to where I was.Everything that had happened in the past few hours flashed before my eyes and I winced in pain as I remembered how chaotic and emotionally draining it had been, I had no wish whatsoever to relive it- not even in my memories.With vigor, I tried to raise my head to shake off the thoughts that had begun to occupy my mind but as soon as I raised my eyes, I was met with my father’s angry face. I’d seen his angry face countless times but it was rarely ever directed at me so this was a foreign experience and I had no idea how to respond to his anger.Instead of speaking, I let my head drop while I tried to think of how I’d gotten to where I was, and more importantly -

At this point, I felt like I was barely holding on to my will to live and I wasn’t even fighting back all of the depressing feelings that had flooded my mind for the past few days.I could never ever forgive myself for betraying Axel and insulting his ego by confronting him like he didn't mean anything to me. As his wounded face flashed through my mind’s eye, I punched my pillow weakly and fell back into my bed with my face facing the sheets, I had hated every second of my life from the minute I saw how much Axel was in pain and it only got worse by the day.It had already been two days since I’d sabotaged his mission but life had only kept getting more and more miserable for me, doing anything was a chore and I couldn't stop beating myself up for how everything had played out. I hadn't gotten a blink of sleep for two nights and anyone could see that I looked like hell, every d
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Eighty-Six
LISADespite knowing who he was and why he'd come for me, as soon as his feet thudded while he landed in my room from the window, I staggered and almost fell backward because I'd lost my balance briefly. I'd been impatiently expecting him for the past few days, but his presence startled me still and my feet betrayed me by turning into jelly underneath me as I took in his physique.He took a more defensive stance on seeing me lose my balance so suddenly and I assumed that he'd mistaken my staggering for an attempt to try and call for help. On instinct, he moved dangerously closer to me and my heart got stuck in my throat as he approached me angrily."Don't you dare try to call for help" He said in an unusually dark and authoritative tone that made chills run through my spine especially since I knew that his displeasure was directed at me, even though I deserved it- it still stung like crazy having experienced it now."I wasn't trying to call for help, I swear" I barely choked out the w
