ILLICIT AFFAIRS Seventy-Six
Axel’s POVAs I drove to the school premises where I was meant to meet Red, I could barely contain my excitement because I’d get to see her finally after being away from each other for the past few days. I’d been in and out of meetings but I managed to make my schedule lighter today so that I’d be able to spare time to see her, I’d always make time for her because she was my everything.In a way I couldn’t phantom or explain, all my bad days and all the pressure I felt in my dangerous line of work were off my shoulders with every second I spent with her and that’s a feeling I needed especially since I was preparing for a very important shipment which had stressed me out for the last few days.In a few minutes, I’d arrived at the school premises and I began to find a place to park that was closest to the park where we’d agreed to meet. I was a few minutes later than the time we’d initially agreed to and knowing how Red kept to time no matter what, I was sure that she’d probably been wa
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Seventy-Seven
Lisa's POVA promise to be with me from the man I adored more than anything brought tears to my eyes, I knew that I’d gotten that promise out of him through manipulative means but somehow it still melted my heart and made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world as he proclaimed it to me.As much as I loved Axel, I was being manipulative because I had no other idea how to get myself out of the situation that had plagued me for days endlessly. Deep down, I knew that I would most likely end up regretting my decision to manipulate the man I love, but my moral compass had been dwindled dangerously by the winds of life that affected me recently and I just needed to fucking breathe for once.I hoped sincerely that when everything was over, I would still be the one he chooses unconditionally and stick by even though he’d have been hurt by me. I knew more than anything that it was crazy and probably selfish to hope for that, but I didn't choose to fall insanely in love with my enemy neithe
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Seventy-Eight
Axel’s POVWhen I set up a meeting earlier with Lisa on the school’s premises, she must’ve thought that we’d simply catch up on each other’s lives and then go our separate ways. Little did she know that I’d also planned a lovely candle-lit dinner for us back at my place, I enjoyed seeing her reactions to my surprises and that always moved me to do more and do better for her every single time.It was so easy for me to go out of my way while making preparations for her because there's nothing I wouldn't give just to see a smile on her gorgeous face.

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
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Eighty
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.
