ILLICIT AFFAIRS Seventy-Three: On Her Knees
LISA"What are you doing, Red?"I heard Axel's voice and my heart stopped in my throat because his phone was still in my hands as I contemplated my decision to read the text or not.Fuck! I cursed in my head because I knew I'd fucked up big time by snooping around on his phone when he literally just expressed his unwavering trust for me. My racing thoughts on how to remedy the situation did no good in calming my erratically beating heart.My hands were sweaty as I panicked with my mind going through thoughts of what Axel would do if he found out that I was on the verge of betraying him. I couldn't blink from the fear that he would figure out what I'd been doing in his absence.I realized just how fucking dumb i'd been at that moment and I was genuinely scared that he would hate me all over again if he figured out what I'd been seriously contemplating.He'd definitely lose his shit and be extremely furious if he caught a whiff of the fact that I was trying to read the details of Prince
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Seventy-Four
AXELI parked my car in a spot that was always reserved for me in the driveway of Prince's security corporation, he always had a long line of potential customers rolling in daily in hopes to hire him as their security detail so the driveway was packed to the brim most of the time, as a result, he'd reserved some parking spaces daily for clients he pledged a 100% loyalty to, like the Ivanovs.I opened the door of my car and stepped onto the curb, ready to strut into the building with my authoritative aura buzzing about me. In no time, I was outside the elevator that would take me to the fifth floor where Prince's office was located. I stepped in after it opened and set the elevator for the fifth floor while I leaned against the side of the elevator as it shut close and began moving.In no time, I was out of the elevator and I walked towards Prince's office. As you'd expect, on my way several workers shot a greeting or a polite bow my way as they recognized who I was. I opened the door
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Seventy-Five:
LISAThe past few days had been uneventful and underwhelming for me.It was filled with me battling the thoughts of choosing between my family and Axel which didn’t get easier as the days went by. I was slowly being drawn up into a shell of my own, one where I was constantly contemplating how to get out of this mess without hurting any of the people I loved and held dear to my heart.Well, today I decided that I wasn’t going to sulk aimlessly especially since Axel and I had planned to meet up after my last lecture of the morning at the school park.It was no secret that even emotional turmoil like what I’d been feeling recently was bound to feel much lighter and inconsequential when I got to spend some quality time with Axel and I was sure today wouldn’t be any different and in a way, that gave me hope to get through my morning lectures since I had something worth looking forward to after they’d ended.The professor prepared to leave the class after assigning topics to look out for in
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

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. After the last dinner we had at the picnic, I took special note of how her eyes widened in adoration at seeing the candles and the setup so I decided there and then to organize more romantic dinners to make her heart leap.I had to make out time especially to prepare the meals for this dinner but I was genuinely excited while cooking because I couldn't wait to see her reaction after telling her that I’d prepared all the meals from scratch.

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.
