WEEKS LATER
It’s been a few weeks since things have been going really well between Axel and Lily. Axel pays more attention to Lily now, he gets her anything even before she asks for it.
They go out randomly and he does a lot of shopping for her, Nora tags along most times when she wants free things.
Lily also hangs out with Nora too. It’s been weeks since Lily saw Max. According to Axel and Nora, he is out of the country on a business trip and will be back soon.
Axel still has no idea of what happened between them and she preferred it stayed that way.
She wouldn’t want anything to ruin the way things are between her and Axel, he has been the best husband anyone could wish for.
Sometimes, he works from home so they could just be together.
At parties, they are always the talk of it. They both dance and stay together till the party ends, and everyone is talking about them, they also showed up on the news one time as the best couple.
Lily was beyond happy, finally, Axel wasn’t hurting her anymore. Her fake marriage was looking like a real one and also turning into the best.
Everything now seems in order, she no longer thinks of cries, anytime she cries, it’s always to get Axel’s attention and he always drops anything just to attend to her.
Sometimes, she follows him to his warehouses just to watch him work and they both return home at night.
In short, things have been going great between them, it has been the best weeks of Lily’s life.
“Hey.” Lily heard Axel call and she snapped out of her thoughts, she looked up at him and he smiled at her. She was reading a book while he was in an online meeting.
They were both in his study and Axel was working from home. Lily decided to wait for him till he was done with his meeting while she read a book.
“Are you done?” She asked and he nodded in response, she smiled happily and dropped the book. She walked to him and sat on his lap as she got to him.
“Hmm, you seem so excited.” Axel said as he put his hand under her mini skirt.
“Yes.”
“So you missed me?” Axel asked and she shrugged.
“Maybe.” Lily replied and kissed him. Over the weeks, she had gotten better in a lot of sexual things. Axel has been teaching her.
She got better at kissing, in giving head too.
Turns out she was scared to have sex with Axel, her first two experiences with him weren’t so good. Axel decided not to pressure her in that aspect, he wanted to take things slow with her.
Lily felt more like a wife to him, he handled her like she was his business. His business was the only thing he treated with her but now, Lily too.
“Should we go on a trip?” Axel asked and Lily raised her brows.
“A trip? More like a vacation?”
“Hmm.” Axel nodded in response as he moved his hand closer to her panties.
“No, I don’t want to go on a vacation with you.” Lily said and he chuckled.
“Why?”
“In Hawaii… ”
“Don’t talk about that.” Axel cut her off and she sighed.
“All I want to say is, if you are suggesting a trip, that means there is a different reason why you want to be there.”
“Maybe.” Axel replied and Lily glared at him.
“But… ” He trailed off as his phone rang.
“Pass me my phone.” He ordered and Lily picked his phone up from the table and handed it to him.
“It’s one of the guards.” He muttered as he picked up the call and placed his phone on speaker.
“Good afternoon sir. A lady is here to see you. She says her name is Malia McCall.” The guard said and Lily gave Axel a look.
“I will be there.” He replied and ended the call.
“Why is Malia here?” Lily asked as her heart raced a little.
“I don’t know.” Axel replied and Lily drew her brows together at his response. It was odd.
Not the response though but his expression when he answered it. Lily started to get scared her happiness was about to come to an end, Malia being here could only mean one thing. Trouble!
“Axel.”
“Let me just go see her, just wait here, okay?”
Lily nodded in response and got off his lap, he stood up and kissed her forehead.
“Just relax, nothing is wrong okay?” He assured as he rubbed her arms, Lily nodded again and he kissed her lips before walking out of the room.
Lily sighed and ran her hand through her hair, even though Axel had already assured her nothing was wrong, she couldn’t help but worry.
She was too curious to be relaxed, so she walked out of his study and headed to the living room.
Axel got to the living room and met Malia seated on his couch. She smiled happily as she saw him.
“Axel.” She called with a smile and Axel kept a stern look.
“What are you doing here?” He asked and she let out a chuckle.
“Easy now baby.” Malia replied and stood up, she walked to him and was about to wrap her arms around him but Axel took a step back.
“Ugh.” Malia said and chuckled.
“If you don’t have a reason for being behind here, leave before I get the guards to throw you out.” Axel warned and she rolled her eyes.
“Oh please. Will you get the guards to throw out the mother of your first child?” She asked and Axel froze. He tried to understand what she just said, he wanted to be sure if he heard her right or wrong.
“What?” Axel asked.
“I am two weeks pregnant and it’s yours.” She replied. Before Axel could respond, he heard Lily speak up.
“What?” He heard her ask and he turned to see her standing in the living room.
“Oh, hey sis.” Malia greeted with a smile.
“Or should I call you the first wife?” Malia asked and giggled.
“Axel, what is going on?” Lily asked with her heart pounding in her chest.
“I told you to stay back.” Axel told her.
“Answer my question, what is going on?” Lily asked again.
“Oh, you don’t know? I heard you are dumb so let me explain. A pregnancy is formed when a man and a woman have sex together.” Malia said with a wide smile and Axel glared at her.
“Axel had sex with you?” Lily asked as she felt her heart-shattering.
“There he is. Ask him yourself. I believe you have your answer though, since he isn’t denying it.” Malia said and Lily turned to Axel.
“Axel, is this… ”
“How is this even possible? It was just one… ”
“I know, one time at the party. At Mrs. Blackwell’s ball, it has been a month since the party. Blah, blah, blah, you had sex with me at the party and I am pregnant. And you are the father.” Malia said and sat back on the couch.
“Axel.” Lily called in disbelief as tears welled up in her eyes and she rushed up the stairs.
“Lily.” Axel called and ran after her.
“I’m hungry.” Malia yelled and watched them go up the stairs.
“Oh well.” Malia shrugged and giggled happily.
“Lily.” Axel called as he caught up with her, he stood in front of her as she was about to go into her room.
Lily started to pace around the hallway in tears and her heart racing.
“Lily, I need you to calm down.” Axel said and she stopped pacing and faced him.
“Are you really telling me that? You need me to calm down?” She yelled at him.
“That girl downstairs is my sister. You slept with my sister at your stepmother’s party. You got my sister pregnant.” Lily yelled in tears and Axel sighed. He had no idea what to say, he was worried his words would come out wrong.
“On that day, on that fucking day, you were mad at me. You fucking left me that day, you left me to be with my sister, you got my sister pregnant!”
“No, no. I didn’t leave you to be with her. It just happened, I was drunk and… ”
“Of course, that is what you are going to blame it on. Being drunk. You made me look like a fool in front of her, do you know how hurtful this is? You cheated on me. I was alone at that party, I was so sad. I was so sad that I talked to Max, I shared my secrets with Max because I was alone, Max took advantage of that and kissed me… ”
“What? Max kissed you?” Axel cut her off.
“Fuck!” Lily cursed and ran her hands through her hair.
“You kissed Max?” He asked angrily and Lily stared at him in disbelief.
“Are you fucking thinking about that right now? You got someone pregnant, you got my sister pregnant.”
“It was a mistake. It was a fucking mistake. I didn’t mean to, I was drunk and she came to me and it just happened. It didn’t mean anything, it wasn’t supposed to even lead to this.” Axel yelled back at her.
“Well it has happened, deal with it like you always do.” Lily snapped at him and walked into her room.
“Lily… ” Axel trailed off as she slammed the door on him.
