Kelly smiled widely as she walked out of the house, she walked to Axel who was leaning on the car dressed in his tuxedo.
“I am ready.” She giggled as she got to him.
“I guess we are the only ones going.” Kelly said, she was about to lean closer to Axel when they heard footsteps behind them.
She turned to see Axel and Nora dressed, Kelly faked a smile at Nora which made her roll her eyes.
“I see you guys changed your mind.” Kelly said to Max and he nodded.
“Yeah, let’s go get Lily.” Max replied. Max and Nora rode in the car they had with them while Axel and Kelly rode in Kelly’s car.
They all headed to the party.
On their way, Kelly kept trying so hard for Axel to notice her but he wasn’t paying attention to her. They eventually got to the location, it was being held at a mansion of one of the biggest gangsters in Russia.
They parked their cars and made their way out, Nora and Max locked arms and headed in without waiting for Axel and Kelly.
Axel looked around, it was filled but there weren’t any reporters around. Just normal guests.
Axel was about to make his way in when Kelly stopped him. He gave her a questioning look and she smiled.
“Don’t you think it would be weird going in alone?” She asked. Axel raised his brows, he had no idea where she was going with her question.
“What I mean is, we should go in as a couple just like Max and Nora. It will be less suspicious that way.” Kelly said.
All Axel did was stretch his hand to her, she smiled and locked hands with him then they both made their way in.
They got in and Axel looked around, the party was organized. A few people on the dance floor. Some gathered and talked. Everyone just did their thing.
Axel noticed Max and Nora amongst other couples as they tried to blend in. Max looked in Axel’s direction and he gave him a look before looking in another direction. Axel looked in that direction and noticed Lily.
She was standing next to El Diablo who was having a conversation with some men.
Surprisingly she was staring at him too but she was glaring. Not at him but at Kelly. Axel noticed, he pulled Kelly closer to himself and Kelly giggled a little. She had no idea what was going on.
Lily gritted her teeth as she fought every urge to walk towards them and do something irrational.
Axel looked away from her and walked towards Max and Nora with Kelly.
El Diablo turned to Lily and noticed she looked upset, he tapped her and she turned to him.
“Are you okay?” He asked, she slowly smiled and nodded in response.
“I know your husband has arrived.” He said and Lily chuckled.
“You know everything, don’t you?” She asked as she took a sip out of her drink. El Diablo looked around, but he couldn’t find Axel. He turned back to the men he was having a discussion with and stopped thinking about him, he knew Lily would never disobey him.
The party went on for a while, everyone was doing their thing. A lot of illegal activities were going on too. Like auctioning of humans and illegal properties.
Lily searched around for Axel again, she found him standing next to Nora, Max, and Kelly.
Axel also stared at her, they held each other’s gaze.
Axel slowly looked away from her and whispered something to Kelly, she nodded with a smile and he walked away from the party.
Lily hurriedly turned to El Diablo and tapped him.
“I really have to pee.” She said and stood up before he could give her a response, she took the same direction Axel took.
She got to a hallway and looked around, it was a little bit dark so she couldn’t see clearly.
“Axel.” She called and looked around. She sighed and ran her hand through her hair, she was upset she lost up.
She suddenly turned and flinched, he was standing behind her and she didn’t notice.
“You fucking scared me.” She muttered as she exhaled heavily. Axel didn’t say anything, he just stared at her and waited for her to speak.
Lily, on the other hand, wanted him to say something, she wanted him to yell so she could cry and apologize. He was being cold which scared her a lot.
Since no one said anything, Lily decided to speak up.
“Kendra called. She said you haven’t been picking up their calls, can you at least do so?” She asked. Axel nodded in response.
“And your arm?” She asked. He didn’t give any response to that question.
“Axel, I’m sorry.” She said softly. Again, he didn’t say anything.
“Please say something.” She pleaded with tears welling up in his eyes. He was about to speak when they both heard a voice.
“Axel.” The person called. Axel turned to see Kelly walking towards them. Lily stared at her till she got to them.
“Hey.” Kelly called with a smile and Lily raised her brows. She wondered who she was but that didn’t matter at that moment. All she knew was that she was so mad at the lady.
“You must be Lily. Nice to finally meet you. I am Kelly.” She introduced herself and stretched her hand to Lily for a handshake. Lily stared at it and ignored it.
“Okay.” Kelly chuckled.
“Where have you been? I was worried.” She said softly and locked her arms with Axel’s. Lily scoffed loudly and Kelly looked at her.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Is something wrong?” Kelly asked with a mocking smile. Before she could blink, Lily suddenly pulled her towards her roughly.
She groaned and punched Lily in the face.
Lily froze for a few seconds and chuckled before punching her in the face. Kelly groaned as she felt the pain, in a flash, Lily grabbed her hair roughly and pinned her face to the wall.
Kelly cried out in pain as Lily pulled her hair and held her face firmly to the wall. All Axel did was watch.
“Listen carefully bitch. I don’t fucking care who you are or where the hell you came from but that man you are all over is my fucking husband. Whenever you are around him, you stay five fucking feet away from him or else I will chop your hands off.”
“Is that fucking clear?” She asked and pulled her head harder. Kelly cried in pain.
“Yes.” She said in pain.
“You stay five feet apart from my man. Say it with me. Five feet apart.”
“Five feet apart.” Kelly cried in response. Lily wasn’t ready to let go of her, she was taking all her frustration out on her.
Axel pulled Lily away from her and she jerked her arms away from him. Kelly creased her scalp as she fought her tears.
Lily turned to walk away but she paused and turned to Kelly again.
“And it’s Lily Blackwell. Get it right.” She said and walked away.
Kelly sniffed and looked at Axel.
“You could have stopped her sooner.” She said and Axel put his hand in his pants pocket as he watched her in pain.
“Why? You wanted to meet my wife and you met her.” Axel replied and Kelly rolled her eyes.
Kelly was about to walk closer to him and he gave her a look.
“You want to get your hands chopped off? Five feet apart.” Axel said and Kelly clenched her fist in annoyance.
