ILLICIT AFFAIRS 108
Axel's POVEverything felt like a blur in the past two days, time seemed to be at a standstill and nothing made sense to me asides from updates on Lisa's fragile and critical health. I'd been seated for hours in the private waiting lodge of the secluded recovery room I paid for to ensure she was being catered to in the best conditions.It felt like no time had passed yet time had dragged aimlessly for the last forty-eight hours, I was always on edge whenever the doctor approached me with news, I didn't know how I'd react if I lost her— I'd lose my damn mind, that's for sure.In over 10 hours, the last news I'd gotten about Lisa was that she was still unconscious and her vitals were unstable. Since then, I'd shuffled between pacing up and down, running my hands through my hair in frustration, feeling like my heart would burst from the scare, and refusing to speak to anyone that dared to tell me I deserved rest— rest? I'll rest when Lisa is awake and stable.Involuntarily my mind drifte
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 109
AXELSIX MONTHS LATERMy entire life had been turned upside down ever since Lisa disappeared from the hospital, it hurt like hell that the moment I’d gotten her back, I’d lost her without single trace. I’d been wild the day she disappeared, I was fucking angry at everyone and I raided the hospital angrily.I spat threats out and shook the very foundations of the entire hospital because I needed at least a single clue as to how Lisa had disappeared. But no single person had any reasonable information to offer me and my heart had sunk with fear, what if I’d lost her forever?I regretted having gone for the meeting that day and leaving her unattended, the two days when I didn't step out of the hospital she’d been perfectly safe and then the second I left, she was suddenly lost to the fucking wind? I blamed myself and feared what would become of me if I never found her.Every day for the last six months had been a recurring nightmare, I was living in a world where Lisa wasn't by my side an
ILLICIT AFFAIRS 110
Lisa's POVMy disappearing act was the most unplanned and spontaneous decision I'd ever made in my life and now I'd realized that it was a poorly thought-out decision, one that only caused the people I loved more pain than the relief I'd expected it to bring them.As much as it literally blew my mind that I'd finally gotten married to the man I wouldn't have dared to dream of while I was growing up, I couldn't stop myself from feeling like a burden and a magnet of unfortunate events for him.It was bothersome that I could easily trace every misfortune that had befallen him back to myself, it was as though I was a catalyst for his misery over and over. It felt as though trouble trailed dangerously close behind me and affected everyone in my life, most especially Axel.I'd broken his heart and betrayed him, stolen a shipment that he'd worked tirelessly to procure, and made being a hostage a mentally challenging chore for him, and now I'd been oblivious to the fact that I was being used a
ILLICIT AFFAIRS FINAL CHAPTER
AXELI still couldn't believe my eyes, just like I couldn't believe everything that had happened for the past 2 hours but one thing was real. Lisa was here by my side, wearing my ring as we walked out of the airport hand in hand and into the car that was already waiting for us.“But how did you do this?” I finally asked, speaking for the first time since I confirmed that she was the one sitting beside me on the plane, “how were you able to make that happen?” I asked as the car drove us to the hotel we booked for our honeymoon. “My brother-in-law helped me,” she sassed, leaning closer to me like she has been doing since we entered the car. It was like she couldn't believe that I was here and she needed to feel my body to confirm that. Not that I was complaining though. I'd gladly allow her to enter my body if that's why she needed it. “Your brother-in-law? Prince?” I asked incredulously suddenly slammed with the idea that Prince somehow knew of where she was all these while but I k
ILLICIT AFFAIRS EPILOGUE
LISA A YEAR LATER Have I just spent the absolute best year of my life? Yes. Best was such an understatement to describe the year I just had. Axel made sure to keep on his promise of being the best thing that has ever happened to me and each day was better than the last. And he also made sure to keep up with the promise of putting babies inside me during our honeymoon because here I was, heavily pregnant and the scan has confirmed that we were expecting twins. Axel has never allowed me to hear the end of it. He was always bragging about his skills and all those yadayada nonsense and that was how he was able to impregnate me during our three months honeymoon. Yeah, we did use three months for our honeymoon and I was sure we were the only couple that had done that. I wanted us to go back after a month but Axel had insisted that we spent three months and in the end, it was all because of me. He wanted me to learn all the things I've mentioned that I wanted to learn while making sure
ILLICIT AFFAIRS One: Lisa Volkov
LISA"Wow, girl, you look so stunning," my roommate, Cayetana, Tana for short gushed as she gazed at my body and outfit up and down, her jaws practically on the floor with his shocked she was."Who would have thought you could be this... Stunning!?" she exclaimed!"Don't be overdramatic, Tana, I look just normal.""Normal? Girl, there's nothing normal about you and your outfit. Just take a look at yourself."She whirled me around so I could stare at myself in the mirror and my jaws slacken at the girl staring back in the mirror. I've always been a pants and baggy tops girl. In fact, for the whole of the 3 years that I've spent in St. Williams, I've never dressed up like this, I've never even thought of dressing up like this.I was a nerd, an IT girl who's always on glasses and baggy clothes, and Tana, my roommate since 100l who's outgoing and is always attending all the parties both on and off campus has finally gotten tired of how holed up I've always been indoors and now, she has su
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Two: First Encounters
LISAI hated to admit it but the fact that I absolutely disliked the existence of Axel Ivanov does not mean I'd dispute a fact that couldn't even be arguable.He was good, effortlessly good when it comes to racing. He was on the third round after effortlessly winning the first two rounds and now, the distance between him and the other cars seemed to be an unbeatable one.Scratch that, it was an unbeatable one. After winning the first two rounds, he had had this self-satisfied, I told you so smirk on his face and he had faked bowing repeatedly to the crowd's cheers and applauses as if he was fucking humbled by his winning when he was, in fact, gloating in it.That asshole.The cheers and applauses grew more frantic and louder as this car neared the finish spot and now, most people, if not all were on their feet and screaming insanely. I wished a miracle would happen and someone would overtake him so they'd wipe that stupid smirk off his face.But miracles like that were incapable of
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Three: The Challenge
LISAWe both entered our various cars at the same time.I turned sideways to look at him to meet him staring at me too, with a smug look in his eyes. He smirked at me at the same time the whistle went off and off he went.The crowd cheered for him and I smirked before finally going off, allowing myself to go slow for the first few minutes while he had already raced off and was probably feeling himself and laughing at my stupidity for daring to challenge him.Let's see who's stupid now. I pressed down on the accelerator and off I went. I didn't even think, didn't think about meeting him and leaving him behind as the rush of adrenaline took over and over and excitement filled my entire body.I've missed doing this.I soon caught up with him and I glanced at him to see him glance at me too, mouth ajar with shock and despite our attempt to outrace each other, we remained in the same line, only outrunning each other for brief seconds at intervals.I wasn't even surprised because I knew he
