The Billionaires Revenge. [Needs Edit. Complete]

Chapter Nineteen

How are you supposed to feel after you've had romantic sex with someone you shouldn't forgive? Lying in the bed next to Axel all I could think about was him. His proximity, his scent his everything just clouded my mind. This was the man who helped me bring a child into the world. Did I have a hero fascination? He had given me something I had wanted without even knowing it. Ennie was my reason for being, and yet Axel seemed to now fit in there somehow. I don't know how he had wormed his way into my life like this. I still didn't believe him completely, but I couldn't help feeling something for him. He was the father to my baby girl, he was the one who helped create this little life. We'd always be a part of each other, joined by this little girl.

Axel was the father that Athena deserved.

Sitting up I picked up my clothes and lazily stood up, walking to the shower. I needed to do things today. I was supposed to pick some party decorations up for Athena's fifth birthday. Turning the water on, I tapped my finger impatiently on the glass door. Once the water was at the right temperature, I felt like I had gone on auto pilot. I was clean and fresh with a towel wrapped around me when I reentered the bedroom. I smiled slightly at Axel who was sitting up in the bed, leaning against the headboard. "So are we good for now?" Axel questioned.

My feet froze at his words. I wondered, are we good? He said he wasn't going to hurt me? Had I forgiven him for what he had done? The things he had said. His words have still lingered in the back of my head and no matter how much I had tried to push them away, at the most inconvenient times it would pop up. Like now. Are we good? We're as good as its going to get for a while anyway. I nodded my head at him, but he looked like he wasn't satisfied.

"What is it Axel?"

He stood up and I had to remind myself that I needed to do things, his body looked very inviting. My wayward hormones were whispering things. I quickly pushed them away and tilted my head, he approached me and placed a hand on my cheek.

"I want you to be mine and only mine." Axel murmured.

His cheeks tinged a little red and I found myself feeling a little amused. With a small smile I gave a little chuckle, "You mean you want to be exclusive and go steady?" I teased. Axel's eyes narrowed at my joke. His hands snaked around my waist and pulled me into him with a grin, I squealed in surprise as his head dipped low, his lips hovering over mine.

"Yes, if that's the way that you want to put it." He growled out.

I smirked and looked up at him, "Sure. Lets go steady." I chuckled, sealing it with a kiss. I pulled away before the kiss could deepen. My mind was set, I needed to get out of the bedroom and away from temptation to stay in bed all day. Slinking into my wardrobe I quickly dressed and came out to see Axel dressed in the clothes he'd been in before we had our moment together.

"Maybe I should bring some clothes over." Axel said.

I cocked a brow at him and laughed, shaking my head, "Hold your horses bucko. That's so not happening." I walked toward my door and was pulled back. It was honestly, getting slightly annoying, I was trying to go and do things. I spun around with a frown, ready to tell Axel off when I noticed his face. It was so... relaxed. He seemed happy, like, genuinely happy. Did I have this effect on him? How? We hadn't really been together that long. In fact, officially, we'd been together for about a minute.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"I need to go to the store, Ennie's party is soon and I need to get a few things." I replied.

Axel smiled, "I can take your list, I still have some things I need to get for her as well." I opened my mouth to protest but Axel shook his head. "Athena wants to see you." He said placing a small kiss on my lips. I nodded my head at him, gave him my list and kissed him once more before he left. I felt satisfied with Axel. Things seemed to have fallen into place. Things weren't perfect, but they weren't haywire. We had things to work on, like every other couple. Couple. We were a couple. Wow. I wouldn't have ever pictured this as a possibility.

"MAMA!" A voice bellowed as I walked into the Kitchen. A small impact with arms wrapped around my legs. I smiled down at the little girl,

"Hi Ennie," I grinned, dipping down and scooping the little girl up and spinning her in my arms. Athena clung to me and giggled. When I stopped I kissed her forehead and smiled. "It's your birthday tomorrow." I whispered. I couldn't believe that, shaking my head I placed her down and took her hand. She'd asked Axel if she could go to the park with me. I picked up a ball, we took a guard and we were off, walking down to the park.

For a few minutes I sat on a chair and watched as Athena played, the little girl ran up to me with a big grin on her face. "Mama." She said smiling, she offered me the ball and pulled my hand as we got to a small grassy clearing. We started throwing the ball around and playing catch.

"Is Daddy going to stay?" Athena asked.

I frowned, "What makes you ask that?" I said a little puzzled by her question.

"Daddy was in your bed... Mummies and Daddies that live together have the same bed..." She trailed off looking at me. There was hope and so many other delightful things in her eyes. I was once again reminded at how frail a child's innocence could be. Biting my lip I sighed and shrugged my shoulders. I caught the ball and held it to my side,

"I don't know Ennie, I can't tell the future baby. I do know that your Daddy cares about you, he cares a lot!"

Athena smiled at me, seeming satisfied with my answerl, being a little distracted from my chaotic mind my throw was terrible and it went right over her head. I watched her face warp into happy to a little annoyed. "Sorry baby, that was a terrible throw."

She pauses from her persuit of the ball and smiles up at me, patting my arm. "No Mama..." She grinned, "That was a great throw!" She turned to the ball and picked it up. She threw the ball back at me and after a few more aweful throws and her reassuring me that they were great she looked at me with a tilted head,

"When we say something nice, even when we don't mean it at all, that's called being polite, right"

I looked at the little girl and my jaw dropped. I wasn't sure why it had shocked me, I giggled a little to myself. My daughter really was something else. As I opened my mouth to reply my phone rang. I frowned and looked down at the number, it was Lyn.

"Hello?" I answered.

"El, you need to get to the hospital!" He frantic voice blabbed.

The first thing I thought about was my dad. Was he okay? what happened, "Lyn... What's going on?" I don't think that I could go through this again. I hated seeing my father that way the first time. I hated hospitals. I bit my lip, about to tell him that I was going to wait.

"I was out shopping for Ennie's birthday present..." His words were going in one ear and out the other, I was totally zoning out until I heard the shocking words that I wasn't expecting.

"Axel got hit by a car."

AN: I just want to say that I don't know why I made this a Romance when I suck at it!
