Good riddance! Her audacity still baffles me, for real. I was almost at the edge of hurting her earlier. How dare she try to come into my home and break it with some story about her being pregnant for my husband. I threw my head backward and laughed wholeheartedly for a long time till my stomach aches and tears spilled out of my eyes.I don't want to admit it but I was scared that she'll steal Jaxon's attention away from me using her pregnancy as bait. The thought deeply bothered me to the extent that I was considering having a child for Jaxon also. I'm sure that he'll love my child more since he loves me but a part of me believes that he loves her.A tear rolled out of my eyes at that thought and I felt my heart squeeze and I choked on my breath, as I tried to breathe properly. It hurts that I love him so much to the extent that mere thoughts about him with another woman moved me to tears and it made me feel this hurt and bitter.I couldn't help but wonder how I'll feel if it reall
"You know, I never thought that I'll be in my private jet with the love of my life, going on a vacation this year. The way everything happened so fast between us still amuses me, I mean can't you remember the first time we met in my office, you literally walked into my office breathing out invisible fire! You were so angry that day" I said while laughing seriously, I stared at Ayla when I didn't hear a response from her."You look worried, mind sharing what's bothering you?" I asked as I held her hand and she jerked up immediately, I looked at her eyes with worry and concern laced in mine, "babe, what's going on? You know that you can tell me anything right?" I asked with my brows pulled together."I'm fine, I'm just thinking about everything that happened during the last few days. They're not my worst days and they ain't my best also" she said staring at the view outside the private jet through the window, " it's so beautiful and bright from up here" she gasped as she covered her mo
"Ohh, how about you catch me first?" She asked as she ran away from me laughing happily while I just jogged after her because I know that if I run, I'll catch her without even trying to do so."Geez! You're such a fast runner" I groaned playfully as I jogged after her while she kept on running around the place happily and I took my phone out of my jeans. I started snapping and making short videos of her to my heart's content."It's not my fault that you're such a slow poke!" She yelled, sticking out her tongue at me and I ran towards her. I caught her in my arms and we twirled around the place as she laughed out loud. It sounded so beautiful and full of life, I didn't want that laugh to stop. I wanted to listen to more of that melodious and heart soothing, calming laughter of hers."Stop it, you're tickling me!" She screamed as she laughed and tried to wiggle herself out of my arms but she was unable to and I tickled her even more.We played so much to the extent that my body was fil
I enjoyed myself yesterday. Jaxon and I went to his private penthouse after the storm was over that night. We got there the next morning, we decided to have fun and chill. We cooked, or he actually cooked for us and we ate.We enjoyed the rest of the day chilling and eating junk food while watching the movies of my choice."You're finally up? I wanted to wake you up to tell you that we were home but I couldn't bring myself to wake you up especially when you were looking so innocent and tired in your sleep. Should I massage your body for you again today?" He asked with a sweet smile as he walked into the room on a singlet and joggers.My insides churn as I stared at his broad chest, I looked away shyly when I saw him smirking at me."Done staring?" He asked with an arrogant smirk sitting prettily on his hot face, an arrogant smirk that I got addicted to over the days, the same arrogant smirk that always annoys the hell out of me that suddenly looks so cute to me. I couldn't ever get
I was sitting on a chair in front of the emergency unit in the hospital. She was bleeding seriously, so we had to rush her here immediately and I felt so disturbed and pained not because of what happened to her but because of how Jaxon has been ignoring and snubbing me since that incident happened.I still feel disappointed at how things turned out, I mean how can you claim to love me and you don't trust me enough to give me the chance to explain what actually happened, he didn't even give me the benefit of doubt.The only reason why I was not heartbroken was because I knew that I would have behaved worse if I saw him pushing my ex boyfriend, who came back to cause a rift between us, down the stairs. Thinking about it all now, I just hope that this isn't one of her schemes to cause a rift between Jaxon and I, because if it is, then she succeeded! "Xav! You're not going to say anything?" I asked while he snubbed me like he has been doing ever since the incident happened. I just lick
I covered my face with my palm and cried my eyes out, hating myself for feeling this way because of a person who doesn't even care about me or my feelings. I was literally hoping and praying that Lisa will say the truth once she wakes up and he'll regret treating me like this.The only thing on my mind as I cried out my eyes was how did we get here, like how did we manage to get to this stage? We went from loving and treating each other like the most valuable person in the world to treating each other like an enemy, an enemy that we hate with our full breast, heart and mind who we will go to any extent to hurt or ruin.The door suddenly beeped and the doctor stepped out, Jaxon rushed to meet him and sat down there staring at them."How is she and the baby, doctor?" He asked impatiently, staring at the doctor's face with an hopeful gaze."I'm sorry but..." "What do you mean by you're sorry? Did something bad happen to her? Doctor, wants going on? Why are you staring at me in silen
"Sasha, he hates me so much right now" I mumbled, staring up at her with my teary and messed up face."You look so messed up, darling. Common, let me help you out of here and let's talk. I'm sure that he's just angry, he doesn't hate you and he'll never hate you" she assured me as she helped me up from the hospital floor. "Yo... You need to.. to see the way he yelled at me, even his gaze scared me so much" I cried as we walked out of the hospital together."Shhh, it's fine. Just sit down quietly and let's talk about it over a few shots of drink" she told me as she helped me into her car, she shut the door after she also entered the car."Drive us to our usual spot" she told the driver."Yes, ma!" He said and drove out of the hospital, she pulled me into her arms and patted my back trying to comfort me while I just cried in her arms."We are here, ma'am" the driver announced and I looked out of the window to see that we were standing right in front of LA POPLA, the right place I want
"You can never succeed even if you try cause he's...." I trailed off as I remembered that someone already succeeded in stealing my man from me.She clicked her tongue on her teeth loudly as she stared at me with a cheeky smile urging me to continue my story."By the time I woke up from my daydreaming, the time was far past so, I got down from the bed gently and tried to help myself with getting to the dining room. I was about to climb down the stairs when Lisa stepped out of her room, so I decided to wait for her to pass before I did since my legs were still hurting, so I allowed her to use the stairs first. She fell off the stairs" I cried bitterly as I covered my eyes."I swear that I didn't push her! She staged everything that happened, that lady is crazy and she'll go to any extent to prove that she's the one in charge. I saw that there was oil on the floor, it was right in front of her and when I saw that she was about to step into it, I tried to drag her back but I was unable
One month later..."Careful baby, You don't want to hurt yourself." I said to the kids as they were playing under the ramp. I begin to reminisce back to everything that happened over the course of one month.I could still hear the words of the doctor to Ayla and myself. I had escaped the hands of death because the bullet missed my heart by an inch. Everything had changed since that moment, the company was back to fully functioning and I had dropped all shady deals that Alex had signed using the company's influence. The underworld had gone back to the way it used to be, with Levi being given a befitting tribute by every gang out there I suddenly felt arms wrapped around my torso and her cologne would always mesmerize me. She placed a kiss on my neck, as I squeezed her hands gently."You know something babe, I have been thinking we should move out of our comfort zone. This house would always bring the trauma of past events and we want to be happy right?" Ayla suggested and I agreed
Once the door to the elevator opened, we rushed outside the company to find Alex already surrounded by the police. "It's over Alex, just give it up. Your time has come to an end." I yelled out. "You had this all planned out didn't you?" He asked, his hands raised in the air. "You failed to prepare properly. I have been planning a raid on you for the past weeks, watching your every move constantly. I want you to know that when the time comes, the law will always catch up with you."One of the policemen with the cuffs stepped forward and held his hands. In a matter of seconds, I watched him pull out a gun from the police holster and I felt something hit me in the chest.My vision became blurry as I also watched Alex fall to his knees. I looked at my hand and realized he had shot me with the gun."Jaxon! You will be alright." Levi’s right hand man was beside me. I couldn't think of anything in the world other than staying in the arms of Ayla at that moment. As my eyes closed, I rea
I stepped into the company at the strike of midnight fully aware that it was going to be a tough confrontation with Jaxon . The moment I opened the door to my office, I found Jaxon sipping a cup of Hennessy with several documents on the table and a smile plastered across his face."You know I never thought you would have the balls to make a move, I will give it to you. I never expected you to go for Steve, our lawyer." I commented, standing by the door."Our lawyer? Oh so you now choose words to use now? Steve deserves death. He was the brain behind your action and I figured it was perfect I ended him." Jaxon said. I watch him hold a paper in his hand."Right here in my hand is the deed to the company. You asked for it, now I have brought it for you." I stared at him for a moment, wondering what he was up to."You must think I am a fool Jaxon . I know your tricks and I know you won't be willing to sacrifice your last hope to secure the company from me easily. So what do you have hidi
When I arrived at Steve's apartment, the weather had become warm once more and I helped Steve turn on the air conditioner, while heading to his room. Steve was an adept reader that hates being disturbed, but I needed his help, if I ever wanted to get the deeds.Upon stepping into his room, there was no sign of Steve . The tables were littered with books. Typical of him to always be unorganized.While I went down to get the pillows, I noticed something unfamiliar. I looked to see Steve slippers at the front of his bathroom. Steve never leaves these things in the bathroom before, so what was going on? I made my way slowly to the door of the bathroom, where I leaned closer to get a grasp of what was happening.The shower was running and it appeared that someone was having their bath. The moment I opened the door, I gasped in disbelief at the scene of horror displaying itself right before my eyes.I was staring at the lifeless body of Steve , who appeared to have been drowned in
"You must surely love him that much." I said after she had hung up."He is my husband and I can't let bad things happen to him." Her way of expressing her love reminded me of Alex and I hated that he had become so vile. Getting up from the couch, I made my way to the kitchen, hoping to make some juice for us, when I noticed something odd. A black van parked at the side of the gate and immediately I knew something was amiss.I rushed back into the living room, pulling the curtains apart and seeing several armed men making their way to the entrance of the door."Shit!" I exclaimed, drawing the curtain close."What's the matter?" Ayla asked."Police officers. I don't think they came without instructions from Alex . Here...." I handed over my car keys to her. "There is an exit by the far end of the apartment. Use the exit and get out of here once they pick me." "What? I cannot watch them take you?" Ayla replied."There is no time to argue Ayla! I know how to handle Alex , just go!" I
The moment the cab stopped, I looked at the agency and realized the plan to report Alex's dirty deeds to them could go either way, but all I could hope for was for it to go in my favor."Good morning" I greeted the receptionist, who was buried on her computer. The moment she looked up in my direction, she pointed up the stairs, taking me off guard. I whispered my gratitude and moved towards the direction, uncertain as to what to expect.I saw the tag at the door and realized this was the head of the agency office and after a series of knocks at the door, I would eventually be allowed to gain access into the office."Mr. Jaxon , nice to see you." The man behind the desk said, getting up to his feet and extending his hands for a handshake. "I have to say that we have been expecting you." He added with a smile on his face."I came to discuss something important with you." I said the moment I would make myself comfortable at the seat that I had been offered. "Before you say anything, I j
"I still have one last document that shows my claim over the company. We can use this as a bait to lure Alex into our trap and make sure that he takes it." I explained the plan in detail to Levi and the boys."I hope you are aware that Alex is smart, he would know that forfeiting the documents willingly is suspicious, we need to act ahead of him." "I know Alex more than any of you. He is my business partner. Since he is after signing the next big deal that would make the company become his own, he would be needing this document. His clients would ask for the deeds and that's when he would realize they are with me. He will come for it and we will take immediate actions against him." I looked at their faces and noticed a lot of them were buying into the plan and this gladdened my heart."So first, we already know he is going to meet up with the Chinese investors tomorrow, I need you to tell your spies to pay close attention to everything they say or do. If anything goes wrong, we wi
My father stared at me for a moment, apparently looking for the right words to explain his ordeal. I knew not to be harsh on him, but I could not help it, even after all these years and everything he had done to me."I know things have been rough in the past, between the both of us and that is why I beg you to just listen to what I have to say.""You know what, I cannot stand any of this again!" I got up on my feet despite the plea from his wife.I could not stand seeing his face, after all the horrible things he has ever done to me in the past. There was too much trauma involved.By the time I arrived at the house, I took a deep breath, not willing to step inside because I knew that Jaxon was in there.Summoning the last courage, I made my way into the room and found him on the couch watching the news."How did your trip go?" He asked, but I chose to keep quiet. "Come on Ayla, you don't have to be like this. There is a reason why we are called a couple and that is because we argue an
I drove down the street to my father's residence in tears as I remembered how it all started, the first time he raped him.He staggered into my bathroom heavily drunk that unfortunate day. I was actually taking my bath and he stood at the door staring at me with a lustful gaze while licking his lips.The little innocent me, I was just eight years old then, was calling out to him to come carry him like he always does whenever he comes back from work, "Daddy! You're back so late tonight, I miss you. Common, come carry me""You're so beautiful" he said as he walked towards me while I giggled happily as I stood under the running shower."You look so ripe, I'm sorry for this" he said while I stared at him with confusion wondering why he was apologizing when he suddenly started touching me in ways that didn't seem right. I tried to push him away to no avail.My nanny was the only one that knew about it, she took care of me for days while my dad bought me all sorts of stuff and everything I
