"Thought you said that you won't be able to come here?" Jaxon asked as he held my hand, kissing it before he twirled me and shaked his head gently."It seems like you were expecting me to come, considering the fact that you came here alone" I teased while he chuckled as he pulled off his blazer."Something in me just told me that you'll come here" he shrugged as he wore his blazer for me."Jaxon , I'm not cold" I said with an eye roll." I'm not blind but I can't have you walking around this place in this lingerie you call a dress. Your body should be seen by me alone, I don't like it when people look at things that belong to me, it makes me feel some how" he groaned as he ruffled his hair, he placed his hand on my back and helped me to sit with his hand still on my back. I smiled at how he glared at other men staring at me."There's nothing wrong with this dress, you're just overreacting. You don't expect me to dress in a sack bag here right" I snorted." With this body of yours, I
Today has to be the worst and happiest day of my life, I can't imagine that a woman has the audacity to stand me up in an event, no one has ever done that to me not even my father, I have always been the one commanding respect from people an standing them up, no one has ever returned the favor until today and I was annoyed that I had no other choice than to call my wife, the woman the familia forced me to get married to, a woman who's obsessed with how hot I look, a woman who'll stop at nothing to make me hers even though we both know that it's an impossible mission, a woman who I only sex cause it's compulsory for her give birth to kids cause of the familia, a woman who married me because of greed for power, wealth and fame.My kids and I don't like her, and we never fail to show it to her. Sometimes, I wonder if she's not worthy of being loved or I'm the one that's not capable of loving someone but I know that I love my kids, they're my world and everything I could ever wish for.Th
I stared at our hands and she removed her hand gently, "don't! I repeat don't ever try this nonsense again! Go home in the other car, I might return if I finish my business early" I muttered."We both know that there's no business, who's the woman that's keeping you busy? We both know that you're a sex addict but lately, you've been abstaining from sex which is quite abnormal, I even went through your phone and I noticed that your side chicks also complained about it" she whined while I glared at her."You went through what?" I asked."I'm sorry but I was just curious to know why you've been acting strange" she muttered."I'm not acting strange, and don't forget that I'm not a sex addict" I muttered as I entered my car ready to give the instructions to the driver to drive away when I heard her say something that shocked me to the bone."I don't know who changed you but I love and hate the new change. You deserve to be loved by a good woman even if it's not me, it's so obvious that yo
I stared at her beautiful eyes as she sat down in my car and ate her ice cream cutely like a baby, and I couldn't believe that I finally fell in love with someone even though the circumstances behind our meeting ain't that nice but I don't care. All I know is that this feeling is something I've never felt before, and I know that I was ready to love this woman with all my heart even if it comes with pain and heartbreak. I finally found the one I love and I just hoped that she also loves me.I stifled in a laugh as I remembered how she was crying earlier and how I tried to beg her to stop crying but she didn't till I promised to get her three big bowls of ice cream and she has eaten two already, and taking the last one, and she's still eating it so fast like it'll run away from her if she doesn't eat it that way, I wanted to tell her to slow down but I was scared that she might start crying again."Why are you staring at me like that? Do you want some ice cream?" She asked, staring at
I sat down in my car with Ayla beside me crying, while I was just staring in the space feeling overwhelmed with emotions surging from here to there in me. I still can't believe that someone tried to kill me, I don't want to believe it but that's the truth, perhaps I would have been dead by now if De Lucas didn't shoot down that guy, I couldn't help but wonder who sent him. "Jaxon, I'm scared" she cried, hugging me tightly with her body shaking in mine as she cried on my chest while I hugged her back."Don't be, I'm here and I'm fine" I said trying to assure myself instead of her."This is just too much to take in, someone tried to kill you tonight, Jaxon" she cried and my heart squeezed in pain and hurt as I blinked back my tears, I had to stay strong if not for anyone but for the fragile woman in my hands."I was not the only one in that place, it could have been anyone. Who knows?" I asked with a shrug." There were a lot of people there yet you're the one who De Lucas came to war
"Bella, I believe that we talked about you not touching my phone again! Don't dare me! We both know that this marriage is only a paper thing and don't forget that it takes a paper to destroy" he said angrily while I rubbed his chest trying to calm him down."I.. I.. I'm re.. really sorry, she said, I promise not to ever interfere in your business again. I'm sorry, Lucas " she said with a teary voice."Stop shouting at her, it's making me feel bad" I whispered as I stared at him with cute puppy eyes."Whatever, keep my phone in my room and tell the kids that I'll come pick them up tomorrow after school" he muttered as he rubbed his head." Ohh, I actually promised to pick them up but I'm sure that they'll be happier if you do so. Lucas , thanks for everything you have done for this family, in as much as I wish you happiness with your new found love, I can't stop loving you and I'll never do but I just hope that she loves you with her full heart because you have a big heart, and you des
I'm coming!" I said as I walked to the door and I opened it to see a strange looking beautiful but sophisticated dressed young lady whose smile suddenly turned to a deep frown when she saw me."How may I help you?" I asked when I noticed that she won't stop glaring at me for reasons known to her of course."Where's Jaxon?" She ignored my question, I almost shut the door in her face for her rudeness but I decided to ignore her manners."Xav, you have a guest" I said, turning to stare at him."Wow! He allowed you to shorten his name" she chuckled "Who's there?" He asked as he stood in front of the door with his eyes widely opened in shock.The lady dressed in a bitchy dress suddenly dragged her big bag inside the house and she went to sit down on a couch like she owns the place, "is this how to treat your first and only love after seeing her again after a few months of..." She trailed off winking at him naughtily and I stared at Jaxon not wanting to believe that he has been seeing oth
"No! You can tell us whatever you want to say here" he replied gulping down nervously."I don't think that Mrs Anthony is strong enough to bear the news" he said and tears slipped out of my eyes."Too much stress for doubting someone, I'll be waiting for the both of you in the car. I want to sleep. My baby is tired" she muttered with a sly smile as she walked out of the hospital."You really won't do anything to stop her?" I suddenly asked, feeling angry and frustrated about everything."I... I..." He stammered as he ruffled his hair while I tried to walk out on him, " please, don't let us go back to how we were. Just a little trust will be nice, even though she is pregnant with my child, we both know that you're the one I love" he cried as he held me but I released myself from him harshly eying him angrily."Then you should have thought about what would have happened in the future when you put it in her and didn't pull it out" I snapped as I ran out of the hospital in tears."Take me
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
