The grand piano playing in the room was a thrill I loved and cherished every moment. I looked at my phone and I was glad to know that Alex had been set free, just as I had demanded and all I did was await his presence.I waited for Alex in the dimly lit room,my hands fidgeting as I sat uneasily. It was time for us to get together, and I needed to tell him something important. Alex's massive stature filled the room as the door opened, his penetrating eyes sweeping the space before focusing on me. "Lisa ," He called in a hard, deep voice. "What's so urgent?" With my heart pounding, I inhaled deeply. "Ayla has returned." Alex’s jaw tightened as his face grew serious. "What do you mean she's back?" I leaned forward, speaking hardly audibly. "She's returned to the island, and she's determined to win Jaxon back." Alex squinted his eyes. "That is not possible. Jaxon is never going to return to her."I shook my head. "Alex , you don't get it. Ayla has got a lot of pranks up her slee
I opened my eyes slowly and tried to observe my surroundings. I had absolutely no idea how I got here, and I was in a poorly lit room. Just then I realized I was confined to a chair, strong ropes around my wrists and ankles, panic struck. I made an effort to break free, but to no avail. As I was beginning to give up, Lisa walked in with a wicked grin on her face as the door creaked open. "Good morning, Ayla ," she murmured, sarcasm seeping from her voice. "You are finally awake. That's excellent. I was concerned that in order to get you to wake up, I might have to employ more...dramatic methods." I tried to mask my fear as I looked at her "Lisa , what do you want? Why did you take me captive?"Lisa laughed, a malicious gleam in her eyes. "Ah, Ayla . You understand perfectly why I have you here. It's time to collect on the commitment you made." She said, I searched my mind, trying to recall what it was she was talking about. It dawned on me then, the vow I had made to ruin Jaxon'
The night was gradually drawing near, and I was very certain Jaxon would be in his mansion . I stared at myself in the mirror, admiring the revealing nightgown I was putting on. It was the most seductive wear and there was one purpose I hoped to achieve with it....Get Jaxon to have sex with meWhen I arrived at his mansion , I hesitated for a moment, pushing down the night gown to show more cleavage. I knocked at the door and after a moment, I heard his voice asking for whoever was knocking to come in."How did you get out of the mental home?" He asked, not at all fazed by my presence. "And where are you hiding Ayla?" He demanded."Hello sweetheart, I greeted him. It's so great to see you haven't changed a bit. I don't want you to think so badly of me. Please stop stressing yourself" I said, approaching him seductively."As for Ayla , believe me Jaxon, I have nothing to do with her disappearance."You escaped the mental home days ago and want me to believe you have nothing to do
Arriving at the boardroom meeting, I knew without a doubt that a lot of drama was about to unfold and I was as usual ready for whatever it was they were about to dish out.My thoughts as usual were preoccupied with Ayla and the boys and what they must be going through in the hands of Lisa and Alex.I walked into a room filled with every board member, Dr. Alicia and her darling husband, Sir. Emma and Trent and above all the oldest member of the Rex Corporation, Martinez"Jaxon!, he began…you have been summoned here today because of the act of disgrace you have brought upon this family. What are your defenses?" Martinez questioned."I still don't understand what this whole fuss is about…..what disgrace are you talking about? And what defenses? I only did a friend a favor."And you think you are the right man for that?" Sir. Emma interrupted."Hey, listen to me, boy! I would not have you talking to me in that manner." I warned him sternly."Enough!" Martinez ordered….he was the oldes
I was lying in the dark, trying to think of a way out. Lisa had me tightly bound to a pair of shackles which I had been working so hard to get myself free from it and waiting for the right moment to strike.I needed to get to my sons in order to protect them from the lady who had ruined our lives.My senses were alert to the smallest of sounds around me as I pretended to be asleep. I could hear the sounds of the crickets chirping outside as everywhere was deathly still. The quiet hum of Lisa's singing, and the creak of the ancient wooden floorboards. I waited for the perfect moment to strike. It came when Lisa's attention slipped, her gaze turning to the door as footsteps approached.I channeled all of my will and strength into a tremendous blast that broke me loose and I was propelled by the force in the direction of the door. My legs were weak from days in captivity, I staggered, but I wouldn't give up. I lunged into the hallway, heart thumping in my chest as I pushed ahead. I
I walked confidently into the salon, looking around for Ryker. Yes, there he was, in the corner, enjoying a whiskey. We had agreed to meet here.I quickly walked over to where he was sitting. "Ryker!! my old friend," I exclaimed loudly into the room. "I hear you've been busy." Ryker raised his head, his face expressionless. "Just doing my job, Jaxon." He said. With excitement shining in my eyes, I took a seat next to him. "I hear Ayla and her sons have escaped Lisa's captive, Is that true?" Ryker nodded, his expression unfazed. “I actually saw her escaping by chance and gave them a ride,asked her to call you man,but she said she didn't want to owe you”. “What does that even mean? That woman is too stubborn”."Anyway,I'm glad they escaped, " I said grinning. “So tell me,where are they?”Ryker's expression immediately changed and I noticed he seemed uneasy. "I promised her I wouldn't reveal their location, Jaxon." He said I slid a briefcase across the table that was stuffed with
I was in my cozy California apartment, listening to my children laughing in the distance, while I looked out the window at the sunkissed Pacific Ocean. A feeling of utmost tranquility setting in as I have finally gotten away from the disorder of New York and the poisonous hold of Jaxon and Alex .However, my peace was disrupted when my phone suddenly started ringing.“Ayla , please I need you to return to New York”. Jaxon spoke urgently, his words pouring out quickly with a touch of desperation in his voice.My heart began to beat in rapid succession. “I'm sorry, Jaxon . I have had it with all the troubles that came with New York”. “Ayla, please listen to what I'm saying”. “I need you to be here as I can't accomplish this task without your help”. His words carried a slight touch of anxiety, a familiar tone that I recognized.I braced myself, my determination unwavering. “I will not return, Jaxon. I refuse to have anything further to do with Alex . I deserve better. I have the
I pounded my fist on the desk, my anger and frustration reached a boiling point. Aylas stubbornness was getting in the way, and my choices were dwindling. I had tried all possible methods to persuade her to return to me, but she was being so adamant.Right when I was going to call her once more, my phone rang. I grabbed it, prepared to release my anger on whoever was at the receiving end."Jaxon, your attention is needed at company right away." The voice coming from the opposite side was icy and indifferent, causing a chill to run down my back.My rage transformed into a freezing coldness. The board members are up to something,I'm sure."What is that?" I snarled, my thoughts racing with the worst possible outcomes."We will talk about it when you get here. Come over to the office immediately, please."The call ended. I found myself gazing at my phone, didn't want anything disturbing me other than Ayla and my sons and how I was going to help her.I walked out of my office quickly, m
