CHAPTER 29: She stood up from her seat and hurried to hold Jaxton as she pleaded with him unendingly, her steps were heavy and she had her heart in her mouth in case the men tried to find fault with her again. "Jaxton please, it is all my fault, please let go of his collar. I did not think too much about it and blurted nonsense. We do not have to fight about this." she pleaded, tapping gently on the hand gripping Paxton's collar. Her hand felt small and she felt slightly ridiculous. Compared to these two men with huge palms, if they were to smack her hand off, the possibility that she would get a dislocated wrist would be very high. He finally let go of his collar and glared daggers at him. His chest moving up and down in annoyance. "I am letting it go this time. But there won't be a next time." His tone was firm and fierce and he obviously meant what he was saying. "Please go back to your office, I'm really sorry. This is all my fault. It won't happen again.
CHAPTER 30 Fuming and unable to accept that she had been used and dumped, she went back to Jaxton's office and picked files again as she went back to sort the issues with them. She put Jaxton at the back of her mind as she continued working. He was not going to get into her head and disrupt her daughter and thoughts. No one gave him that sort of power. No one.. Meanwhile, as she was busy, Paxton returned from the meeting earlier than usual as he stared at the documents Sydney had been working on. He had thought the little bray would fume and complain again. Maybe say something worse that would make him have the opportunity to lash at her and punish her. Perhaps get to touch her and do something steamy. But she seemed to be frowning as she hurriedly worked on the documents. With the way she was flipping the documents, she treated it like it was her enemy and she didn't pay attention to anyone or anything else around her. Paxton in fact began to feel neglected. As i
Chapter 31The elevator doors opened revealing Jaxon, Sydney had been standing for a while now waiting for the doors to open and wizzled a breath when her eyes met with Jaxton. She tried to get in and join him in the elevator but he pushed her off, fixing her a tight glare he closed the doors and to her astonishment the elevator went up without her getting in. "What in the world—" she muttered a breath, moping at the door as the whole thing still looked amusing to her. "Pfft… what's with him anyways?" She scoffed and walked to the next elevator."Good morning Miss Dana," Sydney greated and she threw her a smile, "morning Sydney, you look–" she paused and Sydney cornered her eyes at her."Fine?" She chuckled and Miss Dana nodded. "Something like that" Miss Dana mused and Sydney cut her an eye before fading into her department.Immediately she was coming in James was heading out, "attend to the files on your desk" he said mindlessly and rushed out. Sydney snorts and falls on her chair,
Chapter 32"Which is… " she slurred, pussing her lips to fix him a look.He chuckled and waved his hand at her, signalling her to leave but she remained standing, staring into his green mozzled eyes hoping he would maybe open his mouth and spill it."Why do I feel like you're going to enjoy it," he clicked his tongue and winked at her, causing her to gasp."Huh!" Her face turned red instantly and she brushed her hair to her face to hide it unknowingly to her. Jaxton had already seen it and he was staring into her heart.She clumsily took her gaze to his and almost melted by his gaze. "Don't fall for it.." she cautioned herself, giving her lip a tiny bite so as to drive away the nauseating feeling she was having at the corner of her tongue.She quickly averted her eyes and brought them down to her fingers, her heart throbbing hard against her chest. She couldn't believe she was falling for his charming looks, his green eyes held hers in a long depth that she feared she might have walke
Chapter 33Sydney jerked up in a jump start, rushing to check what time it was. "Shit!!" She cursed, throwing the phone on the bed without no care if it fell on the wrong side."What's getting you all riled up?" Jaxton asked, slipping off the bed."It's 10am already, we better hurry""Shit!!" He cursed, grabbed a towel and took a quick run into the bathroom. "You better join me if you don't want to have my smell on you." He shouted to her and Sydney joined him on the realization of that.Sydney had finished dressing up but Jaxton was holding her back. She glanced at the time and scoffed at seeing that he was still struggling with his tie. Not wanting to waste another minute waiting for him to knot his tie she decided to help him with it."See, simple." She smiled as she slipped the tie into his shirt. He appreciated her with a smile and as they walked out of the hotel room he stole a kiss from her.Their car galloped into the company's driveway and Sydney hurried out but not after blo
Chapter 34Beads of sweat started to form on her forehead and tension kicked in, putting her into a tight corner.Her limbs started to quiver, not wanting him to notice she ruffled out a smile and chuckled.Paxton's brows creased and he tapped her desk, snapping her out of whatever thoughts she was having. "I asked you a question" his voice was livid and it brushed past her like hot lava."I uhm.." she cleared her throat. "He came to pick me up" his brows creased and she added, "of-course I didn't ask him to, he just appeared from nowhere and I couldn't turn down the offer. "You shouldn't have anything to do with my brother, engaging yourself with him is like playing with fire you either get burnt or roasted." He purred, barring his teeths as he recounted the previous scene.Sydney nodded with intent, not wanting to say or do anything that would make him think she did something with Jaxton. "Halt any intention of getting close to Jaxton, the minute I find out something is up with yo
Chapter 35As cold as ice, pale as death was the frown lurking on Paxton's face. He stood at the hallway, peeking through the window, taking long glances at Sydney as she stuttered back to her chair. He saw her pick her phone up and leaned further watching her face, she had picked up her phone but dropped it the instant she noticed him.Seeing that he was causing her discomfort he left after a while."Hahh.." Sydney sighed in relief as he advanced into the hallway. She made sure he was out of sight before proceeding to call Jaxton back.The phone was on dial and rang for a few seconds before the baritone voice of Jaxton came on. "Though you misplaced your phone, you won't possibly deny not seeing my calls cause I know you're with your phone." He said levely. He was angry with her and she ought to know."Just calm down okay, it wasn't on purpose" "Excuses Nicole, excuses..""Can you just let me finish?''she pauses to catch her breath and once she gains his attention she speaks further
Chapter 36Even as he tried to hide it his facials disappointed him. Jaxton needed no soothsayer to tell him his brother wasn't actually here for a short conversation.Paxton wasn't one to leave his office without a date and time already scheduled, he has his way of doing things. Owing to the fact that they're brothers they couldn't boast of good communication together. Their conversations are always done on telecommunications unless it's important only down will it lead to Paxton's office to talk.Jaxton knew Paxton didn't come for good at least that was what his expectations were implicating. His eyes were up and red with rage and his face was plain horror. Even as he tried to smile you would take it as him glaring at you. "Coffee then" Jaxton murmured to himself, tapped the number on the telecom and placed the telephone on his ear. "Make me two cups of coffee." He said as soon as he heard the secretary's voice. "Okay sir." The secretary replied and hurried out of her seat."What
Chapter 120Sydney was so lost staring into his eyes with shock and Confusion that she didn't realize when he got so close to her that she could even feel his breath and listen to his heart beating hard against his chest. Sydney pulled her face away from him immediately. "No, this is too good to be true," she whispered to herself. He thought that he had some hidden agenda that he was trying to hide from her and trap her into it before she was going to realize it. "He thinks I am such a dumbass," she thought in her head. "I will have to run away immediately before he begins to unveil his true reason for coming here," she said to herself. She got set immediately. She calculated when she was going to run away from him in her head. "On a one, two three, go.." she finalized and tried to run but he caught her in the air. She tried hard to break free from her strong grip but he held her so tightly that her skin cells could hardly breathe.She stared into his eyes and he stared back into
Chapter 119 With every single step that he took, his heart raced ten times faster and he was gasping for breath like someone that just finished a race. *Signs*After much inquiry, Paxton discovered that Sydney was now working as a waitress in one of the restaurants. "What should I do now," he said to him in his car, hitting his hands on the story. "Go to her house or her workplace," he thought again. But then, a thought crossed his mind that answered all his questions. "Would you want a public embarrassment?" A voice rang in his head. Paxton thought about his for some time and decided that it would be preferable to go to her house. He could feel his heart beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through as he drove his car to her house. When he got there, the door was bolted just as he had expected. "I will just have to wait for her here," he said to himself as another long line of laughter escaped from his mouth.Meanwhile, Sydney was just returning from w
CHAPTER 118Chapter 118Jaxton stared into his eyes with a racing heart, still contemplating if what he was going to say would get him angry or not. Then he asked him the question first. "His anything the matter?" Paxton inquired noticing that Jaxton was a little bit unsettled. Seeing this as the perfect opportunity, Jaxton dropped down to the ground and picked up the photo of Sydney on the floor."It's about her," Jaxton returned showing the photo to him but immediately he saw her photo, his eyes shit back into their sockets in sudden grief and he shook his head side by side. "No, I don't want to talk about her. Not now, not ever," Paxton returned. Jaxton's heart sank with disappointment but he wasn't just going to give up like that, he was going to press until he agreed. "But," he tried to say but Paxton would not listen to a single word that he had to say. "No buts," he returned. "I only told you that I don't want to talk about her," he ended. But as Paxton already knew, Jaxto
CHAPTER 117 FINALLY, the day for the stakeholders' meeting came. Hearts pounded, the tension rose, arrangements were being made and even calls for celebration.That morning, Jaxton got dressed as soon as he could into his White suit worth over ten thousand dollars. He had to present himself well to the stakeholders as the next CEO of the company in place of his father. He was so sure that his brother Paxton was unaware of whatever was around and he was going to take him unaware. A dark smile hovered on his face as he thought about taking over the company. "I can't even imagine the look on his face with it would be announced to him," he thought in his head as a dark laughter escaped from his mouth."And once I get this position, I will be able to get Sydney back," he said to himself"I can't wait to see that look on his face when Paxton would be eventually dismissed as the CEO.When he got to the venue for the event, most of the stakeholders were already seated. A smile hovered on
CHAPTER 116 Paxton stared into the stakeholder's eyes as cold shivers ran down his spine and streams of sweat were already forming at the corner of his eyes. "I can't believe you, my twin brother can't betray me this way after all we had gone through together," he returned with his heart beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through. "And why should I be lying to you" the stallholder returned without a trace of Deciet in his his eyes. Paxton Didn't know who to trust or whom to believe, him or my blood brother. "I can show you proof of it," he returned.Paxton watched him as he brought out his phone from his pocket and showed the message that he had gotten from Jaxton and he felt as though he had been trust a dagger right in the heart. "What are you going to do now?" The stallholder inquired. Paxton felt betrayed and he could feel his anger rising so badly that he had to clutch his hands to control my rising anger. "How could you do this to me Jaxton?"
Chapter 115Paxton POV"I swear boss, I would find a means to attach more finances to the already dilapidated market. Just give me time." The words coming out from Justin, the marketing directors were utterly irritating and even propelled my already sour mood."You had one week Justin, one week to make things right. We both know it was your fault that the stock dropped. You were too negligent, too lazy to take the risks that I so desire from you." Despite his stupidity, I tried my best to remain calm, as emotions were only meant to be expressed by the weak."Boss, please give me one more week. I swear to you, one more week and we would be back on top again. One more fucking week boss." I had his termination letter waiting."Take that brown envelope and get the fuck out of my office." I instructed. Slowly I observed his hesitation, before eventually walking towards the brown envelope. Once Justin unveiled the content of the envelope, he dropped to his knees begging."You don't want me
Chapter 114"Feelings? The night at Hawaii? If anyone had told me that something had happened between you both in Hawaii, I would have slit such a person's throat off." Jaxton had obviously eavsdropped on our conversation. I looked around to see Paxton was up on his feet and the look of guilt was expressed in his countenance."I knew something was off about selecting Sydney to go with you to Hawaii. Heck I was the stupid one. I should have realized right on time that you both had a thing going on." "Jaxton." He shushed me up as as I tried to speak."You do not speak when I am talking to my brother." His words were filled with venom and his eyes held so much rage in them. This was the dangerous version of Jaxton, that I never thought would exist."So tell me brother, how was it? Was it intense? I bet you enjoyed her sucking down your dick and going all the way to your nutsack." Jaxton playing mind games was seriously getting to not only Paxton but myself."Don't speak about her in su
Chapter 113Sydney POV.Several works to be completed in the office today, but my mind wasn't focused. The memories of the night in Hawaii kept replaying in my head. While the night was fun filled; from my perspective, I knew above everything that it had implications. Regardless of the fact that Paxton may have dropped his unruly attitude towards me, I still can't get over the fact that Jaxton would blow the roof off with his rage, when he hears of my sexual adventure with his brother. The situation was complicated and one that I wish above everything never to happen. While filling up some of the loopholes, left in the documents, the telephone buzzed."Hello?" "My office, now." Paxton's deep voice came through the other side. My heart rate increased and anxiety crept through my skin, wondering what he would think of our adventures. None of us had been able to have a meaningful conversation about it and while it could mean nothing to him, it meant everything to me.Staring at the i
Chapter 112Paxton and Sydney had been back from New York for a few months before they decided to binge-watch a movie together just for the sake of being happy.They both agreed on a funny romantic comedy, laughing and joking throughout. As the night went on, things got more heated between them and soon enough they were making out. It felt right and natural at the moment. Before they knew it, they were in Paxton’s bedroom and things escalated quickly. They both wanted it, and they were soon having sex. Even though they were both consenting adults, Sydney felt a twinge of regret afterwards. She hadn't expected things to move so fast and wasn't sure if she was ready for the complexities that come with a relationship. Paxton was just as confused. He had feelings for her, but he also knew they were new to each other and the enormity of what had just happened was starting to sink in. They both opted to take a step back and try to process everything that had happened. In the end, th
