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 37Sydney was stunned and bent her head in shame, her hands trembling beneath her.Paxton's anger was only just beginning as he had lots of them on peak ready to unleash them on her."You golddigger!" He flared, advancing towards her. At that moment her heart flew and she staggered back in fright.But he didn't stop, not for one minute."Swear your intentions towards my brother are clean, swear." Each word that came out of his mouth was accompanied by a demeaning step."Why are you doin—""I don't want to hear anything from you" he ripposted, cutting her off roughly.Sydney nodded abruptly and pushed her lips into her mouth, murmuring to herself; 'did he have a quarrel with Jaxton?'Paxton seemed to have heard her murmur but he didn't actually hear what she said. He took the last step, seezing her breath with just a glare from him. He stared at her intimidately and snarled, "stay away from my brother." He spoke fastly, the weight of his tone was harsh. It was as if it carrie
Chapter 38Paxton was putting on his suit jacket ready to go home when the door flew open with an angry Jaxton matching towards him like a viper.He stood transfixed to the floor groping at his obnoxious twin who wore a really tight expression. He would be damned if he says he doesn't know what caused his ugly reaction, actually he was secretly expecting his comeback.Jaxton screeched to a stop right in front of Paxton and he didn't waste any time in speaking his mind."I'm sure I clearly told you to stay out of my path, or do I need to spell it out for you?" He said under his teeths, trying really hard to control his anger.Paxton huffed, "this is really going to be a long conversation…" he took a few steps backwards, this way he was close to his desk and relaxed on it."I see you're really enjoying this.""If putting that gold digger in her place is such a big crime to you then I fear she has fooled you already—""Paxton!!!" Jaxton growled, his hands balling into a fist behind him.
Chapter 39Sydney stared down at herself, shocked at what just happened. She couldn't still fathom why Paxton would call her in and pour his hot coffee on her when she didn't slack on her duties.However, she managed to keep her mouth shut, swallowing the pains as they came.Paxton relaxed on his chair and looked at her from there, his raving temper had died down and felt calm after using Sydney to quench that anger.He didn't like what he did nor hate it, he enjoyed seeing her suffer and that just made him smile."Too tasteless, get me another coffee" he ordered, glaring at him from where he sat.She nodded and skittered out, as she made his coffee a lot of thoughts clouded her mind. Paxton must be so mad at her even without her doing nothing, he just hates her naturally hiding under the disguise of her trying to ruin his brother.Pfft… this was getting harder than she had imagined.She finished making the coffee and went to serve him, as she placed the coffee on his desk she caught
Chapter 40The loyalty of a dog to its owner, irrespective of how he's treated or fed, was the case of Sydney. She was the stray dog of the Whites family, they could mold her, fold her or even break her but her loyalty stands.Not like she had any choice going against them but if she could at least try she half of her burden will be lifted off her shoulder. Or so she thought.Jaxton gave her five minutes to brush up herself and come down to the park but she was taking more than she was given. Her heart was heavy with worry and she couldn't stop wondering what Jaxton needed to see her for.She believes that Paxton was keeping an eye on her and Jaxton asking her out during work hours will only increase her punishment.She wouldn't have been this disturbed if he had called her after work but the ugly feeling would still remain. Was he calling her out for sex as he always does or is it something more than that?She couldn't put a finger into it. For the past few days Jaxton has been unsua
Chapter 41Boooom!!! The sound of a popped champagne snatched her attention and she tilt her head to look at the waiter in front of her. She moves her daze back to Jaxton and pinches her hand to be sure it was real and she wasn't in some fantasy world.Suddenly, a huge display of balloons took place and the people who had been pretending to be eating all these while started to cheer. Clapping and urging her to accept his proposal.Sydney was uncomfortable and wanted to refuse but as he looked around again, the smiles and encouraging words he people threw at her made her dismiss the thought. She decided to be in the moment and actually feel it. Jaxton did all this for her, he prepared a surprise for her. In all her years nobody has ever thrown her a surprise so this was uplifting to her.All her doubts were suddenly wiped away and all she could think of was a beautiful smile on his face. He went through all the stress to make her feel special, Paxton wasn't going to bully her again a
Chapter 42It was past seven and Sydney was still laying on her bed, her alarm had rang for the third time now but she was finding it so hard to let go of her sweet dream.The alarm dings again, this time it was louder, it was just as if God had intervened and she had to wake up no matter what. She squiggled tirelessly on her bed, moving her hand to the dresser to put it off."Urghhhh" Her hand smashed the alarm disturbing her beauty sleep, she didn't mind where it had landed, she was happy that it went off as it was driving her crazy already. She gets pissed and slides out of the covers, muffling cursing words as she goes about her day. She hadn't gotten any sleep and the alarm was on already. How long has she even slept for the alarm to disrupt her sleep like that."Dang it!" She exclaimed the moment her eyes caught the big clock hanging on her wall. It's past seven and she needs to hurry up."You're few minutes late miss Sydney" Miss Dana teased as Sydney walked past her table."G
CHAPTER 43.Sydney still rooted to her chair right in front of her already furious boss,Paxton. Her hands began to sweat in the full blown air conditioned office due to anxiety.She already began to tear up and used her fingers slightly to pat them so her make up wouldn’t get smudge but already her mascara began to form black spots around her eye part.Paxton on the other hand,sat giving an “I do not gives two fucks” attitude while deep down he wanted Sydney to quite crying.“I do not pay you monthly to see you cry in my office while I question you. So get a hold of yourself.” Paxton instructed when he finally got an idea of how he would make Sydney stop tearing up right in front of him without him showing any emotions signifying care.“Really! I see now you God Forsaking and unfortunate being. You basically do not pay me monthly to question me about my personal life. I seek and tired of you treating me trash,like something worthless. I don’t know how I kept on dealing with your shit.
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
