Chapter 37

Sydney 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.

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 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.

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.

    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.
