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 44.Sydney picked up her phone to send a text message to Jaxton while she saw three missed calls from him and so she wondered what he wanted to share with her.“Shot! What if Paxton already told him?” She thought to herself.“No way. I do not think he would.” She added.Immediately,she swiped her phone,inputted her security pins and got full access to her phone. Immediately she went to the message section to see if Jaxton left a message. Typical Jaxton always left a text message for her whenever he called and could not get through to her.He was always overprotective and cared for her at all times.“Hey babe. Are you good? Tried calling but to no avail.” Jaxton’s text read.Immediately,Sydney wiped up,got access to her keyboard section and began to type.“I am good. How about babe? Sorry I missed your call. I was out of the office.” Sydney’s message read.It views delivered on her part and so she was sure the message went through.A minute after,her phone beeped which caught h
CHAPTER 45.“What did you say? I definitely did not hear well.” Jaxton uttered with obvious confusion in his voice.Sydney kept quiet for a while. She tried her best to keep calm.Jaxton alsowas trying his best not to break down right infront of her. He did not want to look weak and on the other hand cause a scene.He pushed his seat closer to the table and it made noise due to the starches it made with the tiled floor and help her hands.Second by second and it soon became two minutes standing in silence with her. Jaxton became impatient.Eventually Jaxton lashed out,”Babe, did I do or say something wrong?”This time it was louder and it got the attention of the public present at the Goldies restaurant. When Jaxton noticed what he had done he immediately apologized “I’m sorry,go on with your meal” and sat down ashamed.Sydney already began to feel embarrassed and covered her face with her purse while looking at an entirely different place.“I think we should leave and talk outside.”
Chapter 46Sydney decided to go back to her office. On getting there, she meets Paxton. She didn’t expect to see him there so she was taken aback. “Have you and Jaxton broken up?” he asked her. “No, we are still together” she managed to say to him. She knew he wanted her and jaxton to break up but she couldn’t handle the way he looked when she told him she wanted to break up.“When will you break up?” Paxton asked her. He expected that they would have broke up since she promised him but he understood that she might need more time.“Soon,” Sydney replied him.“Okay, good” Paxton said and went back to his office. He was relieved that she said soon, hr thought she might ask for more time but he hoped she breaks up with him quick.Sydney started at Paxton’s back as he was going, his figure was slowly fading away as she watched him. She felt bad for him. Moreover, she had already promised him, what would he do when he finds out that she lied to him. She didn’t know if she could actually d
Chapter 47 Paxton was still in shock and couldn’t believe what just happened. He couldnt believe that Sydney had just slapped him hard on his cheek. He was still holding his cheek because the slap really hurt him. “She hit me” Paxton said quietly to himself in the empty office. He felt that he shouldn’t have shouted at her and called her names. He knew he should not have overreacted but he didn’t know what came over him.He felt like he should go check on her but at the same time he knew she would be angry and might want space.Sydney on the other hand was enraged and went to the ground floor of the building. “Who is he, he called me a whore and a gold digger after he made me agree to help him. This is shitty” Sydney murmured to herself while trying to calm down. “He definitely overreacted” she said.She sat down on a chair and tried to calm down. She took deep breaths and calmed down. Her anger had reduced and she was calm now. Realization hit her, she could not believe she just
CHAPTER 48.Sydney soon came to realize her mistake which might cost her her job.She could have thought it through before lifting her hands to smack Paxton,her boss tight and hand on his face but she was angry.Being angry was not still no excuse for the ought not to take any actions in anger but on the other hand Paxton was wrong. What did he gain by lashing out at her so badly to the extent of uttering her a “gold digger.”Sydney felt hurt,sad and angry at the same time. She knew he had not been treating Jaxton well but she never had the intention of stealing from him. She knew she was way better than that.“What does he think of himself ,huh? To call me a gold digger. No freaking way I should have tolerated that. But fuck! I slapped my boss.” Sydney uttered as soon as she was save in her apartment.“Look what you have done now Sydney. Look!” Sydney added as soon as she began to calm down she acknowledged her mistake she should not have slapped her boss.Tears began to leave her ey
CHAPTER 49.Paxton’s face already signified facial tension of anger,his brows furrowed,jaw clenched and his fist already tightened. He felt like leaving a tooth breaking punch on her face but she was a lady and he decided not to act rootless for humanity’s sake.And so he sprang up angrily,banged his hand on his desk which caused a her heart to skip a beat due to shock. “Get your deranged ass up from my seat and pave your miserable way out of my office and company!” Paxton instructed immediately without even giving her a second to comprehend the shock she experienced from the table banging a while ago.The shameless lady stood up feeling like a looser she was. She felt angry as well that she did not achieve what she came here to do.Her cheeks red as a tomato and lips already thin as she smirked angrily and bit her lower lips she grabbed her red bag she complimented her red heels and turned around and began matching out of Paxton’s office.She was already close to door when Paxton ut
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
