Chapter 57“Here is your food sir/ma’am” the waiter said as they savored the aroma of the food.“Thank you for the food, it looks delicious right Paxton?” Sydney said and the waiter smiled at the appreciation that went a long way to say it was possible many people didn’t appreciate his services or not.“Yes it sure does look beautiful and delicious I can’t wait to have it down my throat then” She happily said.She looked so childlike as she happily began to munch on the food.They ate their food in total silence no one talking just enjoying the juiciness of what was in front of them.Suddenly, she noticed that Paxton picked up his phone scrolled through some pictures and then smiled into the phone before he dropped the phone and then went on to eat his phone humming a tune.Surprise at his sudden smile and how bright his eyes were she had never noticed how beautiful he looked when he smiled so she had to do what anyone who would want to know more would, she had to ask.“What makes you
Chapter 58“On second thought I won’t ask him anything” she said to herself as she saw him coming close to her.She turned and saw him coming so she kept it in place and she just had to pretend as though she didn’t see the pictures but deep within she just wanted to ask but if she asked he would know that she had checked his phone.They had just brought another plate of food for them when she saw those pictures.It was a plate of her favorite shrimps so she couldn’t possibly forgo that.“Okay fine I’ll eat the food I love shrimps by the way” Sydney said.She began eating the food as she peeled the shrimps for herself, she just didn’t want to have Paxton do that for her.Just seeing the pictures in his phone had made her have numerous thoughts she just wanted to know what was going on and why he would be so engrossed in her that he would be smiling so goofily.She took a bite but wasn’t verbal about its taste as she had done with the first dish they had.“Don’t you like it?” Paxton ask
Chapter 59“Let go of me Jaxton” Sydney said as she was trying to walk pass Jaxton and he held her hand.“And why would I do that right now?” he asked his eyes bloodshot.“Jaxton let her go, you are assaulting her and she has the right o go wherever she wants she is not a child” Paxton decided to jump into the situation because he could see Sydney trying her best not to cry.“You should stay out of this” he said pointing his finger at Paxton.“I won’t she is my responsibility, I brought her here so I should take her back with me” Paxton countered making his brother even more angry than he was at seeing them at the restaurant together.“What did you just say?” Jaxton asked.“I said what I said man, you are creating a scene here and that is not right, why on earth should you do this, you are creating content for the tabloids man let her go” Paxton reasoned.Not heeding to what his brother was saying he pulled Sydney who was now full of tears back into his car.“Jaxton, let me go, I don’
Chapter 60“Hey there you are” she tried to sound jovial and not let what had just happened a few minutes back spoil the mood.“Yes I just entered” he responded handing her the takeaway she had requested or back at the restaurant.This prompted her to think back to why she had asked for takeaway food in the first place.She was tempted to ask Paxton why her pictures where in his phone and why he was staring at them and smiling.Just maybe Jaxton was right to be insecure maybe he had seen those pictures in his brothers’ phone or maybe they had gotten into an altercation.“Paxton? Can I ask a question?” she asked and Paxton’s head snapped up immediately waiting for the question.“Go on” he urged her.“No just let it be, it isn’t important by the way” she decided against it yet again and went to the table so they could get into working.She focused on work and they were both engrossed in work the entire moment and she was happy he never brought up the incident the entire time they were w
Chapter 61From his brother to his girlfriend he growled.Jaxton could not stop himself from doing what happened next.“Jaxton I can explain, it’s not what you think” Sydney tried to explain but it was not heeded to by Jaxton as he pulled Sydney by her arm.“Man it’s not what you think just let us explain” Paxton chimed in.“You had better stayed quiet where you are because I would have to address you later” Jaxton said to his brother.“Jaxton let me go you are hurting me” she cried as the firm hold he had on her hand was more than she could hold in.“I don’t think you are taking this the right way please stop Jaxton” Sydney begged even more but Jaxton had clouded his memory with the vexation of what he thought he had seen.Deep down he felt betrayed and was not in like what it was that had happened or what he had walked into.Dragging her out of the office while she begged him to let her go was a sight Paxton didn’t like and he felt frustrated that he could not even have her for the
Chapter 62Paxton was just pacing up and down his office he even went as far as pushing some documents down.“I shouldn’t have done that, why am I obsessed about this female? She is now my brother’s girlfriend and I dint have to keep making things this complicated” Paxton thought to himself.As he was having a mental pep-talk with himself his brother badged into his office taking him off guard.“You Punk, out of all the women you could look at you chose Sydney, Damn is this what our brotherhood has come down to?” Jaxton said.“Bro, please can you calm down your horses it isn’t what you think” Paxton tried to stop his brother from hitting him even more but there was extreme rage in the eyes of Jaxton.“I can’t seem to fathom if you are my brother, I kind of regret letting the board chose you and Sydney to work on the contract” Jaxton spewed angrily.“But what you saw meant nothing I swear Jaxton” Paxton said not fighting back because at the back of his mind he was just so sorry for hav
Chapter 63Knock! Knock!She knocked on the door but there was no response.“Can I come in?” she finally poked her head into the office not raising his head he waved his hand signaling she should go away.She didn’t, she just couldn’t go.“Jaxton please can we talk? I know you are busy but can we have just a few minutes of your time?” she said to him but he didn’t respond to her.“I figure you are doing what we call the ‘silent treatment’ but Jax please don’t ignore me I beg of you” she pleaded.“Like you said yourself, I am busy and I wish to concentrate on what is before me, and by the way, don’t you have a sexual tension environment to be with aka my brother’s office?” he asked her not minding how those words made her feel.“I beg of you Jaxton stop talking this way,” Sydney replied to what he had said because she just knew he was speaking from the mind of an angry man and her words towards him yesterday was so painful.“Jaxton I am sorry, it would never happen again and as a matte
Chapter 64After having to make up her mind about what she was going to do to get Jaxton talk with her, she went to bed that night in high spirits.The next morning she got up to the sound of the alarm and when she got up she went on with her morning routine today she was in a high spirit.“Oh there, this is a beautiful day and I can feel it in my system” she said to herself in the mirror and then took a swirl at the mirror.She was dressed today to impress Jaxton.At least those walls he had built towards her this past days she just wanted them to all tumble down. She didn’t want them to keep fighting and she didn’t even want him to continue putting up a fight towards her.She drove the car to the office and when she went to the office although the rest of the employees gave her some odd looks she didn’t mind her main problem was being in the high spirits.They could never talk because they knew the outcome of having a blabber mouth at the White’s company.She didn’t go to her office
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
