Chapter 66“I just hope they don’t fight” Sydney said as her secretary was looking at her confused because she didn’t know who she was talking about.“That would be all for now” she said as her secretary finished giving her the required documents.When she saw Paxton enter his office he looked calm and collected and that kind of made her know that the brothers never fought.But something had not changed Paxton was still ignoring her which by the way made her to feel bad because their work was always great when they discussed options and whatnot but now it was monotone and boring and she was scared to even have a look at him.She was scared she might say something which might piss him off or something.Well in order not to cause any drama she focused on work and didn’t raised her head even once although she could feel his eyes burn into her head as she focused on her work.After a long day at work it was finally time to get back home as she passed by Jaxton’s office it showed he had al
Chapter 67 “What do you mean you almost rejected your bonus Sydney are you crazy?” Sydney’s friend asked through the phone.“Well when I saw the amount that had been credited just for a bonus, girl I panicked it was super humongous and I can’t even begin to think of what I would do with it” she explained to her friend.“You don’t say now Syd, what did Paxton say?” her friend asked her an she had to explained everything that happened in Paxton’s office.(Few Minutes ago)“Well when I got into his office, he gave ,me a task and rhen asked for my account details as I left his office in a million years Tasha I would never have thought he would give me such a huge amount for a bonus” she explained .“And what did you do dufus? Because I know you could have asked him to reduce it” Tasha said and as if she read Sydney like a book it was sure she had rejected it.“You didn’t reject it I hope so?” she deep panned waiting for an answer when Sydney was quiet on the other end of the phone.“Wel
Chapter 68After numerous calls and messages Jaxton not wanting to pick up or responding to any of them so she finally had to exclaim.“Oh my goodness I am done for” Sydney was just disturbed as she was thinking of the many things Jaxton must have thought about her at the moment.After checking her phone for the umpteenth time she finally had to forgo everything and wait for the next day, as it was she was already in bed and it was already extremely late.And she knew nothing could be done.While back at home Jaxton kept himself busy with a bottle of Jack Daniels.He didn’t know why and what had made Sydney stand him up and not take his calls. He began to feel a certain way.“What if Sydney was cheating on him? And what if she was cheating on him with his brother?” he rhetorically asked himself as he took another shot of his Jack Daniels.Turning he saw his phone ringing and it was Sydney but for the fact that he just didn’t want to argue with her over the phone he didn’t take the cal
Chapter 69Sydney didn’t show up to work that day as she had called in sick but the next day after lots of thoughts she finally made her way to work and with the aim to have lunch with Jaxton in his office.As they had an altercation at the elevator Paxton had taken upon himself to make Sydney miserable by giving her double times the work she normally had to do.She had plans for lunch break so she put her mind into what had been given to her to do so she would not mess up the lunch break too.“Are you done with what you are doing?” Paxton asked as he came into her office.“Not yet sir but I would be done before lunch” she responded.“Well, when you are done prepare yourself because we would be going for a lunch meeting with a client” Paxton said which caused her to snap up her head.“Tell me you are joking Paxton?” she asked this time not adding the respect clause to his name.“I am not joking you would be going with me for a meeting so hurry up” he insisted to her.“But I have lunch
Chapter 70“Jaxton, baby, I have been extremely busy these days and I swear to you that day of our date your brother gave me some work to do that’s why I didn’t make I, I came to the restaurant and was told you had left” Sydney explained.“Oh, so I was right. Paxton had a hand in all of these” he thought silently mumbling the words but not loud enough for her to hear what he had said.“What did you say?” she asked since she heard him saying something but sadly he wasn’t loud enough.“Nah! Nothing” Jaxton said. “Go on” he urged her to go on he still wasn’t satisfied with the apology from her end.Or maybe he just wanted her to keep talking as he loved hearing her voice.As she continued talking he wanted to interject but she wouldn’t give him the chance to.And then well her phone just had to choose the worse of all times to begin ringing.“Excuse Babe” she apologized as she took the call.“Right now?” she said into the phone giving him the side eye as if she was scared of what had be
Chapter 71 “Sure you are exhausted right?” Jaxton asked.“Yeah I am and I would love if you can give me a massage just like old times” Sydney said with a cocky smile.“Oh really? I see someone has missed me so much”.“Well if not for the fact that we fight most times I would have been on your lap dry humping you right now you know” she said in a sexy tone.“Hmmm, so that’s it you missed me and for sure we can have the time you want” he responded as he went close to her touching her earlobe.“Why don’t we take a shower together, I would spend the night at your place since it is the weekend and we can have the entire day to ourselves” Jaxton suggested with a wicked grin and a dark smile dancing on his face.“You naughty boy” she said as she climbed the stairs to her room and he followed.It had been a month since they last had an intimate moment because it was either she was busy at work or she was in a mess with him because of his brother and having to fight and apologize over and ove
Chapter 72As she delved into the food he had prepared for her she received a call from Paxton, when she looked around the room she was grateful Jaxton was not in view.“What does he want?” she asked herself out loud.“Hello sir” she said into the phone.“I want you to come to the office right now” he barked into the phone.What the heck! Did this man forget that this was a weekend or what?“Paxton today is a weekend remember?” she asked him and he stayed quiet for a while just breathing before he finally spoke up.“Yes Sydney I know it’s a weekend but we need to do something urgently” he said in the phone with a tone of urgency.Sydney knew it was something serious hence the way he sounded so she quickly got up and rushed ti the bathroom and took a bath.At least she knew that she was going to attend to Jaxton at 12 AM so she sent him a quick text message informing him of where he was and when it showed blue ticks she knew he had seen it even though he didn’t respond immediately.Whe
Chapter 73That all made sense, the reason why they had been working tirelessly was because the company was at the verge of bankruptcy and then the so called Williams had stolen what could be used to remedy the situation if there was a possibility to begin with.Now this all made sense, there was another reason as to why she was asked to check the files.Aside from the stuffs traced to the Williams guy, something else was happening.“But why id Paxton not tell her this and if Jaxton knew too why had he not told her?” she asked no one in particular.There was a possibility of saving the company from this bankruptcy as they would have been able to sell shares and even get into partnership.She thought if these possibilities because she had become too familiar with the company and her job was like her first child and she hoped that she could be able to savage the situation.As she stood ther thinking she felt an arm on her body andit was Jaxton.“Let’s go home pumpkin and tomorrow is a S
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
