Chapter 22: It was not a dream Leilani MooreThe night was perfect even though it went overboard with a series of drinks, Joel was charming and I enjoyed his company so much more than I had expected, when I decided to go home, he offered to drive me home because I was a bit tipsy, we also exchanged numbers before he left. I waited and waved him goodbye, happy I met him again and walked towards my room feeling lightheaded. I took a quick bath when I got into my room, I felt my tensed-up muscles relaxing and finally I threw myself on the bed, but as soon as I laid on the bed I felt the fatigue from the whole day catching up on me, my eyelids grew heavy until the sudden ringing of my phone, with a groan I stretched my hand and grabbed my phone, I look at the caller’s ID and it was Jaxon.I furrowed my brows as I wondered why he was calling by this time, I swiped my phone and answered the call barely able to stifle a yawn as I lifted the phone to my ear. “Why are you calling me at this

Chapter 23: The Surprise Kiss. Leilani Moore “Come,” Jaxon said signaling me to move closer, I did and couldn’t help but glance around, still in disbelief at the effort he had put into this night. The flowers, the candles, the music… everything. It was great and it also made me wonder about the stress it must have taken to get this done. We finally sat down and immediately, I took my fork and started eating. The food was delicious, I noticed that Jaxon must have told them what I liked, it was exactly made to suit my taste buds, I stared at him for a brief second awe he still remembered what I liked to eat. I could feel his eyes on me, clearly waiting for my reaction or how I felt about the meal. “Is the food okay?” He asked looking at me intently. “Yes,” I said with a small smile. “It’s really good.” He seemed pleased with my answer, “Phew! That was great, I was hoping they didn’t do it wrong,” he was dramatic in the way he talked and I couldn’t help but laugh shortly. “You

Chapter 24: Uncertainty Leilani Moore “You’re not telling the truth, Leilani, I know you too much to guess when you’re hiding something or not. And Leilani I know will rather be at home all day than spend a minute outside except it’s necessary. What kept you so late?” she asked, her eyes narrowing slightly, the usual hint of concern in her voice. “Mom and Dad asked about you. They were getting worried.” I shook my head, forcing a smile as I slipped off my shoes and tossed my jacket onto the chair nearby as I stepped into the house, Ruth followed quietly behind me waiting for me to reply to her. “They could have texted,” I grumbled. “You wouldn’t believe what happened.” Ruth raised an eyebrow, her interest piqued. “What? I knew something happened,” she wriggled her brows at me and I laughed. “Where is mom and dad?” I asked “They have retired for the day, you know these old people sleep early,” she replied and I chuckled. I sighed as I sat down on the couch, remembering the whole

Chapter 25: Different SectionJaxon Wolff I groaned as my phone suddenly started ringing, dragging me from the deep sleep I was having, I sighed as I turned over to pick up the phone. The screen flashed Louis’ name, and I groaned again, rolling over onto my back as I answered the call, holding the phone to my ear.“What is it, Louis?” My voice was rough, still thick with the remnants of sleep.“Good morning, Mr. Wolff,” Louis replied, I almost cursed him for waking me up but I rubbed my face trying to ease my mind. “The Moores have sent over the document for the collaboration. They want us to look it over today, it’s past the time you visit the office and I decided to call you and let you know.” The mention of the Moores had my attention immediately. I sat up quickly, my brain snapping to focus. I wiped the sleep from my eyes and rubbed my face, trying to clear the grogginess that was still lingering. “Send it to me,” I said, my voice sharper now.“Of course, right away,” he replied

Chapter 26: I need to get you homeLeilani Moore I had just wrapped up a meeting at the office, going over some financial projections for Moore’s Corporation, when my phone buzzed, I took it and it was Joel, I was actually expecting his call.“Leilani,” the voice on the other end was warm, almost soothing. “I hope I’m not disturbing you, are you free now so that I can come for you?” He asked and I smiled at his politeness.“I was just finishing up some work,” I said, checking the time. “You’re free to come over now, are you far away?” I asked.“I’m not too far,” Joel replied.“just drop the location, I will be there in a jiffy,” “Okay,” I replied and the call came to an end, I texted the location to Joel and quickly rounded up my work, as soon as I was done, his text came through telling me he was outside the company, I grabbed my jacket and made my way out of the company. I met him outside, relaxing in his car, as soo

Chapter 27: Querida Jaxon WolffThe anger still burned in my chest because of the remnants of my encounter with my father and Joel. I tried to focus on the board meeting, but it was like trying to watch a movie while someone was blaring music in the background. I couldn't concentrate, couldn't hear what anyone was saying. Every time someone spoke, my mind wandered back to that conversation, to the frustration that always seemed to follow my father's visits.“We will continue this meeting another time,” I excused myself, adjourning the meeting, something I rarely did. I didn't even apologize and just walked out.Just then, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I glanced at the screen and it was my mom. This was the fourth time she called me today.I let out a deep breath as I picked up the call and then walked towards my office, "Jaxon," my mom's voice came through the phone, warm as always but I noticed her voice was low which was unusual for me questioning if something was wrong with her.

Chapter 28: Care For Him Leilani MooreEven though Jaxon had weight, I was able to put him inside his car and then I went inside my car driving into the compound, I killed the car engine and went inside where my parents and Ruth were watching the television, they looked happy that was back. “Thank God you are back, come join us,” my mom said but I waved dismissively“I’m sorry Mom, I have somewhere to be I will be back,” I noticed Ruth narrowed her eyes at me, I didn’t wait for them to say another thing and I walked out of the house quickly. I went back to meet Jaxon and he was already asleep in his car, I purred the car to life and drove, I gently tapped him and he opened his eyes “Your location?” I asked since I wasn’t so sure where he lived anymore. Jaxon groggily pressed a button and I saw the location of his house, I realized it was the same place he had lived when we were together, I glanced at him and I noticed his head lolling to the side, his breathing deep and steady.

Chapter 29: Breakfast deal Leilani Moore I felt something warming my back as I groggily opened my eyes, not just that I felt a soft breathing in my back and then I realized it was Jaxon, my breath hitched. I slowly turned my head to see him still asleep beside me. His chest rose and fell in a peaceful rhythm. I felt relieved that he was okay and at the same time I was confused and frustrated about how I ended up spending the night here, I had fallen asleep while trying to look after him and I didn’t get back home. I sat up carefully, trying not to disturb him. My heart pounded in my chest as I reached out and gently placed the back of my hand on his forehead. His temperature was normal, and I let out a quiet breath of relief. It wasn't that I thought something terrible had happened to him but the way he was vulnerable last night that shook me to my core. It was something I never witnessed and if someone told me that Jaxon could be seen like that I would have laughed at the perso

Chapter 44: I am all yours. Leilani Moore“Answer me!”Jaxon demanded and I couldn’t look him in the eyes, I was so out of it that I had said what I wasn’t supposed to say. I felt my pulse quicken as Jaxon's hand held mine firmly, his grip a mix of concern and insistence. His eyes searched mine, trying to understand what was going on. I felt so open to his eyes, I felt naked and I wanted to move away from him, from the world, from everything. He asked again, his voice barely above a whisper as his gaze locked with mine, "Are you angry, Leilani?"I yanked my hand away, the feeling of his fingers slipping from mine sending a strange pang through my chest. Why did it hurt so much to let go?"I'm not angry," I snapped, forcing the words out as I turned my back on him, I was going to the bathroom, but just needed a moment to breathe, to steady myself before I said something I would regret.But before I could even take two steps, his hand shot out, grabbing my wrist, pulling me back toward

Chapter 43: Are You Jealous? Jaxon Wolff I sat on the edge of the bed, the soft vibration of my phone on the nightstand pulling me out of my restless thoughts. It was a message from Natalie, her name flashing on the screen. The message was simple, "Jaxon, I want to talk about yesterday. I feel awful about everything, and I just need to get it off my chest."Normally, I would have ignored it. It wasn't that I didn't care about Natalie. Because, honestly, I did. She had been a friend for years, and it wasn't easy for me to dismiss her feelings. But I knew that the situation between her and me was complicated, and I wasn't sure I was ready for any more emotional turmoil, I wanted to make it clear so that she would know that I have someone else at heart. This was a chance to keep things from getting awkward between us, I had to meet her. I let out a heavy sigh and texted back, “Okay. I will come over."I left the hotel an hour later, I was inside the car and I couldn’t help it as my mi

Chapter 42: Savior Of The Day Leilani MooreI was beyond furious. Furious with myself, furious with Jaxon, and furious with the entire world. Everything was spinning in my mind, crashing down like waves against jagged rocks, threatening to pull me under the bus. I couldn't stand being cooped up in the hotel anymore, not after what had happened earlier. I was still angry over the call I had with Derek and at the same time, I couldn’t stop myself from thinking about Jaxon and Natalie no matter how I tried not to, my mind still going back there and it was unhealthy for me. I needed to get out of this building and receive some air, maybe with that I would stop thinking about him. Without thinking, I threw on some clothes and stormed out of the hotel, I grabbed a cab without hesitation, “where are you going?” The driver asked “Uhm… take me to any fancy restaurant, anywhere that would distract me for a while,” I had no place in mind, I knew nothing about Paris so I couldn’t choose a loca

Chapter 41: We Are DoneLeilani MooreI woke up to the sound of Jaxon's phone ringing. The loud sound of the phone had cut through my phone, pulling me out of the depths of sleep. I glanced at the bedside table, where his phone lay face up, flashing brightly. The name on the screen stood out and it was Natalie. I felt a jolt in my stomach, that familiar feeling of jealousy whenever I heard or saw her name riding within me. I swallowed hard, refusing to acknowledge it, trying to remind myself that I had no right to feel any kind of way regarding their relationship. I stared at the phone for a moment longer, watching as the call rang through, before I turned my gaze to the window, trying to push back the intrusive thoughts.The phone had stopped ringing at some point, and I heard Jaxon stir beside me. He groggily reached for it, mumbling something under his breath. I didn't move. I didn't want to be caught in the middle of whatever conversation was about to take place between them. So,

Chapter 40: Better not come any closer Leilani MooreI paced back and forth in the hotel room, my bare feet making quiet taps against the plush carpet. My mind was racing, too many thoughts tangled together in a chaotic mess. I checked the clock again. 9:14 PM. Jaxon had left this afternoon. around 2 PM, to have lunch with Natalie and it was almost nine now. Almost seven hours had passed. The longer I waited, the more my thoughts began to go uncontrollable. Why hadn’t he come back yet? Where was he?My fingers hovered over my phone, itching to call him. But I stopped myself each time. I didn’t want to seem clingy or overbearing. That’s what I kept telling myself. He was just having lunch, right? It’s not like I had any right to get upset. I wasn’t his girlfriend, I wasn’t anything to him, really.But then why did the feeling of betrayal stir inside me? I couldn’t deny that my patience was running thin. Natalie. That name kept ringing in my head like an annoying echo. She was so… char

Chapter 39: Unexpected Jaxon Wolff I hadn't seen Natalie in two years, not since that gala in New York. I still remembered the elegance in the way she moved, the way she captivated every room she walked into, with her warm smile and infectious charisma. Natalie wasn't just beautiful, she had this aura around her, an energy that made you want to know her better. But life had its own plans, and I had lost track of her after the gala. "I can't believe it's really you," I said, stepping back to look at her properly. She hadn't changed at all, still the same, with her signature style and that effortless charm. She chuckled and widened up her hands, I gently pulled her into a shirt hug. "I could say the same," she replied, laughing lightly as she pulled away "How have you been?" "Good, busy," I said, shrugging. "Same old, same old." "You look great," she added with a smile. "I almost didn't recognize you." "You too," I said, my gaze lingering on her for a moment longer than necessar

Chapter 38: Who Is She Leilani MooreIt was the sound of a knock that pulled me out of my deep slumber. I groggily opened my eyes, the soft morning light streaming through the curtains. My mind was foggy, my body felt a little stiff from the uncomfortable bed and the late-night thoughts that had kept me awake before I was able to fall asleep.The knock came again, more persistent this time. I threw the blanket off of me, trying to shake off the heaviness in my limbs, and walked to the door. I pulled it open and it was Jaxon. The first thing I noticed eyes were heavy with fatigue, dark circles under them, his usual confident posture drooping just a little. I felt a pang of annoyance, but I couldn’t place exactly why. Was I upset with him for leaving or upset with myself for feeling the way I felt, lonely and hoping he joined me. “Morning,” he muttered, his voice rough from lack of sleep.“Jaxon, you look awful.” The words came out before I could stop them, and I winced.He gave me

Chapter 37: A part of me. Leilani MooreThe day had finally arrived for my flight to Paris. This was my first time visiting Paris, and even when I had several opportunities to do that I never did, my parents insisted on driving me to the airport, even though I am a full-grown woman who was married and now divorced, my parents still believe I am their little baby, o couldn’t help but smile at how protective they are sometimes. “Take care of yourself, sweetheart,” my mom said, pulling me into a tight hug. “Paris is beautiful, remember to go out, okay? You know how to reach us if you need anything and don’t just focus on business, enjoy the land before coming back.” I nodded, holding on a little longer, not wanting to let go. My father was standing a few feet away, his usual calm demeanor not betraying any emotion, but I could see the pride in his eyes as he gave me a smile.“Don’t forget to enjoy yourself while you’re there,” he added, his voice steady but warm. “And remember, you ha

Chapter 36: Your Words Are Balm Leilani MooreI stared at my phone wondering what had gotten to me, I would normally have discharged Jaxon but I couldn’t but want to be there for him when he called him, it seems these days when he is going through something I was the first for him to call. I couldn’t help the smile that crept to my face, my heart fluttering feeling special, I quickly cleared my throat trying not to let that get to me, I let out a deep breath and looked around for what I needed before I left the house. I was halfway through packing when Ruth barged into my room, her usual energy filling the space before she even spoke."When are you leaving for Paris?" she asked, already knowing the answer, though she probably just wanted to hear it from me. I stopped what I was doing and turned to look at her, I wanted to complain about the way she barged into my room but I kept shut. "Three days," I answered, looking over at her with a raised brow. "Why do you ask?"She gave me a
