Jaxon went from meeting to meetings the next day meeting with people that would provide the preparations for the shareholder's meeting and he sat in his office a minute later, "Have you submitted the statements to SEC?""Yes sir,""And there were no troubles?""No sir, the profits and loss of the company were effectively included in the statement and the audit confirmed it,""Okay then, what of the board pack?""It's in preparation sir and I've prepared all the documents that you said I should include in the board pack,""That's good, send me a copy of the board pack when it is ready,""Okay, sir,""You can go then,"The secretary of the company left the office feeling proud that he had done the things the CEO told him to do and Jaxon smiled after him, He liked it when his people were efficient.Speaking of people, he stood up from his seat to go see Silas and knocked on the door before entering, "what is the golden boy up to?""Nothing," Silas looked up from his desk and smiled."You
They sat on the couch later playing some video games and Jessie felt more at home than she had ever done with him "I can't believe you bought this much junk...""Yeah... I didn't know which one you'll like so bought everything ...""That's fair,"They kept on playing the game trying to outdo one another and Jessie won, "so you're better than me at this,""Yeah... that's because I spent a lot of time playing this level,""So what do you want to do next, play another game, drink another bottle of wine?""I want to talk... Talk with you...""Okay," "But I have to use the bathroom first..."Oh...you can use the one in my bedroom,""Okay,"She went to the room he had pointed out and went into the bathroom easing herself until she was done and she went back into the room where she noticed its beauty.It was white with black couches and a wide king-sized bed, she felt like jumping on it but she didn't. She went to bed and touched the edge instead, "you love it?""Uhn?"She turned around sta
The meeting came quicker than Jaxon expected making him feel prepared and he sat among the other shareholders that morning, "welcome to the annual shareholder's meeting of JS communications", the chairperson announced and everyone adjusted in their seats."We have quite a lot to discuss today and a lot of decisions to make so we better get started, for those who are not around... Their votes would be cast by proxy and that's that, let's start..."The only person who was not around was his uncle and he didn't care if he came, he had been the one to jeopardize the company and even if he hadn't had any evidence, he still knew it.He turned into what the man was saying, "The first topic on the agenda is discussing the merger of the subsidiary to our target company. As it is, we have two subsidiary companies and need one to acquire the company, what do you think?""I say we use the KS wiring...", A shareholder spoke up."Why?""Because it is much related to the target company we want to bu
Alva stood in front of the fridge later that evening and took a pack of beer. She had read through the note that Jackson left for Jaxon and knew that he was remorseful but why had he acted like a jerk that night? He had just been smug acting like he didn't care but she knew it was the alcohol.He hadn't sounded like that when he told her that he wanted to apologize.She took the pack of beer and went upstairs entering Jaxon's room. She had followed him back home hoping that she couldn't help him with the trauma but she didn't know if he would let her.He hadn't said a word since she dragged him out of there and she wondered if he would say anything.She passed him a beer and sat beside him drinking a beer herself, "You know you can let it outright, you don't need to bottle your feelings up..."He sniffed and she noticed he was melancholic, "Jaxon?""He had killed my parents... I spent the past years trying to get past the fact that someone had tried to kill us, actually succeeded in k
"What!... Jackson was the villain?""Yes,""And he's just coming out about it... Why?""I don't know too but probably because he feels remorse,""He feels remorse... That's debatable,"The three of them mostly Silas, Jessie, and Jordan sat in Alva's kitchen as she told them what had been happening for the past couple of days and looked at her.She had called them after she had managed to convince Jaxon to let her go from the house and she sat by the kitchen island sipping her drink."Are you okay though... You look calm?" Jessie asked Alva and she nodded."I knew before he told Jaxon that he was the person, I had hypnosis with my therapist and I remembered that night but I didn't confirm it until he told me in Germany,""He met with you?""Yes... To apologize...""And did you forgive him?""Kind of... I mean I already kind of forgave the person since it won't do me any good to keep grudges but Jaxon isn't taking it so lightly... He's having nightmares and the alcohol in the house is d
Alva knocked on the door later the next day and waited for the housekeeper to open up before walking in, "where's Jaxon?""In his room,"She didn't wait for her to say more as she was excited to tell Jaxon about their trip and she got to his room, "Jaxon...""Alva..." He said happy and relieved to see her and she smiled."Get your things ready... We're going on a vacation,""What... What are you talking about?""I mean we're going on a trip so get your things ready,""But how can we... I mean Jay and the company, your gallery... Family,""Everyone has been taken care of, I dropped Jay off with your dad and I've told the rest of them, they all agreed...""Did you...""Of course not, I didn't tell your dad yet, he'll be devastated,""Oh thank you", he said taking a breath of relief, "but... I don't... It's too sudden,""It's better than sitting here drinking alcohol all day and night, I think would be better for you to go to another environment,""I..."He looked at her for a moment and
The next day Alva dragged them to the shopping mall and Jaxon protested, "What are we going to do here now?""Shop, what do you think...""But I already have a lot of clothes at home...""Shopping is not to replace your collection but add to the ones you already have, so let's start with some clothes for you, I'm going to pick them out for you and you're going to help me pick out mine too,"He groaned after her as they went and she smiled, it kind of reminded her how he had been aloof too when they first came there.They went into a shop that sold clothes, men's clothes especially and he did a whole fashion show for her. Going in and out of the dressing room with different clothes on him."Oh, that one is good...""No...""Sexy...""Wow..."She wanted to laugh at all the expressions he was giving her and she smiled, "Last one then, the black top with white trousers...""Alva...""Please, I promise you it's going to be all worth it,"He went in with a cloth and changed into it before c
The building was tall with white lights surrounding the corners of it and Madison walked into the building that was Alex's fashion house. It was a known fashion house for creating beautiful and iconic designs that she wore and she knew the designer, Alex Reggaeton.She walked onto the second floor and there she saw other models that had come for the fitting and rehearsals. According to him, they would be holding the first batch of the rehearsals that day along with the fittings and the rest of the rehearsals would continue tomorrow and the other days to the fashion week.She greeted the designer, "Alex,""Oh my god Madison... it's been a while, how are you?"Good and you?""Good too, I heard from your manager...""Yes right,""We should talk about it after the rehearsals,""Okay, I'll see you in your studio,""Okay, coming..."He went to meet one of the other crew that would be helping in the fittings and she sat with a model she knew, "Alison,""Hey,""How are you doing?" They did a
Alva went to Jaxon's house the next day her heart beating fast and she found them fooling around in the kitchen, "what are you guys doing?""Cooking,""Mama!" He rushed into her hands even though he was already a little past three years old and she caught him in her hands."Why are you doing that when you know you can't handle him?""Who told you that?""Look at his hands..." She pointed to his hands that were stained with sauce and he looked away guilty, "Okay, maybe I did indulge him a little,""So what are you guys cooking?" She dropped Jay on his feet and went to the counter where he was finishing up a spaghetti sauce, "spaghetti and meatballs,""Hmm, it looks so good,”"I know right,""Well, I have something to tell you when we're done eating...""Not before I show you something I've been preparing,""Oh really?""Yes, I hope you like it,""Okay, I'm curious now,"He served them the pasta and they ate before getting ready for wherever Jaxon was taking them to, "won't you tell me n
They were back at the house two days later and Alva was taking a bath in the shower. She had had a brief period of cooking and she thought she should take a bath. She was feeling different though she couldn't explain and she had vomited, she wasn't sure if it was what she thought.Pushing the thought back from her mind, she picked up a towel and wrapped it around her before going into the room that was theirs. Jaxon wasn't there, she wondered where he was.She cleaned off her body and when she had dried off her hair, she went to the closet to decide what to wear. Jaxon's clothes were there and so also hers but something in her decision to pick up Jaxon's shirt and she put it on.She would like to see how much he could resist her or maybe she just wanted to turn him on.She flipped back her hair and went into the sitting room.****Jaxon was finishing up a call when she walked in. He stopped talking for a moment and stared at her, "Jaxon?" Silas said on the phone, "... what's wrong, is
The next few weeks were used planning the opening of Alva's gallery and Madison was busy with the fashion week. It was hectic as usual and Madison was trying to put on her shoes as it was her turn to walk the runway.She had walked a lot of shows that night and she was tired. She had this last show to run and that was all."Okay give Madison over there a touch of her makeup," the designer they were modeling for directed a makeup artist to her and she got her look touched up."Okay then, you're ready," the man said. She stood in front of the cover to the backstage as she waited for the other model to come in and she went onstage. All eyes were on her or maybe it was the design she wore, she had the looks of everybody on her, she just wished she could smile but she couldn't.She made her turn as she got to the end of the runway and walked back."Okay finally, the group walk," the designer directed.They arranged themselves as they waited for their cue to go onstage and all the models
The next few weeks were hectic for Alva, from going to the gallery to seeing the artist, she had a lot to do before her opening. She was eager to do it."Uhm... We should place that painting to the side..."The paintings were already in frames and they were hanging with other workers and Helen in view, "this is looking beautiful already,""I know right, the paintings are just a good backdrop for the whole setting,""Okay and that would be a wrap," she said after the last painting was hung."Let's take a seat,"They sat down after the workers had all left and it was in Alva's office. The pieces of furniture were already set and the designs were done, "this is all looking good, so the opening is next week right?""Yeah,""I've invited all the people you told me to invite and there are a lot more on my contact list,""Oh thank you, Helen, you're such a lie-saver,"'it's you I should be thanking,""And how is your mum?""She's good. She was happy you came over the last time and the women
They arrived at the Incheon international airport and it was bubbling. A lot of people were going in and out of the terminal and Jaxon grabbed his luggage with Alva's, "okay let's go,""Where are we going?""Just follow my lead okay,"She nodded and followed him going to the parking lot where cars and taxis were parked, "we are going to this place, can you take us there?" He gave a paper to the driver and he nodded."Sure,"They got in and he took them to the Incheon terminal in Korea. She was surprised when they got there, "we're going by ship?""You know I did tell you that I wanted us to go on a cruise together...""Yes you did but I didn't know you meant that,""Of course, I did let's go,"He led her through the rows of ships available and got on one that an attendant led them to, "Mr Jaxon Smith right?" He had asked."Yes,""We got your solo cruise ready, over here,"Thankfully it wasn't Korea he was saying so Alva understood what he was saying, "You got a solo cruise?""Hmm hmm.
Anywhere Helena went to, she always captured people's attention because of her striking beauty even though she didn't dress all classy and gorgeous, but she always had admirers.Her long Raven hair fell to her back almost reaching her bum and enchanting emerald eyes that could put one under a spell.Clinging her fingers round the handle of the carriage, Helena squinted her gaze at the piece of paper in her left hand as she stared at the list of items, her mum had told her to buy in the medium shopping mall not too far from their house.Helena being the free-spirited girl and uhm! Well, always find herself in one trouble and another, she decided to go to big shopping mall located further in town.She hummed, darting her eyes quickly on the shelves in the grocery store as she pushed her carriage slowly.She was so happy today, well, always happy, she picked a can of corn from one of the shelves when she heard a loud voice.“I can't give it to you, old man,” A beautiful girl said firmly
They held the after-party at Jaxon's family house and it was held in the form of a dinner party. They had changed into more comfortable clothes after coming back from the church and they all sat around the table smiling. Jay came to meet her from her sister's laptop where he had been."let's all make a toast to this remarried life and a happy one at that," her father said standing up and the rest of them stood up with their glasses raised."To a happy remarried life!" They all said and drank.They sat down, "let's get to the food then...""Okay,"The housekeeper came to Maria and served the food making sure everything was neat and delicious. It was a feast to say the least, ranging from chicken to fried rice, to steak, there was a whole variety of food and it was to celebrate her, and she was grateful."Thank you, Maria,""It was no big deal, have a nice night, okay?""Okay,"She went back to the kitchen with the assistants that had helped her with the food and they dug in."Wow, this
The opening came sooner than it was expected and Alva had everything in motion. The food, the drinks, and the people coming in, there was a lot."Oh hi Margaret, how are you doing?" She greeted a painter that had brought her work to her."Good and you?""Good too, thank you for accepting my painting,""It's alright, it was worth the gallery,"She smiled and went in bringing into view another client that came in and so and so people started entering. Soon she saw the women that were her kind of companions, Helen, her mom, and the other women, "Oh hi...""Alva, I'm so happy to see this,""It's so nice,""My husband said I must buy one today...""Oh I'll be happy to sell to you and thank you" Alva replied to the ladies and Helen winked at her from the side.They were all wearing elegant clothes and it matched the atmosphere she had set the gallery to be, "we'll have your fill of the artworks, there are also finger foods and wine,""Okay, thank you,"They went to view the arts and Alva sa
They finished picking the clothes and Jessie had picked this beauty of a dress for herself. It was purple, it had wide straps and the edge kind of fell off her shoulders. Josephine had concluded that she wouldn't be wearing any dress as she was okay with the jeans and shirt she always wore while Madison had picked out a black dress, typical of her.Alva on the other hand went with the slim but flay at the end dress and when she had told the attendant what she wanted to be adjusted, they left the shop."So let's go to the bar then, I made a reservation,""Is that alright though, I mean we're going to be drinking and we all brought our cars?""We can call a driver to come drive us,""Oh that's true," Jessie replied and Alva was surprised. She hadn't known she could be a voice of reasoning when they were going through drinking but it was alright."To the bar then,"They all got in their cars and drove to the address that Alva sent them.By the time they got there, they were already hyped
