2023-08-06 13:04:03Styx Syruis was busy playing with his pen when her secretary rushed into her room. There was a smile on his lips as he realised the news brought by her secretary. He's patiently waiting for her to talk and looking at her with a stern face.
"Sir, Mr. Antonio Xedler passed away last month, and they tried to hide it, but our team was able to know the news." His face remained blank while waiting for more information from her secretary."I—I already talked to our lawyer and—""Has he already transferred the shares to me?" he asked in monotone. His secretary bowed her head, and her knees started to tremble in fear. She knew that once she spilled unpleasant information to her boss, he would lash out and fire her."N-No, sir. His daughter will—"Her secretary was cut off when someone opened the door, which created a noise inside the room. Mr. Styx Syruis slowly tilted his head to look at the person who had the audacity to interrupt the important conversation, but he got halted when he saw a woman wearing a red dress that was fitted to her body and emphasised her curves.His jaw dropped, and the strength he had earlier vanished instantly. He tried to blink his eyes twice, only to realise that his mind was not fooling him."It's rude to stare, Mr. Styx Syruis," the woman said while smirking. His heart immediately recognised the voice of that girl, and it hammered inside him."Mr. Syruis, she is Mr. Xedler's daughter. She will take over the position of her father," her secretary muttered as she held the table for support."My name is Zyxhiaxy Xedler, and from now on, I will reign over this company."And from that moment on, their gazes didn't leave each other. While Styx was wondering how this woman made it standing inside his office now after being announced as dead, Zyxhiaxy was cursing him and killing him in her mind.Related chapters

Zyxhiaxy Who knows that this is how it feels to see your enemy almost turn pale while wearing a shocked face? It is kind of satisfying, as well as my favourite moment so far."How's the meeting with the board? You weren't gatecrashing the ongoing meeting, were you?" I rolled my eyes and began smoothly shaking the glass of my wine while a small yet sarcastic grin plastered on my lips."Zy, you have no permission to interrupt their meeting, yet you did," he added."As far as I know, I am now the chairman of the board after Dad passed away. What's wrong with that?" I looked at Duex, who suddenly sat up on my couch and secretly laughed when he saw I was pissed.I took a deep breath and crossed my legs while playing with the ice in the drink. I froze for a moment when I remembered Styx's reaction. It looks like he saw a ghost, but maybe he did. the ghost of his past."Tsk. I'm just concerned about you, babe. What does your beloved husband say?" I almost spit out what I was drinking at the

Zyxhiaxy I sighed in relief after fifty minutes of staring at my white ceiling. I can't count how many times I let out a deep breath because I couldn't get my mind off what happened last night at the party.Styx's face kept running and appearing in my mind. The way he uttered 'I miss you' was so realistic that I almost believed it. I grinned sarcastically and clenched my hand that was currently placed over my chest. I'm still wearing my pyjamas, and my hair is still a mess because I don't have the strength to get up today. I heard my phone ring several times until I got up and answered it."Good morning," was greeted cheerfully by the person on the other line, but I was in no mood to answer and remained silent."Tsk, tsk. Why are you frowning again, so early, ah?" I went inside the bathroom and faced the mirror. I frowned when I saw my appearance. Shit. I feel lifeless.Annoyed, I hung up on him and started to fix myself. I put toothpaste on my toothbrush and started brushing my teet

Zyxhiaxy "I suggest we expand the casino so we'd attract more tourists since our target is foreigners and businessmen. What do you think, Mr. Syruis?" His eyes widened, and he sat up after hearing what I said. Tsk, tsk. He obviously wasn't listening to the meeting because he had been staring at me while playing with his ballpoint pen for a while. He smiled hesitantly before looking around at the people sitting at the long table, who were now waiting for what he had to say. They were all focused on him, so I couldn't help but grin because of his state."I agree with, uh, Ms. Xedler. That's a very nice suggestion." I nodded before continuing. I need to earn their trust as soon as possible. They all still have doubts about my ability, but I won't let them think of me like that over time.I sat on the swivel chair while signing the papers handed to me by my secretary. I still hadn't eaten, so I could feel my stomach growling, but I didn't pay attention to it and continued, but Styx grabb

Zyxhiaxy "The next time you do that, you are no longer my friend, okay?" I yelled at Duex while putting my diamond earrings on my ear. Annoyed, I glanced at him, who was now watching me laugh while resting his two arms on the sofa.He got into my house while I was still sleeping because he had his own key to the house. He was able to enter my house. He hangs out here a lot, so I let him have the key, but not to wake me up so early and during my deep slumber!I fell asleep late last night because I still can't get over how Styx stared at me last night. He looked at me like he was really in love with me. It's funny because while he's happily trying to take my heart, I'm secretly laughing at his stupidity.I was just starting my agenda, but everything was going smoothly according to our plans. We didn't have a hard time because Styx himself came to me willingly and was willing to kneel in front of me to forgive him and do anything just to get me back.I expected it to happen, but not th

Zyxhiaxy That feeling that you thought you were already okay, but it was only temporary. That's when you realise that things won't stay like that forever. Even if you feel happiness and are free, it will also come to a point where you will return to everything when all you have to feel is sadness and emptiness. Even pleasure is short-lived."You said that she's in Florida." I gritted my teeth while my fists were clenched. I shed a few tears that pooled in my eyes before I looked at him."You said she's not currently staying here?" I asked, full of reproach. He shifted his weight uncomfortably and looked straight at me."I thought she was in Florida, too, Zy." I laughed sarcastically while trying to hide the pain that I felt inside me. I looked around the four corners of my office as if I could find the answer to the hundreds of questions running through my mind.When did she get home?And why the hell did she come back?I don't know why, but recalling what happened in the department

Zyxhiaxy I spent the whole day finishing the paperwork to check the location in Zambales. It was really an exhausting day because something came up and created a huge problem in our company.The team was now doing their task to address it, but I couldn't think properly because I knew some of them would blame me. Is it my fault that the investors from France backed out? What can I do? We need them to continue our projects; we can sue them for not following the contracts, and the legal team is now working on it."Can you go there alone? Won't you get lost?" Duex asked, leaning on my car with his arms crossed.It's a BMW, and I got it from him; it was his gift."There is waze." I combed my hair using my fingers out of frustration. It's really stressful!He arched a brow, and I examined his body. He was only wearing a plain white shirt paired with khaki shorts. It suits him—well, everything."Okay, just call me when you need help, okay?" I nodded before sliding myself inside my car. I wa

Zyxhiaxy I decided to take a shower to calm myself; the face of Styx was lingering in my mind, and I couldn't help but groan when the heat started to eat my entire being.I almost rolled my eyes while water started to come into contact with my bare skin. I almost had sex with Styx! And I fucking responded to his kiss, and the worst is that I begged him to touch me.After cleaning myself, I brush my teeth and do my skincare routine. Until I put the mask on my face, I could still feel the heat on my face from our scene earlier. It's a good thing that his secretary called, so what should not have happened was prevented.I lay down on the big bed to rest, but I was still surprised by the events earlier. I felt my lips still on Styx's. My face turned red again. I fucking hate myself because I let him see me in that state. I should be happy because I knew I was already in the middle of my plans, but I couldn't help feeling nervous while recalling how I reacted to his stares. His dark eyes

Zyxhiaxy "Are you sure you're okay staying there?" Duex asked on the other line. I fixed my messy hair because of the strong wind, and even though he couldn't see, I still managed to nod."I think I need a break first, and besides, Styx wasn't that threat to us; he was even willing to give me all his shares last night." I laughed.I heard his sigh on the other line. "Do you think he's still clueless about our plans?" My forehead creased before I walked to my couch and played with the remote control.I thought. "Yes...?" I'm not sure."I mean yes! I was doing great, so I was so sure he still has no clue about our real agenda. He may not be dumb but a little stupid." I laughed as I remembered what Styx and I talked about last night. I don't know if he is really serious about transferring shares to me or if he is just joking. When he does that, his downfall will be facilitated. I don't have to work hard to steal everything he has from him because he gives it to me himself, but that wasn

"Ma'am, do you have an appointment?" Duex's secretary greeted me. I couldn't miss the way she glanced at me.I raised my brow. It was clear she was new here, as most employees already knew me—not just because I'm the daughter of the former owner, but because I'm the major shareholder of this company. She wasn't hiding, but she also wasn't overly familiar. Only employees and company partners were privy to such details. I handed over leadership to Duex because I needed to focus on my plans with Styx back then, but now, if it's true that Duex was the cause of my and my son's suffering, I won't hesitate to reclaim what's mine and make him pay for all the harm he's caused."You won't like it if I introduce myself," I replied coldly, giving her a stern look. She smiled nervously but persisted."Ma'am, an appointment is required—""Let her in." I was surprised when someone spoke behind me. His familiar scent immediately enveloped me. I kept my eyes on his secretary, trying to maintain my com

I woke up with swollen eyes and a pounding headache. I couldn't remember what happened last night. It was exhausting trying to piece it all together to understand what he said. I just wanted to bury myself in bed and let everything happen, but I couldn't allow that. I have a child who needs me. Plus, Styx's statement that I'm pregnant added to my determination to confirm it before taking any risky steps.I got up from bed and lifted the blanket off my son. He was sleeping soundly, cuddled with a pillow. I kissed his forehead and caressed his cheek before heading to the bathroom to freshen up.After bathing, I dressed in a two-piece suit and applied light makeup. I made sure the blush on my face was subtle before briefly styling my hair and slipping on two-inch heels. Since Zenith was still asleep, I waited for him to wake up before leaving. I planned to take him along since there would be no one to watch over him."Mommy? Where are you going?" He rubbed his eyes and looked at me with

"When we return to Manila, will anything change?" Styx's question caught me off guard.Will it? I mean, I've grown accustomed to his presence, and I know my son is the same way. It won't be easy for me to readjust, but whatever happens, happens. It's frustrating how quickly tears welled up as I struggled to fit Zenith's things into a bag. Our journey back to Manila starts now. I don't know what life awaits us there, but I want to face it head-on. Staying here and hiding won't solve anything.Things are okay between Styx and me now, and I know he has no intention of hurting me or our son."Maybe," I simply replied and continued packing.I felt his presence beside me, so I stopped and looked at him blankly. His eyes were full of emotion, almost pleading. I tried to avoid it, but he gently held my cheeks and turned my face towards him.A tear fell from my eye. I quickly wiped it away and looked away from him."Do you still love me?" he asked, his voice breaking. I bit my lower lip and av

I began to walk in the field of green and fresh grass as I stared at my son. He giggled and wrinkled his nose while holding a bouquet of flowers, with his father beside him, staring at me intensely and not averting his gaze.My cheeks flushed. I didn't say anything and continued walking until I stopped in front of them. I turned my gaze away, feeling nervous because of his presence. The beautiful view of the blue sky perfectly complemented the greenery around us.Styx was wearing his usual office attire, which made him even more intimidating and attractive. I gulped, clearing the lump in my throat, and held my breath when he touched my delicate hand."Beautiful," he murmured, bringing my hand to his lips and kissing it lovingly."Thanks," I replied, even though I felt the whole damn zoo inside my abdomen."Mommy, you're pretty." My attention was drawn to my son when he spoke. I smiled at him, tears welling up in my eyes."Thank you, mi amor."Styx pulled me down to a spread-out fabric

"Mommy! Please let's ride there! Daddy, please!" I chuckled as I glanced at our child, who was being incredibly persistent. I couldn't blame him; it was our first time back at the theme park, and he was beyond excited, unable to sit still."Sure, but let's walk around first. Is there anything you want to buy?" Styx asked Zenith, holding our child's left hand. I held onto Zenith's right hand tightly, afraid he might get lost in the crowd."I want cotton candy!" Styx bought Zenith cotton candy and insisted I take some too, even though I initially refused because I didn't eat it. He widened his eyes in persuasion."Which rides do you want to go on?" he asked our child. Zenith finished the cotton candy and grinned widely."I want to ride the carousel horse," he said excitedly. Styx glanced at me, so I raised an eyebrow at him. Crossing my arms, I stared at him blankly."Go with your son," I murmured. He furrowed his brows and looked at our son."Why me?""Why not you?" I retorted.He frown

It's been a week since Styx started staying here. I don't know how long he plans to stay, but I have no intention of asking. Our plan to go to the mall yesterday didn't push through because I wasn't feeling well. I spent the whole day locked in my room while Styx sold snacks and balot at night. He also took care of our son."Do you feel okay?" Styx asked and placed a plate full of food on the table. I just nodded and clung tightly to the blanket covering my body. I didn't have a fever, cold, or cough, I just really wasn't feeling well and often felt dizzy. He wanted to take me to the hospital, but it wasn't necessary because it was a minor issue for me."Eat a lot, you need to be healthy for our son." He sat beside me and handed me the food. I didn't say anything because I really didn't have an appetite today. I suddenly felt this way."Where's my son?" He fed me a spoonful of rice and food. I was hesitant at first, but I just shrugged it off.He wiped the sauce from the side of my lip

I quickly pushed him away and turned around to hide my blushing face. I wanted so badly to scream, but I couldn't let him see me in this state. Even though I felt weak, I tried to continue washing the dishes, but I froze in place when a strong arm wrapped around my small waist and hugged me.I did not move as I remained frozen. His chest touched my back and sent shivers down my spine. He rested his chin on my shoulder and kissed me there. I tried to pull away, but it wasn't enough because of my weakness. His manly scent enveloped me, and his warm hands placed on my body were enough to reach my heart."S-Styx, what are you doing?" I told him and slightly moved."Can we stay like this for a while? I missed you," he sounded tired.I tried to push him again, but he only tightened his embrace. Slowly, I weakened and allowed him to hug me. After a few minutes, he moved on his own. He kissed my neck again and let out a deep sigh."I wish we could stay like this forever, Xhia," he whispered."

"Mommy, where's Daddy?" I paused folding clothes when Zenith spoke. He was sitting at the edge of the bed, playing with his feet raised on the bed."I don't know, child." He pouted and frowned. I really didn’t know. After Styx brought us home when Zenith was discharged from the hospital, he said he would leave for a while. It didn’t matter to me. I didn’t care if he never came back."I want to see Daddy," he whispered like he didn’t want me to hear it. I sighed and rolled the clothes. I sat beside him and stroked his chubby cheeks. His gentle eyes looked at me, filled with sadness as if he missed his father's presence."Are you angry with Mommy, child?" I asked softly. I looked at him nervously when he didn’t answer, but I was immediately relieved when he smiled at me.He shook his head. "No, Mommy."I breathed a sigh of relief. "Why? Aren't you angry with Mommy because I didn't tell you immediately that he’s your Daddy?" I asked further.He smiled and pinched my cheeks. "Mommy, I know

"Dear, you should eat first. I've noticed you look so weak since last night. You might get sick," Inang noted while arranging the fruits on a table beside Zenith's bed.Styx had moved Zenith to a private room. At first, I didn't agree, but he pleaded with me, saying it was for Zenith.I didn't know why he was acting this way towards me now. Our eyes often met, but he quickly looked away as if my gaze was burning him.He left a while ago and hasn't returned yet. Zenith is asleep and resting after taking his medicine."I'm okay, Inang. You can go home now and rest. I'll take care of the hospital bills. Len-Len talked to Aling Isang and she agreed to lend me money to help with the bill."She frowned, clearly displeased with what I said."Isn't that man the one who moved your child to a private room?"I nodded and bit the inside of my cheek. "I can pay the bill even without him. We don't need him." Inang sighed and placed her hand on mine.She opened her mouth as if to say something, but
