CHAPTER 61

"Slow down." Donald admonished as soon as they stepped out of the car into the darkness of the area surrounding the penthouse building. "We still have about five minutes before the lights are restored." Axel ignored Donald and kept up his brisk pace. He was not worried that Jubril's men could keep the light off for the amount of time it took to get up to the penthouse, neither was he worried that any camera would pick up their trail in the dark. The only thing that made him hurry up was Claire.She was the only thing on his mind throughout the flight, and the drive from the hanger to his lodge. He missed everything about her. Her touch, the feel of her hair and skin on his, and the way her mouth drove him crazy. He needed to see her.Axel entered the elevator and Donald caught up with him right before the door closed."You know," Donald huffed, "this obsession you have is very unhealthy. Granted, I like Claire. She's perfect for you. But loving her is turning you into someone I canno

CHAPTER 62

Claire woke up the next morning. She felt very cold, and empty. When she turned, she discovered why. Axel had left the bed sometime during the night. Someone had put a wet towel on her head. Her fever had reduced considerably, and she felt stronger. She sat up and stretched just as someone opened the room door.It was Axel, and he was fully dressed in work clothes. He wore a very big frown. "What is my Personal Assistant and Secretary doing in bed at this time of the day?" He bellowed.She squinted at him, uncertain if he was joking or not. His face did not relax a muscle."The car leaves by 8. Be sure you're in it, or you'll have your salary deducted. Bring your language books too, let's see how far you have gone."He turned to leave before she finally found her voice."I'm still your Assistant?" She whispered hoarsely."Of course." He turned back to face her, ignoring her expression. "Have you forgotten the contract of employment you signed?"Claire felt the energy seep from her bo

CHAPTER 63

Shock had rendered her speechless, but she was even more shocked when his hand went up and landed on her backside. "Ow!" She jerked on him, more out of surprise than pain.He was spanking her, and what was more, it didn't hurt. She felt more pleasure than she had earlier. His hand came down on her again, and she giggled."What's funny?" He asked coldly.She wiggled her backside. "Do it again."He did, severally. And each time, her response was a surprised giggle."You seem to be enjoying this too much, Tigress." Axel observed."Yes sir," she responded, "very much so." Claire felt Axel freeze. He was thinking, and she wiggled her toes impatiently. She didn't know just why she had decided to stir the waters that morning. Maybe it was just her childish way of paying him back for that morning. He let her up slowly and tugged her skirt back down."I ordered you never to call me sir. Yet, you disobeyed me. That's fine. Today, I will make you call me nothing but sir, and I will have you be

CHAPTER 64

Claire stood awkwardly beside Axel in the reception, facing the former board of directors. He had his arms in his pockets, and his teeth were clenched. The energy oozing from him reminded Claire once again why he was the most powerful man in New York. Donald stood behind them, arms folded."Do the honors, Miss McLennie." Axel gritted out.Claire looked up at him. "Huh?" She asked in surprise.She looked at the directors, and each of them were staring back at her in confusion. Axel gave her a censored look."You seem to have not yet learned my ways, assistant. Donald!" Claire colored in embarrassment and shifted to give way to Donald.Axel motioned to her. "Show Miss McLennie how it's done." "Yes sir." He stepped forward and faced the erring director. "You have been dismissed by the CEO. Please clear out immediately. Security will escort you out. Please do not return to the premises without a signed invitation from the CEO or Chairman himself."The directors murmured among themselves

CHAPTER 65

Claire thought her heart would fail when Axel mentioned the cost for breach of contract. She vaguely remembered seeing that in her contract, but at the time she had been convinced that nothing will move her to resign within her first year of stay. Now, she wished she had thought matters through.On her way back to the office, she bumped into Myla. The woman hugged her kindly and gently held her face in her hands."What's wrong, Claire?" She asked. "You look so pale."Claire sniffed. "I just received the shock of my life. Now, I don't know anymore."Myla's eyes softened. "Oh, poor baby. It's going to be alright. Just take things easy, and don't give up."Claire scoffed. "Yeah, right. As if I could give up if I wanted to." Myla let her go. "I've got a meeting to attend right now. I'll see you around, girlie.""Bye!" Claire waved.She turned back towards the direction of the office. She began simmering again, so that by the time she reached the office, her anger was bursting. The poor do

CHAPTER 66

Claire felt she was going to run mad. Axel had not even given her time to process the news of the Portuguese visiting, when he hit her with the information that he had bought her a new apartment. But where had he bought it? In the damn penthouse building! Claire shuddered to think how much it had cost. That was another debt she could never repay, in this lifetime or the next.Was he so bent on keeping her working for him? The million dollar breach of contract fee was high enough already. What was this sick game he was playing? She didn't have time to think about it. She needed to work on her Portuguese, at least brush up on the basics before the others arrived.Donald returned within an hour, thankfully."Hey!" She waved him over. "Could you help me?"He proved to be quite the helper, because he predicted so many possible things that could be discussed in the meeting. They spent the next hour polishing her intonation and dialect, until Axel stormed into the office."The clients are he

CHAPTER 67

Paul's expression made Claire think she was in serious trouble. She reached for the file he held up, her hands shaking."No need." Paul took a sheet of paper out of the big brown envelope. "The lab says there is nothing wrong with you." Axel furrowed his brows. "Why did she pass out severally, then?"Paul cocked his head at Claire. "Same thing I would like to ask her."Claire looked from one to the other. "What are you insinuating, Paul? That I faked the passing out? What, did I fake the fever too?"He chuckled. "No one is accusing you of anything, Claire. You're not such a convincing liar."Claire did not know whether to feel relieved or insulted. "So why are the tests saying there is nothing wrong with me?"Paul pulled out another sheet of paper. "Well, you do seem to have a little dehydration, your blood count is a little low, nothing too serious.""Any infection?" Axel asked."Oh Lord, when does it end?" She mumbled under her breath."What was that, young lady?" Axel scolwed at he

CHAPTER 68

Paul took a deep breath. "Axel is terrified of losing you, Claire."Claire snorted. "Sure. That's why he's been acting like a big dickhead all day?"Paul gave her a slightly annoyed look. "You've been swearing since I came in, Claire. Is there something I've done wrong?"She rubbed her face with her hands. "I'm sorry, Paul, it's just… even Lisa has not driven me to wits end like Axel has today. Nothing I do is ever enough."Paul smiled. "I understand. He is a very tasking employer, but you should learn to take it in stride." He tilted his head towards her. "Could it be, my dear, that you have been expecting some kind of preferential treatment simply because you are his self proclaimed woman?"Claire turned crimson. She puffed her cheeks and blew out a breath."I just didn't expect him to be so real, so serious, you know."Paul placed a hand on her shoulder. "If he treats you this way at home, by all means, complain. But out here, you two are strangers, Claire. He's your boss, a CEO, a

CHAPTER 69

Axel did not know what to do about the information he had just received. He knew it was no coincidence that a man who had been found to have a hand in killing him was right outside his door. He kept a very straight face as Leo greeted him."I'm in a conference meeting." He nodded to the seats outside. "Hold on for a few minutes." Leo gave him a beguiling smile. "Certainly, Mr. Lysander. I will wait."Axel shut the door in his face and pulled out his phone. He dialled Donald's number and he picked up immediately."Hey, I'm almost at the office. What's up?""Leo Morris is here." There was an edge to his voice that wasn't there before. Donald hummed. "What's wrong? Surely, you are not so upset by the scumbag's presence to have called me?""Jubril called me a few minutes ago. They found out Leo Morris had a hand in the bombing." He said curtly. "Now the son of a bitch who tried to kill me shows up at my door. What do you expect me to think?"Donald pressed his foot down on the gas pedal

CHAPTER 70

Leo Morris sped out of the office premises and put his phone on the holder by the dashboard. He dialled the last contact he had called before going into the office."Hello?"Leo turned into the road to the airport. "It's done. What's the status?""Strike complete." The person on the other end sounded downright cheerful. "Do you think he would open the box?"Leo drummed on the steering wheel. "He's not an idiot. But the box has served his purpose. Let me know when the girl is confirmed dead.""Certainly. Are you leaving now?"Leo cackled. "Do you think I would get that far?" "So what are you going to do now?"He only laughed more. "Go somewhere no one can find me."**************Claire knew real terror the moment the men broke through the door. Bullets sprayed over the room, penetrating the thin walls of the changing corner they hid. Paul came up firing, and he got down two men. A bullet whizzed past his ear and he hunkered down again. "How many rounds are in this thing?" He yelled t
