CEO JAXON WANTS ME BACK のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

……..My heart stopped. As I thought of all the things I had gone through just to gain my freedom from Alex. Somehow Jaxon had been able to get me out of that unholy arrangement with Alex but this too had come with a price ……if I could endure Alex, Jaxon would be much easier as he and I had history even though I told everyone I had no feelings for him.I was jolted back to reality when I heard the door open and it was Jaxon. He smiled and asked if I was still having the headache and I nodded."You should rest if your headache persists,” and walked out shutting the door gently.It was reassuring to see that he was finally there for me,true but I didn't see Jaxon in the light of someone who I could still trust.Letting out a deep sigh, I rested my head on the pillow and finally dozed off.*** Ayla,can you hear me?I opened my eyes and there he was lying down close to me half naked."W-what are you doing here? Why are you in your boxers? I hope you aren't having thoughts of anything hap

Jaxon's sudden use of the word "love" surprised me. It was the first time he used such an endearment and even though I was pissed at him I kinda felt nice hearing him say it.I will be going for a conference next week…..are you talking to me? I stammered, as I realized that Jaxon had been staring at me the whole time. Jaxon’s mouth formed a slight smile, but a hint of sadness shone in his eyes.Before I could ask what the issue was, a waiter came to take our food orders. I quickly looked at the menu, trying to distract myself from the strong emotions that came over me. Jaxon looked lost in thought as he subconsciously decided on what to eat.As we waited for our meal, I found myself stealing glances at Jaxon . It was impossible to resist the charm he exuded with his strong jaw, intense gaze and mysterious aura. Although the situation that brought us together was difficult, there was a strong bond between us. Jaxon leaned back in his seat, looking me straight in the eye. “I

Jaxon’s grin grew bigger, a combination of amusement and interest twinkling in his eyes. "We'll see if your statement is true very soon” and immediately reverted to a more serious attitude."With that being discussed, let's go back to the rules. You are only to pretend to be my wife when my mother is around. Under no circumstances are you to use the opportunity to make any amorous advances towards me and lastly,you will be sleeping in the study despite being in my room. Understood?”I gazed at him with a blank expression, trying to assimilate all that he had just said."Also, no disregard to my instructions." Do you have any questions?” He finally asked all the while staring at me waiting for a response from me. When I didn't reply he simply stood up and patted my head affectionately like a mother trying to appease her child and this infuriated even more…..Sounds great, my darling husband." Let's have our meal then before mom arrives,I said sarcastically.The journey back to the house

I was crestfallen. Maybe he simply despises me or he was waiting for this whole arrangement to be over before revealing his kind side to me.As we navigated through the crowded streets, time appeared to blend together, making it difficult to track our progress amidst the busy traffic. In spite of being in a hurry, Jaxon's driving abilities were effective, and we made it to the meeting location right on time.As we got out of the car, Jaxon looked at me, his expression much more gentle. "Let's go," he declared, his voice no longer cold like before. "Be sure to create a powerful impact."I gave a nod. Together, we arrived at the meeting location, prepared to confront the hurdles awaiting us.Upon entering the meeting space, a sense of excitement filled the air. The CEO's business partner, a distinguished individual with a keen eye for potential opportunities, welcomed us. For a moment, he looked at me with evident interest before shifting his focus to Jaxon.“Jaxon, you are hardly eve

I observed their eyes locking in a secret interaction. I felt a sinking feeling in my heart as they vanished into the crowd, leaving me alone and confused about what was happening.I felt overwhelmed by confusion and disappointment, which clouded the magical evening I had envisioned. I was lost in the crowd in the ballroom. I resisted the temptation to monitor them, however, my curiosity prevailed. I was dying to confirm my suspicions by seeing it with my own eyes.Feeling a combination of nervousness and resolve, I quietly moved towards the rear of the ballroom, carefully looking around the poorly lit passageways. When I rounded the corner, my heart skipped a beat as I saw Jaxon entering a small, hidden room with the mysterious lady right behind him.Envy and jealousy immediately enveloped me and I was more determined now to know the truth. As I neared the partially closed door, my steps grew lighter. I gently pushed the door open slightly to listen to their conversation and obse
