All Chapters of Twins of Deception: Love in Shadows: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

JaxsonAs the CEO of the Cancade, I was always on the lookout for new and diverse talent for my team. So when Ms. Marcy brought across a resume with the name Esmerelda on it, I couldn't help but feel intrigued. I had never heard that name before in the city and wondered how many other people shared it. Despite knowing that most of the resume may have been exaggerated, with Esmerelda having told me she was a stay-at-home wife, I decided I had to know if it was the same one haunting my dreams and waking mine, so I told Marcy to call her in for an interview.That was a week ago and now I was sitting in the room connected to where the interview would take place, I instructed Marcy on what questions to ask, wanting to get a better understanding of Esmerelda's skills and qualifications. I wanted to hear her answers and gauge her potential for the job. Even though I already knew if it was my Esmeralda, I was going to hire her regardless.I watched as she walked into the interview room, and I

JaxsonTony is one of my men, and he has proven himself to be one of my best. That is why, despite his role as a driver, I have also entrusted him with the task of monitoring Esmerelda. It was a gut feeling, one that I couldn't quite explain, but I knew that I had to keep an eye on her. The thought of her walking out in the pouring rain, alone and vulnerable, did not sit well with me. So, I had Tony pick her up and take her home. And now, he will be her personal driver.But, as I sit here contemplating the situation, I can't help but wonder if this is really a good idea. Does it provide me with the opportunity to gather information on Esmerelda? Yes, yes it does. I can't help but feel a twinge of guilt. Is this really a good idea? I have no clue. There is just something about her. But this might be too much. I have never taken an interest in a woman like this before. I knew from the first night I shouldn't, but I did. I thought about her far more than I would ever admit. She was wo

EsmereldaTGIF. I never really understood why people believed so heavily in it. Now I do. The week had been crazy, with hardly any time to catch a breath. What I had anticipated to be a one-off event on the first day turned out to be the norm for the rest of the week. I had been running around non-stop, preparing for meetings and then setting up the conference room for them. Mr. Cancade, my new boss, had a habit of recording most of the meetings, but I never heard him speak. Little did I know, all those recordings would turn into a mountain of work for me. I spent most of my days dictating Mr. Cancade's meeting notes and then sending them back to him. And just when I thought I was done, I would have to turn around and produce an email regarding any notes he made on my notes. It was a never-ending cycle, and I couldn't keep up. I wasn't the fastest typer, but I had a good memory, so I never needed to pause the recordings to catch up. But as the days went by, I found myself getting more

EsmeraldaWhen the door shut I went to the bathroom. I was in shock as I did my business, baby on the bladder is no joke. I had to run. Once I was washing my hands I looked up at myself in the mirror and went through what just happened. I just found out Jaxson, the man who is unknowingly the father of the baby in my stomach. I roll through each emotion letting myself feel them. I need to otherwise it won't end well. First one is the fact that I need this job. I need the money. I can't have this baby still sleeping in Frankie loft. Using the shower for my needs. She says no rush. But her apartment is not big enough for two women and everything a baby will need. I sat and figured out a basic budget to help her while also saving. It would take three months of working to get my own place that would work. One week would not be a huge help to me, only her. I know she said she doesn't need it but I can't not give her something taking care of all my needs these past few months.Then I have to

Esmerelda I do not share my supposed best friend Frankie's feelings about the situation with Jaxson being my boss. While I was pissed he hid that fact from me. I was also terrified he would find out about the baby. She thought it was the funniest thing in the world. She died laughing, literally sliding off the sofa and rolling on the floor at my expense before stopping and wiping her eyes to talk to me seriously.I glared at her, feeling my face grow hot with embarrassment. "It's not funny, Frankie. My job is on the line here. I can't afford to lose it, especially now." She took a moment to catch her breath, her eyes still sparkling with amusement."I know, I know. But come on, the look on your face when you realized Jaxson was your boss! It had to be priceless." I huffed in annoyance, crossing my arms defensively."Well, it's not something I ever expected to deal with. And now I have to figure out how to navigate this mess." Frankie sat up, her expression turning thoughtful."True, i
