Chapter 21: Truth

JaxsonTo stay my weekend going smoothly would be a lie. I was more on edge. It made even some of my most loyal men on the street wary of me. I mean it's not without reason. I have a temper. I own it. I own how I feel when I feel it.Well, I guess I can't say that anymore since I have been pushing shit off and refusing to look at it. But even knowing that I still push it rather than own it. Because I feel like opening up a Pandora's box, I am not going to be able to close. The obsession I feel over Esmerelda is strong. Even stronger than when I was obsessed with getting me and my five siblings away from a drug addicted mother and out of a two-bedroom apartment in one of the worst neighborhoods. I gave my blood sweat and tears to get us out of that. I did it through. And it was laid to rest once I got my company up and running, bringing in legal income to show for all the new things I got. And when I hit my first billion, the worry of losing it all left. Now all I can think about is h

Chapter 22: It Normal to hate Mondays Right?

EsmeraldaFuck Mondays.As I slowly opened my eyes, I could already feel the familiar nausea creeping up on me. Another sleepless night had passed, and the morning sickness seemed to have gotten worse. I groaned as I dragged myself out of bed, dreading the day ahead. It was bad enough that I had to go to work, but the thought of facing my boss with my worsening condition made me anxious. I had to keep my pregnancy a secret from everyone, including my boss, and I was determined to keep it that way for as long as I could. Jaxson being the reason I am in the mess. No, nope nada can't go there, I have to think of him only as my boss. But with the increased morning sickness, I was worried that my boss would start to notice something was off.I quickly got dressed and headed out the door, making a mental note to stop by the store for something to ease my nausea before I reached the office. As I got into the car with Tony opening my door smiling at me. I ask "Can we stop at a pharmacy? I nee

Chapter 23: WTF

EsmereldaThe world around me fades into a blur as Jaxson leans down, his face inching closer to mine. We're standing next to my car, the city's hustle and bustle a mere backdrop to this intimate moment. His eyes, intense and full of promise, are locked onto mine, making my mind go blank. I can feel the heat radiating from his body, the anticipation building between us.Despite my rational thoughts, my body leans into him, craving the warmth of his touch, the taste of his lips. In this moment, the busy city street, with its glaring lights and incessant noise, disappears. It's just him and me, in our own little world.But as our lips are about to meet, my thoughts are suddenly interrupted by the sound of a cough. Tony, my driver, stands a few feet away, an apologetic look on his face. The spell is broken, the moment lost. I step back, my cheeks flushing with embarrassment. I know I shouldn't let this happen. He's my boss now, lines should be drawn, boundaries respected. But at that mome

Chapter 24: Not just a driver.

EsmereldaTony has the man by the collar and against the wall before I have enough time to blink, when I see it though I gasp."Ma'am go inside." He tells me through clenched teeth. All softness erased and replaced with hardness. He doesn't even look like my driver anymore."Well shit. Her pussy must be really good to get a driver and a bodyguard." I don't understan- awe I see it now. Now that I am looking closely at this guy who seems to have the biggest balls in the world, I see it. His eyes are glassy and hooded, even in the face of a name twice his size he seems to have no fear. Most addicts would. They have little to no thought outside their own desire and need. I would know there was a reason I latched on to the first person to show me affection."Tony, he doesn't know what he is saying." I walk over to him even though the sudden change scares me. I don't do with violence if I ever get to a shrink, I'm sure there is a name for how it makes me feel, but regardless that I have col

Chapter 23: The best friend

JaxsonI had no intention of leaving my own car. I just wanted to see her safely home and make sure the lock had been fixed. It should. I bought the building and hired a new building maintenance team. When I saw Tony grab the guy I still had no intention of leaving the car. When I saw her get sick, that's when I started to get the ich to get out. But then she seemed fine while she was wiping her mouth. The guy said something and Tony really lost his cool. That alone told me it was bad. But then my gypse crumbled to the ground. Hard. That's when all my intentions went out the window. I rushed to her. When I was by her side I could see the trembling of her body and the sheen of sweat across her. She squeezed her eyes tight and was shaking her head. I kneel down beside her."Esmerelda?" I ask, hoovering my hand around her shoulder, not sure what to do. I watch and tears link out of her eye and something in me breaks. I wrap my arms around her and rock her trying to calm her."She's not h

Chapter 26: Not understanding

The smell of jasmine fills my nose, and I can’t help but wrinkle it. I know its Frankie's perfume. Its not the last thing I remember smelling and for some reason I wanted to fill my nose with it again. The next thing that my body registers is that I am laying on something a bit less harsh than Frankies sofa. I take stock in my body. I feel like I have been hit by a truck. I try to remember how I got here. I know I am home, but the last thing I remember was…It hits me all at once the addict, Tony my driver, no not just a driver the way he moved seemed to be well trained. But he said he has been with the company for ten years, so how did he? I don’t remember much after the beginning. I don’t remember because something happened. I was there on the street then I wasn’t. No, I was back in that house with Billy… but then how did I? How did I get here? I search my mind, then I comes to me the soothing voice, the warmth of his body heat, his rich black currant and cedarwood. Jaxson. But why

Chapter 27: Make her mine

I sat there, in the dimly lit room, the soft glow from the table lamp casting long shadows on the walls. The silence was deafening, broken only by the ticking of the clock and the distant hum of the city outside. While I was waiting, waiting for Esmerelda to wake up, I knew she would confront me about why I was there, outside her house, at the exact moment she had her panic attack. And now she was. I still had no answer.I had been following her, I admit it. Not in a creepy, stalker-ish way, but more out of concern, out of an inexplicable pull towards her. I knew it was wrong, I knew it was dangerous, but I couldn't help myself. There was something about her, something that drew me in, something that made me want to protect her, to be there for her, even if it meant putting myself in danger.As I sat there, my mind raced, trying to come up with a plausible explanation for my presence. I could tell her I was just passing by, that it was a coincidence, but would she believe me? Would sh

Chapter 28: The appointment

My morning was weird. I woke with the smell of Jaxson in my nose. It covered the spot where I lay my head and several times, I woke up unable to breath because my nose was pushed so hard to the back of the sofa just trying to inhale it in my sleep. Even waking up like that it was the best sleep, Ive had in awhile and I didn’t wake up needed to run to the bathroom and get sick. Which is has annoying as it is amazing. Then when I got downstairs Tony was waiting for me, he looked a nervous when he saw me. I greeted him with a smile, yes, I was weirded out that he beat the man but something else inside me that felt safe with him. Even if that was ridiculous, I just knew he wouldn’t hurt me. I reminded him I wasn’t going to work, and he simply told me he knew and he was taking me to my appointment. I had a mild freak out; I was worried he would find out what kind of doctor I was seeing but then I remembered it was at the hospital and there were so many doctors he couldn’t know unless he cam

Chapter 29: Twins?

Esmerelda“Excuse me?” I lean up on my elbows and look at her. Surely, I didn’t hear her correctly. She just gives me that small smile that is starting to get on my damn nerves. She grabs my hand.“I’ll go get the doctor. Why don’t you put the gown on and lay back using the sheet to cover lower half.” She gives it a squeeze. Then drops it leaving the room. Leaving me to try and process that I may not only be pregnant but carrying twins. She could be wrong, right? Maybe it was my heart beat she heard and not another baby. Yeah. That’s it she didn’t hear it right. She’s wrong and she knows it that’s why she said I would need an ultrasound.With that thought, well affirmation might be more like it, I get up and start to strip out of my clothes. I have just laid back when a knock on the door come.“Come in.” I say as loud as I can with my voice being as shacky as it is. It open and an older woman pops her head in seeing that I am all covered, not sure why I would tell her to come in if I

Chapter 30: Not Backfire

Esmerelda The force in which I hit the ground would have had my head bouncing off the cement if not for a large hand cradling it from the blow. Two bad that the same can’t be said about my body. It takes me longer than I would like to admit to figure out what the hell just happened. And I only figure it out when the shots keep ringing out around us has Tony used himself to cover my body. Then the squeal of tired and everything goes silent. Everything stands still other than the rise and fall of mine and Tonys chest. Feeling starts to come back when something warm and wet hits my hand trapped at the sides of my body. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what it is.“Tony… One of us is bleeding. I don’t feel anything, so I don’t think its me.” I say carefully still trying to get a grip on what hell just happened.“Are you okay. Ms. Roth?” He stays through gritted teeth pushing up to look at me. I see the pain in his eyes. I also he is struggling to focus them and its looking really p
