CHAPTER 117 FINALLY, the day for the stakeholders' meeting came. Hearts pounded, the tension rose, arrangements were being made and even calls for celebration.That morning, Jaxton got dressed as soon as he could into his White suit worth over ten thousand dollars. He had to present himself well to the stakeholders as the next CEO of the company in place of his father. He was so sure that his brother Paxton was unaware of whatever was around and he was going to take him unaware. A dark smile hovered on his face as he thought about taking over the company. "I can't even imagine the look on his face with it would be announced to him," he thought in his head as a dark laughter escaped from his mouth."And once I get this position, I will be able to get Sydney back," he said to himself"I can't wait to see that look on his face when Paxton would be eventually dismissed as the CEO.When he got to the venue for the event, most of the stakeholders were already seated. A smile hovered on
CHAPTER 118Chapter 118Jaxton stared into his eyes with a racing heart, still contemplating if what he was going to say would get him angry or not. Then he asked him the question first. "His anything the matter?" Paxton inquired noticing that Jaxton was a little bit unsettled. Seeing this as the perfect opportunity, Jaxton dropped down to the ground and picked up the photo of Sydney on the floor."It's about her," Jaxton returned showing the photo to him but immediately he saw her photo, his eyes shit back into their sockets in sudden grief and he shook his head side by side. "No, I don't want to talk about her. Not now, not ever," Paxton returned. Jaxton's heart sank with disappointment but he wasn't just going to give up like that, he was going to press until he agreed. "But," he tried to say but Paxton would not listen to a single word that he had to say. "No buts," he returned. "I only told you that I don't want to talk about her," he ended. But as Paxton already knew, Jaxto
Chapter 119 With every single step that he took, his heart raced ten times faster and he was gasping for breath like someone that just finished a race. *Signs*After much inquiry, Paxton discovered that Sydney was now working as a waitress in one of the restaurants. "What should I do now," he said to him in his car, hitting his hands on the story. "Go to her house or her workplace," he thought again. But then, a thought crossed his mind that answered all his questions. "Would you want a public embarrassment?" A voice rang in his head. Paxton thought about his for some time and decided that it would be preferable to go to her house. He could feel his heart beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through as he drove his car to her house. When he got there, the door was bolted just as he had expected. "I will just have to wait for her here," he said to himself as another long line of laughter escaped from his mouth.Meanwhile, Sydney was just returning from w
Chapter 120Sydney was so lost staring into his eyes with shock and Confusion that she didn't realize when he got so close to her that she could even feel his breath and listen to his heart beating hard against his chest. Sydney pulled her face away from him immediately. "No, this is too good to be true," she whispered to herself. He thought that he had some hidden agenda that he was trying to hide from her and trap her into it before she was going to realize it. "He thinks I am such a dumbass," she thought in her head. "I will have to run away immediately before he begins to unveil his true reason for coming here," she said to herself. She got set immediately. She calculated when she was going to run away from him in her head. "On a one, two three, go.." she finalized and tried to run but he caught her in the air. She tried hard to break free from her strong grip but he held her so tightly that her skin cells could hardly breathe.She stared into his eyes and he stared back into
Sydney POVThey say that the calmest waters birth the most tretarous storms. We live life blindly and never seem to realize when our worlds will be flipped on their axis and everything changes.But like every good fantasy, it started with passion. I had passion for dancing but not in the manner I was doing it. I didn’t like being touched when dancing, it was something I detested.The music washed through me as I kept swinging my body to the beat of it. I ran my hand over my sides feeling every dip and curve as I allowed myself to get lost in the rhythm.I chose one of the friendly faces in the audience and locked my eyes with him. I did it every night to have someone to focus my attention on. He was a fine specimen, I could see from the dimmed light that he had brown hair with green eyes, and with the intensity of his gaze I had to admit I felt a warmth come over my body. He was looking at me like he couldn’t keep his eyes off me.“Look here, pretty lady,” I heard Jim, a regular v
Sydney POV“I need to go,” He said still trying to get hold of himself.I couldn’t allow him to go anywhere without my help, he might be all macho about not needing help but from the look of it, I had to take him to where he was going.It was 2 am, and if anything were to happen to him, it would be her fault because she kept on asking him questions that he would be comfortable answering.“I am so sorry I allowed this go too far,” I told him I might have had a lot of fun playing the game but I didn’t think of the repercussions.“I would take you anywhere you would be willing to go,” I told him.He looked at me and started laughing, which only worried me more as I stared at his unfocused eyes.“Then take me to my hotel room, That's where I want to be now,” He said and allowed himself to relax on my arms“My GPS will give you the directions to the hotel,” He said and relaxed in the car.I had never been in this type of car before but I could drive because my father made sure that I lear
Sydney POVEven though I was a bit tired and I knew He should head to bed, I went out on the balcony anyhow, because when was I going to ever do this again? I didn’t have the opportunity to always be in places like this.The balcony had marble tile, and elegantly maintained potted plants dotted along the railing, interspersed with heavy wooden furniture. The city looked vast from here, and she stared at the view in awe. “This is beautiful .”“Isn’t it?” He smiled out at the buildings, his brown hair ruffling in the night breeze. He moved to stand beside me, his presence warm. “I have to admit I asked for this room simply because of the balcony.”“I don’t blame you. This place looks big enough for a party.”“Kind of sad that it’s just me in the room .” His tone was melancholy, and her heart twinged again.I lifted the tiny bottle of Patron back to my lips and drained the entire thing in one fell swoop, my head began to buzz.He gazed out at the night sky for a moment before turning ba
Sydney POVI shook my head and patted the front of his Jacket. “Hey,” she said softly. “You’re drunk, That’s why you’re propositioning me—”I didn’t know what else to tell him, that was the only thing I could say to him, he had to be very drunk to be attracted to me sexually.“It’s true,” He said. His arm—strong and firm—went to my waist and he pulled me against him, close enough that my breasts pushed up against his chest.“I wanted you and I told you from the beginning but you didn’t want me, I had to ease into it”I gasped, surprised at the feel of his mouth against mine, I . . hadn’t expected that. And yet, I was filled with the desire for more. The kiss had been way too brief.His thumb grazed my lower lip, his gaze on my face. “I want you so much I can hardly stand it. It’s not just because you happen to be here and I’m horny. It’s because it’s you here, you are the one pressed up against my chest, and you make my dick hard every time you smile, Will you stay the night with me?”
