The Billionaires's Destiny 10.
The last day of the honeymoon was spent making dinner with Silas and Jaxon watching them, and he sat by the seaside pressing his phone. They had gone to many places the last few days, the trio seeing new things and going to places she hadn't thought of before. Jaxon had probably seen them, but she hadn't, and she was awed by all the sights.She also wondered if he had been away from Erin the whole week, she knew it wasn't possible. There was the fact that she had seen her at the restaurant and there were also times when she thought she had seen her around them, almost like she was following them, she grimaced.She really didn't want to deal with Erin.She placed the salad from the tray in a plate, and carried it down to the table she had set in the sand. It was Silas idea to have a dinner by the seaside with the breeze blowing on them and the sun setting it rays on them.It was beautiful she had to admit…the idea, and she assisted him in it, but Jaxon as usual was against it. He sat o

"Haven't I told you to try wearing a shirt to work ?” Silas nagged that morning, frowning at Jaxon as they went to work in Jaxon's car. They had on the same pair of suits as Jaxon except he wasn't wearing a shirt underneath and Silas wearing a shirt as he adjusted it."I just didn't want to wear a shirt,” Jaxon knitted his brows at Silas."You didn't want to wear a shirt…well, your employees want to avoid working, but there's nothing they can do about it, same goes for you, you're the CEO for God's sake,”"Okay, okay, I'll change, just stop nagging at me already,”Silas rolled his eyes.“What's my schedule like today?”He brought out the tab where he stored Jaxon's activities for the day and started listing them out, "You have a meeting with the tech department by 10, another one with the finance department by 2, and you have to review the contract between the company and Mr. Garcia's, Alva's father, he awaits your reply,” Silas informed him."Oh, I'll do that once I settle down,”"Ok

Alva, on the other hand, sat at the dining table feeling lonely and alone. She had a box of chocolate beside her which she ate one after the other, and she sighed. She wondered why Jaxon hadn't come back home yet, could he be stuck in traffic, could he be working late?Likewise, she considered calling Silas but changed her mind, why was she concerned about him, he could stay out for all she cared.Her heart said differently, but she ignored it, standing up to pack the food she had prepared for him and placing it in the fridge. She would warm it for him when he came around, and he could warm it too, whatever.She walked up to her room, picked up the box of chocolate on the table, and she entered the room which was just as white and empty as when she had first arrived. She lay on the bed. It was soft and warm, different from the cold feeling the room gave off. She picked up her phone to call Jessie, and the line rang three times before she picked up.“Hello, Jessie,”“What's up babe, wh

Alva wondered what she was supposed to wear to her first meeting with her father-in-law. She had no idea, as she had never been in such a scenario before.She wondered if she should look casual, corporate, or normal, or… She just didn't know. Then there was the hair and the jewelry to wear and the makeup to do.She sighed in frustration and lay down on her bed.There was one person she could call though at that moment, and she hoped that person was free. She picked up her phone to call Jessie,“Hey Alva, what's up?”“I have an emergency crisis right now,”She could see her friend sitting up and getting alert at that sentence, “What is it, tell me, is that bastard treating wrong?”She sighed, “No, I just don't know what to wear…”“Uhn?”“I have a dinner meeting with Jaxon's dad and I absolutely have no idea what to wear or how to look, what should I do?”“I'm coming over right now, wait for me,”“Okay,”She cut the call and stayed on the bed, hoping Jessie would arrive there on time, a

Jaxon looked at the woman who was beside him, her eyes wide open and her mouth slightly apart, and he smiled, “Is it that delicious?”She blinked, “U-uh?”“The food is that delicious, you have sauce all over your mouth,”“Uh huh,”She tried to wipe off her mouth again looking sideways for a minute, but he stopped her, placing his hand on her cheek and wiping the sauce off for her, “You are so cute,”She choked on her food staring wide-eyed at him while he gave her one of his charming smiles, “U-uh?”What the hell is wrong with him?“Just eat gently, okay,”He patted her hair and went back to his food.“Aww…look at you both acting all lovey-dovey, you make me miss my wife,” His father beamed at them, but all the while Alva knew that Jaxon was only putting on an act.Jaxon smirked. He knew what he was doing, and he was glad that it was working.He wanted his father to believe he was giving her a chance to enter his heart, when all he wanted was to divorce her and marry the woman after h

A few weeks passed after that, and Alva tried not to think about what had happened in Jaxon's family house that day. She kept thinking about it though and couldn't help wondering why she had the flash.She hadn't had it since she visited her therapist last in Texas ten years ago, and then she had just been a young girl trying to figure out what had happened to her one night. Her family had been with her and each session had just produced this particular flash, making her conclude that she could never get that part of her memory again.So, why was it coming back now and in a more detailed form?Could it be that the memory was trying to come to the surface now that she was older, or could it have been triggered by the picture?She attempted to think but couldn't figure it out, she sighed.“Hey!”She was startled awake from her thoughts and looked at Jessie who was beside her decorating a cake, “What?”“Stop sighing for god's sake, I'm trying to put this particular decoration on the cake

Alva served the food she had prepared for Jaxon that evening, a luxurious meal of rice and chicken veggie stir-fry, and she sat down opposite him nervous. She had a cup of chocolate in her hand with lots of milk inside, and she placed it on the table, strangling her fingers around it.“You have something to tell me?”She looked up startled, “Uhm?”“You've been acting all edgy and nervous around me, I think you might be hiding something and with the way, you're wrapping your fingers around that cup, I think it might break soon,”She looked down at the said hands and removed them from the cup immediately. She hadn't known she was being so obvious about how nervous she was.Furthermore, she cleared her throat, “I do have a favor to ask you,”He stopped in the food he was eating, “You have a favor to ask me?”“Yes,”“What is it?” He continued eating.“I need you to uhm… lend me some money, I want to start up a career of mine and I need cash,”He scoffed, “You need cash, why not ask your f

She looked around the room again, surprised at how they had ended up in his house. She remembered entering the car with him but nothing else after that, “Why are we in your house?”“Because you begged me not to take you to his villa and I couldn't get her address out of her,” he pointed to Jessie.“Oh, I must have been drunk,” She grimaced.“You both should come to the kitchen, I made some hangover soup and breakfast,”“Oh my God, you're such a lifesaver!” Jessie exclaimed after him and went out the door.“Uhm…” Silas started beside her.“Uh?”“You might have to change your outfit, it reeks of vomit”,She sniffed her cloth and nearly gagged, “Oh my God, what happened?”He gave her this look that said really, and she blushed, “oh I must have done that to myself, well, is there anywhere I can take care of myself”,He pointed to the bathroom, “There, put your clothes in the laundry and take a shower, I'll give you a cloth to change into,”She nodded shyly and went into the bathroom, hitti
