Chapter 30:

Jaxon Wolff

I woke up with a headache, it felt like something was pounding like a drum against my skull, my brain sluggish, trying to piece together the hazy fragments of the night before. I noticed someone standing at my door stand, I strained my eyes and it was Leilani, her hand on the handle as though she were about to leave.

My heart lurched, and for a moment, it felt like I was dreaming, what was she doing here and how did she get into my room, it felt like I wasn’t fully awake and I must be dreaming about this.

“Leilani,” I croaked, my voice hoarse from sleep and the alcohol still lingering in my system. I winced at the sound of it.

She froze, her hand still gripping the door handle as she turned slowly, a surprised look on her face, as though she hadn’t expected me to wake up just yet.

I finally remembered everything that happened last night and I couldn’t believe that I had put myself through all that, I had let my shield down and now Leilani had seen how

    Chapter 44: I am all yours. Leilani Moore“Answer me!”Jaxon demanded and I couldn’t look him in the eyes, I was so out of it that I had said what I wasn’t supposed to say. I felt my pulse quicken as Jaxon's hand held mine firmly, his grip a mix of concern and insistence. His eyes searched mine, trying to understand what was going on. I felt so open to his eyes, I felt naked and I wanted to move away from him, from the world, from everything. He asked again, his voice barely above a whisper as his gaze locked with mine, "Are you angry, Leilani?"I yanked my hand away, the feeling of his fingers slipping from mine sending a strange pang through my chest. Why did it hurt so much to let go?"I'm not angry," I snapped, forcing the words out as I turned my back on him, I was going to the bathroom, but just needed a moment to breathe, to steady myself before I said something I would regret.But before I could even take two steps, his hand shot out, grabbing my wrist, pulling me back toward

    Chapter 43: Are You Jealous? Jaxon Wolff I sat on the edge of the bed, the soft vibration of my phone on the nightstand pulling me out of my restless thoughts. It was a message from Natalie, her name flashing on the screen. The message was simple, "Jaxon, I want to talk about yesterday. I feel awful about everything, and I just need to get it off my chest."Normally, I would have ignored it. It wasn't that I didn't care about Natalie. Because, honestly, I did. She had been a friend for years, and it wasn't easy for me to dismiss her feelings. But I knew that the situation between her and me was complicated, and I wasn't sure I was ready for any more emotional turmoil, I wanted to make it clear so that she would know that I have someone else at heart. This was a chance to keep things from getting awkward between us, I had to meet her. I let out a heavy sigh and texted back, “Okay. I will come over."I left the hotel an hour later, I was inside the car and I couldn’t help it as my mi

    Chapter 42: Savior Of The Day Leilani MooreI was beyond furious. Furious with myself, furious with Jaxon, and furious with the entire world. Everything was spinning in my mind, crashing down like waves against jagged rocks, threatening to pull me under the bus. I couldn't stand being cooped up in the hotel anymore, not after what had happened earlier. I was still angry over the call I had with Derek and at the same time, I couldn’t stop myself from thinking about Jaxon and Natalie no matter how I tried not to, my mind still going back there and it was unhealthy for me. I needed to get out of this building and receive some air, maybe with that I would stop thinking about him. Without thinking, I threw on some clothes and stormed out of the hotel, I grabbed a cab without hesitation, “where are you going?” The driver asked “Uhm… take me to any fancy restaurant, anywhere that would distract me for a while,” I had no place in mind, I knew nothing about Paris so I couldn’t choose a loca

    Chapter 41: We Are DoneLeilani MooreI woke up to the sound of Jaxon's phone ringing. The loud sound of the phone had cut through my phone, pulling me out of the depths of sleep. I glanced at the bedside table, where his phone lay face up, flashing brightly. The name on the screen stood out and it was Natalie. I felt a jolt in my stomach, that familiar feeling of jealousy whenever I heard or saw her name riding within me. I swallowed hard, refusing to acknowledge it, trying to remind myself that I had no right to feel any kind of way regarding their relationship. I stared at the phone for a moment longer, watching as the call rang through, before I turned my gaze to the window, trying to push back the intrusive thoughts.The phone had stopped ringing at some point, and I heard Jaxon stir beside me. He groggily reached for it, mumbling something under his breath. I didn't move. I didn't want to be caught in the middle of whatever conversation was about to take place between them. So,

    Chapter 40: Better not come any closer Leilani MooreI paced back and forth in the hotel room, my bare feet making quiet taps against the plush carpet. My mind was racing, too many thoughts tangled together in a chaotic mess. I checked the clock again. 9:14 PM. Jaxon had left this afternoon. around 2 PM, to have lunch with Natalie and it was almost nine now. Almost seven hours had passed. The longer I waited, the more my thoughts began to go uncontrollable. Why hadn’t he come back yet? Where was he?My fingers hovered over my phone, itching to call him. But I stopped myself each time. I didn’t want to seem clingy or overbearing. That’s what I kept telling myself. He was just having lunch, right? It’s not like I had any right to get upset. I wasn’t his girlfriend, I wasn’t anything to him, really.But then why did the feeling of betrayal stir inside me? I couldn’t deny that my patience was running thin. Natalie. That name kept ringing in my head like an annoying echo. She was so… char

    Chapter 39: Unexpected Jaxon Wolff I hadn't seen Natalie in two years, not since that gala in New York. I still remembered the elegance in the way she moved, the way she captivated every room she walked into, with her warm smile and infectious charisma. Natalie wasn't just beautiful, she had this aura around her, an energy that made you want to know her better. But life had its own plans, and I had lost track of her after the gala. "I can't believe it's really you," I said, stepping back to look at her properly. She hadn't changed at all, still the same, with her signature style and that effortless charm. She chuckled and widened up her hands, I gently pulled her into a shirt hug. "I could say the same," she replied, laughing lightly as she pulled away "How have you been?" "Good, busy," I said, shrugging. "Same old, same old." "You look great," she added with a smile. "I almost didn't recognize you." "You too," I said, my gaze lingering on her for a moment longer than necessar
