CEO JAXON WANTS ME BACK のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

The lights turned green and he kept on driving all the while silent, the remaining parts of the drive home felt like eternity. So many unspoken words in that silence. After hours of driving we arrived at the private mansion, where he packed the car at the usual packing space. "Thanks for the ride." I said, he muttered some words that I didn't hear all the while avoiding my gaze.I turned to grab my bag and head into the main building, when I heard him call out my name, forcing me to halt in my tracks. I turned around to meet his gaze.He took some steps forward, while still giving a reasonable distance and stopped. "The contract. Do you mind?" "Sure..." I said, searching into the purse and pulling out a folded envelope,handing it over to him."I will be coming to check on our Children" He said while looking at the contents. "I certainly hope you don't restrict me from seeing them.”I shook my head aggressively, refusing to let what he had just said affect me. "Aren't you going to a

I observed that Alex had stationed only one guard at the dungeon and I could easily defeat him if it came down to a physical struggle. The day was almost gone and I realized that the guard would be in the dungeon at any minute. I weighed my options, to get out of the dungeon using the key, or wait for the guard to come meet me,but what if he noticed the missing keys before then.Swiftly, I stood up from the chair and dusted off my haggard clothes as they were filled with dust and tiptoed all the way to the entrance of the dungeon. I looked around to know if anyone was watching, but there was no one in sight. I slowly inserted the key into the lock and twisted it open silently to avoid making any noise. My breathing was heavy as I knew that if any mistake occurred and I was caught, there would be serious consequences.Once the lock had been opened, I moved out of the dungeon quietly and saw the guard standing miles away from the dungeon. I was glad he hadn’t heard a no

Jaxon had other plans in mind, rather than going back home immediately, he began to strategize in his mind how he was going to deal with Alex. If I am going to fight this as dirty as Alex is doing, he thought to himself. I'm going to have to go the extra mile and that meant revisiting my inner demons once again.After minutes of driving, I arrived at a shopping complex which had long been deserted and has been put to other use. I made my way down to the back of the shopping complex and stepped inside. There was a lot of music going on, but the moment I stepped in the music stopped and all eyes were on me . Everyone in the room kept staring at me and that was because I hadn't been here in a very long while."Look who's back? The prodigal son himself!" I looked up to see Evans coming down the stairs with a glass of wine in his hands."Nice to see you too, Evans. You have surely added some meat." Jaxon’s comment would leave Snicker of laughter across the room from everyone."

When I arrived at the slated restaurant, it was already minutes late and I hated the fact that the weather was cold. I looked around the whole place and found Lisa seated at a corner, with the menu card in her hands."I was beginning to think that you wouldn't make it Jaxon." Lisa said, the moment I took a seat. "Let's get straight to the point.” I demanded, but Lisa waved her hand making me stop what was about to say. “How about we act like civil humans and order meals and eat....think of it more like a date." Lisa said."I am not here for any of your stupid mind dates. I came here to give you a note of warning. That stunt you came to pull at my house yesterday, shouldn't repeat itself again” I warned. Lisa rolled her eyes and leaned back into the chair, staring at me unfazed by my threats. “My heart is pained each time I realize that the only wrong I probably have done against you was loving you. Can't you see it?" Lisa asked, a hurt accompanying her statement.

I was surprised by how horrified she looked. It was clear that whatever was going on in her mind regarding Lisa, must have brought back terrible memories for her."I just need information regarding her whereabouts. I need to know that she is okay." I lied through my teeth. I noticed the woman looking everywhere and then leaned forward to my side, apparently with the intent to tell him something. "Lisa was a crazy girl. When we discovered an anomaly with her, we had to transfer her to the hospital, where she was given a therapist to stay with." I froze for a second. It was no wonder she acted strange. I thought to myself."Can I know where this therapist lives?" I asked and almost immediately, the woman pulled her phone out and looked through the contact and handed it over to him."That's her number." She revealed and I copied the contact on my phone, thanked the woman and left the building.The moment I got to my car, I noticed my phone ringing and it was Ayla . "H
