Chapter 8

Ch. 8 / 32 May 04, 2026

*Ana's pnt. Of view*

The three months went by in a blur, with the help of Stewart and Sonya.

Since the day I rejected him in my room, Jaxon has kept his distance, he doesn't try anything, nor does he invade my personal space. He no longer teased me, and I was no longer his main target, even if we were stuck in his office for hours.

Today was my day before last, and I was so happy to be leaving the mansion. Don't get me wrong Stewart and Sonya are the best, but I would always be happier at home. Given that it was a Saturday, we weren't in the office, in fact Stewart and I were busy screwing around in the kitchen.

By baking and making a mess.

"Oh my God Stewart let me down!" I giggled as he lifted me up.

"Apologize." He simply stated.

"No." I laughed as kicked my legs,

"Okay. Then I could do this all day." He spun me around, earning another burst of giggles from me.

I splashed some flour on his forehead, and he picked me up, not letting me down.

"Having fun?" Came a deadly quiet voice from the kitchen's doorstep.

One look from Jaxon and Stewart placed me down to the ground.

"My office. Now." He simply demanded, his eyes glued on me, and my feet were quick to obey.

As I made my way there, I overheard Stewart said "Jaxon dude don't overreact, we were just having a little fun."

"One more word out of you, and I'll show exactly why I'm the one in charge." I heard Jaxon threatened, then he departed.

The second we were closed in the office, Jaxon spun around, and grabbed my hair as he forced my head back, my eyes locked with his, and his lips were inches from mine.

“You like screwing other people in my house? Huh? You like being a slut around my men?" He questioned darkly, and my heart sped up.

"N- no. I- I'm sorry." I stated, afraid for my life.

"You will be sorry if I find you with him again." He threatened, his lips ghosting my lips.

"Why do you always do that? Tease me? Why don't you just kiss me?" I asked softly, wanting so bad to have a taste.

I was seriously messed up, he was pulling my hair, and I was worried about kissing him.

"You're not my type." He reminded me, and that just crushed my heart.

I suddenly shoved him from me then slapped him, "how dare you? If I'm not your type then why the hell does it bother you if I flirt with Stewart or not?! Huh?!" I said shoving him once more.

His eyes were scary and dark as he said, "Oh I don't mind you flirting with Stewart, as long as you don't do it in my house."

"Oh okay I see. Well good thing tomorrow is my last day, so then I will leave this hell hole, and me and Stewart will do whatever we want! And you can't say anything about it!" I yelled, then I shoved past him, and walked out, slamming the door behind me.

I ended up not seeing Stewart for the rest of the day.

The next day I woke up in a happy mood. I packed my things with a smile on my face, and when a knock came from the door, I skipped towards it in glee, knowing that I have paid my debt, and I would leave this mansion and Jaxon behind forever.

I opened the door and my smile automatically disappeared, there standing in front of me was Stewart, looking mean as ever.

"Is- is everything okay?" I asked cautiously, feeling the coldness from him

"Boss wants to see you in the office. Now." Spoke Stewart, his voice void of any emotion, it was actually kind of scary.

"Stewart, are you okay? Did I do something wrong?" I asked, as I placed my hand on his shoulder, which he quickly shrugged off.

Retracting my hand back to my chest, I took a step back, and sighed sadly. I silently closed the door behind me, and followed Stewart, my heart beating in my throat. When I arrived, Stewart opened the door, and let me in, then he closed me in with the cold-eyed devil.

"Have a seat." Is how he greeted me.

I walked over to his desk carefully and sunk myself down onto the seat. The way he was glaring at me made me feel like a child about to be scolded.

"So the three months are up, and your debt has been paid. I am happy to inform you that you are free to go, and you and I never have to cross paths again." He stated, as he leaned back into his chair.

"Okay... Thank you." I said, then readied myself to leave.

"Unless..." He added, making me stop in my tracks, "you want to stay and be my secretary, you have been a tremendous help as well as an efficient worker, and you can go and come as you please. You don't even have to sleep here." Said Jaxon with a smile.

Was he serious?

I found myself bursting in laughter at his offer, "Y-ou s-se- serious?" I asked, then I doubled over in laughter, my eyes beginning to water, as my sides began to ache.

"I'm sorry Jaxon, but I would rather chop my arm off and feed it to myself before I decide to work for you ever again. Thanks for the offer but no thanks." I stated, as I stood up.

His eyes went hard for a second, then he smiled, he smiled so dashingly, that I felt myself became nervous from the way he was smiling.

"I was hoping you'd say that. See now you don't have a choice. You're no longer my employee, but now, you're my prisoner, and you're not going anywhere." He declared, as he stood up.

"Is this a joke?" I found myself asking.

"No." He said without a hint of amusement.

"You don't actually expect me to stay with you, do you?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh yes I do. If not, Stewart dies." He simply explained.

"You can't be serious." I found myself saying, my mouth going dry.

"Bring him in." He yelled, and in barged the bald eagle, with Stewart.

He forced Stewart to his knees and planted a gun behind his head.

"Either you decide to stay with me, or I kill him here and now. Then I kill you." Declared Jaxon with a deadly glare.

"Jaxon enough. This is not funny." I said, suddenly feeling enveloped by fear.

"I never said this was a comedy. Agree to stay with me, or I'll bury two bodies tonight." He announced, and I broke down at his words.

*Third person's pnt. Of view*

"I don't understand... Jaxon, I paid off the money that I owed, what more do you want from me?" Said Analeina as she stared in disbelief at the unfolding events.

"You're right, you did, but money is no longer what I want. I want YOU! And I ALWAYS get what I WANT!" Sneered Jaxon as he stared down the shy beauty in front of him. Her fear, her tears, and her uncertainty aroused the beast within him, and that beast was going to get that beauty, no matter the cost.
