Chapter Eight: The Owner.
THIS is insane! How could Sylvester Braxon be his godfather?!
That's what everyone was thinking right now after hearing Paxton’s revelation. They couldn't believe it! While Morgan was stunned, he was still processing all of what he heard. He realized the reason why he closed a $100 million deal with Golden Realty Company! It was all because Golden Realty is under Braxon Empire!
“You’ve got to be kidding us, how will you prove that Sylvester Braxon was your godfather?” Levi asked, in an insulting tone. “How could a poor man like you have a connection with a rich billionaire like him?”
Paxton shrugged and then he smiled. “How did you all suspect that I am poor?” he asked. “Was that because I am not wearing expensive clothes? Or was it because I lined up through those filthy men who want to marry Lorelei for their own good?”
Lorelei was surprised by how her husband fought back against her brother. She thought that Paxton doesn’t have the courage to fight for himself whenever someone insults him. Seeing him in a proud tone, it seemed that what she was thinking was right. Paxton has secrets that he hasn’t told her yet.
“See? I told you!” Brittany exclaimed. “A limited edition car worth $8.8 million isn’t just a rented car!”
Darius gritted his teeth and then clenched his fists. “So who are you anyway? Are you a rich guy hiding in those trashy clothes?” he laughed, mockingly.
“As I said, I am a dermatologist,” Paxton replied calmly.
“Which hospital are you working at, then?” Levi added.
“At Golden’s Medical Center.”
Everyone knew that Golden’s Medical Center is one of the most prestigious hospitals in the country with over ten branches. But that doesn’t mean that he’s wealthy just because he was working at a prestigious hospital. Darius laughed hard, he couldn’t help but do his best to humiliate Paxton more. He’s starting to feel insulted, he won’t step back! He has to prove that he’s more capable and powerful!
“You’re being so full of yourself just because you’re a mere dermatologist in a prestigious hospital. You’ve got to be kidding me!” He continued laughing.
Paxton smiled politely. “I am the owner of Golden’s Medical Center.”
Silence permeated the meeting room. Even Darius’ insulting laugh subsided. Looking through Paxton’s expression, it seemed like he wasn’t bluffing!
“How? Don’t fool us!” Levi yelled. “You’ll end up regretting every lie that you are telling us! So don’t lie!”
But Paxton smirked and propped his arms on the table. “I am Paxton Braxon. You can search for it on the web. I know you’re not all dumb, you know how to use the internet, right?”
No one moved at what he said. Only Brittany quickly took out her iPad and browse the web. After searching, she gasped in surprise to see Paxton Braxon as the owner of Golden’s Medical Center then she showed her iPad to them.
“He was the owner!” she squirmed.
Darius snatched the iPad and browse the net. He gripped the iPad and then stood up. Blood rushed through his face as it fueled him knowing that he’s losing this argument.
“I don’t care if you’re an owner of this hospital! You’re just a tiny business owner to me. You haven’t reached my level!” he yelled.
They all screamed in horror when Darius forcefully throw the iPad on the ground and stepped on it. Smashing the iPad into pieces. Brittany who was beside him was shocked, she couldn’t move!
“That's mine!” Brittany said with teary eyes.
He looked up to them with his raging eyes then pointed to Morgan with his finger. “If you don’t persuade your daughter to divorce this fucking bastard, I’ll withdraw all of the investments that I invested in your lowly company! I will also pull out our future projects! Don’t provoke me!”
After saying those words, he stormed out of the meeting room, leaving them behind. The old Lord of the Marshall family stood up, worriedly. He feels like everything that he worked hard on fell apart!
“Lord Darius! Wait, you can’t do this to us!” Morgan shouted. He was about to run to the door but then the next thing they knew, he clenched his chest and started to have difficulty in his breathing.
He tried to gasp for air but his chest tightened more, his knees wobble and his body weakened.
“Dad? Dad!” Levi stood up from his seat and immediately run toward their father.
Everyone was shocked at what happened, Morgan fell to the ground! If Levi didn’t catch him on time, he probably hit his head!
Paxton stood up and then took out his phone from the pocket of his coat. He quickly called 911 emergency.
“Dad!” Levi yelled and then looked up to Paxton. “This is all your fault! If you didn’t provoke Darius, if you just agree to divorce my sister then this won’t happen!”
He ignored Levi’s anger. To provoke Darius was his plan anyway. He wants to see how high Darius’s ego and it seemed like it was higher than he expected. He knows that it wasn’t Lorelei that he want right now, it was his pride that Paxton insulted. If it weren’t because of his ego, then it won’t go this far.
“Who are you calling?! Call 911, you bastard!” Levi shouted.
Sharon was now getting panicked as well as Brittany and Lorelei. While Paxton walked towards Morgan and sat down in front of him, telling them to step back.
“What are you going to do to my father?!”
Paxton was the only one that didn’t panic inside the meeting room. He checked Morgan’s nose if he was still breathing and when he felt nothing, he put both his hands on Morgan’s chest to perform CPR.
“He’ll be fine, don’t worry. All you have to do right now was to get ready. The ambulance will be here soon,” he replied.
Although they were all mad at Paxton, they couldn’t help but let him save their father. Because if not, no one can save Morgan Marshall.Chapter Nine: Curious. A WEEK has passed and Morgan Marshall is now fine after he was confined for a week due to some complications and also to monitor his heart. “If it’s not because of Paxton, your father might be dead by now,” Sharon said. They were busy packing Morgan’s bag, now that they were going home. He will be discharged this morning. “I still don't trust him,” Levi replied. “Well, you’re right. We shouldn't trust him right away. One thing that's bothering me is the fact that he married Lorelei when he didn't need money. You know how ugly she was when she had the scars on her face.” Levi shrugged. “Just don't fall for his trap. I’ll pay the bill.” He pretended to not care at all when in fact, he has a bad feeling towards Paxton. It seemed like he has seen him before, and it bothered him. He was too familiar but he just couldn’t figure out where he have seen him. After talking to his mother, Levi went out of the hospital room to go to the front desk to ask for their bi
Chapter Ten: First Step. WEARING white scrubs, Paxton was sitting in a swivel chair inside his clinic. He’s in the hospital and busy writing the prescription for his patient. “Here’s what you should take for your skin allergy. Don’t forget to wash the affected area before putting in an ointment. The antihistamine should be taken once a day,” he said. “Thank you, Doc!” As soon as the patient stood and walked out of the clinic, Oliver, Paxton’s assistant walked inside with a folder in his hand. “Good afternoon, My Lord! Here’s the information that you’re asking for.” Oliver propped the folder on his desk. “Thank you! Have a seat,” he replied. He quickly opened the envelope and took out the files inside. He quickly saw Darius Lavigne’s profile before he looked up at Oliver. “What did you find out?” he asked. Then scanned the profile that he was holding. All the details regarding Darius are in the file… “Mr. Sylvester was right, he proposed to Grace Cartier, your cousin before the
Chapter Eleven: Expensive Suit.PAXTON was sitting on the balcony while browsing through his iPad. He’s studying all of Darius’ assets, investments and everything about his source of income. But then, it is still questionable. How could Darius gain billions when he only has Lavigne’s Realty Company, a small company offering internet providers, and investments? He was so sure that Darius had an underground business… Tomorrow, Amiel will apply as an IT technician in their IT department. He quickly switched the screen to a funny video on social media after the door through the bathroom opened. “What are you doing? You’re still working at night?” Lorelei asked.He shrugged then smiled at her. “No, I wasn't. Just watching funny videos on my iPad.”Lorelei didn't doubt his reason, she walked on the balcony and glanced at his iPad before she sat down in the Acapulco chair in front of him. “I have been thinking these days,” Lorelei said. “Hmm, what is it?”Paxton grabbed the glass of whis
Chapter Twelve: The Other Way Around.DARIUS was stunned. No one has ever talked to him the way Paxton did! And it irritated him! He clenches both his jaw and hands into fists. Gritting his teeth, the moment Paxton sat down on his swivel chair, he glared at him.“I bet you can’t pay $800k just for a suit when you can't even afford to buy for yourself!” he yelled.“I’ll pay. But on one condition, you must take off your suit and throw it into the garbage right now.”His eyes widened. “What the—are you saying that you want me to go home naked?!”Paxton shrugged. “That’s your choice. Go home naked or you can wear my trashy suits. You can choose one in the cabinet.”“Are you insane?!” Darius couldn’t help but feel mad at him even more.But even though he was fuming mad, Paxton remained a straight face. Darius came here to find something that he can use to humiliate Paxton but it seemed like it came out the other way around. He was the one that was humiliated by Paxton!“What are you waitin
Chapter Thirteen: Theodore Myers.“OH? Did you know each other?” Red asked in a surprised reaction, pushing his acting skill to the edge just to make it more natural.Theodore glanced at Red. “He’s Lorelei’s husband, Chloe’s cousin…” he replied.“Damn, I didn't know… he’s my college best friend, we just meet again so we went here,” Red said then called a waitress to get them a drink.Paxton was just silently looking at Theodore who couldn’t even look at him because maybe, he was afraid that Paxton would tell Chloe about what he discovered. Then Theodore snapped, why is he here too, anyway? This is not a proper place for a reunion!“Did Lorelei know that you’re here?” Theodore asked, trying to divert the attention from him.“Bro, you’re engaged. Why are you here too?” Red said.“I’m not talking to you.”Red faked zipping his mouth and shifted his attention to the waitress who just got back from getting their orders. He seemed to be enjoying the tension between Theodore and his Boss, Pa
Chapter Fourteen: Cheating Issue.THE night’s calming with the bright stars at night. Paxton was sitting on the balcony, drinking his favorite whiskey with his iPad in the other hand. Lately, he has been here every night to think. Lorelei was already sleeping while he couldn’t sleep so he decided to stay on the balcony and browse on his iPad.Suddenly, his phone rang. After he glanced at the screen, he immediately slide the answer button. It was Red.“Hello, Boss? Have you seen the news on social media? The reporter had already posted the photo and it went viral by now!” he said, excitedly.Paxton leaned back on the chair he was sitting on before he opened his social media account to see the link that Red sent to him. “Yeah, I’m seeing it now,” he replied. “Good job, we’ll see what will happen to him.”He smirked while reading the article regarding Theodore Myers. It is still blind item but there are lots of people who already known that it was him since it isn't hard to guess.“That
Chapter Fifteen: It Must Be Paxton.OLIVER went inside a black Nissan Sentra as soon as he saw what was happening in the Night Bar that Theodore owned. They used a simple car to make sure that they would not attract people.“My Lord, it is confirmed. The police are currently raiding the strip club,” Oliver said.Paxton slowly nodded, then looked outside the car to see the policemen that went outside the Night Bar with the staff of the strip club. They were in handcuffs. They are not wearing police uniforms, perhaps they are undercover tonight that's why no one noticed them.“Who called a complaint to the police?” he asked.“Upon my investigation, their Night Bar has been under surveillance since about a year ago. The police can’t gather enough information because of how clean Theodore worked in this Strip Club. But there’s a worker inside who sent a complaint earlier. It was the woman in the photo that was posted on social media. The reporter didn't blur her face.”“That’s bad…” Paxto
Chapter Sixteen: Underground Business. “I DON’T have another woman, Lorelei. You should sleep now, we will talk about this tomorrow.” Paxton tried his best to be calm even though he’s already burning inside. He doesn't want to tell Lorelei everything about him, especially now that he just got started from his plan. “I will go back to our house tomorrow if you don’t tell me your secrets!” That’s what Lorelei told her before he convinced her to sleep. That night, he made up a story to cover up his identity. He didn't know when Lorelei saw his cars but he knows that Lorelei might suspect his identity after seeing them. The next morning, he greeted Lorelei with breakfast in bed. A toast, hangover soup and tea to relieve her hangover. Lorelei was glaring at him when he put on the bed table in front of her. “I remembered everything that I told you last night. You should tell me why you have lots of expensive and limited edition cars and… why aren’t you sleeping with me? Was the re
