Chapter Seventeen: Too Expensive.“WHY do we have to buy a suit? I have lots in our house.” Paxton said right after they went inside the Mall. When he came back to the Villa, Lorelei was there waiting for him. He was about to rest for a while because he knows that they have to go to a family dinner tonight but Lorelei quickly caught him and dragged him out of the Villa only to end up here in the Mall; to buy a suit that will fit the family dinner tonight.“When did you last buy a suit? Don’t you hear people humiliate you because of how you dress?” she asked. “It hurts me whenever they talk about how cheap your suits and clothes are.”“It’s fine with me,” he said. Paxton looked down to the suit he’s wearing. It's an old and cheap black polo and ripped jeans. His shoes aren't that pricey either. Before he started this out, he didn't dress up like this. This was all just a part of his plan, to make sure that no one could think of his identity. If he wore his limited edition suits, his
Chapter Eighteen: Traumatic Experience.“HOW did you know Lady Fuchsia?” Lorelei couldn’t help but ask Paxton while they were driving all the way to the hotel where their family dinner will be held. Paxton glanced at her before he turned back his attention to the road.“She’s my patient…” he replied“Patient? She called you, My Lord!” Paxton shook his head and continued driving, not minding what his wife was trying to point out. “She's just my patient, Lorelei. Don’t tell me you’re jealous?” he laughed, playfully.“No, I’m not. But if she's your patient, why does she call you, My Lord instead of Doctor?”“Everyone calls me that, and Lady Fuchsia does want to address me the way my people do,” he replied.Lorelei kept on asking him over and over until they arrived at the hotel. While Paxton kept trying to change their topic so that she wouldn't ask for more. It wasn't like he wanted to lie to her, it was just that, he wasn't ready yet.The five-star hotel was great and the staff was
Chapter Nineteen: Inside Lavigne Inc.PAXTON stayed inside the cubicle, listening to Levi who was talking over the phone. He didn’t get out until he was sure that Levi and left the bathroom. Listening through his rants, he wasn’t sure who he was talking to. It was only Levi that he was hearing and he didn’t even mention a name. After he finally calmed down, he went out of the bathroom and returned to the table where Lorelei was patiently waiting for him.He sat down in the chair and smiled. “How about we leave now and go home? Was that okay?”Lorelei looked at him with confusion. “You’re not okay, right?” she asked. “I’m sorry…”“Oh, you don’t have to. I’m tired and I want to go home now.”Thankfully, she understands him. If he stayed in here for long, he doesn’t know if he could handle it. He has anxiety attacks whenever he was in a gathering like this, it’s just that he can stay for a while but not for too long. As long as he was distracted, he can stay. But because all he can see
Chapter Twenty: First Attack.DARIUS was busy reading and signing all the documents that he has to sign. It was his most-hate job, signing hard-copy documents. It’s tiring his hands that he curses a lot.“Damn!” He exclaimed then stretched his arm before continuing on signing the last document. It was only ten documents, and contracts yet he hates it.On the last page that he was currently signing, a text message from his phone interrupted him. He ignored it and signed the last page before he took the phone and see the message. His brow arched after seeing the message.“A prank?” he asked himself.From: Unregistered Number.How was your life after killing a family, ten years ago?He tried to think of a family that he had killed ten years ago, but because it was too many to remember, he couldn’t think who was it. Yes, Darius have killed many family in the past ten years and he doesn’t give a damn on them. He doesn’t have a conscience. Those people has debt on him and killing them was a
Chapter Twenty-One: He Shouldn’t.PAXTON wondered how Darius get all of his guards. These guards are useless, just like how useless all the guards that his men took down earlier.“Let me in,” he said.“Our Lord told me not to let you in.” The guard who has a bald head replied.“Why? I need a valid explanation.”“I’m sorry, Sir.” His eyes scanned him from head to toe. “Though you look not that bad, our Lord told us that you are garbage and you stink, he doesn’t want to smell your stinky smell,” he replied.“Have you used deodorant before getting in here?” he asked.The guard seemed annoyed after hearing that from him. “What did you say?”“You smell bad than me, why did he let you in, then?” The guard was caught off-guard after hearing that he quickly run towards him and threw a punch but before his fist landed on Paxton’s face, he caught his fist, then twist his arm around through his back.“Ah! Fuck!”“How do Darius choose his guards? You are such a weakling.”The guard was about to
Chapter Twenty-Two: Spy Camera.PAXTON doesn't want to end his revenge right away, the reason why he was pushing Darius to do more. He wants to know his limitations, his edge. And pushing him harder will make the fight between them better.“My Lord, here's all of the files that you needed.” Oliver put the folders on his table that he quickly took.When he opened it, files regarding Darius’ activity in the past ten years were inside. It was all highlighted, Oliver didn't start small activities, just those were important.“There’s a shareholder’s gathering at Lavigne's Realty. Are we going to decline the invitation again? Just like last year?”Paxton smiled while flipping at the files. “Well, I think I should show myself on that day. I want to see his reaction once I show up as a shareholder.”Oliver nodded. “Alright My Lord, I will inform them that you’ll go.”After that, Oliver quickly left his clinic to do as he said and also the other things that he had to do for Paxton. The day w
Chapter Twenty-Three: Faced Him.PAXTON quickly stood up from his swivel chair as soon as he saw that Darius was looking through Amiel’s glasses. “Oliver, we have to go to Amiel. He’s in danger,” he said.He quickly took his coat that was hanging on the rack stand while listening to the conversation from his Bluetooth earphone.“So, it was you!” “No, Sir! It wasn’t me, Sir—”“Who sent you here?!”“No one, Sir! I need my glasses, I can’t see, Sir!”Paxton immediately went out of his clinic with Oliver following him. Oliver also called for a backup that was waiting outside Lavigne Inc. They are ready for this. Paxton knew that there was a possibility that Darius would find it out so he made sure that there is a backup plan.“Amiel will surely be interrogated. Be ready!” Paxton yelled.As soon as they left the hospital, a car parked in front of them and they quickly hopped in. He still heard what was happening to Amiel but couldn’t see them. Then a crash made his heart beat faster. “D
Chapter Twenty-Four: Interesting.“IT was nice to meet you, Darius Lavigne.”Darius was stunned after seeing a man masked with a black tiger. He didn’t know what to say, especially when he saw that there were lots of men behind him. They were all wearing the same mask!“W-what the hell are you doing?!” Darius yelled. “Who are you?!”Paxton gestured to his men to enter the room. The guards inside quickly attacked them but because there were too many, they couldn’t win. Darius felt nervous. He doesn’t know what to do. He couldn’t believe that this would all happen just today!“I sent you a message, haven’t you received it?” Paxton asked.“Show me your face, you asshole!”Raging in anger, Paxton grabbed his neck and squeezed it tightly, making Darius choke. He tried to bulge but because Paxton is stronger he couldn’t get off of his grip.“Did you remember the family you killed ten years ago? The family you burned down to death…”His eyes widened in surprise. He has killed a lot of familie
