Daxon’s interest in Azura has grown stronger. It has gotten to a point where he cannot pretend that he doesn’t have growing feelings for her. It would be wise if he stayed away from attaching himself to anyone from Veronica’s family but it is what it is. What can he do? Azura’s presence has a way of encircling him and he cannot think straight.

Regardless, there are things they have to discuss involving Veronica and how things came about in the Bright group event. Azura has been avoiding Daxon because she is ashamed of the woman she refers to as sister. After the whole enchilada, he sent her a couple of messages but she didn’t reply to either of them.

Two things, she has been busy moving into a new apartment and second, she didn’t know what to say if she picked his call. Even at work, she pretended to not see him when he was talking to Michael and Sydney.

So, Daxon came up with a proposition. He told Michael to inform her that she was to meet a client at a reputable restaurant in orde

    “Keep your filthy hands to yourself!” Daxon’s voice is like a thunderous strike. Shocked by the audacity in his voice, Veronica gazes at him in complete awe. She keeps her hands to herself and watches in haze as he protects her sister in a protective manner where she wished it was her.“How bold of you to approach a man that you cheated on, belittled, hated and scorned! Is it the reek of my newly acquired wealth that drew you to this place? I assure you, there is no place for you in it.” Daxon says and Veronica blinks repeatedly.As far as Veronica thought, she arrived here, ready to base Daxon on the past version of him. It did not occur to her that he would have grown into an Alpha male—one that was ready to speak back to her and break every delusion that she arrived with.“Daxom, it’s me, Veronica. I know that I cheated on you and divorced you. It was a mistake and I regret it. Please, forgive me.” Veronica pleads, while false and dramatic tears roll from her cheeks.Daxon scoffs. H

    Due to his busy schedule, Daxon does not have time to converse with Azura about what Veronica just pulled in front of them. After the confrontation with Veronica, Daxon’s face is etched with lines of contemplation, brows furrowed in deep concentration, and dark pools of eyes searching for an answer in the depths of his thoughts.He remembers to inform his personal driver to stop Azura at Bright group before he leaves for his appointment. He notices her quietness, she hasn’t bothered to ask him any question. On their way to Bright group, Azura’s countenance reflects a bittersweet melancholy. Her eyes that were once filled with hope and longing at the restaurant, now carry a hint of sadness.Although, she did not buy Veronica’s tears…she cannot say the same for Daxon. There's a distant look in her eyes, as if she's lost in thoughts of someone who cannot return her affection. “Azura?” Daxon calls her name again, trying to make her aware that they are at Bright group. “Yes?” She says, f

    “Is that lip—lipstick?” Sydney asks, her heart is beating very fast because it is obvious—it is a red stain on his lips and it can only come from a woman’s lipstick.“Um…” Daxon says, remembering where it came from and smirking at the thought. Michael rushes to his side with his suit and hands him a napkin to wipe his lips. Above the cloudless sky, the helicopter transporting the Prince of UAE soars in the air. Its metallic body gleams in the sunlight as it defies gravity by a rhythmic rotation of its rotor blades.“Whop, whop!”The pilot, who is seated in the cockpit, passes information to the security of “castle hotel” telling them to evacuate the area of landing. As the helicopter descends from the sky, the rotor blades gradually slow their rhythmic rotation, producing a whirring sound. Due to the magnitude of the blades, wind blows extravagantly as the helicopter makes a gentle descent to the ground. Daxon and the rest of the hotel staffs are dressed in their uniforms of light blu

    A VIP room is prepared for Daxon to focus on his virtual meeting. He sets up his advanced technological gadgets where he begins to speak with investors who are interested in Bright group shares. Due to his messed up schedule, it’s only convenient to carry on the meeting through a zoom call.The VIP suite has a private balcony which offers a breathtaking view of the architectural surroundings of the hotel. The terrace is open and it allows a gentle, refreshing breeze to sweep into the room. The centerpiece of the hotel room is a plush, king-sized bed with fine linens and a multitude of plump pillows.Outside his hotel room, Matthew, who is supposed to be on late night cleaning duties joins Veronica, who leaves from a taxi and he sneaks her into the lodger's room.“Did you get any of them?” Matthew asks, looking outside for any by-passers.“Yes, I got them both. Are you trying to kill someone here? Tell me what you want to do with it before I hand it over.” She says.“It’s for your own

    As Daxon wraps up the meeting with their new investors, his phone beeps and he picks it up. It’s Azura, and she is wondering why he hasn’t arrived at her apartment yet. “Hey, Azura.” He says, logging out from the call on his laptop.“I guess you are working late. I heard the Prince of UAE arrived much earlier than you expected. Is everything under control?” Azura asks.“Yes, it went perfectly, I’m sorry…I couldn’t make it to your apartment in time because of an investors meeting. I’m at Castle…I’ll pack up and…” “No, don’t.” Azura interrupts Daxon.“You have been working a lot today and I don’t want you to have to leave. I haven’t been to the castle hotel before. I don’t know why I have never had the time.” She says.“Well, you could come over and I’ll show you around. I also want to speak to you. It feels like everytime we try to talk, something or someone always steps in between.” Daxon says, remembering the mask event and how Veronica yanked Azura away.“Really? Will you give me

    At the sound of the door, Veronica is confused on what to do. Daxon is still passed out, it could be anyone at the door and the longer she stays on the bed, the worse it gets. So, an idea immediately comes up in her mind and with that, she gets up from the bed, heading into the mini bar section in the VIP hotel room.She takes out a bottle of whisky, pops it open and fills it into two glasses. Veronica pours the rest of it into the sink and places the empty bottle on the floor. Again, she takes out a bottle of Rye whiskey and gulps from it to give the illusion that she drank. Veronica opens Daxon’s mouth and fills it with rum, flinging it to the ground and allowing it to pour. Taking off her clothes, she climbs back into the bed, throws her hair in disarray, smudging her makeup and closing her eyes.Outside the door, Azura is confused as to why Daxon is not answering. She has rang the alarm a dozen times but no response.it doesn’t make sense. Her piercing blue eyes are filled with wo

    Daxon’s body becomes frozen momentarily, he stares at Veronica inprofound shock. His face turns pale, and his hands pass through his hair as he struggles to comprehend how she ended up here.Veronica jolts in fear and looks at him. Her mouth slowly opens as if she is as confused as he is. She faces Lewis and Sydney, lifting the sheets to cover herself while pretending to be oblivious.“Oh my goodness! What are you guys doing in our room? Daxon, do something!” Veronica says and he looks at her in confusion.“What are you doing here?” Daxon says, it is evident on his face that he doesn’t remember anything or understand why his ex-wife that he has no business meeting is present in his hotel room, on his bed.“What do you mean by that? We are on the same bed, in a hotel room, what else would I be doing here?” Veronica says and Lewis holds Daxon. The heir of Bright group closes his eyes trying to put things in order, why can't he remember anything?Daxon’s face is disconcerted with rage, h

    “It can’t be! There is no way I allowed that woman into my room, Lewis. I don’t understand. I can’t remember anything. How is it possible that I even drank?” Daxon says. Daxon impatiently thrust his arms into the shirt's sleeves, he yanks it aggressively, as if the fabric is the one that offended him. The acrylic buttons of his shirt are fastened in a flash, causing him to strain against the buttonholes in defiance. With a frustrated huff, Daxon downs his head into his palms and sighs.Lewis walks towards him, confused as to what happened inside that hotel room. They return to his personal home because he needed to think straight without Veronica’s version of what took place. “Boss, take it easy. I know for a fact that you would never go back to your ex-wife. I also know that you do not drink excessively like that.” Lewis says.“Then, why do I not remember anything!? If I didn’t drink, why don’t I remember anything!” He says, getting up from the sumptuous, oversized couch that practi

Are you dumb enough to think I would do that?” Francis says back to the Daxon, and Daxon rolls his eyes before answering.“I'm not asking her to leave. So I'm telling her to do what is right and what she did not do all these years. She tried to have my mother killed. She sent a gangster to try to kill my mother. My mother is alive now. And if you want to keep nexos group, your mother should pay for crime.”“I will speak to my mother and tell her to apologize.” Francis says and Daxon shakes his head in disapproval. “If my mother had died.

    “No, you do not know what you're saying! I can never lose my company. My company is mine, it doesn't matter what you say. You're saying I can never lose my company. I will never lose my company.” MonteCarlo says, repeating the words over and over again, as if it will become better. “If you said it as many times as you can go ahead and repeat those words as many times as you like MonteCarlo guessed, as soon as investors are asking for your money back the drops are going faster and rain falls.”“And you're here thinking everything is under control, sitting in your soul block, wondering what is happening outside. You can't even get your favorite food to eat, not knowing a bit about what is going on. In your company. I feel so sorry for you because I would rather die and be in the same position as you.” Daxon says.“Keep your fucking mouth shut!” MonteCarlo says and Daxon’s facial expression is still the same. His facial expression is full of grinning and smirking because Monte Carlo is
