He's Secret Twins

CHAPTER 2

Anya

After I managed to pull myself together, I continued cleaning all my assigned areas on the executive floor. I prayed for Axton not to get out of his office, and by the time lunch came I did not see him again and I was grateful for it. I went to the corner cafe near the office to grab a coffee and a bagel. It was eleven in the morning and this was basically my breakfast. I needed some answers about what Axton was doing here in New York and I knew who was going to answer them. “Hey girl what’s up” hearing Ginger's cheerful voice made me smile. “Axton and What is he doing here in New York is what’s up? How did he even find me? You could at least have told me.”

“Woo, woo, stop there, I did not know that he was in New York” she sounded really honest, but that did not explain how he knew where I was, and he knew. I could see the glimpse of knowledge in his eyes when he saw me, and the fact that he did not even say a word to me. “So how did he know? What if he knows about the twins, Ginger I cannot afford a legal battle against Axton Begliarin” I was getting hyperventilated again just thinking on the whole legal battle that I knew was going to take place if he knew about the twins. “Girly all that I was aware is that he acquired a new company and had to travel for it, but the budget was part of the real estate section of finance and for some reason it was a confidential transaction, which makes sense now, Axton has always known that you were my friend.”

” Let me do some digging and I will call you back” I hang up, swallowing the rest of my coffee and a beagle, rushing to the office building as my break was close to an end. “Thanks god you are back, where did you go?” was the first thing that I heard when I walk in in the building lobby, Brandon looked scare and nervous when he approached me, I could even see that he was ventilating. “I went for my lunch sir” he grabbed my hand and started to drag me to the elevator making all the people around look at us. “Sir I do not know what happened but you need to let my arm go” I was furious how did he dare to drag me like a rug, I tried to shake him off but he did not even notice “I do not know what did you do to infuriate the new boss in his first day, but I am not going to lose this contract because of you, I should have known better than hire you without a background check, heck I do not even have your home address” cold sweat ran through my back, why was Axton angry at me and how did Brandon find out about my missing information, Ginger guaranteed me that her contact had taken care of all that. I did not like this whole situation. I started to punch him and kick him but, surprisingly, his skinny frame had a lot more muscle than I thought, his grip on my arm became tighter and I could feel the bruise forming already. “Brandon, please let me go.” I needed to get out of here. The doors of the elevators open on the executive floor and I stop fighting, feeling all the eyes on us. Brandon started to drag me towards Axton's office.

“Alright Anya, just deny anything and everything will be fine” I kept repeating to myself. Once, we entered Axton's office, and when I said enter, I referred to Brandon dragging me. Axton looked at me straight into my eyes. “ Where were you?” he demanded. Why was he on edge? Did he think that I had run away? “I was on break.” I tried to sound as calm and cold as possible, I did not want to show him how much he was affecting me right now. “Mr. Brock, you can let her go”

Axton was not asking, he was demanding Brandon to let my arm go. I could tell by his eyes that he was holding a thread, Brandon let go of my hand and I could feel the blood rushing back to my arm. “I won't need your presence anymore, Mr. Brock” Axton was still glaring at Brandon with a dare stare while he did not waste any time and started to leave the office. “ Oh and Mr. Brock, Miss Sinccilar will no longer work for you. I had already contacted your boss and asked for her files to be transferred.” I looked at Brandon and he only nodded and scared out of the office. I looked at Axton and I knew that he was enjoying the fear in my eyes right now by the smirk in his face. “Come sit down, let me see”. I looked at him confused by his change of behavior when I noticed that I was rubbing my arm right where Brandon was holding me.

After I sit down where he directs me to, he starts to pull my sleeve up to see the bruise already forming. I could feel the sparks already starting in my arms. Why did he have to have this effect on me? It was not right, it had been three years and he was married. I snapped out of my slumber, pulling my arm away from him as I stood. "How did you find me," he took a deep breath standing and passing his fingers through his hair. I did not notice but he had cut it, giving him a more mature look. "Anya, we can discuss this later", he tried to grab me but I stepped back, trying to understand his motto.

" No, you kicked me out of your life like I was nothing but a used rag doll, you do not get to come back like nothing happened" At this point, I was holding my tears. "Stop pretending to be a victim, you stole from me and I did not press charges against you. If anything you should thank me" " thank you? I already told you that I did not steal anything from you. Why should I thank you for making my life even harder in the past three years?" I could not understate what he wanted from me. I have finally sort of figured it out for myself and my kids. I did not need him to come and turn everything upside down.

I stepped closer to the door. " Mr. Begliarin, if there is anything that I could help you with", I was not going to let him victimize me any more. I held eye contact with him and forced myself to.. Don’t look down. " Yes, starting tomorrow you are part of my payroll."
