He's Secret Twins

CHAPTER 5

Axton

I see her nod her head, the loose strains of her hair escaping out of the tight ponytail moving freely around her skin as she stands to leave.

“You can continue as normal with your work routine. If you accept, I will give you the intel on the job allocation”. She nods one more time, and I wish I could know what she was thinking. She’s so hard to r******w. I remember when it was easy to know how she was feeling by just looking into her eyes. They seem so dull now....

I watched as she closed the door behind her. I couldn’t help but to open the manila envelope as soon she left, needing to know where she had been hiding all this time.

The first thing that I noticed was that she actually used her real name. One of the reasons why I wasn’t able to track her down so easily was because she was going by Issabela Anya Sinccilar, a simple change, but the fact that she was not using her social or had an updated ID with her name or address was what it made it so hard.

It took me a little fortune and breaking a couple of laws to track her down, acquiring the company where she was working was a though deal, the prior owner was what we call a shark in the business industries and buying him out have cost me a couple millions, but at least it was a smart move the company had a steady flow of good clients and it’s revenue a year were always exceeding the expectations, I had my financial team tracking and investigating the company assets for months before I even decided to make my offer. It was all worth it. I have spent the last four years trying to track her down just to end on dead ends.

I was planning on seducing her and making her pay for all that she did. I let her go too easy and jumped in a marriage with her still on my system, the fool in me thinking that was the best option. If I wanted my marriage to work, I had to take her out of my system. I really wanted to make it work for Tayra, she was always there for me, always supporting me and although I knew I would never be able to love her, I wanted to at least be able to f**k her without thinking about Anya.

Her soft skin, those beautiful hazel eyes drove in passion every time that I entered on her, and those luscious lips, God, how much I wanted to taste them again. I took a deep breath and switched on my seat uncomfortable, fixing my hard on, just thinking about her made me hard. Once situated, I dial the number of my detective.

“This is Keeton”

“I have her address. I need you to place your men to watch her every move”. I cut to the chase Keeton was a really efficient detective and had a really reliable security company, the same that I use for Tayra. I did not love her, but she is still my wife, besides she loves the attention too much.

“Alright, is she on her house now?”

“She’s here now, but you can start tracking the phone that I gave her as soon as it shows that it’s on” I made sure to have a backup plan to be able to track her in case this was a false address.

I finished talking with Keeton and forced myself to work. I am sure that she was going to accept this job. It's not like she had any other option but to quit at this point.

Anya

It was lunch time and I had not seen Axton in the whole day, which I was really grateful for. Even since I saw him yesterday for the first time after so long, my heart has been in a frenzy when he’s nearby.

“Hi little bird”. I felt a chill run down my spine, I turned, leaving the cradle of coffee that I was making on the counter, just to be faced with Joseph Girardot, senior of the finance department and a total creep with slippery hands.

“Mr. Girardot” I nodded and tried to pass by him, but he was not having it, grabbing me by my waist with only one hand.

“Not so fast, have you thought about my proposition?” I smelt his expensive cologne as he tried to whisper in my ear, and for some reason it was not appealing, on the contrary, I was starting to have nauseas. I tried to push him away but he did not budge, I felt the panic raising on my guts, and they traitor tears on my eyes trying to come out, but I forced myself to keep a straight face, I really did not want to cause a scene. I had enough on my plate as it was.

“As I mentioned, Mr. Girardot I’m not interested, now if you could let me go”, he offered to turn me into his mistress after seeing me one night walking home with my kids. He was the only person besides Brandon that knew in the office about the twins and I really needed to try and not offend him, so he wouldn’t mention, more now than ever, my neighborhood was really known for prost*****on and d**gs and from what I heard he was a regular on both businesses.

He lets me go as one of the interns walks in, looking at me up and down with disgust on her face. Taking the opportunity, I made my leave, almost running to the elevator as it was closing the doors.

Once outside the building, I decided on going for a walk in central park. It wasn’t like I could buy anything to eat today anyway, yes it was a Friday and it was pay day but I already have all my money compromised. I needed to talk with Bridget, try to figure out how I could accept his offer.

“Hello”

“Hi, I have a big problem.”

“What did he do now?” I heard her taking a deep breath, and I instantly felt bad. Bridget has always been there for me like the sister that I never had, and I truly appreciate all that she has done for me and my kids, but I couldn’t help to feel guilty about throwing all my struggles on her shoulders as well.

I spent the next fifteen minutes explaining to her all that happened this morning with Axton, avoiding what happened with Joseph as I didn’t want to worry her anymore.

“ I have the perfect solution” she says with her cheerful voice.

“What is it?”

“Well, the address that I gave you for you to put was my cousin’s. She’s studying fine arts but has taken a year off school, and well, it works just fine since my aunt and uncle have threatened her to cut her off if she doesn’t get a job or go back to school”.

“I’m sorry Bridget, but I’m not following.”

“What I mean is that I have got a babysitter for you, which works since she lives near the offices and Axton’s penthouse in the city.”

“Wow Bridget, I don’t know what to say, not to offend, but how reliable is your cousin? And how did you get his address? I thought that NY office case was close to you.”

“She is really reliable, used to babysit half her neighborhood since she was fourteen, I can send you her resume with all the CPR certifications if you want, and well. It is close to me since I don’t have access to it, but I have my contacts.”

“Not need, I trust you, if you could have her calling me so we can go over everything that will be great, and please do not get in any trouble because of me”. We spoke for a couple of minutes more as I was making my way back to the building and said our goodbyes. I honestly wouldn’t know what would have been of me and my kids without Bridget.

Once in the office I went straight to the utility closet where I keep all the cleaning supplies, I really wanted to avoid Axton for the rest of the day so I headed to the opposite side of his office with my cleaning cart. I didn’t know if I was going to be doing this tomorrow or ever again but I wanted to do my job well for as long as it lasted. I kept my mind occupied by the work focusing on scrubbing the bathrooms and refilling the coffee stations throughout the floor, I was so into my routine that I did not notice my watch beeping, one of the ladies from the HR department that was passing by looked at me I annoyance. I turned it off and rush to place all the cleaning supplies back in its closet.

After clocking out my phone started to go off seeing that the number was from New York I assumed that it must be Bridget's cousin.

“Hello?” I answered rushing to the elevator, the least that I needed was for someone to hear.

“Hi, is this Anya?” a cheerful vice answered.

“She’s speaking”

“Oh, Hi. This is Clare, Bridget’s cousin, she mentioned that you needed a nanny?”

“Hi Clare, yes Bridget told me that you were great with kids, it’s there any way that we could meet tomorrow morning to go over details?” I managed to say as I was swiping my metro card in the bus reader.

“Sure, I will see you in the café near my apartment at nine, I’m sending you the address now” and just as she said that a notification popped in my screen.

“Got it, I will let you know when we arrive” we said our goodbyes and finished the call.

During my bus ride to pick up the twins I couldn’t avoid remembering Axton’s intense response towards our conversation. He was always so calm and affectionate when we were dating, well at least on public, he had a vicious dominant side when we were intimate that would always turn me on. Like fire caressing my skin, yes he was my first and the only me that I’ve been with but he always made me feel right.

I jumped out of the crowded buss when the buss driver announced my stop It has been years and I can still be affected by the memory of his touch.

“Alright, have a great weekend” said the teacher’s assistant as we left the building. I had one kid on each hip as I made my way to our buss stop, it was a long ride from the kids daycare to our apartment in Brooklyn and thankfully I was able to get one sit where I sat the twins. Their birthday was almost in the corner and I really wanted to do something, I always baked a cake and we sat on the floor and sang happy birthday fallow by them destroying that cake and having a sugar crash.

But this year I wanted to really celebrate it different, maybe take them to an amusement park, I’ve been saving for almost a year and I might be able to take them to Sesame street team park. They love the big yellow bird and cookie monster, sometimes I couldn’t help but to think what would’ve been our lives if Axton knew of their existence, but that thought would quickly disappear when I remembered how he easily he believed all the lies and how quick he was to accused me without even asking, the fear of him taking away my babies away from me, I couldn’t allow him to know the truth.

It was already dark outside when we made it to the dollar tree store near our apartment building,

The kids were so excited with all the stuff that I was filling the cart with.

“Mommy, ice cream” I grabbed some and kept taking the essentials to last me another month, I still had to go to the grocery store to grab the bones and vegetables scraps, but that would have to be tomorrow after meeting Clare.

I really hope that this arrangements were going to work I trust Bridget and her judgment, but when it came to my kids I wasn’t a person that trusted easily. After paying for the groceries I paid one of the delivery guys and headed home with only one bag containing what I was going to cook, it was really convenient since I really couldn’t take all the bags and hold the twins at the same time, and they would deliver it in a couple of hours.

Alex and Cassie were excited as we walked up the stairs of the building, each holding a toy that they pick in the store. Once inside I left them play with their new toys while I took the contract that Axton gave me and turned on the phone that he gave me.

I started to make dinner, mac & cheese was going to be, easy and quick, the twins were still playing in the carpet in the small living room area, I grabbed the contract to read through all the terms. And what was expecting from me. I wasn’t surprised when I saw in bold and caps “ALL TRANSACTIONS WILL BE MADE BY A PREPAID CARD PROVIDED BY EMPLOYER, AND ALL TRANSACTIONS MUST ME APPROVE”

The rest of the contract was self-explanatory, I was his personal assistant which meant that I was to take care of his state in NY, personal meetings but not limited to contribute with his assistant at work or cover her if necessary. I was in charge of any travel arrangements with the possibility of travel with him at any moment.

That last part I need to get in a middle ground with him, I just didn’t know how to approach it or what excuse will I give him.

“who’s hungry?” I ask as I sat on the floor with two plates of pasta, my two babies looked at me like I was asking them who wanted a double ration of ice cream. And the innocent on their eyes just reaffirm that everything that I was doing was worth it.

After dinner and giving the twins a bath I noticed how late it was it was almost nine, and not only the delivery from the store didn’t arrive, I just remembered that I have to call Axton with my decision.

“Alright, time for bed” I said as I grabbed them from the floor where they were playing.

“Don’t want it” they stated to chant and I couldn’t avoid but to smile at the cuteness in their voice.

“You can play tomorrow” I placed them on their bed and as any kid will do they were really not trying to stay on bed , but after a couple of minutes of me battling with them I got them to finally fall asleep.

I opened the phone that he gave me and searched on contacts, as promised his number was save “Boss” I couldn’t avoid but to roll my eyes, I dialed and after ringing two times hi picked up.

“You took long” was his immediate response.

“I thought that I had until midnight?” I sat on one of the small chairs in the living room and started to take out my shoes and let my hair lose, I usually don’t even get a shower let alone eat until the twins are in bed, this was usually the time that I also used for cleaning.

“Do you have a decision?” I could hear the impatience on his voice, why would he want me so badly to be his assistant? Wasn’t Tayra going to said something?

“I accept, and I know..” I was interrupted in mid sentence when I hear the door, pretty sure it was the delivery guy.

As I opened the door I come face to face with Axton, I don’t know how someone was supposed to react to something like this but all I know is that I slammed the door close and leaned against it, what was he doing here? , how did he find me?, what should I do?

My blood was running a marathon through my heart and my ears were blocking all the sounds, I was leaning against that door for some balance, because my whole body was shaking.

“Anya open this dam door or I will break it down” at this point his screams were so loud that I am sure all the building heard him banging on my door.

“Mommy” said Alex in a sleeping voice while Cassie started to cry. I took a deep breath trying to gather all my thoughts, there was nowhere in heaven that I was going to let Axton scare my babies, no matter how scared I was myself. The banging on the door turned more violent if possible and I knew I didn’t have any other option but to face him.
