Chapter Three

4 hours earlier

In a spotless, brightly lit office, a man stood at the ceiling to floor window that overlooked the entire city. His tall, straight body gave off a deep aura of someone not to be crossed.

He brought his hands to his mouth, in between his fingers was a cigar. He took a deep drag of it and turned to look at the person standing in his office.

“Everything's done right?”, He said to the person in the office, his voice deep and menacing.

“Yes Mr Blake , here's the marriage certificate. The judge sends his greetings too”. The man being addressed said as he brought out the certificate and placed it on the large table in the office.

“Tell me about my wife, Kyle”, Jaxon said with a smirk as he walked towards the table to pick up the marriage certificate.

“She's like a little rabbit, scared but will bite if cornered”. Kyle responded without any emotions.

Jaxon looked at Savannah's signature on the certificate, his face bare of any emotions.

“You can leave now, tell Kim to come here on your way out”.

Kyle nodded and walked out of Jaxon's office, he saw Kim, one of Jaxon's secretaries and asked her to go inside.

Kim smooths the imaginary wrinkle on her short skirt and unbutton the first button on her shirt. Smiling haughtily, she walked towards Jaxon's office with her head high while earning scornful looks from her other colleagues.

“Who does she think she is, just because the boss is lenient these days, she thinks she can seduce him”.

“I must say I admire her confidence, not everyone can be bold enough to approach the boss so blatantly like that”.

Stella, an assistant to Jaxon, murmured mockingly and rolled her eyes at Kim's swaying hips.

“You called me sir”, Kim walked close to Jaxon's chair, her hips swaying seductively like a dancer. She looked at Jaxon in expectation, hoping for him to acknowledge her hot body.

“Who gave you permission to enter without knocking”. Kim was startled by Jaxon's cold voice, even without looking at her, his voice has a powerful tone that can easily frighten people.

“I…I didn't know, I'm sorry sir, it won't happen again”.

Her stuttering made Jaxon frown, he finally decided to look at her. His face was bare of any expression but his eyes convey a deadly intensity.

“Miss Jenkins, do you know why I invited you to my office”.

“No sir”

“At Roger’s party, my drink was spiked. And if not for my quick thinking, I'd have been a victim of sexual assault, wouldn't that be laughable?”.

Kim's heart started beating rapidly, there was no way he could have known she told one of the servers to drug him. Maintaining a calm face, she tried to appear surprised.

“I didn't know about that sir”.

Jaxon watched Kim's resolute stance. He admired her ability to adapt to the situation even though she was guilty. Without saying a word, he turned his laptop towards her, on the screen a video was playing. Kim watched in horror as her scheming was exposed.

“I…I can ex…explain sir”. She begged. She knew that although Jaxon was lenient, he's not someone to be crossed and being on the receiving end of his anger was dangerous.

“Go on, I'd like to hear why you suddenly entered the hotel room I was in to try and seduce me”.

Jaxon took a cigarette and lit it, he watched her trembling figure, an immense anger raged through him. He doesn't care about the affairs of his employees but when they start to get unrealistic ideas about him, he fires them. He was shocked at Kim's boldness in drugging him and trying to sleep with him.

“I'm sorry Mr Blake, please forgive me. I promise I won't do it again”.

Kim's face was covered in tears.

Matthias walked in with two other men ready to take Kim out.

“Ensure she doesn't step foot in this city and I never see her again”.

The two men took Kim out, she struggled and tried to wiggle out of their grip. One of the men did a knife chop on her neck, successfully knocking her out. They took Kim out and used the exclusive elevator so other employees wouldn't see them.

Jaxon dismissed Matthias. He placed the cigarette on the ashtray. He paused the video and rested his back on the chair. He knew an enemy placed Kim on his side but didn't act out just to know their plans. Unfortunately the spy they brought fell for him.

“Well, it's not my fault for being handsome”. A smirk appeared on Jaxon's face, chuckling at how the situation played out. They probably underestimated him, that's why they sent a low level spy who didn't last a month.

Jaxon stood from his office chair and headed towards a mini workstation where he had some design drafts. He started sketching an evening dress, he prefers doing a draft on paper before transferring it into a digital image.

Three hours passed and he was done with the outline and structure of the dress. He checked the time and saw it was late in the night already. He thought about his new bride waiting for him at home and a sinister smile graced his face.

“Now Savannah, time for us to meet”, he murmured.
