Chapter 59: Trouble in paradise

"Good night, sweet little. I'll leave after you head into the building, so get going," he bid her goodnight and ushered her to head home. 

Maya walked towards the building, she could feel his eyes on her as she walked. 

Jax Easton had rejected her even before her feeling had manifested strongly. Yet, the way he did it, she didn't feel her heart breaking. Only the hopes of getting love in return were shattered, yet funnily, he also gave her hope of the start of something beautiful. 

Maya walked away confused and relieved to some levels. Jax was not an open book as she originally thought, the man was simple and sophisticated at the same time. 

Once inside the building, Jax entered the car. He had made a few promises to Maya, they were the only things holding him back. After clearing the misunderstandings that he had created, he vowed to leave the country for good. 

The taxi drove away.
