An Entanglement With The Billionaire Chapter Nine
JASON“Don’t you think you are going too far with this?“Tyler, who was currently sitting with me in the boardroom, asked. “You told me yourself that you have no proof of her involvement with dad, except your instincts. Besides, she has agreed to marry you, instead of running off with everything. What more do you want?” The tone of his voice told me that he was on the verge of yelling at me, but was just holding back.I didn’t care though. Instead, I huffed and continued playing with the pen in my hands. “I have made up my mind, Tyler. I’m not going to waste five years of my life with her, when there is a fucking solution to end it way sooner than that.” I retorted.I wasn’t going to admit it, but I had been boiling with added anger, ever since that episode in her office. It had strengthened my resolution and put me back on track with the matter at hand.Tyler shook his head. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. It’s not her fault that our father could not make a better judgement, and willed

ELENA "Are got going to tell me what is going on now?" Jane, who sat opposite me in the cafe asked, giving me a concerned look.We had decided to go to our favourite cafe for lunch, instead of a restaurant. We usually came here twice a week, to satisfy our sugar cravings, and I was craving some sugar. After all, I felt really down.I sighed and shook my head. Why shouldn't I be? It's not like anything was real between us in the first place, but I couldn't help the jealousy I felt. I had no right to. But I felt it, and there was nothing I could do about it."I'm okay." I answered, lying through my teeth as I brought the cup of smoothie to closer, taking a sip through the very pink straw. I loved smoothies, but as the pineapple and strawberry goodness passed my tongue and down my throat, I could have as well been drinking water. Couldn't he at least hide it? Who was going to believe us and our facade, when they saw him with someone else?"Well, I guess it's about time you tell me what

JASONI was glad that I had finally gotten rid of Bethany. Not that I had anything against her....but at the rate she was going, it was beginning to piss me off. After we had been left alone, she had tried to get me to make love to her in my father's office! Where at any moment, anybody would have walked in on us, and I didn't even want to think about how the words would have spread like a wild fire. That wasn't how I wanted to begin my time here.Although, on a normal day, and in my own office, I would have given in, especially when she made that purring sound I liked. But she had done that. And to my surprise, I hadn't reacted at all.I had just blamed the stress and finally kissed her, just so she wouldn't feel hurt. It had to be the stress. And the sooner I was settled, the sooner I was going to relieve myself of all the pent up tension I had going down there.I quickly checked my wristwatch and seeing I had five minutes before the meeting, I got up and made my way to the boardro

ELENAThe woman staring back at me from the mirror almost made me cry.For the first time since I had gone to the office to recieve the news that I either had to choose between being an asshole that would take what I didn't deserve, and sacrificing five years just to clear my conscience, I felt my eyes start to water.The past five days had to have been the most difficult days of my life yet, as I had literally passed through a whole phase in such a short time.I had been forced to realize that the life I had chosen for myself was going to be different from the one I was now going to have.Marriage.It wasn't something that had been on my agenda, even in the next five years. I had made a lot of plans on how to live my carefree single life to the highest. Now though, I was going to waste all of it, fulfilling a contract that was supposed to have absolutely nothing to do with me.I turned to the side, admiring the way the dress hugged my small round bottom. I smiled. I wasn't a very cur

JASON"May the witnesses step forward please, and sign." The judge was saying, but I had since zoned out, waiting for the ordeal to pass.I was freaking out, inside and outside.Saying those vows had to be the hardest moment ever, as I knew none of the words meant anything to me.I could feel the sweat run down the inside of my shirt as my mind came to terms with my new reality.I was married.With a capital M!I watched as both Tyler, and Elena's friend, whom I had now come to know as Jane, signed as our witnesses, sealing the deal. Tyler had a bit of a serious expression on his face, while Jane on the other hand, looked excited.I could only wonder what she was happy about.Did she already know? Or did she think it was a real marriage?I made a mental note to ask Elena about it later on.Once they stepped back, the judge looked at the marriage certificate with a smile, then turned to the both of us."With the power vested in my by the state, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may
An Entanglement With The Billionaire Chapter Fourteen
JASONI felt bad for leaving her all by herself in the apartment, but it had to be done. There was no way I was lettting myself give in ti the crazy thoughts that were beginning to consume me, once I was within the same breathing space as her.On look, or one touch, and she sent my blood boiling.The very next day, we were supposed to leave for our one week long honeymoon.I really didn’t understand why my father thought it was necessary, especially when he was the one to put us in the mess we were.But even I had to admit that Tyler was right. Elena was actually doing us a favor when she could have just upped and ran with our money and properties.I sighed, hitting the horn a couple of times for the man in front of me to move his car faster.I had left with a boner, that had refused to subside, even when I was now far from my apartment.I had rented a shortlet apartment, just so we wouldn’t have to share a room in that suite I had been staying before. And as bare as the apartment loo
An Entanglement With The Billionaire Chapter Fifteen
ELENAI was freaking out!I thought I had it in me to stay all alone in the huge apartment, but the more the time flew by, the lord uncomfortable it got.With the boring decor that looked like it was inspired by sadness, I couldn’t help but think where my ‘husband’ had wondered off to.He had certainly looked like he had wanted to be anywhere else but near me. And as much as I knew he was a jerk, I couldn’t help but understand him.It wasn’t everyday you woke up, and having just lost your father and still in mourning, found out that he had willed all of his properties to a stranger. Including the company you has worked so hard for.Paul had barely talked about his children. But I knew enough to know that they were both very hardworking, and had lifted up the London branch from almost nothing, and by their own means.The only thing they lacked from being the perfect family, was being close to their father, who spent all his time in New York, hopping from one business deal to the other.

JASON“Just let me be, Ty.” I drawled, downing the seventh shot of tequila I had ordered for in one gulp. I had arrived at a club just a few poles away from the apartment, wanting to just grab a drink, and head upstairs to the hotel there, but just as I was getting into my groove, Tyler had called, asking where I was and what was happening. I couldn’t lie to my twin, so I had just told him, and he had arrived there in a few minutes.Now, we just sat next to each other, going over the events that had taken place from the day we read the will, to the time we stepped out of that courtroom, and I was more than sure, that I hadn’t told anyone else about it.At least for now, there were no rumors about the will. That was confidential.“How am I supposed to know who leaked the info, Ty? It could be Elena. She’s the one who would gain from all of this at the end, isn’t she?” I asked, raising my hand to the bartender to bring two more shots.Tyler tried to put my hand down, and signal the bart

An Entanglement With The Billionaire Epilogue
ELENAI smiled as I looked at my self in the mirror.It had been exactly two weeks since the incident with Colton, and we had resolved a lot of issues.Jason had come to confess to me about what he had hired Colton to do, and the truth was, even if I had been hurt hearing it from him, I had actually known about it. The night before that day, I had been having a very serious headache and had been on my way to the bedroom when I had heard him and Tyler argue about it.But I had also heard him say that he hadn’t gone through with it and had only kept Colton there.I had forgiven him then, because I couldn’t blame him. It wasn’t easy losing your father and then hearing that he had given everything he had to his assistant.Jason had even confessed that he hat thought that I was his father’s mistress and had cast it out of his kind the night we had made love for the first time.It had been a long discussion, but had actually settled a lot of things.And there was something Colton had said t

JASONI didn’t want to believe what Lucinda was saying, but with everything that had been happening for the past few days, I couldn’t not believe her. I would be a fool to give Colton the benefit of a doubt.I had taken care of that man right from the time I had seen him looking all tattered and unkempt. And all that had been a ploy to extract money from me?Well now that he had taken the millions I gave him and the one that he had stolen from Elena. Why couldn’t he just let my family be?“And did he tell you why he was doing all of this to me and my family? Did he tell you why he tried to kill us?” I asked in a raised voice that sent Lucinda cowering away, and hiding her face behind the curtain of her straight blond hair.I had always known there was something off about her. The way she behaved. The way she spoke. The way she kept mostly to herself as if the whole world was against her or something. You had always known.I just hadn’t expected this.“No. I swear he didn’t. Most of th

ELENAI didn’t have to stare at the picture for very long before I realized who it was. Even if I had seen his face only once, I could recognize him from anywhere.The eyes were a dead giveaway.Such dead eyes. Menacing eyes that looked like they had no soul.I could remember the first and only time I had seen his picture and had literally been scared of it the moment I set my eyes on him.It had to be him.“What do you mean by knowing who this man is?” It was Tyler who was asking and I turned to look at him.“Tyler, where is Lucinda?” I asked, lifting myself off Jason’s lap.The both of them looked at me in confusion as I went in search for Lucinda.“She just left. What does that have to do with anything?” Jason, who had gone completely silent, finally spoke, in a cool voice.I looked from Jason to Tyler and sighed, leaning on the kitchen counter as I recalled what had happened the day I had seen that face.“I am telling you, that that man in that picture, is Lucinda’s boyfriend. So

COLTONMy stomach hurt.I couldn’t breathe.I had been running for hours and hours as the police chased after me, showing up at every spot I tried to hide.How had this happened?I had planned everything. It had taken me weeks to do so, but I had put everything in place for the big day. Including all those distractions at Elena’s parents home, and the prank with the him.I had done everything to make sure things went according to plan. But Craig had spooked everything when he had gone inside and probably alerted the police and Jason about what was going on.This was not the first time I had gone to that bank to make a huge transaction. And it was a the fifth time either. But that idiot had chosen to make a big deal out of it. And I wasn’t going to forgive him for what he had done.By the time I was done with Jason and Elena, then i would go to Craig.Deep down though, I knew it was all because of that idiot. He had already made Craig’s transfer that huge sum to his Swiss account. And

JASON“Are you trying to tell me that Colton is involved in this sham too? Because I find that very hard to believe.” Tyler, who was usually reasonable in situation like these, looked like he was about to lose it. And I didn’t blame him. I found it hard to believe too.It was crazy as fuck just thinking about it. In fact, I just wanted to go home and rest already.We had closed all activities today as the police went in search of Colton.He had escaped as soon as Craig had gone into that room to make that call.Probably had panicked when Craig spent a little over a few minutes in his bid to reach me.“I’m as confused as you are, Tyler.” I said, as the guilt that always ate me up began to resurface again.We were currently on our way home as we had closed really early and had decided to head home and wait for any news on the police chase that was going on right as we spoke.“Do you know if he had any kind of animosity towards you are something?” Jane asked from the seat opposite us.

ELENAI couldn’t even believe what was going on as I looked from one brother to the next. What were the odds?I knew it definitely wasn’t a coincidence that the same to y Richardson was the one who had rendered my family broke beyond repair, and had run off with my fathers vast wealth, to go do whatever he liked with it. That was as far as I knew at the moment. My father had claimed that he had known nothing about his were abouts, until his death in that plane crash. “Something doesn’t just feel right about all of this.” Tyler said, looking from me, to Jason, who had gone really quiet ever since he had told me that Tony was his uncle.I cleared my throat and looked at them. “I mean, I’m not trying to say anything to worsen the situation or make anyone suspicious of anyone. But do you think the three of them knew each other?” I asked, staring pointedly at Jason. His frown had been increasing by the minute.“I don’t know, because the only person alive out of the three men, is Thomas.

JASON“What are you talking about?” I asked Jane, dropping the file that I had picked up, babk in its place in the shelf.I made my way over to the computer with a huge frown on my face.What the heck did she mean by me having Elena’s father’s enemy’s picture in her phone?“This man right here.” Jane said, as soon as I reached and saw what she was talking about.But I was in for a shocker, and not just because of who she was pointing to, but what she had referred to him as. “But that’s my uncle.” I said, shaking my head. It was the picture I had taken at Elena’s fathers house with my phone. And since most of the things save in my phone went straight to my email, it automatically showed in my computer which had my email in it.And the picture was one of those things.Jane looked at me like I was mad. “No. I can recognize Tony Richardson anywhere_ “ she paused and looked from me to the picture. “Wait a minute. You are Richardson. And he is Richardson.” Her finger pointed from the me to

JASONI sat in the office with Jane, trying to work on a little problem we were having with two of our plants. For some reason, while Colton had been working as my assistant, he had failed to realize that those particular plants was scheduled for maintenance and would take exactly two days before it could be in use again. And also, he had also omitted that detail when he had been maki g some entries on the particular time we were to make some deliveries.And now, since it was just me, Jane had offered to help me, while Elena was in a meeting. Which I was thankful for, because it was already taking a toll on me. I hated not delivering when I was supposed to.“Do we have any other option? Because at this moment, I think we have run out of every option we have.” I said tiredly.We ventured into a lot of businesses, and while this particular issue wasn’t going to make us actually loose much, but it would affect the other party badly.And I didn’t want that.My father had brought me up in

ELENAI didn’t know what I was doing.All I knew was, I had to have my husband inside of me. I was honey as fuck, and I wasn’t sure that was the way it was supposed to be after the long conversation we had just had, but I guess that’s the situation I found myself.I had acted out on impulse a few minutes ago, telling him everything that had happened with Colton. I had known him hen that if I hadn’t done it that time, I wasn’t going to ever have the courage to do it again.And I could hear Jane’s voice egging me on as I started to speak. Even when I wanted to stop.I had seen Jason’s face show signs of jealousy and anger, but he had managed to sit through all of it, until I was done.And where I had expected anger, or at least, an indication that he was not happy with me, after I was done talking, I had been super when he had taken my hands in his like he had done, and told me what he did.“Don’t start what you can’t finish, Elena Richardson,” Jason said, clearing his throat.
