An Entanglement With The Billionaire Chapter Eighty Eight
JASON“Tell me what it really was like, working for my father.” I asked, leaning back so I was resting on a stack of pillows, with Elena straddling me. When my mother had asked that question, I had felt like a weight had settled over my shoulders. Elena pulled away, just enough so she was now staring at me, with her hands wrapped around my neck while her fingers were in my hair.“I already answered that question..” she said with a small laugh, looking genuinely confused at me and my question.I nodded. “Vaguely. I want to know how it was working with him. I never got the chance to do so before he passed.” I told her, turning my gaze away from her.I knew she was frowning at me and my words but I didn’t look at her. I mean, I didn’t want her to see through me.“Well, he wasn’t exactly very open, and liked to take his job very seriously. I mean, working around him wasn’t tiring, but I can say I did learn a lot from him in our really short tine together.” She said.“Elena, I grew up wit

ELENAWait ..Was he serious?Did I hear him correctly?My heart thumped wildly in my chest as I stared at him in shock. Something grew within me until it burst, sending warmth all through my body in reaction to what he had just said."Jason....I...uh....huh?" I stammered, unable to say anything coherent.His eyes bore into mine with so much intensity that my eyes almost watered in reaction to his gaze."I said what I said, Elena." He said, licking his lips yet again. "I have fallen in love with you. And I know that this is not part of the agreement that you and I had, but I swear it happened so... suddenly...and I didn't realize it until_" his words were cut short when I stepped closer to him, leaving just a little space between us."I love you Jason." I said, feeling the butterflies swarm in my belly.Jason looked at me like I had just told him the biggest news ever, and in the blink of an eye, drew me to him and covered my lips with his in a kiss that spoke more than words could ev

JASONThe air outside the balcony was exactly what I needed to clear my head.I pulled the chair there as carefully as I could so I wouldn’t make any noise that could possibly wake Elena, and sat on it. My mind was racing.The dream I had just had, weighed heavily on my mind. Who my father was arguing with, remained a mystery to me till this day.I remembered asking my mother what had happened that day, and she had refused to answer me, telling me it was none on my business and that I shouldn’t ask my father about it.She had dragged me into my room and locked the door from inside, while she instructed me to get on the bed with Tyler who had woken up. After that, there were more shouts and loud crashes, before we had heard the front door bang so heavily, and then a car had driven out of the house after a few seconds. I remember being so scared, even when the house had become quiet. My mother had left shortly after, instructing us to stay put.But as the inquisitive kid I was, I had t

ELENA“You look stunning!” Jane said from behind me as she adjusted my coils behind my hair. All I could say was, the hairstylist had done a great job with my hair.I did look stunning, if I could say so myself. “You look beautiful too, Jane.” I told her, smiling at her through the mirror.“I must say, this is the first time we are actually taking this event seriously.” Jane laughed. “That’s because by time last year, you were single as fuck and a mere personal assistant.” She said with amusement, but I could only smile and shake my head.“Well, I guess we would try to have as much fun as we could, tonight, right?” I asked her smoothing out the emerald green dress I had picked from the boutique when we had gone shopping.I mean, it had looked great that day. But tonight, it looked like I was living my dream fairytale life.“Oh, very much so.” She answered, and left my back to go search for something in her bag. “Meanwhile, Tyler asked me to be his date for tonight.” I turned to face
An Entanglement With The Billionaire Chapter Ninety Two
JASONThe moment I saw Elena waiting for me in the living room, I was entranced.My mother had literally chases I and Tyler out of the house, saying we could only come back when they were ready to leave, which was now.She was wearing a dark emerald green dress that shimmered in the light, and contrasted beautifully against her skin and hair. And her eyes…damn… I could get lost in them forever.“You look beautiful.” I said to her, walking over to hug her and kiss her lightly on her lips.“Thank you. You look stunning too.” Elena said, pulling away and smoothing down my suit jacket.I couldn’t resist, so I leaned down just close to her ear so the others wouldn’t hear and whisper to her. “If it were just the two of us, we would be a little late because we would be going back to the bedroom. Or even the kitchen.” I said hotly, picturing just how exciting it would be so do just that.Elena blushed and giggle softly. “Jason!” She scolded, but in her eyes, I could see she definitely shared
An Entanglement With The Billionaire Chapter Ninety Three
JASONI frowned when I noticed that Elena hadn’t still come back to ti the hall. It had been over fifteen minutes since she excused herself to go to the bathroom, telling me to stay with the guests and that she wasn’t going to waste anytime.I checked my wristwatch for the umpteenth time and gritted my teeth while my eyes stayed on the door.I was currently having a conversation with a client we were currently working with, and as much as I tried ti listen to what he was saying, it was just next to impossible as I was distracted.How far was the damn toilet that she hadn’t come back since then?And just how long did it take for women to go ease themselves.“If you will excuse me, I will like to talk to talk to someone. I don’t want them to leave.” I said halfheartedly, hoping my excuse would work as Mr Donavan just seemed to look at me with thoughtfulness before he nodded and moved to the side so I could go. “Thank you.” I told him, and made for the door.Twenty three minutes.That’s

ELENAI walked beside Colton in silence, wondering just why he was not saying anything yet. We had walked for the past two minutes, and were now in a really beautiful garden that had to be a lovers spot, because of how many types of flowers I counted, and the beautiful design of the chairs and everything there. There was even something that looked so much like the damn cart in Cinderellas story. But I couldn’t exactly enjoy the view, because I had other things in my mind.“Won’t you say anything? We have been walking for a while now.” I said, unable to keep my mouth shut. I was growing increasingly uncomfortable with everything, from the silence, to the fact that he had been trying to hold onto my hand from the beginning of our walk, up until we reached the garden. And when he couldn’t, had placed his hand in the small of my back instead.We got to a bench, and Colton stopped, asking me to take a sit. Which I did, feeling apprehensive as fuck.“I’m sorry, I just wanted to get us away f

ELENA“Why? Why did you quit? What’s going on? Did you have a problem with Jason?” I asked, completely confused at what he was telling me.I had been expecting anything but that? Why would he quit his job?Or was it be a if me?Colton just laughed and placed his hands on the backrest of the bench, before staring at me intently. “I had to. I mean, I got a bigger opportunity elsewhere to start up a business of my own. And I guess I took it. Who wouldn’t?” He said, but I was finding it hard to believe him.“Are you sure that’s the reason? Because it’s all so out of the blue.” I said wryly, grateful for the fresh air that fanned me face. Colton nodded. “Of course. What else it there?” He asked, shrugging while his lips curled into a small smile.I sighed. “Have you talked to Jason about it?” I asked. Jason had hired him after we had gotten married from wherever, and if he knew about it, why then didn’t he tell me?Colton nodded again, shifting closer to me. “Yeah. He is aware. We had so

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.
