JASONThere was nothing on the cctvs. Nothing that could help me, apart from the footage of the men in the ski masks that had known exactly what they were doing. Now though, as I still sat in the study with my phone in my hands, I wondered my next move. I had already called the private investigator, and things were already underway, but what was left is deciding whether to still stay in the damn house or just go somewhere else. This was supposed to be a safe place for heaven sake!"I don't think you should move out of your house just because some men came here to drop off a gun." Tyler was saying, after I had asked for his opinion on the next step he thought I should take.I turned to him with a frown plastered on my face. "You don't understand. I mean, I think I can survive on my own, but I'm worried about..." I let my voice trail off as my mind was filled with different scenerios that involved Elena. And they were far from nice.Almost causing a painful squeeze in my chest."Elena
ELENAI was still on the phone with Jane when the bedroom door opened, and Jason strode in.I turned to look at him with the phone still in my hands."I heard a door open and close. And I know that's not you." Jane said. I could here the mischievous and suggestive tone in her voice. There was no need to ask how she had possibly known it was not me who opened the door. "I'll talk to you later. Bye sweetie." She chirped."Yeah....take care of yourself." I replied. I had actually been looking forward to hearing all about her encounter with Tyler. But it seemed like that wasn't going to be possible now, especially when Jason was now striding towards me, having heard me end the call with Jane."Hey.." he said. His demeanor, brooding.I sighed. "Hey." I knew the issue of the gun was still on his mind. I mean, there was no way it wasn't going to be like that, given the circumstances."Jane?" He asked, eyeing the phone that lay beside me as he came to stand just at the foot of the bed.I nodd
ELENA“Maybe you should have handled it better.” I chirped. “Anyway, the only advice I can give you right now, is to go talk to her, and clear things up. I mean, sit down and talk to her like an adult, and not all these jealoirants.” I said, looking at him squarely.Tyler eyed me. “What if she doesn’t want to talk to me?” He asked, looking genuinely afraid.I mean, I knew my friend was scary sometimes, but I knew she wasn’t going to do anything to hurt him intentionally. Besides, she already liked him. But I wasn’t going to tell him that.Tyler was about to say something else, but stopped when he looked at something behind me.I could already guess who it was before I even turned.Jason strolled into the room with a tired look on his face. “Well, that was the longest and most unproductive call I have ever made in my entire life.” He bit out and sat down in front of his food which I assumed was now completely cold. “Why? What happened? What did he say?” Tyler asked, looking at his bro
ELENA"Are you sure this dress is okay?" I asked Jane, who just continued to ransack the hangers for more dresses.We had decided to go shop for our dresses a week earlier, just because we had been bored and Jane had been too excited to wait until the last minute.She stopped what she was doing and looked at me with a raised brow. "Of course it's okay. And you are not the one wearing it, so why have you been staring daggers at the dress?" She asked, rolling her eyes and going back to what she was doing.I sighed and eyed the dress in my hands before putting it down.I had a lot to say about the dress, and many reasons why she should not wear it to the ball.For one, it was very red. Secondly, it left little to the imagination, since it was see through. And finally, I knew my friend liked to dress provocatively on various occasions, but this was just too much.Besides, despite being a ball, it was still an office party."I'm not letting you wear this dress, Miss. It's just over the top
JASONI looked through the side mirror of my car, waiting patiently for Tyler to come out of the airport with our mother. For the umpteenth time, I had opented to drive, insisting on going to the airport to pick both of them. Since he was still in London, he had decided to come together with her. I couldn't help some of the memories that washed over me as I thought about the ball which was the next day. I had been so busy with all that had been happening, that I had actually not really thought about my father.As annoyed and angry as I was at him, I still loved him to pieces. And although I wasn't going to admit it anytime soon to anyone, I missed him. Terribly.The times we had spent together actually meant a whole lot to me.I peeped my brother and my mother stepping out, and got down from the car, just as Tyler was looking around for me. I didn't wait for them to spot me, before I was waving frantically at the pair."Over here." I called out to him, and watched as both he and my m
DELENA"What are you doing here?" I asked with a frown, trying to look behind him to see if he had come with Jason. But there was no car in the driveway, and he was standing with a bunch of papers in his hands."Uhmm...I came to give you some papers that are due first thing Monday morning, which I know is an odd day for everyone, since it is the day after the ball." Colton said with a frown on his face, then tilted his head back to look at me. "Why are you looking at me like you have seen a ghost?" He asked.Well, for one, I wasn't expecting him in my home by this time. "I just....what papers?" I asked, frowning as he pushed the said file to me. "Please come inside." I told him and flipped the files open."I gave them to you last week, but you said some information was missing from them, so I had them fixed and brought them, because they are due Monday morning. I wouldn't like to keep that damn man waiting. He has been hounding me about the deal." Colton said.They where indeed the sa
ELENA“So tell me, how was it like, working with Paul?” Mrs Richardson asked, not really looking at me as she busied herself with the steak in her plate. I had never seen someone eat so modestly in my entire life. She ate like she once lived in the palace or something.And the question she asked, wasn’t one I expected. I had been expecting her to bombard me with questions about my relationship with Jason.I cleared my throat and looked around until my eyes settled on Jason, who wasn’t looking at me, but seemed like he had stilled in reaction to the question his mother asked.“I uhmm…he was good. Quite demanding, but great over all.” I said. Not sure exactly how much I was supposed to say, but concluded that that would suffice.Jason’s mother paused and looked at me with a small smile. “You can say that again. I’ll tell you what..” she placed her fork down and put her attention on me. “I used to work with him when he just started the company. And even though I was his girlfriend at the
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
