JASONDue to the time difference, I got back a little after 3am, knowing fully well that Elena was going to be asleep, which was okay by me.I didn’t want to have to explain to her about my whereabouts. At least not when my eyes were almost closing and all I could think of, was sleeping.The meeting with my mother had actuall been relaxing, and I was glad I went there, despite her insisting every now and then, that she wanted to meet Elena.I groaned as I kicked my foot against a vase, just before the beginning of the staircase that would lead me to the bedroom.If there was one thing I hated, it was the pain that came with kicking one’s toes. I would rather take a punch. And to think I had taken of my shoes immediately I opened the door, just so I wouldn’t make much noise as I climbed up.I cursed in annoyance, wiggling the toes and started advancing towards the top of the stairs. It was in the haze of my annoyance, that my eyes caught sight of something that lay on the floor.It was
JASONI was sitting in the office, contemplating on whether to go talk to Elena or not about the previous might, since I had woken up really late and hadn't met her in the house, when the door was pushed open with so much force, that it banged really hard against the wall.I jolted out of my thoughts and seat, to see Bethany walk into the office with the most innocent and calm expression ever, while Colton rushed in front behind."I told you, you need to have an appointment, before you get in he_" he tried, but she just interrupted him with a raised hand."And I told you I don't need an appointment to come seey fiance." She said with a sly smile on her face.I raised my brow at what she had just said, and opened my mouth to say something, when Colton beat me to it."Excuse you." He said, then looked from me, to Bethany.Jeez. I didn't need this right now.I walked around my desk, and met her in the middle of the very large office. "It's okay, Colton. I will handle it from here." I fin
ELENAMy question was left unanswered as the moment I finished speaking, Jason just casually walked past me, making me look at him with a frown, and instead of leaning like I thought he intended to, just turned the lock of the door.Okay…I wasn’t expecting that at all..“What’s going on? Why did you lock the door?” I asked as he just stood with his back to me, and his hands still on the door.Okay…now he was making me worried.I had been in a meeting with some of the junior staff in the lowers floor when I had first started to notice the whispers going on on that floor. At first, I had thought it was just normal office gossip or they had seen something on the internet. But once I they had started staring at me, I had gotten suspicious as fuck that whatever it was that was going on, had something to do with me.I had been on my way up, heeling conscious as hell, when I had heard someone mention something about a woman coming to Jason’s office to cause a scene.My guess had instantly g
JASONI didn’t know what I needed until I kissed Elena.Once I did, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt at peace.And…I wanted to be inside her.But we were in the office, and that went against every principle I had…Gosh.Elena pressed up against me, letting her hands fall to my chest as she pressed. Fuck…it felt so good.“Hmmm…Elena…” I whispered against her lips while my hands busied themselves with her butt. How were they so soft, and yet so firm at the same time?“Hmmm?” She said, sounding distracted.I pulled away, trying to keep myself from doing the unthinkable, like placing her over my office desk…shit. No.“Fuck..I want you.” I said, rubbing myself against her to show her just how much I meant what I said.She licked her lips and looked up at me.“So…what’s stopping you from having me?” She asked, with her lips raised in a mischievous grin. And there were those glints in her eyes.Only this time, I could tell whatever it was she was thinking about,
ELENAI adjusted my clothes, making sure to straighten out the creases on them, as much as I could, do no one, especially Jane, noticed anything odd.Damn.I couldn’t believe I had done what I just did. Never in my wildest dream would I have done that. Never.I had behaved like I had been on drugs, just doing what my body was telling me to do, and it had been the best thing ever.Jason was in the office, as his phone had continued ringing, till he had had no choice than to pick up, when he had seen who it was.I had just rushed to the small bathroom in his office to take care of my clothes.I stood in front of the bathroom mirror and stared at my reflection.The reflection in the mirror pretty much showed a woman that looked calm and collected. Which was the direct opposite of how I felt.I inside of me was a turbulence of feelings.Jason had awoken something inside me. And it had all fallen into place when he had hugged me. Bit I had only realized it when after we had ridden each oth
JASONI had decided to wait for Elena, so I could drive her home myself. It was the first time since our marriage that I was doing that, and frankly, I enjoyed the ride."Did you order for anything?" Elena asked as I turned the steering wheel towards the area I wanted to park in.I frowned. "No, I did not. Why?" I asked, not really looking at her as I waited for the automatic door of the garage open after sensing the car in front of it. I had decided to drive back from work and give the driver a much break, since it would give me time to spend with Elena.She pointed towards the front door. "Well, there is a package waiting for you right in front of the door." She said, making me look towards the door, and sure enough, there was an envelope just laying casually in front of the door.Which was not supposed to be so, since I had other staff in the house who would have collected it for me. Like Lucinda."Maybe someone dropped it. That doesn't look like a delivery to me." I said, and unbu
JASON"What the Fuck are you playing at by sending these to my house?" I asked, eyeing the blank pictures in my hands.She had been the only person to cross my mind, since she had literally told me just a few hours ago, that she was going to deal with me. And although it seemed childish to me, I wasn't going to tolerate it."What the heck are you talking about?" Bethany asked, sounding surprised. "And here I thought you were calling me because you had had a rethink of our situation?""We do not have any situation, Bethany. Whatever we had is over and done with. The next time you pull such a stupid move on either me or anything that concerns me, you would not like what you would see." Although my voice was calm, anyone could hear the threat in it.Bethany gasped. "You bastar_" I didn't even let her finish, before cutting her off and plopping down on my chair, seething mad.The hell was this shit!I had immediately thought of her because at a gathering I had been with her and her friend
ELENA“WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS IN MY OFFICE?” I asked Colton, who had walked in for the third time that morning, holding papers for me to sign. My statement was meant to be a joke, but the more I looked back, the more it wasn’t. There was always on reason or the other for him to be in my office, and it was indeed making me feel a little bit off.Colton placed the papers on my desk and just smiled. “That would be because I like you, and cannot be away from you for a minute.” he said, winking at me.A week ago, when we had just met, I would have taken that as a complement. But right now, it only increased my discomfort around him, and made me deeply uncomfortable.I laughed it off, taking the papers and pretending to look into them. “Okay then, I will just look at these, and send it over.” I told him with a nod. The man needed to get his shit together, and stop saying things like these to me, especially when we had our little thing from before, between us."Fine, but i also wanted to tell yo
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. S
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. The hand
