JASONI sat in the bar, nursing my drink and feeling really down.By body hurt from the places Colton had managed to land a blow on, but I didn’t care about it. In fact, the pain was welcome, and was the driving force behind my rage.How could she?How could he?How could they?I closed my eyes as I let my mind go back to the time when I had hired Colton.Flashback.“I’ll meet you at the outdoor restaurant at the resort.” I said into the phone, despite Tyler’s warnings. There was no way I was going to stand, and let her destroy everything I had worked for.“Okay. I’ll be there. Give me a few minutes.” Colton said from the other end of the phone, before hanging up.I shit the door of my cabin and made my way towards the resort, enjoying the cool breeze fanning my cheek.Tyler had been on my neck about this particular issue, and for the first time ever, I had to ask myself if my brother actually knew me.Because if he did, he was supposed to know that when my mind was set on something,
JASONTyler looked at me like I had gone crazy. “Are you being serious right now? Elena is the problem? Elena?” He asked in a crazed voice, and turned in his stool till he was completely facing me and leaned over. “Lest I remind you, it was you who thre her to the wolves. I fucking warned you for days that you should let that woman be and just go ahead with dad’s plan. But did you listen to me? You married her and then in your childishness, decided to hire a man, to seduce her and make her commit adultery, since it was the only way you will get back what father left. And mind you, she doesn’t even know about this clause. If you had listened to me and maybe had a conversation with her, where she would willingly plan things with you, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Meanwhile, your dear Colton, is lying in the hospital, unconscious as we speak. And it is all your fucking fault because you decided to think with you anus!” Tyler spat at me, and leaned away from me, banging his hands on the ta
JASONI woke up with a crazy hangover. And believe me when I say it was worse than what I had initially imagined I was going to get.First off, the curtains were shut tight, but the room still seemed too bright, and that was because of the damn walls that where completely white, making the low light that was coming from the other room, bounce off brightly.Tyler had gotten us a suite, with two huge rooms, which I appreciated, as I had literally lost most of my consciousness when I had almost fallen from that bar stool, and had had to be carried through the back door and whisked to the hotel, to avoid the paparazzi that had somehow, gotten the information that we were in that club.If not for the club bouncers who had kept them outside, and had come to inform us when they had gotten to know the reason while they were there, I would have had my pictures plastered all over the damn internet before dawn.I stared at my reflection in the mirror and winced out of pure pity. Looking back at
JASONI woke up about half an hour later to the sound of Tyler calling my name.“Wake up, you. The cctv footage is here,” he said from where he was standing at the entrance of my room. I blinked and sat up, pulling my robe together as I groggily made my way towards him.“Have you watched it yet?” I asked, yawning a little. I was kinda eager to see the footage and know if we were able to get anything this time.Tyler sjooom his head as we went to sit at the desk. “I came to get you as soon as it arrived. And we have some breakfast too thst just arrived. I told you to order for food, but you decided to sleep off.” He said in an accusing tone.I rolled my eyes as I sat down and pulled the plate of scrambled eggs towards me. “I think you are forgetting that I’m going through some shit here, and you are supposed to pet me a little.” I said, picking up a spoon and taking a bite of the creamy eggs.I mean, they tasted good and all, but I didn’t care for food as I was just trying to satisfy m
ELENAI was cooped up in my room all day.Neither Tyler or Jason were back yet, and Mrs Richardson had coincidentally, been called back concerning her art exhibition, and had just left about thirty minutes ago. Although she had been a little bit disappointed, she had gotten to talk ti her sons on a FaceTime which Jane had made, while I pretended to be really busy in my room to avoid questions.But now, as I still continuity stay cooped up in the room, I couldn’t help but feel a lot of self pity for myself.Colton had destroyed what I had with Jason, and I was going to even dig a deeper hole for myself when I told Jason about Maldives. If he ever gave me a chance to talk, I was going to come clean. I was still there, rolling back and forth in by he middle of the bed, when I heard a loud bang from what I assumed was the living room.I forced myself not to shriek as I jumped off the bed and made my way over to the door.I didn’t pull it open immediately, but chose to just listen again,
JASON“Shit!” That’s all I could say as we navigated our way across the stupid traffic that had held us for over thirty minutes.It was all my fault.Tyler had tried to make us go home all morning and afternoon, but I had been adamant in staying back, all because I wasn’t ready to face Elena. I had even been so stubborn that I had taken it out on my own mother.Just how could I have been so stupid?How?Now Elena was in danger. And I was still over thirty minutes away. We had received a call just after she had called, telling us not to bother calling the cops or the two women currently in the house were going to be killed.They had met Lucinda in the house and had put her out before going for Elena.I wondered how they were doing.A notification came on my phone and I saw that it was a text from Elena.She’s asleep now.The message read, and I almost collapsed.“What happened? Who was that?” Tyler asked from his seat next to me. Our driver was doing a great job at avoiding the cars a
ELENAI woke up with a throbbing head and dry throat.Something didn't feel right with me.I looked around, only to find Jason sleeping by my bed side. I frowned.When had he gotten here_shit! The man! He had taken the money and_"Jason!" I managed, sitting up from where I lay, but my voice was too low, so I raised my voice again. This time it was louder, but still cracked.My voice and the movement made Jason jerk awake, and he stared at me with wide eyes."Oh my God, Elena. The drug had such a bad effect on you, I thought!" He hissed and moved closer to me, drawing me into his arms. "I'm going to find him. I'm going to find him and kell him with my bare hands." He whispered haughtily."It's fine. I'm fine now." I murmured, allowing myself to get lost in his embrace. After what had happened between the both of us, I hadn't even thought for a moment that he was going to even cone an inch closer to me."I know. And I'm the happiest person on earth. But that man, I'm going to kill him!"
JASONI stepped out of the room and shit the door behind me, before standing there, clenching and unclenching my fist.It has been really difficult for me to stay in the same room as Elena and not try to ask her to give me a much deserving explanation on what happened between her and Colton. But I just couldn’t.Now wasn’t the time.For now, I had to face the issue we were having now, which wasn’t just abd issue, but a disastrous problem.I and Tyler had decided that there was no way we could stay in the house after what had transpired there. No matter how hurt I was with Elena, the thought I had of her still staying the the same room, made me feel dazed.I was just waiting till they identified that man do I could strangle him with my bare hands.He had come without an accomplice and has made a point of making it seem like he wasn’t alone. He had trashed everything in his way, had rummaged through the study without actually collecting anything apart from a single sheet of paper, which
