JASONI couldn’t move. Even when they tore apart from each other at the sound of my voice, I couldn’t move. I just stood there and watched Elena as the guilt washed over her face.I didn’t understand..what..how?I turned to Colton, who had an expressionless face in the whole matter and just stood there with his hands in his pocket. I knew what he was doing at that instant. He was daring me.We had a deal. And it was off..kinda…And he was dating me to see what I was going to do.Rage filled me, coursing through my veins and bubbling to the surface of my skin, making me ball my hands into fist.Elena made a move to walk towards me, but I immediately stepped back. “Jason..” she whispered, but I was not looking at her, and was instead, focused on Colton. But I could see her from my peripheral view. “Leave…” I said in a cold voice. And when Colton made a move to leave, I shook my head. “Leave. Elena.” I said, and when she made no move to go, I raised my voice at her. “I said you should f
ELENA“Will he be coming back tonight?” Jason’s mother asked for the second time, almost making me shed the tears I was holding inside of me.Why did she have to ask the question I already answered some minutes ago, again?I shook my head, facing away from her. “I’m not sure. I guess we would have to wait for Tyler to call or something.” I told her. Again. While focusing on the scenery as the car conveyed us home.Jane, who sat in the front with the driver, turned and locked gazes with me, before turning back to face the road.I hadn’t even told her what had happened in that garden. Jason had left, Tyler and a security guy, had carried colton to the hospital, and had asked me to go inside to get his mother and Jane, and not say a word about what had happened outside.Like I was going to say anything.When I had gone inside, I had rushed to the bathroom to go freshen up and put on a pretentious face, so they wouldn’t suspect anything. How they had not noticed my puffy as fuck eyes was
ELENA“What?” Jane exclaimed in a low voice from above me. “How the heck could he have done that?” She asked.I raised my head and leaned back on the door. “I don’t even know.” I answered, referring to Colton. “I just knew that there was something off with him that’s past few days, but I let it slide, thinking I was just over reacting and that he had apologized to me already, so everything was okay. And now this.” I shook my head and waved my hand in a wild gesture. Jane looked at me pitifully. “You shouldn’t blame yourself Elena, I’m sure Jason would calm down and listen to you when he comes back.” She said, and pulled me into a hug.But I wasn’t sure. He had looked too angry when he had left. I wondered the kind of confrontation they had had when I had left, that had made them exchange blows to that extent.Another thought came to my mind. And I pulled away from Jane with a frown.“What?” Jane asked as I leaned on the door without saying anything.“Before he kissed me, Colton told
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,
