ELENAI packed my things with Jane tailing behind me. “You should go home and get some rest, Jane. You have been with me for the past few days, and you really need the rest.” I said to Jane as I stood in front of the open suitcase. I had packed enough clothes to last me for at least three weeks. And other essentials too. It was actually getting really late and we were leaning anytime soon.Jane had overworked herself, and I didn’t want her breaking down on me. Despite all of this, we still had to go to work the next morning. The only thing that was going to change, was the house we lived in.I had a love hate relationship with Jason’s penthouse, and it seemed he knew that because Jane had told me that we were moving to a totally new penthouse. And it seemed like Jason had actually forgotten to specify about that when he had come to tell me about moving.“It’s fine, Elena. Like hell am I going to leave you to face all of these on your own.” She said, making me sigh.“I know, and since
UNKNOWN I kinda hated the fact that we had found nothing of real use to us in the two houses we had gone to.Between Thomas, and Paul, one of them had to have hidden the documents we had so desperately searched for. It was those documents that would reverse and undo a lot of things that had happened in the past. And the fact that it was no where to be found, was beginning to irk me a lot.I parked my car front of the average apartment building I had rented, and smiled. Soon. I was going to leave this place and start a new life of our main plan did not work, I hadn’t told my so called partner about the money I had taken. He had always been one to take things slow, and go for the bulls eyes, without looking at other alternatives.I on the other hand, could already see how dangerous what we were doing was. And I needed a backups plan. Which was why I had immediately had Elena transfer that money to me.I got out of the car and put on my smiling face. The face that appeared nice to peopl
JASONI walked into the office feeling tired and exhausted as hell. I didn’t sleep a wink the previous night, and it was telling on me.Tyler and Jane had retired to their room, leaving I and Elena alone. Even Lucinda at some point, had disappeared to go get some rest.I had tried to talk to Elena, but the guilt was still there so I pretended to sleep, and just lay in the bed all night, listening to her as she turned and turned uncomfortably in the bed, until finally, she had slept off.This morning though, I had given the excuse of going earlier to just to check up on the new security team we had assembled for the office. I knew the employees were going to murmur and wonder what was going on, but I wasn’t going to give them any kind of answer whatsoever.I knew we were close to catching who the culprit was. And then our lives could go back to normal.Well, probably.“You sent for me, Sir.” A voice said from behind as I reached the door to my office. So I turned to seen the guard who
ELENAI hadn’t realize what I had done until I saw the red mark on Jason’s lip. It was small, and not so noticeable unless you were looking specifically for it.I had bitten him.And it wasn’t because he had kissed me, but the way he had done it.The amount of possession that’s had gone into that kiss e could only be fueled by anger. And I had felt every bit of anger and resentment in him as he had punished me with his mouth.And there I was, thinking that he had forgiven me and put whatever was going on behind us.“What the heck did you do that for?” Jason asked, his eyes flicking angrily.It was enough to make me cower under his gaze, but hell if I was going to appear weak in front of him.I raised my chin defiantly. “That was me, saying no to you, Jason Richardson. You don’t kiss a woman like you want to punish her.” I said simply, looking him straight in the eye.Gosh, I loved this man so much, but I was not willing to put up with just about anything with him. And now that I thoug
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
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
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
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.
