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
JASON“But he doesn’t have a relative.” I found myself saying, before I could actually stop myself.“Well, the man said so himself, so I couldn’t exactly do anything, Richardson.” Mike said. “Anyways, I guess we would talk later. I’m actually heading home now after staying in the hospital for hours nonstop. I really think I deserve this break.” He did sound tired, and I couldn’t blame him. The man worked like a literall machine.“It’s okay, Mike, we’ll talk later. Have a good rest.” I told him and pretty much hung up immediately after that call.I walked to the study where Tyler was and just went in, closing the door behind me. Tyler, who had been busy with whatever it wa that he was doing, looked up at me with a frown.“You don’t look okay.” He said, eyeing me and going back to what he was doing.He had pretty much been working himself to death since we got home, wanting to look for anything, even while the investigators were already doing their jobs. Tyler wasn’t one to sit down and
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
