An Entanglement With The Billionaire Chapter Seventy Eight
ELENAI groaned again as my head throbbed.I had woken up, only for me to see myself wedged between a bookshelf, and an old chair that was used in the library by my mother.I peeked my eyes open, one after the other, and almost cried, when the light from the library ceiling hit my eyes.I shut them back, almost screaming from how painful it felt."Elena!" Jason called, making me open my eyes again, just to see him staring at me with shock from his position, before crouching down next to me, with wide eyes filled with worry."Jason .." I murmured softly and tried to sit up, but was soon sent back to my position as I felt pain in my neck."What the hell happened?" Jason asked, coming closed to me to inspect my body. He placed his hands gently on my shoulders, then lifted one to my face.I blinked, trying the recall everything that happened. "Someone hit me on the head, while I was in this study." I tried to sit up, but Jason held me down. "I saw them break in..." I narrated everything t

ELENAI woke up the next morning, feeling a little bit better. At least, when I opened my eyes, I didn't feel like I was being blinded by the light.I turned, about to leave the bed, when I saw Jason's sleeping form. I decided to stall a little bit as I just watched him.The man was too good looking to be true.Last night, he had told me that he had feeling for me. And I had of course, been flattered that he liked me. But now, as I had awoken this morning, I couldn't help feeling like it was all born out of the incident that had happened the previous night. I mean, emotions had been flying about. He had specifically said that he had felt fear when he had thought that I was going to die. I didn't blame him. We had the oddest of relationships, where love was not in the picture, but there was a picture if friendship lurking around in the corners. And sex too. A lot of sex.So, it was normal for him to say he liked me.Now, I didn't know if I was trying to convince myself that Jason did

ELENAI was shaking when I saw the gun. Jason seemed shocked too, but was handling the whole scenero better than I was as he carefully picked it up and placed it on the counter.When he had asked if I had ordered for anything to be delivered to the house, my heart had suddenly skipped, because, the last time, it had been a prank. And I had heard a lot of scarey stories about things like that, abd Joe they ended badly almost all the time.But sending a gun, was going way too far, even for a prankster.First, someone had done to rob my parents, and barely twenty four hours later, we had seen a gun in front of the house."Maybe you should call the police." I suggested, looking at Jason, who was just staring hard at the gun. A thunderous expression on his handsome face."I really don't understand. Like, u don't know what to make of this. This is like the most unusual shit I have ever encountered in my entire life." He said, frowning.We heard the door, open and close, at the same, causing

JASONThere was nothing on the cctvs. Nothing that could help me, apart from the footage of the men in the ski masks that had known exactly what they were doing. Now though, as I still sat in the study with my phone in my hands, I wondered my next move. I had already called the private investigator, and things were already underway, but what was left is deciding whether to still stay in the damn house or just go somewhere else. This was supposed to be a safe place for heaven sake!"I don't think you should move out of your house just because some men came here to drop off a gun." Tyler was saying, after I had asked for his opinion on the next step he thought I should take.I turned to him with a frown plastered on my face. "You don't understand. I mean, I think I can survive on my own, but I'm worried about..." I let my voice trail off as my mind was filled with different scenerios that involved Elena. And they were far from nice.Almost causing a painful squeeze in my chest."Elena

ELENAI was still on the phone with Jane when the bedroom door opened, and Jason strode in.I turned to look at him with the phone still in my hands."I heard a door open and close. And I know that's not you." Jane said. I could here the mischievous and suggestive tone in her voice. There was no need to ask how she had possibly known it was not me who opened the door. "I'll talk to you later. Bye sweetie." She chirped."Yeah....take care of yourself." I replied. I had actually been looking forward to hearing all about her encounter with Tyler. But it seemed like that wasn't going to be possible now, especially when Jason was now striding towards me, having heard me end the call with Jane."Hey.." he said. His demeanor, brooding.I sighed. "Hey." I knew the issue of the gun was still on his mind. I mean, there was no way it wasn't going to be like that, given the circumstances."Jane?" He asked, eyeing the phone that lay beside me as he came to stand just at the foot of the bed.I nodd

ELENA“Maybe you should have handled it better.” I chirped. “Anyway, the only advice I can give you right now, is to go talk to her, and clear things up. I mean, sit down and talk to her like an adult, and not all these jealoirants.” I said, looking at him squarely.Tyler eyed me. “What if she doesn’t want to talk to me?” He asked, looking genuinely afraid.I mean, I knew my friend was scary sometimes, but I knew she wasn’t going to do anything to hurt him intentionally. Besides, she already liked him. But I wasn’t going to tell him that.Tyler was about to say something else, but stopped when he looked at something behind me.I could already guess who it was before I even turned.Jason strolled into the room with a tired look on his face. “Well, that was the longest and most unproductive call I have ever made in my entire life.” He bit out and sat down in front of his food which I assumed was now completely cold. “Why? What happened? What did he say?” Tyler asked, looking at his bro

ELENA"Are you sure this dress is okay?" I asked Jane, who just continued to ransack the hangers for more dresses.We had decided to go shop for our dresses a week earlier, just because we had been bored and Jane had been too excited to wait until the last minute.She stopped what she was doing and looked at me with a raised brow. "Of course it's okay. And you are not the one wearing it, so why have you been staring daggers at the dress?" She asked, rolling her eyes and going back to what she was doing.I sighed and eyed the dress in my hands before putting it down.I had a lot to say about the dress, and many reasons why she should not wear it to the ball.For one, it was very red. Secondly, it left little to the imagination, since it was see through. And finally, I knew my friend liked to dress provocatively on various occasions, but this was just too much.Besides, despite being a ball, it was still an office party."I'm not letting you wear this dress, Miss. It's just over the top

JASONI looked through the side mirror of my car, waiting patiently for Tyler to come out of the airport with our mother. For the umpteenth time, I had opented to drive, insisting on going to the airport to pick both of them. Since he was still in London, he had decided to come together with her. I couldn't help some of the memories that washed over me as I thought about the ball which was the next day. I had been so busy with all that had been happening, that I had actually not really thought about my father.As annoyed and angry as I was at him, I still loved him to pieces. And although I wasn't going to admit it anytime soon to anyone, I missed him. Terribly.The times we had spent together actually meant a whole lot to me.I peeped my brother and my mother stepping out, and got down from the car, just as Tyler was looking around for me. I didn't wait for them to spot me, before I was waving frantically at the pair."Over here." I called out to him, and watched as both he and my m

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.

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
