“WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS IN MY OFFICE?” I asked Colton, who had walked in for the third time that morning, holding papers for me to sign. My statement was meant to be a joke, but the more I looked back, the more it wasn’t. There was always on reason or the other for him to be in my office, and it was indeed making me feel a little bit off.

Colton placed the papers on my desk and just smiled. “That would be because I like you, and cannot be away from you for a minute.” he said, winking at me.

A week ago, when we had just met, I would have taken that as a complement. But right now, it only increased my discomfort around him, and made me deeply uncomfortable.

I laughed it off, taking the papers and pretending to look into them. “Okay then, I will just look at these, and send it over.” I told him with a nod. The man needed to get his shit together, and stop saying things like these to me, especially when we had our little thing from before, between us.

"Fine, but i also wanted to tell yo

    JASON“You look like shit.” I said to Tyler, who for some reason, had flown over to NYC to come see me. It wasn’t very often he did that, but this time around, he looked really stressed. There were visible bags under his eyes which made me raise my brows in concern.“That’s because I’ve been trying ti close this deal I have, and the man in question is such an asshole.” He said, calling the bartender over to get him a drink.We had decided to meet up at a club, which wasn’t far from where I had just had a meeting. “I did tell you that there is a good chance that that job might not be worth it, Ty.” He had told me about the deal, but I had declined, telling him that I already had my hands full at the moment. Which was true.Along with the various clients we had, we still had the company’s annual ball which wasn’t so far away, and as much as I tried not to be affected, I was beginning to feel the absence of my father.We were not close. He had hurt my family….but…I had never gone to this

    JASON“So, what’s stopping you from getting her back?” I asked, taking back my cup from him.“I don’t fucking know man. I just don’t know how to face her now, after imposing the issue of the onetime thing to her, despite knowing she also wanted more.” He said, looking away from my direction, and towards the almost empty bar.I sighed then. “Well, the only thing I can tell you to do right now, is to talk to her. Tell her exactly how you feel, without sugarcoating anything.” I said.Tyler chuckled, although I could tell it wasn’t out of amusement. “Okay.” He said and shrugged. “How about you? How is the thing with Elena?” He asked, changing the topic straight away, to one I didn’t want to talk about.“Fine. I mean, she hasn’t shown any sign of wanting to cross us yet.” That part was true. But the other part that was left unsaid, was making my heart flutter like crazy.“Hmmm…” Tyler eyed me. “That wasn’t what I asked….And…you aren’t doing a good job of hiding how you feel.” He said so ca

    ELENA"I just saw Colton leaving your office with a face that looks like you took away his ice cream right from his mouth." Jane said, as soon as she entered the office and closed the door.For the first time since I knew her, she was wearing a skirt that was so long, it passed her calf. And if I could recall correctly, that wasn't what she had been wearing when I had seen her last that same morning g. But her figure was to die for, and she looked good in everything, including this skirt.I was so invested in the dressing that I didn't even bother with what she had said and instead cocked my head to the side with my eyes trained in the skirt."You look really different." I told her eyeing the skirt.Jane scrunched her nose in a very cute manner and walked over to the couch which was fast becominh her favorite place in my office, and sat down, tossing her heels and placing her legs on the couch."Don't even remind me about it." She huffed, leaning on the arm of the chair. "Could you be

    ELENAI looked at my phone and frowned, reading the text message Jason had sent to me.Apparently, he was going he to do something important, and wasn't coming back to the office till later. Which also translated to me, handling the meeting he was supposed to handle at the office. I had envisioned myself sitting behind the scenes, while I ogled him to my satisfaction."Just say you want to add to my already full plate at work." I said to the phone as I typed in a reply that was just a simple 'its okay'. Jeez.The idea of having two CEOs in the company, had to have been the most ridiculous thing in that agreement. Paul could have just left me as his personal assistant so my job could have ab actual definition."What's wrong?" Jane asked from opposite me, sipping from her cup of tapioca pearls and whatever the drink was called. I hadn't even had enough appetite for the actual food, but had managed to eat it since it was really delicious. But when it had come to dessert, I couldn't stom

    ELENAIt was almost past six in the evening, when I got back to the house, and that was because, I had waited for Jason, who didn't show up at the end of the day. The meeting had gone quite well with me sealing the deal without any much convincing on my part.I sighed tiredly and got down from the car, waving the driver goodbye, vefor walking towards the door.It opened before I reached it, revealing Lucinda, who was on her way out. She greeted me with a warm smile, to which I replied and offered to help me with my bags."No thanks. I can manage." I told her, respectfully declining her offer. I knew she was on her way home, the bag she held was an obvious evidence.Lucinda sighed. "I will be on my way then, if you do not need anything." She said and turned to leave, but I stopped her."Is my husband in?" I asked, eyeing the house as I wondered why he hadn't come back to the office like he had said he would."Oh, Yes. He is." She said with a nod of her head, then looked at the wristwa

    ELENAWe didn't make it to either the shower, or the bath, before Jason covered one of my breasts in his warm hands and squeezed, making me moan out loud in pleasure as he allowed his thumb slide over the hard knob of my nipple.He pulled away from the kiss, bending down to take my nipple in his mouth, and sucking very hard. I felt like my head was spinning as I tried to stand on knees that were weak like jelly.Fuck...the fact remained that this man had so much per over my body, and just the mere touch of his fingers did crazy things to me.I used one of my hands to grab his shoulder, supporting my weight so I my legs won't give and send me crumpling to the ground.Jason released the nipple with a loud plop sound, and took the other nipple in his mouth. This time, I threw my head back and moaned, curling my toes as the sensations hit me all around.He managed to move us so I was now leaning on the wall, while he continued his ministrations to my body."Oh.." I moaned as I felt his te

    ELENAI woke up the next morning to find myself all alone in the bed. One look around the room told me that Jason was not there.With a groan and weak joints, I rolled out of bed and pulled on the robe to cover my very naked body.Where had he gone to so early in the morning? The clock on the wall opposite me, showed that it was a little bit past five in the morning.With a yawn, I walked to the door and pulled it open, stepping out of the room slowly. Damn. I still wanted to sleep. But my stomach was saying otherwise.I padded down to the kitchen, hungry as hell, even if I had eaten to my feel the previous night, courtesy of Jason.After our very exciting time in the closet and in the bathroom the previous evening, he had taken me to the bath, and had run a hot bath for me, complete with scented flower petals. After that Jason had taken his time, scrubbing every inch of my body, while following it up with kisses.Once he was done, he had rinsed us off and taken me back to the bedroom

    ELENAI waited for some minutes, just to give Jason some time to be done with his call, before leaving the kitchen to go after him. Tyler had tried all his best to indulge me in a conversation, but I wasn’t having it.I knew Jason was right with his idea, but like hell was I going to just go ahead with it like a meek little mouse.I knew he had gone into the bedroom. I could hear him shuffle around from outside the door, which was not completely closed, so I took a deep breath before going in.“Jason, I don’t think it’s a good idea to just barge in on my parents like that without any prior notice.” I started to say. Jason stopped whatever it was he was doing at the other side of the bed and turned to face me. “Well, you better notify them now. Trust me on this one, Elena. C’mon.” He walked around and came to rest his hands on my shoulders, looking me in the eye.I raised my hands and held onto his wrists. “Look..I’m scared okay? I’m scared that they would notice that something is off

    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.
