An Entanglement With The Billionaire Chapter Twenty Three
ELENAShit!I was very very late.I had been so lost and distracted because of that damn wet dream, that I had totally forgotten about my lunch with Jason. It was while I was thinking about what to eat, after my much needed shower, that the alarm bells had gone off in my head. I had quickly donned a small white tank top, and a thigh high leather skirt, with low heeled slippers. Then I had brushed my curly hair into a bun, before slipping on a white men's shirt over my attire. No makeup what's so ever.I was currently hurrying out in the direction Jason had given. I hadn't even realized that my phone had still been on airplane mode, and had switched it off to call Jason, when series of text messages came in.Luckily, he had stepped out of gus own cabin ages ago, for reasons he didn't specify, and was going to meet me at an outdoor restaurant not too far away from the cabin. Which made my outfit the perfect choice for me, since there was no way I would have done anything in heels. I jus

JASONI was beyond annoyed, and has almost left the restaurant for my cabin, when Tyler called. It was his call them at had distracted me from the fact that a certain curly haired woman was keeping me waiting. Nobody kept me waiting. Not in business, and certainly not when it came to personal interests, like women.The fact that Elena was constantly keeping me on edge with her antics, was beginning to get to me.Although, I wasn't going to lie. She had actually helped me on the plane, when my stupid phobia had kicked in. It wasn't something that happened often, as I had gone to a lot of therapy in the past and had been able to control it most of the time.But for some reasons best known to it, it had decided to show up on the most awkward of days, and in the presence of the last person I wanted to see it.I couldn't tell if she had realized or not, or was just being annoying, but she had helped me. It was for that reason I had invited her out for lunch. Just to reduce the tension betw

ELENAI watched Jason as he paced about, talking to whomever he was talking to on the phone. One thing I noticed though was that, whoever was on the phone with him, was making him really nervous.He wasn't smiling, and had an almost constipated expression appear on his face every now and then.I hoped it wasn't to serious though.The only people that could make me look like that while answering a call from them, were my parents, since they scolded a d teased a whole lot. I couldn't imagine Jason Richardson getting scolded and teased by his mother. Although that would have been a sight to behold.Hah!At one point, our eyes met, and we held it for a second or two before I was forced to look away first.We were just tolerating each other at this point. And the sooner I understood that, the better.A very delicious aroma wafted through the air, making my nostrils peak, just before the waitress from earlier came into view, with another waiter behind her.She was carrying a large tray, w

ELENAI needed air.It hadn’t been long since I arrived back in my cabin with Jason going straight to his. We may have had an undeniably nice time at the restaurant and after, but the agreement still stood. Iknfact, we had called a truce, which we had both accepted. But right now, it was left for my raging hormones to actually accept that fact. Which brought me to the reason why I was outside, so late in the night, wondering about. I looked behind me, in the direction of the cabin and bit my lips.I was tempted to knock on his door. I really was.That’s why I needed to be as far away from that cabin as possible.“Hey!” a voice called from my right, atartling the living hell out of me. I jumped, swirling in the direction of the voice, with a hand to my chest.Who the hell was_I was alreasy ready to hightail it ou of there when I saw who it was. My mind immediately calmed down. “you!” I half yelled at colton, who was smiling sheepishly.“diod I scare you?” he asked, giving me a look o

ELENAI laughed out loud at Colton’s joke as we threw stones into the water in front of us.We had strolled and had found ourselves at another part of the lake, different from the area I had first seen him.From where I stood, I could see the restaurant, and boy was it still booming with activity.Didn’t they sleep here?“You haven’t told me why you travelled all the way down here. Did you come for a vacation? Or an event?” Colton asked from beside me.I immediately started to feel uneasy. Yikes. Why did he have to bring that up? We were having a great time, and now I had to answers questions about my life.But what was I expecting?It was going to come up sooner or later.I bit my lip for a few moments, deciding on what answer was best. “I guess I could say I came for a vacation.” I finally said, tossing the remaining stone in my hand. The satisfying sound it made as it touched the water was like music to my ears. “I was giving a whole week off at my place of work, and…here I am.” I

ELENA“Who were you talking to just now?” The deep baritone that pierced through the silence of the night was enough to make me jump. But I recognized who it was, even before I looked up to see a frowning Jason looking frown at me from the platform he was standing.Why was he outside by this time of the night? And why was he interrogation me with such a tone?“Nobody.” I answered nonchalantly and just ignored him, walking up to the stairs that would lead into my cabin. I was tired as hell. And all I wanted, was to lay down and sleep. That’s what I wanted…craved…But I was interrupted as Jason just jumped down casually from the platform and stalked towards me. That made me frown and stand rooted to the spot.“Who the hell was that, and why were you talking to him by this time of the night? Do you know what the time is?” The harshness of his voice, coupled with his words in general, got to me.What the heck was his problem?The air around him was really hostile, and I could tell from

JASONFriday"Have you spoken with her since you left?" Tyler asked, giving me a look that told me that he was about to tell me off.I shook my head. I hadn't spoken to, or heard from Elena since I my crazy outburst the last time we spoke. I had regretted it every single minute since I left, and right now, I ached to see her, but I wasn't going to let my brother know that.No way in hell."No, I haven't." I answered meekly, setting my bag down and using my key card to open the door to my cabin.The scent of orchids filled the air, which I assumed was from the humidifier in the room. I actually liked it.Tyler followed on after me, folding his hands across his chest, as he had already sent his luggages to his own cabin."So, let me get this straight. You leave her on her own for days. And then you don't even call to check in. Yet you are on your honeymoon?" I didn't like the tone of his voice, as I knew it was meant to get to me.But guess what? It was getting to me."You and I know

JASON "You know you didn't have to invite them for lunch right?" I adjusted the lapel of my suit, eyeing my appearance in the mirror in front of me. "There was absolutely no need for you to make the whole situation more obvious than it already is."Tyler, who I was talking to, made a non committal sound as he put on his tie. For some reason, he had chosen to dress up in my cabin. And I have a feeling it was mostly to annoy me."You and I know that Jane knows everything. Besides, it was all in a bid to give you the chance to talk to Elena, after your crazy stunt," he said, coming up beside me in front of the mirror. "You should he thanking me, instead of acting like it didn't work out in the end." The smug look on his face almost made me tackle him, just like I always did when we were kids.But he was saying the truth. At first, she had been reluctant to even say a word during the meal, but she had slowly come around, mostly talking to Tyler and Jane."And also," Tyler continued. "I g

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.
