Emily's Dilemma: Seduced by Billionaire Brothers Chapter 73
Jackson stared at Emily’s text from seated inside his car from the location he was supposed to meet up with, just a few seconds he dropped the call with Blair asking to see him in the location. Weird. But he decided not to think too much about it, instead he got down from the car and headed inside. Immediately he saw Blair smiling and waving at him, beckoning him towards her. She had a weird nervous glint in her eyes that he decided to ignore for the reason that she always seemed to have that weirdness ingrained in her mannerisms.“Hey sweetie” she got up to hug him, her raspberry scent filling his nose completely, hesitant at first but he returned her hug. Why couldn’t he concentrate? He kept checking his phone, expecting another text from Emily but instead he sent a text back.“What’s wrong?”Why did he feel something was off? There was Blair smiling weirdly at him and being overly affectionate even though they promised to be affectionate with each other in public, and there was Emi

“What the hell happened?!” Ethan stormed angrily into the emergency room of the hospital where Jackson was seated, waiting. He grabbed Jackson by the collar, pulling him up, his eyes dilated in anger.“Where’s Emily?!” he thundered again and Jackson pried himself away from his Ethan’s hold.“Relax damn, she’ll be fine” Jackson said, even though within him he knew he was worried but he didn’t have the strength to deal with Ethan’s tantrum, he was the dealing with the shock of it all.“What do you mean? She’s pregnant” Ethan said and Jackson froze.“What?” Jackson looked at Ethan now, his eyebrows raised and his heart rate suddenly picking up.“Emily’s pregnant?” he asked again and Ethan gave him a strange look“She didn’t tell you, I thought she was going to – ”“She didn’t have the chance to” Jackson said now, the realization suddenly dawning on him. That was why Emily wanted to see him, to tell him she was pregnant?This time, Ethan grabbed Jackson by the shoulder, his eyes conflicte

When Jackson returned later that night to Emily’s hospital room, she was wide awake with her eyes fixed on the television, a slow movie playing.“Hey” Jackson said, his head peeking into the room with a small smile on his face and she returned the smile giddily.“Hey” she said back “come in?”Jackson walked in, flowers in one hand and chocolate in another and he handed them to her “How you feeling?”“Just tired but I couldn’t sleep, I had this movie on but turns out it’s quite interesting” she explained and Jackson nodded, sitting on the arm chair beside her bed as he studied her face. Her beautiful that had remained stuck in his head since the first time he realized she was the girl from the masked ball, and now she was possibly pregnant with his child. He meant every word he had said to Ethan, he wasn’t backing down this time, he was going to for her and he didn’t care the consequences.“Blair?” Emily asked, her eyes watching him and Jackson shrugged.“She’s on the run with Jesse, i

When Emily’s eyes fluttered open, she knew immediately that something was wrong. She could feel it, deep within her bones, the emptiness that encompassed her and radiated through her entire being.Her eyes didn’t suddenly flutter open, it was a slow game. A dull ache festering in her head and in her lower stomach as she tried to sit up but the room was dark and cold. The annoying beep of the monitor kept echoing back at her, the iv still stuck in her hand as she tried to focus an image but it was pitch dark.The panic set it, a cold sweat broke out on her forehead and she gripped the sheets tighter with her heart pounding fast.“Hello” she called out to the darkness but there was no response, only the silence echoes back at her.Suddenly she felt footsteps around her, approaching her slowly. The slow tang of their shoes that she couldn’t tell if it was a high-heeled slippers or a flat sole sneaker, suddenly she couldn’t move, she felt strapped in with icy cold hands gripping her arms

Jackson’s eyes shot open suddenly on the cold hard ground he found himself, a blinding pain shooting across the back of his head and his face. He tried to move but his hands were tied behind him tightly, the edges of the zip tie cutting across his skin. He tried to focus his vision but it was damn near impossible in the pitch blackness. His tongue was dry, and tasted metallic. Confusion clouded his brain as he tried to understand what was going on.What was going on? Where was he? Last he remembered, he was talking to Ethan about Emily and then - shit! Someone attacked him from behind. Panic rose in his chest, suddenly heaving up and down when the door opened and someone walked in, he tried to look up but the pain shot across but he fought through it and balancing himself on his knees.The door seemed farther away from he lay helplessly, so their steps were slow and calculated and almost intimidating, the echoes of their leather boots knocking seamlessly across the wooden floor.“You

It had been two days and Jackson was still – in fact missing. A hushed tension hung in the air, shrouding everyone in a cloak of unease. The news had spread like wildfire, sending shockwaves through the media landscape. Headlines blazed across newspapers, their bold letters acting as a glaring reminder of the fraught reality. Everyone asked questions that there were no answers to, that there was no one to give those answers. Everyone waited amidst the investigations, waiting – waiting for a call at least.The whole family sat together in the Hatton family mansion, Ethan seated close to Emily who had just left the hospital but had been silent ever since, refusing to say a word. What exactly was she going to say? What words were enough to describe the fear that had seized her, held her captive and unwilling to let go. Different scenarios kept running through her head, was it Blair? Did she go through with her plans to actually kidnap Jackson? If so, why hadn’t they called yet? Why had n

“Hey, wake upp!” Jackson felt a splash of icy cold water jolting him upright from his dreamless sleep and his heart went into a frenzy immediately. He looked up and James was staring hard at him, a bright smile on his face followed by a mocking sneer.“You’re not eating?” James said and Jackson stared at the cold plate of spaghetti on the floor, even though his stomach growled intensely with hunger there was no way on earth he was touching that. Jackson stayed quiet, he had been locked there for nearly two days and his skin crawled with grime and a bit of fear, but still there was nothing he could d.,“Okay then” James picked up the food and threw it in a trash bin a few inches from where they stood then when we walked back to Jackson, who hadn’t taken his eyes off him. Jackson mind worked tirelessly, looking for loopholes in a desperate bid to plan his escape. Uncle James had to have a weakness, something that still held his humanity alive. Beneath all those pent up resentment and an

“Oh my God!” Emily sprang up immediately a strange text hit her phone, and she stared at it with shaky hands, her rate instantly going up. It was a location pin from a strange number with a text attached to it‘Don’t tell Ethan’ it saidConfusion clouded her brain, she stared at it long enough waiting for her brain to click.Who could it be? And when it finally clicked like a lightbulb suddenly coming up and lightng up the grey areas in her brain. Could it be - it had to be, it was the only logical explanation.It was Jackson! She looked around her, she was still in the Hatton family house and this time Mr. and Mrs. Had retired sadly to the bedroom.Immediately she bolted for the door but just as she stepped outside she came in contact with Ethan and she stopped abruptly,“Where are you off to?” his eyes didn’t meet hers, and she didn’t want to look at him either not after the spectacle he had caused earlier.“Emily?” he called again when she didn’t respond “Where are you going, it’s

Immediately, Emily made her way to Hatton Tech and went straight to Jackson’s face, she barely knocked before she pushed the door open and coming face to face with Jackson and her heart stopped, almost forgetting how much impact he had on her. She saw the look of shock on his face, she didn’t think she’d be seeing him for a while, not after he had brutally ended things with her.“Emily” he called and she walked into his office, straight to his table and she slammed the pen recorder before him, ignoring the rapid pounding of her heart.Jackson looked from the recorder to her fatigued face, confusion clouded his eyes and he hoped for more words from her but Emily didn’t say a word instead she clicked play and fast forwarding the recording to the particular part she wanted him to hear.“Did you plan Jackson’s kidnap and also try to kill my baby?”“Jackson knew – ”At that point, she clicked it shut and looked into his eyes now, the pain doubling in her chest from what she perceived to be

Emily stood outside the door to Ethan’s pent house while she rang the doorbell twice. It was impossible to explain how she felt but a seething anger was very much at the top of the list. She was very sure of how bedraggled she looked, her hair was tied back in a messy ponytail while she still had on the clothes from the previous days, her eyes had dark circles and she was very much tired but there was one thing she understood, Ethan was indeed the enemy and Ethan was the only reason why she would never be happy.Her head raged with thoughts that felt strange to her, evil thoughts that came from the anger that festered within and she needed to let it out, whichever way possible.Soon enough, the door sprung open and she came face to face with indeed Ethan’s handsome face. He was dressed casually in sweat pants and a t shirt, his hair ruffled like he had just rolled out of bed and his eyes roaming her as he took her in.“If you’re here to ask for forgiveness, you’re a few months too lat

Emily’s world was shattered, her eyes were swollen shut from crying all night from Jackson stomping on her heart in the least way that she expected. Her hands went up to necklace dangling freely on her chest and she wanted nothing more than to throw it off as far as possible but she held unto it, remembering Jackson’s words to her No matter what happens between us, you’re always going to have my heart – and truly she always wanted to have his heart.Her frail fingers tightened around the pendant as she felt the tears fall freely from her eyes, the pain radiating all over again. Her mind went over the times they spent together, the way he held her stare and captivating her with his charming eyes. His daring kisses in public – at the red carpet and every single place to let every one know that he was in love with her and she relished in the thoughts while she sat in her mother’s hospital room as the woman laid unconscious on the bed. Emily held unto her mother’s hands, cold and clammy

Later that night, Jackson stood in front of the Hatton family home as he watched Ethan drive into the building. He stood still, his face void of any emotion whatsoever as he waited for Ethan to highlight his car and walk up to him. He could smell the cockiness from where he stood, and the dirty smirk that was plastered on Ethan’s face as he made his way over to Jackson.“Hello brother” he greeted with a simple wave “How about we go inside for a drink?”“I don’t think that’ll be necessary” Jackson responded, his expression hard and stoic which was just a front for the deep sadness that festered within him.“Fine” Ethan shrugged in response “I didn’t plan on staying that long anyways, so what’s it going to be brother?”Jackson remained silent as he fought to say the next words but Ethan was impatient “Which is it going to be?”“You can have Emily, I don’t want her. She’s your wife after all but I’m going to keep my inheritance. Father chose me for a reason and I’m going to respect his d

Shit!” he cursed underneath drawing Anita’s attention to him and she gave him a look“What’s wrong?” she asked but Jackson sprang up immediately and walked out of the emergency room, immediately he called Ethan and he picked on first ring.“Let’s talk” he said into the receiver “Meet me at the house in a few hours” and he ended the call immediately.**Meanwhile Emily still felt shattered while she sat next to her mother who still laid unconscious and had IV’s running through her vein with the automatic beeping of the heart monitor interrupting Emily’s thoughts but she held her mother’s hands tightly until the doctor walked in.“You must be Emily” he said as Emily stood up to shake his hands “Mr. Brown explained – ”“Is she going to be alright” Emily cut in immediately and the somber l

The silence stood awkward between the brothers for a few seconds, neither willing to speak first but Ethan still had that cocky smile plastered on his face while Jackson couldn’t believe his ears.“What are you on about now Ethan?” Jackson broke the silence first, his demeanor was calm but he was seething inside“You heard me brother, I killed the story and now you owe me. So you have two options, give back everything you’ve taken from me, my wife inclusive or you face the consequences and maybe subsequently a judge for sexual assault, it’s your choice really because at the end of the day everything comes back to me”“You’re insane Ethan” Jackson scoffed.“Right” Ethan said “So what’s it going to be?”“I’m not doing either of that, so you can go to hell”Ethan laughed this time but he wasn’t done “Fine, you’re stubborn but I’ll give you a better offer. You pick between your inheritance and my wife”“Get out of my office Ethan, don’t you have better things to do?” Jackson pointed at t

A few days of strained silence with his brothers and the media blowing up about their fallout over their inheritance with Jackson seeing stringent of information about him on the internet that even though didn’t seem true, had some element of truth in them from his past life. He sat in his office at Hatton Tech that morning scrolling through his media feed, he didn’t want to look at it but yet his phone stayed transfixed to his hands. The different girls, the lies with the element of truth in them –Jackson Hatton is an ultimate abuser – Jennifer HenzOne time at the club, he tried to run his hands up my skirt – MiaJackson took me to a hotel one time and he never called me back – LeahHe’s such an asshole, tried to sleep with me and then my best friend – he did though - MerylI would have never pegged Jackson Hatton to be an abuser but it all makes sense – he groped me at the club – Jane.Jackson stared at his phone wide – eyed, his eyes sweeping through every comment on every post w

Ethan stormed out of the room with his eyes wide with rage and anger that his body couldn’t control. He ignored the frantic call of his mother as he stormed outside. The walls closed in and his heart pounded fast, he couldn’t believe his ears; his father had betrayed him, played him the long game and ended up giving everything to Jackson; his favorite son.He tried recalling Mr. Stanwill’s words even though he never wanted to remember those words but they were stuck in his brain, etched on the walls and unwilling to let go.“ – and to Ethan Hatton my first son, I leave you in charge of Hatton Tech and finally to Jackson Hatton, I leave you in charge of all Hatton Enterprises globally”Globally? In charge of all Hatton Enterprises globally?If Ethan calculated properly this meant Jackson was in fact in charge of him. How outrageous? How insulting? He kicked at the ceramic statue angrily, smashing it further with his foot and even more when he realized that it was his father’s favorite

Jackson stood pensive with his eyes on the ground as the casket lowered to the ground, his eyes weren’t clouded like the dark clouds above but his mood felt just as grey. The silent murmurs, the sad faces that looked like they were staring at him, questioning him or worse still judging him. He looked over at Ethan and those red eyes weren’t deceiving anybody, father wasn’t Ethan favorite person. Father wasn’t his favourite person either, but he was in fact was one of his father’s favorite people and yet there was nothing he could do for him at that moment, not while he was being led six feet under. Jackson wasn’t sure how he felt, he wasn’t exactly broken or sad but he knew there was war ahead and when he glanced at Ethan again, they shared a look that mirrored his thoughts exactly.“You okay?” Emily slid up to him while everyone exchanged pleasantries or condolences, he wasn’t exactly familiar with what was going on because he had managed to escape everyone who looked like they wante
