It's been a week since my movie date with Jason. Things between us are not so great. Jason has stopped touching me. Anytime I try to kiss him or sit on his lap at the office, he rejects me. He anymore, and we didn't see this weekend that just passed. When I asked him why he was not touching me in the office, he said he was being careful so someone wouldn't see us. Jason is the one who said this, not me. I don't know if I did something wrong to cause him to behave this way. I come back from my thoughts once I hear the elevator ding. Jason must be here. Surprisingly today, I came to work before him for the first time in forever.

"Good morning," I say as he passes by my desk. He does not greet back and responds by nodding his head. This is what he does any time I talk to him these days. He either nods his head or just hums. I plan to force him today to tell me what's wrong.

I walk into his office after knocking. I keep his coffee on his desk and walk over to him by the bo

    Jason and I are on our way to my house. Andrew came back with a dress for me an hour later after our conversation.“What are you doing today?” Jason asks while driving“Nothing, why do you ask.”“I am going to see grandfather, and I thought you might want to come with me.”“Of course, you don’t even have to ask. Mr. Crawford is my friend.”“I know, but you will be going to see him as my girlfriend today. It’s different.”“You want to tell your grandfather that we are dating. Are you sure that’s a good idea?”“Why won’t it be a good idea?”“Because he hired me to be your secretary, not to become your girlfriend.”“So you think,” Jason says, chuckling“What do you mean?”“Have you ever wondered why grandfather went through great lengths to make you my secretary?

    After dinner, I spend the whole night in the living room watching TV. I might be exhausted and sleepy, but I don't want to go to bed. I didn't think things through when I said yes to spend the weekend with Jason. I know he will not force me to have sex with him, but he might want to make out with me. It's not like I have never made out before. I have, but I am just worried Jason will not like what he sees when he sees my body. He has been with a lot of women, so he must have definitely seen a lot of beautiful female bodies over the years. I don't think he is going to like my body when he sees it. I plan to stay in the living room till he goes to bed. I know I can't run away from him forever. I just plan to until I feel confident to show my body in front of him.Jason already tried asking me to bed, but I told him I wanted to finish the show I was watching before I joined him. This would be the first time we would be spending the night together. I am not ready yet. I really di

    “I am sorry,” Jason says, with his arms around me while he rests his head on my shoulders.“You have nothing to apologize for. You did nothing wrong,” I say, turning around to face him with his arms still around me.“I did something wrong. I took you for a horrible lunch even though you told me it was not a good idea.”“You didn’t know she was going to treat me like that, so it’s fine.”“I am still sorry.”“I already said It’s fine. I am not angry about it,” I say and kiss him to let him know I am not angry with him. As I said earlier, I am not mad at him. He didn’t do anything wrong except been related to that she-devil.I am about to break our kiss when Jason deepens it. I planned to give him a light peck on the lips, but it seems Jason wants more. He gives my ass a tiny pinch which causes me to open my mouth. His tongue invades my mouth as I fe

    After a stressful day at the office, it's finally time to go home. I’m switching off my laptop when Jason walks out of his office. “Are you ready to go?” he asks as he walks up to me. “Yes, let's go.” I place my laptop in its bag and carry it with my handbag. Jason’s taking me home since I didn't come to work with my car. “How was work today? I hope your boss didn't stress you today out?” e asks, stepping into the elevator. “It was stressful. My boss gave me a lot of work to do,” I say, walking into the elevator with him. “Sorry, sweetheart. As your boyfriend, I promise to have a word with your boss. I’ll tell him to stop giving you so much work,” he says, pressing the elevator button to the parking lot. “Unfortunately for me, my boyfriend is my boss.” “Don't say, unfortunately. It's a good thing I am your boss and boyfriend.” “Really, because I’m not reaping any benefits dating my boss.” “I know, and I’m sorry.

    EleanorJason walks us to his car, we get in, and as he is about to start the car, I grab his hand in mine. I lace my hands with one of his hands and place it on my lap. I use my free hand to draw smoothening patterns on his hand. I feel the tension in his hand reduce the more I continue to rub my finger on the back of his palm. I didn't think it would be good to drive angry. I feel his eyes on me. I lift mine from his hand and lock eyes with him."You are amazing," He says, staring at me with admiration in his eyes.I just smile at him and ask him if he is feeling better."Yes, I am, thank you.""That's good. Do you want to talk about it?" I want to know why he hates Alex, but I don't want to push him to tell me why"Sorry, I don't.""You don't have to apologize. You can tell me whenever you are ready.""Thank you again," Jason says, pecking my forehead. "Let's go. I am sure you are starving.""You don'

    The following day, in the afternoon, I got ready to meet up with Mrs. Sullivan for lunch. I was not looking forward to it at all, but I was prepared to face her today. Once I am done applying my makeup, I take a good look at myself in the mirror before I walk out of my bedroom to meet Jason so he can drive me to the restaurant. Jason asked to drop me off, I could drive myself there, but he wanted to drop me off.Jason compliments my outfit once he sees me. I am wearing an olive green silk slip dress. I matched it with a pair of see-through heels and a black handbag. I dressed a little formal but not too much. I don't want to give Jason's grandmother a reason to insult me. I thank him as we walk outside to the car.The car comes to a halt after a few minutes of driving. I kiss Jason goodbye and walk inside the restaurant to meet Mrs. Sullivan. I find her seated at the right-end corner. I take a deep breath before I walk towards her."Hello, Mrs. Sul

    I walk into Jason's penthouse once the elevator arrives on his floor. Uncle Jack dropped me off a few seconds ago. I say Jason's name as I walk into his apartment but get no response. He must be in his study since he is not in the living room or kitchen. I walk to the kitchen to find something to eat. I didn't even get to order food while at lunch with Mrs. Sullivan. I drop my purse on the counter and open the fridge to find something to eat or cook with. I am sure Jason won't mind me cooking, but I think I should tell him first. I close the fridge and walk to his study to ask him.I knock before entering. I see him working on some papers on his desk. I can't believe even on Sunday, he is working."Hi, sweetheart," Jason says as I walk towards him"Hi, what are you doing?" I ask, standing beside him"Just starting ahead on some work before I travel this week.""Oh, that's true you are traveling on Wednesday.""Yes, I am going to miss you." H

    I look at my reflection in the mirror, I can't help the bright smile on my face as I see myself. The day is finally here. It feels like yesterday Jason asked me to marry him. I can't believe it's been three months since then. I gently rub my growing bump. I didn't want to wait until the baby was born to get married to Jason. I didn't see why I needed to. I love him, and there’s no reason why we should wait before we get married. I even like the fact that my baby is going to be a part of our wedding. You can't really see my bump because of my gown and being just fifteen weeks pregnant. I’m so happy to be marrying Jason today. I pat my hands down my beautiful white gown. My dress is an off-shoulder ball gown exhibiting thin silk threads thoroughly embroidered onto a point d'esprit tulle that provides finishing. I lift my hand and touch the necklace Jason got for me for our wedding today. My jewelry set is a teardrop blue sapphire diamond. Jason said he got it for me because they remind

    As everyone walked to Eleanor’s room, I find it hard to move my legs. I was still in shock that I got Eleanor pregnant. I was always careful with my sex life. It baffled me how she got pregnant. I didn’t use a condom when I had sex with Eleanor because she was always on the pill. She was the only woman I ever had sex without protection than Christine. I always used condoms even if the woman I was sleeping with claimed to be on the pill. That’s why I was surprised Eleanor allowed herself to get pregnant. I know Eleanor didn’t want to be a mother yet. This was all just so confusing! “Jason, why are you standing there?” Evan asks. “Did everyone hear what the doctor said?” “Yes, we did,” everyone replies. “If everyone did, why am I the only one who’s shocked I got Eleanor pregnant?” “Because you’re the one who got her pregnant. We’re just all happy they’re both fine,” Amber says. “Did she tell you she was pregnant?” “No, she didn’t. I don’t even think Eleanor knows she is pregnant.”

    I stay like Vivienne advises. I spend the whole morning at my desk waiting for Jason to call me to his office, but he never does. I spend most of it dozing off, though. I don’t know why, but recently I’ve been sleeping a lot. I find myself dozing off all the time these past few days. I wonder if the stress of everything with Jason and I is exhausting me. It's lunchtime now, and Vivienne and I are on our way out. “Do you think Jason and I will ever get past this?” I ask Vivienne as we take the elevator to the parking lot. “I believe you will. It might take a while, but you will.” “I know it’s selfish of me to wish for a future with him, but I do. I really hope one day Jason will be able to see me and not my father.” “Hopefully, that day will come soon.” Vivienne says, stepping out of the elevator, and I follow her. We drive to the closest fast-food joint for lunch. Arriving at the Subway restaurant, I don’t like anything they have, which is weird because they make my favorite sandw

    I hear Hanna’s footsteps before she enters back into the living room. With every step she takes towards Mrs. Sullivan, I hear my heart beating fast against my chest. My dad died drunk while driving. I know Jason’s parents died because a drunk driver hit their car. Please, God, my dad could have hit anyone the night he died. Please don’t make it Jason’s parents.“Here, you go, son,” Mrs. Sullivan says, placing a file in front of Jason.Jason quickly opens the file. There are pictures inside from the accident.“If you look at the truck that hit your parents and the one with the man holding Eleanor in his arms, you can tell immediately that they are the same ones.” Mrs. Sullivan says, pointing to the pictures. Jason has them laid out on the dining table. “Eleanor, what day did your dad die?”“26th December 2000” I might have been just two years old, but Uncle Jack told me when I got olde

    “Alex,” Jason says, turning around to face him.“What did you just say?” Alex asks, again“Please take a seat, Alex,” I say, pointing to the chair across mine“Is that why you invited me over for dinner? Jason suddenly wants to be friends with me again.”“Yes,”“Why”“I think you should take a seat first. It’s a long story,” Jason says“Alright,” Alex says, taking his seat, “I am listening,” He says once he is comfortable in his chair“I know you must be shocked to see me talking to you calmly for the first time in years,” Jason says“Yes, I am.”“I recently found out you were telling the truth about not raping Christine.”“Really, how,” Alex asks, looking shockedJason tells Alex everything that happened and how he found out he was innocent

    I come back from my thoughts once I hear my phone ringing. I check the caller ID. It’s amber calling. I quickly answer so I can give her the good news.“Hi, Eleanor, how are you doing today? Have you eaten? Did you sleep well last night?” Amber asks once I answer. This is what Amber has been doing for the past two weeks. She calls me every morning even though she is supposed to be sleeping. I am so grateful to have her in my life. She cares about me greatly. I couldn’t have asked for another person in the world to be my best friend.“Have I told you before that I love you?” I say, smiling into the phone.“Eleanor, where is this coming from? Please don’t tell me you want to do what I am thinking. He is not worth it; please don’t hurt yourself. I know the pain feels like it will never go away, but I promise you it will with time. Please don’t hurt yourself,” Amber says, and I hear movement around he

    I listen to Jason’s heartbeat as his hands draw smoothening patterns on my bareback. Jason and I just finished making love. After we released from our first kiss, Jason kissed me again, and before I knew what was happening, I found myself screaming Jason’s name in my bedroom. I missed being in his arms like this. I wish he would never have to stop holding me.“Jason,” I say, into his chest“Yes, love,” He replies into my hair.“I have a few things to ask regarding the video we watched earlier.”“What would you like to ask consigning it?”“How did you get it?”“I am a billionaire honey, getting CCTV footage of a restaurant is not hard for me.”“I know you must have hired someone to get the video for you, but what I am asking is, how did you know your grandmother set you up. Talk more of getting a video of her conversation with Christine.”

  • My Unwanted Billionaire    70. My love

    I drag my feet as I walk to the bathroom to pee. These past two weeks have been the worse two weeks of my life. I have cried so much I feared I would become sick. I didn’t know what Jason meant to me until his betrayal.I have not had a good meal and sleep in days because of what happened. I spend the whole night thinking about him and crying. I never have the appetite to eat these days. Amber, Evan, Uncle Jack, and Vivienne tried to encourage me to eat, but I didn’t see a reason to eat when all I wanted to do was disappear from the surface of the earth. I felt so much pain that I wished I didn’t exist sometimes.I step into the bathroom, and as I pass the mirror, I look at myself. The bones in my neck are more visible than usual. My eyes are bloodshot red and swollen from too much crying. My nose is also red from crying and too much sniffing. I looked like a zombie, to sum it up. I empty my bladder and sprinkle some water on my face before stepping o

    JASON The night of the party… I walk into the gardens where my grandma is having her party. I don’t know what she’s celebrating, but I know I have to attend, regardless. I wish Eleanor had come with me, but I understand why she didn’t. I don’t understand why my grandma can’t see the amazing woman Eleanor is. I hope my grandma sees it one day, and they can finally get along. “Hello, grandma,” I say, hugging her. “Hello, dear. How are you doing?” she asks, hugging me back. “I’m well, and you?” “Good as well, dear. Where is she?” she asks, looking over my shoulder probably for Eleanor. “She didn’t feel like coming,” “That’s good to hear.” she smiles. The smile gracing her face makes me realize Eleanor had no hope with my grandma, as she had tried to tell me before. My grandma didn’t like Eleanor and didn’t bother to hide it anymore. “I’d like you to meet someone, my dear. I ran into her while at the mall a few days ago,” Grandma says, waving her hand toward someone behind me. “H
