The Billionaire's Unexpected Engagement Jason Is Back
Chapter 54 Janet “I knocked on Anna’s bedroom door. There was no answer, but I went in anyway. Anna was sitting up in bed, staring at her phone. She didn’t look up as I came in “Hey,” I said. She looked at me. “ It’s still trending.” She said sadly. I took the phone from her. “Stop looking at social media. It will only make you miserable. Whatever they think is their headache.” I switched off the phone. “Everyone is taking about it.” She began crying. “So? Who cares. They are no angels. Stop crying, pull yourself together. Here, I brought you this, they are your favorite.” I handed her the box of chocolate. But she stared at them. I was worried. Anna was never too upset to eat chocolates. “Listen Anna you have to pull yourself together, not falling apart. Success is the best revenge.” “I know you think this is karma right?” She asked. “No I don’t. I think we both got played by an asshole.” “I really loved him. I thought he loved me.” “He didn’t, and he ca

Chapter 55 Janet “What the hell are you doing here?” Kevin demanded. “Jason, I thought you were in New York?” I asked. “I am just getting back, see.” He pointed to the traveling bag he was holding. “You should have stayed in New York.” Kevin said annoyed. “Then I would have missed this hot moment.” He grinned. “Besides, I have an interview here on Monday. Looking hot Janet, very hot.” “Thanks.” I said. “Well we better-“ “You guys here for the governor’s party?” He asked. “None of your damn business.” Kevin snapped. “Why? I want to join the party.” “Were you invited? It’s an invite only party.” I told him. “I will find a way, I love a good party. You remember how we use to party, right Kevin?” “Get out of here.” Kevin clenched his fists “Of my hotel?” He laughed. “I’m staying for the party. Any chance of rubbing our bodies on the dance floor Jan?” He asked. “Shut up.” Kevin took a step towards him. “Cut it out you two.” I said annoyed. “Let’s go Kevin

Chapter 56 Kevin “Move in with you?” She asked, staring at the key inside the box. I nodded. “ It’s a spare key to my place. I want us to live together. I am tired of only seeing you sometimes. I want to wake up to your beautiful face every day?” “I don’t know what to say?” She said. “Say yes.” “I don’t know Kevin, would living together be a good idea?” “Sure! You will cook my meals, do my laundry, clean my house-“ She punched me in the chest and I laughed. “Seriously I think the time is right to live together.” I said. “It is kind of sudden. I love staying home, with dad and Fran and Anna too.” “More than with me?” I asked softly. “No, I would love to live with you but, I don’t know.” “Take the key and think about it, please.” “Alright I will.” She picked up the key and put it in her purse. “You have 24 hrs.” I told her. She punched me again and we both laughed. She looked so beautiful I couldn’t resist. I moved towards her and kissed her, she resp

Chapter 57 Janet It was nearly 1am before I got home. Fran was waiting up for me. “Sorry I kept you up late.” I apologized. “It’s okay. I can see from your blush you enjoyed yourself?” I laughed gently. “ I did. Dad and Lois are back?” “Yeah they came in nearly an hour ago, they are in bed, and it’s time for you to go too. Good night.” “Good night Fran.” I went to my room and quickly changed into my night gown, then lay down, dreaming of Kevin’s touch and his hot kisses all over my body. I was in love with him. I couldn’t deny it. I hadn’t loved Tony or even Evan, the way I loved Kevin. He set my body on fire with just his touch. But would I feel the same way living with him. What would living with him be like? I looked at my finger. My engagement ring shone. It had started out as fake but was now all too real. But moving in with him, wasn’t it too sudden? I was awake half the night, thinking about it. When I finally slept off, I didn’t even hear my alarm ri

Chapter 58 Janet “So what will it be?” He asked me. We stared at each other. I itched to slap the smirk off his face, but I remembered what I had told my dad about self control. I had to practice what I’d preached. The company reputation was more important than my hatred of this asshole. Still glaring at him, I slowly sat down. “I thought so.” He sat down across me. “I don’t know why you are surprised, weren’t you expecting me?” I wasn’t. I knew a representative of Sands Ltd was coming, but after the last time he’d come here, and the way I had treated him yesterday, I thought he would have asked to be replaced. But no, here he was annoying me. “You sure are looking good babe.” He grinned. “Say what you have to say and get going. I am very busy.” He laughed. “I knew you wouldn’t let your personal feelings get in the way of business. You were always a professional, that’s one of the things I love about you, aside being a great kisser.” “Stick to the business that bro

Chapter 59 Janet “Tony,” she said. I felt sorry for her, seeing her eyes brighten on seeing the jackass, then narrowed as they dropped to the empty cardboard boxes and soda cans on my desk. “What is going on here?” She asked suspiciously. “None of your business.” He said, glaring at her disdainfully. “Tony and I were just finishing a meeting and he is just leaving.” I said firmly. “Meeting? What meeting?” She asked. “He is a rep of Sands Ltd.” I grimaced. Anna turned pale. “ Since when?” “Since forever, not that it is any of your business.” Tony said scornfully. “Please Tony, we need to talk.” Anna pleaded. “Talk to my lawyer.” He snapped. “Like Jan said, I am on my way out. See you Jan.” Tony pushed past her and left. She stood for a second, then hurried after him. “Anna!” I called. I sighed and dropped into my chair. I hated the fact Anna was acting so desperate for a jerk who didn’t give a damn about her. She was going to end up hurting herself even mo

Chapter 60Janet“Hmm…this is delicious.” I said as I finished the last of the meal. It had been exotic and delicious. The candles making the whole thing very romantic.We sat side by side on the couch, sipping wine. “Hmm… you sure know how to spoil a girl.” I giggled.“No, only this girl.” He smiled.“Let’s do this every day.” I said snuggling next to him.“Your wish is my command.” He said. “I love this, where did you get the idea?”“I dreamed it up. I’ve dreamed up so many things I want to do for you. Funny enough, I have never been this creative with any other girl.”“And why is that?”“Because I have never loved any girl the way I love you.” “I love you too.”“So it’s a yes?” He asked hopefully.“Can I think about it a little more?”“If you have to, but I am sure stage three will change your mind.”I laughed. “ What could be better than this?”“You will know by tomorrow evening.”“I can’t wait.”He poured the last of the wine.“I have dated two men and they were

Chapter 61 Janet Now I had made up my mind to move in with Kevin, I couldn’t wait to tell him. But it won’t be over the phone. I wanted it to be face to face, preferably over lunch or dinner. I was awake before dawn but lay dreaming of what life with him would be like. Here Fran looked after me, with Kevin, would I have to do chores, or would he? Or would the chores be shared? I grimaced. Kevin didn’t look to me like he could do even the basic chores. He once told me a cleaning agency sent an employee over every week to clean his place, and he ate out most of the time. Would we still keep that arrangement if we lived together? The thought of suddenly being domesticated excited and scared me. Another thing that scared me was telling my family I was moving out. Dad would be sad, but he won’t stop me if he knew it was something I really wanted to do. Lois would be happy to see me go, but I worried how Anna would react. I didn’t want to rub my happy relationship in her face.

The Billionaire's Unexpected Engagement This Is For Real
Chapter 155JanetIt was nearly 4pm when I finally closed my laptop and leaned back in my chair. I massaged my neck gently to ease the tension.It had been a very busy day. I had spent it running from one meeting to another and answering phone call after phone call.Everything had fallen on me as the only Benson in the company right now. The newly wedded couples were away on their honeymoon and weren’t expected back till the end of next week. Which meant I had a lot more stressful days ahead. But I didn’t mind. The thought of Dad enjoying his honeymoon because he knew I was here to handle any problem was all the motivation I needed.I yawned and stretched, then decided to call them and see how they were doing. I called Anna first but she didn’t pick up. But from the pictures she had posted on social media this afternoon I knew she and Justin were having a great time in Florida. I called my Dad."Hey Dad!"“Hey honey, how are you doing over there?” Dad asked."Great and yo
The Billionaire's Unexpected Engagement Busy Bee
Chapter 154 Janet The room was filled with people. My family, friends, coworkers, and company staff were all there. A banner with, Welcome Home Janet, was hanging on the wall. “Welcome home sweetheart.” Fran, who was standing besides me, said hugging me. “You knew about this?” I asked Kevin who stood behind her. He smiled mischievously and shrugged. I was really surprised and pleased. The last thing I had expected was a welcome home party with so many people turning up. I walked towards the crowd of people and received a lot of hugs and kisses. “We were so worried about you Miss Benson. I am happy you are alright.” My secretary Dani said. “Thanks Dani. I am happy to be back.” Someone handed me a glass of champagne and I sat on the couch with Kevin, watching the people who had come to celebrate my homecoming. “Okay Jan,” Gina said sitting on the arm on my chair. “ I want the whole story. Everything. How did you fall into the hands of those psycho?” “

Chapter 153 Janet I was brushing my hair when Kevin walked in. “Hey beautiful! Wow you are ready so soon?” He asked. “Yeah. I can’t wait to get out of here.” He laughed. “ Why the rush?” “Are you even asking? I have been here for a week. It is a miracle I am still sane. You know I hate hospitals.” I said. “Sorry but the doctor wants to keep you here a week more.” He said. The look on my face made him explode with laughter. “Joking babe, I am here to take you home.” He walked over to me and kissed me. “I still can’t believe that nightmare was just a week ago.” He said gently. I couldn’t believe it, but it was. A week ago I had escaped from Lois and had been airlifted to a hospital in Dallas. I had awaken from hours of unconsciousness, to find Dad, Fran, Anna and Justin around me. “She is awake!” “Honey are you okay?” “Jan thank God.” “We were so worried-“ Their had all been talking at once and struggling to hug me. I watched then tongue tied, not sure
The Billionaire's Unexpected Engagement Escape Plan
Chapter 152 Janet “Hungry?” Lois asked me, waving a chicken wing in my face. I glared at her. There were hundreds of choice names I would have liked to call her but the gag in my mouth stopped me. We were in a motel, even more dirty and rundown than the previous one. I was sitting on the bed tied up and gagged. Lois sat on the only chair eating chicken and drinking soda. The greedy bitch hadn’t given me any food or water since we had arrived the evening before, and it was now well past midday. After she had knocked Jason out, she had dragged me from the bed and put a jacket around my shoulders. “Make any wrong move,” she said pointing the gun at me. “ And you are history.” We walked out of the room side by side, the gun sticking on my ribs. The motel was almost deserted. She unlocked the car and pushed me into the back seat then got behind the wheel. She made a call to the cops telling them to hurry to the motel because, Janet Benson and her kidnappers were in room 1
The Billionaire's Unexpected Engagement To Pay Or Not To Pay
Chapter 151 Kevin I was awaken from a restless sleep by my ringing phone. It was a week since Jan had gone missing and it had been a week of hell for her loved ones. Her kidnappers hadn’t called again and we weren’t sure why. It would have been easier if they just made a ransom demand. We would have happily paid it. As usual I had been with the Benson’s all afternoon hoping for news, but there was non, not even from Breed. I had stayed up till after midnight thinking what to do, before falling asleep on my couch. I groaned and fumbled for my phone on the coffee table. “Hello?” I mumbled. “Kev? It’s me. I have got news. They’ve found Jason.” I jumped up immediately. “Where?” “The cops got an anonymous tip that led them to a motel outside of town. They found him unconscious in a room. Someone had knocked him out.” “And Jan?” “No sign of her or Lois. The desk clerk said a woman paid for the room a couple of days ago, which was the same day the cops raided the house w
The Billionaire's Unexpected Engagement Double Cross
Chapter 150 Janet “Couldn’t you just make the ransom demand already” Jason asked. “ What are we waiting for anyway?” Lois, who sat by the small desk eating a hamburger, glared at him. “The longer we wait, the riskier it becomes. Make the demand, get the money and let us fly to Canada like agreed.” He continued. “Will you shut the fuck up!” She said angrily. “ I don’t need your advice! You have done enough, so shut the fuck up!” “It’s not my fault everything isn’t going according to plan.” He said. “Really?” Lois said controlling her anger. “ So whose fault is it?” Jason looked uncomfortable. “Tell me Jason, whose fault is it? Who stupidly used their phone to make a call that was traced and nearly led to our capture, hmm? Whose idiocy caused our plans to be derailed? You! You had three jobs, shut up, listen, and obey my instructions. But no, you had to be a dumbass and now look.” “All I did was call Watson to annoy him a little. You called Benson didn’t you?” Jason
The Billionaire's Unexpected Engagement Just Missed Them
Chapter 149 Kevin Day four, and still no sign of Jan. To be fair the cops were doing all they could. The day after Jan went missing her car had been found abandoned in a supermarket parking lot. The cops had combed the area but no sign of her. We had given them the footage from Gabhill’s carpark and they had gotten to work. Pictures of Lois and Jason were all over the media and Gabriel was offering a reward for information on the kidnapping. Yet nothing, no sign of her. I had called Breed almost non stop, nearly driving the poor guy crazy and pressuring him to find something, anything that could lead us to Janet. I hadn’t eaten or slept since it happened and I couldn’t concentrate on work. All I could think of was getting her back. I spent most of my day at the Benson’s house, with Jan’s family. We all sat waiting anxiously for Lois or Jason to make contact. I was at home now, my dad had insisted I take time off till we found Jan, pacing about my apartment, half out of my min
The Billionaire's Unexpected Engagement I Have Plans For You
Chapter 148 Janet “Hey Lois.” I said casually and bit a slice on pizza. I couldn’t see much of her face,but I knew she was wearing a short dark wig and I guessed contact lenses. Another one of her disguises. She seemed a little disappointed by my casually behavior, as if she had expected me to faint from shock. “You are not surprised?” She asked. “ Or perhaps Jason has told you already?” “I didn’t.” Jason said “No he didn’t. But still I am not surprised.” And I wasn’t. “ I knew you weren’t dead. Everyone, even the cops, thought you were but I knew you weren’t.” “You always were a smart ass. Unlike some people.” She turned to Jason. “ You have been made!” “What? How? Nobody saw-“ “The carpark has cameras dumbass. Your picture is all over the media.” “But you never mentioned cameras.” “I never mentioned traffic may be on the road, but I am sure you looked both ways before crossing. Didn’t you?” She snapped. Jason paled. “What do I do? How do I go out if they ar
The Billionaire's Unexpected Engagement Captive
Chapter 147 Janet “Hello! Can I get some water! Hello!” It was day two of my imprisonment. I had come to and found myself alone in a basement, lying on a small torn mattress. My right wrist was chained to the wall. It was cold and dark, except for a stream of light coming in through a crack in the single, boarded up window. The place was dirty and untidy, but there were no rats. I hated rats. Aside the humiliation of being chained up, and a slight heaviness in my head, I wasn’t hurt in any way. But I hadn’t had any food or water since I had been in here, and I still had no idea who my captor was or were. At first I had tried screaming but I found out I was wasting my energy. The sound only echoed back, so I gave up. I tried to remember what had happened. I had been on the phone, then sat in my car. I remembered hearing a noise in the back seat..then..…..I had smelt a chemical! Even now the smell was still on my nose. I must have been drugged! The person was hiding in the b
