Chapter 62

Janet

On my way back to work Jason called and texted me repeatedly, but I didn’t answer.

I was furious with him. He had no right to butt into my affairs, and his tone was very annoying.

I wasn’t a kid dammit!

I got to my office and decided to call Kevin and know how he was doing. He didn’t pick up.

Maybe he is very busy. I thought

But Jason’s word had me worried. Kevin had been acting funny lately, was he hiding something? He had promised me no more secrets and I believed him, but was I making a mistake by trusting him?

I shook my head. No, Jason was just being hateful. I loved and trusted Kevin. If we were to live together, I had to.

“Everyone was already seated at the dining table when I came in.

***********

“Lois and I have an announcement to make.” Dad said.

We had just finished dinner and Fran had brought in dessert.

He took Lois by the hand and they stood up.

We looked at them. Dad was blushing, Lois’s fake smile was wider and

    Chapter 63 Kevin My ringing alarm work me up. I cursed. I had been asleep for less than two hours, and it was already time to get up. I had been up most of the night dreaming up ways to get Janet to say yes to my request. For a guy that liked his own space, it was crazy the way I was desperately trying to get her to move in with me. I got up and went to take a shower, then walked into the kitchen butt naked to make coffee. I occasionally went around naked, and why not? I lived alone, even Janet moving in wasn’t going to stop me. “I may even convince her to give it a try.” I muttered, grinning slyly. I looked round the kitchen. Like the rest of my house, it was as neat as a pin. The cleaning service people who cleaned it every week did a great job, and aside making coffee, I did nothing else here. Nearly all my meals were eaten in restaurants. But this was going to change when Janet moved in. I sat on the couch, sipping coffee. The thought of living with her excited me, b

    Chapter 64 Kevin I was pacing my living room, anxiously waiting for Rita to arrive. I had told the bitch 8pm, now it was 9:15pm and still no sign of her. I dialed her number she wasn’t picking. What was taking her so long? I wanted this over and done with. On my way home I had stopped at a pharmacy and bought a pregnancy kit. Just when I was about pulling out my hair, the doorbell rang. “I told you 8pm!” I growled as I let her in. “Sorry babe, traffic.” “Why aren’t you answering your phone?” “I didn’t hear it.” She smiled. She came in and dropped on my sofa. “I love this place, any chance I can move in when Kevin Jr is born? I want him to be close to his Dad.” I took a step towards her. “Careful how you push me.” I warned. “I am only being nice. No need to get mad.” “Keep it to yourself.” “Okay, since you are in a bad mood. Can I get a drink?” She asked. “No! Before we do anything you have to do this first.” I went over to the coffee table and picked up

  • The Billionaire's Unexpected Engagement   Numb

    Chapter 65 Janet As I drove home, the Linkin Park song numb kept playing over and over in my head. I was numb with shock. Could I really be three times unlucky? Could three different men all lie and cheat on me? And I was supposed to believe that I wasn’t the problem. I didn’t even know how I got home, I guess I was using my instincts, because I definitely wasn’t using my head. I let myself into the house. Fran came into the hallway when she heard me come in. “Miss Janet I am really disappointed in….what’s wrong?” She asked, alarmed by the look on my face. I just stared at her, too numb to say a word. “Please tell me, what is the matter? What happened?” She sounded scared. Looking at myself later in my vanity mirror I knew why, my face was paper white. I pushed past her and ran upstairs to my room. I was sitting on my bed, staring at myself in my vanity mirror, when Fran came in. “Janet please what is wrong?” She asked. “He lied to me.” My voice was distant.

I jumped out of bed and faced him. “What are you doing here?” I demanded, not believing Fran had let him in. “Please let me explain.” He said gently. “I don’t want to hear it you lying son of a bitch! Now get out!” “I love you.” “You lied to me!” “I was going to tell I swear! I didn’t want to hurt you.” He pleaded. “I don’t care! Now get out!” He grabbed me and kissed me. To my surprise I responded, pulling him closer. He slowly slid down my nightgown and began kissing me all over my body. I moaned as he went lower and lower and...... There was a knock on the door. We ignored it. It grew louder and louder. I woke up. Fran came in with lunch. “You look a lot better Miss. Janet I hope you feel same too.” She said. I smiled uncomfortably. How could I tell Fran I was feeling better because I’d dreamt I had been having sex with the man who br

    Chapter 67 Kevin I poured myself another glass of Scotch. I was halfway through my second bottle and still wasn’t drunk. That was the bad thing about being used to alcohol, it was harder to get drunk and I really needed to get drunk. It won’t help me forget Janet, but maybe I could numb this pain piercing through my heart. I had never felt this way about any woman, maybe because I had never loved any woman. But Janet was different. I loved her and couldn’t afford to lose her, yet I was losing her, all because I hadn’t told her the truth on time. I had called Brain as soon as Rita had left. “Damn it! I told you to tell her yourself before she finds out another way!” He yelled after I’d told him what had happened “I was going to tell her tomorrow.” I said panicky. “Fuck! What the hell was Rita doing in your place anyway?” “I asked her to come. I wanted to find out if she was really pregnant. Jan wasn’t suppose to show up.” “This is bad!” “I need to talk to her.

It was a little after midday when I woke up to a painful hangover and my ringing phone. I groaned and vowed for the millionth time never to drink again. I reached for my phone besides me. “Hello?” I asked. “Kevin honey how are you feeling?” Mom asked. “I am doing okay mom and you?” “I am good. Your dad said you had a flu, have you taken medication?” It took me a full minute to realize what she was talking about. “Yeah mom a flu, it was awful but I have taken something for it. How is dad?” “He is great, at first I was worried about you all alone with a flu, then I remembered you had Janet is she there?” “No mom she has gone to work, like I said, I am better now.” Telling the lie was a lot harder than I had thought. “When are you two coming to see us again?

No?” “I don’t know Anna, she might.” “Don’t tell me you really believe that gold digger is marrying dad for love? Come on Jan! What is wrong with you?” “Nothing. I just think maybe we shouldn’t get involved. Let’s give them a chance.” She snorted. “Let me guess, since you are now in a relationship with Mr. Perfect, you have suddenly become a romantic. Please!” “Kevin and I are not together anymore.” I said quietly. She looked surprised. “So that explains the long face,” she shrugged. “Well, welcome back to the club.” I sighed. In no mood for jokes. “What happened?” She asked. “Just didn’t work out. I thought he had changed but he hadn’t.” “Guess the Benson sisters are cursed.” She said. “Maybe, but it was good while it lasted, and it made me realize something. If t

    Chapter 70 Janet Days later, I forced myself to get up and get on with my life. Yes my heart had been broken, but it was now up to me to pick up the pieces and move forward. I took a hot shower and got dressed, applied my makeup, and combed my hair. I looked at myself in the mirror and tried to smile. I am beautiful, smart, and strong. I told myself. I can get through this. My eyes fell on the necklace Kevin had given me. I closed my eyes, trying to stop myself from remembering the night. Too late. I was remembering how he had kissed me, and how we’d had sex, starting in his car and ending in the hotel. I could feel my underwear getting wet, as I remembered what we had done in the room. Thankfully, the knock on my door interrupted my thoughts. Fran came in. Her eyes widened. “You are up and ready for work? Very good. I am so happy you are back to your old self.” “I am Fran, I have to move on with my life.” She nodded. “Breakfast is ready.” “Be right down.” She lef

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

    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?” “

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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
