The Billionaire's Unexpected Engagement More Lies
Chapter 17Janet“Miss Janet!” Fran frowned at my language.“Sorry. But this isn’t true. I am not engaged to anyone.”“Then how do you explain this?”She pointed to the picture that went with the article. It showed Kevin and I getting into his car a smile on our faces. One of his family members had obviously taken the picture and posted it on social media now the press had gotten wind of it. So much for Kevin’s bright idea. I stared at the picture. Looking at it, I almost believed we were engaged. We looked like a real couple. “I’ve heard a lot of things about this guy and they aren’t good. He has a bad reputation with women. You are already recovering from a heartbreak, engaging a man with his reputation would be a disaster. Please don’t do it just to spite your sister.”I gasped. “ Fran! How can you say so? You know me better than that. Believe me I’m not dating Kevin. I don’t even know him.”“But the picture was taken this afternoon, that’s the dress you were wearing

Chapter 18Janet“What the hell are you doing here.” I asked him.“I am here to see you.”“Well I don’t want to see you, and stalking is against the law.”“You didn’t give me a choice since you’ve blocked my number.” He shot back.“Yeah, because I don’t want to talk to you. Now leave.”“Not until you hear me out.”I ignored him and made to open my car door. His held my arm.I shuddered at the feeling of excitement I felt at his touch. He was standing so close I could smell his strong, muscular cologne. My heart was racing.“Please listen to me.” He pleaded, unaware of the effect he was having on me.“Let me go or I will charge you with assault.” I declared.He let me go.“I’m not here to fight. I just want to talk. I have a business proposal. Please hear me out.” He begged.“Business?” I asked startled, my eyes went to the folder he was holding.“Yes business. Please give me thirty minutes of your time. If you don’t like the proposal, I’ll go and not come back.”I didn’t

Chapter 19Janet“Are you really sure you want to do this?” Gina asked me.It was Wednesday evening and she was giving me a lift home. My car had broken down that morning and was at the mechanic. I had just finished telling her I had agreed to date Kevin.“Yeah I am.” I replied.“You are sure you’ve thought about it carefully? And you really want to date him?”I hesitated. Have I really accepted to date Kevin? I thought. I still couldn’t believe I had. Well it was business. There was no way I was ever going to fall in love with, let alone marry him.Gina looked at me frowning slightly.“Sure I have thought about it. I took time before I made the decision.” I lied.She turned her eyes back on the road.“I don’t like this Jan.” She said.“Why? I thought you were the one saying I should give him a chance, what has changed?”“You have changed.” She replied. “You were clear headed before but now your thinking seems clouded by revenge.”“What?” I was shocked. “What do you mean?

Chapter 20 Janet The party was in full swing when we arrived at the Glamour Hotel, where it was being held. As expected the press were out in full force, which wasn’t a surprise considering the number of well known business men and women, politicians, and even local celebrities, that would be attending. “Bet they are hoping for a juicy story.” Kevin said as he cut the engine. “ Why don’t we give them something to talk about?” I raised my eyebrows. “Like?” “Walking arm in arm into the hotel.” A valet hurried towards us. “Let’s do it.” I said. We got out of the car and holding hands, walked towards the hotel, nearly blinded by flashing cameras. I was use to it though. I had gone to a lot of such occasions, mostly with my dad. Actually only with my dad. For some reason, Tony and I had never gone to such an event. He always had an excuse not to go, but now he was going with my sister. I was thinking about it and feeling a little sad when without warning, Kevin pulled me to

Chapter 21 Hiring a PIKevin“Calm down. It may not be what you think.” I told Janet.She had left me in the ballroom midway in our dance, only to come back awhile later looking ready to eat nails.“What’s wrong?” I asked her.“My dad’s girlfriend is right now in one of the hotel rooms with another man.” She fumed.“What?”“Yeah Lois, you've met her." She was looking around the room. “ There’s my dad. I need to tell him.”“Wait a minute.” I held her arm. “What? He needs to know the slut she really is.”“Did you actually see her having sex with this guy?”“They are in a room together, what else would they be doing?”“Which room?“Room 300 I think.”“You think? You are not sure?”“I didn’t really see them enter, I wasn’t fast enough, but I know they are there.” She tried to break free. “I am wasting time. I need to tell dad.”“No wait. Even if what you are saying is true you can’t tell him now, he may react badly and make a fool of himself.”“What are you

Chapter 22Janet.It was nearly midnight when I let myself into the house. I heard noise in the living room and walked in to see Dad, Anna and Fran, having a night cap.You left early, where did you go?” Dad asked.“Kevin and I were in the lounge chatting with some friends.” I lied. “Where is Lois?”“She’s gone to bed. The party exhausted her.” Dad told me.That’s not the only thing that exhausted her. Cheating is hard work. I thought angrily.“Come join us.” Fran said.I smiled slightly thinking how much a member of the family she was. She would make a much better stepmom than that cheating bitch. I wondered why she and dad had never thought of dating.Looking at dad I was happy I had listened to Kevin. Telling him then about Lois would have been a bad idea. “I saw you talking with the mayor, dad.” I said joining them and pouring myself a drink. “ It looked pretty intense.” “Yeah it’s about business. I will tell you all about it tomorrow at the office. But now we need to

Chapter 23Janet“You have a meeting with Mr. Benson at noon.” My secretary announced as I came in that morning.I smiled. Dad always kept things professional at the office. Nothing but business was discussed, he always addressed Anna and I as Miss. Benson, and any messages were passed through our secretary. At first it had made been awkward and annoying to be so formal around him, but I later agreed keeping everything strictly business was better for everyone and the company. And he always made it up to us with extra attention at home.“Thanks Jill.” I said.I entered my office, wondering what dad wanted to see me about. Maybe to discuss the deal he mentioned yesterday. My phone rang. It was Kevin.“Hey.” He said. “Hi. Hope you didn’t wake up with a hangover?” I joked.“All the beer in Texas won’t give me a hangover.” He laughed.“So what’s up? Another event I am to attend with you?” I asked.“Not yet. I’m calling about your step mommy problem.”“What?”“You know, Loi

Chapter 24AnnaDad and Janet had already left for work by the time I came into the dining room. I had slept late and woke with a slight hangover.Fran had breakfast waiting for me. I felt uncomfortable around her as I remembered what Janet had said yesterday, “I know the deal you both struck when she caught you sleeping with Tony.”How did she know? Only one person could have told her, Fran. Tony and I had always been careful whenever he came to the house. Both of us would sneak away from work in the afternoons and meet here, since it was nearer to his office. We always used cabs, never our cars. No one was ever at home in the afternoons. Fran most times would be out shopping, and Lois hadn’t moved in yet. The few times Fran had been home, I would tell her I had come to take a nap and didn’t want to be disturbed. I would make sure she was in another part of the mansion before Tony would sneak in.Then, the day Tony and I decided to stop meeting at the mansion, Lois ha

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
