The Billionaire's Unexpected Engagement No Room For You
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

Chapter 71 Janet I felt something in my throat and tried to cough, then the tears started rolling. I buried my face in my hands and cried. The tears kept pouring, my mascara streaked, and my nose was running. After crying for a while I pulled myself together. You are stronger than this. I told myself. I hurried into my bathroom. Looking in the mirror I could see I was a mess alright. I washed my face, then reapplied my makeup and took deep breaths to calm down. Why was I even crying? I knew the baby was Kevin’s, that he was a lying jerk and I had broken up with him already. So why did hearing Rita say it upset me so much? Because you still love him, and deep down you were hoping it was a lie. My inner voice told me. I bit back the tears starting to form. I didn’t want to have to do my makeup again. I sighed. The bitch was right. There was no room for me in Kevin’s life anymore. I had to forget him and move on. Dani knocked on the door. “Miss. Benson the meeting is

Chapter 72 Janet I ran into the building, past Dani who was too busy enjoying the chocolates to notice how rattled I was, and into my office. I sank onto my sofa, shaking with desire, feeling my skin burn where he had held me. Why had it been so hard for me to look him in the eye and tell him I didn’t love him? Why couldn’t I stop my heart racing when he touched me? Or stop the desire running through my body as he pressed against me. Even now I was getting wet thinking of his body pressed against mine, and the look of passion in his eyes. I held my head in my hands. I needed to get a grip! It was over between us. He was having a baby with another woman, she would always be part of his life. No matter what he said, everything had changed. We couldn’t be together. My mind had already accepted it so why not my heart? I got up and filled a cup with water from the dispenser and drank it in one big gulp. My phone rang, startling me. I dropped the cup. Get a grip girl! I pi

Chapter 73 Kevin. It was nearly closing time and I was sitting behind my desk, staring into space, my mind thinking only one thought. I’m fucked! The cause of my doom lay in front of me. It was the result of the DNA test. The baby was mine. I still couldn’t believe it. I hadn’t knowingly slept with Rita, which meant she must have done the deed while I lay drunk. Fuck! I should never have let the bitch in! This was no time for regrets. I had to fix my mess. But it was a pretty big one. First my parents. How could I tell them trash like Rita was carrying their grandchild? Dad would fire me and replace me with Mark Rommel, like he had planned to in the beginning. But my biggest problem was Janet. I had gone to see her this afternoon. I had thought giving here space would have calmed her down. How wrong I was. Part of the problem was that bitch had already gone to her and told her the results of the test, so she was very pissed. She had screamed at me, refusing to listen

Chapter 74 Kevin Please Gina, I am sorry. I never wanted to hurt her. I love her, you know that. Help me tell her what I just told you. She listens to you. Tell her to give me one more chance.” “Forget it? You are joking if you think I am going to ask Jan to get back with you.” “Come on Gina! Help me out.” I pleaded. “No.” She said firmly. She turned to Brian who stood behind her. “And you knew about this all along and kept it from me?” His eyebrows went up. “No I didn’t. The day he told me was the day I told him to tell Jan the truth. I was hoping he would, and Janet would tell you.” She rolled her eyes. “I am going. I can’t stand breathing the same air with this guy. Meet me at home.” She told Brian and left. “That went well.” Brian grinned. I sat back down. “Yeah, very well. This is all my fault. I should have told Janet immediately. But I delayed, now look at the mess I am in.” “You made a mistake, stop beating yourself up and fix it.” How do I do that

Chapter 75 Kevin My parents received the news of my latest stupidity, and that they were soon to be grandparents, better than I had thought. I had arrived the family mansion just before lunch time. I had warned mom not to invite anyone else to lunch, and thankfully she had listened. She and dad were sitting on the patio when I arrived. “Kevin honey,” mom hugged me. “ Where is Janet?” “Relax honey, Jan is right behind him.” Dad said. “No, I came alone. Dad, Mom, there is something important I have to tell you both.” “What is it? What’s wrong?” Mom asked alarmed. “Let me guess, you and Janet are expecting a baby.” Dad smirked. “Wow! That’s good news.” Mom squealed. “ we are going to be grandparents!” “No mom.” I said firmly. “ You are going to be grandparents, but not from Janet. We are not together anymore.” They stared at me as if I had gone mad. I sat down on one of the wicker chairs and explained. They were silent as I told them about having drunk sex with Ri

Chapter 76 Kevin I was back in my chair, going over what I had just seen, when Rita walked in. She looked around for me. I stood up and waved her over. “Sorry I am late babe.” She grinned. “Hope you are not mad?” I was too distracted to be angry with her. “What’s with you?” She asked, “you look serious.” “None of your business.” I snapped. She shrugged and ordered a drink. “Before you tell me how much my allowance is going to be, I have made a list of all the things I will be needing.” She brought out a sheet of paper from her handbag and pushed it to me. I glanced at it. It included spa treatments, facials, and other useless things. The total sum came to thousands of dollars. This woman had nerve all right. “This is aside my allowance of course, also you will get me a new apartment. Mine is too small, I can’t be living in such a place while pregnant. I need space.” “Is that all?” I asked quietly. “And, I need a ride of my own. Maybe you could get me a Fe

Chapter 77 Anna I walked into the living room carrying a traveling bag, tears rolling down my face. I had been to the house Tony and I had briefly shared, where we had planned to raise a family, to pick up the last of my stuff. The house had been empty, Tony had already moved his stuff out and I had no idea where he was. Yesterday I had received the divorce papers. Even though I had been expecting it, I had been devastated and cried bitterly. Fran and Jan had tried to console me but I couldn’t stop crying. How could Tony treat me like this? I had loved him, yet he had hurt and humiliated me. I cried harder as I remembered I had been the trending news for weeks. Social media may have forgotten for now, but I hadn’t, neither had my friends who now avoided me. I wiped my tears, crying wouldn't help. I dropped the bag near the sofa, and went to the bar to pour myself a drink, then sank into an armchair. It was Saturday and the house was quiet as usual. Fran had gone for the

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?” “
The Billionaire's Unexpected Engagement Surprise!
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
