ELENAI smiled as I looked at my self in the mirror.It had been exactly two weeks since the incident with Colton, and we had resolved a lot of issues.Jason had come to confess to me about what he had hired Colton to do, and the truth was, even if I had been hurt hearing it from him, I had actually known about it. The night before that day, I had been having a very serious headache and had been on my way to the bedroom when I had heard him and Tyler argue about it.But I had also heard him say that he hadn’t gone through with it and had only kept Colton there.I had forgiven him then, because I couldn’t blame him. It wasn’t easy losing your father and then hearing that he had given everything he had to his assistant.Jason had even confessed that he hat thought that I was his father’s mistress and had cast it out of his kind the night we had made love for the first time.It had been a long discussion, but had actually settled a lot of things.And there was something Colton had said t
ELENAI walked into the huge building that was Richardson Industries, hoping against all hope, that I still had my job, and won’t be thrown into the curb like a piece of shit.Changes.I wasn’t one who liked too many changes around me, since I loved to live in my comfort zone. But a few days ago, things had changed so drastically, and I was forced to go along with it.The CEO of Richardson industries, my boss, had died. And it had come as a huge shock to all of us, especially me, since I was his personal assistant, when we had heard that he had been battling colon cancer. Something that I wasn’t aware of, until the very next day after he died, when the family had released a press statement concerning his death.Paul Richardson had been like a father to me, taking me under his wing and bringing me up to be the person I was presently. If his death hadn’t affected my colleagues, it had affected me greatly. But the question of why he hadn’t told me about his sickness was something that
ELENAI should have just stayed in my office.Because the moment I walked in, splattering my nonsense about that damn note, everywhere became silent. And I was suddenly faced with three pairs of eyes, all staring at me.But one in particular stood out, and try as I might, I couldn’t get myself to look away.He was here.I mean, he had to be. It was his father’s company after all.He did look different from how he did before. And good different. He had grown some beards, which had definitely added to his sexiness.I would have continued with my scrutiny, if someone had not cleared his throat in the room, making me blink and turn sharply in the direction of the sound.The older man in the room, adjusted his glasses and glanced at me briefly, before looking at the file that was opened in front of him.I frowned.What the hell was I doing here? And why had he left a note for me?Other than a ‘I left it in your office, since your phone was switched off’, he had said nothing about the note.
ELENAI Looked at Jason like he had just run mad.Actually he had, because I certainly didn’t just hear him propose such nonsense to me. It was enough that the will was as real as anything. But going ahead with Paul’s games? Hell no!“I don’t know what you are doing asking me to marry you. But I’m just going to have to decline, because I can not do it.” I told him with all honesty.At the moment, I couldn’t even remember that I had a long term crush on him, and that he was standing right in front of me now.All I could think of, was how to get the hell out of this place. My head was pounding and I could feel the migraine coming up.“Elena! There is no way I’m letting you leave without saying yes to me! It’s my fucking life we are talking about here. Heck, I don’t even know you! But we have to do this or my family will lose everything. Every fucking thing!” Jason literally bellowed, gesturing wildly for emphasis.I paused, just staring at him with disbelief. “I don’t even think you al
JASONI adjusted my suit jacket and my tie, waiting patiently for Elena. I didn’t know what had finally convinced her, but it was way past 9:00pm, when she had called me, and I had wasted no time booking us a table at a restaurant, close to where she lived. I had chosen that exact place so she wouldn’t have an excuse not to come.But I was damn nervous as hell. And that was just saying the least. The past hours had been so stressful for me, with me making a lot of arrangements. If by any chance, Elena agreed to my terms, I would have to rearrange my whole life to fit in what I suspected was very much my present.I was still just staring at the door blankly, when I spotted her.Gosh..Why did she have to take my breath away, just by looking at her.The woman was just…beautiful..And I wasn’t talking about ordinary beauty. She glowed. Literally.As she sighted me and started to make her way towards me, I watched as her hips swayed in accordance with her step.How was she walking like
ELENA I read the words written there over and over again, to make sure I wasn't dreaming or in some kind of a movie. Things like these only happened in movies, and books, not in my reality.I looked up at Jason, appalled."Why do we need to sign a contract?" I asked, knowing fully well that I sounded out of sorts and ridiculous.I knew there would be an agreement, but not a full contract that looked to be at least ten pages long.Jason shook his head, looking at me with irritation. "Well that's what you get for involving yourself with my father. Now read and sign, so we could get past this stage." He hissed, sounding like he was calm. But I could hear the malice and accusations in his voice.I swallowed and started to read.I was doing this just so my conscience would be clear, and nothing else. At least that was what I was telling myself.But deep down, there was something.... something that yearned for..Oh no...don't go there Elena!I scolded myself. 1. You must live together, in
ELENAI had taken a damn cab to this place!I hissed as I picked up the file and my purse and started to make my way out of the restaurant, feeling a annoyed as hell.Jason had suddenly switched up on me like I was part of his problem.Well, I was, in a way..But still..I didn't like the fact that he had just left like that, catching me off guard. He even sounded pissed at me. What was my sin now?If only I had kept my mouth shut.One minute, we were talking about celibacy, and the next minute, he was running out of the room like his pants were on fire."Damn you, Paul." I hissed under my breath. If not for the situation my boss out me in, I was sure I would be on my bed, laying down comfortably and not having to worry about something as ridiculous as this.I stood at the entrance and looked at my phone, checking the time. 11.04pm. shit! It was really late.I placed the phone back in my purse, ready to wave down a can I saw making its way towards me, when a car just drove and stopp
JASONThe sight I met when I got to my hotel room was definitely one that I didn't need, or expect in the first place.The scent hit me, as soon as I opened the damn door of the hotel room. I knew that scent, and it belonged to only one person. And that was because she had made that crazy perfume with her own hands.There, on my couch in the suite, lay the last woman I wanted to see at the moment.Bethany.And as soon as I shut the door, she awakened from the little nap she was taking, tuning to stare at me directly. "Hello...Jason." she drawled, flashing me her signature smile.One that would have made me smile back in a normal day. But nothing has been normal since today, so I just narrowed my eyes at her."What are you doing here? And how did you get in?" I asked, not even feeling the least bit remorseful at the tone I was using on her.I had planned to have a long shower, and just jump into the bed, naked, and wrapped in the soft duvet in my bed. I definitely hadn't been planning
