Entangled With The Crippled Billionaire

****

Everyone stared at Jimmy as though he had said something wrong, of course, it should sound wrong to them since he is apologizing.

He apologized only when he is scared that people will fulfil their threat against him.

If he didn’t apologize before he left for school, what if Sharon decides not to give him breakfast the next day. What if it isn’t just breakfast, maybe dinner.

No, he can’t afford to go to school or bed hungry. Not when his favorite food is staring at him. He is going to make a move. He will grovel at Sharon’s feet until she is ready to forgive him.

If she tries to prove stubborn, he won’t leave, he will frustrate her. Make her pity him, he will do anything just to get her forgiveness.

Not because it is genuine but because he is hungry, he still doesn’t think what he did is wrong it is just an harmless trick.

Besides, it is not his fault she thought Cole was a kidnapper so why should he be blamed and punished for a mistake she made and wanted to remind her.

It isn’t even teasing, he is just reminding her, so next time before taking actions she will be extra careful and not to get someone killed.

“Aunt say something! Please I am sorry. I am a changed boy, I will never do such thing again, ” he went on pleading while Sharon just stared at him as if a magician just entered their house. Performing magic without anyone consent.

“What is wrong with you Jimmy? Why don’t you want to go to school? Why are you begging for forgiveness? What did you do this time? “, Jasper asked her every single question he could think off

“Dad, don’t ask questions just beg aunt Sharon on my behalf,” he said and returned to begging her

” How can I do that when I don’t even know what you did?” Jasper scoff. ” That’s right I don’t know what I did wrong, for all we know aunt can be mistaken” he mumble to himself before raising his head to stare at her face.

“Aunt,” he call and Sharon bent her neck slightly to look at him.” What did I do? ” He ask.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Why are you apologizing? It is not like I asked to,” she said and flip her hair which was resting on her shoulders backward, using the back of her hand.

“Just admit your mistakes Jimmy, it won’t hurt”, his subconscious said. “My pride will hurt” he answered him inwardly.

“Jimmy your driver is waiting,” Lena reminded and he literally glared at her.

Why is everyone in this house treating him like this just because of a mistake anyone can make, he shook his head and raise his head to stare at Sharon who didn’t stop eating.

“Aunt I am sorry for teasing you,” he admit his mistakes. “Teasing? When was that?” Sharon asked, feigning.

” Yesterday about you thinking uncle Cole is a kidnapper and he wanted to kidnap Tia,” he replied. ” I didn’t know you were teasing me, I thought you just wanted to fill Lena in, since she was not around when it happened”, she said.

” It was not that please now that I have confessed my crimes will you forgive me,” he said giving her the cutest puppy face u

You will ever see.

“I never said I was holding grudges against you,” she said blinking her eyes repeatedly. WTF! Is she going to treat him like this?

“Can I eat?” He ask. “I never said you can’t eat,” she said, innocently.

” But you said I should go to school and the driver should buy me breakfast,” he reminded. ” I said that because I was worried about you, I don’t want you to go to school late because of food, I don’t remember saying you can’t eat,” she stated.

” Yes Jimmy sister in-law is right,” Lena sided with her which made Jimmy frowned.

When did his sweet loving aunt became a devil like Sharon, he won’t let her aunt Lena become cruel. Once that happens he is going to go through hell, because no one will give him a special treatment.

“I will just eat,” he said standing up, he rushed to the kitchen to wash his hands, immediately he was done. He sat beside Sharon and didn’t wait for anyone to serve him before he started eating.

Lena didn’t let him finish his dinner and now Sharon is trying to prevent him from having breakfast too. No, they are kidding, he has not done anything wrong to be punish in that manner.

Aiden was engrossed in his work, that is what he does now adays to keep his mind off Sharon. He has not been able to locate her.

He almost got her location about a day earlier but it was bit stable, it was as if she was in a moving vehicle or something.

It didn’t take long before it dissappeared so he could not follow her. He sigh in frustration for the upteenth time.

He roughed his hair and rested his back on the chair, he is frustrated. Is this what it means to be guilty? He is guilty for everything he made Sharon pass through and he just wants to say sorry.

Why is it so hard to get close to her and apologize, even if he can’t have her to himself. Sharon is not the type to make a decision by mistake, if she wants to marry Jasper, she must have given it a lot of thought so he has a slim chance of convincing her.

It doesn’t matter he just wants to ask for her forgiveness because she doesn’t deserve everything he made her went through.

*********

Aiden on the other hand was lost in thought in his office, he was worried and restless. He has not gotten any reply from Jasper.

It has been days and Jasper is not the type type to go back on his words. He knows he will grant him his request it’s just seem like forever to Aiden.

He groaned as he massage his forehead for a few seconds before standing up from his seat.

He walked towards the transparent window, he stared at the busy city below and his eyes caught something interesting.

A girl mad at a guy assumed to be his boyfriend, the guy tried to give her flowers but she won’t accept it. The guy got tired and stopped following her.

He pretend to have hit his leg on a stone, he cried out lunch as he held his leg. People rushed to him to see what was wrong even his suppose angry girlfriend.

Aiden didn’t hear what he told the crowd or his girlfriend that made her hug him and the people clapped but the view was beautiful.

His mind drifted to Alice, where is she right now? Does she have a job? He heard she broke up with Ben not long after he left.

What led to their breakup? Did she find out about what he did to him? How is she fairing? He kick the air as he is frustrated from all this questions in his head with no answer.

He got out of his office and stopped at his secretary desk. “Clear my schedule for the day,” he said before walking away.

His secretary stared at him as if something is wrong. Of course something is not right, Aiden hardly takes the day off. Even on his leave, he comes to the office once in a while and he is in his office on his day off.

So something is definitely not right with him. I know he is love sick. He just drove around the city and stopped in front of a school.

He got down from his car and lean on it, admiring the kids that walked out of the school compound.

Some with their parents, others with their drivers or nanny. While some are alone. He wished to be a kid, he will have less to worry about.

But even if he returned to being a kid, he won’t change much, the only thing be will change is his mother’s death. Everything else will be the same, falling in love with Alice was the best part. If he were given a thousand chance to rewrite his story.

He won’t change falling in love and staying in love with her, she is one of the gifts God gave him.

He was still lost in thought when a kid, a boy to be precise tap him. He looked down to see this cute adorable boy who was not smiling.

“Hey kiddo,” he said and the boy replied rudely, “I am not kiddo, my name is Asher.”

“I am sorry Asher,” he apologized.” It’s fine my mom thinks I’m a kid too sometimes,” he said

Seriously! Isn’t he a kid, does he think of himself as an adult⁉️.
