My Unwanted Billionaire

I listen to Jason’s heartbeat as his hands draw smoothening patterns on my bareback. Jason and I just finished making love. After we released from our first kiss, Jason kissed me again, and before I knew what was happening, I found myself screaming Jason’s name in my bedroom. I missed being in his arms like this. I wish he would never have to stop holding me.

“Jason,” I say, into his chest

“Yes, love,” He replies into my hair.

“I have a few things to ask regarding the video we watched earlier.”

“What would you like to ask consigning it?”

“How did you get it?”

“I am a billionaire honey, getting CCTV footage of a restaurant is not hard for me.”

“I know you must have hired someone to get the video for you, but what I am asking is, how did you know your grandmother set you up. Talk more of getting a video of her conversation with Christine.”

“After I followed you back to your place the day you found Christine and me in bed together. I went back to the hotel to ask Christine how I ended up in bed with her naked. I didn’t ask her immediately after you left the room because I wanted to catch you before you left. When I got back, Christine was gone, and she was not picking my calls. I immediately hired someone to find her, and in the process, the person saw her meet up with my grandmother a week after the incident, but they didn’t meet in California. I asked him to investigate if that was the first time they were meeting in that city. I found it odd that they were meeting, and to top it off, outside California. He did, and it was not. I asked him to investigate deeper and find out why they met and what they discussed when they met if he could. He got the video of them meeting in that restaurant two weeks before Christine came to California.”

“Oh, I understand now. What if you didn’t get the video? How did you plan to prove your innocence?”

“I was going to use any means possible to make Christine tell you the truth. If I had to do things I won’t normally do. I was ready to do it as long as you believed I didn’t cheat on you.”

“I am happy you didn’t have to, and you got that video” I don’t even want to imagine the things Jason would have done to make Christine tell me the truth. She is fortunate he got the video. Only the lord knows what he would have done because I can bet he is very angry with her for stripping him off his clothes and taking him to the hotel instead of taking him home that night. Jason told me what happened the night of the party a few minutes before I asked about the video.

“Me too”

“What are you going to do about Alex? Do you believe your grandmother when she said he didn’t rape her?” I can remember correctly Mrs. Sullivan used it to threaten Christine to work for her. I believe Mrs. Sullivan because if it was not true, Christine wouldn’t do her bidding.

“After the things I found out about Christine. I believe her”

“What did you find out about Christine?”

“She is a con artist. Her whole identity is fake. Her real name is not even Christine.”

“Really,” I say, shocked.

“Yes, and I can’t believe I never knew all these years.”

“There is no way you could have known, and what are you going to do about Alex.”

“I don’t know how I am going to apologize to him. I feel it might even be too late.”

“I don’t think it’s too late.”

“It is my love; 13 years is a long time.”

“I know it is, but I know Alex would be happy to finally become friends with you again.”

“You really believe so.”

“Yeah, I do. You just need to find the courage to apologize to him. I know he is going to forgive you because it was not really your fault that you didn’t believe his words over your wife’s at that time.”

“I hope he sees it the same way you do.”

“He will. What are you going to do about your grandmother? Now that you know, she was the one behind the two incidents. What are your plans?”

“I am too shocked at what she did to me to know how to respond. I can’t believe my grandmother would do such things to me because she believes you are a gold digger. If only she knew the jerk her grandson is. She would have known that you are with me because you love me, and even my money is not enough to make you stay with me.”

“I am sorry for the things she did to you.”

“If anyone should apologize, it should be me. My grandmother has caused you to shed a lot of tears, and I am truly sorry for that, my love.”

“It’s fine, all that matters is you fully believe and have seen her try to split us up, and you are going to make her stop.”

“I promise you I will. I know once she knows, I know she is going to back off. I also know that I might have to cut ties with her, and I don’t know if I am ready for that.”

“I know your grandmother means a lot to you. I won’t ask you to cut ties with her. I only need you to make her stop trying to split us up.”

“If cutting ties with her will get her to leave us alone in peace, it is what I will do, my love. Because I can’t believe she loves me and would cause me so much pain the way she did.”

“She does love you. She just thinks what she did is not wrong, and you need to make her understand that it is. If she still does not accept it’s wrong after speaking with her, then you can think about cutting ties with her”

“I can’t believe after everything you are the one saying this,” Jason says, lifting my chin up to stare at him.

“I believe family is important. We won’t always agree to the same thing, but we can learn to live with it for the people we love, and your grandmother loves you. She just needs to accept that I do too, and I am not going anywhere.”

“Yes, you are not going anywhere, my love. You are going to be with me forever,” Jason says, lifting me off the bed to straddle him.

“Yes, I am not going anywhere, my love. I will be with you forever,” I say, then kiss him.

The following morning I wave Jason goodbye as he enters his car. He is driving home so he can shower and change to go to work. I plan to go back to work since Jason and I are back together. I won’t be going back today. I will go back on Monday. Today is Thursday. I felt like going back on a new week.

I walk back inside the house once Jason’s car can’t be seen from the doorstep. I take a seat on the couch and pick my phone to dial his number. It rings for a few seconds before he finally picks. I am so happy he answered.

“Hello,” He says once he answers.

“Hi, Alex,” I say, smiling into the phone. I am so happy he answered. I was worried he might ignore my call because of Jason’s threats last time they spoke.

“Eleanor, how are you? I am surprised to hear from you. I hope everything is fine?”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Everything is great. How are you doing?”

“I am good.”

“That’s nice to hear. I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me tonight. There is something important I would like to tell you.”

“Sure, no problem; I hope nothing is wrong.”

“No, everything is fine. In fact, everything is about to become great,” I say, smiling as I picture how tonight is going to go.

“Wow, can I know what you want to talk to me about?”

“I wish I could tell you, but it’s best I don’t.”

“Hmm, you are making me more curious to know why you suddenly invited me for dinner.”

“Don’t worry, you will find out tonight.”

“Alright, goodbye, see you tonight.”

“Goodbye,” I say, hanging up. I text Alex the restaurant’s address. I would like him to meet up with me once I drop the call.

I hope my plan tonight works and Jason and Alex finally become friends again. I know Jason wants to apologize to Alex but is scared he might reject him when he does. My plan tonight is to help him make it easier by inviting Alex for dinner that Jason would also attend. To make sure Jason does not back out, I will only tell him about it a few minutes before we reach the restaurant or when we arrive. He might back out if I tell him any sooner. I am telling him so he can prepare a little before Alex comes. I can bet he will be nervous, but I plan to be there to help him through the whole process.

I know Alex meant a lot to him. That’s why it broke his heart a lot when Alex was accused of raping Christine. I am so happy it is a lie because Alex is a good person and shouldn’t lose a friend because an evil con-woman like Christine framed him. I wonder why she framed him. Maybe I can ask Alex tonight. He might know why she framed him.
