Entangled With The Crippled Billionaire

****

“why are you smiling? What’s funny?” She asked glaring at him.

“I am not, I just remembered what she told me and it sounded funny” he quickly replied.

” What did you tell her?” Sharon asked

” I told her how much I love my fiancee and I don’t buy fake lies” he said

“Good, she should really know her…. “She stopped talking and turn to face Jasper. “What did you say?” She inquired as she felt her heart beating so fast that she thought her chest is going to explode.

“I didn’t say anything” he said shaking his head.

” You said something” she argued. “I didn’t” he objected.

“You did… I heard you say something”

” What was it I said?” She arch her brows as she realized she didn’t hear him properly or she did, she is just too shy to say the word.

“What did you say was your reply to Sheila’s request?” She asked and he smirked before repeating what he said, ” I told her how much I love my fiancee”

Her cheeks turned red immediately as her eyes glittered like a Christmas light. He just confessed his feelings indirectly.

But why is she happy about it? They are not getting married because they love each other, it’s because they need something from each other.

Today is really a lucky day, she was able to get rid of Ann, even though it is just temporal.

Jimmy called her Mommy and Jasper told Sheila how much he loved her.

Sheila must be crying wherever she is, but who cares they deserve all the bad things that has and will happen to them. They have caused her so much pain, it is only fair if they feel half of what she felt.

Jasper noticed how reddened her cheek is, so he decided to give her a spoiler. “I told her to shut her mouth, but it didn’t work, she still went on blabbering nonsense….” He continued talking but Sharon was not listening.

Why did he have to add that, she is so happy that he told Sheila that he loved her, same as how happy she was when Jimmy called her Mommy.

But just like the saying, like father like son, he also said it was just to get Sheila to shut her mouth. It was just an act.

What was she thinking anyway that the almighty Jasper Madon will fall in love with her? She must be out of her senses.

Bit it doesn’t matter, he is getting married to her and nothing can change that. She has read in stories about how couples change after marriage, maybe theirs will be the same.

“Are you listening to me?” He asked as he shook her back to reality.

” What were you saying?” She asked obviously lost in thought. “What were you thinking about?” He query

“Nothing…. I’m wasn’t thinking about anything, you were just too fast that I didn’t hear what you said” she turned the table on him.

” So what were you talking about?” She asked turning to face him.” We should just go to sleep you look tired” he said and she nodded

“Good night” he said, “night” she nutter getting under the duvet.

” Good morning mom” Sheila greeted as she walked into her parents bedroom with her mom’s breakfast.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Morning dear” Mrs Winston replied walking back to the bed, she was standing by the window when Sheila walked in.

“How are you feeling?” She inquired sitting beside her with the tray of food on the bed few inches away from them.

“Better” she answered, “good I believe you will be all better once you eat and take your medicines” she said

” Where were you yesterday? You dissappeared after we spoke about Sharon” Mrs Winston asked

” Ohh that I just went out…. Just went out” she said opening the cap of the bottle containing water for her mom.

“You and your brother? Because he was nowhere to be found too” she said

” Yeah, Ben was with me” she nodded in confirmation.

“Where is the car?” Mr Winston loud voice was heard in the room.

He was asleep when Ben and Sheila returned the previous day. They intentionally returned late because they didn’t want him to notice but he did.

He is presently questioning Ben about the car, they could not have trekked home, so where the f*ck is the car.

“Is the driver back?” Mrs Winston ask since she noticed all the maids were gone and she didn’t think Ben would have issues with his father. She just concluded that it is the driver since he is asking about a car.

“I don’t think so” Sheila shook her head negativily. “Then who is your dad talking to?” She asked.

“Why don’t you eat your breakfast while I go to and check on him” she said giving her an assuring smile that all is going to be well before walking out of the room.

Sheila saw Ben standing in front of their father who is sited on the couch as she walked downstairs.

He is obviously scared. They tried to get back the car but the police were demanding for a huge amount of money.

If Ben withdraw all his savings to get the car, they will be left with literally nothing. Ben suspect that someone is behind it because the amount of money they were requesting was just to much.

And to top it all, he was not even packing his car illegally so why on Earth did it get towed.

When he asked for reason why his car got towed, they told him only staffs and important guests are allowed to park in the parking lot.

He tried to tell them that he was not aware of the rules but they didn’t listen to him and just charged him that huge amount of money.

I mean who pays seven hundred thousand dollars for a towed car, someone is definitely punishing him.

“Why can’t you speak? Did you lose your tounge?” Mr Winston ask

” No dad I can explain” he said, “that was what I asked for” he said.

” Ummm dad the car….. the car isn’t here” he sturter, “I know which is why I am asking where it is” he said

There was a brief silence before he started laughing hysterically, by this time Sheila was already few feets away from them.

She walked so slow not to make any sound because she didn’t want their father to transfer his aggression on her.

“Don’t tell me Aiden took the car from you, is he going to use it as souvenir? He is unbelievable” he scoff.

” No I didn’t go to Aiden’s place” he replied “then where the f*ck is the car?” He yell as his eyes got darker, his voice deeper and the air was filled with his dark and cold aura.

Ben knew he could not escape this he needs to tell his father the truth even if it will mean getting scolded and his father treating him like a plague.

He does that whenever he dissapoint him, he pushes him away until he makes it up to him.

“The car got towed and we have to pay a sum of seven hundred thousand dollars to get it” he explained.

” We aren’t in April the last time I checked so why the on Earth are you pranking me?” He asked.

” It isn’t a prank dad” Sheila said getting his attention, he turned to face her and Sheila almost didn’t recognize him.

This is the first time she us seeing him that angry, even when he was scolding Sharon he never looked that angry.

It was like an evil spirit took possession of his body. She took slow steps backwards Mr Winston stood up.

He looks f*cking angry, why won’t he? He lost his company, he got tortured, his niece get treated with so much hatred is getting married to the richest person he has ever know.

There is a possibility of his daughter giving birth out of wedlock, his life is a f*cking mess.

“This is your fault. All this happened because of your stubbornness, I you didn’t walk into the Lions den none of this would have happened” he scolded as he held her by the ear.

” I’m sorry dad, but I did it all for us” she said and his father let go of her ear immediately.

” You did it for us you say? Tell me the result?” He demanded, “did it help us? Huh? It didn’t instead you got us into trouble!” He yell and she flinch.

He turned to Ben “find a way to get the car and the company, am I understood? I won’t be a laughing stock because of you two” he said about to leave when the door bell rang.

“Are you expecting someone?” He asked and they both shook their head side ways.

Ben went to the door and opened it to see a courier.

“Good morning sir, are you Mr Benedict Winston?” He asked and Ben nodded.

” Sign here” he said and he did. “This is for you” he gave him a letter.

” Do have a nice day” he said walked away. I doubt him having a nice day after reading the letter.
