Entangled With The Crippled Billionaire

*****

Then she blushed slowly realizing the position they are in. She is completely enveloped in his warm embrace, her face pressed against his smooth muscled chest.

She was so lost in checking him out that she didn’t notice he’s already awake. Meanwhile Jasper frowned seeing how red Sharon’s face is. She’s blushing? Why is she blushing?

Then he looked down and noticed their sensual position. He rolled his eyes and immediately pushed her away a little. Sharon was momentarily shocked by his movement.

Then she finally realized he’s awake. “Why were you looking at me like that? Don’t you know it’s rude to stare at a hot, charming man like that,” he said grumpily.

Sharon glared at him and answered,” Who was staring at you? I was only looking at the bug on…”

“Bug! Where!? Where is the bug?,” he asked looking around fearfully. Sharon laughed out seeing the expression on his face. Is there anything he isn’t scared of?

“You should see the look on your face right now. I was only joking. No bug. Can’t believe you are actually scared of bugs,” Sharon couldn’t stop herself from laughing as she said the last statement.

Jasper wanted to say something but when he saw the beautiful smile on her face, he kept quiet. She’s looking different from the sad Sharon he met the previous day.

Yesterday, she was looking sad and totally heartbroken just like the first day when she was sitting down on the bench at the roadside.

“I’m actually glad you are smiling now. Fatty, tell me what happened yesterday?,”he asked her. This question wiped off the smile on her face.

Her expression completely changed. She sighed and was about to get up from the bed but he held her hands tightly.

This caused her to fall back on the bed. Jasper pulled her close now staring into her eyes. Sharon remembered everything that had happened, from her losing the job to losing her documents.

She suddenly burst into tears. Jasper was shocked by her sudden outburst but nevertheless, he still hugged her. Sharon sobbed softly as she burrowed into his warm embrace.

This is what she needs now, a shoulder to cry on or shall I say chest. After few minutes, her loud sobs reduced and she finally began to talk.

“I wasn’t even that hurt when brother sacked me. I didn’t do anything wrong. I wasn’t even given a quick notice or something like that,’she started.

Jasper started to think that perhaps what he did to Ben is too little. He should have done more than that.

“When I caught him cheating with my sister. My very own sister and she even seem proud of it… It felt like my heart was torn into two. We were supposed to be getting married soon. How could he do this to me?” she continued sobbing quietly.

Jasper was momentarily stunned by what she said. She was engaged? He didn’t even notice it. She must have had a ring her finger. He looked down to check her finger if there’s still ring there but he couldn’t find any. Was that why she sat down in the rain that day and stared into space?

“As if that wasn’t enough, my house was wrecked. My documents are all gone. I’m both penniless and an illegal immigrant,” she cried out.

Jasper hugged her tightly and tried to silently comfort her. He actually feels sad for fatty. She has been going through a lot with no one to turn to.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

How could they do this to her? He might not like her. Yes! She’s rude and very annoying but he doesn’t agree with what they have done to her.

“Fatty first, stop crying. I’ll help you process new documents [files]. Then once I catch the ones involved in the wreckage of your house, I’ll deal with them immediately. And lastly, I can help you take revenge on them for the way they treated you. That’s if you give your consent,” Jasper said.

Sharon stopped crying and looked at him in surprise. As if in a trance, she raised her hands and cupped his cheeks… Jasper didn’t push her hands away instead he leaned towards it.

“Why are you suddenly being so nice to me?,” she whispered caressing his cheeks.

“I don’t know,” Jasper answered.

Is it only me that noticed it or is the atmosphere really getting romantic? Or am I just overthinking things?

“Okay, enough of the eye staring contest now! A crying baby needs your help!,” Jimmy’s sharp and loud voice surprised them as they immediately disengaged from each other.

When did this little brat come in? Sharon blushed out of embarrassment. She quickly stood up from the bed.

“Tia is crying? Where is Lena?,” she asked.

“How am I supposed to know that?,” Jimmy replied rudely. Sharon glared at him.

As she walked out, Jasper held her hands again. “Later, let’s go shopping for new clothes. You can’t keep on wearing the same dress everyday,” he said softly.

Sharon didn’t say anything but as soon as she turned around, she smiled. Jimmy rolled his eyes, sick of their obvious PDA (Public Display of Affection). He turned around and left with one thought on his mind.

“I really don’t get adults. One moment they wanna kill each other, the other moment, they behave lovingly towards each other,” he thought.

Sharon got to Tia’s room and met the baby crying in her cot. She’s kicking her legs and hands in the air protesting since no one came to carry her.

“Sssh… Honey… Stop crying. I hate to see you cry,” Sharon said before cooing at the baby. As soon as the baby heard Sharon’s voice, she stopped crying while looking around for the direction of where the voice is coming from.

Jimmy frowned as the baby starts giggling as soon as Sharon carried her. He walked out and went to his room. Then he locked the door and brought out a picture.

It’s a small picture that has almost faded. It’s the same picture of that South American beauty Jasper was looking at that night.

He sat on his bed suddenly looking sad and then he stroked the picture.

“Where are you mom? There’s a fatty now staying in our house… Don’t worry mom I don’t like her. But Tia loves her and dad…dad seems to like her. Come back soon mom. I’ll always love you,” he murmured.

Benedict sighed as he drank the nth cup of coffee. His eyes, already swollen like that of a panda due to lack of sleep.

His appearance completely disheveled. It seems like he didn’t go home last night. And I’m correct. He didn’t go home as he was too busy handling the stock problem.

“Hey, why isn’t he here yet?,” he called someone and asked angrily.

“Seriously, at this rate, I really think we may go bankrupt,” Ben said already very frustrated.

The shareholders won’t stop calling him. Instead of offering to help him, they are all complaining and talking about removing him.

He thought of what the first shareholder who called him had said. Did he really offend someone? Who could he have offended?

He thought of the people he knows he has offended but none of them seem powerful enough to have done this.

He saw a message from Sheila and smiled amidst of all his troubles. He quickly called his men to know if Sharon has gotten the surprise.

“Yes sir, the men stationed there to watch her said she came yesterday and looked really shocked to see the state her house is in,” the man answered and Ben smirked happily.

Ben was about to end the call when the man suddenly said,”There is another news you should know about. They told me that she was brought there in a limo and even had a chauffeur. The chauffeur waited for her until she was ready to leave.”

Ben’s smile froze as the man cut the call. A limo and chauffeur? What’s going on? He thought Aiden broke up with her so how does she suddenly have a limo and chauffeur?

Is Aiden secretly seeing her again or she has found a new rich boyfriend? Ben smiled coldly and thought that if it’s the latter, then that means she’s a wench.

How could she quickly move on from Aiden like that? Are ladies heartbreaks supposed to be like that? Or she never truly loved Aiden?

Ben paced around the room. No matter how he thinks of it, he still feel like something is fishy. Something isn’t right somewhere.

Her having a limo and chauffeur, does it have anything to do with the problem he’s currently facing. He brought out his phone and sent a message to Sheila.
