Emily’s Dilemma: Seduced by Billionaire Brothers

Jackson stared at Blair dumbfounded, unable to speak or move as his eyes travelled down her belly that still seemed flat and she rolled her eyes

“Of course, I’m not showing yet. I’m just a few weeks gone” she said to him, then she stood up from the table and roamed the large study aimlessly.

“My father is ruthless and if he finds out I’m pregnant, he’s going to send me off far away with no money and probable kill Jesse”

“Jesse?” Jackson questioned.

“My boyfriend, the father of my baby and who by the way doesn’t know anything yet so he probably hates me now because he moved all the way here for me and I can’t even -” her voice broke halfway as tears gathered in a pool at the corner of her eyes and she turned away from him, with Jackson still staring dumbfounded ather.

“Uh -” he stretched his hands towards her in a bid to console her but he didn’t know how to so he retreated until she turned back to face him, her eyes crystal clear.

“So please, just ride along till I figure what to do because I’m so confused and this is the best plan I could come up with for the mean time, getting engaged to you” she told him, walking back to where he still sat

“You have to help me” she stretched out her hands to him willing him to take it, with her eyes fixated on him as he stared at her, her hands and she urged him on with a plea.

“Please!”

He took her hands in his and they exited the room together, her sweaty hands within his as she tried to control her shaky breath

“What are you goingto do about Jesse, or whatever his name is” Jackson asked as they walked towards the party that was already bustling below at the large hall that had a silvery look to the eye, swinging chandeliers another rhyming with the clinking champagne glasses below.

“I’ll figure it out” she said

“You have to tell him” he said while they walked down the stairs “I mean he has the right to know”

“Okay, I will. I’ll tell him after the party – ” she wanted to say but stopped when she spotted a familiar curly head amongst the fancy crowd before them and she stopped in her tracks when he turned to face her and their eyes jammed and she felt like her heart would burst, and even worse when she saw he was holding unto someone.

“He’s here” she said to Jackson with a shaky voice

“He’s here and he’s here with someone else”

“What!” Jackson searched the crowd, there was a lot of people and he wasn’t sure who he was looking at

“Where?”

“There!” Blair pointed and he saw Emily first before he could see the guy holding unto her hand just as the whole crowd cheered for them as they walked to the front of cheery crowd and they got distracted immediately with everyone rallying around them to congratulate them and he lost her.

Jackson felt his whole body vibrate but he couldn’t move an inch, he stood still with Blair holding his hands tightly as she smiled at everyone but he was distracted, he couldn’t think neither could he focus.

“Focus” she mouthed beneath the wide smile she had on and he turned to look at her, mirroring her smile too as they shook hands with people that surrounded them. Soon enough, when the crowd had dispersed and enjoying the party, Blair pulled Jackson aside

“I have to find him” she said, a certain panic rising in her voice that Jackson couldn’t relate to, he needed to find Emily, and who was that guy she was with? It wasn’t Ethan for sure, and for all he cared Ethan wasn’t even here at all.

Was she trying to make him jealous, well good for her because it was working and his throat suddenly felt tight as the memories of Emily holding the strange guy flooded his memories again.

“I have to tell him” she said againText property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Well good for you, there’s someone I have to find”

Meanwhile Emily stood nervously while Jesse went to get her a drink, he returned handing her a glass of champagne but she knew it wouldn’t be enough to soothe her nerves but she took it anyways.

“Where’s your girlfriend?” she asked, taking a sip from her glass and he pointed at the two people gracefully walking down the stairs with bright smiles on their face and Emily stopped in her tracks, the glass nearly falling from her hands when she spotted Jackson and she gasped.

“That’s-” she found it impossible to find her words

“That’s-”

“That’s Jackson Hatton, apparently some billionaire heir” Jesse said but with voice laced with venom and Emily nodded

“That’s the man I’m in love with” she said quietly and Jesse whipped his head quickly to look at her

“What!” he said in shock “What are the freaking odds?”

Emily shrugged, the feelings rising within her were more than just nerves, it was the jealousy that stemmed from within when she spotted Jackson walk in with the girl, his face brightly lit with a large smile and she had never seen him smile so brightly before.

“I’m so livid, I can’t believe he’ll do that to me” she said as most of the crowd surrounded them but she stayed put with Jesse who equally mirrored her hurt expression.

“I can’t believe she’ll do that to me” he said too absent mindedly but suddenly he turned to Emily grabbing her gently by the shoulders.

“Do you trust me?” he asked, looking into her eyes and she shook her head, eyeing him suspiciously

“I mean we came here for something right and we can’tleave without achieving it” he said again

“What do you have in mind?” she asked

“Do vou trust me?”

This time Emily felt at crossroads but she thought again what did she really have to lose in that moment so she nodded, her eyes never leaving his and him doing the same as he grabbed her by her waist and pulled her closer, ignoring the chaos and throng of people that surrounded them and his eyes winded close as his lips met hers.
