Entangled With The Crippled Billionaire

****

“Boss, I bought the shares. Fifty to be precise. Within eighteen seconds sir,” the man said as he called Jasper. Jasper smirked and looked at Sharon.

“I suddenly feel greedy. Buy the remaining shares and kick out the current CEO. They have to pay for what they have done,” Jasper replied.

The man wanted to ask,”Boss why did they do you?” but he swallowed his words. No one dared to question the boss. “I’m on it sir. I’ll give you feedback,” the man answered before cutting the call.

He sighed and looked at his laptop as soon as he cut the call. This is gonna be difficult. Cause the remaining shares is in possession of the current CEO. How on earth will he convince the owner of the company to sell his shares?

He doesn’t know why his boss has such a quite exquisite and difficult taste. Why does he even suddenly have interest in this small company?All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Jasper looked at Sharon as soon as he cut the call. He stroked her cheeks and mumbled to her,”You should have waited in the office like I asked you to. Why didn’t you wait for me? Why did you let them do this to you?”

Cole sighed and replied,”Cousin, didn’t you know she would get bored? Why would you leave her in the office for so long? Why did you even take her there in the first place?”

“I didn’t expect the meeting to take such a long time. And she was sick that’s why I asked her to tag along with me to the office,” Jasper answered him.

Just then the car stopped in the garage. As a bodyguard carried Sharon in with Jasper closely behind them, Lena rushed to the entrance holding a wailing baby. Our baby Tia of course.

“Oh my God! What happened? Who did this to her!!?,” Lena shouted as she saw the bruises on Sharon’s body. Sorry mistake, I mean injuries. The shout made Tia’s cry even louder.

“Have you called Ann?,” Jasper replied and Lena nodded.

“Oh my! Why is the little princess crying?,” Cole asked as he collected Tia from Lena. Lena smiled and greeted him,”She missed her mom.”

Cole looked confused,”Her mom?” “She was missing Sharon,” Lena explained. Cole nodded as he now understood what she was trying to say.

They followed Jasper as he took Sharon to his room. As soon as he laid her on the bed, Sharon stirred but didn’t wake. Instead the tears started falling again.

Jasper couldn’t help but sigh. Lena looked at her sadly. “She has been crying like this although she didn’t open her eyes. Why would they do this to her? How could they have hurt their own daughter like this?,” Jasper spoke harshly, his face taut with anger.

Lena climbed on the bed and pats Sharon’s hair slowly. “Sister in-law, it’s okay. Please stop crying,” she told Sharon gently on the bed. But Sharon only trembled on the bed.

“It… It hurts… It hurts a lot,” she said quietly. Those familiar words. Jasper looked angry as he shouted,”I’m tired of hearing her say those words. I so much hate that word it hurts. I swear I will kill those bastards for daring to touch her like this.”

He brought out his phone, prepared to call the bodyguards in charge of torturing Mr and Mrs Winston but Cole collected the phone from his hand.

“Cousin, don’t act so rashly. Let her get better first,” Cole told him trying to persuade him to calm down. Lena went out and came back with an ointment.

She began to rub it slowly on Sharon’s swollen cheeks. By now Tia already fell asleep from exhaustion of crying too much. Jimmy walked in quietly. He looked at Jasper and the latter also looked at him.

None of them said anything. Similar faces staring at each other with the same cold expression. Cole looked at them wondering what’s going on.

“Jimmy, are you mad at me? Why didn’t you greet your favourite uncle?,” Cole asked him and Jimmy finally noticed him. He ran to Cole and smiled. “I’m sorry uncle. How do you do?,” he asked him with that cute, adorable expression.

“I’m fine. You?,” he asked. Jimmy was about to say something when Sharon suddenly winced out loud. Jimmy looked around surprised and saw Lena applying something on Sharon’s face.

He walked towards the bed curiously. Ever since that bathroom incident, he hasn’t seen her. But he thought she is already healthy. As soon he got to bed, he opened his mouth in surprise. He gradually felt even more guilty than before when he saw the injuries on her body.

Sharon has never done anything bad to him and he treated her that way. Lena saw the look on his face and before she could even say anything, Jimmy already ran to Jasper.

“Dad! I’m sorry. Please tell aunty Sharon to wake up. I’m sorry,” he cried out shocking everyone in the room. Cole looked at him wondering what he’s talking about.

Why is he acting like Sharon is dead? Well, he doesn’t understand how children minds work. They can see something and just think of the worst scenario. Jimmy probably thought Sharon is dead and he’s the one that killed her by locking in the bathroom.

Jasper chuckled and carried him with a little bit of difficulty. It seems like this little brat is gaining much weight lately. He laughed softly and Jimmy frowned with his cheeks already wet.

“Dad, it’s not funny. Please tell aunty Sharon to wake up!,” he said again. Jasper couldn’t help but continue laughing. See the little brat. He always claimed he is matured as he is seven years plus. But he simply panicked cause he saw Sharon on the bed with injuries all over her body.

“Stop crying you little brat. I’m glad you are sorry now but don’t panic. She is not dead,” Jasper told him.

Jimmy simply looked at him refusing to believe what he is saying. He already watched this in a movie before where the parents of the child died and they lied to the child that they are not dead.

“Dad, tell aunty Sharon to wake up! I want to tell her sorry. I won’t call her fatty again or lock her in the bathroom,” he said and Cole jaw slackened in astonishment.

“You locked cousin in-law in the bathroom!,” he said and Jimmy looked down not knowing how to answer. Lena laughed and answered,”Yes, he thought it was fun so he locked her up and then slept off. Where the heck is Ann!? Why is she taking so much time to come?”

Just as she said that, Ann walked in with her box. You know all those medical box that always has sign of red cross on it. I think it’s called the first aid box.

“I am here already. Oh my good Lord! What happened to her?,” Ann couldn’t stop herself from shouting as she saw the injuries on Sharon’s body.

Inwardly, she was secretly thanking whoever did this to Sharon. The b*tch deserves it. Meanwhile Cole went out to put Tia in her cot cause all these noises may wake her.

Ann checked Sharon’s body and begin to administer treatment on her. As soon as she was done, Sharon looked better than before. The plasters on her body covering the injuries. Her cheeks also looked less swollen unlike before.

Ann wrote down a list of drugs for her and gave it to Lena before saying,”If she keeps on getting injured and not being able to recover from the cold, I’m afraid she will have to come to the hospital for proper treatment.”

Lena nodded and Jasper only stared at Sharon. Jimmy asked quietly,”Is aunty Sharon going to be okay?” Ann looked at him and smiled at the mini version of Jasper.

She bent down and said,”Of course honey, your aunt will be fine.” She smiled sweetly and reached out to pat his hair but Jimmy stopped her with an annoyed glare.

“Don’t touch me,” he said coldly and Ann’s fingers froze in the air. Even though she kept the smile on her face, she was seriously annoyed at the little brat.

How dare he talk to her so rudely? Meanwhile Jimmy glared at her. She thinks he will be fooled with her fake smile, then she should try again.

“Thank you Ann. I’m grateful. Lena will lead you out,” Jasper said and Ann nodded disappointed. What was she thinking that he would ask her to stay like before? Lena led her out and Jimmy followed.

Jasper went to the bed and stroked Sharon’s hair. Then after a while, he said,”Will you marry me if I ask you to?” Wtf!!!.
