Chapter 4
Title: Billionaire's Ex
"Cold revenge, Hot fate"
Chapter 4: Confession
Alex came out of NexusCore company, only to see Jason waiting for her. She actually came to visit her father and see how the business is going, it's only been 3 months and the company is now in the 5th best company in the city.Her father has been doing his best, he made sure only him had access to the company's finances, not wanting what happened before to repeat itself. He literally trusts nobody now. She couldn't be happier about her father's progress and how he's finally glowing, her relationship with Jason has been growing since the day she got sick. He has been cool to her. They eat breakfast together every morning, he talks to her now, he eats her food though he still didn't allow her with somethings like going to his room, there has been no intimacy or anything of such. And this is his first time picking her up, maybe he is taking things slowly. Though she wants things to move on fast but she doesn't want to rush things as she is afraid he might be cold to her again and she doesn't want that .
Where are we going? Alex asked as they drove down the road. Home of course, I was craving your food. Alex smiled at his silly words. She loves this side of him so much. I'm serious he added.
And I thought we were going to see a movie or something, Alex said. C'mon sweetie, I wanna spend time with you today, he said. Alex smiled broadly, maybe she will finally get to kiss those lips, she thought as she continued smiling.
Jason went up as soon as they got home while Alex went straight to the kitchen to make dinner. She went upstairs to call him when she was done dishing the food. She knocks but no response, she pushed the door and it opened. Jason has strictly warned her not to go into his room and she never got the chance to because the door was always locked. She entered quietly, the room was beautiful, gosh and it was big, his laptop was on, he was probably working but he wasn't in the room. Alex's eye caught something, it was a painting of her. She looked like a queen, "MY QUEEN " was written on it with Jason's signature. What are you doing, Jason said coming out from the bathroom with just a towel around his waist. I'm sorry, I just... Alex couldn't find words. He walked swiftly to her and kissed her unexpectedly she was shocked at first but responded to the warm kiss. Jason broke the kiss when he tasted salt, it was Alex's tears. Jason made her sit in his bed. I'm sorry Jason, I'm so sorry for what I did to you back then. I know nothing I say will justify what I did but I'm sincerely sorry. I made you hate women and destroyed your trust. I deceived you, I made you a fool in front of the whole school while you only loved me genuinely.
Why did you do that? He asked. It was a dare, you were a loner in school, you barely talked to the girls, I never planned to do that until Evelyn dared me to. I stupidly consented so I could be respected more. I'm so sorry Jason, I could have treated you better but I was so stupid back then. But now I promise to be good cause I love you now and giving me cold shoulders hurts me, she said as more tears rolled down her cheeks.
Jason wiped out her tears, he couldn't watch her cry, maybe he went too far in his little punishment for her but maybe that also made her realise what she feels for him.
You know I genuinely loved you back then, I was happy you came to me and confessed you liked me not knowing it was all fake. I didn't have the courage to approach you then given how sassy you were and always around your friends. But it's fine, I wanted to make you feel same way I felt after we met again but it was more like punishing myself because Alex I never stopped loving you, Jason said as Alex's eyes widened.
I thought you left school because you hated me? Alex asked not believing her ears. She always carried the guilt of hurting him, a part of her hated herself for what she did to him.
No, I left because I transferred to a college in Canada. I was going to tell you at the party but that happened. My dad wanted me to take over his company branch in Canada while studying, Jason said. Alex's tears rolled down her cheeks. I'm sorry she kept muttering. Jason wiped her tears and kissed her to calm her down. She liked how relaxed she felt in his arms, there is no way she will mess things up between them again. Her pride and stupidity was why she blew things up before but now she's willing to throw all that out and start a new beginning with the man she loves. Yes, and she can't wait for him to treat her like the queen she is.
You knew how to paint? Alex asked. Jason smiled, I learnt that in Canada and that painting of yours is the only still life drawing I have made. Alex smiled as she hugged him, she just wants to spend the rest of her life with this man. I want to watch you paint someday, Alex said. Of course you will sweetheart, he said patting her hair slowly.
Let's go eat before it gets cold honey, Alex said, she has already forgotten that was the main reason she actually came to call him.
