Emily’s Dilemma: Seduced by Billionaire Brothers

The heaviness her head. Even her eyes felt heavy as she tried to force them open, the realization of the cold hard floor that she lay on suddenly hitting her, but she didn’t bolt upright immediately. She waited, allowing her eyes to adjust to the darkness before she moved. The dizziness engulfed and took all of her willpower not to give into it and go back into a dreamless sleep

Jackson

His name rang in her head as she sat up slowly, turning her head around when she found him just lying down just a few inches from her

“Jackson” she whispered softly, inching towards him and she touched his skin and it was burning hot. She called his name again, shaking him a little until he stirred and he turned around to face her, his eyes suddenly going wide when he realized it was her.

“Emily what are you ” his words came out in broken bits “How did you ” he moved closer to her and cupping her face in his hands, the hotness of his hands warming the iciness of her skin and she relished in his touch.

“I came for you Jackson” she whispered to him, his hands still on her face and she placed her hands on top of his

“No Emily, you shouldn’t not have come here at all. If anything happens to you, I’ll never be able to forgive myself”

“Nothing is going to happen Jackson” she was going to say when the suddenly bright white light filled the room and they both saw James approaching them, a mocking smile on his face.

“Oh I’m sorry, did I interrupt? By all means go ahead” he said and Emily turned her gaze back to Jackson, her brows raised in confusion, fear and uncertainty danced in her eyes in the form of her dilated pupils.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Who’s he Jackson?” she asked in a whisper and she realized she had been doing a lot of whispering lately.

“Someone who has a vendetta against my father and my family” Jackson whispered back but pulling her closer to him and sticking to her side.

“Emily is it?” James asked “You’re an idiot”

Emily’s eyes widened as she studied him and ignoring his condescending tone. She looked at his face and there was no hint of familiarity in them. His eyes were sunken and they had no soul in them, not even the faintest, it gave a little of hardship and tiredness but still tainted by the vendetta he carried heavily on his shoulders. She studied the shabby clothes he wore, a worn out red flannel shirt over a wife beater and some old jeans that were already faded.

Suddenly she saw something that caught her eye, on his wrist, her red crimson bracelet hanging loosely and glistening illegally. She looked back at his face, wondering how a total stranger had happened to come in contact with her bracelet.

Wait

Was he responsible for what happened to her at the hospital? Had he tried to kill her baby as part of his elaborate revenge plan. The so-called James was looking at her now and she spoke, pointing at the bracelet on his wrist.

“That bracelet?” she started “How did you ”

“How do I happen to have it?” He completed her statement for her and then he smiled, grabbing the same chair he had sat on earlier with Jackson

“I picked it up from the floor at your second wedding, someone dropped it by the woman that ruined your wedding and I know what it meant because I have always been watching watching and I know more than you think” he said

“Was it you that tried to kill my baby” she asked and she didn’t even need an actual answer because James was smiling at her now. The same kind of ‘I’m evil but I love it’ kind of smile.

“Bingo” he affirmed eventually “You’re smart, she’s smart” he turned to Jackson

“Why?” Emily was dumbfounded, her hand suddenly clutching her stomach as if shielding it from the evil that stood before her, wishing she could run as far away as possible but she was stuck in this old dingy warehouse in an attempt to save the man she was truly in love with.

“Why would you do such a thing?” she asked again and he shrugged, “That I cannot tell you, miss”

“Why?”

“I’m the one asking the questions here miss” James thundered but Emily had her eyes covered in fury as she stood up and Jackson stood up with her, unsure of what she was about to do and she took a step back

“Stay back” James thundered again but Emily wasn’t listening, even when Jackson tried to hold her back, she pried herself off him

“Emily what are you doing?” Jackson tried to caution

“He tried to kill my baby, our baby Jackson” she said stepping further but just as she placed a foot, James whipped out a gun from his back and yelled “I said stay back!”

Emily froze on her feet with Jackson suddenly stepping in front of her in a bid to protect her

“I’m not scared of you” Emily tried to step further again amidst Jackson trying to shield “What do you want from us?”

“I already said it, that I want my glory back” he kept his gun fixed on them “If you move one step, I swear I’m going to shoot”

Suddenly the doors flung open and Ethan emerged “No one is shooting anybody” and like a reflex he went straight for James, a hard punch to his jaw and a quick kick to his knees, sending him straight to the floor and the gun flying out of his hands landing on the floor in their middle. But James recovered quickly and lunged for the gun with every bit of willpower that he possessed, with Ethan doing exactly the same.
