Emily’s Dilemma: Seduced by Billionaire Brothers

“Oh my God!” Emily sprang up immediately a strange text hit her phone, and she stared at it with shaky hands, her rate instantly going up. It was a location pin from a strange number with a text attached to it

‘Don’t tell Ethan’ it said

Confusion clouded her brain, she stared at it long enough waiting for her brain to click.

Who could it be? And when it finally clicked like a lightbulb suddenly coming up and lightng up the grey areas in her brain. Could it be – it had to be, it was the only logical explanation.

It was Jackson! She looked around her, she was still in the Hatton family house and this time Mr. and Mrs. Had retired sadly to the bedroom.

Immediately she bolted for the door but just as she stepped outside she came in contact with Ethan and she stopped abruptly,

“Where are you off to?” his eyes didn’t meet hers, and she didn’t want to look at him either not after the spectacle he had caused earlier.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Emily?” he called again when she didn’t respond “Where are you going, it’s not safe right now. Apart from a potential kidnapper lurking around, the streets is full paparazzi”

Emily looked at him, unsure of what to say and she remembered the text “Don’t tell Ethan” and she wondered why.

“I’m just stepping out a bit” she told him, her eyes flinty as she looked at him and at the same she didn’t. Ethan was not her favorite person that moment, and Jackson’s cryptic text seemed to be adding more to the flame dislike that moment.

“Where? I’ll come with you” he offered, his voice softer like an overcompensation but Emily was impatient so she backed away with a slight scowl on her face.

“I really don’t want to talk to you right now Ethan” she said, backing away slowly “I’ll be right back” she wasn’t so sure how true that statement was, she had no idea where she was going but she missed Jackson and she needed to bring him back, that was the only that roamed her already confused brain. She backed away from Ethan who stared at her as she walked away, the urge to follow her knocked at his heels but held them back, he managed to hold himself. He knew he had gone too far earlier, so he held back as he always did.

Emily walked out into the street and hailed a cab, she linked the location pin with the driver and it was like a hour drive from the city, suddenly she felt unsure. Why was she doing this? What if Jackson was in more danger than she imagined and she was equally putting herself in that same danger but the car had started moving already and it felt like she no longer had a choice.

Sooner than she expected, the cab dropped her at the location and it was a deserted warehouse a few meters from a gas station and a convenience store. In all honesty, it wasn’t all creepy like she expected it to be although she had her reservations about going in but she braced herself, Jackson had saved her one too many times and that moment she owed it to him.

Emily took a deep breath, inhaling the dusty air that settled on her nose and she placed one foot in front of the other as she walked towards the large metal sliding door and she was surprised to find it open, she pushed it open with ease and it gave way. The smell of old paints and dusty boxes hit her nose immediately as her eyes met with the darkness and she tried to adjust her eyes to it. Suddenly she felt someone grab her immediately, their gloved hands covering her mouth and muffling the scream that threatened to escape. Just then, a handkerchief went over her nose and everything went black.

***

Ethan Hatton stood outside his father’s mansion, confused and pacing anxiously when the call came in, he was hesitant to take the call at first but then again he had no reason exactly not to, so he hit the green button of his phone, taking his phone to his ears.

“What is ” he was going to ask but the other person cut through first, their voice grave, deep and a little tired.

“He knows” they said “The girl is on her way here”

“What girl oh” Ethan came to realization immediately as the memory of Emily leaving the house came to mind

“And Jackson?” he asked

“Knocked out but not for long” the other side “But I guess it’s none of your concern anymore, last I remembered you said you were done so it’s a different ball game now”

“What do you ” Ethan was going to ask but the line went dead immediately

“Son of a b- ”

“Oh shit! What have I done?”

Ethan paced nervously for a few seconds before he speed walked to his car, he had Emily’s location pinned to his phone since he never actually knew the exact location that Jackson was kept. Immediately he got into his car and zoomed off, his mind reeling over the different possibilities that could happen. His mind going over the reasons about why was this was happening exactly, and how he had met Uncle James again, his father’s best friend and his revenge filled vendetta.

The man needed his revenge and money attached to it, lots of money it would be impossible for Ethan to cough out on the spot without suspicious. The man needed money and he needed Jackson out of the way for a few days to carry out his plan he needed Emily to get rid of the baby, but that didn’t work out too well.

He hadn’t expected Jackson’s disappearance to garner too much attention but it did and that was why he wanted out and even after hearing Jackson talk about him accidentally over the phone, to hear his brother admit to getting more attention and love, it hit a spot he didn’t even know existed especially when it came to Jackson. True, they hadn’t been the best of friends right from time, they were in love with the same woman with the odds not in his favor at all, a big part of his loved his brother and he wished the insecurity and jealousy he felt never existed and now it seems Emily had gotten involved in the dirtiest part of their squabble and it was the last thing he wanted that moment.

He had to save her he had to save them both.
