Billionaires Series ON HOLD

Chapter 3

Jasper

I couldn't do this not again. I couldn't drag up the past, a past I wish to forget. Why had Alexander turned up today of all days? Apart from the invite to Luca’s and Alaina’s wedding, why would he even bother showing up?

I hadn't seen him in a decade after Alissa’s death. He was never the same, he wasn't the Alexander I had fallen in love with. He was a compassionate lover and always told you how much he loved you. He never mixed his words and told it to you straight. But after his sister's death it had changed he became the shell of the man I fell in love with.

He began pushing everyone away instead of talking about how he felt We all missed Alissia. We all loved her. She was a breath of fresh air here and Alaina would've made good friends though Luca would undoubtedly have chosen Alissis over her no doubt in my mind. But that doesn't matter now. What matters is my best friend is happy and married to Alaina who understands him more than anyone else. This may have come as a shock to her but she is a caring and understanding woman that's why she is my best b***h. She's always making sure I am okay and have got my s**t together. She's a true angel and that prick Elijah never deserved a woman like her. She was too pure for him and he was an evil sadistic bastard who liked to dip his d**k in anything that walked.

They have some kind of business deal with him but I doubt that will last long as he will destroy their marriage one way or another and they know he will but they will be ready.

Now back to why I'm feeling so f*****g down I loved Alexander I was with him a long time and to have the love of your life disappear on you like he had tore me apart. Now the b***h is back and wanting to talk to me and tell me why he had left we'll bring it on b***h you can talk all you like but this b***h isn't taking your sorry ass back not now not ever.

Alexander

I can't stop thinking about the hurt and pain that flashed over Jasper's beautiful face. One I've never forgotten. My heart squeezed. I knew I had made him like that. I needed to tell him exactly who yi left and I had not once ever stopped loving him. I want a fresh start with him by my side. I know I've screwed up with him leaving like I did all those years back but I was on a downhill spiral after my sister's untimely death and I had to get my head out of the gutter and get my life back on track.

Lucca found me by pure coincidence. He was on the city of my hometown where I have been hiding out for the past ten years it had surprised me when he walked up to me and didn't land me on my ass for leaving Jasper alone to deal for my sister's death but I had to this alone before I went into a dark place that I was sure that I would never come out of alive. It had taken years of therapy and counselling to get me where I am now.

I met up with Luca two years ago and he had a proposition for me. He knew I was looking for an investment in my new company and he had the collateral to help me make my business grow. But with it came a clause. I had to come home after the business took off and open another office here and make amends with Jasper or the deal was off and I would end up with nothing again. I agreed cause I not only wanted to see Jasper again but to set things straight with him.

My business grew and grew and I had an opportunity to invest in a property here and close to Jasper he had no idea I had offices here and he wouldn't either unless we kissed and made-up.

So that's where the wedding came into it. Luca had hoped Jasper would have forgotten about what had happened all those years ago. So had I, but no such luck.

Luca wanted us to kiss and make up. He didn't want to have to make me bankrupt or have me in the streets for a mistake made a decade ago. But I knew Jasper was a stubborn ass and he didn't forgive easily but I wasn't going to give up either Jasper or Alaina knew about our business deal and we vowed to keep it to ourselves indefinitely. I just had to get Jasper to understand why I had left and why I hadn't come back until now without involving mine and Luca’s business together.

Alexander

I have never loved anyone more than I loved Jasper. I needed to see him and try to sort things out with him. He was my soul mate. I knew that we were destined to be together when our eyes first met on that cold windy day at college. He had the most beautiful blue eyes that I had ever seen and my gaydar had told me he was as gay as the boy next door. I had had plenty of relationships growing up but I had never felt that zing until him. He was like a lightning bolt going off and the static electricity between us was phonomonal I only had to touch him once and it sent bolts of static electricity through me. We had enrolled in the same A levels apart from art which was his fortay and he was damn good at it

My sister always commented that I was a lost soul and would never find true love and I only ever wanted to screw around because of the amount of boys I had seduced before getting them into my bed. I was the bad boy of Eastwood Academy. No boy had ever lasted longer than a month. Truth was I just wanted to live life to the max before I settled down but I got more than I bargained for when I met Jasper. There was just something about him that I wanted to keep him around and not for one night or a few weeks or months but forever. We started off as friends with benefits but it soon turned out to be a lot more. The s*x was mind blowing along with play time. We were always with each other and my sister came to love him as much as I did and told me never to let go of him. He was a keeper. I told her I didn’t intend to.

Alysia was a few years younger and she began college as Jasper and I went to uni. She met Luca during lunch and they clicked straight away and they soon became involved. Luca was a friend of Jaspers though he was younger. Then tragedy struck when my younger sister because ill we all rallied around her but she was growing weaker though she never showed it she was inspiring and Luca was so in love with her and her fiery personality she was something else she never looked a gift horse in the mouth. What neither of them know is she asked me to take care of them both and make sure they didn’t mourn her death and live life to the fullest. She made me promise I would live my life after her demise and propose to Jasper like I was promising to do. I had then it all just got too much after her passing. There was someone missing, something missing I tried so hard but I ended up shutting the person I loved the most out.

Now I’m back and I will do what it takes to win his heart. I’ve given him a week to think about talking to me and our relationship. Now I’m here hoping he will see me and let me explain everything to him as I knock on the door of the address Luca gave me.

Fingers crossed.

A few minutes later the door opens with a very tired Jasper squinting at me. Damn he looks sexy with his bed head like he had when we were sharing a room. “Alex?” He questions.

“The one and only.”

“What are you doing here alex? It’s eight thirty in the morning and how the hell did you get my address? On second thoughts don’t answer the second I’m going to kill Luca.”

I smirked, those two had a weird relationship for sure but I knew he would just shout the odds at him for giving me his address, nothing serious. “I came to see you. We need to talk.”

“I need time Alex.”

“I’ve given you a week, what more time do you need?”

“An eternity.” He mumbles.

“Can I come in please? I'll say my peace and go.”

“Sure whatever. Come in.”

I smile and enter the apartment and he closes the door and we head into the large living diner. “Drink?”

“No thanks.”

“I'll need one if I’m going to hear you out.”

“Knock yourself out.”

I nod.

“Sit down Alex, you're making the place look untidy.”

I chuckled and sat on his large sofa.

He poured himself a scotch on the rocks and walked over to me and sat on the furthest chair away from me.

“Well talk then, time is money.”

“Are you working today?”

“Later.” He glared at me.

I cleared my throat. “I know I’ve said sorry to you before, but I’m truly sorry for everything in the past.”

“So you said Alex just get on with it, it’s not like I haven’t heard it all before anyway.”
