The Billionaires´ Redemption: HER SAVIOUR (Book2)

Chapter 2 - Jason Cox

Jason POV

** 6 Years Earlier **

After leaving Dalton 4 years ago, I went to Harvard to study Business Administration and Finance. My best friend Tony went to Architecture and Urban Design. As expected he had to pursue a career that involved him in his family company. As for me, my parents died a long time ago and I was cared for by my aunt. She has been controlling my family company for the last 13 years.

My parents died when I was 10 years old and my aunt took custody of me. She was eager to get control of everything, so she sent me away to Dalton. There I met Antonio Astor, my best friend and brother. I have always been good at two things: Partying and Girls. I am outgoing and a party beast. Not to mention that now that we are at University, I have been partying hard and wild.

Most of the time, Tony is groveling about missing Gianna, his long lost high school love, as for me I can care less about love and commitment. I usually go to bars alone and end up spending the night with some random girl, even having threesomes. As long as the girl meets my beauty criteria, I know I will be getting her. Most girls are interested in me, because mainly they are gold diggers, and gold is my middle name, so I have never struggled with getting what I want.

My dad left me a Media Company, with more than 5 different entertainment and news channels. Because of it, he branched out a Security Company, due to all the people that were sent to report news at the battle front. Yes I am a Billionaire heir, so partying with excessive money is not a problem. Of course that makes me super popular and I am milking it. If you ask around campus for Jason Cox, everyone will point my way.

I just hope to finish this last semester so I can take control of my business and do my own projects.

Today is our graduation day. I graduated with honors. I partied hard, but I studied harder. I love my degree and I am a natural businessman, so I never struggled with doing both things at the same time.

By the time we finished the graduation ceremony, I already had 3 invitations to hang out with some old one night stands. Usually I tried to attend those callings, since I know for sure they would end in casual s*x, but this time Tony´s family was in town and they invited me along to a restaurant, so I have to attend.

As soon as I entered the restaurant I noticed that Tony was awkward and uncomfortable. Maybe his dad was giving him s**t, like usual. Sometimes when I see that family dynamic, I am thankful that my dad is not here to bug me. “Hi Uncle Michael, Aunt Viv, Mac.” I greeted them and they nodded at me. Yep, they were throwing s**t around Tony´s decisions.

“So guys, when are you coming back to New York?” Uncle Mike asked and Tony was not happy, that as soon as he finished his dad was smothering him into working for their company. “Well Mr. Astor, I guess I will be going back next month, you know we need to close all the paperwork here. I don't know if at Tony´s degree they close that soon, though.” I said, trying to buy time for my brother.

“So, Antonio, one more month is all you will get.” Mr Astor said, and Tony lowered his head and nodded. I hate the way his dad treats him, and he is the poster boy. I guess my dad would have been disappointed in me if he was alive.

As soon as we finished our dinner, I asked Tony to come along to a bar. Thankfully he agreed, he is not a party animal like me, but sometimes he tagged along for good harmless fun. As soon as he leaves my party beast tends to come out.

It's been a month and Tony and I are all packed up. We are flying on my plane, since Mr and Mrs Astor took their plane to go to The Bahamas. As soon as we arrived in New York, I went home just to find out that my aunt decided to move in and take possession of all my stuff. Legally they are mine, but since the court granted her guardianship, she is taking advantage of that and using my inheritance as if it was hers.

“Hey Aunt Jackie. I am back.” I said while I entered the property. “Oh Hi Jason, We were waiting for you, I have some paperwork I need you to sign for me.” She quickly said, and I knew better. I know that she wants to rip me off or extend the guardianship. “Thanks Aunt, Let me have them. I will check them tomorrow with my lawyers.” I quickly said and took the papers from her hands. “Oh Jase, there is no need, we are family we can trust each other.” She said nervously.

“Sorry Aunt, one thing I learnt at school was that everything that is legal has to be reviewed by the lawyers. Tomorrow I will be going to the company, because I need to start the transition.” I said finally walking towards my room. My Aunt Jackie is my mom´s sister. My mother was a wealthy girl, but my dad was loaded. My Aunt married a scumbag and divorced him after a couple of years. She worked hard, but when my parents died, she saw the opportunity through my guardianship to have the life she envied from my mom. She thinks she is still dealing with the 10 year old scared boy that she left at Dalton all those years ago.

How much I miss my mother, she was the most amazing woman in this world. When I was in her presence I felt loved and treasured. I yearn to feel the same again, but my destiny is filled with people looking towards my way, because I hold a dollar sign next to my name. My father taught me how to be smart, street savvy and how to not involve my feelings in situations, but my mother taught me how to be caring, kind and how to forgive others' mistakes.I treasured my mothers lessons more. I just don't understand how this amazing woman shared blood with my coninving aunt.

I was about to lay on my bed when I received a message from Tony: “My parents had an accident, the plane crashed, no survivors.” s**t I need to be with my friend. My only constant and my only family.

The following month I have been busy. I ordered an audit on the company. The numbers were good, but not as they should be. So I immersed myself into rebuilding and changing some things that in the long run would benefit the overall income and revenue results. The board members agreed into having me on a trial two year period as CEO. I guess my party reputation preceded me, so they were hesitant to give me all the control.

Now that I have full control of my finances, and as a token of gratitude to Aunt Jackie. I decided to ask Tony for help in buying a property in the city and leaving my aunt the house that was my parents home. I also agreed with her that I will be giving her a pension, just as long as she stays out of my way and away from me.

Tony´s business partner, John, found me an amazing penthouse in the most exclusive area of Manhattan. I love my new place, and with Tony´s input I have a bachelor pad worth of any magazine cover.

I am very business oriented, and my dad had a couple of old business partners. My family holds the majority of stock options, but still I have to report to a board. And reporting to a bunch of old farts is not what I wish to do the rest of my days, so I started building up an investment portfolio and started doing my own things on the side. I have always believed that diversification is the key to maintaining a steady income.

Of course I have devoted my time during the day to working but during the night, well let's say I sleep an average of 4 hours. I know it is not healthy, but my d**k is used to lots of action, and having an adult boring life is not my thing. Also one of the advantages of owning a media company is that lots of beautiful women are around me. Naturally I would never engage in something inappropriate or unwillingly with any of them, but occasionally one or two could catch my attention and I had my share of fun.

Anyways with time, I decided to buy a simple well furnished apartment to bring my casual flings and no string attached s*x relationships there, so my safe haven, my penthouse, would remain untouched and a place for my own.
