Noah led Amelia to Jasper’s office and they sat down.
He tried to talk to her, but she ignored him every time as her mind was somewhere else.
Noah huffed and stood up, “ do you want to eat something? Jasper’s pantry is filled with amazing snacks.”
Amelia shook her head and leaned against sofa. Noah went out to get something to eat.
After around two hours Jasper came back to his office. He was shocked to see Amelia lost in thoughts when Noah was talking non stop. She wasn’t paying attention to him which was quite odd.
Amelia was spooked as if she’d seen a ghost.
“What’s up, people?” he asked. They both looked at Jasper and Amelia released a relieved sigh.
He came closer and sat down after bro hugging Noah.
“Did you talk to dad?” before Jasper could say anything Noah interrupted.
“No, I didn’t. I’ll call him after dinner. And you get out of my office,” he said to Noah.
“No, I’m going anywhere. I want to know what is going on. It is enough now,” Noah refused to follow Jasper’s orders with determination.
“Fine,” Jasper sighed.
He turned to Amelia, “did you eat something, doll?”
“No, she didn’t,” Noah replied before Amelia could answer.
“Then get out, and bring something to eat,” he shot back at Noah.
Noah groaned and went out. Jasper called his assistant to order a good meal since he knew Noah would bring chips and soda from pantry in the name of food.
“Am, try to relax. I’ll make Noah to wait in the waiting area when we talk.”
“It’s okay, Jasper. He can stay. And also, there is no point of hiding anything now because we have to come forward with the truth.”
Jasper was about to say something when Noah entered with few packs of chips and some soda cans, and Jasper shook his head.
Noah dropped the bags of chips on the table and handed two cans to Amelia.
Air was thick with tension and only sound in the room was munching on chips. It was Noah who produced this.
“Yesterday, Kara told me that she’d told you everything.” Amelia initiated the talk. Noah stopped for a moment at looked at her with interest.
“Yes, she did. I know everything, Am.”
This made Amelia to burst into tears and Jasper engulfed her in his arms to calm her down. Noah was startled when he saw this. He had no idea what was happening.
After a couple of minutes, she composed herself.
Before she could say something, Jasper turned to Noah, “Noah, whatever you are going to witness or hear now, you’ll not say anything to anyone. Is that clear?”
“Yeah,” he nodded with startled expression.
“There are things which Kara doesn’t know, and there are things which Kara hasn’t told me. I know she has suffered way more than me, and I didn’t want to add more to her worries.”
“What are talking about, Am?” Jasper asked with caution.
“There are things which didn’t make sense then, but now they make sense.”
“What things?”
“A part of me always knew that William was not a sincere person.”
“William!” Noah exclaimed in shocked tone as this conversation wasn’t making any sense to him.
“Noah, just keep your mouth shut until we finish talking, and be prepared for the worst,” Jasper warned him.
Noah didn’t say anything after that.
Jasper tuned to Amelia.
“When Kara started dating William, everything seemed fine, and I genuinely liked him. But after few months, while I was on my way back to home from school, I saw a familiar car parked at some distance from the school gate. I saw my gym coach — Mrs. Fiona Walker — kissing someone in the front seat. I couldn’t see his face properly, but from the side I felt as if he was William. And that man saw me ,and he drove away while hiding his face. I made mistake not to see the name plate. So I had no solid evidence. I was confused as well, so naturally I felt as if I was seeing things. That day William came to our home, and he behaved normally. So I brushed that suspicion away; it seemed ridiculous to me to doubt him. But now I remember he was actually casting glances at me as if he wanted to talk to me. He didn’t get the chance, and when I didn’t say anything about my suspicion, he was sure that I didn’t see him. I was just ten years old, Jasper,” she said in slow voice; pain evident in it.
“I wish, I could understand what was happening and saved Kara from everything. It was my fault that I didn’t say anything about it,” she hiccuped.
“It’s not your fault, doll. Don’t blame yourself when you’re a victim here,” Jasper wiped Amelia’s tears.
“You know this intuition never went away, that’s why I avoided William after that. Then some other things happened which now make sense. My gym teacher started to give me extra attention after that day. She was always there to talk to me, she would praise me as if she was trying to be my best friend,” Amelia snorted at last part.
“On Kara’s last birthday, I knew something was wrong when she went with William for three days. We didn’t talk on phone, we messaged only. That was odd, but again I knew nothing what was going on. When Kara came back, she seemed off, and when I tried to talk to her, she just said that she was tired. I know something happened,” Amelia looked down in her lap.
Jasper squeezed her hands gently.
“You know, the day he kidnapped me, I think my gym teacher helped him. We were at campsite and she was there as a monitor. She asked us to go and explore that part of forest, and she was the one who made the teams and assigned the directions to us. I think it was all planned. And yes, when the accident happened, she took leave from the school, and she rejoined just a week before he returned. Please tell me Jasper that I’m not crazy and my mind is not playing any tricks on me, or I’m not accusing someone innocent,” she sobbed again.
Jasper just embraced her as if he was protecting her from something.
“We suspected that someone helped him, and I believe there are more people. And no Am, you’re not crazy. Whatever your mind is telling you, is not wrong. You stay careful, and let me handle this. Okay?” he looked into her eyes while speaking gently.
“Okay,” she replied.
“Should we tell mom and dad about this? Or, are you mad that you’ve to fight your brother because of us?” Amelia whispered.
“Yes and no. Yes, we have to tell our families the truth. They deserve to know. And no, I’m not mad because you’re not responsible for what he did. Now, don’t ever cry or feel alone. You can always come to me if you ever feel low or have some problem. I want to see you smiling, Am. And I mean it,” Jasper gave a gentle squeeze on her cheeks which made her smile.
“One last thing,” she spoke quickly, “mom said that he has amnesia. Does he?”
Jasper sighed, “everyone says so, but I and my friends don’t believe them. We think he is pretending, and it is about time he received the punishment for his sins.”
Just then a knock sounded, and Samantha informed them that their food was here.
Jasper asked her to bring it in.
Noah remained silent, but his face was mixture of emotions.
“Noah, are you alright?” Jasper asked.
“I’ll be, once you tell me the whole truth,” he replied. He was completely shaken with whatever he tried to understand from their talk. He couldn’t believe William could be a shady person, but then he remembered the day when William came back and Jasper told him there were things he didn’t know.
All three of them had their lunch in almost silence.
After saying goodbye, Noah and Amelia went away.
CHAPTER 27
Jasper locked himself in his office, and instructed his assistant not to disturb him. The things Amelia disclosed were also disturbing; however, this was an important piece in the puzzle which could have been difficult to discover.
After his meeting, he called Aaron and Et
han and updated them.
Aaron also told him that he’d hacked into William’s computer and also discovered a hidden server which was heavily encrypted. But he ensured he’d crack it by next morning. This relieved Jasper as he hoped this server would have all the pictures and videos which William used to blackmail Kara.
Jasper had no idea how he was going to reveal everything in front of their families, and also there was no evidence of William’s lies, yet.
It was nearly seven in the evening when Jasper finished his work for the day, and he was about to leave his office when Noah came back and demanded answers.
Jasper had no other option but to tell him everything. But before that, he informed Kara he’d be late.
Noah was beyond shocked, for few minutes he was silent.
“How? Why? How could… I don’t know what to say, man. This is not what I imagined,” Noah said in strange whisper. He was still trying to wrap his head around everything.
“I met him many times since he came back, and he didn’t show any sign of being shady,” Noah further said.
“I know, brother. Narcissistic psychopaths are skilled at hiding their true self. Even I couldn’t suspect him when I have lived with him under one roof for sixteen years. Or perhaps, his personality devolved after maturity. These are the question which only he can answer. We can only guess,” Jasper replied.
It was a quarter past eight when he reached home. His dark mood suddenly changed into surprise when he took into his surroundings. Lights were dim, and whole surrounding gave romantic vibes.
His eyes landed on Kara, and what he looked made him awestruck.
She wore a sleeveless, plain knee length red dress, hugging her delicate curves, giving him clear view what was underneath. Neckline wasn’t deeper but it gave a small view of valley between her breasts. Her make up was light; winged eyeliner and sinfully red lipstick. He felt tightness in pants.
Jasper put his briefcase and car keys on the side table. He walked up to her in slow strides, eying her body with obvious interest. With each second, he was getting hard in his pants.
Kara stood still at her place, and waited in anticipation. This evening was special to her.
Jasper’s face so close that she could feel his minty breath, and this caused butterflies in her stomach.
“If you’re trying to seduce me Mrs, Black, you are succeeding effortlessly,” Jasper ran his knuckles on her cheek. A sigh escaped her mouth. Her parted lips were enough for Jasper to lean down and kiss her. At first it was slow, but then he kissed her urgently while caressing her face in both hands.
Then he broke the kiss and looked into her eyes. His hand traveled down her body, feeling her curves. When he pulled her against him, a loud gasp escaped her mouth when she felt his hard cock. It sent thrill down her spine. Kara clenched her thighs together. She knew how big he was and how much pleasure he could bring to her.
His fingertips drew circles on her waist, and she arched in his arms. Her legs started to turn jelly, she had to wrap her arms around his neck to stop herself from falling.
Jasper walked her back few steps until her back hit the wall. He pressed himself into her to give her clear impression that he was fucking hard for her.
He kissed her again with force while running his hands on her body. Then his lips made their way to her jaw and he trailed hot and slightly wet kisses. Jasper ran his one hand on her thigh while keeping her place with other.
A full-body shiver ran through her, causing tingles all over her. Jasper pulled her dress up and ran his hand on her bare smooth skin. As if on their own accord, her legs parted and this gave Jasper the opportunity to explore further. He cupped her pussy over her panties, and she wet and hot there.
Jasper growled because he knew Kara was ready for him. He pushed the material aside and ran his finger along her slit, parting her pussy lips a bit. Kara moaned noisily when she felt his finger on her skin. He pressed his finger inside a bit, then he slid his wet finger on her pussy to lubricate her core further.
“God! So damn wet,” he panted.
Jasper stroker her for few seconds. He wanted to kiss her but stopped himself, the sight in front of him was pure bliss. They were still in their clothes, but too intimate at the same time. Kara’s face was flushed and her breathing ragged. Moaning sound came through her mouth every now and then.
Her hands went into his hair, and she fisted them. This jerked Jasper , and he slid his finger in her with force and she cried out.
Her pussy clenched around his long and thick finger. Jasper withdrew it before entering again. He repeated this a couple times, and before he knew he was thrusting his finger in and out at faster pace while the base of his palm rubbed her clit.
Kara was hot mess, quivering while he finger fucked her. His hard cock pressed against her one high. Kara also moved and rubbed herself against him. Jasper panted harder as he was barely controlling himself from taking his cock out and plunging into her. He leaned closer and his hot breath fanned on her face.
“Pl…please, Jasper…,” Kara got the words out but she didn’t know what she wanted to say.
He curled his finger a bit and it hit her G-spot. She screamed when a pleasure shot through her.
Her pussy started clenching around his finger in rapid motions.
“That’s right baby. Yes, that’s right. Come for me,” he husky voice took her to another level.
Kara wrapped both arms around his shoulders, her nails dug into his skin. Jasper increased his pace, and Kara arched against him as the pressure built inside her. He looked at her beautiful face, and the pleasure on her face took his breath away.
Kara felt her toes curl, and with a loud scream she released and her juices dripped on his hand, her pussy convulsed around his finger. Jasper gulped while controlling his breathing.
“So fucking beautiful,” he said and smashed his lips on her.
After kissing her passionately, he spoke first, “I love you, Kara. I love you so damn much.”
She was still in haze and she barely registered his words. But when she did , she froze for a second. She couldn’t believe he confessed first. She did planned a romantic night this to confess but this was even better when he said the words first.
Jasper looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to say something. A look crossed on face as he felt that she’d wouldn’t say anything. His finger was still inside her pussy, when he pulled out, Kara came to her senses.
She hugged him tightly and spoke the words he wanted to hear in emotion filled voice, “I love you too, Jasper. You’re my everything.”
He shuddered at her confession, and hugged her tightly.
Jasper buried his face in her crook of her neck, inhaling her scent.
Although Jasper wanted to take her to their bedroom but he knew Kara planned this special night, so he went according to her plan. Perhaps they finished their meal as quickly as possible so they could spend more time naked under the sheets.
That night they made love to each other multiple time. They only stopped when Kara felt extremely exhausted, and she struggled real hard to stay awake.
Jasper pulled her closer, hugged her tightly while they slept after mid night.
Next day Jasper tried to finish his work as soon as possible but still he was able wrap everything before 3. He had an important business to attend.
He reached his parents’ house. William was there. Apparently, he chose to stay with his parents after coming back as he felt dejected from everything due to his amnesia.
“Jasper? What a great surprise!” Sophia hugged her son lovingly, and Jasper returned her hug. Arthur was also home as he took leave from his work to spend time with his wife.
“Mom, how are you and dad?”
“We are fine, son. How is Kara and married life. Oh, and William is fine as well” Sophia said last part with hint of strictness to remind him that he didn’t ask about his brother.
“We are fine, and married life is suiting us. Where is Wi
lliam, by the way?” he asked.
“William and Arthur are in backyard. Come,” Jasper went with his mother.
A maid also brought tea and some snacks for every one as the approached the rest of the people.
Jasper’s anger flared upon seeing William laughing and enjoying his time with their father. He felt surge of rage coming through when he realized how carefree he seemed after destroying so many lives. In that moment, Jasper wanted to punch him in guts to unleash his anger. But he stopped himself. He had a plan to follow.
“What a lovely surprise! My son has decided to grace us with his presence,” Arthur spoke in playful tone while smiling at his fist born.
“I miss you, guys,” Jasper hugged his father he was always close to his parents, and his father was his role model.
William watched his brother with smile on his face. He stood up and went to hug Jasper, but he stepped away. His parents frowned at him.
“What is this, Jasper?” Sophia said in reprimanding tone.
“Nothing mom. I’m here on business,” he replied and sat down.
Rest of his family also sat down while giving him curious glances.
Before Jasper could say anything, William spoke, “Jasper, why are you so distant? You didn’t even call me once. And now you are totally treating me as a stranger.”
“I’m glad you asked ‘cause I’ve so much to say, and you have a lot of explanation to do.”
“I’m ready to answer your questions. I want us to be the perfect brothers again.”
This made Jasper to grit his teeth in annoyance.
“Why did you go to meet Kara’s family, and why are you trying to get closer to Kara? She is my wife and I don’t appreciate anyone poking their nose in our business.”
“Listen man, I know we were engaged, and I was going to marry her the day you married. Most importantly, she is pregnant with my child. Being a father, I’m entitled to be the part of my child’s life.”
“Wow! Fatherly feeling,” Jasper snorted and refrained himself from speaking further.
“Tell me, William. Do you really have amnesia?” Jasper probed.
