????DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH???? - Episode 3

Sharon looked at him again, stunned. Sitting in front of her is Jasper Madon. He’s one of the most popular billionaires in the city. He has been trending lately on headlines cause he recently just lost his wife and his legs to a tragic accident.

He uses a wheelchair. Sharon stared at him as she couldn’t believe that she is sitting in front of the nations’ husband.

Yes, even before the accident, tabloids and magazines have always tagged him along with the title of the nation husband. Meaning he is the most sought after man in the city.

The tabloids may be right about him being cold-hearted but they forgot to add that he’s also cocky and arrogant. He smirked at her coldly.

“What were you doing out there alone? Your clothes even looks wet meaning you must have sat in the rain. What were you thinking?,” he spoke lowly in an icy tone emitting an intense pressure on the other occupants in the car. Well except Sharon of course.

Sharon frowned and answered,“ I don’t think that’s your business Mister. Why have you asked your men to kidnap me? I didn’t request for your help! So let me go right now!”

The chauffeur was about to start driving away but when he heard the angry lady’s voice, he stopped confused on what to do. But as soon as he looked at the mirror and noticed the cold look on his boss face, he immediately knew what to do.

Of course, Sharon saw all this and frowned. “Why is he doing the opposite of what she asked for?” He smiled and asked, “Who saw them kidnap you?”

Sharon immediately stopped shouting and looked out of the window. Everywhere is dark and there’s no one in sight. So even if she wants to report this cocky man, no one would be able to assist her as there won’t be any witness. That is if the security will even believe her.

She suddenly panicked immediately thinking of begging him to release her. But then with her stubborn personality, she refused to apologise for doing nothing. So instead she started screaming for help while banging on the window loudly.

Jasper looked up feeling annoyed wondering if he made a mistake. The bodyguard that had literally forced Jasper to bring her in cause of his complaints looked away in fear.

He dare not look at his face afraid to see the scary, cold and possibly annoyed look on his face. “Tch! So noisy,” Jasper said quietly. Sharon glared at him, her voice already raspy from shouting.

She was about to say something when his phone vibrated. Jasper glanced at the message and sighed. He suddenly looked so exhausted. Sharon swallowed what she wanted to say reluctantly, wondering why there is a sudden change in his expression.

She quit screaming and watched him lie back on the seat closing his eyes. Only after she had noticed the sudden sadness and exhaustion in his eyes.

★★★★★★

‘Brother,Tia is crying non-stop again and Jimmy has refused to go to bed until he sees you,’ this was the message Jasper read. It’s from his younger sister, Lena. He sighed and closed his eyes.

Ever since Amber died in that fatal accident, he had to raise their two young children alone. It would have been difficult without Lena because during that accident he didn’t only lose his wife, he also lost the use of legs.

Now he has to rely on wheelchair for the rest of his life. Jimmy has been a very understanding kid. He didn’t even ask questions or say anything when he couldn’t find his mother.

But it’s really hard on Tia. She is just four months old and needs her mother’s breastmilk. He was contemplating getting a wet nurse for her but Lena refused saying she could take care of the baby herself.

But now he really should consider hiring a wet nurse as it’s difficult for Lena to juggle between school activities and also take care of the kids.

He sighed again thinking,’ Amber why did you leave? I can’t do this without you.’ He closed his eyes and murmured,“ Why did they do this to us? She didn’t deserve this.” Sharon looked at him confused,“ Who is he talking about?”

Neither him or Sharon said a word as the limo slowly drove away. Two quiet, broken hearts silently comforting each other.

As they arrived at their destination, Sharon gaped at the gigantic mansion amazed at the beauty and splendour of it. She couldn’t stop staring at it. Even though she’s from a rich family, the rich also has it own level.

We have the average class rich, the middle class rich and the high class rich. Sharon falls in the middle class rich even though she didn’t get to enjoy the benefits of the wealth.

Jasper slowly opened his eyes seeing that the limo stopped. And the first thing he saw was Sharon staring out of the window with her mouth opened.

“ Tch… Close your mouth or you might actually end up swallowing a fly. Besides no one wants to see your yellow teeth,” he said enjoying the change of expression on her face.

Sharon closed her mouth abruptly and turned to look at him. There was no sign of the sad or exhausted expression on his face earlier.

He’s back to being cocky and arrogant. Let’s add rude to the list. She looked at him. He has a handsome face like an angel but the beauty doesn’t match with his characters at all.

She imagined herself beating him to a pulp right now and smiled happily cause she was hitting him hard with a stick in her imagination. But then, he flicked his fingers in front of her and interrupted her happy thought.

“Why are you smiling that way? It doesn’t suit your chubby face,” he remarked rudely. Sharon glanced at her smile in the window screen.

What does he mean? Her smile looks beautiful. She turned around and glared at him.

Before asking,“ Why have you brought me here? Take me back right now!” Jasper rolled his eyes wondering who was just looking amazed right now and why she’s pretending that she wants to go back.

Even after his accident made him unable to stand upright again, that fact didn’t stop women from chasing him relentlessly. They still sent him numerous love letters and flowers that used to annoy Amber when she was alive.

Jasper smiled remembering the day Amber beat up one of his female staffs just because she made coffee for him and put love designs on it. Meanwhile Sharon shivered watching Jasper smile while in deep thoughts. His smile is really scary right now. What the heck is he thinking about?

“You should frown more often. Smile doesn’t suit your face because you like the joker right now,” Sharon spoke rudely.

Immediately she said that, it wiped off the smile on his face and replaced it with a frown. He looked at the rude woman opposite him and felt like yanking her hair so hard that she would cry out of pain.

He frowned and looked at his legs in regret. Sharon followed his point of view and instantly guessed what he’s thinking. She smiled knowing no matter what she says or do, he can’t do anything.

He glared at her and answered,“ Watch what you say fatty. You should check your weight and go on diet before insulting someone else.”

Sharon gasped and puffed up her cheeks angrily. What a rude man? He dares to call her fatty. She already knows how chubby she is so he doesn’t have to rub it in her face.

“ Being angry doesn’t suit you. You look like a swollen puffed bun right now,” he said repeating what she had told him earlier.

Sharon gasped dramatically and pointed her finger at him,“ You rude… Cocky…” She couldn’t complete her statement cause the door suddenly opened and two hefty looking bodyguards helped Jasper into his wheelchair.

Sharon followed not waiting or expecting anyone to invite her out. As they slowly walked towards the house, Sharon glanced at Jasper.

He looks so powerful sitting in the wheelchair. The cold expression on his face and his heavenly beauty makes him look just like a powerful sleeping lion. Just that in his case, he is sitting not sleeping.

“ Babe!! I think the door is jammed. I can’t open it,” Sheila said as she tried opening the room door. She has dressed up already and is ready to go but she can’t open the door.

Aiden walked out of the bathroom only in a towel and walked to the door. Sheila stared at him seductively and suddenly felt so wet looking at how yummy he looks.

Aiden looked at her and noticed the look on her face. He chuckled and said,“ Babe don’t give me that look. Unless you don’t wanna leave this room today.”

Sheila pouted and replied,“ It’s not my fault that you look so delicious. I wanna eat you.” She whispered huskily when saying the last one. Aiden smiled and planted a quick kiss on her lips.

Then he tried opening the door. After few trials he turned to her and said,“ I think it’s locked. It has never jammed before.” Sheila frowned confused and suddenly thought of something.

“ I swear I’m gonna kill that bitch when next I see her. She must have locked us in,” Sheila said angrily.

“ Don’t worry. I’ll just call someone to come fix it,” Aiden said and went to pick his phone. He tried calling and suddenly realized that it’s dead.

“Oh shit! My phone is dead. Babe can I have yours?,” he asked and Sheila gave him her phone. He checked it and shouted,“ No signal. Why is there suddenly no f**king signal!”

Now Sheila starts to panic a little thinking of the fact that they may suffocate in the room.
