“Jasmine, are you okay?” A familiar voice sounded and then Donovan peeped to see who it was. When he saw Daniel walking toward her, he frowned. Why the hell was the bastard here?! He questioned inwardly. Jasmine gently turned and saw Daniel coming toward her. She wiped her eyes and stood. “Did you follow me?” She asked. Daniel gently nodded. “I had to know you're safe after leaving my house. I thought you were sick and came to the hospital hence I followed to fill my curiosity. Is that your mom?” He asked and then looked at her. Jasmine gently nodded, wiping the remainder of the tears on her face. Daniel went next to her mother and then proceeded to ask why she was in a coma. Jasmine answered him. Donovan watched them, and as he did anger grew in them. He got madder by the second, and he fisted the curtain in his hand imagining that he was holding Daniel’s neck. Did she sleep in his house? He asked himself. The thought of that allowed pain to grow in his heart. He wanted to bu
“I am not able to delete the picture and video from the source.” He looked at Donovan who frowned deeply. “I said it!” Donovan hissed. “Mr. Donovan, I am good at my job, don't say otherwise. I cannot delete it from the source because whoever uploaded it bonded it with a code that I can crack but I will need a few hours to do that.” Victor retorted. “Fine. Send your PayPal details. If you don't finish the job, I will find you and ruin your life. Don't think you can run because I paid you before you finished.” Donovan warned before going to pick up his phone. He sent ten thousand dollars to Victor without blinking an eye. The college boy was shocked at the huge amount he was paid. He didn't get the chance to thank Donovan because he left before he received the money. * Daniel’s car stopped in front of Jasmine’s house, and she decided to ask him the question that had been bothering her mind. “Why did you bully Donovan in high school.” She looked at him. Daniel smirked. “He told
“Why are you here?” He asked, his voice as cold as Ice and dark like an abyss. Jasmine's hands gently flinched from his dark tone. Aside from him being the exact opposite of the person she was used to, he was quite intimidating. “Get out!” He added.Jasmine gently raised her head, the sound of his voice shocked her. She didn't believe Donovan could ever say a word like that to her. With shaky hands, she packed the files in front of her together and then picked up her bag. Donovan's eyes widened, he didn't expect her to want to leave just like that. He thought that she would say something, apologize, or use working hard as leverage but she did nothing. At that same time, Ariel walked in. “Leave her, Donovan. We need her here, you need your secretary.” Ariel stood beside Donovan and gently rubbed his arm. “Please, for my sake.” Ariel smiled sheepishly. “You can stay,” he uttered quickly. Although he hated that it looked as though Ariel was the one that begged him to make her stay.
“Okay.” Jasmine’s heart thumped in her chest once she sent the response. She knew what he was going to talk about and it scared her. After putting on a hoodie and short jeans, she picked up her keys and headed to the address that he sent to her. When she got to the restaurant, Oscar waved his hands to her so she knew where he was. “How are you?” He asked while waving at the waiter to come over. “What do you care for?” He asked again. “Juice is okay.” The waiter came and took her order before going to get them. Oscar was silent, he only looked at her. And Jasmine trailed her fingers on the table, she had a feeling of what he was going to say. “Claire misses you, she wonders when you're going to visit again,” he emitted. Jasmine looked at him and then nodded. “What happened?” Oscar implored. Jasmine said nothing. “You have to answer me, you know that?” He asked. Jasmine sighed. “I don't know what you're talking about.” “The videos and pictures circulating the internet. Clai
“Donovan wants you gone! I told you I could get you fired but you didn't believe me. Well, you are fired!” She added. “Now you've added messenger to your resume? You didn't employ me here, you cannot tell me whether I am fired or not.” Jasmine rolled her eyes and walked past her. She wanted Donovan to tell it to her face. A part of her was scared of that phrase but she also knew that he needed her except he wants his clueless fiancee to do them. When she got to her department, she dropped her bag and then plugged in her laptop. She glanced at Donovan in his office, he was busy working. Without wasting any more time, she continued her work as well. The next second, the intercom rang, it was from Donovan. Jasmine went to his office and stopped before him. “My coffee?” He implored without looking at her. “Ariel should be doing that, not me,” she answered. “Ariel doesn't have any Buiness in my office except attending to clients that are supposed to see me personally. You are in cha
“Are you home, Jessica?” He asked. “Yes, why?” “I am coming. I need to speak to you.” He slurred. “Are you drunk?” She noticed his voice was slow. Donovan didn't answer her, he ended the call and then picked up his keys before going out of the house. Within an hour, he was at Jessica’s home. Her home was quite large because her husband was a rich contractor as well. However, Donovan hated to be in her home because he and her husband didn't get along. The man did not like Donovan because they had once been rivals for a business in which Donovan won without lifting a finger. “Is he home?” Donovan asked as soon as he walked through her living room. “Miami. I don't when you two would stop being at each other’s throat.” Jessica rolled her eyes and walked to the kitchen. The duo would never bring harm to one another but it had always been a sore to the eyes when the duo puffed and huffed at each other. “You are drunk.” She stated, brewing the coffee for him. Donovan found his way to
At the same time, Donovan flung his eyes open. The first person he saw was Jasmine. “What the hell are you doing here?!” He growled. And then Jasmine heard her subconscious slap her with mockery and some stinging words;“I told you to run.”Donovan turned his eyes to the twins who were now frightened, they looked like they had seen a ghost from a horror movie. They did not expect Donovan to catch them as he was supposedly drunk. “What the hell are you two doing on my face?” He glared at them and then walked to the mirror by the wall side. His eyes widened in horror when he saw what was drawn on his face. Then he snapped his head back to Peter and Paul. The duo trembled when his eyes landed on them, the aura that came with his darkened eyes was enough to make them pee on their boxers. Peter raised his hands and pointed them to Paul who did the same. Donovan stare got intense instead. “I am going to give you five seconds to run.” He didn't finish his words before the both of them
Before he finished, he heard her step into the office and then her phone dropped when she saw Jasmine working. “Why the hell is she here?!” Her voice echoed through the entire building, slapping through the walls like rumpled thunder.Jasmine stood very quickly with a flinch, she did not expect Mrs Keid to walk in so suddenly. Donovan walked out at the same time Mrs. Keid was walking closer to Jasmine. And Jasmine looked at the older woman with her heart in her throat. “Why are you here, you prostitute!” Mrs. Keid half yelled, her breath coming out of her like a bulldog. Jasmine's eyes started to build with tears, and she found it hard to swallow the whimper that was going to leave her mouth. At the same time, Donovan walked closer. “Mom,” he called.Jasmine blinked to stop her tears from coming out of her eyes and then she avoided looking into Donovan’s eyes. She didn't want to show her weakness in front of him or his mother. It would show that they won. Yet, Jasmine knew they wo
Jasmine got back to America, she went to Antonio’s home first. She met him working in his office. The duo had bonded over the year, he came to Finland every month and they hung out. He found out everything about her and showed her all the love she missed all these years, it was never enough anyways. He wrapped his hands around Jasmine and she did the same. Antonio left Cecilia but the duo see each other sometimes. He always loved Camille and that would never change. It was the same love that he was showing to Jasmine. Daniel and Victoria finally bought a house so they moved away. “You know you could remarry if you want, Dad?” Jasmine asked. “And put you where?” Antonio teased. “I am serious.” Jasmine looked at him seriously. The man shook his head. “I am too old for that.” He looked away. They talked for the rest of the day before Jasmine finally left. Victoria’s wedding was the next week, she wants everyone to be there. She even forced Jessica who just put to bed to sketch h
ONE YEAR LATER;“Fuck, Donovan, fuck!” Jasmine groaned as he wrapped his tongue around her clitoris, sliding it up and down. She squirmed as she reached her climax, her toes curled behind his back. “Damn it!” She used her hand to cover her mouth to prevent her from shouting too much. They were not in the house, in fact, they were at the...Finally, Jasmine reached her climax. And then Donovan licked her dry. “Hmm, you taste so good.” With this, he brought his face to her mouth and kissed her so that she can taste herself in his mouth. “We are at the kid's store, can you stop teasing me? We have to get Jessica's baby things fast. Our flight is tomorrow.” She stood and then wore her clothes well. They had gotten a private changing room and Donovan bought the entire place out so that he can have satisfy Jasmine. They went back to picking things for Jessica. She had just given birth to her third child which was a girl. Donovan was picking something for the twins so he was at the boy
Jasmine was surprised to see Daniel’s father come from her mother’s grave. Tears were in his eyes and she wondered why he was crying. “Why are you here?” He asked, wiping his eyes. He just couldn't help it. “I came because that is my mother’s grave, I came to..”“Your mother is Camille?” He asked and she nodded. Antonio was shocked, he thought that she was dead. That man had said she was dead. “What about your father?” He asked. “I didn't grow up with a dad, mom never talked about him.”She explained. Antonio did not say anything again, he did not want to scare her with his realization. He needed to find that man first and then do a DNA test to confirm his theory. Jasmine spoke to her mom. She shed a lot of tears and truly, she felt better after doing this thing. Antonio took her back home and he hugged her before he left. He couldn't help it, Jasmine might truly be his daughter and this made him happy, it made him feel alive again. However, when he got home, he met something els
The rest of the day went out very quickly, Victoria and Jasmine went back to the mansion. The fashion designer came over as soon as possible because Mrs. Keid wanted the wedding to happen as soon as possible. She wanted the wedding to also be better than the first one therefore she was taking over the entire thing. Mrs Keid had the money and she was ready to spend it. “Can you stop working for a second?” Victoria asked, rolling her eyes. Jasmine shook her head. “I can't stop working, I need to finish this work before the deadline. You might have not noticed the fallout of our wedding took a large toll on us and we both abandoned work.” Victoria shook her head. Jasmine and Donovan were alike, she wondered what their children would be like. She slapped her forehead. The designer did all the measurements, she was going to get everything ready for the wedding dress to be glamorous. It was going to be the best wedding in town. By the time Donovan returned, Jasmine had fallen on the c
The next day, Donovan woke up. He saw Jasmine by his side and this shocked him and then made him smile. He did not believe that by opening his eyes, he would see her beside him. “Jasmine?” He called.She was working on her laptop. She turned to him with a frown on her face. “How dare you bring yourself to the hospital? There is so much work to be done yet you landed yourself in the hospital, why?” She slammed the file on her hand on his body and he groaned painfully. “I am sick, yet you are hitting me!” He rolled his eyes at her and rubbed the place she had hit him. Jasmine raised her eyes and then rolled her eyes afterward. “Take this, continue to work. I don't care if you are sick!” He groaned as she dumped the laptop on his lap. “Are you kidding?” He sat up very quickly. “Do I look like I am kidding? You are supposed to continue to work!” She slammed her hand on his lap and then walked away. Donovan chuckled.He was suddenly feeling better. He smiled genuinely this time. He
Jasmine groaned as his burly hand hurt her. She wondered why he was holding her that way and when she looked around the gym, there was no one there aside from the both of them. It was a private gym, and not many people are allowed to pay for it. “Let me go!” She uttered through gritted teeth. The man before her widened his eyes when he saw that he was hurting her. He only held her to prevent her from hitting the weight before her. Jasmine was so eager to get away from him, she did not know that there was a weight right in front of her. “I am so sorry!” He pleaded and then removed the weight from the side of her leg. Jasmine rolled her eyes and then walked away. She did not want to have a conversation with anyone or become friends with strangers. Getting back in her room, she went to relax in the bathtub. Jessica’s words were biting at her, and she also missed Donovan. She loved him very much, she cannot bring herself to leave him. At the same time, he had hurt her. After thirty m
Maria got the apartment, the one she used to stay in with Jasmine. The house was empty. Donovan paid another year becausese of Jasmine only for her to stay in his home. The house was a waste of money. Maria went to take a seat on the cream-coloured couch and then her head fell back on the headboard. She missed Andre like crazy. She did not know how attached she had become to him until he left her. Naomi just had to ruin everything and he wouldn't have met her if it wasn't for her stupid fight with her stupid boyfriend. The man sent her out of their shared apartment so she took advantage of the situation. Wait boyfriend? Maria sat up with her eyes widened. ‘Of course, she had a stupid fight with her boyfriend. If I can track him down, maybe he’d be able to shed more light on the situation.” Maria smiled. Then she picked up her phone from her bag and checked all the messages she sent to Andre. He replied to none of it and returned none of her calls.“He is really mad at me.” She sigh
When Naomi entered through the front door, Jessica was shocked to see two men behind her. One was dressed in a black suit and he looked smaller than the other one dressed in a black shirt and jeans. He was burly, almost like a bodyguard. Perhaps he was a bodyguard. Donovan walked back to the living room and then he caught sight of Naomi and the burly man behind her. He scoffed incredulously. “You brought a bodyguard, why?” He asked. The man looked like one, especially with his black goggles. Naomi rolled her eyes proudly. “The last time I came here, you talked to me like nothing. I have heard of you Donovan, you have no respect for anyone, I don't want you harassing me.” She rolled her eyes and walked toward Jessica. Donovan looked at her as though she had grown two heads, he scoffed again. If it weren't for Jessica, he would have sent her away. The ordinary sight of her got him irritated. Her words disgusted him, he could almost vomit. Keeping his thoughts to himself, he went t
After sitting in the bathtub for hours and drinking a whole bottle of champagne, she walked out of the bathroom butt-naked. When she got to the room, she saw her phone vibrating on the bed. She checked the caller's identity and saw Victoria’s name written boldly on the screen. Jasmine picked up the call. “The nerve. You actually picked up the phone after stealing it from me. Do you know the owner of the phone? You should be ashamed of yourself!” Victoria yelled on the other end. Jasmine chuckled. “You think someone stole my phone?” She asked, sitting on the bed. “Jasmine?” Victoria widened her eyes. “Yes?” “Wait, how did you get the phone? Did you come to my house to take it?” Victoria bombarded her with questions. Jasmine laughed and then shook her head. “Daniel brought it to me, don't get mad. He just wants me to speak to you guys.” Jasmine explained.“That bastard! He knew how bad I felt when you went missing. Why couldn't he tell me?! Jasmine, I hate you too. You left and
