Donovan frowned. They used his house for a stupid proposal that he didn't even know anything about. Live cameras? That is your plan Mrs Keid? She knew her son so well. Donovan cannot risk the image of the company for a girl. A stripper girl at that. Donovan marched into the front of the house, he looked over at the flower pot, a small box was sitting on it as his mother had said. With folded fists, he sighed to calm himself before he carried the box. Once he opened the door, the camera beeped signaling that it was turned on. The space before the living room was used for the surprise. There were red and white balloons everywhere, and then petals that were arranged in a “Will you marry me” message. Before the entire package, Ariel was there acting all surprised. Donovan chuckled, he looked at the camera with a frown and then threw the small ring box to the face. The camera fell and broke against the floor. Ariel was shocked, she turned to him surprised. Mrs Keid and her assistan
When Jasmine got to her living room, she saw Mrs. Keid looking around her room like there was dirt everywhere. Although Jasmine had not cleaned her room for two days, the house was still clean. Mrs. Keid had a disgusted and proud look on her face. “Mrs. Keid?” She called, surprised. Mrs keid gently turned her head to her, disdain smeared her face. “This is where you stay?” She asked, her voice curling her lips. Jasmine nodded her head and walked closer. She noticed that Donovan’s proud behavior was taken from his mother. The first time Donovan came to her house, he had the same kind of expression. “Yes, I stay here,” Jasmine answered with a smile.Mrs. Keid looked at her. “And you are happy staying here? Well, I am bringing to you an offer that will change your life forever. Perhaps you can buy a better house than this..” She looked around with disgust. Jasmine said nothing but smiled. “Donovan doesn't want to come out of his room, and I need him to come and clear up the mess
The next day, Donovan dressed in a suit. He had the whole of yesterday to sit with Brian and revise the script. Every single second, he thought of Jasmine alone. He asked Brian where his mother had taken her because he didn't trust her for one second. Brian assured him that she was fine and Mrs. Keid wouldn't do anything to ruin the entire plan. “Get her to her house safely or I am not leaving here,” he told his mother over the phone. “Why do you not trust me, son?” Her voice sounded on the other end. “After you blackmailed me?” He chuckled with an eye roll. After he was done dressing up, he walked out with Brian and they both entered the car. “So you are going to tell them you were drunk from...” “Can you shut up? I read the fucking script but you won't stop barking in my ears!” He snapped, having enough of him. He looked out the window, thoughts spiraling in his mind. Doing this means he was going to lose Jasmine all over again and this time forever. With a sigh, he buried his
“I knew it! I knew he was going to ruin our years of hard work.” She slammed her hand against her forehead hard. Mrs. Keid moved to the screen and started to read the comments herself. She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the first and then the second and third. Her lips slightly parted but no words formed in them. “Are these really our comments?” She asked Brian who nodded his head, he was as shocked as she was. “Obviously, Donovan’s name is being mentioned.” She laughed nervously, reading some of the numerous comments. Everyone was in support of what Donovan said and they all started to support Jasmine. 1. Donovan is so right, everyone used to have a past. 2. Jasmine needs a public apology from every one of us. 3. Sometimes we have to do things we hate to survive. I love Jasmine for being such a hard-working and persevering woman. 4. Someone should join Donovan and Jasmine together before we get mad! Comments like that kept dropping. It covered the hate comments too an
After Jasmine was taken by Mrs. Keid's men, they took her to her home which she didn't expect. “Get out and stay in your home.” The burly man had ordered her and she nodded her head with fear. Walking in, she felt their eyes pressed against her back. If stares could peel off one’s skin, Jasmine would have been the first woman without any skin in the world. When she got to the safety of her home, she shut the door and collapsed on the couch. What she did not expect was to hear Ariel’s voice behind her. “What are you doing here?” Jasmine asked, growling and standing up quickly. “Now is not the time to question me.” Ariel moved closer to her and jabbed a syringe in her belly. Jasmine’s eyes got heavy and she collapsed to the floor. The next time she opened her eyes, her entire body was sour and she felt like her body didn't belong to her anymore. Taking in her surrounding, she was that she was in an abandoned large space. The smell of cigarettes was pungent in the air and she could
Daniel picked up his phone and then dialed Freya’s number. He thought that Freya would know where Ariel should be keeping Jasmine. “Where is she?” He asked once she picked up the call. “Where is who?” Freya asked. “You know who I am talking about. I will make things easy on you if you...” “I can never tell anything, Daniel. You think I don't know the way that you have been in and out with Jasmine. You have fallen in love with her, haven't you? Well, we will not be releasing her until Donovan pays the five hundred million dollars!” With this, she ended the call. Frustrated, he slammed his hands against the stirring wheel. Damn it! He bites down on his lower lips, tapping against his lap thinking of what to do next. No idea came to his head, he was worried about what the girls would do to Jasmine. Meanwhile; Donovan called his bank manager, he requested such a huge amount and the bank wondered why he would want such money in cash. They suspected that someone was blackmailing
All night, he paced in his living room trying Ariel’s number over and over again. Praying she’d pick up. His heart was all over the place. Fear plastered all over his face and at some point, he wanted to cry like a baby. He was devastated. Overthinking what Ariel could be doing to Jasmine was the last straw to make a man like Donovan weep. There was no one around. There was no one to tell him how a man should act. There was no one to remind him that he was Donovan Rolland and he needed to be tough and mighty when in reality - There was still a little boy who was bullied and showed the cruel side of life very early. He was reminded that Jasmine was the only light he had in his messed-up life. Perfect yet messed up. “Please help her, please.” He begged and cried all night. He ended up sleeping on the couch, with his shoes and shirt on. The next day, his phone rang, and vibrating by his side on the couch woke him up. With swollen face, he looked at the caller and saw his bank manager
Donovan glared at Daniel as his hand was still on his shoulder and then Daniel removed it immediately. The landlady pushed the duo out and then shut the door behind her. “Don’t let me see you two here again!” She glared at them and then walked away. Donovan walked in front, wanting to get away from Daniel as much as possible. However, Daniel thought the opposite. He wanted the opposite of what Donovan thought. “We should work together to get her back.” Daniel shut his car door and then Donovan glared at him. “That look on your face would solve nothing. We have to work together to get her and after we can go back to scowling at each other.” Daniel looked at him seriously. For a minute, Donovan didn't say a word. He was thinking about what Daniel said. Thinking deeply, he knew that he was slightly right. He needed more hands and brains in the finding of Jasmine. He wasn't one to ask for help therefore he would take an offering hand without hesitation. “Fine, this doesn't make u
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
