Jasmine got dressed and went back to work excitedly. She had already forgotten all that Mrs. Keid did to her the other night, how much it hurt her. Her mind had been all over the place since her meeting with Donovan at the hospital. Getting to the office, she went to Donovan’s office and she looked around with excitement. She wanted to know what he would say to her badly. If she had the powers of a witch, she would hasten the time and make it night already. Since her mother got into a coma, her birthdays have been nothing to be excited about. Although her friends from the club try to make it durable, it didn't stop the reminder that she was getting older without her mother by her side. However, today, Donovan gave her hope. The thought of being with him made excitement spiral through her entire body. A great rush of Adrenaline streamed around her bloodstream, creating hormones that she never knew she had. However, there was a negative part of her that thinks the opposite of all
Donovan prepared some food for her, her favorite delicacies. After hours of cooking, the food was finally ready, and Jasmine was served. “You are one lucky woman for me, Donovan Rolland to cook and serve you. What is better than this?” He asked with a proud smirk on his face that made Jasmine chuckle. “I agree.” “Good. Very good!” Donovan sat before her. He wore casual wear, a dark blue top, and black jeans. He looked a little different considering that he was always in suits. Jasmine was happy that he dressed casually because of her. He changed something about himself because of her. “Ogling baby girl? I know I look good but I can't satisfy your evil thoughts right now.” He remarked, helping her with her plate. “I am not ogling!” She chuckled. “You dressed causally, I haven't really seen you dress like that.” She added. “Obviously, I can't cook in a suit. Don't flatter yourself.” He rolled his eyes, slicing his steaks into proportion. Jasmine smiled, watching him cut through
Jasmine watched him frantically ran his hands in his hair, and still went through his phone. For the first time, she saw sweat form on Donovan’s forehead. Then his phone started to ring hysterically, calls kept stopping another call from getting through. Donovan was frustrated by each call, it was making his temper shift out of control. Again, he ran his hand through his hair to keep calm. His mother's call went through again and he mistakenly swiped to accept instead of rejecting. Her voice sounded again on the other end. “I told you that girl was no good to us. Now, look at what is happening to our stock market because of her. The press is out, investors are calling me and some are planning to withdraw from us. Mr. Sultan is mad and he is planning to stop the project as well. By the end of the day, if you don't sort this out, your name will be nowhere to be found. All of your hard work... Our hard work will be for nothing. You are back to that fat, nerdy, and bullied Donovan. You
Andre picked Jasmine up, all the time with him she asked about Donovan. Andre couldn't bring himself to tell her that all of her photos had been leaked and Donovan was going to deny her on national tv. He knew about the love between the duo, and he enjoyed that she was making his best friend happy. “Where is he?” Jasmine asked again. “He is fine. Can you stop asking questions about my best friend? It's creepy, I might start to think you're in love with him.” Andre glanced at her and back at the road. Jasmine said nothing, she looked out the window thinking about all that had happened. Donovan had never reacted that way to her, whatever he saw on his phone must have terrified him. After some minutes, Jasmine noticed they were passing the wrong route so she looked at Andre.“Where are we going?” She asked. “My house. Don't be frightened, I'm only interested in blondes.” Andre smirked, driving ahead. Jasmine sat up, looking at him. “Take me to Donovan’s home.” She raised her brows
It suddenly felt like Jasmine's brain couldn't process simple words again. She looked at Donovan again, her eyes saying the words that she couldn't bring her mouth to communicate. And her heart, throbbed swiftly in her chest that it felt like it was gonna blow off at some point. “Donovan?” She took on step forward and he raised one finger which stopped her from moving further. No utterance, just one finger and it passed a lot of message to her. In his eyes, there was nothing but darkness and chasm. Every one of the emotions and actions he let outs represented something darker, and he was the opposite version of the Donovan she knew. “Leave Jasmine, you don't want to be carried out of here by the security.” Ariel scowled with an eye roll and then rolled her hands over her chest. Jasmine looked at Donovan again, as if waiting for a confirmation. She wanted to hear him say it with his mouth hence she waited. “You are going to say no words to me, Donovan owns this place and he is m
“Where are you taking me?” Jasmine gently looked at Jason after opening her eyes. Jason looked at her while she sat up, she slept off because of exhaustion from crying. “An hotel, you need to rest.” Jason looked back at the road while she nodded and looked out the window. All she could think about was her mom, she needed to hear the voice of her mom. She felt utterly alone in this world. Aside from Jason, she had no one. Donovan used to be the closest to her, someone she thought was her person. Although it was a stupid thing to do knowing well that the duo were only acting. However, he penetrated her life in a way that she didn't expect and couldn't avoid. Suddenly, he became the man that shattered her heart into a million pieces. “Are you okay?” Asked Jason, sharing his glance with her and the road. “I am.”“With everything going on?” He looked at her with an incredulous expression. He didn't expect her to be okay at all, she should be devastated at this point. He too was shocke
It had been twenty-some years since Antonio’s wife and youngest daughter had gone missing. Every year, he would make his wife and son seat in their living room and say one or more prayers. Daniel was eager to leave especially because of Jasmine, he saw the nude pictures scattered all over the internet. And since then he hadn't been able to take his mind off her. All he could think about was the kind of trouble that she was in and the kind of hurt that she would be going through. The priest in white continued to say prayers and his father, Antonio was deep into them until he realized that he wasn't hearing the voice of his son. Because of this, he glanced at him“Are you okay?” Asked Antonio. His wife who had been silent all these while looked at him with contempt, it wasn't like she loved any of this. “How can he be when he has work to do but he had been forced to seat here and make prayers for people that are most likely to be dead!” She groaned painfully and rolled her eyes. An
Jasmine’s eyes gently flung open, everything around her was blurry except the person standing beside her. She recognized the man as Daniel and just seeing his face in front of her got her extremely mad. “You bastard!” She screamed and slapped his thigh and Daniel yelped. She held his thigh with both her hands and pulled him closer enough for her head to reach him. Without warning she bit him so hard, he screamed. “You attempted to rape me!” She yelled and held his flesh between her teeth again. Daniel cried out again, trying to escape from her but she held him with all of her strength. Just then the door opened and a young man walked in. He swiftly disengaged Jasmine’s hands from the legs she held tightly. When Jasmine looked at the man who had done this, it turned out to be Daniel again. Her eyes widened. How come there are two Daniels?! She widened her eyes. “That’s my dad!” Daniel corrected looking at her. It was then Jasmine looked at the man she had held before, it turned o
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
