“Jasmine, you are in trouble. He came here earlier and he was damn furious, he added that he was going to fire you!” Amira uttered gently and with pity.The words Jasmine heard made her heart beat super fast in her chest. “He is going to fire me?” Jasmine was terrified. Without saying anything more, she walked into Donovan’s office. Opening the door, she met him working on his laptop. Jasmine got in and walked into his presence. “Sir....” However, before she finished, he cut her off. “Why are you late, Jasmine?” He kept his head stuck to his laptop and then suddenly, he said his head, “No, you're not even late, you're absent today. Look at the time, it's noon and you are supposed to resume as early as 6 am because I resume at 5 am!” He uttered, his voice sounding like he was angry. However, deep down, he was glad that she resumed work. He thought she would never come again because of his behavior toward her the other day. “Uhm, I'm sorry, sir. I know I did wrong and it was all m
Jasmine wondered which woman he was talking about. Does Donovan have a woman? Her heart tugged at the thought. What was his mother talking about? She asked herself knowing damn well Donovan wouldn't tell her and she couldn't ask. Jasmine dug her eyes into him, waiting for him to tell her what his mother had discussed with him. It wasn't like he owed her an explanation, she just wanted it. However, Donovan said nothing to her. A nurse came in and gave Jasmine the food and fruit. After Jasmine finished it, she was taken into the room for the procedure. Meanwhile, Donovan waited for her all through the process. Two hours later, Jasmine walked out of the room. She was shocked to see Donovan sitting right outside the room, she thought he would have left especially because he had some deadline work to meet up with. “You are still here?” She asked looking at him with one of her palm over her forehead. “Why? You want me gone?” He raised his brows and placed his hands in his pocket. One
Thirty minutes later, Donovan got home. Entering the living room, there was someone there. Someone he knew so well. “What do you want?” He asked coldly without looking at her. “Do you realize I birthed you?” Mrs Keid uttered dropping the glass of champagne she had been drinking. Donovan didn't answer her, he dropped his key on the tv stand before going to his bar. Although annoyed that his mother was around, he would still like to know why she had come. “What do you want, Mrs Keid?” Donovan poured himself some alcohol. “Well, you didn't give me a response over the phone about the trip?” She stood and walked closer to him while he thought about what she had told him. “I don't like your idea, I'm not going over there. You know Mr sultan, he's crazily religious and all that.” Donovan gulped all the drink at once and it burnt his throat. “And he is crazily rich, this man is willing to award us a three billion naira contract. A contract that's meant to be shared between fifteen peop
That was the last straw, Jasmine couldn't take it anymore, she was done. From where she stood, she jumped on Maria and yanked her hair which made Maria scream while dancing about from the pain. “Bitch, get off me!” She screamed in pain. Jasmine was stronger. However, Mrs. Kelly, the landlady was around the block. She heard Jasmine’s and Maria’s voice but thought it was nothing and they could settle it until she heard them fighting. Mrs. Kelly rushed into their room only to find the duo dragging each other’s hair in the living room. “You two should leave each other this instant!” She yelled from the doorpost. Almost immediately, Jasmine let go of Maria’s hair and turned to Mrs. Kelly. Both Maria and Jasmine respect Mrs. Kelly very much because she was like a mother to them both. “I trusted you two the most in this house, how can you attack each other like that?” Mrs Kelly walked closer to them, her facial expression was that of dismay. “She started it!” Maria was quick to point
“Anything? Anything like what?” Donovan asked back, looking into her eyes. Her eyes suddenly got interesting to Donovan, they were gleaming and beautiful. She had brown gorgeous eyes, he thought, staring intently into them like he wanted to read her mind. Donovan stretched his hand like he was going to touch her face and Jasmine expected it. Her eyes went shut, just to feel the warmth of his hands on her face but it never came. She opened her eyes and saw Donovan looking straight like he hadn't just teased her. She hated it. “Your seat belt,” he told her and she huffed before clasping it. The ride was silent, neither of them saying a word to the other. Both are conflicted by their thoughts; they were both feeling the opposite of what they are supposed to feel. Jasmine knew she wasn't supposed to wish for his touch, anticipate his touch and wish he would kiss her. She was supposed to do the opposite, seduce him and make him feel again but it seemed as if he was the one doing the w
Donovan smiled. “Of course, typical Mr. Sultan.” “Fiancee?” Jasmine looked at Donovan. *“Shall we go, sir?” The man asked and Donovan nodded. “Let’s go.” He held her hand and they both followed through the escalator to the room. Jasmine was surprised when the escalator stopped in the suit. Aside from that, the suit was large like a home. There were extended rooms after the living room, and the living room had a kitchen. It was a typical home for couples. “I will leave now.” The man turned around and left. “Wow, it's so big.” Jasmine looked around, walking about with an amused face. Donovan watched as she walked about, checking the room. He wasn't amused by the room but he was amused by her. The smile on her face and the way she walked around excitedly all contributed to his rare amusement. Donovan Rolland never gets amused, he wasn't surprised by anything as he had seen many beautiful things - if not all. He followed her to the bedroom which was the only bedroom in the suite
“I want to kiss you.” It wasn't a question neither was he asking for permission but he was informing her of what his heart wanted. His hands moved from her jaw downward and she breathed out before sucking in her breath and stiffening against his touch, with her eyes gently closing. She had wanted it for a very long time therefore it was hard to resist. She didn't want to push him away as much as her mind was telling her to. She wanted him so much, as an ant would want honey. She craved for him, craved his touch. Again, she sucked in her breath when he pressed his hand on both sides of her waist. Donovan moved one hand back to her jaw and moved her face to look up at him as he tilted his head lower to meet her face. Her eyes, her breath, her reaction; everything was driving him crazy slowly that he wanted to rip her clothes off her. He wanted her, she might not know that but he wanted her badly as much as she wanted him. Then, he gently used his thumb to brush her cheeks, delaying

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
