Blackwood's POV.

I glanced at my watch stylishly. I was already late for work, but I didn't have the heart to tell her that. She was warming up to me faster than I ever imagined while my investigations were going underneath.

"It's better to be the ones which lead to probably money or something of the sort. I just do not want transfers in kind." I said playfully. What would have thought that Jasmine would want me to touch her and sometimes initiate it? It was still almost like a movie to me because it was hard for me to comprehend.

"You look distracted." She noticed even though I pretended not to be she could see right through my lies. "Is everything okay? You can talk to me." She said with concern etched on her face.

What? I didn't want the vibe to be lost.

I grabbed her hands and drew her closer to me. She couldn't almost resist my kisses, and I smiled when I leaned downwards, but she shook her head. A smart woman who knew her weaknesses.

    Jasmine's POVNo one was here to help me get rid of the anger that was flowing through my veins. I didn't want to become a boss who was snapping at her workers for no reason. Yet these people decided to show me one of the reasons why my decisions were not going to work. What would it cost them to send me the adequate information needed for the meeting so that I didn't look incompetent? What would have been my lot if Mr Blackwood had not helped me cross-check some of the files and presentations?I glanced at the two men in front of me whose heads were bowed. "An apology is not going to suffice for this colossal mistake. You knew what you were doing so please do not bring that crap of being a victim here. If you didn't want me to be stressed out, why then didn't you just tell me in the first place? Inform me about what was going on and we wouldn't have any problems. How hard can that be? Except for the fact that you have probably been looking for a way of doing some stuff that I do not

    Jasmine's POV. Seeing my father's lifeless body on the stretcher made my heart quake. This wasn't what I was expecting at all. Regret filled my heart as I began to imagine everything that would have happened if I had just picked up the phone and called him earlier. "He was brought in a few minutes ago, but someone identified him and said you were his daughter. That was why we called. It was his Cook who brought him here." The doctor said but the words flew over My Head. I had failed him. I saw the way his neck was bent and had a deeper nudge that it wasn't just falling from the bathroom. Someone had tried to kill him. "Get me his phone. That's the only thing I want." I declared and they looked at me like I was crazy. Mr Blackwood was at my side in an instant which I appreciated. "What are you doing Jasmine? Your father is dead and you are asking for his phone?" He whispered. "Tell the Cook to come out here and bring out my father's phone," I demanded from the Doctor who was also

    Blackwood's POV. Roman was one of the best CIA agents I had ever met in my entire life; therefore, I trusted him to do a perfect job and not be biased regardless of any amount I was going to pay him. He didn't care for the money. He hailed from a wealthy home. Thus, he often said that this was his way of paying back the community, which I agree with. "Roman... I want you to take up a case. My wife thinks it's a murder, which I also believe because her father was trying to call he,r, but it wasn't going through. We suspect his wife. Can you help out with this?" I inquired from him and saw him chuckling as I kept on asking. "This is very great to hear. Does she have concrete evidence against the suspects? It's been a long time since I have taken up any challenging case. Do you want your name to be involved in this, or do you want to remain anonymous?" He asked me, which was a valid question because, most times, I didn't want to be involved in anything regarding a case.A lot of peop

    Jasmine's POV. I was shocked by the altercation between both of them. Jake was even more shocked than I was and that made me laugh. He had offended his father for him to burst out like that. Mr Blackwood was the calmest person I had ever met in my entire life. If I do say so myself, and for him to act this way, then it is hard to be something serious. "What did you do, Jake?" I demanded from him when he refused to leave. Jake was out of his wits. "You poisoned my father against me. Now you try to act like you love me? How would you even claim to love me yet jump into my father's hands immediately after he proposed to you? Make it make sense! I should have listened when everyone told me you were a bad idea! Why the hell did I not see this part of you and decide to shackle myself to you and now see what I get? My father, who has never raised his voice at me telling me to leave his house? A house that he built with my mother. That's where you plan on inheriting?" Jake yelled.I refuse

    Jasmine's POV I held a breath the moment I was called into the doctor's office. Although I had already given myself a little pep talk not to be overwhelmed when I was finally called in, it wasn't still easy for me. Mr blackwood gripped my hand as a form of reassurance, and I nodded, appreciating this act of kindness more than any other thing he could give me. There was no way I would talk about this incident without remembering him. He had been so attentive and I made a mental note to take him out one of these days. "Whatever the results are, we would not panic." He told me and I nodded. There was no way I was going to panic over something I had already made peace with. I only needed the culprits to be convicted. That was the only thing that would make me happy that things were finally falling into place. The doctor looked up and I saw him signal to Mr blackwood beside me. "It's good to see you again." He began. I nodded, yet didn't feel receptive to his greetings. I was in has

    Jasmine's POV."Can you imagine the nerve of the doctor trying to sway us like we do not know how this works? Some of these people do not even think we are worth the energy. Can you imagine what he was saying?" I asked him immediately after we exited his office. He had to return to the people he had collected money from and tell them that I saw through his shenanigans and wasn't going to buy it. He could lie to other people and get away with it but he was not going to do the same with me and the free. He would have to report his results and I might also have to confirm from another place. "Sometimes we just have to let things go, pretend like we do not know, and see what happens afterward. I will contact a lawyer and facilitate the case. According to the information reaching me, your stepmom has not yet shown up at the hospital. I think that is enough ground to prosecute but we will not go like blind people. We need concrete evidence against them so that they don't prove stubborn."

    Jasmine's POV. Even the blind could tell that this was nothing but a lie, but I didn't want to talk about it. I was also careful with my words, but I didn't manage to land myself in trouble that I wouldn't be able to explain. If she said it was because she was looking for a way for my father's health, then I just needed to act like I believed which we both knew was a huge lie. I wasn't going to allow anyone to get to me when I could just stay away and pretend like I never heard from her.Mr Blackwood glanced in my direction to be sure that I wasn't going to go off. I smiled at him instead. These people were going to pay heavily for trying me. They wanted it to look like I was the problematic person when, in fact, they refused to do the right thing. It wasn't every time that one would engage such people. "My bad. I didn't know that you were so invested in my father's business; trust me, I would not have spoken to you in that manner." I pretended. My stepmother knew that I was only

The earlier he understands this the better for him." Mr Blackwood fired at the person on the other end of the phone. I was interested in knowing what was going on again. Was Jake still planning his shenanigans? I thought he had stopped all of this nonsense. Why, then, was he still making everyone edgy?""Is everything okay?" Mr. Blackwood looked up like he just remembered I was present. "Seriously, can you be on your own for a while, while I take care of something? I need to teach that bastard a lesson that he would never forget things his entire life. I do not want to stress you because I understand what is going on. I will drive you home if you want then go to the meeting." He explained yet I still didn't understand where he was coming from. I needed him to tell me more about Jake. "I'm coming with you

    Jasmine's POV.Life had been good, especially after my step-sister, who had gone to change her face through plastic surgery and pretended to be another person so that she could just get closer to Mr blackwood and get rid of him, was thrown behind bars. Cross and Donovan, who were also working together, had infinite jail sentences. My stepmom was also caught while she was trying to cross the country and flung behind bars too. It made me happy that everything was finally falling into place. I wouldn't have been able to achieve all of this if Mr blackwood and I hadn't devised a means of catching this person in their traps. He walked in with my son on his shoulders. "You must be so happy to see your mother." He said and my son mewled despite not understanding a word his father said. "Hey baby, what are you doing up here alone? Your baby has pooped."I raised a brow, "so he is suddenly my baby and not yours?" I inquired, waiting for his response so that I knew how to answer him appropr

    Jasmine's POV. "Exactly what you predicted is already coming to pass." Mr blackwood spoke into my ear causing me to be startled. Wasn't expecting him to show up anytime soon. "What is that?" I inquired from him after he kissed me. "How was work today?"He grinned like a Cheshire cat. "What?" I inquired again when he kept on grinning. "You are amazing. How would I have coped without you in my life?" He said sweetly. Now, whenever he started to praise me, I knew that there was a caveat attached. "Are you serious?" "Of course I am. You are the best thing that has happened to me in a long while. I don't think anyone has come close though." He replied and I smiled at him softly. He had a mission and I also wanted to find out. "I'm happy to announce to you that our suspicions were right." He said and I smiled at him. "I know what you are about to ask. You are about to ask what we are waiting for." "That's right! I thought we were supposed to prosecute immediately if we had substanti

    Jasmine's POV. "We should go over to that aisle." Mr blackwood suggested which I decided to take. The usual brand of chocolate I loved to eat wasn't here. I didn't want to start searching for it in various stores. "Jasmine? Is that you, Jasmine?" A voice called and I turned. Squinting to see the face of the person who called my name. I recognized Cross. "Cross?" I asked the first time and he smiled. I could never forget that smile. "In flesh and blood." He said while stretching his arm and turning 360. "I thought you would never remember my face again. It's been what? Almost a decade. Wow, you look so beautiful. I can't almost imagine that you are standing before me. It's not supposed to be a bad thing but you understand what I mean. I am very... I guess what I'm saying is that you are beautiful. It's nice to run into you after a long while too." He said with a polite smile.I glanced at his ears. They were always long; I guess some things never changed, no matter if we filled th

    Jasmine POV. Three months later, "Will you be done anytime soon I need to get out of this house before it's too late," I called from the doorway when Mr Blackwood was still washing up. He woke up late today. I had a meeting with GText Holdings and I needed to honor that invitation. I had chased this deal for a long time now, allowing it to slip off my fingers due to carelessness was the last thing I wanted in my life."You can go ahead I might not be joining you in the car today. I also want to speak to a few investors who have signified interests. When we are done we can converge at the store later today.” He also called from inside the bathroom. With everything that was being done, I was no longer feeling like something was missing. I knew that whatever I was looking for Mr blackwood was going to provide. It didn't necessarily mean money because both of us were well off. My heart kept flickering to Gwen and my stepmom. It seemed like they disappeared from the face of the Earth

    Jasmine's POV. "With all the pieces of evidence before me, this is my judgment..." The judge said, and I held my breath. This was coming to be the determining factor of whether or not my father was going to get Justice. "I would have to permit Mrs Bailey on the grounds of bail. Although the evidence points to her as having some grudges against her husband, we cannot just convict somebody simply because of what another said." He replied, making me angry. There was no way he had not been bribed because the way he was something the case. "if you are not satisfied with my judgment you can seek redress." He said while looking directly into my eyes. I was going to seek one, "you permit a murderer to walk about simply because you have been paid?" I confronted him. He wasn't also above the law, so whenever things were not going the way they should, I had every right to confront him about it. "Do not think that I don't see everything that is going on here. You are only trying to wave atte

    Jasmine's POV. Two weeks later, We were before the judge in the city Court and everyone kept on looking from her to me. "We begin this trial between Miss Jasmine and Miss Bailey because she, Miss Jasmine, feels that her stepmother might have a hand in her father's death." The court clerk said. I waited patiently for my turn. They all knew that I wasn't hasty when it came to situations like this as long as I knew what I was doing. My legal representative, barrister Lawson, stood beside me with a smile on his face, and that fueled my confidence in this case. "Barrister Lawson will be representing Miss Jasmine, while Barrister Damien will be representing Mrs. Bailey." The court clerk announced again. I wasn't worried about their announcements because I knew what I wanted to achieve. They could deceive everyone but not me. As long as I got my answers right, they would regret ever crossing me in their entire lives. That was exactly how I was going to play this game. "Do you swear th

    Jasmine's POV. Drum rolls, now this was getting pretty interesting. "This is the joke of the century." Jake took the words out of my mouth but I knew that there was every tendency for this information to be true. Mr Blackwood stood with his hands akimbo, brooking no arguments. He wasn't going to repeat himself. "Exactly what you heard me say. I have tolerated your excesses and that's one of the reasons you have refused to learn your lessons. You would keep on going back and forth simply because you cannot take a rejection. Nothing is going to make me take you back into my company. I will send for DNA testing, and we will confirm the paternity if that's what you want." He said. Whoa, this was greater than I could ever imagine. Who would have thought that there was something fishy in this house and even Jake never knew this? Jake laughed warily. "you must be kidding. How can you tell me after all these years that you are not my father? Is this a way of you getting out of your respo
