Jasmine's POV"That's all for today, thank you all for your hard work," the director called the end of the filming. I and Jacob decided to leave together since we were the last people to do a scene together."Ah, what do you say I take you out on a dinner date?. I want to show my utmost gratitude to you for giving me this opportunity again. Hope you don't mind," I said to him after we were done changing from our filming outfits."Hmm, I would rather eat your homemade if you really want to show your gratitude. I have been craving homemades recently and going back home would be a hassle to me. So would cook for me?," he asked and I laughed knowing how terrible my food could be."Let me warn you, I'm not much of a good cook but if you insist then it's settled. You are highly invited to dinner at my place. My kids would be so excited to see. They might end up looking at you throughout dinner," I told him while he helped me wear my coat. He was so nice to the extent that my heart always fl

Jazz's POVToday's scene was a public shoot, it was to be shot at a particular scenery that was along the bridge and a place that was frequented by people.Jazz was playing her character Hannah and in this scene, she was to confront me for the murder of her dead lover. "I'm not afraid of you, not in the next world to come. You bloody murderer, do you think you can get away with what you have done? For sure the police will get you for what you have committed," she flinched when I stepped close to her as Alison."I said you don't scare me, plus you can't kill in a public area because it will give the police clear evidence to lock you up in jail regardless of the powerful backer you have," Hannah spat out with a tinge of fear in her voice. She was still afraid of me and there were many ways to manipulate her into petrification.I stepped closer to her with a threatening stance that made her shudder in fear. "What do you think you are doing?," he quivered in fear, staggering backwards to

Janet POVI wailed in pain as I iced my cheeks with a bag of ice. The little fight that I had with Jazz had gone online. And people were trashing my name on social media. Ugh!, it would be fun to sue them for the hate comments."Janet, we have an issue," my agent trudged into my free room where I was being tendered to by two nurses because of my injured face."And what is it about?," I asked, feeling less concerned about what she was going to say. She was trembling and uncertain of what to do. However, it was none of my business."It's about the fight, the company has decided that you make a public apology to calm the angry netizens. If you don't this will become more hectic for us to handle. I don't know what will happen if you don't comply. So please follow what they have suggested," she said, getting me angry instantly."Are you of your mind?, what do you think I look like to you?. It seems to me that you don't like your job," I flared up making her and the nurses around me flinch

Janet's POVTwo after I made a public apology on tv, Jazz and I were invited to a reality show for an interview. I was really embarrassed of the outcome that day.Asphalt had completely ignored me and the entertainment company I had signed under threatened to null my contract with them if I didn't set things right. Jazz made a big fool out of me and I had fallen for her spanky tricks. She was going to pay for humiliating love on TV.After my makeup and hair was finished, I was called on stage and handed some paper to answer possible questions that they can answer."Do you want to work with each on further project?," How do you see Jazz as your fellow celebrity?, Was the slap not really intentionally?, what are all this dumb questions?, are you guys trying to put me at my end?," I yelled after reading some of the interview questions."It is what we were asked to do since it is Jazz that is favoring you. Our company contacted her and requested that she help you not to lose any more fan

Jasmine POVIt was another day for the filming shoot and my babies were currently pestering me to let them follow me to the set. The scandal about Janet had died down but that didn't mean I could let my guard down. She hadn't said anything since then which was really unlike her. She already knows that I'm Jasmine so any moment from now, she and my parents will start bothering me."Mommy, are you even listening to us? We want to follow you to your workplace," Emil yelled out, pulling my dress."No, honey you can't follow me to work because it's not safe. I don't want to worry about you guys getting taken away from me. I will let you come with me when I will be less busy on set okay," I told him while putting on my pearl stud earrings.Today, I had decided to dress more feminine and classic. And choosing my outfit, I ended up with Chanel. "Why?, won't you let us follow you mommy?. There is no way anyone can take us away without people noticing. We are charming kids, you can easily cap

Janet POV"Ah, this is the exact relaxation I need from all this work and trouble," I stretched on the balloon water float inside a large pool."So true, I haven't had fun in the past two weeks because of my heavy schedule. And my manager isn't making it any better for me. He is a total asshole but hot too," Sarah said, cooling herself inside the warm pool."You are blessed to have a hot manager. My agent is hell herself, she doesn't consult me before she makes any decisions and she is always fighting with me. Sometimes, I wonder where she gets the guts from," Vanessa sipped her cocktail basking herself in the sun while Cassie applied sunscreen on her body.We were currently in one of Asphalt's vacation houses in Manila. It was a cozy location to spend the short weekend away from all kinds of stress."I love it here, never let go of Asphalt because we won't enjoy this if you do.

Asphalt POV"Bye, mommy have a nice day," I watched my kids wave Jasmine and manager Arianna goodbye from the far end of their street while in my car. Today I decided to spend more time with the kids and get to know them more.I know I messed up pretty bad last time I was at their house. And Emil wasn't really happy with what I had done because yesterday at the filming site, he refused to acknowledge me.Once I was sure that they were gone and not coming back, I got out of my car and went to their house."Coming," I heard their little voices as they ran towards the door with their noisy stomps. "It's you, what do you want?. If it is my mommy then forget about it she is gone," Emilia answered with a glare prominent on her face."Well, I know your mommy isn't around. Can I come in?," I asked nicely, squatting to her level. She scrutinized me first like she was skeptical of letting me in. But after a while she sighed and let the door open for me."Seriously, why would you let a loser lik

So you will be going on endless world tours. And that is ultimate fame and money. I'm so proud of you," she started to cry, making me feel emotional too."Please don't cry or I might end up ruining my makeup too.

Janet's POV"I am sorry for everything I said and did to you. Please don't go," she remained cooled with a little life in her as I could feel the beat of her heart as I hugged her tight.She had saved in the cruelest manner and it was all my fault for not listening to her when necessary.By the time we arrived at the hospital, I had contacted some doctors that I knew who attended her immediately."Please hold Jasmine," I said as she was rolled into the emergency unit. Her breath was now slow yet she reached out her hand to hold my face."I am sorry that I had to do this to you but I just want you to know that I have always loved you," she managed to say and my world paused. I fell to the ground as the medical team continued their journey into the ward. I had stupidly neglected her all this while when she was the only one that truly loved me.

I scoffed from the pain I felt and wished she had just agreed to love me. But that would be hard for her. I didn't want to put any pressure on her and somehow it was my fault for pursuing her even when I knew her heart was with another man."I must have been delusional to think that we would wake up if I kept trying. I thought that with time you would come to love me but that was a lie to myself," I muttered stating the ugly truth. I could see the guilt and concern she had for me on her face and I felt sorry that I had been a burden to her.The tears that brimmed in my eyes went back on its own because it would be so cruel of me to cry In Front of her.I was deeply in love with her but my love was unrequited. "I know you are still in love with Asphalt and I am sorry for making it difficult for you to decide. But I want you to know that I will support you till the very end. That way, I can just be myself for loving you," I told her and she broke down in tears."I am so sorry that I coul

Turning off the stove, he bent me the kitchen counter and fucked me from behind.We had a quickie and got down to eat the food he prepared. "I will be going now to avoid any suspicion. You can go to my parents house if you need anything. I will be preoccupied from now on in order to get Asphalt out of our hair. Remember no calling or texting," I pecked him on his lips and left his place.By the time I got back to Asphalt's mansion, it was six in the evening and he was already home. As always he was stuck in his study."Honey, I am home," I said with disgust in my voice as I flashed him a fake smile."How was your time with your parents?" He asked and I smiled, not interested in talking to him."I will be in the room. I need to have a warm bath," I told him and walked away with a knowing smile on my face.Jazz POVThe evening breeze greased my cheek

Arianna's pov"Thank you so much for giving me the chance to meet you. I really do appreciate the fact that you made out time to see me. I know that you people have been annoyed with my young master but he really isn't who you guys think he is. I can vouch that he is an excellent child who has locked himself inside his own shell. And I am afraid that Janet has taken advantage of his weakness," she said as she sat down opposite us."We will do anything to entertain you Mrs. Margaret. Jasmine told me about you and the way you were kind to her while she was still living with you and your young master. Please tell me whatever it is that troubles you," I assured her."Things have been going on lately. I have tried to keep up the pace of everything but the more I try, the more Janet gets ahead of me.

Arianna POV"This looks nice. Is this for me?" I asked as I hugged Jeremy from behind. We were currently in his boutique and the dresses he had designed were so eye-catching. "Nope, if you want a dress I will design one for you. Just tell me what you want and I will have it designed immediately," he pecked my left cheek and I blushed like a sixteen year old girl."You will have to do all the designing by yourself. I don't have a particular style to suggest but I am sure you will be able to design a dress that will suit me perfectly. For now, I want to admire every dress here," I playfully said with a smile.He nodded and let me wander around like a kid while he kept his eyes on all the time. "Wow, how did you do this?" I pointed at a dress that had a thousand tiny crystal diamonds on it. "That dress was customized for a friend but she failed to meet my expectations. I didn't give it to her and decided to keep it," he said."Do you intend to sell it?," I asked him, keeping the dress

Janet POVI and Joe arrived at my parents house to deliver the good news. While I was on a vacation with Asphalt, all his assets were signed over to me. The thought of it was so joyous.He had handed his property over out of pity. To me Asphalt was a goner and I could kill him off now that I have acquired all his assets."Mommy, daddy, I have good news," I hugged them as I ran out of the car that I and Joe had come in."What good news my dear? You are looking so pretty this morning. Did the sun shimmer it's rays and you?" My mom praised me without knowing the source of my happiness."Something more than the sun happened to me. As you know I just got back from my vacation with Asphalt. Guess what?" I wanted to add a little suspense to make me curious.

Asphalt POVI packed the last things we needed for the vacation we were embarking on. Janet's health still bothered me a lot. She was showing any sign of weakness or fever.According to the doctor, Jazz's condition worsened due to the shock she got after her fall. He centered mostly on her slight chance of conceiving a child again. And if she did it would be a fifty-fifty chance of her and the child surviving.In order to keep her from falling into depression, I did whatever she wanted. She was bright these days and I was glad that she was trying all she could to stay happy and healthy."I think everything is ready. We can leave now honey," she said after putting her last luggage in the trunk of the car."Alright, let us hit the road. I don't want us arriving late at the airport today," I muttered, taking caution of my safety. I could still remember the thugs that had attacked me the last time I got back late from work.

Janet POV"I will be off to work, if you need anything just call me and I will answer immediately," Asphalt patted my head before he left my room.He had barely escaped death and he still had the courage to go to work. My fear must have been ineffective on him. I watched from my window as He drove out of the compound and smiled pleasantly. Today, I and Joe planned to meet up. I went into my closet and changed into something sexy enough to get his attention.On getting to the front door, Margaret decided to be a thorn on my skin. "You are supposed to be resting.

He strictly warned me to have a good rest before he gets back," she said with a straight face that got on my nerves."I just want to meet up with my friends. It would be nice if I got some fresh air. I am tired of being cooped up in my room everyday. I am sure Asphalt will not mind me stepping out for a moment," I I flashed her a fake smile.
