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.

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

Why can't I get a grip of myself?This is so bad and Arianna would be so mad at me' I bit my lips as the thought crossed through my head.I rode two men in just a few days.

She was so dear to me that I couldn't stand it when she ignored me."Mommy, what's with the determined look on your face?. If you want to talk to godmother Arianna then you should approach her and not sit here sulking,""Yeah, it will not change anything that you messed up if you keep watching her from afar," My kids said they gave me attitude too, they were not happy too that I had spent the night with Asphalt that day.

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 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.

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.

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.

"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.

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?"

The thought of it was so joyous.He had handed his property over out of pity.

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.

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.

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.
