Arianna POVAfter releasing Jazz's new song, my team and I decided to plan a live performance which she is preparing for tonight. The song was so deep and I had no doubt that it would be able to miss an award. Within two weeks, the song had been streamed with hundred billion views making it the number one song on the chart billboard."Please make sure that everything is in check. Let there be no error this the moment of our lives so let us make it happen," I encouraged our team because without them, none of this would have happened.As I was clapping and giving directions my eyes caught a glimpse of Jacob walking in through the entrance of the backstage, then Asphalt followed and my face scrunched with anger.'what the hell is he doing here?. This man always has the guts to show his face around Jazz after what he made her pass through' I vented in my mind as I approached Jacob to welcome him."You came just in time and with gifts. Trust me she will love them. She is currently in the d

Jazz POVI woke up the next morning on Jacob's bed knowing fully well what we had done last night. He had his gaze on me but I pretended not to look at him because of the embarrassment I felt.what would he think of me now that we had slept with each other. I didn't want this to happen because our friendship would be on a high note of awkwardness. And Jacob was a nice guy, I didn't love him yet I agreed to sleep with him which paints me as a bad person.He noticed my discomfort and decided to leave first. He was just too kind. "I will go make us breakfast, you can shower in my bathroom and come down later," his voice sounded relaxed and happy. I was the worst because I was taking advantage of him.Once he left, I got out of his bed and went into the bathroom. using his shampoo and everything made me smell like him. I can't believe I slept with Jacob. This is bad. What the hell am I going to do?I don't want to break his heart.I wore my clothes and went down to meet him. He looked ver

Jazz POVThe thought of last night troubled me as I quietly climbed the stairs that led to the front porch of my house. I had spent the entire night fucking with Asphalt at the hotel that we had a meeting.'Gosh. 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. This would only mean my indecisiveness to make the right choice.Opening the front door slowly after I had inputted the code, I tiptoed through the corridor but paused on my track when I had an I contact with Arianna.She looked so pissed while sitting with her hands crossed above her chest in the living room. "Where did you spend the night again Jasmine?," she threw her question with a distinguishing glare that made me get tongue tied. "I know you had a meeting at the hotel yesterday and I know the time is over. So where did you go after then?," she interrogated me like I was a six year old that was caught

Jasmine POVIt's been a week since Arianna talked to me even though we lived in the same house. She would only attend to my kids and talk to me only when it came to business matters.And I was already fed up by her silence. Arianna wasn't the kind of person I wanted to fight with. 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. If I wasn't their mom, I would have suffered from severe depression because none of them were talking to me."Are you two not really going to help me reconcile with Riri?. I can't stand her snubbing me anymore," I acted like baby In Front of my six years old babies."Fine, but you have to p

Janet POVA week later after Asphalt had helped me Land the fashion company contract, the news about the film awards was spread around the media showing and anticipating different nominees for the awards.The awards was the only event actors and actresses had to show themselves, whether in wealth, fame and beauty. And I was of all, definitely no one would be able to be compared to me."Make me look extremely pretty okay," I told the makeup artist that was handling my face. I was having an interview today and thanks to Asphalt's backing, I was invited on set to discuss the upcoming event.I got out my phone and read the interview questions my manager had texted me. After my makeup was done, my agent came into my private room and informed me of the show time.There were three minutes remaining before the show would go live. So my team rounded up everything that needed to be done before I left for the stage."Hello, you look good," I greeted the host since I was in a good mood. He nodded

Jasmine POVA week later, the day of the film awards breezed the entire city. It was all over social media, hosts analyzing and anticipating the year's winners or rather celebrities in beautiful designs worth millions and above.While I was masking my face, Arianna walked into the house with a bright smile on her face. She had been working since morning and I kinda felt for her in a way."Your back, let me get you something to...," I got up from the couch where I sat with my kids to attend to her but she signaled me with her index finger not to bother."We are going somewhere, I have arranged something special for us," she said and I grew curious. I knew that Arianna would go extra miles to get us to look perfectly stunning for the red carpet. And I was excited to find out this surprise was going to be."Something special?, what is it? Tell me," I tried to butter up but my kids sighed, getting my attention."No, mommy, surprises are might to be secret until when it will no longer be a

Janet POVThe film awards still infuriated me as I watched Jazz scattered all over social media as the queen of entertainment and beauty. Even if she had won the awards on merit, she was no better than me in any way. That damn host was just too blunt for my liking.I sighed and dropped my tablet on the table in anger hissing out loud. "Is there a problem?," Asphalt asked me as he walked into the living room about to leave for the day."No, there is nothing wrong. Are you going to work already?I thought you would stay a little longer," I tried to act cute but he was too low on EQ to understand my action."I see you in the evening," he said and left the house without giving me a goodbye kiss. He was too damn cold for my liking. I watched his car drive out of the compound before I went back to the living room.I had nothing in particular to do today and my manager was on her day off. So I had no one to pester, not even my friends because they too had a busy schedule.As I skimmed throug

Jasmine POVI was dressing up my kids when the doorbell rang. It was Saturday and I didn't expect any visitors in particular. Except if Jacob had planned to come visit.I didn't bother to look through the peephole and opened the door only to see Asphalt standing on my front porch."What the hell are you doing here?," I blurted out with the rage that had grown in my voice after opening the door."Don't yell at me Jasmine, I'm just here to take the kids out for the weekend," he boldly stated after what he had done on the awards day."Mommy, who is at the door?,""Did uncle Jacob come?," my babies ran over to where I was and on seeing Asphalt, they turned away. "If he is the one, then we don't want to spend time with him. I rather spend time with uncle Jacob than him," they wobbled away making their own decisions.I smiled at Asphalt, knowing that he had no luck this time and decided to shut the door in his face. But he was fast at holding the door, preventing me from shutting it entire

Asphalt pov"Oh, you are the Asphalt she always talked about. I am glad that you finally came to your Senses but it took too long. My sweet pearl always told me about you regardless of the way you treated her. She truly loved you to the extent that it hurt me to see her suffer because of you. I won't blame you for anything because I, myself, wronged her. Please, I will leave my child in your hands because she believes in you. I know that it will be hard for you to forgive yourself for what you did but Jasmine is not the kind to bear grudges. If she loves you then you have to stop dwelling on your regrets. That way you and her can live peacefully. And grandfather, I want to thank you for holding on to my daughter. I wish I could stay longer but I have to make up for the things I missed in my daughter's life. Please do take care of her. I will be back once I am done," she bowed her head completely leaving her daughter to us.My grandfather saw her out of the hospital since he too had som

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. Mrs Margaret was right this whole time and now that she was at the brick of death was the only time I realized my foolishness. All this time my

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

Arianna's pov "I am horny right now and I want you to fuck me over the kitchen counter," I whispered to his ear and he lost his control. 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. I have been trying to reach Jasmine for a long time now but I think she blocked everyone's number in the household. I won't blame her for it but she needs to know about Janet's activities. My yo

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. "C'mon my darling you know that we are too old to start playing that guessing game," my mom pouted like a kid and I laughed agreeing to tell her Immediately."Mom, Dad, I finally have Asphalt's properties in my name!" I jubilated and she

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. The attack was something that I sensed was planned because the t

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. Your husband will not be glad to find out that you left the house in your condition. 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.
