Chasing my substitute bride Chapter 53
Jazz's POVIt was another Saturday after a long stressful week. I was trying to get a beauty sleep but Emil and Emilia kept jumping on my bed making squeaky noises. "Mommy, we want to go over to Great grandpa Max's place. Please let us go there again mommy," they bounced up and down preventing me from falling asleep. "Really, I thought we went last weekend. C'mon, mommy is trying to get a good sleep. Maybe we can go tomorrow," I tried to convince them but they were too persistent in throwing their tantrums. I sighed, giving up on my sleep,"fine we can go today. Just go and find something nice to wear," I said and they stepped down from my bed, rushing out of the room."Hello," I hesitated after Asphalt had picked my call on the first ring."Are you going to talk or not?," he said and I blew my cheeks with air in annoyance. Even in the morning, he was damn rude."Whatever, I'm going over to your Grandfather's place," I quickly said, ending the call instantly."Ugh, he gives me chills

Jazz POVIt was a Sunday morning, a good day to relax or go on a yacht cruise but a text message from my step mom darkened my mood.She had rudely invited me to a family dinner. For the past three months since I came back to California, they never called me or paid a visit.In anger, I replied to her text with the cruellest words that formed in my head. “I don't dine with witches, you can eat with your damn family. I'm allergic to gold diggers!," I added a fuck emoji.After a few minutes, she started to call me. My step mom was the least person I liked. She was too scheming and cunny. Everything I ever had was taken away from me and she made me live in Janet's shadow. And her actions were the reason why I ended up this way, not that I regret having my kids but regret meeting Asphalt the way I did.I sighed and put my phone on silent but the caller changed to my father. He too had become estranged from me. I even felt sorry for him because he was suffering all the fuss of my step mom

Janet POVEver since I announced my pregnancy that day during dinner, Asphalt has been treating me nicely. He was super excited after I broke the news and oh, I would never forget the look on Jasmine's face. Now she would know her place and let go of Asphalt."Hey, honey," I pecked Asphalt when he came down from our room to the living room. "I will be inviting my friends over, I would like us to spend some time at your vacation house. Not outside the country though. I haven't told them about our baby and would love to surprise them in a grand way," I said and he nodded agreeing to my request."Alright, take care of yourself. How many days will you spend with them at the vacation house?," he asked."Two days at least, why do you ask?," I muttered wanting to know his reason."Why?, can't I ask when you would be returning?. Or is there something else you have in mind?," he looked at me inquisitively."No, I just wanted to know that's all. Have fun at work," I waved at him as he approache

Jazz POVIt was another plain day without much work. I had already done a little photo shoot for a mini magazine that needed a buzz. However, it did not change the fact that I was still depressed from the family dinner I had attended."You are really a mess right now Jasmine. This behavior of yours can't continue like this. I can't stand it when you are depressed. I'm calling Jacob to come over," Arianna said, picking up her phone immediately.I had no energy to argue her out of her decision. If she wanted Jacob to come over then fine. I will still be the same lazy depressed fool.Every Time I thought about Janet carrying Asphalt's child, I felt sick. I had turned into a monster that wished bad for a baby who had done no wrong.It was insane but I couldn't stand it anymore. I felt more than betrayed after the news. I thought I and Asphalt were getting everything before. We kissed and made love with him all the time. And look where it got me.Hah!I keep forgetting that Janet was his lo

And the last episode of the season."And end!," the director announced and everything came to its conclusion.

They were here too, this morning before I came to work, they insisted on following Arianna and I since this was our last day."Alright, I'm watching," I laughed heartily as they jumped around with their arms locked together.They stood across from each other and played with jelly and Jane. An American soap that they loved to watch a lot. "Don't do that jelly, you will only fall. Oh you have fallen already," Emilia rolled her eyes as Emil fell to the floor gently."My heart is what has fallen for you Jane. The floor is just an understatement. I will fall from whatever height to get you to love me Jan

Janet POVAsphalt and I decided to pay his grandfather a visit. I was really interested in going because the old man obviously hated my guts.However, I would love to see the look on his face once Asphalt announces my expectation to him. I'm sure he would automatically like me. Even though I didn't like him, he was also the source of Asphalt's wealth. And it would be more exciting if I won him over, that way Asphalt would easily hand me all his assets."I hope he accepts me this time. I feel so nervous right now. What if he rejects me again?, your grandfather scares me," I pouted, acting unease by rubbing my belly."Don't worry, I'm sure he will like you this time since you are carrying his great grandchild." Asphalt kissed the back of my hand as he drove to his grandfather's residence."You know, I have always wished that he would like me. I know that I look like an incompetent wife to him. But I really do care about you and his sentiments really affect me. I wish I could be as good

Arianna POVJeremy and I decided to go on a coffee date together since it was a working day. It was a romantic date between the two of us. Ever since we arrived at the shop, he had been staring at me with a lovely gaze that indicated how he was helplessly in love with me.My cheeks became a constant red as if I was in a hot sauna. "At this rate, you would make me lose my grip Jeremy," I purred, joining him in his staring contest."Why don't you come over here for me to look deeper into your eyes. I don't like the distance between us at all," he daringly patted the vacant space beside him.His words were quite alluring but I knew too well that sitting beside him would turn into a steamy session which shouldn't be in a public place like this."Hmm, nope that offer of yours is quite tempting but I can't risk our image. There are cameras everywhere," I indicated with my index finger and he laughed, surrendering from his seduction."You should really...,""I can't believe she has the ball

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.

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.

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.
