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.

He had sex with me three times already tonight and this was the fourth one, I wanted to sleep but I wouldn't dare make a fool of him by sleeping off while he lay over me.For the fourth time, I let him thrust as hard as he wanted as I let the tears that I had been holding back fall.

    Jasmine's POV“ I can't believe you're not pregnant yet!” He banged his clenched fist against the dining table as the array of chairs separated us. I for once was glad that I was sitting at the other end, it was technically my life saver right now. He threw the test results aside in anger.“ There's no need to be mad, it's just been a few months since we got married. It's not abnormal for concep...,” I mumbled in fear.“ Mrs Margaret, from now on make sure Jasmine doesn't eat any junk food. Feed her with mostly fruits and vegetables and don't forget to make her drink low-fat butternut squash bisque,” he instructed.“ You can't do that to...,” I sealed my lips at his intense glare. He knew I loved junk food and now he was going to take everything out. Warm tears built up in my ears with some escaping and flowing freely down my cheeks.“ Sir, don't you think you're being too... extreme?” Mrs. Margaret spoke up for me even though she filtered and weighed her words.

    Janet's POV"I'm not quite satisfied with this necklace; it's lovely, but it doesn't quite match my worth," I remarked with a hint of disappointment in my voice."That's perfectly understandable. What type of necklace are you interested in, ma'am?" the sales associate inquired politely."I'd like something...""You know what, refresh my memory, how much did you mention it costs?" I asked, my brow furrowing in mild irritation."$1,850, ma'am," the sales associate replied, trying to maintain a professional demeanor."Oh please, just forget about it." I said, rolling my eyes and shaking my head in disapproval. "What did you say that one's price is again?," I asked, pointing to a red ruby necklace that caught my eyes.“Oh my gosh, Janet that would suit you so much,"“I'm so jealous of you right now, I wish I could be you,"“Stop dreaming, Janet is too beautiful to be you," My friends praised me since it was my wedding preparation.

We flew down to a private island he owned.I had decided to have my bridal shower party at the vacation house on the island. Now, we were in one of his yachts having a chilled coconut milk while we basked in the early morning sun.“Your husband must really love you to allow you to do this. After what happened yesterday," Vivian said, turning her back for the maid to oil her skin.“Have you forgotten that Our Jannie is an irresistible beauty. I'm sure he regretted what he had done," Carissa bragged like she was the one marrying my husband.“She is right.

    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.

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

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.

"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

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.
