The headed off to the front of my apartment.I searched my pocket and reached for my keys, I opened the door and stepped in. It's dark inside and quiet inside, which means Davis and Thanatos aren't here...Or maybe they've fallen asleep, but it's just a few minutes past eight... They wouldn't go to bed so early, right? My hands searched the wall for the light switch and flicked on the lights. "Davis, momma is back" I called.Like I had thought, there wasn't any response, it's just my voice echoing back at me.They might be at Thanatos.. should I go get him first? Or cook dinner first?I turned to the wall clock and sighed deeply.. it's already 08:16pm."I guess I'll just cook dinner first, after all he's with Thanatos.. he's not gonna hurt Davis"With that thought, I headed towards the kitchen and rack the fridge for

Davis asked, bouncing up and down.Thanatos took his tiny hand in his large ones and they headed towards his car."We can come another day, but not tomorrow"Davis stopped walking at once, he snatched his hand from Thanatos."You said you will bring me to the park everyday!" Davis whined.He pouted his lips and gave Thanatos an accusing glare.. Thanatos squatted to his level and held Davis face in his hands."Davis, we can't sneak out tomorrow because it's Saturday... and also, we had so much fun today that we lost track of time.. your momma's gonna be so worried and she's gonna scold us when we get home"He wiped off a lone tear that was running down Davis's cheek, he smiled."We'll come another, but

Arthur asked."She's meeting us on his stead, she said Mr Hajime took an early flight to Africa for business"Arthur didn't reply, he's attention is solely on his phone."Mr Smith?""Hmm" Arthur hummed, still not taking his attention from his phone."Mr Smith!"

Jasmine's pov "Baby, what's going on?" Thanatos asked me.I took a glance at Clark, he's begging me with his eyes not to disclose anything to Thanatos.That means, Thanatos doesn't even know about this yet.Well, I kinda understand why Clark doesn't wanna let him know, being mocked and laughed at by your best friend hurts sometimes. And in Clark's case, it's gonna hurt him...maybe it even increase the pain he's going through right now."What's going on, baby?" Thanatos asked again."It's nothing, darling, it's just an inside joke" I replied. Thanatos gave me a look that said, are you sure and I simply nodded.Adele and I exchange looks again, then burst into another fits of laughter.. but we quickly sobered up this time."Thana, let's go to your apartment" Clark said to Thanatos.. while glaring at Adele by the way, his hands are still covering his d**k though."Let's stay and eat something first" Thanatos replied.My head turned towards him slowly, he's speaking as if he told me t

I'll be coming back to America and I'll be the manager of our branch in America...""What are you trying to say?" Arthur interrupted her.She stared at him briefly, she licked her lower lip before continuing."We can talk things through and sort out or differences...you know, there wasn't an official breakup between us...we can still work things out"Arthur crossed his arms on his chest and leane
Jasmine's pov His lips moved against mine furiously, his kiss speaking out his emotions.. telling me how angry my words actually made him.He bite my lower lip, asking for permission to explore my mouth. My mouth opened, giving him the free access he's asking for.He shoved his tongue in my mouth, touching every corner, touching and familiarizing every inch of my mouth.My eyes shut on their own accord to enjoy the kiss proper, his lips were so soft against mine.He grabbed my tongue with his teeth and sucked on it, after a few minutes of sucking and biting my tongue.. he shoved his tongue down my throat, making me gag.His left hand encircled my waist, while his right hand grabbed my boobs.He massaged my breast gently, making a soft moan escaped my throat.He moved his lips away from my mouth, he kissed along my jawline down to my collarbone.Meanwhile his hand continued massaging my breast, his lips found their way to my soft spot.. behind my ear and they focused there.My hands c

He ended the call and quickly checked his email.His smirk grew larger as he stared at the photo, he showed it to Jade."See?"Jade frowned."But what about my husband? Our deal wasn't to get him killed...I just wanted to get rid of Jasmine"Henry looked at him, from her head to toe."You can just be my wife, after all, I'll be the only heir after we get rid of their bast*td too""What?! But that's not our deal, we...""Deal can change anytime" he said."You..." Jade glared at him. "I shouldn't have trusted you.
Jasmine pov I pushed the door opened in a hurry, but halted when I saw Peter already standing in front of Thanatos.I glared at him."What are you doing here?!" I growled at him."Mrs O'Briens" he greeted me with a bow.I scoffed."Stop acting! Don't think I don't plot, you're not gonna succeed!"He looked at me in a confused and lost manner, like he does know what I'm talking about."Stop acting innocent!" I rushed to Thanatos side, I quickly sat on the bed next to him."Don't believe whatever this devil says, he's a bad man""Baby, calm down and talk to me clearly.. what did he do?"I glared at Peter one more time."He's double crossing you"Thanatos narrowed his eyes at Peter and Peter quickly bowed his head, then Thanatos turned back to me with an arched eyebrow.

Thana's been trying to get me to the hospital for check ups, but I kept refusing.But finally, he succeeded in dragging me to the hospital, now entering the doctor's office (aunt Grace) is now a problem. I sighed."I'm gonna be here with you, also, it's just gonna take five minutes and we'll be done" he said.I rolled my eyeballs at his words, he's talking as if he's the doctor.. what a sweet talker."Let's go" I said. He nodded and pushed the door opened, then made way for me to go in and he followed after me."Aunt" I called aunt Grace when we fully entered her office.She closed the file she was reading and lifted her head.. she broke into a full smile when she realized it's me."Jasmine,

Currently, we're listening to the recorded conversation.But while this is going on, an old man whom I just got to know as Mr Roman, is glaring daggers at ma Gloria."Ahem!" An officer cleared his throat. "Mr Roman, what do you have to say about this? Did you had this conversation?" He asked the old man.Mr Roman simply glared at ma Gloria and scoffed, he refused to speak a word."I'll take your silence as a yes...""Don't waste your breath, I know you're gonna send my case to the court.. but first, I want to see my grandson" Mr Roman said.His grandson? That should be Thana's stepbrother... I looked around but there's no unfamiliar face here, it's just us."Grandfather, I'm here!" An unfamiliar voice spoke from the hallway.I turned and waited until he walked into the office or interrog
Jasmine's pov The next morning..."Is it really necessary for you guys to go there?" Adele asked.My eyes flicked towards Peter who's carrying our bags to the car, then sighed. "Yeah.."She frowned at the bags Peter's carrying, then took my hands in hers and pouted."Why are y'all taking so much bags with you? Do you plan on settling there already?"I frowned slightly, then burst into a brief laugh."Adele, we might stay for some days.. you're making it sound like I'm abandoning you""Are you not?" she asked."You're just being overly dramatic" I told her.Just then we heard a knock on the door, I wanted to go get it but Adele told me not to bother.Her flicked to my stomach and she smiled, she pushed me onto a sofa and made me sit down."You should take care of yourself now" she said, her eyes still on my stomach.I rolled my eyeballs."I told you guys, this might just be a false alarm" Honestly, I didn't want anyone to find out about this just yet, because it might be a false ala

Mr Evans asked.I bite my lower lip, swallowed the nervous lump in my throat and shook my head."No" I answered. "He was a farmer"It's better I tell him the truth now, I can't bear the repercussions if he finds out I lied later...rich people are always powerful."Was?" He tilted his head slightly."Yes, sir...he died last year, he suffered lung cancer" I said. Mr Evans nodded, he exchanged a knowing look with his wife and her lips curved in a smile.. or smirk.. I don't know.I'm too nervous."What about you? Which of the universities did you attend?"His question made my blood ran cold, will he chase me out if I told

Jasmine's pov A tap on my shoulder woke me up from my sleep, I sat up and massaged my stiffed neck... a yawn left my mouth.Wait...when did I fall asleep? weren't we just watching a movie?My eyes located the wall clock in Adele's living room, a gasp left my mouth at once... It's been two hours already.How could I sleep for such a long time? I guess the movie was too boring and I ended up falling asleep. "Jas, they are back!" Adele said.I sprang off the sofa abruptly, my heart suddenly skipped and some unknown fear gripped me..my heart started beating fast.I hope it all went well..."Jas, Clark and Thana are back!" she repeated her words."They're back?" I asked again.I turned towards Davis who's already sleeping on the sofa, I carried him on my shoulder and snatched his backpack from the table. "Em...good luck" I told her, referring to her meeting with her in-laws.She smiled and nodded. "Thank you, I think I really need some luck"Just then, her door pushed opened and Clark r
Writer's pov"Clark!!" Thanatos called his name, but Clark isn't moving.Not that he doesn't wanna move, but he's in shock and can't react. Thanatos pushed him away, but he wasn't fast enough.The bullet hit him (Thanatos) and went through his chest, just an inch away from his heart.Thanatos gasped loudly in pain, he aimed randomly and shot at whoever shot him... he clung on his bleeding chest."Thana.. I think we should retreat and think of another plan" Clark said worriedly.Thanatos focused his gaze on the retirement home ahead of him, he shook his head in disagreement."We must get my mom out today!" He got up and knocked Clark out."Peter stay and watch over him, find a hideout and hide there.. until it's all over" he told Peter."Mr O'Briens..."I glared at him, but he ignored my glare and continued."...you can't fight with those guys, they're skilled assassins""Don't make me knock you out too" he said and rushed towards the gun fire battle. **Thanatos pov Standing in the

We're currently sitting round a table, in a restaurant right opposite Molina's retirement home."I discovered something very interesting" he said again and paused.Can he just finish his words in a go? I have very important things to do than listening to him blab about his date."Those security men patrolling the place, can you see them?" He asked.I faced him and realized he's pointing at the security men guiding the retirement home."Yes? What's with them?" I asked, then turned my gaze back to the security men."They are spies, they're not real security men"I rolled my eyeballs and shook my head, then poured him a glass of water."Clark, tell me something I don't know" I told him, dumping the glass of water in front of him."What do you mean?

I scolded her.She slapped her hands on her mouth, but doesn't stop screaming. When she's had enough, she stopped. "I knew you'd react this way, that's why I brought you to the locker room" I told her in warning tone.She scoffed and shrugged off my words, crazy female."You mean, Elvis was sent here by your dad.. to watch over you?" She asked."Yeah""Now it all makes sense!" She exclaimed."What makes sense?". I asked.She got up, I sighed and rolled my eyeballs.. she's about to make it dramatic.Her hands behind her, she paced to and fro in front of me...she tilted her head as though she's thinking."Our behaviors throughout these years should have gotten us fired, but it didn't"Adele nodded her head, she stopped pacing and reache
