Jasmine's pov "Fine! I surrender!" Adele raised her hands and fell on her knees.I walked towards her, grabbed her ears and twisted it as hard as I could.We've been running round and round for good twenty minutes, Clark and Thanatos has been laughing out their lungs."Do you realized what you've done? Do you know how how much efforts it's gonna trying to correct that kid's tongue?" I asked her.She shook her head, wincing in pain with her eyes shut tightly. "I didn't mean to say it in front of him, I.. I forgot he was sitting beside me" she explained.I sighed and helped her up, I just wanted to have fun."I was just messing with you" I said.My eyes moved towards Davis, he's already fallen asleep on his father's laps."You did a great job looking after Davis these past weeks, thank you so much" I thanked her."Davis is a cute boy and anyone would love to have him around" she sighed, stared at Davis and laughed as if she recalled something."Though he made me go through hell, but
Thanatos' pov I adjusted Davis's uniform, I just helped him (Davis) changed into a new uniform.Looking at him is just as if I'm staring at my five years old self, he's just as handsome as I was."Come on, let's go tell momma we're leaving" I said."Hm" he nodded in agreement.He grabbed my pinky finger and we headed to Jasmine's room. My phone ran and I reached for it, I saw it's my assistant calling."June!" I answered the call."Good morning, Mr O'Briens..." she greeted and paused.I simply hummed and nodded in response, temporarily forgetting she can't see me."... I called to remind you about the meeting this morning" she said."Alright.. remind the team again, it's 9am and tardiness is not allowed""Yes, sir""Anyone who's late, should consider themselves fired!" I sounded bossy.. but I don't care, that's why I'm the boss."Yes, Mr O'Briens"I realized we've arrived outside Jasmine's room, I hanged up and shoved the phone back in my pocket.Davis already pushed the door open, w
Jasmine pov"Thana...." I cut myself off when I discovered he's still in his meeting.D*mn! His meetings are always long and f**king boring, a meeting that started at 9am, is still on.He turned towards me and took in my outfit, he frowned slightly."Where are you going all dressed up?" He asked.Isn't he in a meeting? Why is he talking to me?"Baby?""Out" I simply replied."Wait for me, I'll be done soon" he said.I gave him a weird stare. Like seriously he wants me to wait until his meeting is over? "I can't, I have an appointment" I replied and headed out before he could stop me.I pushed the door open and stepped out."Mrs O'Briens!"I flinched back when I heard this voice, though it's a familiar voice.. but it still gave me a fright. "Peter, what are you doing here? Your boss called for you?" I asked.My hand placed on my chest.. as I tried to calm myself down. "Yes, ma'am, he said I should drop you off wherever you're going"I narrowed my eyes."I just left Thanatos inside,
Jasmine's pov She's a very magnanimous woman, but sadly she doesn't know who she is.I remembered when we first met... #flash_back_2017_february_20thI had just got back from grocery shopping, when I suddenly remembered I forgot my purse with my last few cash.A tired and frustrated groan left my mouth, when I stared outside...I lifted my head and stared at the sky.The sun is shining very brightly outside. I was happy I had escaped the sun, but now I have to walk under it again.Walking under the scorching sun isn't something I enjoy at all, it's always gives me an internal heat.. and makes me sweat profusely.Especially now that I'm pregnant.With sigh, I stepped out of my apartment.. or Arthur's apartment rather.I sluggishly walked a few poles away from my place, then arrived at a main road.Just when I was about to hail a cab, someone tapped my shoulder and I turned back.A woman who seem to be in her early forties smiled at me."Good afternoon, ma'am" I greeted her, returning
Adele's pov Mike's kitchen...."... thanks for your patronage" I said to a customer as he exit the restaurant.A tired grunt left my mouth and I grimace, when my eyes landed on the table the customer just vacated. There wasn't any rush today at the restaurant, but I'm d*mn tired and sleepy.. after all, I haven't been getting enough sleep since Davis gave me sleepless nights.I would have loved to stay at home and sleep to my heart content, but that wouldn't look good.. I might lose my job for that.My legs groggily moved towards the table, to clear the plates. "Adele!" Elvis called me.I lifted my head and saw him approaching me, he looked serious as though I've committed an unforgivable sin."Elvis....""The customer that just left, he stole from us" he said."What?!" I exclaimed.My eyebrows furrowed."How? I was with him the whole time" I said."The storage keys, where is it?" He asked."The storage key, it's...."I quickly searched my pockets, my eyes grew wide and my mouth
Jasmine's pov Ma Gloria gulped the water, flushing the drug hanging in her throat."I told you, those meds are so bitter" she whined.She grimaced in a funny way and I laughed at her childishness."Ma, you're just exaggerating" I said.She leaned back on her chair, and signaled me to turn on the AC.. which I did, she closed her eyes.The nurse from earlier, came back in and carried the tray of food and drugs."It's a good thing you're here, Jasmine, we wouldn't have been able to convince her to take her drugs" she said."Don't worry, Vera, I'll be coming around now and she won't be able to skip her meds now" I said.Ma Gloria sneakily opened her right eyes, but quickly shut it when she noticed we...(Vera and I) are staring at her. We shook our heads and laughed."I should attend to the others" Vera said and left.She sighed when she heard Vera shut the door, she adjusted herself on the chair."Ma, have you remembered anything about your past recently?" I asked."No" she murmured."W
Jasmine's pov *...I don't care how you do it, but make sure you get it done!*That's Thanatos barking orders at someone on the phone, since we got home.. he's been on a bad mood, getting angry at every call he received.It must be because he was denied by his mother.*...you better, or consider yourself fired!* He snapped and hanged up.I sighed, shaking my head, bosses and their temperament.. always putting their employees on a hot sit!Setting the knife aside, I reached for a small bowl and poured in the diced chicken.Arms wrapped around my waist from behind, the scent of his cologne hits me.. but I already knew it was him without his cologne.After all, it's just the three of us (Davis, Thanatos and I) in the house.He snuggled his head onto my shoulder, catching a whiff of my perfume and he inhaled deeply.. in contentment."What is my baby cooking?" He asked."About to fry your a*s!" I replied.Though in a very low tone, so Davis won't catch what I said. That kid is d*mn smart a
Adele's pov I stepped out of the changing room, in an off shoulder gown that stops at my mid thigh.. I twirled. I spread my arms and put on a very bright smile, I faced Clark."What do you think?" I asked him.He face palmed himself and groaned disapprovingly, he shook his head."Absolutely no!" He said.My eyebrows drew together in a deep frown, I pouted and angrily kicked the red heels I was wearing."What do you mean, absolutely no?" I asked in a deep resonate voice. "This isn't matured enough!" he said.I looked down at the dress, how is this dress not matured? Did he expect me to wear a granny's gown?I lifted my head and narrowed my eyes at him."Let's just leave! I'm not gonna try on another dress!" I snapped at him.Like seriously, this is the twenty-seventh dress I'm trying on, he's been disapproving every single dress I tried on.It's either not matured enough, or too slutty...or too babyish! None of them suits his taste.We've been going round in circles for almost two h
