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
Adele's pov "Jas, are you sure I look ok?" I asked Jasmine for the hundredth time. Jasmine sighed feeling frustrated at my repeated question...and slumped onto her dressing table, she held her head in her hands.Ok.. let me brief you guys.After Clark left me at the mall, I came home directly to get dressed.But I suddenly remembered I'll be meeting his parents, It wouldn't look good if I dress so crazily.. but the problem is, I'm not good at getting dressed up and stuff.Which left me just one person... Jasmine! She's a fashion icon, she's my only hope.. that's why I'm in her room right now."Say something, Jas" She groaned."Adele, you look absolutely fabs!" She replied.I twirled around in front of her mirror and smiled in satisfaction, she really did a great job.The make-up she did for me is just so impeccable, the way she stylishly gelled and combed my hair is absolutely a masterpiece! "I should be sleeping by now" she grumbled.Oh..right, I woke her up from sleep."Sleepin
Writer's pov Chicago... Sir Roman's resident...Henry halted outside the door, he grabbed the handle but hesitated as he pondered wether to go in or not.Suddenly, the door pushed open and Simon (sir Roman's butler), stepped out."Mr O'Briens" he greeted Henry with a bow."Is grandfather inside?" Henry.He tilted his head and took a glance inside, but couldn't see Sir Roman."Yes, Mr O'Briens... he said he knows you're here"Henry took a deep breath, he nodded and pushed Simon aside then walked in.He walked straight into the living room, with Simon trailing behind him.Sir Roman sat on a recliner, a glass of wine in his hand and a TV remote on the other hand.. he's watching a wrestling match."Sir, Mr O'Briens is here" Simon reported.Sir Roman simply waved him off, he turned to Henry with a smile.. that clearly doesn't reach his eyes."Henry... My grandson!"Henry shut his eyes at how fondly his grandfather just called his name.. he knows something deadly is coming afterwards.
