last update Last Updated: 2024-08-30 02:40:32

Ethan's POV

“Hello lady, Are you okay?” One of the people who had been watching Jasmine's drama came to help her out.

Yeah, I referred to it as ‘drama’ because that was exactly what Jasmine had been doing.

“I'm fine,” Jasmine smiled, accepting the lady's hand as a support to get to her feet.

After the moment she chose to fall and not allow me to assist her when Mrs. Leah had slapped her. I accepted my fate and allowed her to enjoy the floor she was on, even when Mrs. Leah and Bella were gone.

Today has really been from one drama to the other from her.

Even as I haven't recovered yet from the previous one that played out when I had requested we go to the dining room to eat.

She practically mentioned the meal I always prepared for Nadin.

I mean, how did you know I can cook that, when it is not a regular meal? Not like she came around to the kitchen to see what I was cooking.

I wouldn't lie, the whole thing is becoming more questionable by the day, but then my heart can't stop beating

    Bella's POV We returned home following the incident involving us and Jasmine at the mall.My mom has been restless; I wish I could understand the reason behind that.But she has practically refused to talk to me about it, even though I have tried to get her to say something about what exactly has been bothering her.It's obvious she wasn't happy about it all, and I was sure to a certain level that it has everything to do with Jasmine.I looked at her with so much concern, but she barely spared the slightest glance at me. Yeah, it was that bad!Then I decided to log online with my phone, at least to ease off the tension in the atmosphere. I can't be lacking attention on both sides.Just as soon as I swiped up the screen, I gasped in surprise, using my left palm to cover my mouth with regard to the headlines I could see everywhere: ‘The Scott's family, Mrs. Leah and Bella, bullying others with their power.’Others had, ‘Expose the true color of the wealthy elites publicly assaulting s

    Ethan's POV.I had invited Jasmine into my office. Something urgent came up in coordination and tracking of a particular project, which happened to be part of her job descriptions. So, I needed her to stay around and do it immediately under my supervision.Jasmine was rather too good for the secretary job, within a few weeks of being here. Aside from being perfect in her job, I can tell for free that she has mastered everything around flawlessly, like she has been here forever.I wonder how long she has been practicing with her disciple before she joined us, but I didn't care to look through that in her resume because my personal assistance has already done that.While her focus was entirely on her work, I couldn't help but observe her attentively.If I have to be sincere with myself from my observation, Jasmine doesn't look like her, but I have strong feelings for her.In the midst of the silence that ensued between us, my fingers brushed against her hair gently. As if it were an inv

    Jasmine POVIn one of the company's corridors, more like a mini hallway, there was a water dispenser, allowing me to effortlessly grab a cup of water and relax.I didn't feel like taking from the one in my office. Probably as a way of stretching my legs during work hours.Bella walked past like I never existed, but I got my eyes on her, as I knew I was never safe around her.Just immediately, she did like she suddenly lost stamina and fell on me.But luckily for me, I had already finished the water in the disposable cup and made away with it; if not, the water would have messed up with my corporate gown.I had suspected her deliberate act already, as I had read her steps earlier as she approached until she walked past me, so I quickly pushed her off instantly.Just then, she got hold of herself, giving me that puzzled look like she didn't know what she did.So I returned the same surprise gestures to her with a little widened eyes, “Oh! I thought you missed a step. How come you sudde

    Jasmine’s POVIt got to my notice that Ethan had left work a bit earlier, as my office isn't too far from his, so I could easily know his movement update around the company. Before he left, he invited me over to his place. But then I had to stay back and finish my work for the day before I could leave.Just as I stepped into his sitting room when I got to his house, my eyeballs swayed to the dining table, and I noticed they were plates of food.Before I could ask or utter anything, “I made dinner, let's go and eat.” He said.I had no choice but to oblige; besides, I was exhausted and feeling famished already after a long day at work.That was just so kind of him; acting all sweet is what he does when he is in a good mood, and I wonder what it is all about.***“Mr. Ethan, why did you prepare all these?”I decided to ask after I took a few spoonfuls of the Alfredo pasta, which tasted the sweetest I have had in a while. Then gulped it down with a fruit mix he prepared all by himself.“

  • Dear ex-husband, you will regret this   Chapter 36. THE ORPHANAGE WILL PROVE THAT

    Ethan'S POVI brought Jasmine to her house, carried her to bed since she was already deep asleep. Such a fast sleeper with just a few cups of cocktail. I knew that her alcohol tolerance isn't that much; that was more reason I stopped her. If she had taken more, I wonder what would have happened to her. Aside from that, I guess I bored her with my gist that even made the whole thing worse than what it should.As I carefully placed her in the bed and turned, about to leave, I felt her hand draw my back slightly, and before I could turn, she called out “sweetness” in what seemed like a whisper.With that, I turned abruptly in a split second and noticed that her both eyes were still closed. I was surprised as somehow worry finds its way all through my face, because I thought she was already sleeping.However, I sensed that she might be experiencing a nightmare or something similar. It happens and it's understandable, with that, my face settled back to what it was before then.But on secon

    Jasmine's POV My heartbeat pace tripled as Ethan drove me to only God knows where.As soon as we got to a halt, he marched on the brake and then clicked on the ‘P’ button around the gear selector on the automatic car to control the transmission.With that, it occurred to me that we have gotten to the location he said we would be going.I observed carefully, and it's not a familiar place. I just hope it's not what I am thinking, as I can remember the name the board post had at the entrance gate while we drove in was the same name the documents Luciano got from the place of the acclaimed orphanage where I grew up had.Does it mean he brought me here to confirm things for himself? So I needed to get to know what he was up to, atleast to feed the curiosity that took over me.“Why did you bring me here?” I hastily asked, trying to shake things off as fear was about to grip every part of me.“Get down first before you come up with your unnecessary questions.” That called me quickly out of

    Ethan's POVI returned to the director's office after ensuring Jasmine was safely in the car. I wonder why, of all times, it has to be this time that she felt dizzy, or better yet, nausea.But that wouldn't stop the fact that I am here to verify the truth from the director of this orphanage, and I must do that before stepping my feet out of here. So, if she has faked the dizziness, then her plans have failed.The few days of me being a fool for her are gone, I can't be planning to spend my life with one who is full of deceits.“Oh, Mr. Ethan, you are back. I thought you were gone after you took a little longer time, and I was about to reach you now.”“There is no need for that, I am still around.” He gestured for me to have a seat, and I did.“From the little discussion we had earlier, I indicated that you don't know who the lady I came in with is.” I continued.“I am sorry, it was a mistake from my end. I can recall her now. Her name is Jasmine, and she used to be an orphan here. One

    Ethan's POVI excused myself from Mr. Clark's office and stormed out angrily a few minutes after I was sure Luciano was out of the orphanage premises. I headed straight to my car and found Jasmine still in the car where I had left her. Furthermore, I was skeptical with the thought he would take Jasmine away from the car, but then maybe he didn't know that Jasmine was here with me, as he must have thought that I came alone to make my inquiry, and then coincidentally we met.As soon as I got inside the car, I jammed the door at my end.“Oh! You are back. I am sorry.” Jasmine said in a tender tone, with those 'sorry'’ vibes. “I am not feeling too well today, so we can come another time.”At first, I ignored her, kicked the ignition, and zoomed off the orphanage premises.“Why are you not feeling well presently?” I questioned her all of a sudden on our way, obviously transferring aggression toward her with regard to my horrible experience with Luciano.“I am sorry, Ethan. It wasn't in my

Bella was also sent to prison after she was arrested abroad for drug trafficking.I had come to Ethan's grave to worship with my 2-year-old son and Luciano.“Ethan, I have come to see you and pay due respect. This is our child, and his name is Brad. He is actually 2 years old now.Isn't he adorable?Come here, son, say ‘Daddy.’” I said as soon as I dropped a bunch of flowers right before the tomb.“Daddy.”He responded cheerfully.“Doesn't he look a lot like you?Anyway, I think you are mad at me; otherwise, why haven't you ever visited me in dreams at least?Anyway, I want to remind you that I will take good care of our child for us.Before now, you were the one chasing after me, but from now on, let me engrave you in my heart.”I smiled heartily and then t

I wailed like my life depended on him coming back to life.Just then, the police surrounded the whole vicinity, and Mrs. Leah, Mr. Williams, and the hired assassins were all apprehended.I barely noticed how Mrs. Leah kept apologizing to Mr. Williams that it was all a mistake and she never meant to kill Ethan. Instead it was me that she wanted to kill.That was before the police got in, though.Although I didn't pay much attention to them as my whole focus was fixed on Ethan's dead body that lay on my lap, with our bodies having blood all over that came from his mouth and stomach where the knife had pierced him.In no time, the ambulance came and took away Ethan's corpse.It all seemed like a dream, but I have to accept the reality the hard way.One of the officers approached me.“The record has been completed.Please accept our condolences.We would have arrived a bit earlier, and this wouldn't have happened, but we n

    Ethan's POV I had gotten the location of the place by the office I had called after he tracked the number I sent to him.And so I headed there at once while he informed me to get the police squad ready and so he would join me soon.As I couldn't wait any longer, I decided to rush to the location he had already shared with me.I got in the middle of the conversation where my dad and Mrs. Leah had disclosed so many things about the truth they had been hiding from me all along.Although I had heard that was the same truth Jasmine had used to claim back the heir of the Scott family but I believed it was all manipulated by Jasmine.Now, hearing my dad and Mrs. Leah admitting it all, I have no reason to see Jasmine that way.Now, I know Jasmine was innocent and she is the Nadin but there was no time for that.When I wasn't having it, I needed to stop up from the spot I hid all the while, as I had heard all I needed to know about the truth.“Stop.”I said, pausing my dad in his act as he tr

    Williams POV“How did both of you get here? Aren't you supposed to be in prison?Does that mean you escaped custody after all your evil deeds that were labelled against you two in the law court?”Jasmine asked fiercely, trying to get up at the same time.Just when I thought she could just shut her fucking lips for once. Or it hadn't dawned on her that she was in dire danger and no one was coming to save her.Anyway, it's not her fault as she didn't know the plan is to end her life here, and nothing is ever stopping us on that.I think I needed to reset her brain a little; let's say the previous slap from the thugs didn't do enough justice, and so I went on and slapped her really hard, sending her back to the floor.“Bastard!You got me into this mess. How do you think that I could let you go just like that?”This godforsaken lady has messed up my life, big time. If not for my connections, I would definitely rot in jail over time, as I know that was part of her plan. And now, it was as

    Ethan's POV After what seemed like a short nap, I could say it's the shortest nap in the history of man, as I could feel I woke up not long after I had slept.Although I know the sleep had a lot to do with the alcohol I took and the pain I felt because I wasn't feeling sleepy nor having the thoughts of sleep before then.I staggered out to the corridor that led to my room as I wanted to ease myself at the convenience room, and then saw Nadin with my phone, though she backed me and didn't take notice of me.“Why are you with my phone?” I asked, and she freaked out as she didn't see me coming behind her.“Which day did my phone turn to yours, or do we both share the phone now without my notice?Did someone call? Who was calling?” I questioned all at a time.“Ethan... I... I...”Obviously stammering, right then, I knew she was up to something.“Give me my phone at once.”I said, stretching my hand, and took my phone from her at once.I went through the last caller because I was convince

    Jasmine’s POVWhile I was alone, the idea to escape kept striking my mind even after many failed attempts.And so, I wouldn't stop to think within me any way I could do that.So, I managed to get a broken broken that was behind me. I had sighted it from a distance, though, after so much effort of moving backward.I commenced using the bottle to slightly cut the rope, and fortunately enough for me, I got myself untied, although I injured myself in the process and blood gushed out, but that was the least thing I could worry about now. As my nervous system was more concentrated on the danger that lies within and how I would escape, it was what seemed to overtake the better part of my thoughts.I didn't bother to untie my legs; I need to at least inform someone so at least the person could contact the police in case I am escaping and the kidnappers apprehend me on their way back or something.I think that is a nice idea, and I needed to act accordingly to that immediately.I quickly picke

    Ethan's POV My life has been so shattered without Jasmine.Though I had opted for the divorce at first, I felt it could make me forget things about her so fast, but that didn't help at all. I think it even made it worse.Now, thinking of the one who claimed to be Nadin is nothing like her; if I have to be honest about it all to myself, But that was exactly Nadin's face, but then, I can't really place the dots how they connect in character.I have heard her making calls secretly, requesting the completion of the money for a service she is rendering.Seems like she has a lot of secrets too, but right now, I didn't care about all of those.One thing that I find so confusing and can't even answer is, do most women keep secrets to be happy?I wouldn't even lie that it makes me weak as fuck.I feel like I was losing it, with nobody to talk to or even share my pains with because it seems Nadin isn't even close to me the way Jasmine was.

    Bella's POV Seeing how prepared Jasmine has come to spoil the show for me. Not this event that seemed like a dream come true to me, that I had waited for some time before it finally came to a reality.And so, I had to act accordingly as my mum was too stunned to react, unlike her though.Just at the heat of the moment after she played the audio, I had fully recognized my mum's voice and that of Mr. Williams, knowing how far this could go to mess things up for me. As that was already enough proof, the board members need to know what had happened to Mr. Scott for real.I quickly snatched the tape from Jasmine and smashed it on the floor.“This voice is synthesized. It's not real, and you all shouldn't believe that trash. She doesn't need to continue to deceive you all.”I persuaded, but to my surprise, no one was ready to even listen to me as they kept glaring at me like I was talking gibberish.I went close to Jasmine, trying to drag her.“You lunatic, what are you trying to do, and w
