Bella’s POV

My mom and I had known about this banquet that was being hosted by Jordan's family—a renowned family that everyone that had worth in the city wanted to have something with them.

Business-wise and otherwise.

And so it attracted every respected and dignified personality you could think of in the city because just their influence can elevate one from nothing to a significant family.

Just when we were waiting for the processes to commence as we had arrived earlier to get a nice and probably the best spot. I noticed everyone's neck tilted in a particular direction, and I think the way they did it actually demanded some attention.

I turned to see what must have happened; maybe it was Mr. Jordan, the CEO of Jordan's group, that just got in.

But unfortunately, I saw it was Jasmine and Ethan.

I wouldn't know why they are so bent on making me feel less and even going extra to rub it in my face.

To think they had matching outfits for the day that complimented each other was another t

    Jasmine's POVI had excused myself from the hall after we walked past the drama between Bella and me.And so I went to the restroom to ease myself, then afterward moved close to a mirror to adjust my makeover before I could go back.While on it, the door to the spacious corridor of the rest room creaked open and revealed Mrs. Leah.With the smirk as she approached, I understood she had to come to me; maybe she had traced me to the restroom.Who knows.And so I had to play along.“Mrs Leah? What a coincidence to have you here. Didn't expect to meet you here, you know.”She furrowed her brows in confusion; let's say she didn't expect me to be this free with her after what had played out between Bella and me in the hall not quite long ago.“You look a bit unwell.Is everything alright with you?What's wrong?”Not like she looked that bad, but I went to ask, just to stir up a reaction if I could since it was just the both of us. “Or you didn't rest well? Tell me, you had nightmares?”I c

    Leah's POVAfter the scene that played out between Bella and Jasmine, though I had stood from a distance and observed, it brought out the venom in myself like that of a python ready to attack its prey, and I could imagine how my daughter would have felt on her side.Just the ugly comments from the audience were enough to belittle me and everything that Scott had attached to their name.I wouldn't just sit back and act like everything was fine with me.And so I had to come up with something real quick.Seeing Jasmine excuse Ethan, I suspected she must be heading to the restroom, probably to ease herself.I wouldn't know until I checked for myself.I carefully removed the designer necklace that cost a fortune I had on.That was one of its kind from the most luxury jewelry shop in the city, I had ordered specifically because of the relevance of the day's event.I looked at my daughter and gave her those comforting words she needed to hear.“Bella, don't make a fuss. Mum will definitely l

    Jasmine’s POVI met up with Ethan as soon as I returned from the restroom.“Why did you take so long?” He questioned me with so much concern from every word he said.“Is everything alright?” He added as he placed his right hand on my hair, trying to adjust it as he observed some strands of hair flipped across my face.“Everything is fine.”I replied enthusiastically, seeing how ecstatic he was to show me off.Just then, Luciano passed by, and we both exchanged this cheerful eye contact, kind of greeting without saying a thing.Of course, because of my soldier lover beside me before he starts suspecting a thing as usual.But even at that, Ethan wasn't cool with the eye contact, as I was convinced he must have noticed Luciano and I just winced my eyes in greeting.I can always count on Jealous Ethan when such things happen.And immediately, he let his hold off me and wouldn't say a thing but rather took his eyes off in the opposite direction.I wonder what he was looking at, but I think

    Leah's POV“Miss Jasmine, have you seen my necklace?”I questioned Jasmine the moment I approached herself and Ethan.She chuckled at the question as she must have found it all funny.But I wouldn't blame her though, only if she knew that I had carefully placed it inside her bag.“Mrs. Leah, what do you mean?”She questioned me, now forcing out a smile.But I wasn't backing off, as I could already imagine the drama that is likely to play out soon in my head.Since she had the guts to humiliate my daughter, Bella here, then I will give her in folds what humiliation is all about.“Besides, I only saw you just now at the restroom, and it was only the both of us there. The necklace wasn't taken by you, wasn't it? It's a simple question, so just go ahead and answer me right now.”“Are you implying I stole your necklace or something?”She defended.“Of course. That piece was designed by the chief jewelry designer, Hanson. It's the only one in the world. It was worth millions, and you would

You mean that she actually had it all along and she has been pretending?”“To think she had to hit Mrs. Leah in the process even when she knows she is a cheap thief.”“Don't tell me that after all these, Jasmine is a broad-day thief.”“Huh!”Everyone gasped in shock, with their jaws almost reaching the ground.Mrs. Leah quickly picked up the necklace from the floor.“Isn't this my necklace? Jasmine, do you have anything to say now?”Adding more salt to the injury.I couldn't express the mixture of shock, pain, and anxiety I felt inside.But to think of it.‘When did she put it in?’I thought out loud as I was convinced that was what must have happened, as there was no way I would have picked what doesn't belong to me in the first place.Mrs. Leah can do anything or go the extra mile; I know that.I ignored everyone’s daring eyes that was all sent my way and maintained a fixed eye cont

    Luciano’s POVI think this is the best time to help introduce Jasmine to the people like she had wanted to.Hopefully, there is no better time to do that aside now.“The photos are real.” I broke the silence that seemed to have enveloped the hall. “I have a relationship with Jasmine.” I said and slightly pulled Jasmine to my side, away from Ethan.That got a mixed visage amongst everyone present, but it all entailed two things, which were disappointment and shock.I got that, as I could have reacted the same way if it were me, but at least I wasn't done with what I was saying.But you know, people are too fast to judge, and I had to clear the air.But I needed to get the reaction of Bella and her mom, Mrs. Leah, and not far-fetched like I had envisaged, they smirked happily.I understand that visage, in their mind, at least their claims of me having an affair with Jasmine have been proved by me.“What did you say?”Ethan wasn't left out, as he was taken unaware too.I wasn't expecting

    Ethan's POV“Daddy, I would like to introduce someone special to me.This is my boyfriend, Ethan Archer.”Jasmine said, pointing at me."Does this mean you left home because of this guy?"Mr. Jordan senior addressed, and I could tell from his tone of voice that I wasn't up to the class worth Jasmine leaving home.I understand that they belong to the top A list in the city, but then I wasn't some poor guy.My family is among the top B-class in the city just like that of the Scott family, though some levels above us.To me and many others, that's a big deal.It's fine; probably Jasmine had said some ill things about how I had treated her a few times, and that's understandable anyway.But at least, I don't deserve to be addressed in such a manner, if I am to be honest because I try my best to treat her right.I had felt like walking away as usual when I felt tense, but at this point I can't even walk away as that would be disrespectful for the fact that Mr. Jordan was still there.“Dad!

    Jasmine's POV“Is this your answer about me?Am I so easy to bully?You know what? Now I understand that I have been played by you all along.”Ethan asked with both fists clenched.I couldn't place the exact dot of his anger, or was he just trying to vent his anger in any available means?I wouldn't know exactly but this is the only thing that could justify his action if there is anything justifiable for his anger.I know I didn't do anything wrong by introducing him to my Mr. Jordan.I only did that to make him know that I have him at heart, but I think he got it all wrong.To think that Mr. Jordan wasn't helpful with the question he asked why I had to leave home because of him.I think it was beginning to make some sense at this point why he was angry.You know that feeling of expectancy when one has defended you instead of criticizing publicly and then gets such a comment from Mr. Jordan, my ‘supposed’ foster father. But then I know Mr. Jordan meant no harm, just that his tone of

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

    Chapter 109. Jasmine’s POV I watched as Ethan gave up the ghost. 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

  • Dear ex-husband, you will regret this   Chapter 105. SO, IT'S YOU TWO AGAIN?!

    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.

    Jasmine’s POV I had gone to pay another homage to my dad's tomb.At least I have accomplished a greater part, if not all, of the revenge I had promised him to get.At least Mrs. Leah, Bella, and Mr. Williams are all behind the bar now.The good thing was that the company is already doing better after like a month and half that I got in position and very soon, it would soar as high as it used to.“Dad, did you see all of that?I have avenged you.All these villains are getting what they deserve.The plan went smoothly, but you know it's impossible for me and Ethan to be together again, even though I still feel something for him.”As you know, Ethan and I are still like cats and rats who wouldn't see each other in broad daylight, but then it's not in my power to do anything about that.It's just the bitter truth he needs to face.Luciano has been so helpful in every single way I needed his help and had tried so much to respect my feelings too.Just then, I stood up to leave, but I noti

    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
