"We can just get back together, okay?" Blake said before cupping Yasmin's face and giving her a deep kiss. "I said no…" Yasmin's voice choked up with tears. "Let go of me, Blake Ford. I don't consent to this." She started sobbing again.Blake froze when he heard her cries. Then, he held her and softly said, "We're not getting divorced anymore.""No!" Yasmin cried and stomped her foot. "You promised.""Not anymore," Blake said, his face devoid of emotions. "I'm not going to let you sleep around with other men.""I don't care!" Yasmin adamantly retorted. Blake stared at her distressed expression and said, "This is not up for negotiation. You can test me if you think your family or Ivan Burke can stand up to me."Then, he released Yasmin and arrogantly added, "I'll be coming to Newphoria Bay to pick you up tomorrow." With that, Blake walked away.Meanwhile, Yasmin bit her lip as tears streamed down her face.She knew that Blake was a man who needed to have his way with things
Yasmin studied her father's face before reminding him, "Make sure to see a doctor if you feel unwell, alright?""Got it." Stuart noticed Yasmin's red eyes and held her chilly hands. "Why are your hands so cold? Your eyes are red too. What happened?"Upon hearing this, Yasmin felt herself tearing up again. Sniffling, she turned her head away and said, "I'm fine.""What do you mean? You've even been crying. Come on, tell me what happened." Stuart gently pulled her back. She uttered, "Dad, Blake refuses to divorce.""What?""He told me that he's coming to pick me up tomorrow. He doesn't want to get divorced anymore," Yasmin said, her voice shaking as she teared up. "Who does he think he is?" Stuart stared at his daughter, anger filling his eyes. "Yaz, let me know what you think of this. Do you still want to be with him?"Yasmin shook her head. "No, Dad."Stuart nodded and wiped her tears with a piece of tissue. "Go upstairs and have some rest first. I'll talk to him. How dare
The next day, Blake arrived at Newphoria Bay as promised. He stepped out of his car in a black suit as the sunset illuminated his handsome face. Then, he slowly entered the villa. He was expecting to be met with Stuart's fury and Yasmin's tears. However, he was wrong. Stuart was away, and Yasmin was eating in the dining room alone.Despite Blake's light steps, his dominating air could be felt as he walked into the dining room. "Where's your dad?" he asked. He had planned to talk to Stuart about the divorce. Blake was willing to hand Stuart another project or invest some money in Starr Corporation's projects as long as he agreed to take back his decision on the divorce."He went to visit my grandmother. She hasn't been doing well lately," Yasmin simply replied. Blake was baffled at her sudden obedience. It was the complete opposite of her attitude the day before.Then, he sat in the chair in front of Yasmin and pulled her into his arms. He looked into her eyes and asked,
"I'd rather be with you," Blake said with a smile. "Let's chat.""About what?""The police have taken away the model who ruined your designs yesterday.""Okay." Yasmin nodded. He continued, "From today onward, Protean no longer exists."As Yasmin had expected, Blake had gotten rid of that company. Yasmin didn't know how to respond, so she nodded again. "Okay.""Aren't you going to thank me?" Blake grabbed Yasmin's waist to pull her closer and forced her to look at him. Yasmin's body stiffened, but she dared not push Blake away. So, she forced herself to meet his eyes and softly said, "Thank you."Blake then tapped his left cheek. "I want it here." He was clearly asking for a kiss. But Yasmin was unable to bring herself to do it. Instead, she stared at him with conflicting emotions. "We just made up. I'm not used to being so intimate with you.""Then you'll have to get used to it." Blake then cupped Yasmin's face and planted his lips on hers.Yasmin's body was taut with
"What? You're coming again tomorrow?" Yasmin was surprised.Blake nodded. "Of course. Now that we've made up, I need to keep an eye on you so someone else doesn't steal you away."Yasmin forced a smile. Although she was nodding on the outside, she was actually very reluctant to see Blake again.Soon, Blake left, and Yasmin returned to the villa and quietly sat on the sofa. She was lost in thought.When Stuart returned home at night, she asked, "How's Grandma?""Same old, same old. Her blood pressure and blood sugar still aren't under control, so she'll need to be sent to a nursing home," Stuart answered.Yasmin sighed.Suddenly, she heard Stuart say, "I was on the phone with Ivan this afternoon. It turns out that he's been sent to Rimmervale."Yasmin was surprised. "Was it because of Blake?""Yeah."Yasmin felt a pang of guilt. She knew that it was probably her fault Ivan was sent there."I told him of our plans to move to Merania, and he was very supportive of it. He even s
"Then when will you forgive me?" Blake hugged Yasmin as if he was pleading with her. Yasmin moved back slightly and said, "You need to court me first. I'll forgive you once I'm satisfied with your improvements.""Alright." Blake then wrapped himself around Yasmin like a giant dog. His breath fell on her ear as he whispered, "Let's go on a date after you finish work."A mix of emotions whirred inside Yasmin. "Where do you want to go?" she asked."Let's go for dinner before watching a movie. I'm up to anything as long as we're together.""Then wait until I finish work," Yasmin said.With that, Blake obediently let her go. Yasmin's heart was pounding. However, she suppressed her discomfort and left Blake's embrace to sit back down on her chair. Meanwhile, Blake sat on the chair opposite her and beamed at her as though she were his treasure.Upon seeing this, Yasmin started to feel uneasy. Even since they'd brought up divorce for the second time, Blake had been acting clingie
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Blake went to sit beside Yasmin and wrapped his arms around her.Yasmin's heart skipped a beat as she felt his hands rest on her belly, and she could feel her throat tightening from nervousness.Then, in the next second, Blake gently rubbed her stomach and softly asked, "Does it still hurt?"Yasmin stayed still for a moment before shaking her head. "No. I just feel bloated.""It has to be because of how irregularly you eat your meals. I've told you before that your health isn't the best, so you should eat all three meals on time." Although Blake was scolding her, he didn't seem mad at her at all. Meanwhile, Yasmin stiffly sat in his arms with her back against his chest. She felt uncomfortable with the way his arms were circling her waist."I'm hungry," she said, trying to wriggle out of his arms.However, Blake didn't let her go. Instead, he pressed his warm chest against her back. It stirred Yasmin's emotions even more, and she was starting
With his rock-solid abs, Blake's sensual figure was on full display, and Yasmin's eyes looked everywhere but him. A man's body was just as tempting to a woman as a woman's was to a man's, and Yasmin could lose her mind if she wasn't careful. Yasmin slowly made her way toward Blake and heard him chuckling. "Why aren't you looking at me? Are you shy?" He lifted her chin playfully. Yasmin forced a smile. "Yeah.""Don't be. It's not anything you haven't seen before." Blake smiled and led her to the pools. However, Yasmin didn't enter the water and simply sat by the edge, dipping her feet. Meanwhile, Blake sat inside the pool and stared at her with an intense gaze, his eyes filled with temptation. If this were in the past, Yasmin would've already lunged toward him in such a situation. Now, however, Yasmin was busy struggling to keep her feelings for him in check.So, she turned away and looked at the distant mountains instead.But suddenly, Yasmin felt a hand grabbing her ank
