I shook my head , “if you come here and expect me to tell you that yeah I am going back to London and vice versa. Well , so sorry to disappoint you but I really am not going abck there sooner or later. About her having a boyfriend again , I do not care at all. She can do what she want. Including going out on a date.” I said.She shook her head , “ I know you are only denying it and pretending like you did not care.” She said,I shrugged my shoulder as I walked to the sofa and sat down. “I have my own matter why I am here and I am still working on my company too here. Opening new branches , I have lots to handle nowadays. And I am just not wanting to think about winning a woman back or stuff.” I said. “if she is happy with him then I am too. after all we just did not belong to each other. And I have accept the fact. So now as what she does, I also need to continue my life. And my life is this , my company, business and work.” I finished my sentences.She shook her head as she sat down
“Emily I am so sorry ,b-but I can I can not take it anymore.” I said as I sobbed, if only I did not let him had his misunderstanding for so long. “I am going to cut the call off Emily..” I said as I am still sobbing.“hey, Madalynne , are you OK? Do you want me to come over to your place?” she asked me.“n-no.. no need Emily. I just need to calm myself down a bit. I will call you again when I am a bit calmer. Talk to you later, Emily.” I said as I did not wait for her to answer me and just cut off the call right away.Right after the line is being cut off, I threw my phone away and slide down , hugged my knees and cried. I can not hold it back anymore.. If only I did not make him grew his misunderstanding more. If only I acted a bit more like an adult and did not gave him back the ring, we maybe still together by now..**EmilyRight after Madalynne cut off her call I decided to call Joseph.“Emily why did you call me in such an early morning? It is only 4 AM here.” He answered.“Mad
**JosephAfter Emily cut off the call I fell back asleep and just woke up 5 hours later. I sat on my bed as I took my phone from the bedside table and checking on it. I just actually do not understand why all people are trying to meddling in with my business. Not to say my personal relationship. I do not think that any of them have a say in who I should date and why I should not break up.I shook my head. Thinking how eager and how her face looked like when she gave me back the ring. Yeah it still bothers me that much, the thought that she was easily gave it back. And for that thing , I can not forgive her, I know that I love her still and I might run back to her anytime. But now I can not lie as a man , and as a Joseph Fransisco , My ego is actually hurt by the way she was treating me. I have become a whole lot softer to her than with anybody. But that does not mean she could do just as how she wants to me.I let her choose which publisher she wanted to sign with. And she even decli
I smiled hearing her answer , “That is totally ok, I can wait for you, Madalynne. If I can love you in silence, and saw you being with anothe man, waiting you will not be that hard for me. I will be waiting for you, take your time, but please, do not avoid seeing me. I want to be there for you. Anytime. Anytime you feel like you need someone to hear you out or maybe just a shoulder for you to count on, I am only one call away , Madalynne. You can believe me on that.” I said and finished it with a smile.I looked at him and smile, as I can feel myself started to tear up, but I tried to blink my eyes a few times to prevent the tears to fall from my eyes. “Thank you, Myles.” I said softly. “it means a lot to me.” I said.He smiled and tapped on my shoulder. “I know that it might be hard for you, it was not just a relationship that ended but also your engagement.” He said.I nodded my head heard what he just said. “it was my fault. I should had explained it to him instead of kicking him
Once I walked in to my parents’ home , I saw my mum was sitting in the family room with my dad.“Hey, Mum, Dad,” I greet them.A smile rose from my mom’s face, “Joseph! How are you?” she asked me. I noddded my head and hugged her, once I pulled away from her, I walked up to my dad and hug him too. “How are you, Dad?” I said once we pulled away.“I have been good, your mom has been missing you a lot. You do not allow her to visit you.” My dad said. I laughed as my mum slapped my hand slowly. “It just I have been quite busy with work there. So I just have no time for that. But see, I am back now.” I said.My mum nodded her head, “I thought it might take you a few years to come back.” She joked.I laughed along with my dad. “No, I just need to settle the company there, and once I am done and feel that the new company can stand on their own, then I am free to come back to London.” I explained to my parents. They nodded their head, “So , how is it going there then?” my dad asked.I nodded
Once I saw that Jasmine is sitting alone, I walked up to her, just as I touched her arms, I heard somebody is calling me, ”Joseph..”Jasmine is already standing beside me as my hand went tp her waist. “And who is this?” she asked me.I looked at Madalynne, “babe, this is Madalynne.” I introduced them. “Madalynne this is Jasmine.” I continuedJasmine looked a bit shock realizing what I had just said. But she looked relax after, “Oh hello, Madalynne.” She said as she put her hand out for a handshake. Madalynne soon took her hand hand for a handshake.“Nice to meet you.” Jasmine said, I smiled clearly happy with how she acts.Madalynne nodded her head before turned to look at me, with lots of question in her eyes, then I heard Jasmine chuckled, “Wow, you are rude, you do not even say a word out to me.” Jasmine said.Madalynne sighed, “Oh yea, Hello Jasmine. I am Madalynne.” Madalynne said.***Jasmine’s POVI looked at the woman in front of me, she is pretty. But I just need to do my jo
Joseph’s POVAs I hold Jasmine’s hand in mine, I brought her to our table, once we reached there, I saw that my parents, Emily, Aaron and both of their kids are also there. “hello,” I said.“Uncle Jo!” “Uncle Jo!” both my nephew and niece exclaimed happily.I smiled as I brought Jasmine to both of them kids, “Hello, Niles, Noella..” I greet them.Niles smiled at me, as Noella come to hug my leg. “here, Uncle Jo, want you both to meet Aunty Jasmine..” I said as now Jasmine also knelt down to Noella and said hi to her.“Aunty Jasmine! You sound just like princess’ name.” Noella said. I chuckled. “Don’t you think that Aunty Jasmine also looks like princess?” I asked Noella, as Jasmine slapped my hand slowly, I chuckled.Then I saw Niles also stood up, and put out his hand for a handshake, “Hello to you too, Aunty. I am Niles,” Niles said. “You must be Uncle Jo’s new girlfriend?” Niles asked. Jasmine smiled at him, “Hello, Niles. Nice to meet you ..” Jasmine said as she stood up and shook
Jasmine’s POVI woke up to the the sun light that crept up to my room, just as I was about to turn to my right, I touched someone’s body, I quickly look at who is beside me, Joseph Fransisco. I shook my head, as I quickly look at my body underneath the blanket. My eyes widened, as I slowly slapped my forehead.“hey, you up so early.” The hoarseness of his morning voice, “Joseph Fransisco...” I said slowly.He turned to look at me as he brought my body closer to his, “Yes, Jasmine?” he answered.My breathe got hitched, “what did we do last night?” I asked already knowing the answer, he chuckled, “Do you really wanted me to explain it or just do it again?” he said, I slapped his hand. “I am not joking, Joseph..” I said.“we had sex,” he said.I slapped my forehead, “let’s pretend like it never happens.” I said, he raised his eyebrow at me, “why?” he asked.I looked at him, “this is not on our agreement.” I said. “so what? who cares?” Joseph said.“I care, Joseph. I care about it. I do
“are you breaking up with me?” I asked her.She shook her head in reply to me , “I am not asking for a break up , I just wanted us to think again , is this what we really wanted or not.. and until then let’s not contact eachother again. I am giving you time to think again. I can not lie what you said today has really hurt me. And I tried my best to not bring this up again , but you also once went on a blind date, and you asked me to forgive you for the thing that you know you did it intentionally. And I did forgive you. But , when the incident happen on me, unintentionally, you burst out like that. I can not lie, it scares me. It made me doubt again.” She mumbled slowly.I laughed in replied to her, I can tell that now dissapointment is written clearly in my face, “Bullshit! You are just putting words in to my mouth now. For something I knew you were wrong in. You also know that you are at fault but you are ignorant as fuck. Is this separate time that you want , then that is what

Madalynne shook her head, “You do not trust me even a bit, did you?” she asked. “You are lying to me because of him, how should I react? And you still try to deny it.” Joseph replied back.“If you can not trust me on this then how would our married be like later? If on this small incident make you doubt me this much, then how are you going to make us work?” she asked back.I closed my eyes, as I tried my best to stand up and walked away from them. Clearly not wanting to hear any of their quarell anymore.**MadalynneI looked at Joseph in front of me, “If you can not trust me on this then how would our married be like later? If on this small incident make you doubt me this much, then how are you going to make us work?” I asked him as tears streamed down my eyes.“what is the point of you asking me to marry you? If only by this small obstacle already made you doubt me a lot? Hell , you even asked him did he fuck me? Am I really that low kind of woman? That even made my own boyfriend, m
*** MylesI woke up as I feel the sun shine through my eyes, who the hell did not close the curtain. I thought to myself. As I sat up and about to close the curtain, I realize. I shook my head a bit as I look around me. “where am I?” I asked myself, as a short of flashback hit my head about what happened last night. I slowly slapped my head. You are so dumb , Myles. Now , how are you going to face her after this whole drama you just made for yourself? I thought to myself.As I started to pick my things up, I heard a door was opened. I turned to see right behind me, there Madalynne is , “oh , you are finally awake.” She said as I saw there were a glass of milk , “Here drink the milk, heard that was ok for the hangover.” She said as she handed the milk to me. I took it and drank it slowly. She just stood there and looked at me. Once I finished, I looked at her and said, “I am so sorry for the drama I caused you last night.” I mumbled slowly as I bowed my head. “it was so childish of m
“See.. how is your next fashion show preparation has been going so far?” he asked me.I nodded my head, “We are still preparing the sketch, and stuff. Should be done by next month, then I can finally set the date for the fashion show. Is Jasmine’s Cycle Textile still going to be one of the sponsor?” I asked him.He nodded his head, “Of course, she is so happy to be working with you, I have given you her contact person right? You can just ask your people to contact them for the cooperation and stuff.” He told me.I nodded my head, “Yeah, my secretary has confirm it too with her assistant, so if that is not the problem that you want to talk about, then what is it?” I asked him again.He sighed, “All the time that I went away after my messy break up with Madalynne, did you ever heard something fishy from her? Or have you ever listened about something bad that people said about it?” I asked her.I shook my head, “I really not into the social media much, but I do not think that Madalynne
“Hello, John, please look for me all of the information of Jasmine Peters. I want all of the complete’s information at least tomorrow morning.” I said. As he said yes I cut off the call.I do not know what is actually happened between her and her family. But I am pretty sure it is bad. She has been breaking down every now and then.I am going to find out about it and I will try my best to help you solve it, Jasmine.. I thought to myself as I started to drive away.***I woke up around 6 as I soon hit the gym in my home as I also listening to music. Just when I am done, I was about to go and wash up but my phone rang, I saw the called ID stated that it is John, I soon took off the earphone and answer the phone, “Yes, John.” I said.“Good morning Mr. Joseph. I have found all of the information regarding miss Jasmine Peters, do you want to me send all files to you and explain about it to you by phone or?” he asked,I nodded my head, “erm, I will see you in my office in an hour.” I said
“No, I do not think now is the right time for me to tell her, I do not want her to hate me. I can not tell her yet. Not right now, at least.” I said.He shook his head, “this going to eat you alive, how long are you planning to keep it from her?” Sergio asked.I shook my head, “I know and I understand what do you meant. But I should take my time first before that. I will definitely tell her about this.” I said. He nodded his head,. “good for you bro.” He said.“so what actually made you changed your mind?” Sergio asked me again. I just shrugged my shoulder, “some thing just felt click, and it all feels so right with her. I mean I might be not in love yet with her, but I really am planning to, I want to be person who she feels that she can count on and the person who she feels safe to be with.” I said.***Jasmine’s POVI walked in to my dad’s house. “Hello, Dad.” I said as I saw that he is in the living room.He coughed a bit, “you are here early.” He said. I nodded my head, “yeah, wh
“I do not think that I deserve him. he came from a decent family. His mum already think that I was with him because of the company and that I got the deal becoz I dated him.” I told her.“and that stopped you?” she asked,. I shook my head, “you still do not understand? Look where he he came from, now you look where I came from..” I said.She sighed, “Jasmine, look.. that can not always stop you from live your life.” Lilibeth said. I shrugged my shoulder. Clearly do not want to discuss this anymore.***A week passed so fast that now I am getting ready for work again. In a week that I took day off, Lilibeth has always been by my side. Also last night Joseph called and told me that he will fetch me to work today, which is I agreed with.After lots of discussion with Lilibeth, I finally realized that I should live my life too at some points. My childhood trauma of how my dad and my mum ended up together can not haunt me forever. And I think maybe I should give Joseph a chance. Just as I
“Okay okay, I was wrong, Ok, I am so sorry. I did not mean any of that.” I said. I saw that Jasmine is still does not care at all, then I sighed and turned to Lilibeth, I know what Jasmine meant, she wanted me to apologize to her bestfriend too. “I am also so sorry Lilibeth.” I said.Then I saw her bestfriend nodded her head, “Yeah, apology accepted. But still I will not let you date my bestfriend.” She said. “now, please excuse us, we wanted to get in to the house.” She said.I sighed, “Can we just stop the drama? Jasmine, I just wanted to talk to you.” I said.***Jasmine’s POV“Can we just stop the drama, Jasmine? I just wanted to talk to you.” I heard Joseph said. Before I sighed, and let Lilibeth get in first.“yes, what do you want to talk about now?” I asked him once we were left only the two of us.He sighed, and went to hug me, “I just missed you.” He said, and I can feel my heartbeat race up. He sounded so pure. Just like he did not make it up. Like it was from his heart.I
