★★★ As they made their way to the photo session area, Ian glanced at Jasmine, curiosity evident in his eyes. "What kind of argument did you get into with Cindy that she’s ready to start a war in the middle of the room?" Ian asked. He had been looking for the new female lead since the morning. Last night, he had been informed that the previous female lead had been replaced. He was quite excited to find out why until he heard that the new female lead had been suspiciously interrogated by Cindy. Jasmine sighed. "I can't really tell you everything, but I will say that I didn’t intend to argue with her. No wise person would willingly get into a confrontation with someone as powerful as Cindy. Perhaps the previous lead actress is a good friend of hers, and my taking over the role is something she wasn’t ready to accept." Ian was surprised by Jasmine's calm demeanor. He had expected her to complain or display anger. "You’re handling this well," he said, impressed. "Most people would be fu
★★★★Damon drove the car to the studio and made a surprising entry. The crew and everyone present there were stunned to see Damon Colley. The rushing staff suddenly halted in their tracks and instinctively made way for Damon as he strode purposefully toward his destination."I can only wonder whose bad fortune is about to begin," a man whispered under his breath, standing next to a female staff member."I think it’s because of the chaos his girlfriend caused in the studio, and then Ian intervened," the female staffer suggested as the reason for Damon Colley's unexpected arrival."But Ian is his brother. Even if there was a confrontation, the Boss wouldn’t be foolish enough to bring it into the studio. Maybe there's another reason for his arrival," the man speculated. The woman sighed and added, "As long as we don't incur his wrath, I’m fine with anything.""Hmm..."Meanwhile, Damon headed directly to the shooting set, where he found Jasmine in Ian’s arms. They were in the middle of a
"I don't know what's happening with this Flim," the cameraman muttered with a sigh. "Earlier, Maria was the actress, then she got replaced by this new girl. But now it seems like her time is about to end too." His words hit Ian hard. If he couldn't make his brother understand, then the innocent girl would be thrown out of the film. Determined to help, he hurried out of the room to follow them. However, Damon and Jasmine were no longer in sight. "What? Where did they go?" Ian exclaimed in frustration. Meanwhile, Damon and Jasmine had moved to a private chamber in the studio. It was a small room, with walls painted grey and numerous awards lining the shelves. But Jasmine was in no mood to admire the studio's achievements. Damon closed the door behind them and turned to face Jasmine. "Tell me exactly what happened with Cindy," he demanded. Jasmine took a deep breath, "Oh! This is what you are here for. Stopping the shooting to confirm the matter that took place between me and your s
Before she could grab the glass, Damon seized her arm and swung her around to face him. "I will," he insisted, his eyes dark with determination. "As long as you are mine, people will have to think twice before eyeing you. When Ian was holding you like that, I felt a strong, stabbing jealousy. You can't even begin to imagine the lengths I would go to if anyone dare to bring thoughts about you." Jasmine met his gaze, unyielding. "You can't control everyone, Damon. You need to understand that. The way you are showing your possessiveness makes me think you have grown feelings for me," Jasmine said, looking into Damon's eyes as they kept confusing her. "One day I will fall in love with someone else, or maybe I will get married to him. Be careful with your feelings because jealousy sometimes burns the person alive," Jasmine spat, her voice sharp. She did not what her future held, but she would like to have her own family. "Haha! Marriage and love," Damon chuckled darkly. "Such sweet dr
★★★★As Damon closed the door on Ian’s leave, Jasmine questioned, "If she is not Dante's mother, nor is she married to you, how does she hold such strong power in the business?" "You’re taking an interest in my life—something I really like," Damon said with a sly smile."I am not. I’m just curious how I can snatch some of your property and business from you like she did," Jasmine spat, rolling her eyes as she crossed her legs."Haha! You’re so straightforward about money, I like it," Damon replied, staring at her red nose and then her lips. She had such sweet, exquisite features that people couldn't help but feel protective toward her.Jasmine huffed, clearly unimpressed by his charm. "Stop deflecting. Answer the question." "My grandfather adopted her when she was just 10 years old from an orphanage. He decided that Cindy should be his granddaughter and arranged my marriage with her," Damon explained."What? Shouldn't she be your sister then?" Jasmine spat, her face contorting with
★★★★When Damon emerged from the studio, his anger only intensified upon realizing Jasmine was nowhere in sight. He jumped into his car and started driving, his irritation mounting with each passing second. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted her walking briskly along the footpath.Damon slowed the car and rolled down the window, shouting, "Get in the car, Jasmine!"Jasmine shot him a furious glance but kept walking. "I told you not to hurt him, Damon. You almost killed that man!"Damon clenched the steering wheel, his frustration bubbling over. He braked hard, jumped out of the car, and sprinted to catch up with her. "Jasmine, I lost control. I didn't mean to scare you," he said, matching her pace."Go away!" she snapped, not breaking her stride."Stop!" Damon moved in front of her, forcing her to halt. "I admitted I made a mistake. But it’s just—""I said leave me alone!" Jasmine shouted, shoving him hard. But Damon seized the moment, pulling her into a tight embrace."If
Warning: This story contains numerous steamy scenes. ***** "Dad, please I'm begging you to stop being so cruel toward my mother. She will die if the therapy is not started soon," Jasmine begged, kneeling on the chilly marble floor. Despite her efforts to conceal her tears, her watery face revealed the intense feelings she was experiencing as a result of her father's carelessness. Ever since Ronald fell in love with Kesha, Jasmine's mother became a constant source of annoyance for him. However, he found himself unable to evict her from the house due to the property she owned, which was now under his ownership. "Well, this is your mother's faith, which I believe God bestowed to her because he, too, believes she is useless. I am not going to spend a penny on her. If you want to live with us, I need you to treat that woman the way I do. She might be your mother, but trust me, she's a snake. You know nothing about her," Ronald stated as he lay on the couch, watching TV. At that moment,
****"Jasmine, I know it's tough, but crying won't change things," the woman said softly, setting down a steaming cup of tea in front of Jasmine, who remained huddled by the window, tears streaming down her face.Jasmine's voice cracked with anguish as she bared her soul to Nadia. "I... I can't see a way out, Nadia," she whispered, her words weighted with despair. "I don't own anything valuable to sell, and even if I land a job in some corporate office, it won't come close to covering my mother's treatment. I'm just so exhausted," she admitted."I wish I could offer you a solution, Jasmine. Even if I could get you a job at my office, it wouldn't be enough to cover your mother's treatment," she said softly, her hand resting tenderly on Jasmine's shoulder, offering what comfort she could. "And I... I don't have any savings to help you out either," Nadia confessed, her own heart heavy with helplessness."It's alright, Nadia. I appreciate your willingness to help, especially when my own f
