"No-No... Please..." A woman lying on the operating table begged the man standing next to another table while preparing the surgical tools but the man seems to hear nothing! The woman tried to move but she can't for her hands and feet were tied up tightly. "P-Please, have mercy, don't do this, please..." the woman continued to beg as tears roll down from the corners of her eyes. "I have a child, and she's still young, I am the only family she had..." the woman said, still in a pleading voice. "My client tried to ask you in a nice way but you refused," the man said. He was wearing a hairnet, surgical mask, surgical gloves, and green clothes, just like what doctors wear whenever they do a surgery. "I'm sorry...Please let me go, I can't do this. I am afraid of the outcome if I continue with this," the woman replied in tears. All she has in mind right now is her daughter! She knew she must be waiting for her to come home right now. She can
"What were you thinking, Officer Jones?!" "Why did you attack and arrest an innocent man?!" Jasmine just lowered her head as she accept the scolding from her senior officer, Mr. Adolfo Cua. She was inside his office and was currently being questioned by him as to how she did such a bad job on arresting the wrong person and even beating him up! "I'm sorry, sir," it was the only word that Jasmine was able to say. It still won't help if she reasons for herself anyway! "I'm sorry?!" Senior Officer Cua repeated, " Do you even know who that man is?" he continued. "No, sir," Jasmine answered honestly, still lowering her head. She couldn't look at him because she knew she was at fault. She only arrested an innocent person and worst...She even beat him up! Senior Officer Cua got up from his seat violently, " What?! You don't know him?!" he blurted out in disbelief. Jasmine really doesn't have any idea who that man was! All she t
Jasmine stood in front of the ten-story building. She is now outside the Wellness International Pharma to see Colton Olivares and try to convince him to take back the complaint against her. She wasn't sure if she could succeed but she will still try. This is the last option she has. Senior Officer Cua was right. She couldn't fight back against Colton Olivares if he decides to use his influence to make her get dismissed from service. This world is about money after all! Jasmine walks to the entrance and was stopped by the guard, " Good morning, ma'am, may I see your identification card, please?" the guard asked politely. Jasmine stopped in her track and she looked at the guard, " Oh, yes!" she said as she opened her sling bag and took her ID. '"Why are you here for, ma'am?" the guard asked after he checks her ID. "I came to see, Mr. Olivares," Jasmine replied. "Do you have an appointment with him, ma'am?" the guard asked again.
"Marry me then," Jasmine's mind went blank when she heard Colton's response. She even thought that she just misheard it! "W-What did you just say?" she asked in confusion. "I said, marry me and I will take back my complaint against you," Colton replied. Jasmine was silent for a moment. She's having a hard time processing Colton's words to her mind. "Mr. Olivares..." Jasmine spoke, still in confusion, " You know what you're talking about, don't you?" she asked. Making sure that Colton was not just simply babbling things. "Of course, Ms. Jones," Colton replied confidently. "You must be just trying to make a joke, don't you?" Jasmine asked again. "Do I look like I am joking, Officer Jones?" Colton asked back as he stared at Jasmine. He can see the confusion on her face. She must be questioning herself as to why would he want to marry her. "Did the impact of plunging to the ground affected your brain, Mr. Olivares?"
Jasmine lay in her bed while in a daze. She agreed to marry Colton because of her desire to continue in service until she catch the culprit behind her mother's death. She lost her pride when it comes to her mother. She doesn't know why Colton wants to marry her, perhaps he just wants to take revenge on her for mistakenly arresting him and beating him up. Isn't it too shallow to do such a thing? Perhaps, he has another reason, she may not know what it is but she was certain it wasn't because of love. Colton is not the type of person who knows how to love. He only loves himself. Jasmine just close her eyes to sleep. Whatever happened today, she prayed that in the morning when she wakes up, everything is just a dream. ------- The next morning, Jasmine talks to Dina and Ed Ocampo, the childless couple who took her in fifteen years ago, when she has nowhere to go after running away from the Olivares family. They love her as their own and sh
"What?!" Jasmine blurted out again when she heard Colton saying that they should live on the same roof starting today. "Where have you seen a married couple living separately?" Colton questioned Jasmine. "And what if I refuse to live with you?" Jasmine asked with a sullen expression. "Then, I will consider this marriage null," Colton replied without hesitation. 'Null?!' Jasmine repeated inside, "Does that mean that you won't take back the case against me?" she asked impatiently. "Yes!" Colton instantly replied. Jasmine closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath to calm herself as she felt her anger starting to rise again. 'This man does really take no for an answer!' she mumbled inside. It took a few seconds before she opened her eyes again, " Alright," she said as she lifted her hands as if she had surrendered, " You won again," she said, " I will move to your place, I just have to take my things and bring them to your pla
"You pervert!" Jasmine reacted with her sharp gaze as her face turned red. She didn't know if it was due to anger or due to embarrassment at Colton's words!She couldn't imagine herself lying next to him, naked!Colton grinned as he saw how Jasmine's face turned red in anger!"If you don't like the idea of sleeping naked next to me, then, I guess you don't have a choice but to wear one of those," he said as he pointed to the dresses inside the wardrobe."I won't wear any of those dresses nor lie next to you naked!" Jasmine strongly said."Don't tell me, you're going to sleep in the same clothes you wear for the entire day?" Colton said with a disgusted expression."Of course not!" Jasmine instantly replied.Colton's knitted brows got even deeper, " What will you wear then?" he asked out of curiosity."Show me your wardrobe," Jasmine commanded Colton.Colton just shrugged his shoulders and followed what Jasmine said. He w
Colton could smell the flowery scent of Jasmine as he rested his chin on her shoulder. He suddenly had the urge to sniff her neck and kiss it, but he tried to control himself.'Ugh! You're walking into the lion's den, Colton!''Do you want to do it on your own again?!'Colton could feel the heat of his body rising again, so, he decided to move away from Jasmine before he could lose his self-restraint.Funny how he wanted to pester her again, but yet, he was the one who lost it!How come this woman could bring such a sensation to him?It's not like he was a pervert!He is not!He is even choosy about the women he brings to bed, but Jasmine was different!She makes him hard effortlessly!"Alright, let's just order take-out food," Colton said as he straightened his body and walked away from Jasmine.Jasmine felt relieved somehow when Colton moved away from her."Do you only eat fruits and vegetables?" J
"Ouch!" Jasmine complained when Colton grabbed the wounded part of her arm! Colton froze when he realized that something is wrong with Jasmine's arm. "What---" his next words were stuck in his throat when he saw the bandage with a trace of blood on Jasmine's arm. He looked at her with his wondering expression and ask, " What is this?" Jasmine pulled back her arm and answered, " It's just a small wound, it's nothing serious," she said. She was about to turn again but Colton grab her other arm to stop her from leaving. "This is not just nothing," he said, " How did you get that wound?" he asked with a hint of concern in his voice. "Someone caused a ruckus outside the precinct and I tried to stop her, but she was still able to cut my arm with the broken bottle," Jasmine explained. "What?!" Colton's voice raised, " A broken bottle?" he repeated, " Did you go to the hospital to treat this?" he asked in concern. "No, I didn't" Jasmine replied honestly. "Are crazy?!" Colton's voice r
Jasmine is peacefully reviewing some old unsolved cases of the kidnapped children when they hear a ruckus outside the station. "What's that?" Jasmine turned her head to her fellow officer, Sandra, and asked with her knitted brows. "I don't know," Sandra replied, she's also wondering what's going on outside the station. *PLACK!* Sandra and Jasmine looked at each other when they heard a shattering of glass as if someone has smashed it outside and followed by the voices of the other officers who are trying to rebuke the person Jasmine and Sandra hurriedly run outside to check the situation and they were both stunned to see a middle-aged woman holding a broken bottle and aiming the sharp part at the police officers who are trying to stop her! *Gasp!* Sandra gasped as she saw the woman, " Isn't that the mother of the missing teenage girl, Lala Montilde?!" she exclaimed. Jasmine looked at the woman and Sandra was right! It was Mrs. Montilde, the mother of a mentally disabled teenage
The next morning...Jasmine is half awake and she feels something heavy in her chest which makes her hard to breathe. She slowly opened her eyes but was met with the room's dim light. She can still feel the heaviness in her chest which made her look at it and her brows automatically knitted when she saw an arm. Judging by the arm's size, she can tell that it was a man's arm!Jasmine slowly turned her head to her left side, and she saw Colton, peacefully sleeping with his arm on her chest.A smile automatically showed on her face seeing her husband's handsome face while sleeping.'What an imagination!' she said inside, thinking it was just an imagination lying beside Colton.She also dreamed of having a steamy night with him!Jasmine moved to tilt her body but she froze when she feel the pain in her entire body, particularly, the part in between her legs!Jasmine's eyes slowly went wide open when she realized something!*Gasp!*
Jasmine didn't know when or how, but the next thing she knew is she was already lying on the bed!She knew what could possibly happen, but she doesn't have the desire to stop this!Her heart and mind liked what Colton is doing to her right now!He was kissing her lips while his hand is conquering every inch of her body.She can feel him unhooking her brassiere but she did not stop him. The next thing she felt is, his palm touching her chest and gently squeezing her breasts which sends a tickling sensation and pleasure to her, and she couldn't help but let out a moan."Hmmm..."Colton freed Jasmine's lips. Jasmine thought that Colton would stop there, but no, he didn't!He lowered his kisses instead, to her chin, down to her neck. She has goosebumps when he bit her earlobe before lowering his kiss to her shoulder.Colton took off her clothes, exposing her naked breast."They're beautiful..." Colton whispered to Jasmine as
Jasmine changed her shoes into slippers before waking in the living room and turning on the light but she was startled and almost jump in fright when someone suddenly spoke!"You're home,""Ah~!" Jasmine screamed when she heard someone suddenly speak!"Do I look scary for you to be startled like that?" Colton, who is sitting on the sofa asked with his cold expression as he turned his head to Jasmine."Why the hell would you seat in there with the lights off?!" Jasmine questioned Colton as she put her palm on her right chest to calm herself. She can feel her heart thumping so hard!" I did not expect you to be in there, I thought no one is home yet!" she explained."Whatever," Colton said indifferently, " Have you had dinner yet?" he asked after a while."No, not yet," Jasmine replied."Go and wash up, I'll have the dinner ready," Colton said before he got up from his seat and headed to the kitchen, still in his cold expression.
Jasmine doesn't want to start another fight with Colton, so, she let him drive her to work."Just drop me off there," Jasmine pointed to the spot that is a few meters from the precinct."Why there?" Colton asked, " I can drop you off in front of the precinct," he said."There's no need," Jasmine refused. She prefers to get off in an uncrowded space. Getting off in a luxurious car would surely cause questions to the other officers and she doesn't want that to happen. They will only question her and it might lead to being exposed that she got married while in suspension--- To the person who caused her suspension to be exact!Colton pulled over to the spot to which Jasmine pointed, " Be careful with your work," he said before Jasmine gets off the car."Ennn..." Jasmine just nodded her head as a response. She then opened the door and get off the car.Just as she closed the door, a motorbike stopped and park in the available space near Jasmine.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Jasmine covered her mouth with her palm and pretend to be surprised! "I must have mistaken the salt for sugar!" she said, " My bad, I'm sorry about that," she said even though she doesn't sound sorry at all! "You!" Maddy pointed her finger at Jasmine in anger! She bulged her eyes in ager as she gritted her teeth. She was like an angry dragon who would blaze fire at any moment! "Colton, are you not going to do something about this?!" Maddy turned to Colton, hoping he would take her side and scold Jasmine and fire her. "What can we do about it?" Colton said, unbothered by the two bickering women," It was not her intention to put salt in your coffee," he continued, " And besides, she already apologized," he added which surprised Maddy! Colton is taking sides with Jasmine! The thing has also surprised Jasmine! Jasmine looked at Colton in surprise. She did not expect him to take her side. But still, it wasn'
Colton just revealed a smile to Maddy, " Oh, no worries," he said."Why won't we have a seat and have a cup of coffee?" he suggested."Oh, sure!" Maddy excitedly replied. She did not come here just to say thank you to Colton. It was just here alibi to see him!Colton and Maddy sat on the sofa and Jasmine felt like she was left out." Did you hear your boss right?" Maddy turned her head to Jasmine."What?" Jasmine blurts out."He invited me to have a cup of coffee," Maddy said with a hint of irritation on her face, " As his assistant, you should have the initiative to make us a cup of coffee," she added which made Jasmine raised her brows.'This demanding brat!' Jasmine mumbled inside."Oh, no, there's no need," Colton interrupted Maddy, "Jasmine, have a seat," he said to Jasmine, " I will make the coffee," he added and was about to get up from his seat when Maddy interrupted him." She's your employee," Maddy said, "Why
It was already dark when Jasmine came back to the condominium. Her thoughts were still in her conversation with Lani. She wonders why Lani looked so frightened when she talks about her mother's death.She wants to help her, but how could she do that if Lani herself doesn't want to bring justice to her mother's death?" Lani, I am a police officer and I could help you investigate your mother's death," Jasmine said to Lani, " You can trust me with this," she added, but Lani shook her head, indicating for refusal."There's no need, Jas," she said, " Please, don't insist on investigating this one. You don't know what kind of people are behind my mother's death. I would rather keep quiet for me and my son's safety," she added with a trace of fear in her eyes."O-Okay," Jasmine did not insist anymore. She saw the fear in Lani's eyes. She was not afraid for herself, but for her son's safety." But you can always count on me
