Chapter 30: Sleep On It

2024-10-29 19:42:56Jasmine's POV
The weekend went by quietly because Mom had given me a cold shoulder. I thought she would have had a change of heart and appreciate Bradley for what he did, but I was wrong.
I took my frustration with me to work on Monday. A look of gloom was on my face for the entire morning while I carried out my tasks.
"Jasmine," a voice said behind me. He approached my desk and looked at my face, arching his eyebrows with concern and curiosity. "What's the matter?" he asked.
"I don't know," I answered, replacing my unpleasant expression with a fake smile.
But he was Evan Hollen and nothing got passed Evan Hollen. He saw right through my pretense.
"Tell me what's wrong with you."
"What makes you think something is wrong with me?" I asked.
"Because I know you and sadness is written all over your face."
I smiled.
"Maybe what I have to tell you will actually turn around your mood for the better."<

Jasmine's POVI changed into a pair of black jeans, a white T-shirt and a pair of flat sandals I brought along with me. I gathered my notepads, pens, pencils and stuck them into my large folder. I took my purse and room key. I shut the door behind me and made my way downstairs to the lobby where Evan was waiting so we could get to the meeting.His rental car was parked outside the entrance. The ride to the meeting was silent. He didn't say a word and neither did I.We arrived at a three storied building complex. A large black gate automatically opened as our car approached. He drove up to the parking lot area and parked. He held a large brown envelope in his hand as he got out. I followed suit, without a word. Two could definitely play this game."Ah, you've made it!" a voice belonging to a very beautiful woman said with enthusiasm as she came up and shook hands with him."And good morning to you. You must be Miss Blackman, yes? I'm Mr

Jasmine's POVI rolled out of bed, eyes on his sleeping figure as I tiptoed to the bathroom. I took another shower, changed my clothes, and sat down on the bed afterwards, reading through a recent gossip magazine.He stirred. "Hey," his voice croaked out."Hi," I answered him.He sat up in bed, scrunching his eyes from the rays of the sun coming through the glass door of the balcony. "What time is it?" he asked."Four thirty""Ughh! Get dressed, baby. I'm taking you out to get something to eat," he offered as he got out of bed. He put his T-shirt and pants on and kissed my forehead before he left the room.I quickly went over to the tiny suitcase I came with, looking for something sexy and tempting to wear. I had just had steaming hot sex with this man and I wasn't about to bore him away from me anytime soon. My hands found a tight red dress with spaghetti traps and a low neck line which showed just enough cleavage. I

Jasmine's POV"How was your trip?" Zenia asked as soon as I came through the door.It had been a few weeks since my trip with Evan to the Bahamas. Once we got back he jumped right back into work. The day we got back he had a meeting to attend and had one of his personal drivers take me home.With my work schedule, and Zenia's new work schedule, I hadn't had time to relay anything to her. We were always crossing paths but had not real time to talk."It was lovely," I answered, my mind reminiscing back to the heated sex I had with my boss. My body placed close to his. His tongue traveling to the sensitive part of my neck and my skin raising with goosebumps. He was quite the accomplished lover."You know you're smiling, right?" Zenia said, folding her arms as she smirked."Where's Mom?" I asked, changing the subject."Mom found a job.""WHAT?!""Mom... found... a... job," she repeated slower.

Jasmine's POV"Can we please have this to go? I'm not feeling so good suddenly," I lied."What's wrong, sweetie?" Concern in his voice as his eyebrows creased on his forehead."I think I might be coming down with the cold or something. Can we just go, like, right now?""Sure. Lets get you home."Shooting up from my seat, I took the lead and walked out the cafe easily and unseen.___________"You can't be serious! You're doing exactly what I told you not to do," Zenia grilled me like I was the younger one. I had told her what transpired at the cafe. "You're just lucky he hadn't seen you. You're playing with fire and you're going to get burned if you don't settle those flames. Just make up your mind and stop playing games with those two men."It's either you forgive Bradley completely and accept him back in your life, or just tell Evan everything and he could give you back the money to refund Bradley, sin

Jasmine's POVIt was quiet all around me as I was engulfed, alone, in his comfortable bed. One word described my mood. Happiness."Evan," I said, softly, climbing out of the bed and looking around the bedroom.My instincts took me through a door in front of me. I walked along an aisle then pushed through a pair of double doors. I peered over banisters and saw maids and a security guard moving about. I went back into the bedroom for my cellphone."Hey baby," I heard his voice behind me and I was instantly pulled against his powerful chest. "You're finally up," he whispered in my ear."Uh huh," I let out through a breath that had already been taken away.This man would be the death of me."I have to ask you about something and I'm only going to ask you this once," he said, turning me around so I was facing him. The seriousness in his eyes made my heart skip a beat or two from fear. "Are you and Bradl

Jasmine's POV"Jasmine. JASMINE!" I heard my mother's voice calling me. The covers were yanked off from over me and I felt the coldness of the room."Uuugghh!" I growled like a tiger."Jasmine. Get up, baby. You have to go to work. It's Monday and it's already 7:30 am.""I'm not going into work today Mamma," I said, sitting up and rubbing my eyes from the sleep still in them."Why? Do you have another day off?"I hadn't told my mom nor my sister about the stupid shit I did at the gala yet."Mom, I quit my job," I cut to the chase. She was bound to find out sooner or later, since I was now a person of interest to the press."You did WHAT?" The last word rung out like a loud bell in my head.I shielded myself with one of my bed pillows. "I quit my job.""And why the hell would you do something so damn stupid?"She was mad. "Hell" and "damn" were her way of cussing ou

Jasmine's POVI had a terrible headache for the remainder of the weekend. I spent days in my bedroom wrapped up beneath my covers, concealing myself from the world. I had zero interest in speaking to anyone and zero appetite to eat daily meals.On Monday, my mother let herself into my room, determined to get me on my feet."Jasmine, please get up and get yourself together," she advised."Nooo," my voice broke just like my heart already had."Jasmine. Your life isn't over. You hiding in your room won't fix your mistakes. What you need to do is go back to Hollen Tower and apologize to your boss. If he loves you, or had any feelings for you, he just might forgive you and take you back. But you can't hide here and expect him to come to you when you're the one who walked away. Get up now, Jasmine."She literally pulled me off the bed. I had no choice but to gather myself together."What time is it?" I asked her

Evan's POVEmily became my preacher, Zack was my therapist and EJ acted as a guidance counselor. All three of them together stopped me from finding Bradley and tearing him apart with my bare hands.Seeing Jasmine only channeled my anger more. I wasn't expecting to see her back so soon, but she should consider herself lucky that I was in a better state of mind.I had never laid hands a woman, nor will I ever even think about doing such a cowardly act, but I wanted to see her hurt, like the way she hurt me and embarrassed me at my gala. Hopefully, the rose made such statement.I had been the topic of gossip since that time, which was something I tried to avoid or have at a low."Billionaire had his job handed back to him.""Billionaire's assistant assisted millionaire at his Gala.""Billionaire versus millionaire over an assistant."I was tired of hearing it all.Truth be told, I missed Jasmine and it had

Three weeks laterJasmine's POVEvan and I had been lying in bed when an idea crossed my mind. I had realized that there were so such to him that I didn't know about as yet and so many unanswered questions.I gently tugged on his shoulder and he turned towards me with a smiling face and messy hair."Can't sleep?" he asked."Can I ask you something?" I asked, ignoring his question."Sure, what is it?""Why do you give women white roses when you're through with them?"He chuckled and ran his hands over his face."When I was a little boy, I used to go to my great grandmother's house a lot before she passed. Right before she got sick, she started planting a garden of white roses, and I assisted her sometimes. Right before the very first blossom of the roses, she passed. She never got the chance to see her white garden, and I took it very hard. So, I use white roses to tell women goodbye, and that they're dead to me."I was shoc

Evan's POV"Son, we cannot seem to get an exact location on Jasmine. We tried tracking her cellphone, but we lost the connection," my father explained on the other end of the phone.I was already settled in my private jet, EJ next to me.Zenia! I thought and dialed her number."Hello?""Zen. It's Evan. I need Jasmine's exact address.""I can't provide you with such.""Zenia, please! I need to get to your sister as soon as possible!" I begged."I swore to secrecy. I'll be betraying Jasmine if I tell you."I knew, at this point, she wasn't going to give me the address unless I did something I never enjoyed doing. Bribery."Zen, if you do this for me, I'll give you the capital to start your own clothing line and boutique, and that's a promise."There was a long pause on her end, which was a good sign because I knew she was considering my proposal.

IMPERFECT Assistant Chapter 60: Where It Hurts
Evan's POV"I'm going upstairs to get Aria," I told my mother."I'll be waiting right here," Mom replied before sitting on the couch I had slept on for the night.I climbed the stairs while my head floated to another dimension. My memories were only of putting Jasmine and Jevan out the house. The way she cried and pleaded to me. The way she looked at me when she tore up the check. The way Jevan looked at me when he was out the door in his mother's arms. The way her last words hurt me: "Go to hell Evan Hollen."It was haunting and it was painful. My heart squeezed against my chest as if it wanted to break free. I couldn't handle all of the heaviness. I needed to fix this and fast."Aria, we have to leave right now," I said as I entered the bedroom.She was sitting at the dressing table applying her makeup and already dressed."What's going on?""Mom is downstairs. She did a DNA test and the results stated t
IMPERFECT Assistant Chapter 59: Moving On
Jasmine's POVEmma and I sat down on the patio while Zenia was inside with Jevan."Jasmine, I need you to be very honest with me. I'm not here to judge you or yell at you and belittle you. I'm here for the truth. Can someone else be the father of baby Jevan?"I shook my head no."Could Bradley Pittsburg have drugged you and had sex with you without your permission and knowledge?""No, Emma!" I snapped at her but quickly regretted it. "It never got to a stage where anything like that could have happened. I know what I did at the gala was messed up, and I know why Evan had doubts in the beginning, but I never slept with Bradley, or anyone else for that matter. I was always conscious when I was with Bradley, and never once had he forced himself onto me. We never even kissed. It was just a friendly get together whenever we got together and nothing more."I was reaching a point where I couldn't stand this anymore. Ev

I had just put Jevan down for his nap and I was singing sweetly to him. I kissed his little cheek and went to find Evan.A large brown envelope was thrown at me when I approached him in the living room."Who else you slept with, huh? YOU LYING, CHEATING BITCH!" he blasted out at me.I stood there, dumbstruck by his sudden behavior and tone of voice."What are you talking about?""You're going play dumb now? You're gonna stand your ass there and pretend you don't know what the hell I'm talking about?!""Evan! I don't know what the hell you're talking about!"
IMPERFECT Assistant Chapter 57: And The DNA Test Says
Evan's POVHe had my grey eyes, my hair texture and color, and my complexion when I was newly born. Mom took countless pictures of when Emily and I were babies, and Jevan resembled me. I had no doubt in my mind; he was absolutely my son.Jasmine had been discharged the following day after she had given birth. I took her and the baby back home. I knew I said that, when the baby came, Jasmine would have to find somewhere to stay, but Jevan was too young to be outdoors so soon, and the police detectives still hadn't found out who attacked her during the early stage of the pregnancy. All of that just made me unsettled to have Jevan out there.I had already bought everything a baby needs: from cribs and countless pieces of clothes, to newborn baby formula. She had everything she needed for Jevan, and she wasn't to worry about a thing.I watched him as he slept so peacefully in the crib. Mom, Dad, EJ, Emily, Susan and Zenia met us at the hospital

He said he wanted his son to be apart of the wedding.I'd learned to accept his engagement and decided to move on with my life once the baby arrived. Evan promised to get a place for us and put money into an account for me until I could get back on my feet and find myself another job.

You told me you were on the pill, and I still used protection with you most of the time.""I know that Evan. But accidents do happen."Lord, give me strength."You're mad, aren't you?" She looked like she was about to tear up."No. I just wasn't expecting this. Have you taken a pregnancy test? Have you been to the doctor?""No and no. I've just been throwing up a lot this morning and not feeling like myself.""Okay. Lets go." I took my jacket off the back of the chair, took my car keys and guided her out the office.I decided to bring her to Dr. Matador. He was an excellent OBGYN and didn't leak any information to the press for a quick buck. My parents trusted him and so did I."Hello, Mr. Hollen. What can I do for you today?
