Irene* Heading to Jason's house after trying to reach Jasmine severally over the phone was the craziest decision to take but I still had to. The cab driver stopped just opposite his gate and I came down, paid up, and, took agile steps toward the gate. Soon, his security asked me a lot of questions as though it was their first time seeing me there. "We are ordered to search you," An average man said making toward me. "If you dare to touch me..." The look on my face caused him to halt. "Mr. Jason asked us to search you and welcome you in if we must or send you away if you resist." "He said that? How could he? Am I an enemy now?" "He didn't call you an enemy, we are just being careful and alert. He received a threatening letter this morning." "So, does that mean that I delivered the letter?" "You could, if his manager can plot evil, no one should be trusted." A man in uniform said walking away from us. "Don't let her in if she remains adamant." He finished. "Fine, search me bu
Jason*"I was equally astonished when Lilian mentioned it to me." Stanley said while getting up from his seat. "I should get to Lilian, sir."He said without waiting for my response. I myself was dumbfounded.I was feeling stupid before these men upon hearing that Jayden was planning to be married with Jasmine.Could she have accepted him? What if he had already engaged her?These thoughts kept going in and out of my mind as we walked toward the Chopper."Where are we going now, sir?""Melbourne, Jayden's house."Upon reaching his gate, we met with his gatekeeper who was about to close for the day.How possible? "Why are you closing now?""Mr. Jayden left with his girlfriend,"I got that, the word girlfriend rang in my mind repeatedly."Who is his girlfriend?""I'm sorry, sir, I can't start giving out such details." He said and continued packing again."How long are they staying away?" Oscar asked."He didn't say how long, but I'm sure he won't be back this week or next.""What the f
Jasmine*I picked up the letter that was delivered to me and showed it to them."This seal belongs to umm..." Jason pretended not to know since he didn't want to make me to get a clue of what he felt could be dangerous."I know who sent this, can we have a brief talk inside?"I turned to look inside the house and back to him before nodding at him."Guys, wait in the Chopper. We will meet you there."We? Him and who? Was he planning to take me with him?As soon as he got into the house, he lowered his body to the ground, yes, he knelt down."I don't deserve your forgiveness, Jasmine." He took my hands. "I have messed up but I beg you, don't marry him.""Marry who?""Jayden, I heard about it."I threw my face to the window as I had nothing to say to him. Also, I didn't want to get tempted to touch him in certain places.I was surprised that I could still pretend as though I didn't miss him, his touches, the way he does it and make me moan my throat out."Get up," I said looking down at
Jasmine*"You are taking her to nowhere, the wedding will not hold unless I'm dead before then." Jason said standing up, his eyes had changed, he was actually controlling himself from jumping on Jayden for even thinking that he could be my husband."We shall see. Meanwhile, you are invited to our wedding ceremony.""I want to take Jasmine away, you can't protect her enough."He laughed and clapped his both hands for Jason. "You have spoken so well but she will not come with you.""Alright, let's do this. Call her out, who she chooses to follow, wins and the other backs off forever.""Deal," Jayden agreed.Oh my God, who do I follow? This was more than being at a crossroad because in a crossroad there were four options but here was just two."Jasmine," Jayden started by calling me out. "Jasmine,"I'm glad he wasn't calling me any pet name, that would have been another different issue entirely.With a slow pace, I made toward the sitting room, my heart pounding in quick motions.Who wa
Stanley spoke briefly with Lilian's caretaker before giving her and the baby a kiss. Afterward, he got into the car and sped toward Broken Hill.Today was going to be a very busy day because Jason's birthday was approaching.He had refused to fly to Miami because of Jasmine's refusal to join him.He chosed to stay back because he didn't trust Jayden enough to entrust Jasmine in his care.Not that he feared that he might hurt her but that his enemies could snatch her from his hands so in that case, his availability mattered.He believed he had to be around before he could feel that Jasmine was safe.It marveled him how the woman he loved was in the house of another man if not in his arms tooWas he not man enough to take up his responsibilities? Again, Oscar and Lisa were sent away to fetch goodies for his birthday.As always, a lot of dignitaries would be hosted on his estate during his big day. His friends and enemies were also expected to show up but for the latter, he has a train
Jayden*After I'd carried out an operation on my patient, and successfully delivered her of her little one, a certain amount of money was transferred into my account.I made a quick transfer of a part of it to Jasmine since I knew I had to get to a few places inside town before heading home and it would be a little late by then.She called to thank me for the money and urged me to come home early enough so we could set out for the beach with Cynthia in the cool of the evening.Pleasing Jasmine had always been my priority but what if I wasn't doing enough?What was I not doing right? There got to be something I must do that would make her love me even more.All these thoughts kept rushing in and out of my mind and I didn't notice that my break had failed and directly opposite me was an incoming truck containing drums of oil.****Jasmine*"Cynthia take the phone!"I shouted to Cynthia who was taking her oatmeal."But I'm eating, it's bad manners to...""Shh... Enough, I will take the p
"Isn't it taking too long?" Jasmine queried."I will check it out,"When she walked out, his eyes were opened."Jay,""Jasmine," He said breathing with difficulty."Why did you do this to yourself?""Failed breee... ak, dar... Ling." He continued struggling to breathe."Oxygen!"Jasmine ran out only to meet the doctor, the nurse, and Jason rallying around Hart's mother."But he's your son?""Of course, he is.""But his blood didn't match with yours, I don't find the connection. How do we save him now?" The doctor queried in fear.It proved how much he feared losing a patient that he could have saved because of such little issue as blood donation.Jasmine wasn't surprised, she just had to save Jayden first so she dragged the doctor out."If I lose him, if I let him die I'll be a bad friend. He's been through a lot for me, take my blood for the test but don't tell him."She was talking about Jason now and the doctor didn't seem to understand until she explained things to him."We don't
Jason*"You should have compassion on my mother, I listened to her confession, she was made to do what she did."A lady said to me in a feeble voice, the lady was Ariella. Though it was difficult to recognize her because her entire body was covered with black spots, she was emaciating too."What happened to you?""How do you mean?""You are ill, aren't you taking medications?""How I appear shouldn't matter to you, I came here for Maria, your so-called best staff that works painstakingly to ensure that the company is running smoothly.""Is it by duping me in the process? You know what? I really got no issues with your people but I need two things. One, my money, two, Rosella's fiancé's name."I adjusted my tie, "If you can provide these two things, then there's no problem. And by the way, how did you find me here?""You talk as though your location can be hidden, once you are out of your house, everyone is watching you except something else came up."Jason rolled her eyes at her and
Just like every other woman, I also fell in love because I needed to feel what others felt too.I may be pretentious when it comes to revealing my emotions but why would I begin to expose such delicate pieces of information to a man? Nay, I can't. It's quite difficult and unnecessary.I'm secretive, yes, I am and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Jayden was a good man who didn't deserve to die. After going miles for me? He deserved to survive and watch me pay back his every coin though he didn't do it for a pay.You see Jason? He is every woman's dream man and I loved the billionaire since the day we met. When at Caravan Park, our eyes got locked in a stare and I found it difficult to pull away. Yes, that was where the magic happened! It was how I realized that I was never getting away from him.It was either he casted a spell on me or the reverse was the case because we watched each other's faces like umm... Never mind, we watched just as humans that we are.He looked like a rare Mr. Perf
Gerald*His guards were useless or maybe he had asked them to remain calm. They stood with their useless guns pointed at me.Was that to scare me off?I wonder why he didn't tell them that he had joined an agency of The brotherhood at Highschool and it made him a part of us.He used to be our armourer and he had the potential of splitting a man up into two halves simply with his bare hands but he was under restraint.Sadly, he began to embrace civility after he graduated from Highschool. We lost him and we missed him but today was no day for mercy.A treasonist did not need to go scot-free. "You want to fight me as an equal?" I asked him upon seeing that he still got the trait of a fighter in him. "These few years you have not trained, you stopped at level five are you sure you want to do this?"He nodded at me and I gave him a grin. "I'm without my war robes, so, discard yours if you are in," He threatened me."Jason?""Gerald, it's me daring you now." His eyes were bloodshot.I tu
Jason* "I will take care of the baby, don't think of getting rid of it. I will nurture him or her as my own child, it's the best way to apologize right?" She ran toward me and hugged me tightly. "Thank you so much, I love you." A gunshot went into the air twice or was it in the air? C'ause immediately after it was a shout and men running helter-skelter for help. I perceived danger. The hotel was under an attack, my enemies had finally had their way into my personal lodge. I went out of the toilet to see what exactly was going on and then I spotted my worst enemy, he had just engaged in a fist exchange with the Chief Security Officer and overthrew him. Wait did he just overthrow him? Then we were so so dead! What? I screamed in despair upon remembering that Oscar had taken off with Lisa as soon as they got the message I sent to them. He was my most trusted guard, now I was defenseless but I knew I must protect Jasmine. I returned to the bed to meet a worried pretty lady stari
Jason*My mother-in-law, Mrs. Smith kept compelling us over the phone to pay her a visit because she had prepared something very beautiful for us."Something beautiful? My stepmom prepared something beautiful? That woman is another person we must avoid," My wife said to me."She was so penitent, my love and I believe that she's being real."My wife let out an outburst of laughter and shook her head, "I hope you didn't give her any information of our whereabouts?""I didn't, we just got talking recently.""You gave her your number?" She popped out her eyes in fear. "No, I didn't. I wonder how she got it." I said as I began to search my phone. "Here's her digits, see if you can recognize the number," I asked putting the phone across to her."Sadly, I have never stored her codes in my phone and I would never do such."I chuckled and we got seated around the dining table. "I planned on sending Oscar and Lisa away to be alone at least for a week and afterward pay them off if they want to
"You will be fine, my love. Just follow the case carefully, work with the cops, they will refund all your money.""They definitely will, if his heart is hardened toward his twin brother, the brother he lived with for good eight months in his mother's womb, then I will make him regret his existence. Have I told you how tough I can be?""You show that to me every time during coitus but hey, did you say eight months?"Jason burst out laughing on hearing her first statement."I'm glad I married you, you are just amazing. Yes, eight months only, we were in an incubator for a while.""Woah. That's alright. Concerning the eatery you erected in my name, what happens to my position at The Bang and Cum Industry?""You can do both things at the same time, you have got gifted hands my love. I can't shut you out of the Bang and Cum Industry because you now own an eatery, come on.""So, you mean I won both places?""Definitely,"""You are my savior thank you for saving me." "You are my savior too,
The priest beckoned on a boy who stood beside an amplifier to bring the tray that contained the golden rings.The little boy smiled at the priest and took swift steps toward him."Do you, Jason..., take Jasmine to be your lawfully wedded wife, promising to stick by her in good and bad times, to guide and protect, for better or worse, in wealth and in penury, in sickness and in health, as long as you both live and till death do you part?""I do," Jason responded with a nod even when the priest was still talking lest someone shouted a counter reply from the crowd, he knew his enemies were also in attendance.The priest nodded at him before turning to Jasmine, "Do you, Jasmine..., take Jason to be your lawfully wedded husband, promising to stick by him in good and bad times, to guide and protect, for better or worse, in wealth and in penury, in sickness and in health, as long as you both live and till death do you part?""I do," She responded with a smile that was only visible to her bec
Jasmine*"I didn't love Jayden," I paused and rubbed my lips, I lied. I did love him but I loved Jason more. See the difference? "I dated Hart, life happens. Why?""It's just that umm... You know I kind of had a rethink about the sequence,""Fuck you! You ain't dying, I wasn't just meant to be with them, I just needed to come back to the right person. I feel so.""If I'm the right, then I consider myself lucky." He turned and smiled, captivating smile."What can I do prove my love to you?""Simple, love me and no one else, I mean no other man. I need your love, Jasmine.""My love is enough to spare. So, tell me, am I not permitted to love my own son?""Our son, why should you not?" We laughed and he held me closer. "No one else can tell how happy you make me, I'm lucky, I'm very lucky to own you again. I told you we were meant for each other.""I knew that too, the thoughts that we will be wedded in two days is still a surprise to me, I'm very anxious.""Not as anxious as I am," We sm
Jasmine*I would not have heard him because I was lost looking at his body, he was so muscular in appearance. I managed to shift my eyes away from him."I don't need a big wedding, I only need love on my wedding day. A few guests will be invited and not the whole world and note, Nicole must not be invited. She must not be there.""Why do you hate her so much?""Just like you hated Jayden?""Oh, don't talk about the dead, let the dead sleep and let the living talk about themselves.""You know what, all these stories about ghosts I don't believe in their existence and as such, I have got no business with a dead person getting angry that we are bothering him, that's absurd." I told him.Jason laughed, "But from where did you get that orientation? Cause I don't believe in it either though most people do. I'm just advising you to umm... Not mention him here, let's just do our own business and let him out of it.""Nicole should not be at the wedding, that's final. You think she is happy to
Jasmine*"Yes, Mrs. Jasmine. Ariella was reportedly dead and on confirmation by the doctor this morning, we learned that she is truly dead. She died of AIDS."Sonia said yet again."Oh my God, from where did she pick that up?""From her uncle, she has been dating her late uncle who was infected without her knowledge.""He must have done that intentionally,""That is what we assume,""What did my fiancé say about this?""He said nothing, he doesn't even want to hear about the details,"Fiona came around my office later in the day, her excitement on seeing me was getting me emotional."I told you about this, I feel so happy for you my Dear.""I'm surprised just like you are, I never thought he would forgive me.""I knew he would, he just needed to clear his head and think straight. You actually broke his heart, you know.""No, he broke mine,""No, I insist, you broke the gentleman's heart by running away with his first set of quadruplets, do you want to know how much he bragged about hi
