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
