"I loved you, Arun. I did, so very much. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I did agree to. I walked down the altar with you. I took the vows, I fucking took the vows because of you!!"

"I never asked you to do that for me Jasmine. You did it on your accord. Don't try to pin the blame on me."

"Don't fucking tell me that!! don't fucking tell me that!!" She screamed on top of her lungs, much that the other prisoners in the other ward across hers began to look at her with quizzing eyes.

"You know how I hate being abandoned. You know how I hate the feeling. I never agreed to fall in love before because if it. I hated love. My thoughts were always pretty much the same. what if you left me, what if we got separated by death early in life . I'm so used to the feelings of being abandoned, don't fucking tell me that you're doing so. Don't tell me this divorce papers are real. I trust you, please"

Her voice came very low and slowly, almost as if she were pleading with a killer for her life, in between sobs and tears, her eyes covered and clogged by the reality that she was living, the divorce papers he had handed over to her still in her hands, held disbelievingly.

"I'm sorry Jasmine. I did try to love you. I tried everything to but my heart never belonged to you in the first place. You were just a shadow. I came to you so I could be closer to her. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I never intended it to."

He replied her with an indignant voice, lacking emotions even though he seemingly was apologizing to her.

"I loved you Arun!!! you did love me too. I know right. You still do, somewhere in your heart, we just need time to find it. Don't fucking give me that about my sister. You got over her ages ago. You yourself told me that. We just need time, after you get me out of prison........" she wanted to say but got cut short when his voice came up.

"Again Jasmine, I'm very sorry. You are not my type. you never were. I thought I did love you but along the way, i realized that we were two parallel lines, and parallel lines have no meeting point. I'm genuinely sorry if I made you believe I ever did in those fleeting months of our marriage" he simply put and began to walk away

Jasmine didn't want to take the questioning about his feelings for her up any further, there was no time, he was leaving and the police lady she heard her footsteps coming signified one thing to her, the time for her court hearing was almost near.

Wiping away her tears with the back of her hand, she held the reeds of the barricade that separated her and the cell she was in from the freedom her husband was currently enjoying, the freedom that was supposed to be for her.

"Arun" she called out and he abruptly came to a halt, standing without turning to face her, to hear what she had to say last before he took his final walk out of her life.

"You'll still get me out right? the divorce means nothing to our agreement. We made a deal, it still stands regardless right?" she mustered up courage and asked him.

He stood back for a few minutes and in those few minutes, she strained her ear to get an answer from him, the assurance she currently craved.

"Today is our wedding anniversary, Jasmine Jaiswal. This is my anniversary gift to you, please do accept it by giving your signature" he muttered and began to leave.

It was as if her world came to a halt. as if she was dreaming and yet to awake from her deep slumber.

No, it couldn't be.

He had promised her forever, she had done so too.

She had agreed to be the cause and reason for his happiness, the replacement that would love him so well and make him forget the heartbreak he had encountered in the hands of her sister, the shoulder he ran to whenever he had issues, the shoulders always there to comfort and hold him.

He couldn't do that to her. No he couldn't, no matter how evil his heart was, he just couldn't do that to her.

"Are you abandoning me?" she asked finally, breaking the mast that seemed to form at her lips, preventing her from asking the very question she most dreaded.

"Are you divorcing me for her?" she added, not waiting for him to answer the first question she had put forward.

"Did you play me, knowing fully well that we would end up like this?" her voice came again but this time not without the tears that had welled up in her eyes again.

"were my just........" she continued but her voice trailed off.

"Jasmine Jaiswal. I am very sorry" he said and began to walk out finally. Away from her, the prison, and away from her life........

It's still felt like a surprise to Jasmine. It couldn't be happening, even if it was to, why her of all people. Why did the universe seem to be so against her.

From being born as the illegitimate daughter to a father that cares less or more for his "image dent" to growing up in a family where she was most bullied by her step brother, his sister and their mother.

Arun had been the answers to her prayers. Her nights of tears asking God for a miracle in her life, a change, a love affair. He came into her world like a hero and she couldn't help but adore and fall for him. That had been her sin. Loving him had been a sin.

Was this what was in it all for her?

"Inmate 226, it's time for your hearing" a voice came out from the other end of the room and a police woman came to open up the door of the cell she was in.

At first she conceived thoughts of running away. It wouldn't hurt to kick the woman that was putting on the handcuffs on her hands. She might get injured or so but she didn't mind, she just wanted to run after Arun, watch him and hold him, to make him say what he did earlier to her while staring at her right back in the eyes.

That would be hard for him to. He just can't forget the love they once shared and right now, he might just be fumbling in what decision to make, considering her arrest and the number of charges.

He would get her out and they would continue their shot at forever. The divorce papers he gave her which she had earlier on refused signing were a joke, his apology to her question about their deal a joke too, and also his confession of love for her sister who cheated on him in the past,a blatant joke as well.

Everything he said a few minutes ago were all jokes.

He was a kind person. Even if he did act nonchalant towards her and her feelings before, he wouldn't be that mean as he can't hurt a fly. He would be back before she knew it.

He would be back, she kept on believing and hoping, just like she had done while waiting for her unrequited love during those years of her marriage. He would come back to her.

"They're all jokes right?" she asked no one in particular and next she began to laugh hysterically.

At herself for the illusion she was still trying so hard to believe. At everything she had predicted happening coming to pass. At all the thoughts she had termed pessimistic before becoming her reality.

Jasmine continued to laugh but in the next minute, it struck her.

He didn't lie about a thing. his voice had been obsolete. He was really ditching her, he was leaving her for the woman of his dreams after she had helped him realize a huge fortune, even taking the fall for it in his place.

She had been ditched, used and tossed to the corner. She was now utterly useless and has to spend the rest of the years of her prime in jail for a crime she didn't commit but took the fall for because of love, a love that has turned cold and had been an illusion of what is.

No, she wouldn't let it go. Time won't be able to heal her like people will say, only vengeance would. She needed to exert vengeance. She so fucking needed to.

As the realization of the whole event began to simmer in her, she found herself loosing her balance and fell awfully still, to the cold floor which seemed to hold the promise to the forever she had so much desired to have with him....

    Jasmine's eyes opened and the sharp scent of antiseptic filled her nostrils. She didn't need anyone to tell her that she was in a hospital, the chains that binded her hands and legs to the bed were enough indication. "Jasmineeeee!!!!" She heard her name and she slowly turned to the entrance. The voice was unmistakenly familiar, the only voice that could offer her comfort amidst the turmoil within her soul. It was Mia, her best friend since childhood. They had carried their friendship to their adult ages after the death of their mother's, the tears in her eyes made a tear fall from hers as well. But Mia was not allowed in the ward she was in, so she stood at the entrance. Jasmine already knew why. She has fainted the time of her hearing and had been rushed to the hospital. Say, anytime soon, she would be discharged on the doctor's word and that would be it for her. Her judgement would be pronounced and she would rot in jail for years for a crime her husband, or should she say ex

    The judge, a stern-looking woman with silver hair and piercing blue eyes, adjusted her glasses and looked down at Jasmine from the bench. She shuffled the papers in front of her before clearing her throat.Jasmine stood in the center of the courtroom, her hands trembling slightly as she clutched the sides of the wooden podium. The room was silent, save for the soft rustling of papers and the occasional murmur from the gallery. She glanced briefly at her lawyer, who gave her a nod, though his eyes betrayed a deep concern.She knew there was nothing he could do for her anymore, the false witnesses that had come in to testify against her with planted evidences already made it hard for it to. "Jasmine Jaiswal Ruge," the judge began, her voice echoing through the courtroom. "You stand before this court having been found guilty of multiple counts of insider trading and embezzlement. These are serious crimes that have caused significant financial harm and have undermined public trust in ou

    "What do you mean you're bringing your illegitimate daughter to the house? You can't try that Jaiswal!! She's your shame and is supposed to be hidden!! She's an embarrassment not just to you but I as well" the woman said with a very calm but skeptical tone, trying well to mask the tears that wanted to blur her sight. " Never did I tell you any of that, I don't know where you heard it from but wherever it was you did, don't say that again!! Jasmin is coming to live with us. She's intelligent and a daughter anyone could ever ask for!!Her results are clean unlike your children's, I've already made the choice and she's coming to stay!

    Mia stared at herself in the cracked mirror of the hotel room, her eyes red from crying. The room was dimly lit which made it cast eerie shadows on the wallpaper and the expensive pent up chandeliers. She clutched a crumpled poster advertising a high-paying "escort" service against her chest with her hands trembling. It had come to this—a decision she never imagined she would make, driven by grief, anger, and the crippling weight of poverty.The news of Jasmine’s death had shattered her. She was and had been more than just a friend; she was the sister Mia never had, the one person who had always believed in her, even when Mia herself had lost hope. Now, Jasmine was gone, reduced to ashes in a tragic bus explosion. And Mia was alone, drowning in her sorrow and regrets, unable to shake the guilt of not being able to save her, from her jerk of an ex husband nor from the bus explosion. Desperation had led her here to this hotel to do something she had sworn she would never do. Her mind

    The sky was a bleak and heavy with the promise of rain that seemed to mirror the sorrow weighing on Mia’s heart. The quiet and somber cemetery held a sense of finality that pressed down on her with every step. Jasmine Jaiswal’s grave stood stark and solitary, marked by a simple headstone that read: "Beloved wife, daughter and sister, may you find peace in the afterlife."* Yet, there was no peace here, not in this place and definitely not in Mia’s heart. A jar of ashes had been released to her family, her step mother and it was said,by the police to contain the remains of what was believed to be her body after the explosion. Poor Jasmine. Mia knelt before the grave with her knees sinking into the damp earth as she clutched a single white rose in her trembling hand. The petals were already starting to wilt from the time she kept them, much like the hope that had drained from her life since Jasmine’s death. Her fingers hovered over the headstone tracing the letters of Jasmine’s

    This couldn't be the house of the man that had offered her a job on the night she had planned to engage in the activity of a one night stand. No. It couldn't be because there was no use believing that Marshall Yugo had been the man that had met her at the hotel room that night and offered her the job of being a nanny.She withheld the thoughts of him being the one regardless of the mansion that stood before her, the Yugo mansion known throughout the city of Qhezon.No two people had the same house as his family but she convinced herself to believe there were. It was the only thing that would be able to compel her to go in. She hesitated as she stood at the gate waiting for the security to verify her invite pass, questioning her decision to come. The events of the past few days had left her emotionally drained—losing Jasmine, the betrayal by Arun in the end, and now this unexpected job offer. She clutched her phone contemplating whether to call it off by returning the million dolla

    "Did you make the complete payment to him?" 'Yes Mrs J. I also made sure to provide all he'd be needing to execute the plan"" That is very good" she said to the voice on the other end of the phone call. "This would be the perfect riddance to that piece of shit. I can't stand the thought of her getting released and having to fight for the company shares and inheritance with my children. Jaiswal already displayed his foolishness by including her in his will,, I can't sit back and watch that happen. Make this plan a success" she said and began to walk back into the courtroom.Marshall Yugo walked out of where he had stood. He had been on his way to the courthouse for Jasmine's hearing but on eavesdropping on the phone call, he turned his back to leave. There was no need of him being there when something else was being plotted. -------------------------"Who is she?"

    Mrs Jaiswal's car arrived at a venue she had been texted and walked out cautiously out of her car, turning to check her back all the time to ascertain if anyone was following her or might have done so. "Are you sure this facility is hidden enough? I don't want the media or people to find out my son is at this place. Are you sure with it being empty and hidden?" She pressed the man at the counter so kept replying her in the affirmative. It was hidden enough, he couldn't tell why she was finding it hard to believe when it truly was hidden. He watched from the door as she entered the last room where her son was at. It was the only room having a patient, like she had requested.. The others were empty and only her son was a psychiatric patient at the facility. Mrs Jaiswal hugged her son tightly. She couldn't afford watching her only child go to jail over a meagre substance abuse case and had worked her butt off getting him freed illegally out of jail. Only this psychiatric facility

    Another bullet was fired and this hit Maya before she could pull the trigger of her gun. A police man had gunned her down and she fell to the floor, bleeding as well, regret and anger etched all over her face. But her motivation still burned deeply inside her and propelled her to still aim at Jasmine even as she was unconscious on the floor. She had to kill her, to her that was all that mattered. Marshall used the distraction caused by Maya being gunned down to rush over to where Jasmine was and carried her. "Please save my baby" Arun managed to whisper as he held on tightly to Marshall's leg. "Save my child" he continued to plead but Marshal pulled his leg away from him and carried Jasmine and ran off as he could. Arun stayed back while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. The police had said they called them. No one rushed towards him, not even one person. Jasmine would have if this had been in the past. She would have rushed to him even if she were wounded. He was to be bla

    "14billion!! For both Mother and child. You don't have to perform a surgery on her, just give me both and I will relinquish 14billion to you" Arun screamed on top of his lungs. "What?" Marshall shouted, angry with the way he was quick in pricing his woman as if she were some sort of property. He glanced over his wrist watch. Two minutes had passed and the police would probably be on their way. But his men would reach within the next few minutes so till then, he had to stall for some time. "Do you have any other solutions you propose Marshall?" Arun asked him desperately seeing that they had been cornered and Maya didn't care for whatever decision she was preparing to take next. For him he wanted both Jasmine and the baby. The mere thoughts of her being with Marshall gave him goosebumps that made his skin itch. This was an ample opportunity as well for him. If things were well, he didn't mind kidnapping her in the ending and running away with her. She was his from the onset. Marsh

    Marshall had anticipated a day like this and had done a DNA masking surgery on Jasmine. And as if she knew Maya was cooking something sinister for her, she had come prepared as that was he only bullet Maya had at hand against her. "I'll go by the chauffeur ma'am. The men are coming here soon, please wait behind" her secretary said and made way to rush to drive the car to where she was at.It wasn't up to a few minutes after her secretary left to drive the car towards her that she felt a hand cover her nose. She hadn't anticipated that her safety would be compromised so she hadn't been alert and had allowed the security off her sight for a second. Slowly, she lost her balance and dizzied as the smell oozing from the handkerchief her nose was covered with took control over her. Arun's three s reached as he saw what happened and he immediately began chasing after the car that Jasmine had been put into. He had been trailing her the few days and for a brief second he had taken his eye

    Maya's eyes locked onto Jasmine's with a fierce determination burning within them. "I think it's time we settled this once and for all so that those that have ajil terms to serve would continue" Maya said with her voice steady, subtly making a diss at Jasmine.The room fell silent with all eyes on Maya. She gestured to a technician from the DNA testing house she had invited. "Please, reveal the results."The technician nodded and began to explain. "We've conducted DNA tests on Maya Jaiswal. The results show..." The technician paused, scanning the room before continuing. "Jasmine Jaiswal is indeed the biological daughter of the Chairman Jaiswal."The room erupted into chaos with gasps and murmurs spreading like wildfire. Maya's eyes never left Jasmine's face with a mixture of emotions swirling within her.Mrs. Jaiswal's face turned ashen, her eyes wide with shock. "This can't be," she whispered, her voice trembling, pretending to be shocked even though it was all an act she hoped

    "Isn't that the man that was reported dead a few days ago on the news?" A lady asked from the crowd and only them did it occur to Mrs Jaiswal that she had called two media women and a man to cover when her son would become acting cooperation president. She never expected anything to go sour and then still recording. "Make them stop!! Immediately!! Make them stop!!!" Mrs Jaiswal's lips moved at her secretary who was a meters close to her. "Make them stop? They're already live mother and whatever is happening here is already available and accessible to internet users. Wasn't that the instructions you gave them?" Mrs Jaiswal's face fell. Her plans were backfiring and working against her and she couldn't control it from happening. "What does this dead man have to do with what we're discussing here Maya? He is not even a politician or a well known person" Maya turned the speaker down with a flick of her finger."To you he might not be. Beloved mother, do you mind telling your board o

    Maya's eyes narrowed while turning to her mother's direction. "Don't think you can hide it from us, Mrs. Jaiswal," she said with her voice dripping with malice. "We all know what's really going on here."The room fell silent, with all eyes on Maya and Mrs. Jaiswal. The tension was palpable, and it seemed like the entire room was holding its breath."What are you talking about, Maya?" Mrs. Jaiswal asked, trying to keep her composure."I'm talking about your son's addiction," Maya replied, her voice firm. "I'm talking about how you've been hiding it from the board members and the rest of the world."The room erupted into chaos with board members shouting and demanding answers. Mrs. Jaiswal's face turned bright red with rage and she looked like she was about to explode."How dare you!" she shouted at Maya, her voice echoing through the room. "You have no right to accuse my son of such things!"But Maya just smiled, a triumphant look on her face. "I have every right," she said. "And I

    It was finally the D-day for the board to decide if Mr. Jaiswal's heir should begin working as the new CEO of the corporation. The CEO had been absent from work for a few days now but his wife was able to hide the news of his disappearance with a fake document of him travelling abroad for treatments. She had wanted to stage it as a death of the chairman but because his body had not been found regardless of how many divers she sent to the ocean to search for it in the past few days, none had found his body. This had caused her to call for the meeting with her board immediately, fearing that someone would be out with an incriminating evidence against her son. "Alright, we've gathered here today to vote if the new CEO should begin acting as one" the microphone man announced and Jasmine shared a gaze to her step mother who caught her doing so. They smiled.
