"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

    Marshall Yugo sat in his dimly lit study, his mind drifting to the time long before the glitz and glamour that now surrounded him.

    "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?" Mia's voice finally came forward, her gaze lingering at his eyes that watched the sleeping lady so affect

    "Don't you think you're exposing yourself too much for a person that doesn't have her name cleared yet?" Maya asked with all seriousness, facing Jasmine as she did. Jasmine smiled as she knew where she was driving at and Marshall had been wise enough to expect a day like this. "I'm sorry but I do not quiet follow you Mrs. Ruge" she calmly replied. "Oh stop with the silly pretended Jasmine. You don't need to hide the fact that you're Jasmine Jaiswal from me" Jasmine turned to her secretary. "Jasmine Jaiswal is the late daughter of the Jaiswal family. Perhaps you're being mistaken for her ma'am because of the resemblance in your names" he explained. Maya bursted into an uncontrollable laughter. " I swear you're so good at acting Jasmine. You should be given an Oscar because I almost didn't even recognize" " If you would excuse us ma'am, my boss here has a meeting we're attending and we cannot afford to be late for anything" her secretary said again and Jasmine began walking away

    Maya was growing hot with impatience as well as they all sat waiting for the board members like she thought they were. Jasmine sat in their midst knowing she was whom they were waiting for but didn't bother to speak since none of them didn't ask her. Marshall's secretary had come with her and sat by her side while they both waited, for who ever Arun and jos wife believed they were waiting for. In after what seemed like forever, Maya finally asked her husband whom they were waiting for and if it were still his other board members who held minority rights in the room."The owner of Jasmine companies" he muttered. She stared at him and then at Jasmine. She was there already. Didn't he know that she was the owner? Oh well, how was he to. But at the same time it hinted her at another reason. If Arun didn't see her as coming to represent the jasmine companies, then why was she there and who was she representing. " Of a truth, you are actually looking at the CEO and owner of Jasmine Cor

    The fragrance Maya perceived oozing from her chauffer was somewhat familiar. It's musky scent reminded her of someone she had met at Arun's company before but she couldn't piece whom. As she alighted from the chauffer and began walking up the stairs to take the elevator, then did it happen that her memories were awaken.Yes, she had seen her chauffer from somewhere before. She had run into him on one of her trips down Arun's office. How could she forget. She was angry that day caused by Arun's stupidity and she had bumped into an arrogant man who got her without apologizing. The man had been handsome, the same handsomeness that had caught her attention that day and had caught her attention the day she cheated on Arun with him. The same handsomeness that had made her question why he chose to be a chauffer instead of other flashy titles he could have picked up from his path to success from his good looks. She wanted to smile and feel proud that he had seen working for her as an ho

    "Tell the reporters we're no longer taking interviews" But the call was incessant and the caller did not back out from calling. "Have you told what I said?" Maya questioned her chauffer. He had been acting as her secretary the past weeks and she hadn't questioned why nor ready to stop him from doing so, being safe in his company. "The caller seems to have am insider information to tell you ma'am" "What is there to tell me that I haven't heard" she muttered to herself before collecting the phone from him. "Your sister is alive and she is Marshall Yugo's wife" the voice said before the call disconnected. Maya puzzled over the bit of information she had been told. Her sister... Jasmine... Jasmine Padmavati. But Marshall... The Padmavati's... Thinking out loud, the Padmavati's weren't in attendance on the day he unveiled her and there was no sign of even one of the family members. Could it be that what she had been told was true or someone was trying to pull her legs with a fak

    Arun walked into the company building. At first, he heard murmurs around him but he raised his head and walked right in. They were his workers and he had rights over them. For those he beheld their faces sniggering behind his back, he was going to sack and lay off without notice. This was his company and he was going to take it back from the chaos he had left it to be in, especially the new one Maya added. "Welcome back to work sir" His assistant ran over to him as he was approaching. He looked like someone who had not left his job position ever since he left him. "Go on" he instructed sensing that he had wanted reporting something to him. "The warehouse at ....." "I know" Arun sighed and mumbled, cutting him short before he could finish. Of course he knew what had happened to the warehouse, more surprising was that it was his wife who had caused it and was now leading a narrative that it had been caused by enemies and a paid arsonist. And an investigation to discover whom

    "Please stop the car" Jasmine's rasped voice came but the taxi driver didn't do as she had instructed. She repeated what she had said and her request seemed to have annoyed the driver."I'm not stopping till I reach your destination. You two caused me to miss appointments today,do you think you can be able to pay for the damage you caused me by wasting my time?" Marshal knew from the tone of the man's voice that he had been angered. True,they wasted his time but he had underestimated him and how he would have rewarded him handsomely if not for the disrespect he has shown to Jasmine in his presence."Stop the car right now!! Fucking stop the car right now!!" Jasmine screamed hitting the doors of the car as hard as she could.She needed to breath. She needed to walk away because perhaps doing so was going to while away the pains she felt.The car wasn't providing that comfort she needed and only walking down the bush road appeared to do so."Please just stop the car. We'll drop here"

    Arun watched from a corner of his eyes as Maya answered almost all the questions asked by the press she had Invited. She had won. Well, it was obvious she did. She had gotten him to return to their mansion with her where she already had numerous Interviews waiting for their return. And she has made him appear before the camera with her, regardless of how angry he had been. To admit she did have a good plan up her sleeve and her burning his warehouse had garnered pity from the public towards him, sentiments that were fast rising his stocks back into the market. And with what she argued about the recording being adulterated and fake, it was easy to believe too, considering how AI was on the rise in the society and the use of cloning apps. She indeed was smart but the remnants of his anger about her burning his biggest warehouse still remained. "You will go to work after the interview. You'll show the people that you're not backing out from what belongs to you" she said affectionat

    "While coming here did you honestly think I was going to believe your cock and bull story?" Jasmine mumbled with a heavy saddened voice from what she had heard. "Who did you even think you are to come here and spill such bullshit before me, expecting me to believe!?" She snapped angered. "Calm down Jasmine.... I" "Calm down? You expect me to calm down after the bullshit you just spilled?" She continued bawling, trying her hardest to prevent the tears that had gathered at her eyes from falling. "I'm sorry but I didn't mean it that way, I only wanted to tell you the truth about..." "Truth? What truth?! Your perfectly crafted cock and bull story? Your imagination? What truth!!" "Just who the fuck did you even think you are!! What gave you the right and impetus to say this to me!"" I was the..."Again Jasmine cut her short. But his time her voice was calmer than how angry she had been before. She was still, as if she had received a new revelation. "Ofcourse. Did I forget. You're

    "From the house worker at the Jaiswal's I was able to ask, the young Jasmine had cried alot arguing that someone had killed her mother that rainy night after she was tucked into her bed, but her father had silenced her saying it was in her imagination" "Why would her father do such a thing, he should have listened to the young girl and found out the truth concerning what she had said" "That was what I said too but well, you're about to find out why he did what he did soon"" Her father apparently struck a deal with the little girl. He was to bribe the media into not talking about the suicide she was ruled to have committed, reasons being for his daughter not to live her life reading all over the media about how her mother committed suicide" he continued, pausing at intervals to study Marshal ans the rapt attention he was paying to his narration. " Who ever would hear that would say he is a very caring and thoughtful father"" That was what I wanted to say too but keeping quiet beca
