Every night is the same. Same nightmare. Same waking up and crying. Same guilt that has been buried inside ever since. Same tears that ran down his face and cried and screamed. Sebastian was in his bed tossing and turning. He shot up and breathed heavily. “MOM! I’m sorry” he said as he sat up and brought his knees to his chest and cried. His guilt was buried deep but would always come up when he missed his mom. His mom. His rock and strength. This guilt he has been carrying since he was 17. He was so angry at her that she didn’t come to his game. She got in a drunk driving accident and died on the spot. When they told him he felt something died inside him that day. After that, he stopped playing football and got silent and cold. He wished he just understood that his mom was busy. He wishes he had just waited instead of being a brat and cockyThe next day he sat in the meeting. Cold. Ice cold glare looking into the room where everyone was speaking. Usually he’ll be happy but right no
Two Month Earlier"Oh crap! I'm late!" Jasmine, twenty-three-year old, said and ran out of bed and quickly ran to the bathroom to get ready for her job interview which she applied for. Royals Publishing is an agency that deals with billboard publishing and other business. Jasmine has applied for the personal assistant job to work with the CEO. Jasmine quickly got dressed and took up her stuff and ran out to catch the bus but she was late and the bus had left. Jasmine looked at her watch. "Oh, crap the bus already left! what am I going to do?" she asked and sighed and looked at the watch and waited for a taxi and when the taxi came she went in and told the taxi where she was going and the taxi went there.Sebastian, twenty-six-year-old, was getting ready for work. He had already dressed his two-year-old daughter who was in the living room playing with her blocks and in her dress. He went downstairs and went and took her up and went to his car and put her in the car and kissed her cheek
She slid down on the ground and held her chest as she kept on staying ‘Oh No’. She didn't want to fall in love with her boss because she didn’t want a cliche love story. She loved the idea of love but to fall in love with her boss she found that cliche.“I can’t fall for my boss…I CAN’T!” She yelled and went back to work.The next day, Jasmine woke up but was still laying in bed and looking at her ceiling. It was Sunday so the company wasn't open on Sundays unless Sebastian had something important coming up and wanted all hands on deck. Jasmine laid there and turned on her side and side and hugged her pillow and sighed."Why is he acting like that? Doesn't he have a child and wife... God" she mumbled to herself and got up and went to get dressed. She was going out with her friend. She went and got ready. She put on the flowy dress and flat shoes and wore her hair down and packed a small bag and went and called her friend. Her friend answered."Hello?" he asked and was getting ready al
Jasmine was in the cafeteria buying her lunch. It was lunchtime and the employees were in the cafeteria having their lunch and gossiping. She looked around and walked to an empty table and sat down and started to eat. A random male employee went to the table and sat down and looked at her and she looked at him and then looked around."Hey!~," he said in a cheerful voice and looked at her, and started to eat."Hey," she said and smiled and looked at him."I'm Henry and I'm guessing you are Jasmine?" he said and smiled looked at him confused and nodded and looked at her."How do you know my name?" she said and smiled and he ate."Well, everyone knows everyone, especially when you are the PA for Sebastian Rae," he said and smiled and looked at her and ate."Oh, so that his name" she mumbled and ate and looked at him and smiled.They sat there and ate and talked a little and after an hour they both walked to their desk. There at Jasmine stood Sebastian waiting on her. She saw him and look
She looked at him and smiled and sat back down crossing her legs while smiling."Well I came back because my company is moving here and I wanted to see my daughter and you" she said and smiled."Well I don't want to see you and you can see Mia""Mia Rae? huh? I was supposed to be Mrs. Rae" she said and went behind him and massaged his shoulders and he sighed."Yes, once but not anymore" he said and got up and went to pour out some water and looked at her."You were never this cold. But I guess people changed?" she said and put down a container and looked at him and went to sit back down."Yes people change" he said and looked at her and saw the container. "What's that?" he said and looked at her and went to the container."Hmm? Oh, just something that you like" she said and smiled and he went to the container and looked at it and opened the container and saw a pie but not just any pie, it was a Key Lime Pie and a cheesecake, chocolate swirl cheesecake. He looked at her and she smiled.
"Let's Begin," he said and sat down and looked at them and the managers from different publications were there. The managers of the company were older than Sebastian. Sebastian was the youngest there. The older managers didn't like it but they would never dare to voice their hatred towards it so they would just keep it in. Sebastian looked at them and opened the file and they did the same and read through it in silence until one of the Managers spoke."Mr. Rae? Why is Sunrays Estate on the merger?" the old man asked."Because they have shown me the potential in the advertisement and they have a new style that will be able to attract potential clients," he said and looked at him.Sunrays Estate Publishing was a new publishing group with a young manager. Even though they are new some individuals and other publishing groups have made claims that they are stealing designs which led the other groups to sue them and led them into bankruptcy. The older managers of the other groups were happy
Sebastian's Point of View...These are the lessons I have learned in life...It's been two weeks since Jasmine says she wanted to quit. But I am not letting her go that easy since she is the only one who ever looked at me with annoyance. And her ignorance made me feel like I am young again. Some will say I am not that old but has so much work that is turning me into an old man. Being the only sole heir of my father's company I decide that there is more to life than drinking and having 'fun' in university, so my father arranged my marriage with Clover since he wanted me to 'grow up and have responsibilities ever since mom died.But as we get to know each other I grow to love her a year after Mia was born, but she grows to love someone(never trust someone, who turns their backs on their family). She left with her lover during the day and leave Mia at my bed edge at the hospital. I guess that was the first learning in life.After she left my drinking became harder and my father had to

Clover was finished with her last shoot for the season. She got off the set and went to sit down and drank some water. Ryle got to her and looked at her. He got married to her because he likes her and that she is pregnant with his child. Clover saw him and kissed him. He kissed back and smiled. She then pulled away and looked at him.“Did you book the plane ticket for us?” She asked and looked at him.“Yes, I did, our plane leaves for tonight” Ryle said and looked at him.She nodded. The both of them told everyone bye and walked and drove to the house. They both went to pack but they both have a secret that they are hiding. After they had packed, Ryle called Amanda and told her to get packed as she did. They were going back to the USA. They were going back for the birth of the baby and to just get a new breeze. They lived in Paris for the past three years. Not only did they live there, Ryle built a fashion company along with Clover and Amanda by his side.None of the three has not spo
The next morning after 3 rounds of love making. Sebastian got up and went downstairs to get started on breakfast. Jasmine felt around and did feel Sebastian . She opened her eyes and got up slowly and groaned. She took her time to get out of bed and put on her robe and put her hair in a messy bun and then went to the bathroom. She watched her face and washed her face and did her skin care. After she was done, she went to Mia’s room and went and opened the curtains and turned to Mia and went to make her up. She rubbed her arms and kissed her awake. Mia groaned and woke up and yawned and opened her eyes. She then reached for Jasmine. Jasmine smiled and took her up and her stuffie and carried her downstairs. Sebastian was making French Toast with fruits and coffee for him and Jasmine and made English Muffin with sausage and fruit yogurt for Mia. Mai was allergic to cinnamon. Jasmine smiled and placed Mia in her chair and sat beside her. Sebastian saw them and smiled and looked at them.“
Three years have passed since Jasmine and Ryle last spoke. Jasmine did miss him but she could not forgive him. In those three years, she had opened her own business with the help of Sebastian. Mia turned three years old and started kindergarten last year. Sebastian has opened another business and joined it with the company. Clover, Ryle and Amanda have been travelling around the world. They weren’t planning to go back to the States any time soon. Things were peaceful in the states.It was night and Sebastian had finished helping Mia with her homework earlier. She was now sleepy so he got her ready and put her in the bed and covered then left the room. She quickly fell asleep because she was extremely tired. Sebastian then walked to his and Jasmine's room. Jasmine had moved into his house after the second year of their relationship. She helped to raise Mia. Mia calls her mummy and Jasmine is okay with that and Sebastian is okay with it.Sebastian walked and then saw Jasmine on the bed.
"Get out" she yelled and took him up and opened the door and pushed Ryle out. She closed the door and locked it and when not her room . She locked her phone and went to the bathroom and washed off her mouth. She then went to her bed and then when to sleep.After some hours, she woke up and took up her phone and saw numerous phone calls and messages from Ryle and Sebastian. As she was about to call Sebastian, she heard a loud knocking from the door. She sat in ther bed and groaned. If it was Ryle, she didn't want to face him now or ever again. The door knocked again. She got out and sighed and opened the door and saw that it was Sebastian. She looked. He looked up and sighed in relief and pulled her to him and hugged her tightly."Where were you?! I called and texted and you never answered!" He said and hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead. She held onto him and noded."I'm sorry baby, I was sleeping and then I woke up and saw the calls and messages" she said and he nodded."I'll
“Sure we can talk,” Jasmine said and looked at him."I will need you to be careful around Clover and Amanda, I don't know what they are planning but whatever they are planning I don't want you to be caught in the mix especially with Ryle now on their side, I don't know what they are planning," he started and she nodded and held his hands."The whole elevator incident is creepy. The elevator was work well and then the next day, the cable snapped, but I didn't call the company to come and fix the cable. As a matter of fact, the elevator was serviced two weeks prior, and the camera footage of that time seems to be missing. Nothing is adding up," he said and was a bit frustrated."Hey, Ill be careful and stay away from them okay?" she said and held his hands and kissed his cheek. He hugged her and held onto her and nodded.Weeks passed and Amanda avoided Sebastian, Henry and Jasmine as best as possible. Clover was no where to be found. Henry, her brother, said she went to a event for her
Jasmine got up and walked to the door. She looked in the peek hole and saw Clover and Amanda standing at the door with her hands crossed at her chest. She looked at Sebastian and was confused. She opened the door. Clover looked and pushed her out of the way and got in along with Amanda. Clover looked around and saw candles lit. Sebastian sigh and went and sat in the chair and looked."What brings you hear?" he asked and Clover looked."Well, Amanda and I were at the cafe with Jasmine and Amanda seems to can't find her credit car, so tell me Jasmine did you steal it?" Clover asked and looked at Jasmine."You guys were at the cafe?" he asked and he remember the smell of coffee on Jasmine's face when she came back to the hotel. Sebastian laughed a little and looked at them."What? I don't have her card," Jasmine said and went to her bag and threw out everything on the bed.She searched and then Amanda went over and took up the card and showed her. Jasmine looked confused and looked at th
“We need to have a talk,” Ryle said and glared at him.Sebastian sighed and looked at him and crossed his arm.“Why do you want to talk all of a sudden?” He asked and was confused and leaned on the wall.“Lets just talk, meet me at the hotel bar in 10 minutes.” he said sternly and walked away.Sebastian looked at him and scoffed and went back to his room. Jasmine sat there and looked at him.“Who was that?” Jasmine asked and put her phone down and laid on the bed.“Just a rival,” he said and smiled and sat beside her. She blushed and looked at him.“He wants to meet so we can discuss a matter in hand,” he said and she nodded and went and straddled him.He smiled and laid on her chest and hugged her. While he laid there, he was wondering what Ryle could possibly want to talk about. Jasmine played in his hair and kissed his forehead.“How about after you come back from the meeting , I will give you a surprise?” she whispered in a seductive voice.“Oh? What surprise?” he asked and pulled
The next morning, everyone was free to do what they wanted. Sebastian decided to stay in and sleep while Jasmine decided to go out and visit some places and go to the cafes. She got dressed, kissed Sebastian’s lips and headed out. Clover and Jasmine had met up at a cafe without Ryle. Clover was avoiding him after last night when they kissed. Amanda realized that Clover was avoiding Ryle.“Hey, Clover, why didn’t you want Ryle to join us?” she asked and Clover choked on her iced latte. “What do you mean?” Clover asked and coughed.“Well, when you asked me to come with you and I said that I will ask Ryle, you seemed nervous and said no,” she said and looked at her.“Stop talking nonsense Amanda, I just wanted to hang out with you today,” she said and Amanda was stunned.“You want to hang out with me?!” Amanda said and Clover groaned.Jasmine walked in and looked around and went to order. Clover looked up and saw Jasmine and smiled and stood up and looked at her. Jasmine orders her drin
Ryle put his hair in a man bun. Sebastian looked and smiled. The referee blew the whistle and the game started. It was Sebastian’s team against Ryle’s team but Ryle was fighting something different. They were playing until Ryle tripped Sebastian and he fell. The referee saw and gave a yellow car. Sebastian got up and looked at him. “Wow, I see you are playing that game…Don’t test me. Just because you are Jasmine's friend and Clover’s boy toy, don’t think I won’t mess you up,” Sebastian said and Ryle looked at him. “I already don’t like you for Jasmine so I can do whatever I want,” Ryle said. “I must tell you, Clover is one jealous person,” he smirked and brushed his shoulders and looked at him. They went back to play and then Ryle continued to tripp him on purpose but Sebastian would avoid all of them. That was until Sebastian had enough and grabbed him by the collar and pulled him to him. Ryle looked at him and smirked. Sebastian looked at him and punched him in his jaw and it bro
