Jasmine Ivory Sullivan, a name that brought love, jealousy, obsession, desperation and separation… a woman of every man’s dream ***Excerpt*** "Son, your flight leaves in two hours. This is your only chance. if you don't take up this offer now, you will never be allowed to bring up any conversation concerning your music dreams ever again in my house. It is now or never!” *** These were the excruciating words of Alexander’s father, Mr. Jayden Keller, a multibillionaire. Alexander wondered why his parents who were against his music career, suddenly gave him the go-ahead to pursue his dreams, without prior information. He tried calling Ivory, the love of his life, to explain the situation to her, because his trip was too sudden and he couldn’t see her before leaving, but all his efforts were futile, as she wasn’t reachable. When he got to the Uk, he sent Liam, his cousin, to go check up on Ivy, his secret girlfriend. On getting to the address, Liam found out that the occupant of that house no longer lived there. On his way home, he met a beautiful stranger, Jasmine, who was crying in the rain, because her boyfriend broke up with her. He consoled her and soon, he fell in love with Jasmine with his whole heart and could kill for her. Soon enough, Liam was ready to throw a surprise engagement for Jasmine. What happens when Alex who still couldn’t get in touch with Ivy and could no longer bear it, decided to come back to look for her, and at the same time, attend his cousin’s engagement party, only to meet the shock of his life? Let’s find out how this drama unfolds in this heart racing piece. No one is backing down.
View MoreBethany was terrified going to the door, though she said it was the child's mother, she hoped in her heart. it was Jasmine who got up and walked to the door, counting her steps and wishing this wasn't happening. What if it was the child's mother? She could arrest them for kidnapping, and their lives could be ruined forever.When she reached the door, she stopped and turned to stare at Liam and Bethany, they both stared at her, wanting her to go on. The door didn't have a peephole she could look through to see who was on the other side, it used to have but Bethany had changed the door when she moved in a few days ago. The knock came again and her anxiety rose. They were surely going to jail if it was the baby's parents. She placed her hand on the doorknob, her heart pounding loudly, and turned it slowly then opened the door wide. Behold, it was a man on the other side holding a parcel."I didn't order anything," she said more to herself than to the delivery man."Did you order anything
Jasmine stilled as Liam handed her the phone."Bethany wants to talk to you," he said.Bethany knew she was out on a date, yet, she still called her. Whatever the emergency was, she knew it had to be serious. Liam looked at her, he knew that whatever the caller had said wasn't good. Her beautiful features were distressed and queasy under the soft light in the restaurant."Whatever it is, can't it wait till after my date?" Jasmine asked."No, please. It can't. I'm so sorry this is happening now but you have to come now, please.""Okay," Jasmine sighed and handed the phone back to Liam.Then she looked up at Liam with downcast luminous blue eyes and Liam knew whatever she wanted to say he wasn't going to like it.Her hands fidgeted with the cutlery."I have to go now, Liam. Bethany just told me there's an emergency at home and she needs me to be there ASAP.""Can't it wait? What is it?" Liam asked, cradling her fidgety hands in his. In his mind, he was sorely disappointed their date was
The beautiful lady, whom Jasmine tried to see in her head as ugly, pulled away from Liam and left his lips glossy from the kiss. Jasmine could feel her temper rising as she stared at both of them. Of course, he was the same as everyone else, there was nothing he could tell her to make her think otherwise. He was rich and handsome, everything a woman wants and she had been a fool to believe that he would settle for only her. Her blood kept rising and her head kept ringing as she thought about it. But it will be over her dead body that she would get up and leave the table for both of them."Valerie?! What the hell was that?!" Liam asked, enraged. Valerie had always been a bit too comfortable in her skin and in getting under the skin of others. Liam had told her over and over again that simply because they were friends, it didn't give her the right to kiss him on the cheek whenever she wanted to."I'm so sorry. I was aiming for your cheeks, but then you turned and I got your lips instead
Jasmine pulled away from his arms, averting her eyes to the busy road that paid no attention to her nor her feelings. She avoided looking into Liam's eyes out of fear of what she may find in them. Her insides were restless but she kept a stoic face."What's the matter?" Liam had finally gotten over his disappointment of not kissing her and tried as hard as he could to hide it. He knew that he was unsuccessful in his mission but if she could behave as if nothing happened, he could do the same."Nothing. I just don't think we should be doing this." Her insides burned with a hunger for him but her head kept her sane. What guarantee did she have that he was any different from Alexander Keller? Jasmine conditioned her mind to feel hatred for Alex, and she hated that a tiny part of her wouldn't allow her to feel that way. She still yearned for his touch, still ached to be in his arms, still longed for the sound of his voice, still prayed to hear him laugh. She still wanted him and she wasn'
"Who is it?" She asked Bethany."If I knew the answer to that question, I won't be grinning this much, Jas. So, tell me, who is he?" Bethany asked while giggling."How am I supposed to know? I haven't even seen the guy," she said and got up from the bed with mixed emotions… Something in her wished it was Alex who had finally looked for her and found her at Bethany’s place. She walked to the door and opened it without looking through the peephole. Jasmine was surprised to see that there was no one out there, she stretched her neck and looked into the hallway, still, she didn't see any figure. Closing the door with a frown on her face, she turned to look at a smiling Bethany."Beth, that is not funny. You know I need my beauty sleep.""I said outside Jasmine, not outside the door.""What are you talking about?""Okay, let me explain it in simpler terms for your tiny brain to understand. A man is waiting for you outside the building and from the looks of it, he must have been standing th
Jasmine stared wide-eyed at her boss, Ms. Laura. She blinked her eyes rapidly as she tried wrapping her brain around the statement that the woman just made. Jasmine froze in her seat as she stared at her boss and then, involuntarily, she lowered her head. She placed her hands on her chest as she tried to steady her breathing."Jasmine, are you okay?"'Was she okay?' That was a question that would take hours for her to answer. She was having the worst week of her life and she didn't even know why. She wished the person she had offended would come out of the shadows and tell her what evil she had done, it would be easy for her to apologize. At least, it would be easier than going through a series of heartbreaks in a day."Ms. Sullivan?" Laura said as she shifted awkwardly on her chair to get a better view of Jasmine's head which was bent low. "Ms. Sullivan!" Laura shouted when she still didn't get a response from Jasmine."Yes?" Jasmine raised her head as she finally looked at her boss
Liam could see the debate going on in her head as he stared into her eyes. He also wanted to spend more time with her and wished that as a result of some miracle, she would agree to go with him.Staring into Liam's eyes and soaking in his facial features made Jasmine know that she wouldn't be able to make a wise decision, so she removed her gaze from his face. Looking down, she said. "That would be very nice, but I really need to get to work. I haven't been in for a couple of days and as nice as my boss is, there is only so much a person can take."When she had finished talking, she raised her head and looked into his sad and disappointed eyes. She had been told that she knew how to decipher a person's feeling by a simple glance, it didn't come as surprise to her after all, every emotion felt by a human being was projected through their eyes and Jasmine had learned quickly to study the eyes."I'm so sorry, Liam," she said as she stretched her hands out and stroked his arm."Hey, it's
"Jas, you're scaring me. What's wrong?" Bethany said as she drew closer to her."I could feel his pain, Beth," she responded and the fear in her made her voice come out as a whisper."What pain are you talking about?" Jasmine ignored Bethany's question and slowly turned her head to the white sofa she was sure that would be Alex's favorite chair if he ever met Bethany and gotten into her house. Slowly, her mind drifted from focusing on the chair to wondering about why in her dream, she constantly saw Alex and Liam as close friends and also saw and felt Alex going through so much pain."Jas!" Bethany screamed when she got no response from Jasmine.Turning her face swiftly toward Beth, Jasmine said with a smile. "Let's go back to bed. It was probably nothing."Bethany squared her eyes as she looked at her friend. "It doesn't look that way to me.""Look, Beth, I just had a bad dream and I don't want to talk about it.""Okay," Bethany said as she let go of the topic and turned to her sides
For a moment, Jasmine stood still, with a mix of emotions running through her, a feeling of admiration for the very handsome creature standing in front of her, and a feeling of disappointment, as she was hoping Alex was finally here for her.Liam on the other hand stood in awe at the sight of Jasmine. He felt as though this was the first time he had ever seen such a beauty. But there was something off about her… ‘what on earth could make such a beautiful lady look so sad under the rain?’ He thought to himself.Jasmine's heart fell upon seeing a man that was not Alex. She had expected that somehow, he would show up and everything would be okay, but unfortunately, she wasn't so lucky to have that. She didn’t wait to hear a word from the handsome stranger, she bowed her head in pain, and walked away as disappointment clouded her entire being. She couldn't stop her shoulders from shaking and the tears from pouring out of her eyes.Breaking his gaze from the most beautiful lady he had ever
The car gradually came to a halt right in front of the garage, while the driver rushed out to open the door of the backseat. Out came the glamorous, flair young man dressed in an ash-colored suit vest with a white shirt, sleeves rolled and ash pants to match, a watch on the left hand with a ring on his pinky finger, a pair of black brogue shoes, some dark shades and a smile to match it all up. He was charming and of a good height. He was none other than Alexander.Alexander Keller is the only child of the owner of the prestigious Marketing Company, Haven Marketing Corporation, Jayden Keller. A man that the nation looks up to which in turn leaves a lot of pressure on Alex, given the fact that his interest is not in the family business, but in music. But who in the world would let that happen? His parents were definitely not the answer.He took off his shades and heaved a sigh as he was escorted to the entrance of the building with other servants handling his belongings behind him. The
