đź’Š Jasmine's POV đź’Š
I slowly opened my eyes and my eyelids felt so heavy.
Alex bought me a sleeping drug yesterday and I slept off on the couch.
I managed to sit up and looked at Alex.
He's sitting on the floor with his head on the couch beside me.
He must have fell asleep while looking after me.
How can someone be so handsome and caring at the same time?
I brought my hand closer to him and moved some strands of hair falling on his face.
"If you continue staring at me that way you might just fall in love with me" Alex said and I flinched.
"You aren't asleep?" I asked.
"How can I sleep when I'm sitting on a cold floor" he said as he sat up.
"Then you should've gone to your room."
"I couldn't, I was worried about you" he said and I couldn't help but smile.
Gosh.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly blushing?" Alex asked.
"What?..... I.....am not blus
Back to Retrieval Mission💊 Emma's POV 💊Alex and Jasmine, those two seems to be getting closer.I have no problem with Jasmine but the fact that Alex's attraction to her is distracting him is what I'm worried about.Alex needs to remain focused for what's coming and if Jasmine continues to distract him, then I'll have no choice but to do whatever I can to get her out of Alex's sight.My phone rang and it's the hospital receptionist.🗨️ "Good morning ma'am, Mr Ryan Wilson is here, he says he wants to see his father who was brought here not long ago due to an accident.""Tell him to wait, I'll be there in a minute" I said and ended the call.I took the elevator down and walked to the reception where Ryan was pacing about."Hi, I'm Emma Griffin, the deputy director" I introduced as I brought out my hand for a handshake.
đź’Š Alex's POV đź’ŠI drove straight to the hospital but the Prime Minister has already left for home so, I drove to his residence.The security didn't let me in and insisted I come back tomorrow morning since it's already dark.But I can't just leave, I need an explanation and I must get it today.I insisted on going in and one of the securities decided to go alert the Prime Minister.Minutes later, he came back and let me in.I walked into the house to the sitting room where the Prime Minister was seated."What brings you here by this time of the night Alex?" He asked."William Sanders" I said and he looked at me confused."What's up with you? Why are you suddenly calling my name?" He asked and I sighed."Unbelievable""Is there something wrong Alex?"
đź’ŠRyan's POVđź’ŠDad called me to the house immediately and I left the hospital and drove to the Mansion."You called for me Dad" I said as I walked up to him in the sitting room."The Prime Minister just announced on the news, Alexander Sanchez and his surgery team are going to Afghanistan tomorrow" Dad said and I almost laughed."Good! This is good news!" I exclaimed. "At least now I'll finally be able to rid myself of that son of a gun.""You'll be going with them" Dad said and my jaw dropped."What the heck?! I don't think I heard you well Dad.""You heard me right, you are going with them tomorrow" Dad repeated sternly."Afghanistan is a war zone Dad, how could you ask me to go with them and why would I?""You've always been so shallow minded Ryan, don't you see? Now that the Prime Minist
đź’Š Alex's POV đź’Š"Step away from her!" I yelled but he didn't move.I angrily moved closer to them and push Ryan to the floor."You stay the hell away from Jasmine!" I yelled as I grabbed Jasmine's hand."What the heck is going on here?" Emma asked as she came in with the others.Ryan laughed and looked up at me."Come on man, did you have to push me so hard" he said as he stood."If I ever see you near Jasmine again, I'll make sure to do more than pushing you" I said as I angrily walked out dragging Jasmine with me.I sat on a new seat by the window and made Jasmine sit beside me."How many times do I have to tell you Jasmine, stay the hell away from Ryan! But you never listen to me do you?""I stayed away from him Alex, he was the one that walked up to me." Jasmine defended.
đź’Š Jasmine's POV đź’Š"What's going on here!" A soldier who just walk out into the room asked jerking me out of my fantasy world.The soldier separated Alex and Ryan and both of them continued panting as they stood on opposite sides of the soldier."You guys are supposed to be sleeping not fighting." The soldier yelled."Am gonna sleep in your room tonight Andrew cause I'll be damn crazy if I sleep with this asshole." Alex said and walked out of the room angrily and Andrew followed him."Why are you just standing still, let's go" Emma said and we both left the room too.We entered our room and I sat on the bed.What was wrong with me?I should've tried to stop them from fighting but instead I was just standing still like a mannequin emersed in my own fantasy.Emma's phone suddenly rang jerking me out of my though
đź’Š Jasmine's POV đź’ŠI sat in the quarantined room beside the boy's bed.He's unconscious and I've fixed an IV drip on him.Alex didn't want to believe I have the bubonic plague till a test proves him wrong so they took my blood along with the boy's for the test.So for the maintime, I am quarantined with the boy and we can't come in contact with anyone.There was a knock on the door and I turned to see Megan standing outside the glass door.I walked closer to the door and she looked at me with tears in her eyes."I am going to die aren't I?" I asked."You aren't going to die" she said and again, I knew it was a lie.I could sense the fear in her voice too."Alex and Emma have taken you guy's blood to get it tested at the military headquarters since the necessary apparatus to carry out the t
đź’Š Jasmine's POV đź’ŠI slowly opened my eyes blinking rapidly.Everywhere is so blurry and I feel so weak.But slowly the images came to focus and I could see Alex sitting right beside me."What the hell are you doing here Alex, leave from here before you get the plague too!" I said as I tried to shift away from him but he held my hand."Are you crazy, let go of me!" I said as I tried to jerk his hand off mine but his grip was pretty strong."Stop wasting your energy on driving me away, I've already contacted the plague too, that's why I am quarantined here" he said and my jaw dropped."What! This is a dream right? I mean you can't contact the plague too, it's not possible.""Why is it not possible, it's not like I'm immune or anything" he said. "I've already conducted a test too, it was positive.""You ha
đź’Š Alex's POV đź’Š"Your parents were killed trying to save me? How? I mean what happened that night? Why can't I remembered anything that happened then? Who killed my parents and why? Who are you?" I asked confused."You want answers? I'll answer your questions once you are able to leave that quarantined room" Emma said and I sighed.Who is she?What really happened that night?Who killed my parents?I need answers and it will be too sad to leave this world without getting them."I need my laptop, a book and a pen" I said and she smiled."Is that all you need?""Yeah, my laptop is in Andrew's room, I've already started my research so I just..." I couldn't complete my words as everywhere suddenly became blurry and I fell to the ground.đź’Š Jasmine's POV đź’Š"Alex!" I heard someone yell w
đź’ŠRyan's POV đź’ŠThe police was about taking me to my cell when someone called me."Ryan."I turned to see Susan standing there with red puffy eyes so I pleaded with the officer to give me a few minutes with Susan before I am taken back to my cell and he agreed."I'm sorry Susan, I know you warned me to be careful, you didn't want to see me hurt but I am sorry I had to do this, I couldn't just let...""Ryan" she called I interrupting me. "I am pregnant.""Pregnant?" I asked looking at her wide-eyed."Yeah, I'm pregnant with your baby.""Oh my God, this is... I don't know what to say... But... But am stuck here for the next five years." I said."I'll wait for you Ryan, I promise." She said and I couldn't stop the tears that flowed down my face."I do not deserve the love you've given me Susan but I'm very grateful and I promise you, the moment I step out of this prison, I am going to love you and my little bab

đź’Š Alex's POV đź’ŠI stood beside the Prime Minister's bed and gave him an injection that woke him up."Alex" he called weakly as he opened his eyes."How are you feeling?" I asked."My head is heavy but I'm still breathing well, so I guess the surgery was successful. When I am out of here all hale and hearty, we'll talk about Jasmine being released to you then. But for now, get me my phone, I need to make an important call." he said and I smiled."Mr Prime Minister or should I say ex Prime Minister.""What are you saying?" He asked confused.The door suddenly opened and some men from the FBI came in."We are from the FBI." one of them said as he showed his ID card."What are FBI agents doing here?" The Prime Minister asked."You are under arrest William Sanders." The man said."What? What crime did I commit? Perhaps you can't arrest me, I am the Prime Minister." He said."You were the Prime Minister b
đź’Š Alex's POV đź’ŠI followed the agent to the O.R and met few guards there."I was expecting to see dozens of security agents over here like you guys did the last time, where are the rest of your men?" I asked."In the reception area, we are looking for someone." He said."Who?" I asked"It's none of your business, all you should care about right now is performing the surgery successfully and nothing else, now go in" he said and I walked into the O.R.If they are all at the reception then there's no way Jasmine will be able to leave without them seeing her."Andrew" I called."We've been waiting for you doctor, should we start the surgery now?" He asked"I need you to go outside Andrew to the staircase in the third floor, you'll meet Jasmine there help her leave the hospital without being seen by the security agents" I said."What? I don't...""If the security men asks you where you are going, tell them ther
💊 Prime Minister's POV 💊"Sir, the Secretary of the State, Mr Dominic Gove is here with some other people to see you Sir." One of my security agents said."My surgery is scheduled for today, tell them no visitors are allowed till after my surgery." I said and he bowed and left.My phone was ringing and I checked the caller.James Wilson"Did you call to wish me luck on my surgery today?" I asked as I picked up the call.🗨️ "I have bad news Williams.""What bad news?"🗨️ "Ryan... I think he's going to do something against us." He said."What do you mean?"🗨️ "His Mom died in a plane crash and he saw in the file that you gave him that we are the cause of it. Why on Earth did you give him the red file in the first place?""You were out on a business, who else was I supposed to give it to? Perhaps, he's your son, he won't do anything to harm you cause he knows if that file gets into the wrong hands, we all
Ryan's POV đź’Š"Ryan! Ryan!!" Someone called and I slowly opened my eyes to see Susan."Ryan, are you okay?" She asked looking worried.I quickly sat up and I looked around.I'm at home, in my apartment and there were lots of empty bottles of tequila on the floor."Are you okay?" Susan asked."What happened?" I asked."I should be asking you that, you called me yesterday speaking all sort of gibberish about your Dad causing your Mom's death and how you don't have the courage to go against him cause he's still your Dad. I figured you were drunk with the way you spoke so I came here last night only to meet you drunk and asleep and with a high temperature so I stayed up overnight taking care of you." She said and I sighed.I remember.I came back here after confronting Dad yesterday.I was confused and didn't know what to do so I started drinking all the tequila I have at home, I needed someone to talk to so I called
đź’Š Ryan's POV đź’Š"Dad!" I yelled as I barged into the Family Mansion and saw him watching TV in the sitting room."What's wrong son?" He asked."Do not call me your son." I said angrily."Oh God" Robert said as he walked out of one of the rooms. "What's going on now that you had to wake me up with your nouse this morning?""What's going on? Well take a look at this." I said as I handed some papers from the red file to Robert."What's it?" Dad asked but I ignored him."This shows that the Prime Minister, Dad and the Minister of aviation purchased already used airplanes that were not functioning properly for the National airport just to cut down the cost." Robert said. "Come on Ryan, we both know Dad has always been involved in shady deals, it's not a reason enough for you to barge in here shouting like this.""I knew you were dumb but I never knew you were so stupid and clueless Robert.""Watch what you say you disrespect
đź’ŠJasmine's POVđź’Š "What's in that file? You are always with it" I said. "You are very dumb if you think I'll answer your question" he said. "It's a harmless question and I was just curious." "Well for your information, I have no idea what's in the file either cause it doesn't belong to me." He said. "You stole it?" "It's for the Prime Minister you fool, now shut your mouth or I'll shut it for you!" He yelled. And then I remembered, the red file Emma was talking about then. This is it. If only I could escape from here with the file, I'll be able to save both Emma and Alex. "I need to go to the bathroom." I said and he looked at me. "Are you kidding me?" "No I'm not, I really need to go to the bathroom." I repeated and he hesitated for a moment. "Fine" he said as he stood up still holding the file. "Aren't you going to drop the file?" I asked. "Not even in your dream
