So the truth has finally been revealed. Was this how you expected it to happen or was it better?
"You knew such an important thing and you didn't say anything," came the deep voice of his father.He turned and looked at Diego. His father rarely scolded him and it was even more rare to see his father mad at him.But now was one of those rare moments where Diego was angry at his son.Austin didn't say anything, he simply bowed his head and looked at the floor. It reminded him of his teenage days when he would get into trouble with his father.The only difference was that this situation was much more serious than any other. Sebastian would take care of Austin later. All he was worried about was Arabella and where she was going all alone without any guards.He immediately texted Jonathan and told him to keep tabs on her. After taking care of a few important things, he walked over to Charlotte. "Go to your husband, I will take care of your mother," he said to Isabella. "He needs you more than she does."As much as Isabella wanted to stay with Charlotte. Her dad was right. Clark n
Austin had just come out of the shower when his phone rang. He walked over to the bedside table and picked it up. Upon seeing who the caller was, he immediately answered the call.He didn't say anything and neither did the caller for about fifteen seconds."Hello," finally came a soft voice."Why are you calling me?" Austin asked coldly."I'm sorry," Arabella apologized. Even though she didn't want to be around any of her family members, she found herself unable to stay away from Austin and so she called him."Sorry for what exactly Arabella?" Austin asked. "Is it for taking such a rash decision or revealing your identity in such a way or driving out on me?"Arabella bit her lips to stop herself from crying. It had been a while since Austin got mad at her and so she hated the fact that he was behaving coldly to her."For everything," she answered. "I let my anger get the better of me and revealed my identity in a dramatic way.""You know, I could have told my family ages ago about
“Why? Aren’t you going to feast your eyes on my well toned abs anymore?” Justin teased.Jasmine’s face went red with embarrassment and so, she removed one of her slippers and threw it at him. He easily caught the slipper and this just made her more annoyed.But thankfully, Justin turned and walked into his closet. He came out moments later dressed in a plain white shirt and shorts. He saw that Jasmine was still seated on his bed, patiently waiting for him to come out and tell her where he had gone so late at night. He didn’t want to bother her but at the same time he didn’t want to lie to her. And so, he sighed and walked up to the bed. He then took his seat beside her.“Where did you go?” Jasmine asked for the third time that night. The last thing she remembered was falling asleep in Justin’s arms after comforting him. But then, she suddenly woke up and found herself in her room and tucked in bed.She wanted to go back to sleep but for some reason, she wanted to check on Justin
During the meeting, he kept on glancing at Justin who kept on ignoring him. “Everyone out!” he suddenly ordered in the middle of a presentation. Seeing how angry he was, everyone except Jasmine immediately stood up to leave.“Walk out through that door and you’re fired,” Justin said calmly. They immediately stopped in their tracks upon hearing what he said.“Stay in this room and you lose your jobs,” Austin retorted.The employees were stuck between a rock and a hard place. Were they supposed to follow the order of the CEO or COO? Others might have followed the order of the CEO but the employees were smart enough to know that it was just a position, Austin and Justin both had equal powers in the company.They looked over to Jasmine who was the only one who seemed calm and composed as she didn’t move from her seat. They desperately pleaded with their eyes for help.“You all can go,” she said. They really wanted to do it but the order wasn’t from Justin. But on the other hand, she
Jasmine looked at her supposed best friend in disbelief.Arabella had gotten bolder and more outspoken. This made Jasmine realize that she had been pretending to be a weak girl who always needed her help.So she lied about that as well. What else did Ella also lie about?"Excuse me, I have to leave and take care of some important work," she said and she immediately left the room.Arabella sighed as she watched Jasmine leave. She would talk to her later for now, she needed to deal with the issue at hand."Listen here, the four of you," she started and stopped to make sure that they had given her their full attention.After being satisfied that they were listening, she continued."I was the one who asked Austin not to tell you about who I was," she said.Austin raised an eyebrow at her words as that was not true. He would have refuted her claim if she hadn't given him a fierce look that told him to keep quiet."Like he said, I was the only one who had the right to tell you who I was and
None of them expected to see Jasmine and what was worse was the fact that she had heard everything.They were planning to break the news to her slowly but that wasn't going to happen now.They all turned to face her, their faces widened in shock."Jasmine…. You were sleeping?" Justin said."Did you really think I'd sleep after you asked me such a question?" Jasmine retorted.Justin was about to ask how she was able to hear all of what Arabella had said when he suddenly remembered that there was a camera in his office which was connected to the private office."How long have you known that my father was not the bad person I thought he was," Jasmine asked Arabella as she walked over to her."Since I met you again for the second time," Arabella answered and as soon as she did, she felt a sharp pain on the left side of her cheek.Jasmine had slapped her. She knew she deserved it but it still hurt as this was the first time Jasmine hit her. They had verbal fights but that was it so this was
"Ma'am is fine sir," Eunice answered."Then what is the problem?" Sebastian asked."There's no problem sir, in fact there is good news," Eunice said. "Madam Arabella has finally returned home and she and Madam Gerano are making up."Sebastian's lips curled up into a genuine smile, one that was rare to see. "Okay, keep me updated if anything else happens.""Yes sir," Eunice said and Sebastian hung up."You seem happy," Flynn, who was sitting beside him in the car, commented."Arabella has forgiven Charlotte," Sebastian informed Flynn.Flynn's face also broke out in a smile. "That's good news," he said and Sebastian nodded.They both knew it was only a matter of time before Arabella also forgave the rest of them."And now, we can finally release the news of Arabella's return,” Flynn said."Already on it,” Sebastian said as he texted Jonathan, giving him the order.*****"Ahhh, this cannot be happening!" Donovan yelled and threw away the glass in his handsBradley who was sitting opposite
Sebastian came out of the shower ten minutes later and by then Arabella was already resting her head on the pillow."Have you had dinner?" He asked Charlotte in a low voice as he didn't want her to kill him if he woke Arabella up."No," Charlotte answered and this caused Sebastian to frown.Eunice informed him that she had missed Lunch and she hardly ate anything for breakfast.She would definitely fall sick if she continued to starve herself. And so, he walked over to the bed and lifted her up and he didn't put her down despite her protests."Stop struggling, would you?!" Sebastian ordered as he led her out of their room.It was as if he used a magic spell as she immediately stopped struggling and relaxed in his arms."Where are you taking me too?" Charlotte asked as Sebastian started descending the stairs."To eat dinner," Sebastian answered. "You know how much I hate it when you starve yourself," he added."I'm not even that hungry," Charlotte retorted but Sebastian paid no heed t

It seemed just like yesterday when she met Justin for the first time. She remembered how much she had hated him and how much she wanted to kill him for making her life such a living hell and now, she was getting married to him a few moments from now.Life was truly unpredictable as no one would have ever imagined that the man who was once the cause of her sorrow would be the source of her happiness.“Oh my goodness, you look so beautiful,” her mother exclaimed as she entered the room. “And with that red hair of yours, you’re bound to be the star today,” Hilda praised.“Mom, it seems that you have forgotten about the fact that you also have red hair and about the fact that Arabella is also getting married today," Jasmine pointed out.Yes, Arabella and Austin were also getting married on the same day as Jasmine and Justin. After a lot of deliberation, Charlotte and Danielle decided to have the two couples' wedding on the same day. Arabella and Jasmine had no problems with it neither
Jasmine’s eyes slowly fluttered open, and when she was fully awake, she saw herself staring at a naked chest, the one she had spent the night with.She slowly lifted her head and found a pair of deep blue eyes staring at her with a smile on his face. “Good morning, my love,” he said in a hoarse voice, and he kissed her forehead.“Good morning,” Jasmine answered, and she snuggled closer to him as she enjoyed the warmth that was radiating from his body.“Do you feel sore down there?” Justin asked her.“You kept me up till midnight and showed me no mercy, how do you think I feel?” Jasmine fired at Justin.“Well it’s your fault as you seduced me and made me lose my self control,” Justin quickly defended himself.“How is it my fault?” Jasmine cried out.“You know what you did,” Justin shrugged casually, and he turned and got out of bed, much to Jasmine's displeasure.“Where are you going?” Jasmine asked as she tried her best not to look at his body.Damn, with a body like that, she would n
Jasmine looked at herself in the mirror after the make-up artist was done and she saw that he had done really heavy make-up on her.She sighed resignedly as she didn't want a heavy make-up as she didn't want to go through the stress of removing it later.The dinner would only last for a short while after which she would have to take it off as she wouldn't be able to sleep in her make-up."Thank you," Jasmine said instead of complaining. There was no point in complaining aa the makeup was already done.She then stood up from her seat and headed downstairs to the living room where Charlotte and Jayden were seated watching cartoons. It's said that Jayden had also forced Charlotte into watching cartoons with him."Oh wow! " Charlotte exclaimed when she saw Jasmine. She quickly passed the cartoon and then carried Jayden to go and meet Jasmine." oh honey you look so good "Charlotte complimented and it could be seen from the expression that he meant every word of that compliment."Thank yo
Jasmine opened her eyes and saw that the bed was empty. She got up abruptly and was about to freak out about Jayden not being in the bed when she noticed that Justin wasn't there as well.That meant Justin must have probably taken Jayden. She got out of bed and washed her face before heading downstairs.She heard Justin's and Jayden's laughter coming from the dining table and so she went there."Good morning, Mrs Gerano," Jasmine greeted when she saw Charlotte at the table.Charlotte was about to scold her for being so formal with her but then she remembered that she had promised Justin not to tell Jasmine that he planned to propose to her."Good morning dear, how was your night?" Charlotte asked."It was fine," Charlotte answered."Mama," Jayden said excitedly and he opened his arms so Jasmine could carry him.Jasmine furrowed her brows at Justin. "We've been teaching him a few things," he explained.She nodded and then carried Jayden. "How are you?" She asked and started to play wi
"Where are they?" Sebastian asked angrily as he came downstairs."What's wrong honey, why are you so mad?" Charlotte asked, feigning ignorance as to why Sebastian was so mad."Diego, Austin and Justin, where are they?" Sebastian asked."Justin went out," Arabella pointed out."Yes, he went out to bring Jasmine back. She is here and that means that he is back so where are the three of them?" Sebastian asked."We honestly do not know daddy," Isabella said and rubbed her tummy in an effort to stop Sebastian from interrogating them.Her plan worked as Sebastian stopped asking them questions."Here, hold him," Sebastian said, handing over Jayden to Jasmine.Jayden smiled upon seeing Jasmine as he showed her the scrunchie she had given him. Jasmine pinched his cheeks lightly and this made him smile even wider."Don't worry, I'll find them myself," Sebastian said and he brought out his phone and opened an app.He input their phone numbers and soon after, their exact location came up.Without
Jasmine got to her father's house and she was greeted by her mother when she got there."What's wrong? Why are you here so late in the night?" She asked."Nothing," Jasmine answered. "Are Dad and Chase at home?""No, they still have some problems at their warehouse and so, they are there," Hilda answered."Can I stay here for the night?" Jasmine asked."Of course you can, you didn't even need to ask," Hilda said.Jasmine nodded and immediately headed up to her room. Hidla however followed her as she could tell that something was bothering her daughter."Wait, did you and Justin get into a fight?" Hilda asked."No we didn't, mom," Jasmine answered."Then what is bothering you?" Hilda continued to probe. "I'm not leaving here until you tell me what's wrong.""Mom, can we talk about this in the morning?" Jasmine's request. "Oh no, young lady, the longer you keep it in, the longer damage that thing will cause," Hilda said."No, tell me what is wrong," she insisted and then walked over t
"I know that he is Justin Gerano's son," Jasmine stated and she watched how the colour drained from the already pale face of May."What are you talking about?" May managed to ask after she had regained a bit of her composure."Drop the act," Jasmine said. "I already know who you are and what happened between you and Justin three years ago," Jasmine told May."I knew who you were and figured out who Jayden was from the first time I met him at the restaurant.""And even if I didn't know who you were, I know my boyfriend and I have seen his childhood pictures," she said." I would have raised questions as to why your son looked a lot like my boyfriend," Jasmine pointed out. May sighed in resignation upon seeing that there was no way she could deny the truth anymore."I'm not here to separate you from Justin," May assured Jasmine."I know that," Jasmine said. "If you were, you would have gone to The Gerano Mansion ever since you arrived in the country."May heaved a sigh of relief upon s
