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
"What are you going to do to Donavan Lasely," Arabella asked as Clark walked out of his closet. Her dad had left as he had some important work to take care of. And Arabella was a hundred percent sure that it had something to do with Donavan Lasely.Just as Isabella had expected, Arabella speaking to Clark had helped him a lot as he was now coming back to his normal self."You honestly don't want to know about it," Clark answered as he wore his shirt and started buttoning up."Oh trust me, I do want to know what you'll do to that bastard, he ruined my life and it's only fair enough that I do the same to him" Arabella said through gritted teeth. "Now tell me what you all have in store for him," she urged."I don't know, I wasn't there when dad and the rest of the family were making the plan," Clark answered truthfully.He had been too emotionally unstable at the time the rest of his family were making plans on how to destroy Donavan and he would have remained so if Arabella hadn't s
Clark's phone rang just as he and Arabella were driving into the parking lot of the Gerano company.It was a call from his right hand man and he immediately picked it up as he knew that the call had something to do with Donavan.He hung up after a few minutes of speaking to his right hand man."What is the matter?" Arabella asked when she saw the cold look on her brother's face."My guards are coming here with Donavan's finger. My right hand man said that Donavan had some connection to our family apart from what he did to you," Clark informed Arabella."Ok," Arabella replied. "Should we head up or should we stay here?" She asked."Let's stay here, we shouldn't allow the guards to walk around with fingers in their possession," Clark replied to which Arabella nodded in agreement. Ten minutes later, Clark's guards arrived and they handed over one of Donavan's fingers to Clark.Clark put it in the fingerprint sensor and it unlocked Donavan's phone. He could have just simply asked one of h
Charlotte gasped in horror when the news of Jasmine's death reached her ears."Sebastian please tell me it's not true," she begged, still not wanting to accept the fact that Jasmine was dead.Sebastian really wished he could do as Charlotte asked of him but it wasn't possible. No matter how many times he said Jasmine wasn't dead, it wouldn't change the fact that Jasmine was gone forever and not coming back."Justin is being brought here and will soon arrive here," he said instead and as he did, he felt pain in his heart for his son.He knew how it was to be in love and he couldn't imagine life without Charlotte by his side but Justin was going through the pain of losing someone he loved.Even though he and his son were always at loggerheads, he wished him happiness in his life but Jasmine's death was only going to bring him sorrow."Sebastian, you have to call and inform Jasmine's mom about what has happened to her daughter," Charlotte said in a hoarse voice as tears were dropping fro
“Mom,” Chloe called as she entered her mother’s room. “Yes, what is it?” Regina asked.“Is it true that Jasmine is dead?” Chloe inquired.“What? How did you find out?” Regina inquired. She had not told Chloe about what happened to Jasmine so how did she find out.“It’s on the news mom,” Chloe said and she passed the phone to Regina. She wasn’t one to watch the news if it wasn’t celebrity gossip but since Jasmine had become a public figure after she started dating Justin and after her father claimed her, anything that happened to her would always be in the news.Regina looked at the tablet and saw the video of the firefighters, trying to extinguish the fire on the news. “Well judging by this, I’d say that she is dead,” Regina said.“That’s good news,” Chloe exclaimed in happiness. “The bitch is finally out of our lives!”“Yes she is,” Regina nodded and smiled in happiness.“She really thought she could live a long and happy life with Justin Gerano but look, he couldn’t even save her

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
