"It looks like I'll have to eliminate Austin Gerano once and for all," Ella said in a sinister tone.Bella's eyes immediately turned cold upon hearing Ella's words. "You know I'll support you in anything and everything you do but I advise you to be careful when you mess with the Gerano family. we both know how dangerous they are.""Of course you do not need to tell me how dangerous the Gerano family is," Ella stated."I have been a witness to it personally and all I can say is don't worry about me, I'll be fine. None of them has managed to discover who I actually am and I hope to keep it that way." Bella simply shook her head and she knew it was pointless trying to talk her out of doing something stupid. All she had to do was to prepare her men to protect Ella when that finally happened."I met Clark Fraser some days back," Ella told Bella. The latter jumped out of her chair and went to hold Ella."You actually met the king of the underworld, how was it?" She asked with curiosity.El
"That's it for today," Jonathan said to Jasmine. They had just finished her training and as expected, she was beyond exhausted."You're not as bad as you were when you first arrived here," Jonathan commented before turning to meet the rest of his men.Jasmine's face lit up on hearing Jonathan's words. It wasn't exactly a compliment but that was the nicest thing he had said to her ever since she started training with him two weeks ago.She checked the time and saw that it was already seven forty five. Justin wouldn't be able to come and get her as he had a meeting which would end by nine o'clock.Jasmine pouted her lips and sighed resignedly. She was already used to Justin picking her up. Sure he would annoy her along the way but they always made up."Ma'am, it's time to go," Cole said, bringing her out of her thoughts."Aren't you going to say hello to your father?" Jasmine asked a bit confused as to why Cole and Jonathan were acting so distant with one another. Cole glanced at his fa
“You fucking locked us out of the car!” Austin yelled in annoyance.“What, that’s not possible,” Ella replied in disbelief.Austin looked at her and then moved out of the way. “Please, be my guest and get me into the car.”Ella went to the car door and tried to open it but it refused to budge. She couldn’t even check if the doors were opened as it was night and the windows were tinted. “I’m still waiting,” Austin reminded when he saw that Ella had stopped trying to open the door.Ella, seeing that her efforts were futile, stopped trying and turned to Austin. “It didn’t open.”“No kidding!” Austin replied sarcastically. “You must have hit the central lock when you opened the door. None of this would have happened if you had just listened to me and stayed in the car.”“Hey, don’t you dare blame me. None of this would have happened if you had not taken this deserted route,” Ella clapped back.Austin scoffed in disbelief at Ella’s statement. “Well forgive me for trying to get you home as
Marcelo watched as the black car parked in front of him. The door opened and a tall man came out. The guards who were with Marcelo flinched on seeing Justin walking up to them.They immediately felt pity for the men who they had caught. Nothing in this world would save them from Justin's wrath. He finally got to where the men who were caught had been tied up. His piercing blue eyes sent a chill across the three men's spine.Justin's eyes went over the three men and he saw his brother sitting casually on his car's bonnet with a bored expression and beside him was Ella Nelson. Justin wondered what she was doing with Austin. He would ask him later for now, he needed to deal with the three idiots who actually thought they could kidnap his brother and get away with it.****Two hours ago.Ella opened her eyes and quickly shut them back when the sun’s sharp ray hit her. Damn that was really bright! She sat up and slowly opened her eyes once again. It was still very bright but she was able
After a while, Ella finally let go of Austin. She didn’t want to imagine what would have happened if his men had not come and the thugs had managed to kidnap them.“Are you okay?” Austin asked in a whisper. “Yes I am,” Ella answered. “You idiot, there was no need to put yourself in danger just because of me,” she chided.Hearing Ella scold him assured Austin that she was really fine. He couldn’t describe the anger he felt at that moment when Ella was being humiliated. It made him forget everything including the fact that the thugs had their guns pointed at him.“I couldn’t control myself when I heard him say those things,” He explained.Ella touched the cheek he had been punched on lightly. “And what would I have done if something had happened to you?” she asked.Marcelo, who was standing beside them, wished to be anywhere else but there. Didn’t the two realize that they were in a public place surrounded by people? Why were they acting so lovey dovey with each other?His phone sudde
Justin stepped out of his car and as soon as he did, the driver who had driven Jasmine to the restaurant, stepped out of his own car and approached him.“Good afternoon young master,” the driver greeted and bowed his head in respect. “Good afternoon,” Justin answered. “Hasn’t Jasmine come out yet?” he asked.“No sir,” the driver answered. Justin’s brows furrowed upon hearing the driver’s answer. Jasmine had texted him a while back informing him that the contractors had already signed the contract so why was she not out yet?Justin could immediately feel something was wrong. He quickly entered the restaurant and scanned it but there was no sign of Jasmine anywhere. He could feel himself starting to get anxious.There was still that unknown mafia gang that put a price on her head which meant that her life was going to be in constant danger. “Good afternoon sir, how may I help you?” A waiter asked.“Did you see a red haired lady in your restaurant?” Justin inquired. Jasmine was very e
Justin turned to look at Jasmine with a questioning look on his face. “Jasmine?” he called.“I want to hear what they have to say,” Jasmine said. Although Jasmine had said that she wanted to see her parents, Cole could not grant her wish if Justin did not give him permission to do so. And so, He turned to Justin and waited for him to speak.“You can send them in,” Justin said. Cole bowed and left.After Cole left, Justin turned to Jasmine. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to see your family,” he said. “Nothing good ever comes from my family,” Jasmine affirmed and chuckled. “My sister is the one responsible for my condition and so, I want to hear what she have to say.”There was a knock on the door after Jasmine spoke. “Come in,” she said and the door opened. Just like Cole had informed them, her father and siblings were there. The only person who was not there was her step mother, Regina, much to Jasmine’s relief.Justin did not bother to hide the hatred from them as he looked at th
“If Justin Gerano thinks he has won then he has no idea of what I’m capable of. It’s time he realizes that the Geranos are not as powerful as they think they are,” Regina sneered.The Geranos thought that they were the most powerful family but that was not the case. Even if the Geranos, Brooks and Fraser all came together, it was not going to be a match for the empire her family had been building for over thirty years and they were the three most powerful families. Regina thought to herself as she remembered the past.They had remained anonymous since they had been created as they were not interested in gang wars. All they wanted was to do their business in peace but that didn’t mean that they didn’t become ruthless if necessary. And one of the times to become ruthless had finally come. The Geranos wouldn’t know what hit them. Regina turned and focused her attention on the man in front of her. “You know what you have to do right?” she asked.“Yes I do,” the man answered.“Now go

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
