“Justin, call Jonathan and Marcelo and inform them of what happened tonight. I want that mole found by tomorrow!” Sebastian ordered. Justin nodded and left to do as his father had asked him to. “It’s late, you all should head home,” Austin urged.“But I want to stay and help,” Charlotte said.“He’s right my love, we should head home,” Sebastian said. “But…” Charlotte started to argue but Sebastian held her hand and stopped her. “I know you want to help but there’s nothing we can do tonight. You'll help tomorrow,” he said and Charlotte had no choice but to agree.That was a lie on Sebastian's part as he had no intention of involving Charlotte in the matter. He could tell that something big was about to go down and so, there was no way he would put her in danger. As he passed by Austin, he gave him a look and Austin who had known his uncle for all his life immediately understood the look. “Involve her and you suffer for it,” was what Austin understood by the look. He immediately
Ella opened her eyes sharply as she had been woken up from sleep abruptly. She turned her head to the left and she saw the source of what had led to her waking up. It was her phone which was ringing. And even though it was on vibration, that didn’t stop her from waking up. This was due to the environment she had grown up in with taught her that she had to be at alert at all timesHer phone stopped vibrating and she returned her head back to what she was lying on and closed her eyes.It was as if something snapped in her head and she opened her eyes again to look at the pillow she was resting her head on. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw that the pillow was Austin’s chest. She looked down and saw that she had slept in Austin’s arms. Ella quickly stood up and jumped down from the bed. After speaking to Jasmine, she and Austin decided to watch a movie. They must have fallen asleep while watching the movie. Her phone started vibrating once more and she picked up the phone. Her
"We are here," the cab driver said to Jasmine.Jasmine was brought out of her deep thoughts. She looked outside and saw that they had indeed arrived at her family's restaurant."Thank you," she said and gave the cab driver his money. Jasmine got down from the car and looked at the restaurant once again.There seem to be no customers at the restaurant. That was shocking as she expected to see the place already full considering what had been released about her.Well that was to her advantage as she would be able to say what she wanted to without any interruptions. Taking a deep breath she entered the restaurant.She was met by a cleaner who was cleaning up the place. It was evident from the look of shock on her face that she wasn't expecting her."Is Mr Lucious Baxter in," she asked."Do you have an appointment with him," the cleaner asked. Having worked with Justin as his personal assistant, she knew how these things worked. Her father was definitely upstairs in his office and tha
After his family meeting, Austin received a call from Jonathan. "Sir, I have found out something about Bella, the woman you asked me to investigate this morning," Jonathan informed. I'm on my way to the base, meet me there in twenty minutes," Austin instructed and hung up the call.He sighed and hoped that the truth about Ella would be finally reviewed so she would know what you would do with her.He quickly turned towards the direction of his car and entered it. Not long after he arrived at his family base.After greeting the men who were stationed outside he entered and headed straight to the office which was underneath the building. Jonathan was already waiting for him and after exchanging pleasantries they got down to the business which they had both come there for."What did you manage to find out about Bella?" Austin asked.Jonathan brought out a file from his bag and gave it to Austin which the latter immediately opened and started to read."She's the head of one of the gang
Jasmine could see that Justin was mad but why? Could it be that he had found out what happened to her at the restaurant? She wondered.“Justin, you’re here,” she said and removed her hand from Dennis’ embrace so she could go to him. Justin’s frown deepened when he saw the cut on Jasmine’s head. The cut couldn’t have been caused by an egg. It was obvious something else was thrown at her. “Yeah, I hadn’t heard from you since you left the hospital and that’s why I came looking for you,” he explained and glanced over at Dennis who was staring at them with a stoic expression.Jasmine noticed Justin staring and Dennis and she was reminded of the fact that she hadn’t introduced the two. “Umm, Justin, this is Dennis, we went to the same college,” she said.Justin finally recognized who the person sitting in front of him was. It was the asshole who had dated Jasmine because he made a bet with his friends that he could get her into his bed. She turned to Dennis and said, “Dennis, this is my
Why?" Austin asked innocently. He knew very well why Ella said so but he was having too much fun teasing her. Ella felt like knocking some sense into Austin's head. His life as well as Clark's was in danger as they were really high profile people.But how would she tell him without exposing her true identity?"Come, let's go in," Austin said and he led Ella into the building. The event had already started and so, they immediately took their seats.Ella could see Clark and standing behind him was Isabella. Even if she hated Clark with everything inside of her she couldn't allow anything to happen to Isabella or Austin as they had been nice to her; well Austin had been mostly nice towards her.She kept on looking around trying to find anything suspicious. She could see multiple guards stationed at various posts but that didn't help her to calm down. Knowing how the underworld worked she knew there could be men from the side that were sent to attack Clark in those guards she was looki
“Finally!” Jasmine exclaimed as she slumped back on her chair.Tired was an understatement to how she felt at that moment as she had just gone through six consecutive meetings.“You know, I also went through these meetings but you don’t hear me complaining,” Justin said.Jasmine rolled her eyes at his words. “Well, all you had to do was sit there and watch everyone else do the work,” she retorted.Justin was about to clap back when Jasmine’s stomach grumbled loudly. “Well, looks like someone is starving,” he teased.“I didn’t have breakfast and you dragged me out of the diner room before I could eat anything so of course I’m starving.” Jasmine got up from her seat and started to pack the files.“Let’s go before I die of starvation,” she said and without waiting for Justin’s response, she turned and walked out of the conference room. A card fell out of one of the files as she left but she didn’t notice it. Justin however did. He got up and picked the card up. He saw that the card was
“Are you okay?” Ella asked Austin as they drove back to his mansion. He was unusually quiet and for some reason, he seemed mad. Was he mad at her?“I’m fine,” Austin answered curtly. “Someone is following us,” Ella informed him. She had noticed the car had been tailing them since they left the hospital but she didn’t know how to tell Austin about it as he was mad.“They are my men,” he gave another short response. “Oh okay,” Ella simply said and she gave up trying to talk to Austin as she saw that he wasn’t in the mood to talk to her. They arrived at his house a few minutes later and they entered the house.“Why did you do that?” Austin asked out of the blue.“Do what?” Ella replied.“You could have gotten shot if you hadn’t gotten down in time,” Austin reprimanded.Ella finally understood what he was talking about. ‘Why did I do that?’ she asked herself. She hated Clark but yet she saved him from dying today. ‘If he died, Isabella would be heartbroken,’ the voice in her head sai

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
