“You’re finally back,” Charlotte exclaimed softly when she saw her husband and son approaching her. She could see that Justin wasn’t wearing the same clothes he had left in and that told her that the havoc he wreaked wasn’t a small one.Sebastian was about to say something but Charlotte quickly signaled him to speak quietly and pointed to the sleeping girl beside her. “You are going to have a lot of explaining and apologizing to do to her,” she pointed and said to Justin. “She wouldn’t stop worrying even after I told her you were fine and after I even sent your father after you.”Justin smiled nervously and grimaced. It looked like he was going to have to face an angry Jasmine once again. “How is Austin?” he asked.“He is doing good, your aunt is with him,” Charlotte answered.“Could you hold onto her for a few minutes, I want to see him,” Justin requested. “Sure go ahead,” Charlotte answered as she adjusted Jasmine’s head which was resting on her shoulder. Justin nodded and then p
“Sebastian, Flynn, I don’t see Arabella anywhere,” Charlotte raised an alarm as she rushed over to where Clark was sitting. “Where is your sister?!” she asked frantically.“She went to the restroom,” Clark answered.“And why did you allow her to go alone?” Charlotte asked, her face red with anger. Clark bit his lips not knowing what to say. He knew very well how terrifying Charlotte could be when she got angry.“I’ll deal with you later,” she said and rushed to the restroom with Sebastian and Flynn following her. Clark also got up and rushed to follow her.Charlotte immediately entered the restroom while the men waited outside. “No!” her loud scream could be heard a moment later. Not caring that this was a lady’s restroom, Sebastian and Flynn rushed into the restroom.They saw Charlotte sitting on the floor and she was clutching on to something in her hand. On taking a closer look, they saw that it was the wristwatch that was always with Arabella. The young girl knew that she was
Seeing that his father had already taken care of the man, Austin made his way over to the bed where Ella was painfully gasping for air.“Hey Ella, please open your eyes,” he said to her as he helped her sit up on the bed. It was painful for her as she groaned. “Ella please open your eyes,” Austin pleaded once again and she listened to him. As soon as she opened her eyes, Austin gently pulled her in for a hug, careful not to hurt her especially in her gut. “Relax, I’m here now,” he said soothingly, trying to calm her down as he could feel her entire body shaking. Diego brought out his phone and made a phone call to one of the guards who were outside Austin’s room. “Ahhh!” a loud shriek was heard in the hallway. “I’ll go and check it out,” Diego said and left. “Austin, who is he?” Ella managed to ask.“I don’t know, but I’ll find out,” Austin assured her and he began to stroke her hair. “I’m so sorry that you had to go through all of this,” he apologized.Ella took his hand and re
“But that’s all in the past now,” she squealed in happiness. The door to the room suddenly opened. It was Charlotte and behind her was Sebastian. “What’s all the shouting about?” she asked as she walked over Austin and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Before Austin could signal his mother not to say anything, Danielle spoke. “Austin and Ella are going out with each other,” she revealed.Charlotte’s eyes widened in shock just like Danielle. “Seriously, so the tabloids have been right about you both all along?” “No, they just started dating,” Danielle answered. It was very obvious that she was very excited about the news. “Although we saw it coming, this was a bit earlier than what I expected.” Charlotte said.Austin sighed and sank back into the bed. His lie wasn’t supposed to spread like this. It was only supposed to be a harmless lie to get him out of staying with his mother for the period he would be recovering but now it has escalated.And what made matters worse was the fact tha
"Austin, are you forcing me to be your girlfriend?" Ella asked in horror when she heard the firm tone he used and how serious he was."No, of course not, I'm a gentleman who would never do that" Austin answered. Ella didn't know what to feel when she heard his words. Was their relationship over so fast?"How about we do this right," Austin said. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked.How was it so easy for him to ask such a question so smoothly?"Just say yes, you don't have any other options anyways," Austin said impatiently when she had still not answered him after two full minutes had passed.He was used to other girls immediately agreeing to be his girlfriend so what was taking her so long."You're forcing me to be your girlfriend," Ella cried to which Austin shrugged nonchalantly."I gave you an option to choose from by asking you," he tried to defend himself."Which option, you won't even allow me to say no," Ella snapped in irritation."I'm glad you understand that fact!" Aust
“Stop looking at me like that, it's weird!” Austin snapped.“The one who is acting weird is saying someone else is weird, the irony,” Justin sarcastically expressed.“What’s wrong with liking Ella?” Austin probed.“Coming from you, everything is wrong. You’ve never developed any feelings for anyone before, she is the first you ever admitted you like,” Justin pointed out.“Oh you’re one to talk?” Austin quipped.“What does that mean?” Justin asked suspiciously as he could feel that there was a hidden meaning in Austin’s words.“No one would have ever thought you would actually like someone but you do too,” Austin expressed.“I don’t like anyone!” Justin fired back.“Tell that to Jasmine,” Austin retorted. “Oh please don’t give that look. We both know you have feelings for her.”“You…” Justin started but Austin cut him short. "You look at her the same way I look at Ella and let’s not talk about how you act around her. She is the first and last woman you care about that isn’t your famil
"Ma'am we are here," the driver informed as he parked the car. Jasmine opened her bag and gave the driver his fare. "Thank you ma'am," he said."You're welcome," Jasmine responded and got down from the vehicle.She was in front of the cafe which Dennis had told her to meet him at. She wondered why he had called so suddenly and urgently to meet.Well her question would be answered in a few moments. She took a deep breath and entered the cafe. She looked around and saw Dennis sitting beside the window.Without wasting time, she approached him. The sooner she finished with him, the sooner she would be able to get back to the hospital.She could only hope that Austin would keep Justin occupied so he wouldn't figure out the fact that she had left without hospital and without the guards."Hey," She greeted as she took her seat opposite him."Hi," Dennis replied. "What would you like to have?" He asked."I'm not in the mood to have anything, Dennis," Jasmine said. "Why did you call me here
Justin wasn’t expecting Jasmine to act so boldly and so he was stunned when she got on her toes and captured his lips.But before he could react, she let go of his lips making him frown.“I can never have any feelings for Dennis, because I have feelings for you,” Jasmine revealed. “I don’t how you did it but you made me fall for you; the man I once hated and I…”Jasmine stopped talking and gasped sharply when Justin suddenly grabbed her by the waist and pushed her to the door. “You don’t like Dennis?” he asked, cupping her chin and tilting her head up so she would look at him.“Never, I only have feelings for you and I can’t imagine myself having feelings for any other man,” Jasmine confessed.And that was exactly what Justin needed to hear. He then leaned in and captured her lips for a breathtaking kiss, conveying his feelings through them.The kiss made Jasmine legs go numb. She quickly wrapped her hands around his neck to prevent her from falling. Justin bent, put his hands around

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
