“Ma’am you’re all done,” the makeup artist said to Jasmine. She looked at the mirror and awed in amazement as she couldn’t believe that she was the reflection she was looking at in the mirror.The makeup artist chose to do a glittery smokey eye makeup which made her eyes pop. The entire makeup made her look sexy, bold and daring. This was a real confidence booster as that was how she was supposed to act tonight.She knew she was a beautiful woman but damn she looked more beautiful and stunning than ever. The makeup artist had transformed her. And to think she was afraid to let him do her makeup.This was due to the fact that her sister, Chloe once paid off a man who was a makeup artist to ruin her face during her graduation ceremony in high school. Luckily for her, Ella was an expert in makeup and she was able to come through for her.Ever since that day, she refused to go to any makeup artist and she refused to learn how to do it. She didn’t really feel it though as she rarely wor
Jasmine had fun watching her sister clench her fist and grit her teeth in anger. Even though Chloe was a dumb person who didn’t always think before she act, she didn’t behave recklessly this time as she knew that they were a lot of people who would be witnesses to any stunt she tried.“You’re going to regret what you just said to me,” Chloe said to Jasmine.“With a man like Justin Gerano who supports me, I highly doubt that you will be able to touch even a hair on my skin,” Jasmine retorted, further infuriating Chloe.From the back, Justin smiled to himself when he heard Jasmine’s words. She was oblivious to the fact that the necklace she was wearing had a microphone in it which was connected to Justin’s other ear.He had really come prepared for this event and whatever stunt the Baxters were going to pull. He was happy to see that Jasmine was no longer that weak girl her family bullied.She was finally standing up to the bastards who had made her life a living hell. Plus, she was ev
“Relax, I’m going to handle it,” Justin whispered into Jasmine’s ear when he felt her shaking in his arms.“I’m sorry I’m bothering you once again,” Jasmine apologized and quickly bit her lips to stop herself from crying. Due to her and her family issues, he would have his hand full once again trying to protect her. “Stop talking nonsense, you’re not a bother!” Justin scolded as he hugged her and rubbed her back to get her to calm down. He turned to his side and gave Cole a signal.The latter nodded and immediately stepped forward to carry the half-conscious man away. Justin didn’t want Jasmine to see the man being carried away so she wouldn’t get even more agitated and so he hugged her till they were out of sight.After making sure she was alright, he released her grip and let her go. “Thank you Dennis for saving me tonight,” she said. Justin, who had been ignoring his presence, scowled in a low voice when Jasmine acknowledged it.“It’s no problem Jasmine,” Dennis replied with a
“Come, you have to cook me dinner,” Justin said as he got down from the car.“What do you want to eat?” Jasmine asked on their way into the mansion. “Surprise me,” Justin responded as he pulled Jasmine into the mansion.****Austin shut the file on his lap in anger. He had just finished reading the file on Donavan and Ella and all he could feel was rage, burning rage.Some people truly didn’t deserve to be alive and Donavan was one of them. He could easily just reveal all he had found out to Clark but that would affect Ella as well.And speaking of Ella, he found out that she was no saint at all. She was a very dangerous woman who he would have to be weary of. After reading the file, he found out that her intentions towards Clark weren't good at all; she and Donavan had the same sick intentions.Dark past or not, there was no way he would allow her to succeed in her plan to destroy Clark as it would affect Isabella. He was glad that he had finally found out the truth as that would m
Jasmine jerked up suddenly from her sleep. Her heart was pounding in her chest while her entire body was shaking and covered in her sweat.She was like this because she just had a nightmare that Justin was covered in blood. She didn’t know if it was his or another person’s own as she was unable to get close to him for a reason she didn’t remember.After calming down a bit, she looked at her surroundings and saw that she was in a room. She clearly rembered that she fell asleep in her study so what the hell was she doing in her room?Upon seeing that Justin wasn’t sitting beside her any longer, she jumped out of her bed and went outside to look for him. However she was unable to find him even after searching the entire mansion.Her anxiousness increased when she couldn’t find Justin anywhere. She really hoped her nightmare was just a nightmare. As she was about to head upstairs to call Justin, she heard the front door open and someone coming in.It was two in the morning, nobody coul
Why are you here?" Austin asked straight to the point. Ella smiled at him. "Do you really think the best place to have the discussion is here?" She asked as she glanced at the number of people that were passing by."In the conference room now!" Austin ordered and turned not bothering to see if Ella was following him or not. Ella sighed and got up to follow Austin. There was no point in hiding the reason why she was here anymore.Austin needed to know that his life was in danger so he would be able to take caution and if possible catch the culprit who was sent.Austin finally got to the conference room and entered it. He met the people with whom he was supposed to have a meeting with already seated.Most of the people who had complained about the fact that Austin was late zipped up their mouths when they saw the cold and furious look on his face.The man was a playful person but once he was angry, he was no less dangerous than his twin brother. Some even thought that he was even more
Having been through such a traumatic past, she had to grow up very quickly. And over the years Ella had conditioned herself to be immune to anything and everything.She hardly thought about what it would be like if she had a normal childhood as she didn’t care about that anymore. At least, that was what she thought until hearing those words come out of Austin's mouth.Even though she never thought about her childhood, she still kept it buried deep down in her heart and also her pain. Austin frowned when he saw tears coming out of Ella's eyes. It was not his intention to make her cry. He was only telling her what she needed to know but he unknowingly triggered memories of the past.He patted Ella’s back and she subconsciously hugged him back and buried her face in his shoulder. “It’s okay, I'm here,” he whispered to her as he kept on patting my back.“He raped me not once but countless times,” Ella muffled in a low voice but not too low that Austin couldn’t hear.“It’s going to be oka
“The same anonymous organization we have been dealing with,” Marcelo answered. “If you do not want me to kill you here and now, I suggest you get out of my sight and find out who is behind this damn organization!'' Sebastian roared in anger.“Yes sir,” Marcelo bowed and immediately left.As he left, someone approached the family. It was the doctor who was in charge of Ella’s surgery. After introducing who he was, he went straight down to business.“Her condition is really critical, she has lost a lot of blood and if we do not replace it soon, she will die,” he told the family.“Then what are you waiting for, doctor, start the damn blood transfusion!” Charlotte yelled in anger. “Well ma’am, the victim’s blood type is O negative and we are out of it in the blood bank,” he revealed to the family.“What nonsense are you saying to us!” Charlotte exclaimed. “We donate a lot to this hospital and you’re telling me that you don’t even have blood?”“Mom calm down!'' Clark said to Charlotte as

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
