Jasmine woke up the next day to the sound of someone knocking on her door. She groaned in annoyance as she was woken up from her sleep. “Jasmine, open the door,” she heard Justin yell as he increased his banging.Without opening her eyes, she walked over to the door and opened it. “Why are you disturbing me so early in the morning?” she asked in annoyance.“Well honey, it’s already one in the afternoon and if we do not wake you up, you might sleep the day away,” A female voice answered.Jasmine’s sleep immediately disappeared upon hearing the woman’s voice and she opened her eyes. “Mrs Gerano!” she exclaimed in horror. Standing in front of her was Justin, Isabella and Charlotte. If she had known that Charlotte and Isabella were there, she would have opened the door much sooner and she wouldn’t have snapped in irritation. Charlotte couldn’t control her laughter on seeing Jasmine’s horrified look. It reminded her of one time when she had overslept all thanks to Sebastian making her wo
“What do you want to eat?” Justin asked Jasmine as they returned back to his car. This made Jasmine a little surprised. Was Justin really that considerate or did he have something up his sleeve? “What?” Justin asked when he saw the suspicious look Jasmine was giving him. “Why are you being so nice to me?” Jasmine asked suspiciously.“Why can’t I be so nice to my darling girlfriend especially after she had a terrible day?” Justin replied.Jasmine rolled her eyes at his words. Did he really think she was a fool? “First off, I’m not your girlfriend, secondly, you have no soul so no you can’t be nice,” she answered bluntly.Justin gasped and clutched his chest pretending that he was hurt by Jasmine’s words. “Whether you like it or not, you are my girlfriend and secondly, I do have a soul. I wouldn’t be doing so much for you if I didn’t.”Jasmine rolled her eyes one last time and got into the car. She was very tired and not in the mood to argue with Justin; a game she was sure to lose
Jasmine finished sorting and making a report on the files around twelve in the midnight. She was beyond tired but she managed to drag herself upstairs. Just as she was about to enter her room, she saw someone standing outside on the balcony.There was only one man in the mansion and that meant that the one standing outside was Justin. But what was he doing outside so late at night? It was very chilly outside and he wasn’t dressed to handle it.Jasmine shook her head and got into her room. She wasn’t supposed to be worried about Justin and whether he would catch a cold. He was a grown man who could take care of himself. She got into her bed and closed her eyes to sleep. However, she was unable to fall asleep and this was frustrating considering how tired she was. Her mind kept on thinking about Justin and what he was doing on the balcony. She tried to get her mind off him but she was unable to do so. She got up and sat on her bed when she couldn’t take it anymore. She sighed in defe
Ella arrived at the Gerano company fifteen minutes later. She didn't need to wait at the reception like she didn't at Isabella's company as she already knew which floor Austin's office was and so she headed straight to the private elevator.She arrived on the floor where Austin's office was moments later and after speaking to the receptionist she was told that she could go to Austin's office.Thankfully Isabella had already called beforehand and told them that somebody from her company would be coming there and so the receptionist didn't give her much trouble like the one she had encountered earlier.After getting directions from the receptionist, she finally arrived at Austin's office. She took a deep breath before knocking on the door. She heard a familiar voice telling her to come in.She took another deep breath before entering Austin's office. She saw him sitting at his desk and reading some files. He was so engrossed in the files that he didn't even bother to look at who had en
“What are you doing?” Justin asked Jasmine in a cold voice. He had told her before leaving her room to get dressed. Twenty minutes later and she still hadn’t gotten dressed. She hadn’t left the position he left her in.This got Justin a bit irritated. Maybe buying her a phone was not a really good idea. “I was talking to Ella before you snatched my phone away from me,” Jasmine answered, acting as if Justin’s annoyed look didn’t have any effect on her.“You know, I bought you this phone, I can take it away,” Justin asserted.“That’s not how gifts work. You clearly said that the phone was for me and so you have no right to take my phone away from me,” Jasmine retorted and tried to reach for her phone.Justin however raised his hand up making it impossible for Jasmine to reach it as he was much taller than her. “No, I said the bag was yours, not the phone,” he pointed out.“Give me my phone, I want to read Ella’s message,” Jasmine protested as she jumped up, trying to reach her phone.
Jasmine reminisced about the past. Whenever she would celebrate happy occasions with her mother, she would always wish her father was there with her. Papa bear was the closest she had to experiencing fatherly love.While Jasmine was busy reminiscing about her past, Justin mind was trying to find a loophole in the ‘papa bear’s’ story. Who was this person and why was he sending Jasmine gifts?Well he knew why but WHY?The sound of the doors opening brought them both out of their thoughts. They came out and headed straight to their car. Just as they were about to enter their car, someone called Jasmine.She turned towards the direction where the caller’s voice had come from and saw her elder brother Chase walking towards her and beside him was none other than Chloe. 'How so unexpected,' Jasmine muttered sarcastically to herself. Even though Chase wasn't as brutal and sinister as his mother and sister, he wasn’t much different from them. He would always allow his friends to bully her a
"What the hell is wrong with you and why are you so stubborn?" Ella asked angrily."I should ask you the same thing. Why the hell are you so dumb?"Austin retorted.You know what, your sister thinking we could work together was a big mistake," Ella scoffed in anger."For the first time today we finally agreed as you said something sensible, you and I don't go well together," Austin quipped.They were currently in Isabella company's workshop trying to figure out a plan for the launching of the new designs from the L'oread company.This was Austin mother's company which he was now handling. Normally, it was always Charlotte Isabella and Danielle that would always handle it.But since her son had come back Danielle handed over to him and, well, Isabella had other things to do and so she assigned Ella to work along with Austin to figure out something.They had been on this issue for over two hours now and whenever Ella would suggest something Austin would brush it aside saying it was dumb
"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

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
