Justin looked at his watch and saw that it was time for he and Jasmine to leave for the inspections on their sites.He stood up with the intention of leaving. However, his office door opened before he could open it. "What are you doing here?!" Justin snapped when he saw who it was. Of course there were a limited number of people that would enter his office without knocking."What happened at the base last night?" Austin asked in a serious tone. His voice and facial expression showed that he wasn't in the mood for jokes.What do you mean? Justin asked, feigning innocence. However Austin was really in a serious mood as he did not have time for his brother's dumb game."Who did you kill last night?" Austin asked. "How do you know I killed somebody?" Justin asked, refusing to give in to Austin."You weren't at home last night when I came. You didn't return home till twelve in the midnight. I went to the base this morning and I saw two bodies being transported to Clark's base." Austin p
"One more drink," Jasmine requested. She was currently in a nightclub drowning her sorrow out with alcohol. That was the quickest solution she could come up with to forget her situation. She didn't see any alcohol in her house and so, she came to the club.The male bartender shook his head. "Ma'am, you've already finished a bottle of alcohol. It's lethal to try to finish the second bottle," he stated."Don't worry about me. I have a high alcohol tolerance level. Just give me the second bottle," Jasmine ordered.The bartender shook his head once again and sighed before pouring her another glass of alcohol.Jasmine drowned the glasses one after the other. Her head was spinning and her vision was starting to get blurry but she ignored it and gulped down another glass of alcohol.She knew she would regret it in the morning but she didn't care at that moment. All she wanted was to drown her sorrows in the alcohol.Something suddenly popped up in her mind and she signaled to the bartender
"Has anyone told you that you are the world's biggest asshole?" Jasmine suddenly asked out of nowhere.She herself was shocked by her sudden question as she wasn't planning on saying that but it seemed the alcohol in her system had other plans."Excuse me?" Justin replied, not sure that he had heard Jasmine right. Did she just call him an asshole? "What did you just say?" He asked. However there was no response from Jasmine. He turned to her side and saw that she was already asleep. 'So fast?' He muttered to himself. She had just asked him a question and she was already asleep.He sighed and shook his head. It was really late which meant that there weren't many cars on the highway and so he increased his speed. He arrived at his mansion ten minutes later and he saw that the helpers were still waiting for him. Justin got out of the car and turned to Patricia, the head of the helpers and said, "Get the guest room ready."He turned to the passenger seat and opened the door. Justin di
Justin looked at the lady who had passed out on his shoulder. 'Finally, you're asleep,' he muttered to himself as he lifted Jasmine up.He carried her out of the bathroom and back to the room. As he was about to drop her on the bed, he realized something.Her clothes were completely drenched from staying under the shower. He couldn't leave her like this as she would fall sick if she had to sleep in her cold clothes.But she had no clothes to wear. Unless…Justin placed Jasmine down on the couch and rushed to his room and into his closet. He searched through his clothes looking for something that Jasmine could wear.Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed a pink set of pyjamas sitting in the cloth rack.His mother knew that he wasn't a fan of bright colors and he avoided wearing them so why did she buy such an outfit for him.On getting to the outfit, he noticed there was a note on it. "You should wear more bright colors so your colourless life, can be colorful, signed Isabella," wa
Jasmine clenched her fist and gritted her teeth in anger. Wasn't Justin Gerano supposed to be a cold man who rarely talked to people who weren't his family? It seemed all the rumors about him were wrong as he was just as annoying as the media perceived Austin Gerano to be. "Listen, I'll tell the whole world what you're doing to me," she threatened, hoping he would let her go to save his reputation.Justin stood up from his seat and stood and rested on the table. "That will only happen if I let you out of here and besides, do you really think anyone would believe I kidnapped my girlfriend?" Jasmine shuddered for the umpteenth time on hearing Justin call her his girlfriend. "For the hundredth time, I am not your girlfriend!""The whole world thinks you are my girlfriend and you kissed me which makes you my girlfriend."Jasmine touched the bridge of her nose trying to get herself to calm down. It seemed no matter how much she refuted his claim, he wasn't going to stop calling her his
As much as Jasmine was scared of Sebastian and Charlotte, she immediately wished they had not left as she was now all alone with the one person whom she was trying to avoid.Justin was also not happy that he was left all alone with Jasmine. What was he supposed to say to her after that passionate kiss they had just shared?And what made matters worse was the fact that Jasmine wasn't drunk so he couldn't twist things to his benefit.He looked down and noticed that his chest was opened. He immediately remembered Jasmine unbuttoning the buttons.It felt really good when she touched his chest. His body heated up on just remembering. He quickly shook his head to get himself to return back to reality.He turned to leave his room but as he did, he remembered his mother’s threat. Shit, he had no choice but to do as she said. And so, he turned back and looked at Jasmine who was trying to sneak away.He rolled his eyes at her action. Did she seriously think that she would be able to make it out
“That’s payback for ruining the beautiful day I was supposed to have with my wife. If something like this happens again, then I promise that I’ll do something worse.”Justin read his father’s message over and over again. Sebastian made it look like he was some stranger who had interrupted him and Charlotte. Why was his father so cruel even to his own son? At least now. It could be said that Justin got his unforgiving nature from his father.He decided not to reply to his father as he was sure his father would make his life more miserable. He wanted someone he could vent his irritation on and the first person that came to his mind was Austin.Justin quickly proceeded to text his brother but he stopped when he remembered that he and Austin had gotten into a fight and they were not talking to each other. He dropped his phone and decided to work on some files he had left pending at the office. *****Jasmine finally arrived home after spending an annoying day at Justin’s house. It fel
"My darling girlfriend, I believe you owe me a kiss," he whispered into her ears.Jasmine froze on her spot as she remembered the promise she had made to him if he won the challenge. Was he really intending to get a kiss from her?“You can’t be serious?!” Jasmine stated, although it was more of asking him a question.Justin moved Jasmine’s hair to the other side and rested his head on her shoulder making her inhale sharply. “Oh, I'm serious. I want my kiss right here and right now,” he replied. “Let go of me and I’ll give you your kiss,” Jasmine said to him.Justin chuckled as she knew that she just wanted to escape from his clutches but he still let her go. Afterall, he wanted to please his darling ‘girlfriend’.Jasmine on seeing that he had removed his hands from her waist, quickly stood up and turned to face Justin. Her face was as red as an apple and if steam couldn’t come out of her ears and nose, then it would have, considering how angry she was at that moment. “Why did you c

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
