Jasmine frowned as she heard the sound of crashing waves so distinctly. She remembered that the house she was staying in was near the beach, but only now did she realize how loud the sound of the waves was. Even with her eyes closed, the loud sound of the waves drew nearer, making Jasmine open her eyes wide.At that moment, Jasmine felt like she was choking. She struggled to move and breathe. All around her was water. Jasmine didn't know why she was in the water. Was she drowning? Had Seth thrown her into the sea? Her mind was filled with terrible thoughts.In the next moment, Jasmine realized she was facing a large glass barrier. Was she in an aguarium? she thought, still trying to hold her breath. Sguinting her eyes, she could vaguely see the view in front of her. It was the room she was staying in. Then who is that? Jasmine thought when she saw two familiar silhouettes in her room. Jasmine's eyes widened when she saw it was Seth and Monica. It was then that Jasmine knew the video r
Jasmine didn't know when she fell asleep. The last thing she remembered was the tears that kept flowing after her argument with Seth. The man she loved deeply had managed to restrain her this far. Her head felt heavy, her eyes swollen, and her body tired as if all her energy had been drained just to cry over the fate of this love, full of trials.That morning, Jasmine woke up in Seth's embrace. The warmth of Seth's body, which had been her shelter, now felt like shackles restraining her. Seth gently kissed her neck, a gesture that usually made Jasmine feel calm, but this time only made her more restless. She gripped the blanket around her, seeking refuge from the mixed emotions flooding her heart."Mine, are you awake?" Seth asked softly, but with anxiety in his voice. Jasmine didn't answer, just remained silent in uncertainty. Seth, feeling no response, tried again. "You've been crying for too long, Mine. Can such sadness stay with me? Am I not enough for you, Mine?"Jasmine remained
Seth immediately turned around, facing a man who had just entered a private room. This room, hidden in a corner of a luxurious restaurant, was specially reserved by Seth for a meeting with someone who always made him lose his sanity. Every time he met Danzell, there was a strong urge within him to eliminate the man. Of course, this feeling didn't arise without reason.Danzell strode in with determination. His handsome face and angry expression reflected the tension filling the room. Without preamble, he asked, "Where are you hiding Jasmine?"Seth just smirked, cunningly, observing Danzell with a victorious gaze. "Haven't you heard from our parents that your engagement with her was canceled due to health reasons? So, don't ever hope for anything from my beloved sister again," Seth said, with a threatening tone. However, Danzell wasn't intimidated at all. He stepped closer to Seth, their height difference only a few centimeters, but it didn't diminish Seth's courage."Do you think I'll
Seth gazed at the closed door of Jasmine's room, which always remained tightly shut. It was his decision, a non-negotiable one. Seth hadn't dared to let Jasmine out of her room, not even for a stroll around the carefully prepared house. The house was located far from the hustle and bustle of the big city, far from people who might harm or even take Jasmine away from him.Jasmine's room door was equipped with sophisticated sensors that only Seth could access. Only he could open the door, unless he authorized his subordinates by providing specific codes. This security system was part of the protection he had prepared, ensuring that Jasmine was always safe inside the room.As Seth opened the door, he saw Jasmine turn and look at him. As reported by his subordinate a while ago, there were some scattered books on the floor. But currently, Jasmine seemed focused on a picture book in front of her. She was busy with the scribbles on the paper, deeply immersed in her imaginary world."Mine," S
Jasmine jolted from her sleep, having just dozed off after waiting all day for Seth who hadn't visited her. This situation made her feel utterly depressed, staying silent in the room that felt like a prison. The walls seemed to close in on her, adding to the endless anxiety.Since morning, only one person had entered her room, a servant delivering food. Jasmine felt desperate with the monotony of her days. She decided to set aside the book that had been keeping her company and walked towards the door, the only way out of her room that felt like a prison. With trembling hands, she reached out to try to open the door. Of course, her effort failed."Is anyone out there?" Jasmine called out while banging on the door loudly. There was no answer."Seth, are you out there? I'm bored! Get me out of here, Seth!" she exclaimed in frustration. The next moment, the intercom on the wall emitted a static sound."Can I help you, Miss?" the cold voice came from the intercom, breaking the silence."He
Jasmine looked over at Seth, who had been busy with his phone, his fingers dancing gracefully across the screen. Her mind drifted to Seth's earlier words about their plan to move to a house he had prepared. According to Seth, the house was much better, more beautiful. But Jasmine could only feel emptiness in her heart. The room she currently occupied, despite being lived in for weeks, still felt unfamiliar. And now, Seth was going to take her to a new place. The thought made Jasmine feel even more unsettled.With slow steps, Jasmine rose from her seat and walked towards the large window. From there, she could see the outside world, even if it was just the vast expanse of endless sea. Jasmine squeezed her fingers on the window sill, contemplating how she had never set foot on the beach that seemed far in the distance. Since they arrived at this place, the beach had always been an unreachable sight."Mine," Seth's voice suddenly sounded soft in her ear, making Jasmine lightly startle. S
This is the first time Jasmine has stepped out of the room she had occupied for who knows how many weeks. The large house with its calm white ambiance welcomed her. A spacious and bright room greeted her, with cold marble floors beneath her feet. Jasmine glanced at Seth who kept holding her waist tightly, as if not wanting to let her go even an inch away from his side."The house is beautiful, Seth," Jasmine said, trying to lighten the strange atmosphere with a simple compliment.Seth smiled faintly, but his eyes remained cautious. "Thank you, Jasmine."Jasmine felt something was wrong. "Why didn't you let me out of the room? If you had let me walk around this house, it would have surely alleviated my boredom a bit," Jasmine complained, her voice sounding faint but full of emphasis.Seth just remained silent, his smile fading. They walked down the stairs, and Jasmine was slightly surprised to see many people dressed in black downstairs, maybe around ten people, positioned alertly."Se
Jasmine fell silent, watching Seth as he busied himself with the documents in front of him. After a few days of staying in the new place, Jasmine felt much better. Seth no longer confined her to a room. Although Jasmine wasn't free to go outside yet, at least Seth allowed her to move around the house. Jasmine's steps were no longer confined to just one room. She hoped that in the future, Seth would trust her enough to be free again, although she didn't hope to return to the modeling world that had made her name."If you're tired, you can sleep first, mine," Seth said, interrupting Jasmine's thoughts."No, I still want to keep you company while you work," Jasmine replied, wrapping herself in the thick blanket around her body. The air in this new place was colder than usual, and the surroundings looked more lush and peaceful. Jasmine felt a little more at peace, although there were still lingering worries in her heart.Jasmine didn't know exactly where they were living now, but she was
