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 sat on a wooden bench in the backyard, engrossed in the book on her lap. Occasionally, her eyes glanced at the slowly falling leaves, creating a beautiful orange carpet around her. The cold air started to creep in, making Jasmine tighten her scarf around her neck. A gentle breeze blew, carrying the soothing yet slightly melancholic scent of autumn.It had been over a month since she moved to this new place with Seth. Jasmine still found it hard to call this place home. To Jasmine, home should evoke warmth and familiarity, something she didn't feel here. It was too unfamiliar, too quiet, despite being spacious and grand.For the past two months, Jasmine had hardly gone out. She shut herself away from the crowds, leaving behind the noisy outside world. Her phone lay untouched somewhere. Without internet, she chose books as her escape, painting to calm her mind, listening to music from the old vinyl records, which were vintage but charming, and occasionally watching pre-downloade

    Jasmine walked down the grand staircase made of mahogany wood, her hand touching the smooth railing, reminding her of the life she left behind. As usual, there were five guards stationed downstairs in ready positions. This sight had started to become familiar to Jasmine, although she wasn't entirely comfortable with their presence yet.She headed towards the spacious dining table with its beautifully carved wooden surface and comfortable chairs. The servants looked surprised to see Jasmine coming down earlier than usual. They were accustomed to the quiet morning routine before Jasmine appeared."I'm sorry, Miss. We'll prepare your breakfast right away," one of the servants quickly said, bowing respectfully to Jasmine."No need to rush, I just want to have some juice first," Jasmine said gently, giving a small smile to reassure the servant. "You can continue your work."The servant nodded and quickly went back to work, leaving Jasmine to sit on one of the comfortable dining chairs. Her

    Jasmine waited anxiously in the dimly lit basement. Her heart was racing, as if it wanted to leap out of her chest. It had been almost an hour since she parted ways with Seth and instructed him to wait here, and every passing second only heightened her anxiety. Her mind was filled with dreadful thoughts, yet she tried to convince herself that Seth must have a good reason for being late.The basement was cold and damp, with rough stone walls and a dusty floor. There was only a single hanging lamp from the ceiling, casting a dim yellow light. Jasmine stood restlessly, occasionally glancing towards the old wooden door at the end of the room, hoping it would open soon and reveal the familiar figure of Seth.Finally, the creak of the opening door broke the silence. Jasmine let out a sigh of relief, but as the door swung wide open, instead of Seth, another figure she knew well appeared – Danzell. He entered calmly with a sharp gaze that sent shivers down Jasmine's spine."Danzell?" Jasmine

    The dark and damp room felt increasingly claustrophobic as Jasmine struggled, trying to free herself from Danzell's grasp. Her breath was ragged, her chest heaving rapidly, while her legs continued to kick desperately in an attempt to reach freedom. However, Danzell, with his patience wearing thin, decided to take drastic action."Listen, Jasmine! Listen!" Danzell shouted as he grabbed ropes and cloth. In an instant, he bound Jasmine's hands and feet, then gagged her with the cloth to ensure she stayed quiet.Jasmine's eyes widened, filled with deep hatred. She tried to break free, but the bonds were too tight. Her body trembled between anger and fear. Danzell sighed deeply, then sat in front of her."You forced me to do this, Jasmine," he said, his voice calm but firm. "I didn't want to, but you have to listen to my explanation."Jasmine could only glare at him sharply, her mouth tightly sealed by the cloth. Slowly, Danzell began to speak, his eyes staring into the distance as if rec

    Seth winced in pain as his trusted doctor removed the bullet lodged in his abdomen and arm. His face tensed, lips tightly sealed to endure the piercing pain. Several curses escaped his lips, not only from the physical pain but also from the lingering loss of Jasmine."Damn it," Seth muttered, his breaths coming in ragged.The doctor worked meticulously, focused on his task despite Seth's discomfort. After what felt like forever, the bullet was finally removed.When the doctor finished, Seth asked hoarsely, "Will... will the wounds be okay?"The doctor nodded, "We've done our best. Now you need rest."Seth breathed a sigh of relief, but his mind still lingered on Jasmine. He was sure that by now, Danzell had revealed everything to her. And now, he needed to quickly devise a plan to bring Jasmine back to him."Doc, I need to get out of here," Seth said firmly.The doctor shook his head. "I strongly advise you to rest, Mr. Seth. Your gunshot wounds are not fully healed yet."Seth ignored

    Seth stared at the large mirror in front of him. Two gunshot wounds, still not fully healed, were now clearly visible with the bandages still perfectly attached to his body. Every small movement made him grimace, but the physical pain wasn't what tortured him the most. His mind was constantly haunted by Jasmine's face, missing somewhere, in the hands of Danzell who ruined all his plans.Seth clenched his jaw tightly, anger boiling inside his chest. How could Danzell just vanish with Jasmine like that? Seth had mobilized all his men to search, but to no avail. Long nights were spent filled with tension and disappointment. And when they failed, his anger often exploded."Damn it!" Seth yelled, slamming the medicine bottle on the table. Once again, his men came back empty-handed. "Are you guys working or just pretending?""S-sorry, Boss," one of his men replied, his face pale. "We've tried every place we know."Seth sighed heavily, rubbing his face roughly. "Get out. I need some time alo

    Jasmine gazed at the tree that now stood tall without a single leaf clinging to its branches. Autumn was almost over, and the air was growing colder, biting into her skin. Her breath appeared almost frozen in the cold weather around her, creating a thin mist in the air. She tightened her jacket, trying to fend off the creeping cold.Suddenly, a warm scarf wrapped around her neck. Startled, Jasmine turned around to find Danzell standing behind her with a warm smile."Do you want to go for a walk outside?" he asked in a strangely calming, friendly tone.Jasmine looked at Danzell with confusion. "You're letting me walk outside, beyond this house?" she asked, her voice full of disbelief."Yes, if you want to, why not? Though you might feel a bit uncomfortable because I'll have my men follow you. You know, it's not safe right now," Danzell replied, looking at her with understanding. "And there might be some people who recognize you as Jasmine Harold. There’s been some bad news about you, a

    Today, Jasmine decided to make a second attempt to escape. She knew that continually asking to go for walks every day would be very suspicious. This time, Jasmine would try to escape directly from the house on her own.First, Jasmine searched for tools like a knife or other sharp objects that could aid her escape. Second, she had to know the times when the guards changed shifts in the middle of the night. And third, she had to plan meticulously by identifying places that the guards rarely patrolled, so she could slip out undetected.She scribbled a map in her notebook, plotting a route she had studied over the past few days during her outings. She knew where the bus stop was and the route to the subway. However, while she was engrossed in her map, someone suddenly took the book from her hands. Jasmine was startled to find Danzell had entered her room without her noticing.“What are you drawing?” Danzell asked, examining the scribbles in Jasmine’s notebook.Jasmine quickly thought of a

    Jasmine gazed at Lily, who was now sleeping soundly in her bassinet. The quiet night was accompanied by the gentle ticking of the wall clock. Moonlight streamed through the window, providing just enough dim light to see her daughter's tiny face. Jasmine slowly reached out her hand, caressing the soft, rosy cheek as gently as a cloud. Her touch was so delicate, as if she feared disturbing the sweet dreams that might be filling Lily's mind."My child," she whispered softly, barely audible. "You mean everything to me."Since Lily's arrival, Jasmine felt that happiness had finally found its way to her. A feeling that once seemed so foreign now blossomed in her heart. The pain she had once endured seemed repaid in full by Lily's presence. A small smile formed on her lips as she remembered the long nights filled with tears, now replaced by the baby's small laughs and giggles.Yet, behind all this happiness, there was a shadow of fear that constantly haunted Jasmine. Sometimes, she feared th

    Seth walked quickly towards the nursery, cold sweat running down his temples. Panic gripped him after realizing the fatal mistake he had just made. "How could I forget that bag?" he thought, frantically. His briefcase contained important documents that should never fall into Jasmine’s hands. He needed to retrieve them before Jasmine opened it.However, as the nursery door opened, he saw his worst fear realized. Jasmine stood there, holding the document he wanted to keep from her. Her eyes widened as she read its contents, then she looked at Seth with a gaze full of questions and disappointment."Seth, what does this mean?" Jasmine's voice trembled, reflecting the turmoil in her heart. She held up the document, pointing it at Seth. "It says that I'm not Mommy's child. How is that possible?"Seth stood stunned in the doorway, feeling as if the world was collapsing around him. He knew this moment would come, the moment he had feared for so long. "Jasmine, let me explain," he said, trying

    Jasmine glanced at the clock on the wall, which showed ten in the morning. Time seemed to move at a snail's pace, slow and torturous. Her impatience waiting for their baby’s birth often left Jasmine confused about how to spend her days.Today, she decided to organize the baby items she had just bought with Seth. With a smile on her face, Jasmine pulled out tiny socks from the shopping bag, a blue and white combination that looked adorable in her hands. She then moved on to the clothes, hats, and shoes, feeling her heart swell with joy as she imagined the little angel who would soon be in their midst.In the middle of tidying up, Jasmine suddenly remembered something. "The cute sweater we bought, where did I put it?" she thought, furrowing her brow. With her already large belly, she slowly rummaged through the shopping bags around her. However, the sweater was nowhere to be found."Ah, where did I put it?" Jasmine grew more anxious. She decided to search in another room, trying to reca

    Jasmine had spent the entire day in silence, her mind in turmoil. Monica's words kept replaying in her head, making her restless. Jasmine wasn't sure what Monica intended by mentioning those things, especially since she had never intended to discuss her pregnancy, neither publicly nor with her family.She felt like nobody cared about her, so she assumed people wouldn't be too interested in her latest news, including her mother, Evelyn. However, Monica's words made Jasmine reconsider. Should she inform her mother and Lucas about this happy news? What if they got angry and disapproved, especially if they found out it was Seth's child?Jasmine didn't know what steps to take. Monica had left a puzzle about what Seth knew about Evelyn's news. Jasmine started to wonder if Seth was keeping a secret from her."Mine," Seth said, now sitting beside Jasmine. Jasmine was startled, not even realizing Seth had come home."Seth, you're back? When did you come in?" Jasmine asked again, making Seth lo

    Monica sat in the backseat of her luxurious car, her black sunglasses framing her graceful face. Her sharp gaze was fixed on a modest house not far from where her car was parked by the roadside. Nearly ten minutes had passed, and she remained patiently waiting, counting each passing second."Are you sure this is their house?" Monica broke the silence with a low yet firm tone, her eyes still glued to the door of the house.The bespectacled man sitting next to the driver turned to Monica. "Yes, Miss. Miss Jasmine used to live here first, and Mr. Seth joined her just a few weeks ago," he explained calmly.Monica nodded slowly, but her patience was wearing thin. "Should I find out more, Charles?" offered Charles, Monica's personal secretary, in a polite yet attentive manner.Monica shook her head. "No need, let's just wait. I have plenty of time today." Her voice exuded confidence, though a hint of impatience flickered across her face.Time crawled by, but Monica's patience was finally re

    Seth looked over at Jasmine, who was busy with the flower arrangement in front of her. The room was filled with the fresh fragrance of flowers, creating a calm and warm atmosphere. Seeing his wife engrossed in her work, Seth smiled. He walked over, carrying a glass of Jasmine's favorite juice."Beautiful flowers," Seth said softly, enough to make Jasmine look up. She greeted her husband's smile with a sweet smile of her own."Thank you," Jasmine replied, gently taking the juice from Seth's hand. "You always know how to make me feel better.""Drink it slowly. I need to call Fito first," Seth said, gently touching Jasmine's shoulder. Jasmine nodded slowly, understanding that Seth always had many things to take care of.Seth walked away with his phone in hand, but his eyes occasionally glanced at Jasmine, who was once again focused on her flowers. With her growing belly, Jasmine looked so beautiful and graceful. She always found peace in arranging those flowers.While waiting for the cal

    Seth woke up to the gentle movement beside him. He immediately sat up, his eyes scanning the darkness as he saw Jasmine trying to get out of bed."Mine, where are you going?" he asked, his voice hoarse from just waking up."I just need to go to the bathroom," Jasmine replied, her voice soft but clear.Seth glanced at the clock on the bedside table. It was still early morning, and he realized it was probably the umpteenth time Jasmine had gone to the bathroom that night."Are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" he asked, wanting to make sure Jasmine was alright.Jasmine smiled softly and nodded. "I'm fine. I talked to the doctor, and this is normal for someone as far along as I am in my pregnancy."Seth sighed, then without a word, he got out of bed and lifted Jasmine into his arms. Jasmine let out a small squeal."Seth, put me down. You should get some sleep. I can go to the bathroom by myself," Jasmine protested, but Seth didn't listen. He gently set her down near the bathroom

    The sun was already setting when Jasmine stepped out of the hospital. The cool evening air greeted her, bringing new hope after days filled with anxiety and pain. Seth was beside her, vigilant as always. He carefully watched Jasmine's steps, ensuring her every move was safe."Today, we finally get to go home," Jasmine murmured with a relieved tone. "Thank you for always being by my side."Seth just nodded, his smile warm and loving. The journey home felt shorter than usual. Perhaps it was because this time, they were no longer burdened by uncertainty. The modest house where Jasmine had been staying for the past few months now felt warmer and more inviting.Upon reaching the front door, Seth gently guided Jasmine inside. He ensured her every step was steady, leading her with great care. Jasmine looked around the interior of the house with sparkling eyes. This was the place that had given her a sense of security, and now, with Seth by her side, it felt even more complete."Do you need a

    Monica followed Seth’s firm and brisk steps. They moved through the quiet hospital corridors until they finally arrived at a small garden at the back of the building. The garden was peaceful, with only the sound of trickling water from a small fountain in the corner. Seth stopped and turned, staring at Monica with a sharp gaze.“How far will you take me?” asked Monica, her voice slightly trembling despite her effort to appear calm. She felt her heart beating faster than usual.Seth took a deep breath, trying to calm himself before speaking. “Tell me why you are here?” he asked, repeating the question he had asked several times along the way.Monica shrugged, displaying the indifference that often served as her shield. “I’ve told you, I’m just meeting an old friend. I’m not lying, I swear,” she replied casually. However, Seth was not easily convinced. He stepped closer, narrowing the distance between them, and stared at Monica with a look full of suspicion.“Don’t mess with me and Jasm
