"I thought that finally I could have a love life but..." Jasmine could not complete her sentence as she continued to sob. Cali rubbed her back soothingly. "Can you tell me what actually happened?" She asked very softly. Jasmine nodded while trying to control her tears. "When I first met Damien, it felt like we had a connection and we started spending time together. Then after a month, he proposed that we should go on a vacation to spend some time together. So, I agreed. I had started falling for him. (Sobbing again) But during that vacation, I came to his reality. He...he is married, Cali. He is fucking married and he has a son." She explained still in tears. Cali's eyes widened. She was shocked. She did not know what else to say. Then Jasmine continued. "And he is such a jerk. He had the audacity to tell me that I could still be his mistress and that I should not tell anything about this to his wife." She had angry tears in her eyes when she finished. Cali had also tears in her eyes
"So, now tell me, where were you and what were you doing that you are two hours late for the office?" He asked her in a low and absolutely calm tone. Though his voice held serenity, his clenched jaw showed her that he was anything but calm right now. She kept on staring at him for a while, then sighed."Sir, I am sorry for being late but I already wrote an undertaking about not being late again and I also mentioned there that I have had some personal issue for which I could not reach to the office on time. But it would not happen again, I swear." She explained. While saying this, her heart was crying remembering how her mother was looking laying on the hospital bed. She took a deep breathe in to control her emotions and looked up to see that his eyes were searching for her soul and she immediately held her head down, not being able to lock eyes with him. He lifted her face up with his fingers holding her chin ever so gently and made her look at him in the eyes. She did not even resist
(FLASHBACK continues...) "I know about your mother." He said and she was shocked on hearing that. How did he know when she did not even opened her mouth. She slowly looked up and gulped when she found that he was already looking at her in the eyes. He was trying to search for the confirmation in her eyes that what he had just said was true. And he found it. Her eyes became teary in an instant. His heart felt heavy seeing her like that. He got up from his seat and hugged her tightly and she did not resist him. She put her head against his stomach while her arms were snaked around his torso and she cried. She cried for her mother whom she did not wish to lose. She was her only light in this dark world. Though she was not her biological mother, she still loved her no less than her own. And she even told her about her being an orphan because she did not want her to find out on her own from others. Her heart was clenching thinking about her mother being in such a bad condition. Her kind, b
It was now showing eleven in the clock and he was still struggling to concentrate in his current work. His mind always kept drifting to his wife whom he had not seen for once since the morning. So, he decided to go see her during the lunch. But for now, he could not concentrate in his work at all. He stood up and went near his wall length window to relax his mind a bit but what he saw made him even more agitated. There stood the boy whose name was...whatever, whom his wife called her so-called brother. He was there just outside the office leaning against his car. Was he waiting for someone? But for whom? 'For your wife, idiot.' His consciousness replied making him go all the more crazy. But why would he wait for her? She was in the office, working. Then he must not be waiting for her. He argued with himself. Yeah right, he must be waiting for someone else then. But what he saw next, made his blood boil in his veins. His wife came out of the office and searched around the area, then wh
Cain reached his parents' mansion. When he got into the garage, he noticed another car already parked there. His brows knitted together. Who else was there in the mansion? Normally, his parents did not have any guest coming over to the mansion, instead they always met any of their business associates in a restaurant. And today his father had called him to discuss something. He was becoming more and more curious. So, he went inside and was welcomed by the warm hug of his mom. "My baby! Welcome home. Finally, after so long you are here. I have missed you being in this mansion. You should come here to meet us often. And definitely, should have some sleepovers here." She gushed ushering him in. "Sure mom, I will." He replied casually. He never showed much emotions to anyone, not even to his parents but he cared for them. "Now come on, let us go inside. Your father is waiting for you and you know, I have prepared your favourite roasted cottage cheese with gravy." She said excitedly. "Mo
"I have something important to discuss, about your business, son." Said his father and he nodded making himself comfortable on the couch he was sitting on. "So, Ivy wishes to merge their company with ours. It can be beneficial. Think about it, son." He explained and Cain thought about it thoroughly. It could be for their company's benefit but it had its own risks. So, it was a really big decision to make which he did not want to make all by himself. "It would be really great but...can I get some more time to think about it? You know, it is a big decision to make." He said slowly. His father nodded at him and Ivy frowned. "You are right. Take your time but do think about it, okay?" Cain nodded and looked at Ivy and said, "I am sorry, Ivy. I hope you understand why I am saying this." She nodded. "It is alright. I understand." She gave him a small smile he returned it apologetically. His father cleared his throat. "Alright. I guess I can leave you both to talk with each other. We wil
(Twenty one years ago) Continues...The black SUV had come to a halt infront of the huge mansion. The big bad mafia boss, Callix Russells, had finally returned home. But sadly, the situation in which he had to return was not at all jovial. He was out of station to make some major deal with another mafia gang in order to expand his connection in the underworld. Though he did not want to leave his wife and his five months old daughter here all by themselves, he had to. It just had been three days since he left and today he got a call from his brother, Jedd, telling him that his beloved wife went missing along with his daughter, and also that precious platinum which he had gifted his wife, was also nowhere to be found. He was angry as hell at the bastard who was responsible for this and at himself as well, for leaving the most precious girls in his life behind for his damned business. After hearing that, he could not stay there anymore and came back as soon as possible. When he reached h
Under the bright light coming from the bulb, Cali stood there staring at the girl who stared back at her. She had beautiful midnight black hair, cute button nose, plump heart shaped lips and the most beautiful pair of eyes. The left one was an alluring shade of gunmetal blue and the right one was hazel in color. Just like his. Cali smiled at her and she returned it equally. She could not help but feel her eyes burning Aa she gazed into the mirror looking at her reflection smiling back at her. "You are beautiful, just like your mother." She could still hear his voice in her mind. One of her hands came up to touch her face on the mirror. "Do I really look like my mother?" She asked herself. She was in the washroom of their office now. She had ran away from there when he revealed who he was to her."You are my daughter, sweetheart." His words rang in her ears. And she let the unshed tears fall down her cheeks. A strangled sob left her lips as she tried to bring it down. "Why?" She ask
