* Chapter 35 Are you thinking of doing the deed in the elevator?* Inside the room, Jasmine peeked through the keyhole. Her lips curled up in a victorious smile. She pressed her lips tightly to stop herself from letting out surging laughter. The room may be soundproof from the inside, but it was the exact opposite outside meaning she heard and watched everything that transpired. " Her knuckles were so white. I bet she had never been so humiliated in her life. Jasmine 2: Lucia zero! Oh my! Thank you, Aunt May.Muah " Jasmine blew an imaginary kiss towards the door. This got her in a great mood. Excitedly, she lunged into the bed sinking inside because of her petite figure. Tossing her phone from one hand to another, biting her tongue as the inside corners of her eyebrows slanted upward. Following a lot of deliberating, she stood in high spirits. She gazed down at the man on her WhatsApp direct profile. She had just changed it and wondered if he saw it. " I
*Chapter 36 Taste better when you feed it * Leaning by the door, Keith skimmed through the jogging-fit jeans with a ring waistline and the baggy Denim jacket. It brought about a younger look, and cool, and the light makeup stressed her beauty. Reminding him of how stunning the woman he married was. " I brought spicy sauce and a surprise package " Jasmine announced chuckling, as she took the thermal flask apart to bring out the food. Getting the little containers out she laid them on the mini table by a sofa. Squatting on it, she began serving into plates. Facing him she tapped the spot beside her. Weirdly obedient, he sat next to her his gaze stabilized on her actions. She seemed so natural he could not help but smile at this. The delicious aroma filled the
* Chapter 37 Do you know her?* Returning from the bathroom, she saw that Keith was seated with a certain Alexandre Gates. They seemed to be talking about business for she heard words like shares, dividend, and betray. Moving closer she caught a glimpse of his face. Her pupils enlarged at this scenery " Thief " she blurted Upon hearing this familiar voice, the tall man looked over his shoulder. His gray eyes loomed over her as they became hollow with displeasure. " You?" " Yes me! " she said defensively resting her arm on her waist. "What a __ " " Unpleasant surprise " she impeded, biting her lower lip
* Chapter 38 ®18 Read at your discretion * After the awkward air cleared out. The guest by the name of Alexandre took a long swig of his drink knowing full well that his friend's intense gaze was stuck on him. " How did you both meet?" Xander expected this question. He anticipated it earlier. Keith had always been domineering and possessive about his entities. So when he heard about their meeting he needed to know everything. Xander chuckled flatly " I already told you didn't I" Once again, Xander filled in a glass of wine. " Why do I feel like you left things out? " He said honestly, not wanting to shake the feeling that things were not as plain as it was presented by them. Even though he
* Chapter 39 Your the reason for my existence* Moving over to the couch, he sat leg-crossed waiting for her response. He filled another glass with water and drank in one go. Feeling heartburn at his sudden coldness, Jasmine took off seating at the edge of the couch. She smiled mildly " Don't get me wrong_" The displeasure on his face enhanced upon hearing this. He knew where it was aiming it. And did not like it. Rubbing both palms together, Jasmine commenced selecting her words cautiously. " I know I said I came because I missed you, it was not a lie." She smiled at the changes in his facial expressions though in the next second, they evolved to indecipherable. Reluctantly, she scooted towards him. The cold air emanating from h
*Chapter 40 I have a surprise for you* With a modest smile, she informed intimately puttering with her fingers " No thank you. I will figure something out " He had done so much already for her. Jasmine did not want to bother him anymore, in any case, it would not be equitable for the others who toiled hard to be invited if she is invited without any hard work. Well, her parade of thought came to an abrupt stop when she heard his hoarse and firm magnetic voice. " You don't have to. You said you don't want to get me upset then you should let me help you. " " But?_" She piped in wanting to do things on her own. To tell him she did not need his help. There were many universities in the city alone talk less about the entire country. As such finding a good one won't be impossible, it will only need super effort from her. However, when she wanted to voice this, he intruded " No buts. Apply for the university today itself. Go home, I still have a lot of work to
* Chapter 41 He cherishes Jasmine* As an after-effect of sleeping on the cold floor of the dainty cell. Lucia slept like a log of wood, tossing recklessly and moaning in pain due to her aching body. ' Knock knock ' Two vicious knocks woke her, she flapped a hand at the door in exhaustion groaning. She had fallen asleep on the couch in the living room of the condo she shared with Jasmine. However the person by the door did not give up, he knocked harder three more times. This time, she sat up, her face darkened and twisted in an ugly expression. The disturbance of her sleep was not the sole reason for her distress and anger. In truth, it was coupled with the fact she was thrown out by Jasmine. ' In my future home!! I will teach her a good lesson. I can't wait for the day that I will throw you out and I promise to slam the door in your face like you did today. ' Thinking this, Lucia's frown loosened. She smile a bit walking to the door. As she opened the
* Chapter 42 Ruining their relationship* Soon after taking a pill, the pain he felt subsided. Unfortunately, his skin protruded further as a reaction to the heavy dosage of the painkiller he took. Subsequently, he limped over to Lucia's room. It was two bedroom flat. " Too fancy for a maid's daughter. One of the perks of having that fool Jasmine as a best friend " Saying that name out loud made him squeamish. He detested her to the point where his blood boiled in response. How could not? She had become more difficult and he was suffering a lot. He slapped her once and he was slapped a thousand times by more than a hundred women to unconsciousness. At a thought of this, he stood still for a while contemplating. Maybe it would be safer if he doesn't go lurking by the lion's den. If he stopped in his plots against Jasmine then all his pain would come to an end. However, he had loans to pay and revenge to serve. Therefore he could not afford to step back. S
