* Chapter 8 : Reassuring him
Rather than taking her into the hall, he brought her to the garden.
She looked up at him in confusion,
" I need to speak with a client, wait here" Keith deciphered caressing her cheeks.
Jasmine nodded as she took a seat on the swing. Her mind raced as memories of the past rushed in.

Flashback
It was seven years ago when she entered this mansion for the first time. At that time, she had been invited over by the Yates. However, she was not interested in respecting the offer but her father persuaded her.
She arrived in a stylish t-shirt and torn jeans. She had her hair packed into a clean ponytail.
Jasmine had be
* Chapter 9 Happy to see you * Thinking of this, she presided over the pool. Unawares, she felt someone yank her arm. Halting in her steps, Jasmine veered around and saw old master Yates. She intended to bow but the old man pulled her in for a hug. Jasmine reciprocated grand PADI's hug. Jasmine's heart throbbed and her eyes flickered in tears as the dead old man's face overlapped. He was the only Yates apart from Keith who kept tabs on her even after she married Carl. He never hated her and always treated her like his own granddaughter. He would always tell everyone that she was young that's why she constantly made mistakes. Sadly, in her last life, she did not value him till his death. Peeling out of the hug, she asked emotionally " Grand PADI how ar
*Chapter 10 He can't do anything * Striding closer, Carl studied, the facial expression on Jasmine's face. She appeared miserable so it hinted he was still in power. Conceivably, she might be cursing Keith within for beating him. Carl assumed the role of the maltreated boyfriend, who is enduring his pain to make his girlfriend happy. When he saw her he pretended to be sad and then happy, from limping he walked naturally with an effort all over his face to be seen as a victim. His expression did not change, he still had a warm smile on his face and his eyes had that look. The look Jasmine would fall for without any words. Damn! What made her love him? Now the look is so hypocritical. She just wished you her nails to redesign for him. He got closer grabbing Jasmine's hand gently. His touch felt like
* Chapter 11; exposing all vile people * The number of people in the garden had increased. They all stood as if their feet were glued on that spot watching the drama keenly without batting an eyelid so they will not miss a thing. Women had their cameras ready for shooting. Tatie was more than delighted that people were enclosing the area. She had got to clarify this Jasmine her place. As a commoner, she craved to eat her cake and still have it. Impossible!! " How could you be so shameless sister-in-law, here you are seducing my fiance on the night of your wedding reception. OMG, my ears will fall upon hearing this abomination " Tatie screeched, her voice sincere. She took a few steps forward for the sake of drama, she wiped invisible tears at the corners of her eyes with a tissue, and then violently raised her hands to hit Jasmine's face.

* Chapter 12 To prepare for my wedding reception* Jasmine could feel the heavy weight of their stares thankfully she was impervious to their glares. " Will you say something already? " came Tatie's impatient voice. " You are guilty just admit it" she added. " Tatiana! Let her speak" She bristles at this " Thank you, Keith. Tatie here misunderstood everything.." Once again,Carl seized yet another opportunity " Yes, she did! Aunt Jasmine did not mean it, she was not in her right senses" Choosing a laugh, Jasmine asked dabbing a finger into I her chest " Not in my right senses? Do I look drunk? " " Prove it then" Without necessarily raising her voice, Jasmine responded " I don't ha
* Chapter 13 Letting the past go * Closing the space from the outside and the threshold. It was like she was baptized with new emotions, the strong facade she created fell shortly. Trotting to the stairs, Jasmine rode up to Keith's room. Getting in she fell on the rug by the bed tears streaming down her cheeks. The scenes of the night replayed in her head. Jasmine could not tell if she was happy, sad, or remorseful yet could not help but wail. She whimpered bitterly closing her eyes as tears ran down her face speedily. Unaware she felt a hand on her shoulder. It made her freeze, she wiped her tears and then stood up to face the intruder. It was Keith, he stood staring down at her with an ungraspable expression on his face. " Are you okay?" he eventually implored after a lot of staring. He had noticed her going to the house thus he followed her. He was worried she would hurt herself, after all, she watched him trash the love of her life. Though it hurt him t
* Chapter 14 Evil Shadow * Not far away, an evil shadow was cast on the wall. It watched the couple in hate. As they went down the stairs, everyone's eyes fell on the couple. They watched them in admiration and envy. Jasmine had wiped her face of any makeup yet she was more pretty than ever. A beauty that shone in its innocence. The man beside her took the limelight because of his astounding features. " Here comes the couple of the night " Grand padi declared openly pointing at the couple. They looked so good together that people found it difficult to look away from them. Waiters roamed around with alcohol and non-alcoholic content in glasses on trays. Everyone picked up what they saw suit. Grand Padi seized the stage. A huge smile hung on his lips. He was truly happy, raising his glass he let out " To the newlyweds" " To the newlyweds" the crowd responded swallowing greedily, the contents in their glasses. The couple stood in the center of the invi
* Chapter 15 Special Dance * Grimacing, Therese whined " Mom! Why can I not? No one would see me.." It was simply a bit of alcohol why was her mom against it so much? Lisa felt like strangling her daughter. How could someone with such a high IQ like her give birth to a big fool? It was probably a fault on her husband's side. Covering the vexation on her exterior, she wriggled her finger at a waiter. Obediently the waiter strutted over. Confiscating the glass from Therese she perched it on the waiter's vacant tray. Too, she instructed " Bring us two glasses of orange juice " Beholding her alcohol being taken away, Thérèse thumped her feet on the floor angrily " Mom ..." This made Lisa Yates lose her cool. She rebuked in rage still managing to retain the smile on her face while hiding her gritted teeth " Stop acting childish now. It is enough! You've lost focus on why we are still here " At this time, after much thinking, Thérèse face lit up. For she understoo
Chapter 103: The end At one point, Tatiana was going to end Jasmine's life. As she got closer, a strange force knocked her to the ground faster than the speed of lightning. It was the same power that attacked her before. Like an electric shock. She looked over with a grunt. Her eyes were blazing like fire. " You!" She rushed to attack him, but he fought back with a staff with a sword on the other end. Liam? She launched a plodding attack on his skull. Liam quickly dodged her. A swift shove from Liam on the Fae's chest had little impact. She made a cut at him but missed. Above his blade, the finger-like claws pierced the air. It flickered in and out, low and high, like the tongue of a serpent. That continued for what seemed like a very long time. They moved in both directions. Lucia caught up to Jasmine, who was running away, after noticing that Tatiana was preoccupied and about to lose. She pulled her back down the stairs by grabbing her by the hair. "You
Chapter 102: Finally Revenge "Tatiana?" Muttered Jasmine, shocked. She shook her head helplessly. "The one and only," The Fae grinned. "That day, Carl didn't kill just you. I was hiding in the bushes, recording everything. I can't believe I felt bad for you. Carl made me accuse your father of raping me, and your sister was killed by me. She didn't commit suicide." Taken aback by this confession. Jasmine blinked. Her sister's death was always a mystery to her. She had thought over and over what would make her sensible sister kill herself. And it turned out to be this bitch who caused it. Tears brimmed in Jasmine's eyes. "Why did you do it?" ____
Chapter 101: Basement Killer The party was almost over when Jasmine's phone pinged inside her jacket. It was from a private number. She looked at the message, then her eyes searched for Sydney. Private Number: [If you're interested in knowing the truth,come meet me in the basement alone.] Basement? It meant the person had arrived. Jasmine ran a hand into her hair. She walked over to Sydney, pulling her past people. Now they were alone. "Any news on the car?" "The owner said it was just returned; nothing was stolen and the car was intact. It seems the person only wa
Chapter 100 One day you will be back. Fae walked closer to the kid, about to feast on him with her claws. As she got closer, a strange force knocked her to the ground faster than the speed of lightning. While back at the party, Jasmine watched her sister talk to her friend with happiness. Linda seemed very happy. It made her wonder what would have caused Linda to commit suicide in her past life. No matter how much she investigated,she failed to find anything. Suddenly,an arm slid its way around her waist, holding it firmly. Her body reacted by tensing up, but she relaxed after inhaling his familiar scent. "You know it won't kill you to smile." She teased him, feeling his body linger on hers from behind. He would play the Ken character more with a smile. But her husband
* Chapter 99 Time to put an end to you* A young woman in an asymmetrical red jumpsuit pulled out the cab. She had black, wide-set eyes and waist-length, silky chestnut-brown hair. Before rapping on the massive gate, she gave the driver his tip. Linda suspiciously scanned the area as she knocked on the penthouse's main doors, looking for any indications of a surprise party. But there was silence. perhaps too quiet. The door was later opened from the inside. Instead of Jasmine or Aunty Fe, she was surprised to encounter her moody brother-in-law. He wore jeans and a green shirt with plaiting. He was unassuming, but he was extraordinarily handsome. His bulk obstructs her path. Linda was an introvert as opposed to Jasmine, who was outgoing. She clumsily waved at the enormous
* Chapter 98: Lucia's Free // * Lucia was free. Jasmine could not help but gasp, her breathing becoming erratic. She flung a hand into her hair in utter distress. Taking several deep breaths, Jasmine quickly got into her car. After everything she did to get Lucia implicated, she managed to get herself free. How? Should she call Aunt Fe to ask? Immediately, Jasmine shook the idea out of her head. Aunty Fe was probably celebrating at the moment, and she did not like to stop that by asking questions. By this time, her phone had vibrated in her pocket, and on the screen, a name flashed: ' Dearest sister'.
* Chapter 97 Match Maker* A red Audi drove by—another false alarm. At least that was what Jasmine thought before it stopped at the end of the street. A young, handsome fellow hopped out, clothed in a Gucci suit. Deep brown eyes and pink dyed curly hair His locks were tied in a ponytail, making him seem feminine. "Finally your here." Jasmine huffed, tucking her black shades into her hair. She had been waiting for him for over four hours by the palm tree, as told. "I was teaching you patience, darling." He mocked flipping his hair, showcasing his gold molars. Opening the car,he grabbed a yellow file. This got Jasmine focused; she eyed him as he flipped open the pages wearing an uninterested grin. Now that he was sure
* Chapter 96 Last Night said otherwise.* The first rays of sunlight lit up my room. The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in. As the sun reflected on Jasmine's face, she winced in disapproval. A hand rose, blocking the sunlight from hitting her face. Seeing her smile in satisfaction, his lips curled. She cuddled sweetly with him. "Good morning, sleeping head, he whispered, placing a kiss on her forehead. The warmness of his lips on her forehead woke Jasmine. As they exchanged glances, Jasmine grimaced as she held the duvet to her bare chest. She was mad at herself for giving her body to him so easily. He might think she was cheap. "Good morning, beautiful," he
*Chapter 95: Do I still have a husband?* After declining all invitations to a celebration from relatives and friends. After visiting her mother's grave, Jasmine went home. She tried contacting the mystery caller more than a hundred times, but it was futile because it was a private number. She had dreams about her mother that night, many of which were flashbacks to when she was still alive. A day later. The phone had already begun to ring as she settled down to read. As she removed the phone from the table, she muttered an expletive. She looked at the caller ID and snapped. She left it back where it had been and let the bell ring. But when the ringing grew more frequent
