I can feel my heart racing faster. It’s been two weeks now since we left the house; it feels like it's been ages now. On reaching the door, I held the knob and twisted it, but it didn’t latch; I forcefully shoved it open; my eyes were shut down seeing how messy and unkempt the house looked; my father wasn’t around and he left the door open; what an annoying father!"Hello, is there someone in here?" I yelled, and my mother looked at me as if I were a visitor. It’s my house, and I'm just behaving like a visitor."Jas! Are you alright? "Don't you see we are home now?" My mother said it clearly to me.It looks like a place where an armed robber came to rob my father. I hope they adopt him. I pray silently as I shut my eyes."I thought you guys wouldn't come back again." My heart shattered into pieces upon hearing his voice. I sobbed, thinking something bad had happened to him. I will be grateful to my maker. As I opened my eyes, I saw him looking like he was unkempt, his skin so tan
"Mum, please wake up and don’t leave me." I screamed, choking her violently. She opened her eyes frailly, and my heart, which was throbbing with the thought of losing her, stopped seeing her blink her eyes at me."Mom, are you okay?" There was a quaver in my voice. I lost my balance due to the fear of losing her.She smiled frailly at me as she mustered a little energy to stand up. I held her by the side by putting my hand by her waist and led her inside. We walked slowly into my room, and I gently helped her sit down on my bed, where she lay down quietly."I hope my food is ready." I heard my father's voice from the sitting room. My mother, who is staring weakly at the ceiling, shriveled on hearing my father's voice. She tried to stand up from the bed, but she shifted extremely weakly. Instantly, she winced in pain. Indeed, she is afraid of her husband, whom she worships so much."Mom, are you okay?" I asked her, and she nodded and adjusted herself in bed."Why aren’t I seeing food h
I peered around the house, but my father wasn’t there. He must have left with anger welling up inside him.I went into their room to look for the diary because I must know what it is they are not telling me and why they are keeping everything a secret from me.I went straight to the drawer, silently opened it, and saw the diary. I smiled as I pulled it out of the drawer.I open the first page of the book, and my mouth sticks seeing what is written on it: “meet the guy I have a crush on."Drake: "I love you, but I don’t know how to tell you." I sighed while reading the first paragraph. Drake is actually my father’s name."It hurts me to see you give another person's attention." It sounded like a woman who was so desperate. What did my mother see in my useless father to ever think of falling in love with him? I spotted his features being so enticing in the book, and I sighed."He is a billionaire's son; every girl falls head over heels for him." "He is so handsome, his Irish eyes are ki
"Dear diary, I can’t imagine I was actually the one doing all of this." It sounded as if she was regretting it."I was forcing him to drink until he became inebriated and started seeing me as Elisa." I was satisfied and smiled at the way he was actually pleasant looking at me. At least I will have him all to myself tonight. I can’t wait to see his baby growing inside of me. He started staring at me as I unmasked my face. I don’t care how he sees me. "My mother is unbelievable." I’m leaving this house as soon as she gets herself together."He kissed me, calling me Elisa. I wonder if she has blinded him with her love because he saw her in me. My love, you're lighting up my world. He said a lot of amazing things that got my heart tripping more for him. So sad they weren’t for me. But tonight I will make him mine. He is everything a woman will ever dream of, We smooched for long. I think I’m lost. His mouth tasted like strawberries. Let me stop here, diary. What kind of person do you thin
I wrote something on the piece of paper."Sorry, Mom, I have to get some fresh air, so I'm leaving the house on my own." Please don't look for me; I'll come back when I succeed. Take care of yourself, and I'll miss you. Yours, Jas." I dropped it by her side; she was still sleeping. I started shedding shimmering tears from my eyes as I stared at her, stroking my finger in her long hair."Don’t worry, you will be fine, mom." "I will be back to take you with me," I said to her as I dazed out of the house with so many tears in my eyes. I left, but I will miss her so badly.I have to go and see the world. I was walking away with my heart filled with so many thoughts."If you leave this house, what will become of you?" I never gave that a second thought. All I know is that I’m walking away from my problem to face the reality.I hope I will meet my Prince Charming. Where will you go? Or where will you stay? My heart gave me a hint that I had no where to go, but I will learn to live
We got inside his house; it was a small space.Everything he owes is parked in the room; it wasn’t bad to sleep here. I said to myself, I could see his face obviously; he is very handsome and had these rarely seen dimples whenever he smiled."By the way, I’m Ethan," he said to me as he brought out his hand for a hand check. The way he stared at me made me feel relaxed."I’m Jasmine." I smiled softly. I was attracted to this handsome gentleman because of the way he looked, but he would not be my prince charming."Would you like to have some things? "I have leftover rice," he said, opening the pot in front of us. I was starving and could eat everything I saw. I nodded my head. Furthermore, I wasn’t thinking about whether something bad would happen to me. All I knew was that I had gotten a place to sleep."Why do you leave home?" He asked me, and I couldn’t imagine that I was actually looking like someone who ran away from home.I don’t know what to tell him, knowing how annoying my parents are
It's a blustery morning. I awoke and yearned nearly immediately as the sun swam through the window, and I gathered my eyes.I used my hand to cover my eyes as I stood up to shut up the window because the growing sun was worrying my eyes. "Hey Jas!" Ethan called out to me from outside. I peered through the window, and he face looks so weary. "Ethan, are you okay?" I requested him.He nodded his head and weaved at me to come over to him.I smiled, left the room, and went to meet him.He touched my furry hair and barely smiled. I wager that I'm looking unkempt. "I have good tidings for you, Jas!" He stated this as he fumbled with my cheek. I blinked a grin. I'm surprised at what might be the coolest information."What should that be?" My pleasure changed into wishing everywhere in the location that something would change.You can apply for the activity I instructed you about approximately the day before this night," "he chuckles softly.I’m now no longer certain I don't forget what it's app
I left the compound with a glum face, I couldn't get the words “You are darned ugly” out of my thoughts; they kept popping into my head. “Oh, what a bad day,” I forced myself to think. “Hey Jas!” I heard Ethan calling, and he came right up to me, “How did it go?” he asked me and stroked my untidy hair, “Am I that ugly?” I asked him I couldn't believe I'm so bothered by it, but by asking him this, my concerns will be dispelled. “Oh, I'm ugly,” I confessed sadly, feeling less racially distinct, to his amused laughter. “You are the cutest little thing I have ever seen,” he smiled as he gently caressed my cheek. What made you say that? " he inquired as he winked at me, his features glinting with an obvious smile. "The interviewer bullied me I don't think I will get this job Ethan, " My voice sounds so worried, remembering the interviewer's face I can see his forehead formed up with hatred . It caused me to worry that there would not be a chance for me to get that job. T
Jasmine's POVToday is my mother’s wedding. I helped her get dressed, and she looked incredibly beautiful, beaming with excitement. Her happiness filled the entire day. I couldn’t believe it—today, I’m going to officially become Earnest’s stepsister.As she finished getting ready, glowing with joy, I couldn’t help but tear up. She’s finally marrying the love of her life, and I couldn’t be more thrilled for her. But as we headed to the car, a wave of anxiety hit me. How would my life change in just a few moments? We hopped inside, and I couldn’t stop thinking about how I would accept the fact that Earnest would become my brother. My mother noticed my worried expression and smiled at me.“Sweetie, what’s the matter?” she asked gently.I didn’t know what to tell her. I couldn’t confess that I was afraid of losing Earnest because we’ve been lovers for so long. “I just... I’m just going to miss having you all to myself, I guess,” I lied, not wanting to dampen her excitement. I had never s
Jasmine's Pov I knock quietly at Earnest's door, making sure no one sees me. Earnest’s quarters are a little far from his father's. The surroundings are very big. I stand there knocking at the door. He opens it, looking very pale, his eyes swollen. It’s clear he’s been worried about me for a long time. He rubs his eyes with his hand. “Jas?” he calls out in shock. I nod my head, shut the door, and give him a hug. “I miss you,” I say to him. He pats my back, seeming to think he’s dreaming. “Are you for real? It seems to me that I’m dreaming,” he asks weakly. I guess he still doubts that I’m the one. I nod and kiss him. He recoils from my kiss. “Why did you leave? Do you know I almost killed myself because you left me?” he says. “I’m sorry about that. I thought it would be good for both of us, so I left. But I’m back now to stay,” I say. I didn’t think I was coming back to stay as his girlfriend but as his stepsister. “Are you sure?” he asks, tears dripping from his eyes.
Jasmine's POV:I got to my house and began arranging my stuff. All my stuff was packed inside my luggage. It was time to head back to the place I came from. It was nice to experience a new life, but right now, I need to avoid meeting Kai ever again.I boarded the first flight, feeling excited to be home but somehow sad about seeing Earnest again. I don't think I'll feel the same way about him as I once did. My flight arrived in Ontario after 9 hours. I couldn’t wait to see my mother, who had found a new home.I boarded a taxi to her house, and as I arrived, I was too excited to see her. I stood at the door and exhaled a breath before knocking slightly, waiting for her to open the door for me. As I stood there, the door clicked open. My mom, as always, never faded. She was still beautiful, her beauty lighting up the whole space. She looked genuinely surprised to see me.'Jas, my dear, hope this isn't a dream,' she called out in a low, strained voice. She must have been very surprised
Jasmine’s POVI can’t believe it—I’m getting married today. It’s not what I wanted, nor what Kai wanted, but it’s his parents’ wish. As I put on the ballgown and stood in front of the mirror, I thought my dream was coming true, but not in the way I had imagined. “You will make a beautiful bride,” I could almost hear Earnest's voice whispering to me. I smiled heavily. “Oh, if only he could see me today,” I couldn’t stop smiling, seeing how beautiful I looked in that ballgown.As I gazed at my reflection, I felt like a princess. The ballgown was a perfect fit, accentuating my curves and making me feel like a million bucks. “I can’t keep my husband waiting,” I said to the chief bridesmaid, who was helping me ensure my makeup was perfectly done. She nodded her head.“You look stunning, Jas. Kai is going to be blown away when he sees you walking down the aisle,” she said, smiling.I blushed at her words and felt a little nervous as she handed me a beautiful arrangement of white roses and
Jasmine's Pov “Jas, are you ready yet to meet my parents?” Kai texted me. I was somewhat excited. It had been something I always wanted—to be introduced to someone’s parents as their fiancée, especially since Earnest couldn’t do it. Now, someone else was doing it, just three months after knowing me, and he wanted me to meet his family. I whooped as I got prepared, putting on a simple gown and applying a small amount of makeup. After I was done, I took my phone, scrolled through it, and replied to his text, “Yes, I’m ready. Can’t wait to meet your parents.” I couldn’t stop feeling special; it was my first time someone was making me feel this way. A brief smile arose from my cheeks. It felt like I was falling in love, but I wasn’t fully there yet.“Okay, I’ll be there in a minute,” he texted back. I read it and put my phone in my purse, waiting for him to show up. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Without hesitation, I went to the door and opened it. I saw Kai stand
Jasmine's Pov "Earnest, huh? I don't really know who he is," I said. He stood up from the couch and stared at me. "But you keep talking to me as if I'm Earnest. Looking into your eyes, something is telling me that you are lying." He held me, our eyes locked. I imagined myself dating someone else, seeing how disturbed I would be if I ever thought of dating anyone other than Earnest. It's so hard to let go. "I might not know who Earnest is, but judging from last night, I think you need to let go and move on," he said. "Huh? What are you talking about?" I asked, trying to sound confused, but my heart raced with anxiety. Kai's eyes narrowed. "Don't play dumb. You were calling out Earnest's name last night when we... kissed. And the way you're looking at me now, it's like you're searching for something, or someone." I couldn't believe it—he still remembered the kiss. I covered my mouth with my hands and felt a flush rise to my cheeks, realizing what he was saying. I was embarr
Jasmine's Pov I stirred as I tried to wake up, but my head was pounding, and my mouth was very dry. I groggily opened my eyes to find Kai staring at me with a concerned face hovering above me."Hey, how are you feeling now?" he asked softly.I tried to speak, but my voice was barely above a whisper. "Water," I croaked. My head seemed to spin a lot. I didn't know what had happened to make me this weak; my mind was blurry about what happened last night.Kai nodded and walked to the kitchen, returning with a glass of water. I took it from him and sipped gratefully, feeling it soothe my parched throat. After gulping down the entire glass, I became aware of the fact that I was in Kai's bed. I looked around, trying to remember how I ended up there."What's going on?" I asked myself, trying to recall what had happened, but my memory was blank."You don't remember, do you?" Kai asked, sensing my confusion.I shook my head, feeling embarrassed about last night. "No, I don't," I admitte
Jasmine's Pov I just drank two bottles. I was not myself; I lost balance. Kai looked like Earnest to me as I smiled weakly."You look very charming as always," I chuckled softly, touching his cheeks."Thanks. It's a great thing you said that. I'm the happiest man on earth right now," he said.I laughed abruptly. "Of course, I always say that to you. Is today kind of special to you?" I chuckled.He nodded his head. I touched his cheeks; they were very soft to feel."I missed you. I thought I wouldn't see you again. Every day without you is like a nightmare to me," I said, still viewing Kai as Earnest. I badly missed him and hurt badly because of how much I have loved him."I'm here, my love. I won't leave you, and I will never leave you," he said. I chuckled softly, seeing him staring at me. I couldn't tell if I was really fine because right now, all I could see was Earnest’s face—his piercing blue eyes, his soft cheeks, and his charming smile. Everything else around me was a blu
Jasmine's Pov Darkness swarmed through my room. I was in my room when I heard a knock. I slowly stood up from bed. I knew it was Kai and I was prepared for tonight. I couldn't stop beaming heavily as I walked to the door and opened it. Kai's handsome face flashed before my eyes. He was very charming. I admired his cuteness, but it was so hard to fall for him.“Hi, are you ready to come with me to my place?” he said, smiling. He had a great smile and it made me beam heavily.“Of course, I'm ever ready,” I said as I stepped out of the door. I was wearing a short, revealing gown, looking like someone who was going to seduce him, but that wasn't my intention. I was wearing it to look exceptionally beautiful, not for him but for myself.“Shall we?” he asked, holding my hand as I locked my door with the other hand. After that, I turned, smiled, nodded, and we walked directly to his place, holding hands like a couple. It seemed to me that I had agreed to something. I guess I should gi
