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

    I was sluggishly sleeping like a baby as I felt something moving around my ear. I thought I was dreaming, which is why I felt and heard a soft whisper."Wake up; I have good tidings". The voice roars in my ears. Still, I thought I was dreaming.The sensations and feelings continued. I couldn’t take it anymore. I dashed out of the bed as I hit my ear with my hand out of fear."Cockroach, oh my God". I screamed, jumping out of bed. I hate cockroaches. I held on to the wall.Ethan was laughing abruptly at me.“You are the scariest person I have ever seen, "he said to me.“I’m sure I felt a cockroach around; it was roving around my head." I suddenly remember the whisper: Do cockroaches talk? I shake my head in doubt.Ethan has a better explanation for this.“Common, I don’t see any cockroaches here," he said as he shrugged.“If not cockroaches, then it’s you." I pointed at him as I took a measured step directly to where he was, with a fear gripping me of seeing a cockroach.“Common , I was

    I stood up quietly from him as he angrily pushed me away with so much fear gripping me. Seeing how vexatious he was looking, I think I'm in a big trouble. Immediately after Ethan entered, I felt serene. “Ethan, where on earth do you get this disgusting-smelling pig for me?" I heard him asking Ethan with an irate voice: He must have been fuming, as I saw his face form up with anger.“I swear you are going to like her." Ethan's voice sounds so soft as he comes closer to me. My boss smirks and licks his lips out of exasperation. “She is the worst person I have ever seen," he said, giving heed and leaving. "Are you okay, cute little thing?" Ethan asked me while stroking his hand on my head, I guess I wasn’t okay. It's perplexing to me that my boss sounds so rude. Ethan, I don't want to work for him." I feigned a smile, trying to cover my sadness. "Don’t worry, he is not rude," he said to me. I can’t believe it; Ethan can’t see his rudeness. That guy is damned rude. I’m afraid of

    It’s 7:00am In the morning, it’s such a pity I didn’t wake up on time for my first day at work. I have been lazily around. Oh no, I kept my mouth hanging on my junk. Seeing that all the maids that are in my room has left for duty.Mira entered with her face looking so distressed.“Jas, you are Late for duty. How come?" She said it palely.“I’m sorry, I didn’t know Mira." I shrugged as I stood up sluggishly to get myself ready.“Hurry, Jas, Master; he's waiting for you. I swear, he doesn’t like waiting. Just go and check in now. Later, you'll come for it". She collected my brush as she patted my back to hurry. I fled from the room without Having brushed my mouth. I guess I must have a bad breath.Reaching my master bedroom, my heart started racing so fast. As what Mira told me flooded back into my memory."No maid has stayed for Earnest more than one month." I hope he'll like me. I knocked at the door silently.“No distraction; come here, scumbag," he yelled and shoved the door with

    You're a scumbag; get Out of here; you are sacked." His voice rolled like thunder as I kept my eyes open suddenly.what a nightmare! Oh my goodness, it was just a dream. A bead Of sweat formed around my face. I was sweating like someone drenched in heavy rain. I wondered what time it was as my gaze fell on the clock that hangs on the wall. It struck at 2:30 a.m. Not yet daylight. Yesterday shocked me as it flooded back to my memory. I can see Earnest my master, everywhere.“You scumbag, you can't be any better." His voice was echoing around the room. I’m out of my mind, perhaps.His voice came back again this time around; it was so wild to the point that I felt my ears echoing his voice in double.“Please stop!" I yelled out so loudly and I didn't realize that my voice was so loud to have woken up other maids as I held my hands in my ears.“Jas Are you okay?" I felt a soft touch beneath My skin but still had my eyes closed.I wonder if I’m still having nightmares and if I've had my

I strolled majestically to My master quarter, and as soon as I arrived, my heart began to race as I softly tapped on the door, "You can come in." When I heard his voice, my heart leaped inside my mouth. I silently turned the knob handle and gently shoved the door open, but I didn't see him in his room. I assume he hurried to the bathroom. I should probably hurry and set up the room quickly to avoid seeing his horrifying face. I quietly bind my toes to minimize noise. "You're Late," his voice drew me back. I turned aro

I was bombarded with anger hearing those words of hers immediately I raised my face I saw her I enraged my eyes.

    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.

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
