**Earnest Pov**

On getting to the fancy hotel that the detective directed us to, I didn't want to go with them any longer because I didn't really have the guts to face Clara right now. I see myself as a betrayal. I can remember vividly that I told her never to contact me so that no one would not suspect me, but she didn't abide by it, and I feel like it's all my fault.

We walked directly to the reception. A tall, slim, and charming lady in her twenties beamed at us with a smile. I can confess she has a smile that can mend a broken heart.

“Hello, how may I help you guys?” she asked, still smiling.

“Well, we came to see someone with the name Clara Jason,” Clara's mother couldn't hold her desperation to see her dear daughter.

“When did she check in?” she asked while my Aunty hit her finger on her lip to figure out the day it possibly was.

“It’s the 24th of June,” she outbursted.

The receptionist beamed heavily on hearing her. She brought out a register and scrolled through. After a while

    **Earnest**I walked away, entering another hotel where I could seclude myself from home until the palpable tension was over. I couldn't forget the look on Clara's face; she was really vexatious towards me. I didn't mean to hurt her, but I didn't like that look on her face. I could count myself as a betrayal. Remembering her face, I slowly entered my hotel room. I flung myself on the bed, trying to dash my eyes closed. Clara's sad face flooded back into my memory, and I was restless. I wished she would understand it wasn't my fault. Suddenly, my phone beeped. I checked the screen and smiled softly, seeing that Jasmine had called. My heart throbbed with excitement. I had missed her a lot. She was all I needed right now, to hold me and cuddle me. I picked up the call, a smile tickling around my face."Hello, darling. I missed you so badly," her voice came up at the receiving end. It was so gentle and soothing, yet laced with an unbelievable hint of seduction."I can't wait to see you h

I couldn't stop wondering.I couldn't remember how I got here except for getting into my car with someone behind me and a folded handkerchief on my mouth. Then, I landed here.As I struggled to free myself from the restraints, the darkness seemed to suffocate me. My mind raced with fragmented memories, like a dream that was slipping away. The scent of chloroform lingered, making my head spin. I tried to speak, but my voice was muffled by the gag. Panic set in as I realized I was completely at the mercy of my unknown captor.Suddenly, a faint light flickered, illuminating the room. I squinted, trying to make out the figure standing before me. But the light was too dim, and the shadows danced on the walls, taunting me. The figure remained silent, its presence looming over me like a specter. I strained aga

  • Rekindle of love    I wish someone would come to my rescue

    Jasmine's POVOne side of my cloth was torn, revealing my breast. I was ashamed of myself that I had to scream. He grabbed my breast with his arm, a tickling smile escaping from his lips. “I can't wait to have all of this tonight.” The fear of him thrusting himself inside me gripped me. I continued to scream, heavy tears dripping from my eyes. I wished someone would come to my rescue.He held my lips to shut me up from screaming. I was moaning, trying to let go of his hand from my mouth, but I couldn't because my hands were tied. “I love every single bit of you, and I want to make you feel like you are in paradise,” he whispered in my ear. I was burning up with anger, but what could I do? I was strongly held captive and prayed silently that Earnest would find me before he took advantage of me.He slowly kissed my forehead. I felt like squeezing him. “I love you. Today, I will make sure I give you rock and raw to make you feel every part of me.” He let go of his hand from my mouth.“Dr

    Jasmine Pov Just then, as he was about to unzip his trousers, he staggered heavily on me. With my eyes closed, I wondered what would happen to me if he succeeded in having the best of me. "Are you okay?" I heard a familiar voice while still keeping my eyes closed. It sounded like Earnest's. I felt as if I was drifting away from the world. I couldn't feel the atmosphere. I felt a gentle touch on my cheeks; it felt like I was dreaming. "My love, can you tell me that you are fine?" I thought I was dreaming and didn't want to open my eyes to find myself in a nightmare. He briskly pushed me to bring me back. My eyes opened, and I was shocked to see Earnest right in front of me with his face sparkling like the morning star. I thought I had succeeded in touring inside the world of dreams. "Darling, is that you?" I touched him to make sure it was him, and he nodded. "Are you okay?" he asked me, but it seemed like a dream. I wondered how he knew I was here. "Tell me that I'm not dre

    We walked out of the rubble building. I was so excited to finally be free from Drake's torment, something I thought no one would help me escape. I never knew he would rescue me. I couldn't stop the tears of joy dripping from my eyes as I remembered how Drake had torn my clothes and sucked my breast. The memory pierced my mind, but one thing I'm grateful for is that he arrived just in time; Drake never had his way.He opened the car door for me. I hopped in, feeling better, like someone who just came out of a coma. As he got into the driver's seat, he helped me tighten the seatbelt. He stared into my eyes; his expression and the way he looked at me made it obvious that I wasn't okay.“Are you sure you’re okay?” he asked, fumbling with his hand on my cheek. I groaned in pain.“It hurts,” I yelped. He searched my face to check where I had bruises.“We’re going to the hospital right now.” His face was worried, but I insisted I was fine. I hate hospitals because seeing people in pain hurts

    **Earnest POV** I embraced her warmly, not knowing what to tell her about us getting married. I hoped she understood that it wasn't my fault; my father wanted me to marry only Clara and no one else. I was afraid he wouldn't like her. She recoiled from my hold and gave me a weak smile. "Darling!" Her voice was twisted with sadness. "What's the problem, dear?" I asked, not happy to see her face like that. "What do you think of me?" she asked, but I didn't know how to respond. "You are the best woman I have ever seen, the most beautiful woman ever," I responded, hoping she would make me understand why she was asking all of this because right now, I was confused about where her question was coming from. "If I'm the best woman you have ever seen, what is wrong with getting married to me?" She wasn't looking happy. Why was I acting this way, like a daddy's boy? I couldn't even fight for the one I loved but always did what my father expected of me. I stared into her eyes—those eye

    Jasmine POV"Jas, I can't wait to see your mother," Earnest said on our way home."Uh… it's fine, but she will think you are flirty with me." I couldn't imagine myself agreeing with him to keep our relationship secret for now."...what's so hard for him to tell my mother the truth?" I asked, exasperated. "I mean, we're not doing anything wrong, are we? We're just...together."Earnest chuckled and took my hand, his fingers intertwined with mine. "Your mother can be a bit...intimidating I guess, Jas. And I want to make a good impression. I promise, once the time is right, I'll tell her everything."I raised an eyebrow. "Intimidating? My mother? You're not afraid of her, are you? And besides, you haven't seen her. Why would you be afraid of her?"Earnest hesitated, and I laughed. "Oh, Earnest. You are totally afraid of seeing her."He grinned sheepishly. "Maybe a little. But I promise, I'll make it worth it. I'll tell her the truth, and I'll make sure she knows how much I care about you.

    Jasmine POV“I think I should be on my heels, ma.” He stood up as I tried following him at the back.“Alright, Earnest. Make sure you come for dinner. I owe you a lot for saving my daughter and for always protecting her. I owe you a lot.” She winked, her visage.“Alright, ma. I will be honored to come,” he said as he took a measured steps to the door while I followed him. We shut the door behind.“Your mum is really pretty. I see where you got all this beauty from.” He caressed my cheeks.I didn't know that I looked so much like my mother, but people keep telling me how much I look like my dad, that monster.“Really? All this while I thought I looked like that monster.” Anger popped up on my face.“Who is the monster you are talking about?” He was looking at me somewhat askance. Should I tell him the monster is a father who deprived his daughter of education and made my mother's life a living hell?“That monster groaned like a lion. He almost killed my mother.” I was annoyed to rememb

    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
