Asher's POV Jasmine was in a cubicle and so was Sebastian as they were done giving their statement before the judge, lawyers, and the hundreds of people in the courtroom. The paparazzi were outside, awaiting the final verdict of the judge. Those seated in the courtroom recorded every moment even when advised not to. "Dear goddes," I whispered, holding the frail hands of the kids that were sitting beside me, Emily and Ethan. Also seated beside me were Rylee and Liam, as they came to show their support on the last day, hoping it would turn out fine. "Based on the evidence presented to me and this honorable court of law..."My heart sank. It was like I died from anxiety a thousand and one times. Liam reached out to me, stroking the back of my suddenly sweaty hands and encouraging me to put myself together. "You'll be fine," He whispered words of assurance to me and Rylee also patted my shoulder lightly, offering her support. My forehead was creased with sweat, and my neckline was s
Sebastian's POV"Mr. Sebastian, for causing the couple inconveniences and damages, you are hereby charged to three months prison term and a fine of one thousand five hundred dollars."The verdict of the judge echoed in my head, with the loud bang of her gravel on her desk. "No!" I groaned, but the noise of the people in the courtroom displaced mine. I looked at my lawyer who looked away, feeling bad about the turnout of the event. I freaking paid the moron thousands of dollars to get the job done, and what did he do? Freaking land me in a damn jail? I scoffed, hating the outcome of my life in the last few months. It wasn't been long before I got locked up in a dungeon like a common criminal, and now I get thrown behind bars? Crap! I sighed loudly. There was no option of them granting me bail for a certain amount, not even if I splashed them thousands of dollars... I didn't mind, so long as I wouldn't be behind bars like a thief. But sadly, there was no option. I was too big to b
Asher's POV "Hey, babe," Jasmine called from the bathroom. "Yeah?" I answered, neck deep into work. It had been freaking long days since our victory in the court case, and everything seemed peaceful... Like back to the days there was never a Sebastian, and I only hoped that it would remain that way all of my lifetime. "Have you noticed Ezra lately?" She stepped out of the bathroom as her footsteps got louder. I was working on the website I was building and barely glanced at her. She had an awkward smirk on, so I suspected that we were on the same page when it came to Ezra. "What do you mean?" I scoffed like I was absolutely ignorant. I only hoped that he wouldn't return home one spring break with a basket full of his cubs. Once again, I returned my full attention to work. Liam was true to his words and had helped out with part of the bills to build the website and stand on my feet solely.After the court case, my previous workplace got back to me, with a good excuse that I coul
Chapter 151: A Second Chance To Life Sebastian's POV Six Months Later Atlas! I grinned, excited for a new dawn. Day and night, I sulked, marking the calender every damn day, and waiting for my release, as it seemed like miracle was not an option. So, I accepted my fate and began the count down. "Damn!" I groaned, displaying my yellow teeth as I smiled. I looked so awful and smelled so awful, but the next door neighbor cared less because we were barely cared and provided for "Why are you happy, man?" Thanos, my prison mate looked at me with scrutiny. He appeared tired and hungry and just like myself, he stunk badly. Him and Knox, were my prison buddies, as they were in the same cell as myself. Initially, I was reserved for the first week, but when I discovered that surviving in a prison was more of collaboration and support of your team members, I loosened up. Thanks had a longer sentence, while Knox was served ten months, and he was in here approximately four months before my
Sebastian's POV I shoved the paper Knox gave me in the back of my pocket. He had written his address and made me promise to see him if I ever changed my mind. There was obviously no point in it, but there was also no need to argue, so I only accepted to save myself the stress and accept his offer. In no time, we bid each other farewell with a broad hug to accompany, not minding the horrible stench from our bodies. For what it's worth, we may not see each other in a lifetime. "Max!" I screamed, excited about seeing him. He was more than a driver to me, he was the only person that was closer to home. "Alpha Sebastian!" He screamed, forgetting for a second that we were in the human world. Unexpectedly, he threw himself at me, hugging me dearly, paying no heed to how I looked or smelled. For long seconds, we remained in each other's arms, until he finally decided to pull away. All those while I was locked up behind bars, he was the only one who genuinely cared. Weekly, he showed up
Sebastian's POV I remained frozen on a spot, shocked to my marrow. I must have heard wrong, there was no way I would be discarded like some piece of trash. "Dad?" I managed, swallowing suddenly hard knots of saliva that threatened to choke me. He only heaved a sigh and that was it. His face showed that his mind was already made up, and I didn't hear wrong. It was only now that I realized he wasn't fidgeting as before. They must have taken care of him properly and bought their heart. Jasmine! My breathing was labored as I got furious in minutes. What the fuck did they do to my parents? Probably gave them medicine and bought their damn mind. Pathetic! Mate or not, I would be sure to destroy her alongside Asher. Fuck!"I'm sorry, son," My mother managed. "You're sorry?" I scoffed. "I don't need you to be sorry, I need you to take those mean and ridiculous words back," I stated. "We can't." My father chipped in. "You have to understand us." Understand? I scoffed. Like I should get t
Sebastian's POV "Whoa!" Knox and the two of his friends screamed merrily. Knox had two friends that I barely remember their name. Just like Knox, they were cheerful and jovial and easygoing. Ever since Knox's arrival a few days ago, they kept treating him like some sort of King. He was given food and drinks and even got massage services when needed. And with me being Knox's friend, the love was extended to me. Not mincing words, I loved every bit of it, matter of fact, it posed as a great distraction and I wished I kept that address when we left the jail, instead of throwing it away. Max was sent back home by Knox immediately. He had bragged that when he saw me, his first guess was that I needed a break from home, and to make things worse, my eyes were red and puffy. "Sebastian?" One of the friends called out to me like a nagging mother. I almost yelped, flying back into consciousness. Looking at all of them one after the other, I blinked nonstop, trying to get the attention of
Jasmine's POVIt was an early Saturday morning, I was sorting out dirty clothes in the hamper as I prepared to do the laundry. This was something I hated about weekends, I basically had to do all of what I wasn't able to do during weekdays and there was no way I would leave the laundry till the upper week. Since my parents got discharged from the hospital, we agreed to allow them to stay with us for about three months and see how things go. Next week would make it three months, and so far, they were going perfectly, especially for my father who was seriously ill. And next, I would make food for the kids and my parents. Jeez! It was overwhelming. Not like Asher wasn't helping, but I just got lazy over the week. Plus, Asher went out to do some inquiries for the new company he was starting, which meant he would not be home anytime soon and when he returned, it's proper he gets fed. "Mum?!" I heard the kids scream. I sighed loudly, partly irritated. They would never cease to annoy me
