JASMIN£ “Get away from my girlfriend, Ace.” I heard, we both heard, which made my head whip faster than it should have to the direction of where the voice came from. I got the shock of my life to find Armani, standing there giving Ace a heated glare. That was when his warning resounded in my head. He was the one who said it. He called me his girlfriend. I was overwhelmed and speechlessly, I glanced back at Ace, who frowned before also diverting his gaze to the direction of the voice. His gaze locked with his brother's in a burning glare. “Come here babe…” Armani voiced, with his eyes steadily on Ace. In that distracted moment, I pushed Ace away from me, sprinting into the arms of Armani. Hugging him close, clutching his jacket. This was definitely an act, and I'm all about playing along. His firm hands held me closer to him, as he placed a kiss on my forehead. “Been looking for you all night……” The gears were turning in my head, but I decided to keep up with the act. “

Ace No woman had ever been able to turn me on except my Layde. Infact, I was a walking hard on around her, when we dated. But Parklane? I'd never been turned on by another woman, but somehow she managed to do that, even without touching me? How did she pull that off? I can't deny the fact that she's hot but heck, I can't be attracted to her. When I saw her at the club tonight, dancing, swaying her hips against that man's body, like a trained whore, I had every intention to ignore her and Veronica's kiss was the perfect distraction. That was until, she approached me and I caught a glimpse of that sparkling necklace draped around her neck. It completely entranced me, and made me imagine this was how it would look on my Layde. For a fleeting moment, I envisioned it to be her, my Layde standing right there, flaunting that priceless gem, that was until reality hit me hard! It wasn't her. It was actually Jasmine Parklane, wearing her special necklace and taking a seat in front

JASMIN£ The plot is coming up well, but getting on Ace's good side seemed to be hard to achieve. Yet I was relentless because I have to get into his good books, so that when my scheme goes well,he will not point an accusing finger at me. He is smart that way, to suspect me for the hazard I am about to mysteriously cause, and that is something I cannot risk. Tonight was the dinner party, so I got dressed in a luxury fitting. It was a dinner for the elites. Lots of political executives and businessmen, would be gracing the meeting,considering a famous icon was the host, I needed to look my best. So I picked out an elegant blue slip gown that hugged my curves. It had a cowl neckline, with a side slit that gave a view of my toned legs. I paired my dress with a silver louboutin with diamond necklace and bracelet. I wore light makeup and matched it with red lipstick because I was feeling bold. Tonight's look was simple, yet classy. I had ordered a gift for him, Ace, which I picked u

JASMIN£ We walked side by side, as he pranced pompusly towards the in house casino, like he owned the entire place. “You love defeat..” He just said, with a cocky grin plastered on his face. “I wouldn't say that if I were you..” I smiled slyly in turn. You don't even know who you are up against. “It's been long I played because no one had been bold enough to challenge me in my game. You see the thing is I learnt from the best master. Are you sure you are in for this, Jamine?” A hint of pride settled in my chest, at the fact that he called me his best master. Ofcourse I was. But I think it's time I humble my arrogant student. “Very sure, Ace…” When we were almost outside the room, I paused to stand in his way. “Let's make this more fun shall we?” “What do you mean?” He frowned. I took a bold yet defiant step his way, “Let's place bets.” I said. I have already come up with the perfect bet to stake against him. He frowned, “And what would that be?.” I glanced at the entr

JASMIN£ I paused and turned to her with a frown. “WHAT. WAS. THAT?” She asked spitely with raging eyes directed at me. “What do you mean?” I asked. “The stunt you pulled at the casino…” she gritted out. “You did it to get his attention didn't you?” I couldn't help but frown at her statement. If she thought, I put my life in danger just to attract her so called boyfriend then she was totally wrong. “So what did it look like to you? That I purposely endangered my well being or that I faked everything just to get Ace's attention?” I asked in a ludicrous manner. I can't believe her way of thinking. “I don't know….he was all over you there….” she waved a frustrated hand about. Then took a threatening step closer. “Jasmine, I might have been friendly to you tonight but I just want to remind you of your place. You are his employee, you only know Ace on a contract, but you don't know me. You don't know what I can do. So now, I'm warning you. Stay away from my boyfriend or you can ki

Jasmin£“Remember our first kiss?” He finally whispered over my lips, trapping my eyes with his hope filled ones.A fearful gasp left my lips as my eyes darted between his, and I shook my head slowly.The hair rose at the back of my neck and my insides trembled.No! This can't be happening.It was like my worst nightmare coming to life….I stumbled backwards, hoping to get away from him, but he inched closer. He took slow forward steps to me, and finally, he breathed out a relieved laugh as he shook his head, with happy tears, “Fuck…I never thought this day would come….”“Wh-what are you saying?” I stammered eyeing him frightfully while my heart was relentlessly pounding in my chest.I inched back, scared of what might be going on in his head, only for him to keep coming closer.It was like he was completely oblivious to my fear, like he was lost in his discovery, as his eyes only pierced deeper into mine, he visibly swallowed heavily.I continued backing away, backing away from him

ACEI stirred in my bed, feeling the soft morning glow from the sun kissing my bare torso through the unfurled curtains before I peeled my eyes open, to meet sight with a very familiar ceiling.A ceiling I had not opened my eyes to in years. My childhood bedroom ceiling.I sat up,definitely surprised and tried to recall why I had fallen asleep here, but instead a monster headache set in.I groaned at the effect, and I perceived the alcohol in my breath, making me palm my face.Shit, how much did I drink last night?And what the fuck happened?How did I end up here?I was still rubbing my head to soothe the ache, as I downed Advil tablets, and just in, a pungent smell of burning paper and smoke wafted through my nose, eliciting a cough from me.Leaving me to wonder where the heck the smell came from.Wanting to know, I slid the duvet aside, getting out of bed and following the smoke, as I waved my hand around to clear it off.I got closer to the source, my closet and heard a soft fem

JASMIN£ “What if we host an award for him and then, wait for it….” She leaned closer and snapped her finger in my face. “Right in front of the entire crowd, we released a bucket of disgusting slime down his face. What do you say?” She concluded, earning her another burst of laughter from me. Chloe was ridiculous…in the funny way tho and her round of suggestions had been going on for the past one hour,yes. Ever since she found out that Ace was my ex-boyfriend, she had gone from liking his style to hating his guts, and now all she could think of was the perfect comeback for him. She had a list of over a hundred horrible things we could do to Ace, and this was by far, one of the least decent, and less harmful ideas, she'd dropped. “Chloe please…” I couldn't help the laughter anymore. “Just saying sis,” she shrugged picking up her bowl of chips. I shook my head, “Chloe, it's fine, I'll be just fine. Everything will go well” I reassured her. I already told her the plan, she knew it

JASMIN£“And this is to, many more wins, more nominations and awards, more smooth collaborations and finally, more good music to be made, cheers everyone! ” Leon announced over the loud music as he held up his wine in toast elliciting a cheer of approval from all of us around this table.The clinking of glasses against the other followed, before we all took our generous sips.Everyone was present, loads of wines were being popped and there was just so much fun going on tonight. We were celebrating our big win at my newly acquired club and the serenity of this Vip section created the perfect backdrop for our merriment…..Looking around at all the happy faces present, I was so proud of how much we'd achieved and I made sure to state that in my celebratory speech, when it was my turn to speak after Leon.“More wine…” Chloe hooted out excitedly afterwards causing us to giggle in our half drunken state. The men on the team engaged in conversations, a few were at the main club having fun…..

ACE6 hours …..It only took six hours to find the Romeo fucker.And now I had him tied down in our dingy warehouse as Romano’s soldiers rained scorching torture on him.Ever since I stepped in some minutes ago to find him in a mid-broken state, I had remained here in this dark corner observing every single moment with Veronica, who stood closely by my side.Romano was by my right as well and Armani.Romeo”s torture was serving the show for all of us all.And now feeling like I'd watched enough of the show, I ordered a pause to the torture.“Stop…” I growled suddenly. Now I wanted to strike was the only thought in my mind as a still befell the entire room.I glared down at him once more before starting to move towards him, Veronica’s hand coiled around halting my movement for a bit, “Make him suffer Ace, just like he did to me…” she stated, with hate and vengeance sparking in her eyes. She said everything I intended to do to him.I stepped out of the darkness and into the light , ap

JASMIN£ Glancing at the door again, I heaved a pent up breath in patience. Today was the first day for my twice in a year medical checkup and as usual, I was eagerly anticipating the results of today’s checkup. The door finally creaked open after quite a while of waiting and Doctor Lana whom I had gotten used, from the past years, reentered the room, bearing a huge grin. “There's my sweet cupcake, looking as radiant as usual.” she commented cheerfully as she approached. Her words sieved a giggle out of me, as her smile instantly lit up the entire room. She was a caring woman from the day I'd known her till date. She was only an intern when I first came to New York and met her at the asylum that housed me in my first year here and she was the one person that freely helped me during the dark times that followed after the breakup. Now she was in her early forties and a big fan of my music, she was also my personal gynaecologist. And apart from my mum and Chloe, only she knew about

ACE I still couldn't believe how much of my time I wasted on her…. Trusting Jasmine was a mistake, a total waste of my time. And at the top of the reasons why chasing her was unreasonable, was the realization that the DNA I'd taken of her turned out negative. Fuck! The reality that I'd been pinning on the wrong woman for quite a while now, messed with my sanity and almost fucked me over…. And I couldn't believe her guts. The Blaine diamond. That's what she wanted all this while? Seriously? I should have known she was double faced right from the moment she scarred my poor manhood, but damn, as her filthy words from last night recurred in my memory, it only enraged me the more, making me involuntarily squeeze around the tumbler in my hold…. “So what do you say Ace?” The sudden sound of my father's voice drew me out of my raging subconscious back to the meeting at hand. Glancing back up, I realized I was presently in an unwanted meeting with my Father and Armani. Last I heard

Hearing his words, it brought a twisted sense of relief to my chest.He has bought it all…My plan has clicked into place.Now all I have to do is make him hate me.“What?” I feigned pretence.He started taking steps towards me, as I retreated in staged fear, “You’re not my Layde.” he stated.I gulped, once I realized my back had connected with the wall with him nearly looming over me with questioning eyes.“My Layde can never be this selfish and stuck up. People can change, but no, I don't believe in her changing this much. She was and still is, a literal angel. You're two different people. I found the wrong person, my bad…”His words made my heart pick up a blissful rhythm, I almost melted at what he had to say about me, but then, I reminded myself of how much his rejection after the scandal has hurt and the thought alone, toughened me up once again.So, I forced out a pathetic laugh, a laugh I dragged on and on, to his confusion, before eventually coming to a still and cocking my

JASMIN€ A still moment passed between us, as we held an intense stare of each other’s eyes. “Its really you…” relief sparkled in his eyes as they searched my entire face. “Fuck…” without warning, he pulled me into a squashing hug. “I'm sorry..” he breathed exasperatedly over my hair, patting down on it, while hugging me so close, so tight, as his masculine scent enveloped my senses. I was numb to his reaction, even as I could feel his heart beat against mine, until a tear drop threatened to slip through me at the surge of emotions swirling up within. I struggled to keep the tears at bay as I eventually loosened up in his embrace. I couldn't even remember the last time he held me this way but I do know how much I’ve longed to hear him say the word, I'm sorry ever since that fateful day, everything went downhill. Yet now, remembering John doe's message and threat from a few days ago, a feeling of dread enveloped me. Since that meeting, I had only resorted to drilling my brain to

VERONICAI’ve decided to finally meet up with Romeo.Ever since we encounterd in that bathroom stall almost a month ago, with his empty threat over my baby that never came to pass, I had been stalling the meeting with him since then, but tonight I was suddenly pushed to finally go see him.Recently, he sent a box reminding me of our supposed meeting and as I stared down at the creepy address and phone number from the box, in my hold, goosebumps erupted on my skin.It was his final warning to me and the deadline for our meeting a week from now. I don't think I can ignore anymore because deep down, I knew Romeo wasn't one to be messed with.Tonight would be a good time to go and see him, seeing as I was alone.Ace was at the gala, which for the first time ever, I was unreasonably uninvited to, courtesy of Chloe Kiss and her stuck up bestie, Jasmine I'm sure of that.Now, I couldn't even know what was going on at the show because pictures weren't even allowed inside the main event.It m

ACE. The much awaited gala was finally happening tonight and here, I was in the bathroom, finding courage. I adjusted my suit jacket in the mirror, one last time and exhaled. I can do this. I told myself what I'd been saying for the past few hours now. Because the shit I was about to pull tonight was fucking scary and insane at the same time. And I'm not sure how well it's work. After I offered to be prime sponsor for this event weeks ago, from then on I'd meticulously planned to perfection to use it as a medium to recreate the one event I owed Layde when she was my girlfriend. It was the first idea I had on how to know if she was really Layde, but now, it was the final step in my mind that would tell if I've been living in delusions or if it was really her all this while. That's, If she gets triggered by what I'm doing tonight. I know how much my past actions really hurt her, maybe that's why she was finding it hard to open up her real identity to me, but I was hoping tonig

JASMIN£ Warily, I took in the environment around me once again. A crooked building stood before me, with metal music,and heavy groans and cheers of male, emitting from the building, making the insides seem like a sort of wrestling ground. This was the location I was asked to come to. I hope I was in the right place. If I was, then I wondered why he called me here. Muscular men waltzed in and out with such normalcy, that I had to cover my face with a mask, and stay out of sight, so no one here recognizes me. I had alerted him on my arrival, and finally, a man wearing a mask came out of the building, his actions were coded, as his eyes searched the environment for a bit, before he found me. He walked to me, instructed me to put on blindfolds, I had to succumb. With sweaty palms, I let him lead me into the building. All of the voices and noise faded away as I realized we were in an elevator going underground. When the blind fold was removed, I realized just how creepy this a
