The Billionaire's old flame (Revenge has never been sweeter) Chapter Twenty-Seven
JASMIN£ “Atleast put on a shirt.” I quipped, quite annoyed at how confident he was. He was laying on his back, and shifted his stare from his phone, with a cocky smile, at my remark, “Why? Is the sight disturbing baby? I promise it's nothing you haven't seen before, except now, it's actually bigger…” he teased, making me roll my eyes. I sighed as my eyes involuntarily roamed this room we were in once again. A modern bedroom setup with white furnishings, and cool ambience. There was a balcony that added the upscale touch to the room. Suddenly, I frowned, realizing there was only one very comfortable looking bed, and a double couch, that didn't look comfortable. But Ace was already on the bed…. I stalked to the foot of the bed, my hands rested on my waist, as I spoke determinedly. “I'm taking the bed. You'll sleep on the couch” I declared. He tsked, “Too bad, I called dibs first” “Theres no such thing as dibs. I'm the guest I should take the bed…” He heaved a tired sigh, bef

JASMIN£I didn't say a word, I had nothing to say and I didn't want to hear his explanation either…“There’s someone at the door…” I just spoke in an icy tone, avoiding his eyes.He just released a sigh, before going to open the door.I held my breath, even as he walked past me to the door. Palms feeling clammy, heart still pounding….God, I just kissed Ace!He pulled open the door and his angry voice rang out in the entire room.“What are you doing here?” he addressed the person at the other end of the door.Making me turn to the door as well.I was stunned as I took in our night guest…There, standing outside the open door was someone I least expected to see, in this place, in this hour…“Armani.. “ I gasped.He exchanged a heated glare with Ace, who seemed quite shocked and irritated, before his eyes cut to me for a mini second.“Someone told me you have something of mine…” he hissed at Ace.“What are you doing here?” I walked closer to them.“And what might that be?” Ace piqued i

ACEWhen I imagined how my ex would reenter my life, I expected she’d walk up to me, and give me a hot slap across the cheek, hurl insults at me, and hate me for everything I did to her.But Jasmine …She didn't do that…Yet a part of me expected her to do so.I don't know why I'm so sure she’s Layde, even when she has constantly denied it…Maybe it's the little hints I've been getting, the way her body reacts to my touch or the way the kiss we shared tonight felt so right….The kiss was still messing with my mind, I didn't even get to have enough of her….I really wanted to kiss her again, until Armani the loser showed up on my doorstep…I sighed…She had been in the bathroom for over an hour now.Was it the call? Did it scare her away?It was a little stunt I'd planned with Tyler, hoping to get a much needed reaction from her….She had a weird reaction, nothing too intense…Not what I was expecting….But it seemed she was bent on not hinting me, her true identity…..I breathed out a

JASMIN£I squinted my eyes open, frowning at the unfamiliar ceiling, and in seconds, last night’s events rushed back to my brain, leaving me stunned.I don't know how I found myself on the bed….Was it Ace?Did he carry me here? It must have been him.Gosh, my reaction during the call last night must have said something to him…I don't know how long I can play this game of fake identity anymore, especially with Ace.He's getting closer to discovering the truth and my lies won't keep saving me for long..A groan slipped through me at the thought,as a knock resounded on the door, making me drag myself out of the bed, and move to it.A servant stood there holding fresh clothes.which she handed to me, saying it was from Ace.“Boss got you a new dress, he hopes you’ll like it, and Nana asked me to tell you food will be ready in an hour…”I nodded, as I shut the door.I was relieved by the dress honestly, cause I had nothing to wear.It was a short blue gown, his favourite colour, I rolled

JASMIN£I didn't know what else to do but stare.Stare into his honey eyes, frowning into mine….And I gulped again…Gosh why did I have such a big mouth?After how blissful yesterday was for us, he must think I'm double faced….I stared on, even as he finally took steps, his demeanor had shifted to uncomfortable as his lips were pressed into a thin line, and he avoided my eyes, I noticed.“I…ah I hope I didn't come at the wrong time…”He began awkwardly, and Mum quickly went to him.“Oh my, please pardon my daughter. She tends to say things without thought.”He gave a brief nod, “it's fine…”In the next second, Veronica was all over him, pulling him into a hug, pressing a kiss to his lips..I shifted my gaze at that….Something uneasy panged in my chest at the sight“Baby, I missed you so much. Gosh you don't know… “ she pressed kisses to his cheek.And for some reason, his hand resting around her waist, welcoming her touch also annoyed me….I stood awkwardly, with arms folded to mys

JASMIN£“You're in my path…” Ace simply stated, his voice dripping with irritation as he regarded Armani. But Armani stood his daring stance, head slightly cocked, “I remember asking you a question. Why are you here to see Jasmine, by this time and with fucking roses?” “I could ask you the same, you know, but then I figured, maybe , since you always hover around her, perhaps you signed up to be her guard…” he raised a mocking brow.“For the last time, why are you here Ace?” Armani asked, ignoring his spiteful words.For seconds, Ace watched him with a contemptuous stare, before eventually sighing and reaching into his breast pocket for his phone, I frowned, watching them, the frown deepened into confusion even as I saw Ace dial a number.“Father?” Ace’s spoke, referring to the receiver.From where I stood, I heard Chief Chanel's voice come from the other end, in an acknowledging reply.Ace passed a twisted smirk to Armani, before he spoke, “I'm here with Jasmine…”“Oh, have you ha

JASMIN£ “Ace, what are you doing, put me down…” I slapped at his chest again and wiggled against him, but any of my efforts only made him tighten his hold. “Say you’ll be my friend…” he offered,making me gape at him. “Seriously?” His unwavering smirk only added more to my panic. “Ace you have to put me down alright now or I’ll…” “Or you’ll what?” He cut me shut, refocusing his gaze on me, and I just turned speechless. Eliciting a confident chuckle from him once again because he knew he had me right where he wanted me. “You see that door right there.” he said, making my head whip to the entrance door of the garden. “If you keep proving stubborn, then I might have to walk through it and get out of here, while still carrying you, so that the entire world will see you in my arms. And you know what that means…” a corner of his mouth turned up in a knowing smirk, as I swallowed, tensing up. Gosh. He was capable of it, his confident smirk said so… And I can't let that happen… If p

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

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
