JasminÂŁ âI heard the Lintons are going to be thereâ Chloe announced excitedly, making me glance up at her through the vanity mirror. My very gorgeous best friend with a stunning appearance that screamed just how ready she was for the night ahead, had one leg over the other as she sat on my bed, pouring out champagne into a flute glass all the while returning my gaze through the mirror. And finally, she wiggled her brows at me trying to make me relate with her excitement, instead eliciting a casual head shake from me as I fixated my eyes on my phone again. But Chloe was relentless, âCome on Jas, aren't you excited to meet them? I know I amâŚ.it's not everyday a hotshot billionaire sponsors an event and actually shows up. And that's not all, The one and only Ace Linton will be personally handing you your award tonight. That's mind boggling!â She continued, eyes shining with so much enthusiasm âI'm excited, but he's just a man Chloe, no big dealâ I shrugged under the mild pressure

JasminÂŁ Sometimes all it takes is one single realization to make the entire evening come crashing down. All it took was for me to see a resemblance of my ex in this man standing before me to make my heart go haywire instantly. As we stood gazing into each other's eyes, me focusing into his honey eyes and his staring into my contact blue ones with a slight frown. Recognition hit me in full force. âYou..â the word left me before I could comprehend. âAce.â I heard a rigid manly voice behind me. There was a silent tension between us with the voice interruption as I watched him wide-eyed and terrified. With an arched brow, his eyes followed the shards of glass on the floor and all he did was take a sip of his wine with an unbothered stance. âIt's about time you got here young man.â I heard the unmistakable commanding voice of Chief Linton as I felt him approach us. My body jolted back from the stare. I shifted my gaze and took in Mr. Linton stopping , by our sides. H

Ace Business and responsibilities. That was all my life had revolved around ever since I took over the family business. It was a huge task for someone who just turned twenty four, two years ago but now at twenty -five, heading to twenty- six, I was finally getting the hang of it. Tonight, I was expected to be at this dumb awards show and even with everything on my watch I still had to make time to attend, I always did, especially when my father was involved. The man was a moving charity machine and he expected me to follow suit. Sponsoring a show doesn't demand your presence but Mr. Chanel Linton wasn't buying that. I was the most influential man in New York, ranking the second in the world's top Billionaires. It was my father, ranking second before I kicked him out of the spot and took his place. I had made sure to surpass my father in every way possible including business management skills, strategies and net worth. People, both young and old regarded me with high r

JasminÂŁ âYou never loved me.â âI hate youâ âLoose girl.â He regarded me with disgust. I turned and tossed but the voices wouldn't stop. He glared at me.....he hated me....I clutched his arms again and again but he pushed me away. He thought I had betrayed him. He believed the scandal. His words rang out again in my senses. "Two faced two - timer and lying cheating whore....unworthy of love..." "Nooooooo" It came out a harsh whisper as I jerked up, startling myself out of my nightmare. "Nooo" I muttered again to myself as I realized all of it had been a dream. My hand flew to my chest where I clutched with desperation as my heart hurt badly. In the dark room, my nightmare seemed to be looming over me once again, sucking me once again into torture and pain from the past and the realization made me crack out a sob. After what felt like a long moment, I cast my eyes to the cei

Ace âWhat do you think of Jasmine?â I frowned, at being completely taken off guard and glanced at him. He was relaxed into a plush couch at a corner in my grand office as I sat at my high backed swivel chair, with legs, crossed atop my desk, a half smoked bodied cigar settled between my fingers with half drank whiskey, floating in their tumblers, before each of us. It was one of those days, where pops had decided to drop by my office and talk some business. He was still a major shareholder in the business hence he still held a say in the business but any talk of Jasmine was definitely unseen. The ticking of the Grand father clock sliced through the silence as I took a long drag of my cigar and puffed it out. âwhat do you mean?â I flicked a bored gaze his way. He pulled off his hat and leaned forward in his seat, with a serious look etched across his face, âI suggest her for the modelling of our next neck piece.â I said no word in reply as I rolled the fat cigar between my fing

Veronica Ace is mine. He has always been mine even before he knew me and he will always be mine. Nothing can ever change that. The first time I saw him was at my twenty first birthday party two years ago. I invited a couple of my male friends, including Chase, my very close male friend. Then Chase came along with Ace, the man of my dreams. As he sat there at a private booth in my party with Chase, I just couldn't take my eyes off him. Worst, I already knew him before. I loved to stalk hot men and Ace was one of them. He was the famous Linton boy who Iâd spent most of my adulthood years fantasizing about. Chase had us introduced to each other that night and damn he was gorgeous. He had stitch braids, like the viral singer Drake, and it even looked hotter on him. He seemed like he wasn't the ladies men as only mingled with males but I swore I would get him. I've always gotten anything I wanted and Ace would not be an exception. I made it a mission to make him mine. First o

JASMINÂŁ âAce Jewellers wants to work with you.â She repeated and gasped in surprise. âThis is huge baeâ Her eyes twinkled with delight, as she shook my shoulder. I was still in shock as I turned to stare blankly at the computer once more. I read the contract email once again. âWe, the management at Ace Jewellers offer you a deal collaboration and wish to endorse you as the model for the prelaunch of our upcoming next piece. With your influence, we strongly believe you are in the best position to work this out with us. Looking forward to hearing from youâ My mouth almost dropped as my eyes widened. Signed, The president. I felt my heart skip at that. He wants to work with me. He is inviting me back into his life⌠That too with a golden ticket. I was speechlessâŚ. This was not how I expected my morning to turn out. Chloe and I had just returned from our morning exercise routine and branched at my home office to chill off, that's when Henry greeted me with this very shockin

JASMINÂŁ I had just got back from the meeting and all I really wanted to do now was curl up in my bed and sleep as Ace's horrified face after the incident replayed in my mind, giving me peace of mind. After a long day of meeting, sleep was next option. Stepping out of the elevator, the darkness in my living room greeted me, which got me confused. Because I never turn off my lights. Could it be Chloe? I wondered. When I stepped further into the room to switch the on the lights, I was completely throw off balance when a loud, âHappy birthday!!!!!â penetrated my ears, and suddenly the lights came on again. My hand flew to my chest in fright and I couldn't help the gasped that escaped me, immediately I saw it was Chloe. âGosh Chloe, were you trying to killme? You scared me out.â I scolded, still recovering from the mild heart attack. She let out a light chuckle, âumâŚ.laws of birthday surprise says frightening the celebrant with an unplanned surprise is completely acceptable.â She

ACE6 hours âŚ..It only took six hours to find the Romeo fucker.And now I had him tied down in our dingy warehouse as Romanoâs 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.Romeoâs 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.âStopâŚâ I growled suddenly.

JASMINÂŁ 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 todayâs 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. âThere's my sweet cupcake, looking as radiant as usual.â 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 herâŚ. 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 overâŚ. 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 holdâŚ. âSo what do you say Ace?â 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 allâŚMy plan has clicked into place.Now all I have to do is make him hate me.âWhat?â I feigned pretence.He started taking steps towards me, as I retreated in staged fear, âYouâre not my Layde.â he stated.I gulped, once I realized my back had connected with the wall with him nearly looming over me with questioning eyes.âMy 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.

JASMIN⏠A still moment passed between us, as we held an intense stare of each otherâs eyes. âIts really youâŚâ relief sparkled in his eyes as they searched my entire face. âFuckâŚâ without warning, he pulled me into a squashing hug. âI'm sorry..â 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 Iâve 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

VERONICAIâve 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

JASMINÂŁ 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
