LXXIX: Serving you your punishment
Last Updated:
2021-09-19 12:55:51Jasmin stepped into the living room after having her quick shower. Cainan was already out of his blue suit and now in an ash long sleeve while he adjusted the couch with enough pillows so Jasmine wouldn’t feel so much discomfort when she’d sit to watch the movies.
Staring at him for too long made her heart hurt, and she turned her attention away and strolled further into the living room.
“I see you’ve set the place.”
Cainan’s head lifted, and he saw Jasmin already in the living room in a lovely red nightgown that showcased her bump perfectly and her hair was in a top knot bun and a small strand fell to her face and deliberate or not, it made her beautiful. There was no guarantee he was going to keep his hands to himself.
“You should go shower. I already picked out some clothes for you on the bed. If those aren’t what you want, check the top right drawer. There are a few other sets there.”
His eyes crossed, “O

The door to the Lexus RX opened, and Felix offered Jasmin his hand. She politely smiled and accepted his offer, stepping out of the car in a white, one arm pleated gown, almost reaching her knee. She had on a black three-inch heel and was holding a golden purse in her hand. Yes, she didn’t picture how amazing the gown was last week when she first tried it on and despite Lisa's insistence that it was a magnificent gown; she didn’t see it. Today, however, she realised it was a beautiful gown, and it made her feel good about herself and she was certain Cainan would love it, too. Today was Lisa’s twenty-seventh birthday, and she was having a musical party and she invited only the elites. It wasn’t just a musical party. Lisa wanted to use the opportunity to raise funds for disabled children around the country, which made the celebration different from the others she had had in the past. Lisa had taken them all out to shop a week ago because she want

Marc stood watching her hurry away from him with longing eyes and, as he turned, he saw Jasmin staring at him. Panic flashed in his eyes at seeing her, and he turned away quickly to take control of his uncontrollable emotions. He finally looked back at her, the emotions of his eyes under subjection, “You’re Jasmin, her step-brother’s girlfriend.” She nodded and trudged further out of the shadows, a little surprised that he knew who she was. “Yes, that’s me.” “How much of what just happened did you hear?” “Almost everything,” when his eyes narrowed, she held up her hands, “and it wasn’t intentional, Marc. I saw her angry from afar off and thought she needed help and that was why I came over. Turns out what was happening wasn’t what I thought it was. You are Marc.” “How did you know who I am?” Jasmin smiled warmly, “Remi told me about you, you’re Remi’s friend.” He chuckled painfully, “I’m not her friend, s

She felt blood and adrenaline rushing through her veins from what just happened and the thrill sent her high above the ground. She spotted Lisa sooner than she expected and Charming was standing beside her. Charming was in a white asymmetrical dress, stopping right above her knees and a black belt around it, and four inches, ankle strap heel. The light make-up on her face and her hair in a ponytail made her look exquisite. Lisa was in a long, silver-coloured, silk dress which showcased the fine lines of her body, although keeping that as well as the three-inches pump heel she had on covered up. Lisa’s long, braided hair fell over her shoulders and her make-up was simple and mature. The look hinted at this party's nature, but she still made it look beautiful. Zoe cancelled at the last minute, stating that an unfortunate matter arose and changed the cause of her day. She apologised to Lisa and wished her a happy birthda

Cainan spotted Jasmin not so far away, staring afar off with a focused gaze, trying to find someone or something, and he made his way over to her. When he was close enough, he wrapped his arms around Jasmin’s small waist and he felt her almost rebel to his hold before discovering it was him and relaxing, easing herself. “Where have you been, Ms Whyte?” he murmured into the crook of her neck as he pulled her closer to himself and their body touched intimately. “I’ve been going crazy with missing you.” She became intoxicated by the rich smell of him and wanted more of him, more of his touch and hold. She wanted to snuggle close to him all night and day and never let go. They were both at the corner of the hall, which was less crowded than the front where the guests gathered. She had left him close to an hour minutes ago to go find Lisa. However, ended up running into Remi

“My golden bracelet is missing as well.” Another said with panic. “My earrings!” echoes a voice from far back. “Everyone calm down,” Lisa’s voice came up to quell the guests who were now disoriented and murmuring, “this is no reason to panic, there has to be some sort of explanation for that.” “No reason to panic? My fiancée’s engagement ring is missing!” the roaring response of an angry man came from the back. The guest gasped in horror, and others around began checking themselves, fear and dread in their eyes. Cainan's attention flew to Jasmin, and something flickered in his eyes. And he didn’t even have to open his mouth for her to know what was going through his mind. His eyes asked the questions and threw the accusations at her without a second thought. She couldn’t believe that despite how far they had come and everything h

They cuffed her hands behind her back, and she tried to avoid the eyes of everyone on her. She kept her head down for fear of breaking down and crying her eyes out. He pulled her along with him to the corner of the hall, which was less crowded, holding onto her until the police's arrival.“Let me through, I said let me through!” Cainan snapped at the group of people crowded around as he, Lisa and Ada made their way over to the corner of the hall where the culprit was being held.Finally, being let through Cainan's eyes landed on Jasmin and his heart clenched and his blood boiled with anger and frustration.“Uncuff her,” he ordered immediately.His words came as a shock to the few people around, as well as Jasmin, who had only expected the worse outburst from him. She turned to gaze at him in wonder and saw that there was no trace of judgment in his eyes, neither wa

He let go of the doorknob and turned to see her needy and helpless eyes. She bit her lips and gingerly approached him; she hadn’t gotten over the event of the night, yet at this moment, she wanted nothing else but the man in her bedroom who had proven yet and again that loving him wasn’t a mistake. She wanted to have him with her and this need became more with each passing moment. Also, she wanted him to bathe her and hold her tight; she wanted him to make her his, to kiss her, touch her, claim her, possess her, to make sweet love to her. Her want for him was more than the air in her lungs. She closed the space between them and her lips locked in his for a sweet kiss. His lips felt soft and she could smell the red wine he had had at the party on his tongue. Her hands moved from his chest down to his trousers and she unlocked it and undid the zip before pulling it down, all the while fighting to keep their lips locked. Once his trousers were down

Cainan had made it a routine to call her every morning and wish her a great day ever since he'd gotten her a personal driver, which meant that he wouldn't be seeing her early morning anymore. Most days he'd call her when she was about to leave home to work, but today he called a few minutes later than that and she was almost at work when her phone rang.It was Cainan.It was easy for anyone to know because her smile got wide and her cheeks heated and goosebumps grew on her skin."Sweetheart." his deep and possessive voice came through immediately she placed the phone to her ear."Honey," she returned, still beaming."Did you sleep well?""Yes, I did.""I'm pretty sure it wasn't as good as when you have me beside you though."That was true."That's always open for debate."

A few days later, Jasmin was holding onto a bunch of lily flowers and she wore a long silver gown that littered with every move she made. Lisa told her it was going to give her the best look two days ago, and she believed. Cainan was in a black tux and red bow tie and sat in his wheelchair, awaiting her arrival at the altar. He was taking Rogue’s advice and also grooming a beard and a few stubbles were on his face. Jasmin told Cainan she wanted to be married to him a few days ago at the hospital and despite being confined in bed, Cainan moved to plan for the wedding, which would be a small one with only family and friends. After they released him from the hospital, the doctor gave strict instructions that he made use of the wheelchair to help heal and restore him to his full strength before walking and so he had done in these past days while planning the wedding. Coming out to Ada abou
The CEO's Contract With the thief CXII: The road to forever
The stillness within and without was the first thing Cainan took notice of as he regained consciousness and soon after, his lashes lifted and he beheld a blurry shadow pacing around not so far away. What a very weird dream he had had, being chased around with Jasmin and then shot and stabbed. He made out the white painted walls, ceiling and blue curtains hanging on the window through his dimmed vision and his head did a mental recall of the event that might have led to this, but came up short. The clearer his vision became, the harder his head ached, and he shut his eyes as the pain in his head grew worse. “Shit!” he cussed and groaned loudly. How the hell did he end up here? “Cainan,” he heard Ada’s voice snapping him out of his thoughts, and a moment later she took his hand in hers. “Oh, thank goodness you’re finally awake.” She breathed in relief and took her seat

A store with dimmed lights was at the corner off the road and, as soon as Jasmin saw it, she raced there, hoping they would still be open.She barely took her first step when someone suddenly grabbed her hand.Her heartbeat raced, and she panicked, trying to wiggle away. “Jazz, Jazz, it’s me.”Her heartbeat decreased and relief watched over her at the voice of Cainan and she threw her arms around him before she thought of anything else.She pulled away, overwhelmed with happiness and surprise at the sight of him. “How did you find out?” her eyes narrowed.Relief and happiness filled his eyes at her sight. “I knew you loved me and the last thing you would do is hurt me intentionally. I knew there was more to it and though heartbroken, I had to wait around and make sure you were okay. Thank God I did.”“He knows about the baby,” she said, overcome with fear, &l
The CEO's Contract With the thief CX: When escape is not an option
Dennis dragged Jasmin out of the house and into her car before forcing her to drive them away from the house. They drove past a few security points and each time, Jasmin played it cool and smiled her way through each line of questioning they had for her. She obeyed Dennis and did nothing that would spook suspicion for the safety of her unborn child even though she couldn’t imagine going back to the nightmare of a life she once had, filled with fear, abuse, and pain. “Where are the rest of the team?” she asked, a little curious as they left the last checkpoint. Dennis did nothing without his team, which comprised three other wealth exchangers, and Jasmin sensed something was up with their absence. “Dead.” He flatly replied, his eyes on the road. “I lost them a few days ago, during a heist.” Her eyes dropped. “I’m sorry.” She mumbled quietly, but she was not surprised. The life they lived was a dangerous one, which was why she wanted to leav
The CEO's Contract With the thief CIX: When heartbreak lingers
"Stop!" she exclaimed in panic, holding her trembling hands up in surrender and her heart slammed away in her chest in fear. "I will do what you want, just don't hurt her." Her eyes blurred up and her lips quivered. She knew better than to call bluff on his threats. He halted and uncocked the gun before turning to meet her glassy, and now desperate, eyes. And what he saw pleased him. "That's my girl, so obedient." he cooed. "Your good heart never leads you astray. Now bring out your phone and call your lover boy. You need to make sure that your words are believable because Lisa isn't out of the woods yet." Afraid, angry and defeated, she pulled out her phone from her purse on the couch and dialled Cainan's number. After the third dial, with no answer from Cainan, she lowered the phone from her ear, mumbling. "He's not answering, usually he answers..." The words were barely out of her mouth when the doorbell went

Her heart hammered against her chest in fear and terror as she stood, unable to move in the first few minutes that passed.He was her past; he was also her nightmare and now he was her reality.Lisa lived in a very secure neighbourhood and breaking in rarely happened. Somehow, Dennis, an intruder, had found his way in and now sat on Lisa's adjustable chair at the corner of the living room in black hood and trousers, and an evil smirk at the side of his lips like he owned the place.A million questions ran through Jasmin's head as she speechlessly stared at him.What did he want?How did he find her?Where's Lisa?What did he do to her?Despite the question running through her head, all she could utter became his name."Dennis."He puffed the rest of the smoke into the air. "Oh, good, you still remember my name." he casually stated as if it hadn't been over nine months since they last saw each oth
The CEO's Contract With the thief CVII When the past returns
Jasmin stayed in the restroom for a few minutes and so much had already happened in her absence. She didn’t mind that he worked with Vanessa. Being a big girl meant not crying, not throwing tantrums, and lastly, not jumping to conclusions. What she didn’t understand was why they had to be so fond of each other. Cainan reached for her hands and affectionately took them into his. He said something that made Vanessa’s eyes widen and disbelief spread across her face. She threw her arms around Cainan and hugged him tightly before pulling away, the wide smile still on her face. Jasmin’s eyes blurred up, and she grew sick in her stomach. She wanted to leave. She needed to leave now. She blinked back the tears from her eyes and with all the composure she possessed; she made her way over towards him, dragging her leg with her, and soon she was beside the two happy couple. ‘Easy, Jasmin, remember things are not always what they seem, take the advice you
The CEO's Contract With the thief CVI: Jealousy never goes away
Jasmin and Cainan were invited on a double date with Alex and Rogue’s at the Pearl lounge and though reluctant at first about going, Cainan back her against the wall literally and she had no other choice but to scream yes. She had stopped going to the restaurant because, according to Cainan’s calculations, this was her delivery week and she needed not to stress herself. He always made an interesting argument with his mouth. She needed this, though; she had stayed home in the last two days and despite almost always being connected with Anita and Andrew to keep up with progress; yet she was running crazy. Meeting Alex and Rogue was a breath of fresh air. They were a pair, madly I love with each other and barely able to keep their eyes off each other. Their son Rayge was sixteen months old, and he was being watched by Gloria, his nanny so that they could have time for themselves. Alex shared the beauty of being a mother, and also the pain. They encourage

Anita was sitting on the covered toilet with her head buried in her palms and she was sobbing into it. It was a shocking sight to Jasmin because she had known Anita for so long but had never seen her broken, sad or even upset. The highest emotion she had seen her display was anger, which happened once in a while. Anita was always happy and positive, and she feared what might have changed
