XCI: Afraid of being alone
Last Updated:
2021-09-27 12:16:07Jasmin felt Cainan's soft lips on her shoulder and she moaned and arched her back, pressing herself to him so that they were closer than they had ever been.
"It's been too long," he growled as his lips met her shoulder and sucked on a spot, sending weakening chills through her spine with speed she couldn't control or decipher. His tongue darted out, licking over her sensitive neck and she purred, gripping hard on the navy blue shirt he had on, not looking to let him go.
"So perfect, my love." he tilted her head and seized her lips in his while rocking himself against her.
She wanted him like she had never had him before; maybe even was desperate for this, desperate for him, his touch, his kiss, his caress, his fondle, his domination. She didn't want to wait another minute before having a fill of her hunger for him.
She moaned out, "Cainan, please touch me," and he obliged, his hand dipping into her already

Cainan slowly knocked on the door to Jasmin's apartment. A few seconds passed and the door slowly cracked open and there stood Anita at the door. And as her eyes met with Cainan’s, a scowl of displeasure grew on her face.“What do you want?”“I came to see Jasmin.”She crossed her arms over her chest and squarely stared at him. “Why? So you can break her heart even more? Drop her for the next desirable thing?”He shook his head, “Anita, please I need—”“No,” she held up a finger to suspend his speech, “you don’t get to come here and tell me what it is you need. Not after what you did to Jasmin!” she snapped.He ran his head through his dishevelled hair, “You’re right, what I did was horrible, but I need to see Jasmin. I need to explain everything to her.”Jasmin, who had heard a knock from the bedroom, wandered

After dinner, Daniel offered to take Anita home. George was working late hours than usual and wouldn’t be home until ten p.m. so Anita had spent most of the days after work with Jasmin since last week.Jasmin hugged Anita tightly and bid her farewell. She was grateful for hers and the other companies she had had these past two weeks; they didn’t make her feel the pain of Cainan’s absence as grievous as would have been.Jasmin went into the room to take a shower when he saw Cainan approached Lisa. She knew he was curious as to why she was living with her, and seeing how genuine he was would make Lisa tell him the truth about Xavier.She showered quickly and changed into her white nightgown. The pyjamas she previously wore were now smaller because of her bump and Lisa suggested she got a new one. Despite loving them, she had to let it go.She emerged into the living room and saw Lisa and Cainan having an intense discussion.&nbs

Jasmin's lashes parted with ease at the flicker of the ray of sunlight on her face and she moaned, coming into the awareness of her surroundings. A small tug on her stomach made her glanced down at her bump and a smile crossed her face.She noticed a warm arm fastened around her and when she something press against her; she realised it wasn’t a dream. He came last night, and he was now with her. A small smile played at the corner of her lips, and she stretched her hand out and squirmed aronight,und to see him.

“You sure you want to be here?” Cainan ask as their car came to a stop at the parking lot of the courthouse.Jasmin had appeared unannounced at his residence an hour ago. He had stepped out of the bathroom with nothing but his towel and when he saw her seated on his bed, wearing a sky-blue summer gown, it left him in a state of shock. It delighted him to see her as always, but her unexpected appearance in his room was surprising.After greeting her with a kiss on her lips, he inquired what she was doing at his place and she didn’t hesitate to tell him. She wanted to come with him to the courthouse for the final hearing. He thought she was joking at first, but she didn’t appear to be. She looked too determined to be joking.He walked to the wardrobe at the corner of the room where his clothes hung. He took off the towel and wore his black brief before picking up his trousers.“I appreciate your need to support me, Jasmin, but

“I never.” Cainan immediately denied it. Phillip walked to his desk and picked up pictures before handing them over to the judge and jury. “This was Attah’s fifth anniversary and if you look closely enough at those pictures, you will see red marks on Mrs Attah’s skin and my client did not inflict those. You did because she broke up with you.” His eyes flew over to Jasmin, seated at the side of the courtroom, and he pressed his lips together. “I was upset. I grabbed her, but I never laid a hand on her.” “You have a reputation though, ‘nobody messes with fire and goes unburnt’ and Clara got burnt from crossing you. You are explosive when things don’t go your way and you lash out, just like you did to my client weeks ago.” Phillip threw accusations at him. “Hugo Attah is innocent and all this is a vendetta against him because he took the one thing you didn’t want to lose, Clara.

He ended the call, set down the phone and leaned back against his chair, keeping his gaze on the young man as he wondered what mischief he was up to now. “Cainan, hello, my day gets better when I see you.” “I would have taken that as a compliment, but I know you too well. What do you want?” He cut straight to the point. Onü stuffed his hands into his black trouser and took two bold steps forward, “The usual.”

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.

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

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

"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

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
