XLVIII: Such a handful
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Jasmin was barely out of the building when she saw Cainan Lexus car driving over to where she stood, and as soon as it parked, Felix stepped out and made his way towards her. She was in a white long sleeve and black jeans trousers.
Ada had invited her many weeks ago to come and bake with her at home, but a few reasons contributed to her not being able to go and every time she explained to Ada, the amazing woman always understood. She would have made it two weeks ago, but Ada had a sudden meeting with a few partners at Riá-no and her visit had to be put on hold. Today they were both free from work and responsibility and Jasmin knew this was the best opportunity, so she called Ada, who informed her she was going to be baking today, and Jasmin happily got ready.
Ada must have called and told Cainan about her arrival because he called her, asking if Ada had put any form of pressure on her. Ada was a woman with impressive persuasive skil

She wanted Cainan more than anything, but she also knew what they had existed strictly because of an agreement and she wanted to leave it that way. Cainan was also unpredictable with his words and actions and often said what he didn’t really mean, especially when he was around her or referring to her. A few times she had fallen for his words and actions, only to regret it much later. Their job was to convince everyone and Cainan in the last couple of months had been doing a marvellous job at it and she needed to keep doing the same. “Daddy is home!” Daniel informed Ada, whose eyes lit up at the words and she spun away, giving room for Jasmin to breathe. Ada untied the apron from around her neck before tossing it to the counter and walking out. Jasmin was overwhelmed by how affected Ada was at the knowledge of her husband and she knew it had to be love. She couldn’t help longing fo

Two weeks later... “What are your schedules for the next three days, Ms Whyte?” Cainan asked as he stepped into her office. “Well, hello to you too, Mr Inferno and they are hectic.” Setting up the restaurant was easily said than done. They have visited countless businesses and even homes, offering their services in hopes for future patronage and though the first week was tough, there have The much turning up this week and they had reached a ten per cent increase on the customers trooping in. Cainan’s involvement in the entire project made it easier, and Jasmin was grateful. He visited almost every day to ask if there was anything she needed. A gesture she tried not to get too used to because that was only going to give her heart false hope, which it shouldn’t have. He had kept to his words of not treating her differently because of the pregnancy but last week; he stressed the need for her to not overwork herself as she n
The CEO's Contract With the thief LI: The whole truth
As they reached the airport, one worker came up to them and collected their bag, moving to load it into the plane while another came and directed them to the waiting area where the Abayomis were waiting for them. Donald was sitting on one of the long chairs, holding onto the hand of Ada, who was sitting beside him. He simply dressed in black khaki trousers and an oxblood shirt and Ada was in a black kaftan. Lisa was standing beside Xavier, wearing black jeans trousers and a red blouse. Her pretty face had light make-up on it and her hair was in a medium-sized afro. Xavier was in a grey polo and black jeans. His blond hair was in a neat bun and he was raring a full beard on his broad face, which made him look mature and though there was a change in his look, his great facial features couldn’t hide away. His blue eyes were piercing, and he had them intently fixed on Lisa all the while. They were both holding ma
The CEO's Contract With the thief LII: Fit in your agenda
Jasmin got down from the SUV to behold the holiday home before her, where they were going to be spending the next three days, and her mouth almost hit the floor. It was magnificent and wide, with a large built-in pool at the corner of the building and a relaxation centre next to it. The holiday home seemed to have a lot in store, from the look of it, and Jasmin honestly couldn’t wait. “I’m glad you are already excited,” Cainan spoke as he got to where she was, wrapping his arms around her. “I am excited, it’s really beautiful.” “Not as beautiful as you.” His hands tightened around her and heat shot through her body in response. She turned around in his arms to meet his mesmerising green eyes and almost regretted that action. His head leaned in, and now his face was an inch away from hers. She opened her mouth to speak, but her brain couldn’t make out the words and she just stared at him like an idiot wh
The CEO's Contract With the thief LIII: It isn't a relationship
She turned and lifted her head to see Remi holding on to her iPhone 12 with her earphone hanging around her neck. She was wearing wrecked, faded-blue bum shorts and a grey sweater along with a pair of grey flip-flops. Since the pool was inbuilt, it regulated the temperature to be conducive and Remi wouldn’t feel cold in the little she wore. She shook her head, then accompanied it with, “No, you’re not, Remi, I wasn’t really doing anything.” Remi moved closer and sat down beside the pool as well, and her legs slowly dipped into it. “I needed this,” she moaned in relief and her eyes briefly fluttered. Jasmin couldn’t help staring at the young lady. “Ada said you all come here every Christmas.” she spoke, causing Remi’s eyes to open up and after she nodded, they closed again. She was never good at small talks and as much as she could, she avoided it. But she wanted to talk to someone, anyone that was
The CEO's Contract With the thief LIV: I stopped being boring
The room was slightly dark and quiet when Jasmin stepped inside and shut the door. Her heart was pounding heavily against her chest and she was shivering in anticipation of what was going to happen. She knew what she did, and she knew Cainan was pissed, and she knew he was going to get back at her for it, but she didn’t know how or when. She had stayed an extra two hours at the pool because she had read somewhere that time helped people get control of their emotions and Cainan appeared to be annoyed when he left her at the pool earlier and so time was the best way to let him diffuse. She spotted him on the couch at the corner of the room beside the shelf and her footsteps slowed. His head was resting against the arm of the couch and his legs spread out in front, and Jasmin had to convince herself mentally that his position wasn’t a silent invitation to be straddled. “Mr Inferno,” she called out faintly. His eyes open
The CEO's Contract With the thief LV: Without me
As Jasmin’s eyes opened, she realised Cainan was no longer beside her. Her heart shrunk a little, and she curled herself into a ball on the bed. She was a little heartbroken and disappointed, but she wasn’t expecting a lot. Last night happened because she begged for it, but what other choice did she have? He was going to leave her undone as punishment for calling him boring and she didn’t think she was ready for that; she knew she wasn’t ready for an unfulfilled night. Begging was the only way out, and that was what she resorted to. Flashback “Please, Cainan.” “Why are you begging me, Jasmin?” “Because I need you.” His brow furrowed. “You need me, you need this boring man?” he teased with a smirk appearing at the corner of his lips. He had her backed against the wall and he knew it. Her cheeks warmed, and she felt embarrassed at her shameless demand for him, but she could not stop anymore. She nodded vigorously.

Silence hovered around for the first few seconds that passed, and all they did was stare at each other. “Can I join you?” he broke the silence with his polite request, a small smile on his face as his green eyes stared at her. She couldn’t help her eyes as they wandered on his body, flickering around shamelessly and then down to his semi-hard cock, hanging out freely. When her eyes finally lifted, she found him closely staring at her and her cheeks heat in response and she tried looking away. “Like what you see?” he cocked an eyebrow at her and took a step forward, even without her permission. She smiled nervously and looked away, rubbing her hands over her body which the hot water was descending on. Her action wasn’t helping Cainan stay focus, but that was the point. “I always have. Where did you go?” she asked, picking the lemon flavoured bar soap from its holder hanging on the white-tiled wall and lathering he

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.

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.

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.

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
