What happens when tragedy strikes? Do you let it define you? Or do you sit still and let it consume you until you lose face? The life of Jasmine Harts began to crumble down before her face when she discovered that her husband, Fabian Harts had impregnated his mistress. This made her feel worse as her marriage was already nothing to write home about. It seemed as though their daughter was not enough for the Harts who wanted an heir. So Jasmine thought of leaving home but Fabian would not let her as he was scared of losing face before the public. But when his mistress puts it on demand that he makes her his wife or risk his reputation getting ruined, Fabian had no choice but to frame his wife Jasmine of infidelity. This way he could get rid of her without losing face. Jasmine was prevented from taking her daughter with her when she was thrown out of the mansion. And little Aria was just four years old. Will Jasmine let things slide after the cruelty of the Harts? Will the little and innocent Aria Jasmine was forced to leave behind at the mercy of her husband’s family remain sweet and innocent? Let’s see what happens!

Chapter 1: Crazy Woman

“Good morning Mrs. Jasmine!” A woman wearing an apron and carrying a tray greeted. Her greetings were addressed to the fair lady who laid on her bed with her palm on her head. “Please drop it there and leave! I would not want to be disturbed this morning?” The lady said to the woman who dropped the tray. She was one of the many maids in the mansion. “You did not have to be rude to the maid. Ruth has been working in this mansion even before you came in as my wife”. A man’s voice could be heard in the room. But he was completely out of the woman’s sight. “Good for you! Same reason your family thinks I should not be your wife because your girlfriend was there before me and she could have probably bore an heir”. Jasmine said. The man walked out of his dressing room. He looked ready for work. He stood by the bed. He pulled up Jasmine and asked her to take her medication. But she refused. She told him he was pathetic. “By going against my family in keeping you? Or by trying to make you

Chapter 2: Never Been Addressed As Mrs. Fabian

Aria’s food was brought to Aria’s room. Jasmine despite knowing Aria could feed herself refused Aria from doing that. She fed Aria. Then dressed the little girl up. She told Aria not to dirty her dress nor get it rumbled. She left Aria’s room after giving the little girl that instruction. “Mommy! Are we going to see Kelvin?” Little Aria had asked her mother before she completely went out of sight. The only time they left the house was when they are going to see her mother’s best friend who has a son, “Kelvin”. Aria takes it that they were going to Kelvin’s place. “No questions now Aria!” Jasmine had said before finally disappearing from Aria’s room. Jasmine went to her shared room with Fabian, her husband. Instead of taking her bath, Jasmine just took of her sleeping garment. She dressed herself in a pair of jeans and a black top. Then left the room with a bag hanging over her shoulder. Jasmine went back to get her daughter Aria. She carried the four year old and left with her.

Chapter 3: Fabian's Property

Diana told Jasmine she could only make her sandwich at the moment. Jasmine didn’t mind. All she cared for was getting something into her stomach. So Diana did make her sandwich which she ate. And then the two of them sat down to discuss Jasmine’s life. Diana asked Jasmine to file for a divorce since Fabian has gone ahead to impregnate his mistress while still not treating her well. “If that was possible, I would have done that a long time ago. I’m literally Fabian’s property. I don’t think I can leave”. Jasmine interrupted when Diana said she knows a divorce lawyer. “But you clearly said you want to leave him, didn’t you?” Diana sounded shocked. Jasmine sighed heavily. She told Diana she was only saying things she could not do. “So what if he helped your family get out of debt? Is five years of slavery not enough for him? Do you have to stay there for a lifetime? Hasn’t he taken over your family’s business for compensation?” Diana said. She was angry. Diana told Jasmine that Fab

Chapter 4: The Divorce Talk

Jasmine, knowing fully well what awaits her within those walls walked with her head held high. She had her daughter in her arms as she walked into the mansion. Fabian was there, standing with his back to the door that welcomes you to the interior. Madam Clautra rushed to take Aria from Jasmine. It was as though the woman already knew what would happen. She left with Aria in her arms leaving Jasmine and Fabian alone in the foyer. “You are back home early”. Jasmine said coolly despite the intense atmosphere. “Where the hell are you coming from?” Fabian asked Jasmine not replying to what she had initially said. “An apartment that’s like a pen compared to your mansion; there was love where I went”. Jasmine said calmly. Fabian scowled at her. Then with a deep darken voice, he ordered her to follow him. She scoffed, but she followed him as he led her to his study. Jasmine wondered why he was leading her to a place where he forbids her from going. He would never want her there. But sh

Chapter 5: A Hideous Thing

Two Weeks LaterJasmine woke up with a strong headache. She could barely lift her head off the bed, so she just stayed down for a while. She felt sore as well and wondered if she was falling sick.“I hope I’m not falling sick right now? I do not want to be a burden to anyone”. Jasmine said. She stayed relaxed for a while, then proceeded to leave the bed. She felt quite dizzy. Then she realised she was in a different place. It does not look like her home. She rushed towards the door wanting to look outside. Perhaps they changed the decor, that was what she thought. But she opened the door to find out that the hall was different and there seemed to be too many rooms along the hallway. She rushed back inside to find a man that was not there when she woke up. He had a towel loosely wrapped below his waistline, giving off a bit of his downside. “Who are you? And what are you doing here? I mean why am I here?” Jasmine asked all at once. The man wore a smirk. He took a few strides towar

Chapter 6: Behind The Covers Of A Good Wife

She walked out of the bathroom without knowing if she was courageous enough to face her cheating husband who has succeeded in tainting her. But it never occurred to her that she would be unphased by the scene before her eyes. They didn’t change position. They were still on the bed, with Katherine’s head rested on Fabian’s chest. And Jasmine didn’t know where the laugh came from. Except for the fact that she was the one laughing, she had no clue what part of her was doing that. She walked into her dressing room where she looked for what to wear in her closet. Then she undressed herself, her eyes spotting the hickeys she was covered in from the mirror. Jasmine felt disgusted by what she was seeing on herself, but there was nothing she could do about it. She decided to act like she was not bothered by the hickeys. She dropped the jet black jumpsuit she has taken from the closet on the chair sitting in front of the mirror. All she needed was in that dressing room. She contemplated tak

Fabian took the phone, the call had already been disconnected, so he called his mother back. It was as though the woman was expecting his call, she did not wait for her phone to ring twice before answering it. “What is this that I hear Fabian?

It tasted bitter, and he liked it. Even thou

Chapter 8: Evil

“Children practice exactly what they see, they say. What example would Jasmine be teaching this poor thing now?” Katherine’s voice filled the almost empty hall. She was now in the foyer. It seems she had witnessed everything. She got to Aria before Clautra could. She leaned in closer to the little girl and whispered into her ears,“Your mother is being atrocious. She is evil. And she doesn’t mind doing it in front of you knowing fully well you might take her footsteps”. Katherine said to the 4 year old who just looked into space, probably trying to process what Katherine had just said. But then, confusion creeps into her face as she seemed unsure what to make of Katherine’s words. Katherine dragged the little girl outside with her. Clautra tried to stop her, more like she wanted to. But she was fearful of what Katherine could do to her. She hates Katherine. The woman was never up to no good. And if anyone questions her, she paint them black before Fabian’s eyes. ************Jasmine

Chapter 10: Divorced And Deprived

Jasmine watched as Mrs. Hart’s car drove into the compound and parked in front of the mansion. The reporters were already trolling out of the compound one after the other. They met her by the gate. Mrs. Hart did not seem to come out of her car until all the reporters were gone from the compound. One of the reporters stopped to ask Jasmine a few question, but got attacked by Jasmine instead. Jasmine needed to pass out her frustration somewhere, and this reporter seemed to have asked just the right question to trigger Jasmine and make her go wild. “How many men have you slept with? Is your husband the actual father of your daughter?” The reporter asked Jasmine. And this got her the right reason to attack. It was the right reason for her, but not to those who turned on their camera on her to record her harassing a poor reporter as people had put it. They never cared to know what the reporter did. Jasmine was fined for assault and was detained for a while. When she was released on bai
