CHAPTER 51

Jasmine's POV A part of me misses Xavier whom I haven't seen in three days.I'm sure he is purposely avoiding me because of that question I threw at him that night when I was having menstrual discomforts.I know he is busy too but I can feel it whenever he is avoiding me.It makes me miss him more and sends my mind into a tumbling confusion of emotions on why I feel this way.This is someone I claim to despise for all he has done, yet I miss his presence. I miss the safety and assurance that comes with his presence.Does this mean I trust him? Does it mean I want him? Does it mean I am willing to take the place of Andre without giving a care in the world if she is found or not? Does it mean I never want to leave here?What exactly do I want?This is what I don't know.And it scares me. It annoys me. It makes me feel pathetic.I guess the fact that he left me without answering my question that night after being so sweet and calm which was to my greatest surprise has me hooked on what

CHAPTER 52

Xavier's POV Jealousy and anger flares in my stomach when she agrees to go with Sophia to the club again.When Sophia told me Grandmother asked her to come take Jasmine with her, I knew they were up to something.Not wanting to leave Jasmine all by herself, I decided to follow but now that their chatter seems to have no end, I am regretting my decision already."He left me behind", Sophia says, glaring at me from the passenger's seat. Jasmine and I are seated behind her. She was chatting about how I ruined the whole thing for her when I came to the party to whisk Jasmine away and Jasmine also agreed with her, making me wonder how they became so close within a few hours of meeting.Sophia is like that. She is crazy, reckless and disrespectful. I wonder why Grandmother always allow her to have it all. She is a party goer and nothing or no one can stop her from doing what she wants.Jasmine does not say anything. She only smile and stare at me."What?!" I find myself asking when she con

CHAPTER 53

Xavier's POV He plasters a fake smile on his face to hide whatever he came here to do but I know what it is already.This is about Andre.First, it was his wife and now him. I believed strongly that his wife knew about Andre's disappearance and whereabouts all along but I can't believe he also deceived me.We made this agreement together. Why then will he support her disappearance?"Believe me, Xavier, it's not what you are thinking", the smile vanishes from his face immediately as he speaks. He must have figured that out already. I know that Andre is here and also his wife.Staring at Jasmine's face to be sure she is truly asleep, I close the door, signaling to the driver to stay put while I walk back into the club.I can't risk talking to him in the car with Jasmine. I don't want her to hear our conversation and even hear about the fact that Andre is indeed here in Italy like she told me and about how I know that she isn't Andre.I don't turn to see if he is following because I kn

CHAPTER 54

Xavier's POV Fear consumes me when I get to the car to see Jasmine and the driver missing.Without hesitation, I whirl around, glancing around to see if I can catch sight of one of them with my thoughts running wild.What the hell happened here?I left Nicholas inside after he told me Andre was on her way to Paris. There is no need to stay back in Italy since I am done with the other business and I see no need to have Andrew and Mathew running after her either.Nicholas will do that job or his wife will take the fall for it.Racing back into the club, I feel a twinge of regret for the second time for coming to this club with Sophia in the first place even though it is a blessing bumping into Moore here. Who knows, he might never have told me anything if I hadn't bumped into him.Even though it is almost midnight, the club is still rowing with music and dance and the crowd isn't even reducing at all. I force my way back to where Sophia and Jasmine were dancing earlier but can't find a

CHAPTER 55

Jasmine's POV Blinking my eyes open to the sunlight, I stretch with a loud yawn before realizing something is holding me back.Slowly, I look down, still lying on the bed, to see an arm snaked around my waist.I almost let out a scream as I jerk upright in fright only for me to see a man right next to me, deeply asleep.It is no other man than Xavier.A loud gasp leaves my mouth and then a banging headache follows.What the hell happened? Did he sleep here all night? Did I do anything funny?The headache is enough evidence that I must have had a lot of alcohol last night at the club. I wonder why I even allowed Barbie to convince me or why I had to convince Xavier to follow us so he could let me go. If I hadn't done that, he would have stood his ground and said no.Finally, I drop my hands staring at the handsome man sleeping next to me. I can't remember waking up next to him since we got married. I can count the number of times we slept on the same bed. Most times, whenever I woke

CHAPTER 56

Jasmine's POV Now, I remember it all.Everything about last night. The alcohol. The urine. The kiss and finally the puking.I shut my eyes in embarrassment, his scent intoxicating because of the nearness of his body to me which is serving as a reminder that he is here.How will I look him in the face now after all that drama?I was too preoccupied with my plan of stealing Mr. Moore's number from him to even try to remember how we got home last night or what happened.I only assumed I was drunk because of the banging headache which is done now after he gave me a pill and coffee to take."Are you ok?" His voice jerks me back to life, making me slide my eyes open to meet his amused expression.He is still mocking me.It is apparent that he is enjoying himself doing that.Feigning annoyance, I shift my gaze from his face before looking out of the window. We are on our way home. Back to New York.Funnily, I don't feel sad about leaving Italy or overwhelmed about going back to New York. I

CHAPTER 57

Xavier's POV Pulling up in front of Frank Costello's mansion, I snap my head to scan Jasmine in her beautiful black armless peplum dress, showing a lot of her cleavage and making me conscious of it.When she notices I am not getting out of the car even though the driver has pulled the door open for me, she turns to me with a questioning gaze.Then she smiles but it doesn't reach her beautiful brown eyes and it makes me wonder what is wrong with her.Since noon when we arrived and after that kiss, we haven't seen much of each other. I had some things to attend to but I made sure she was safely back home and ready for the party before rounding up and going home for a quick shower.I am wearing a black suit, matching it with leather Italian shoes and also a black rolex wristwatch.I barely attend parties unless necessary. But coming to Frank's party is one of my duties.I don't smile back. I just turned back and stepped down from the car before going to the other side to help her out.M

CHAPTER 58

Jasmine's POV When the old man said that, my heart pounded hard within my ribcage but I wasn't happy or excited about it.I do not know if it's because I want to be the one to bring forth the evidence about me not being Andre or because I am not ready for all of this to be out yet even though I don't know how this man got to know I am not her.Xavier on the other hand exclaimed in disbelief before dragging the man away.I become uneasy.I want to go with them and hear it all. Satisfy my curiosity about how he got to know the difference between Andre and me.Is it just the personality or he knows something about me that I don't even know about myself?Staring at the two guards behind my seat, I stand upright without thinking further and try to find my way towards the direction Xavier and the man, Frank are taking when one of the guards suddenly stands in front of me, blocking my way."I need to use the bathroom", I say to him slowly, hoping he will let me go. This is the only excuse I

CHAPTER 59

Jasmine's POV A shiver of anticipation darts down my spine as soon as we are out of Ethan's sight. However, I notice how stiff Mr. Moore is still right beside me and I see his fists clench with his jaws in obvious anger.It makes me wonder if he is mad at me or someone else.The thought alone almost makes me give up on telling him what I saw and heard and asking him what he knows.But I know I need to do this.I need his help.Xavier will only believe me. He doesn't even believe Mr. Moore when he told him I wasn't his daughter so how will he believe Frank who isn't Andre's father?Even though we are on good terms now, Xavier will always be a jerk.Finding a seat right outside the mansion, I flop down heavily expecting him to do the same but he only stands, staring at me with a distant look on his face."Mr. Moore?" I rise immediately with concern, my hand touching his tense shoulder. "Are you ok? Is everything alright?"As though my words are what is making him come back to reality,

CHAPTER 60

Xavier's POV She comes close to stand next to me, her perfume drifting to my nostril, making me look up at her.She smiles.It is nowhere like the smile she threw my way last night at the party which didn't reach her eyes nor the joyless one she flashed at Frank Costello.Even though I really want to know what transpired between her and Nicholas, I am keeping my cool but I know Jasmine and her inquisitive nature. Coming here when I am working means she has questions and needs answers and I am not in the mood for that.Without a word, she flops to the chair next to me, her presence distracting me.Suddenly, surprised at her silence, I close my laptop and fold my arms around my bosom. "Why are you here?"I am not ready to answer her questions but I want to know what it is this time.She shrugs nonchalantly like she has no questions. "Just bored. Decided to keep you company. Don't worry, I won't make a noise so you can go ahead with your work. I couldn't sleep either."I don't believe h
