All Chapters of The Billionaire's old flame (Revenge has never been sweeter): Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

JASMIN€ I'm certain of one thing. I have already thought out a good scheme to bring Ace pain. But for that to happen, I needed to get through this shoot. So that's what I was currently doing. There were blinding lights everywhere, with the camera focused on me and a very diligent camera man throwing instructions my way once in a while, the upcoming ‘Layde’ neckpiece was elegantly sitting around my neck and I was currently modelling for the campaign shoot, following it's prelaunch. I didn't expect work to start so soon, but it seemed the team was not about to stall this project. Thats good. Atleast I get to kick his wicked ass early and have my sweet revenge. I was in a room filled with a bunch of people from the advertising team of the company as they were all teaming up to make this project a success, yet he was no where to be seen. I couldn't help but wonder why he wasn't here, although my focus was on the shoot. “Yes, aha…chin up a bit Miss Jasmine..ah yes, very good, th

JASMIN£ “Get away from my girlfriend, Ace.” I heard, we both heard, which made my head whip faster than it should have to the direction of where the voice came from. I got the shock of my life to find Armani, standing there giving Ace a heated glare. That was when his warning resounded in my head. He was the one who said it. He called me his girlfriend. I was overwhelmed and speechlessly, I glanced back at Ace, who frowned before also diverting his gaze to the direction of the voice. His gaze locked with his brother's in a burning glare. “Come here babe…” Armani voiced, with his eyes steadily on Ace. In that distracted moment, I pushed Ace away from me, sprinting into the arms of Armani. Hugging him close, clutching his jacket. This was definitely an act, and I'm all about playing along. His firm hands held me closer to him, as he placed a kiss on my forehead. “Been looking for you all night……” The gears were turning in my head, but I decided to keep up with the act. “

JASMIN£ The plot is coming up well, but getting on Ace's good side seemed to be hard to achieve. Yet I was relentless because I have to get into his good books, so that when my scheme goes well,he will not point an accusing finger at me. He is smart that way, to suspect me for the hazard I am about to mysteriously cause, and that is something I cannot risk. Tonight was the dinner party, so I got dressed in a luxury fitting. It was a dinner for the elites. Lots of political executives and businessmen, would be gracing the meeting,considering a famous icon was the host, I needed to look my best. So I picked out an elegant blue slip gown that hugged my curves. It had a cowl neckline, with a side slit that gave a view of my toned legs. I paired my dress with a silver louboutin with diamond necklace and bracelet. I wore light makeup and matched it with red lipstick because I was feeling bold. Tonight's look was simple, yet classy. I had ordered a gift for him, Ace, which I picked u

JASMIN£ I paused and turned to her with a frown. “WHAT. WAS. THAT?” She asked spitely with raging eyes directed at me. “What do you mean?” I asked. “The stunt you pulled at the casino…” she gritted out. “You did it to get his attention didn't you?” I couldn't help but frown at her statement. If she thought, I put my life in danger just to attract her so called boyfriend then she was totally wrong. “So what did it look like to you? That I purposely endangered my well being or that I faked everything just to get Ace's attention?” I asked in a ludicrous manner. I can't believe her way of thinking. “I don't know….he was all over you there….” she waved a frustrated hand about. Then took a threatening step closer. “Jasmine, I might have been friendly to you tonight but I just want to remind you of your place. You are his employee, you only know Ace on a contract, but you don't know me. You don't know what I can do. So now, I'm warning you. Stay away from my boyfriend or you can ki

ACEI stirred in my bed, feeling the soft morning glow from the sun kissing my bare torso through the unfurled curtains before I peeled my eyes open, to meet sight with a very familiar ceiling.A ceiling I had not opened my eyes to in years. My childhood bedroom ceiling.I sat up,definitely surprised and tried to recall why I had fallen asleep here, but instead a monster headache set in.I groaned at the effect, and I perceived the alcohol in my breath, making me palm my face.Shit, how much did I drink last night?And what the fuck happened?How did I end up here?I was still rubbing my head to soothe the ache, as I downed Advil tablets, and just in, a pungent smell of burning paper and smoke wafted through my nose, eliciting a cough from me.Leaving me to wonder where the heck the smell came from.Wanting to know, I slid the duvet aside, getting out of bed and following the smoke, as I waved my hand around to clear it off.I got closer to the source, my closet and heard a soft fem
