Twenty-One

Jasmine's POV. "We are going to be attending a few meetings soon. It's basically to introduce you to the world as my wife so that everyone gets the memo. I think that should be sufficient for us to build whatever connection we need and get on with the main project." Mr Blackwood spoke while I lounged on the reclining chair with a smile on my face flicking through each page of the local newspaper. The tabloids had gone agog and I was happy about that. This wasn't an era when anyone was afraid or what people were going to say. They were surely going to have opinions about things the new nothing about."Is that so?" I flicked through the next page, watching through the top of the newspaper as he clenched his fists. I knew what he was trying to do. He wanted me to get him the information as soon as possible and get rid of me which was the same thing I wanted but didn't want him to be the one with the idea. He was stoic, losing every form of familiarity rebuilt that night. Apart from th

Twenty-Two

Jasmine's POV.The media runs were pretty decent and I didn't think that it would be so coordinated and no stupid questions flying here and there . It was all just filled with people wishing us love and longer life and enjoyment basically. I commended these Media personnels who were able to extricate their feelings which was evident on their faces and asked the right questions that were valuable to the listeners the talked about "So how did you meet your husband?" A brown skin woman asked me and I shrugged, while wearing a pleasant smile on my face hoping that my parents and sister were watching. I knew they were going to be green with envy but that was their business I had other businesses to do. "Meeting my husband was very untimely and unplanned but I guess when the universe wants people to align, things just work out. I was recovering from a bad breakup and met my husband in that state. I must tell you it was not easy for him to convince me to marry him given the age difference

Twenty-Three

Jasmine's POV.I headed into the lobby of the high-rise building with a boss' smile on my face. It was a smart move on Blackwood's part as I wasn't expecting this at all. "I need to see your manager." I spoke to the receptionist who looked younger than I was, probably just out of college trying to find her footing in the corporate world. This was one of Donovan's alias companies. He refused to make it public because he was trying to run away from the cops. Ever since I knew this, I took it as my duty to come see what I could find and change the narrative. "Good morning ma. May I know your name?" She inquired with a wide smile on her face and I rolled my eyes, not necessarily being in the mood for any form of pleasantries. "You know who I am. Mrs Blackwood. I just got married last week and was in the face of a lot of magazines." I thought however I smiled at her. "Mrs Blackwood." I answered in a cool tone which didn't fit what I wanted to say. If she knew what I was here for, she

Twenty-Four

Jasmine's POV. Mr Blackwood's call came in a minute later and I was happy that he actually obeyed what I had told him. It wasn't every time that one was able to get a man to do what they wanted."Hello darling." He said and I raised my brows at the unusual compliments. You were not in the public eye so there was absolutely no need for him to go down that route, also, I didn't understand why he was calling and texting at the same time. "I need to tell you something." He spoke and I was a bit perplexed because this wasn't supposed to be happening at least not yet. "Yeah, go ahead,""I hear that my son is coming to that company. I just wanted to give you a heads up so that you don't panic over nothing." He explained and I sighed. That was completely fine. I could deal with my ex lover and the way I wanted. He was the one who was trying to pretend to the media as a very good person but I was going to make them see the beast behind his decent face. "oh, I thought that it was something

Twenty-Five

Jasmine's POV. If looks could kill then I would have been ten not six feet under the ground. My eyes were rolling at this point but I didn't want any situation where I would have to confront him in public."Kindly, make welcome, Miss Jasmine. She will blow your mind." The manager stated, causing me to laugh at Jake who looked stifled."Why don't we allow Mr. Jake to finish with his presentation?" I suggested, causing all eyes to land on me. I feared for the manager's life because with the way Jake was glaring at him, he could hire assassins because of that. "There's no need for that. We want new innovative ideas. If you have one, kindly come to the platform." Jake answered dismissively, and I rose.I marched to the platform with a wide smile on my face as I saw him almost tearing his hair out. This was the worst thing that a man could face. To the manager, he was only happy to share with his partners what has been happening which made me laugh anyway. He had to realize his mistake.

Twenty-Six

Jasmine's POV."Amber, who is in the house?" I inquired as soon as I heard voices shouting from within. This was an estate so I didn't expect stuff like that to happen."It's Mr Jake. He is having a spat with his father. I don't think they want anyone to hear this." She replied and I rolled my eyes before climbing up the porch. I lived for this kind of drama. It meant a lot to me and I wasn't going to pass up this opportunity. "Are you kidding me right now Dad? Why would I get to a meeting where you know that my ex will be present and find out that she is also presenting at the same time?" I heard Jake's voice clearly.Oh he was still miffed by the aforementioned incident. I never knew he would leave his fiance and come here to have this conversation. This was totally unnecessary and I felt bad on his behalf. I pulled the door open and walked into the first living room. I wanted to see the shock on his face when I walked in and stared at him angrily. "So what is all of this about?

Twenty-Seven

Jake's POV. I rolled my eyes as soon as I saw Gwen weeping. It was going to be a long day and I wondered how I could be free from this mess. "What is the problem honey?" I inquired and she burst into a fit of tears. This wasn't the kind of mental stress I wanted to deal with upon my arrival at home. It didn't make any sense to me that she was crying as though something had been stolen from her. "Will you just tell me what the problem really is so that I know how to help?" I inquired brashly. I was going through a lot from the office, adding her problems were only going to compound things. Gwen faced me and burst into tears again. I felt like going out of the house and resting in a hotel just to cool my head from all the stress of the day. My position was being threatened by that pitch Jasmine made. I didn't need to hear it verbally to know what was going on through those people's minds. The manager for one wasn't good at hiding his feelings. He sang her praises after she l

Twenty-Eight

Jasmine's POV.I poked my head into Mr Blackwood's office and saw him bobbing his head lightly to a soft music playing in the background. It was one of Whitney Houston's classics."You can come in." He spoke and I smiled before walking in. We weren't able to have a conversation after his son left because I guess everyone was still riding the high of the tension Jake had caused between both of us. "How did your meeting with Gwen go?" He inquired and my eyes widened slightly. "You are stalking me now?" I inquired instead and pulled out a seat, sighing softly as I sat on the cushion. "This is a lovely sofa. I bet it's really expensive." I began, changing the subject. He shrugged, indicating that he had no business with the price of things, he only loved them and took them into his custody. "I think someone gifted me for the wedding and stuff." He spoke casually. Sometimes I forgot the presence of who I was. He was a very wealthy man who had everything going on for him except this sit

Twenty-Nine

Jasmine's POV"Do we have everything set up?" Мг. Blackwood called from within the house and I nodded. I was still trying to understand his paranoia, we were supposed to go fishing to present a united front before our enemies. Rumors have been flying all around that we might have just been deceiving the world."I have everything set up. Are you sure that the boat is safe?" I countered his question."Of course, why would I want to endanger my life by going on a dangerous cruise?" He answered in a matter of fact tone. This was a trait of older men. They were risk averse.I was yet to be able to penetrate him which was quite disturbing. He had an impeccable self-control that had me second-guessing the fact that I had met him that night. It was almost like I was non-existent which while that should be a good thing, it rubbed off wrongly on me. I wasn't looking for his friendship or anything of the sort but I needed him to act like I existed. I sometimes felt like a tool in his hands to ge

Thirty

Jasmine's POV.We walked towards the beast in the waters and I admired the way the waves beat upon the shore threatening to pull people under. Since it was a private beach, there were only a few people present and I appreciated that a lot more than having to face the crowd. "Are the equipment ready?" He inquired from a man who was at the dock. "Good morning Mr Blackwood. Such a pleasure to meet you after so long." He gushed and I squinted as the morning sun hit my face, burning it up "Is there anything you want to add to this?" Mr black with inquired from the man again. "Such a beautiful wife you have here. Not a lot of people have such an opportunity to be with a pretty damsel." He said and I shook my head in anger. Was it supposed to make any sense, especially when he was standing before a very important person. I expected that he would show some sign of decorum. "A beautiful wife not for you to stare at." Mr Blackwood answered promptly and I've never felt so proud than I was
