Chapter 57 & 58 : Managing Scandals
🌹Jasmine’s POV🌹
🚫Exactly One hour ago🚫
I opened the door and my facial expression changed instantly as looked at the unpleasant face staring back at me.
“What are you doing here?” I asked with zero emotions as she stared at me from head to toe in a disgusting manner before scoffing loudly
“Move!!!!” She yelled as she brushed past me, shoving me out of the way as I staggered and maintained my stance, she flipped her hair virgoursly while looking around.
“Who the fĂşck are you looking for!” I snapped and she paused before staring at me, her blonde hair complementing her chiseled jawline, Mandy is attractive lady, right from birth she has always carried herself with so much pride as if she’s doing humanity a favor for breathing air.
“I’m looking for Jayson, and don’t you dare get in my way!” She fires back and I opened my mouth to say something but scrèwed it shut instantly as she jugged upstairs, I didn’t bother to go after her as I strode into the kitchen, looking for what to eat, this goddamn pregnancy is opening my stomach.
A few minutes later I heard heavy footsteps and I sighed, rubbing my forehead as Mandy barged into the kitchen and grabbed my hands roughly, a mild scream escaped my lips as I stared at her, my eyes wide open.
“What the fĂşck is wrong with you!, How did you even get into this Mansion!?” I yelped out and she smiles mischievously.
“You bĂ®tch!, I thought you died years ago but you didn’t and now you’ve taken the only man that matters to me and you think I’m going to let you have him!” Mandy’s shrill voice almost burned my ears as I managed to free myself.
“Have you lost it!?, You came to my house and you are yelling!?, First off…. Jayson is my husband and you don’t stand a chance to have him!” I blasted out before I could stop myself, even though I’m really mad at Jayson, I just can’t allow someone else to come and stake a claim on him, at least not when I’m still around.
“I’m going to make you regret ever crossing Jayson’s path!” She yelled and I scoffed, pushing her out of the way as I walked towards the kitchen cabinet to grab something, this bĂ®tch really picked the wrong person to mess with, for a moment I didn’t hear anything and I sighed
“If you are done yelling, the door is wide open…. don’t forget to shut it on your way out!”
I semi yelled and I got no response, I raised an eyebrow as I turned around sharply but got welcomed with a small kitchen pistol hitting me directly on the forehead, it was really hard that I held my head and a mild scream escaped my lips, jolting me to the ground as I watched Mandy gasped and then hurriedly ran away, I heard the door bang shut loudly and I tried to call for help but my vision became blurry and soon darkness eglofed me completely.
I groaned in pains as my eyes flutter open, my eyes were heavy and my head hurts as I tried moving my body, everything hurts at the moment as I looked around and found myself in my room, my well straighten eyebrows dipped forward as slowly sat up, my head was bandaged and it hurts.
Who brought me here?, My thoughts ragged as I touched my bandaged head and winced a little bit, bitting my lips as I tried to suppress the pains.
The door opened and Jayson walked in, he’s currently cladded in a sweatpant and tank top, not doing me any good as I allowed my eyes do the digging, it’s been days and he looks leaner but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s also dangerously attractive.
He took three steps and stopped, studying me as I looked back at me, my eyes were swollen, I don’t need a soothsayer to tell me that, the deafening silence between us made everything akward as I slowly looked away and cleared my throat, his burning gaze drilling holes in my body.
“Who did this to you?” His voice made me face him again and this time he was closer.
“You girlfriend…..the one you are supposed to marry” I choked out as I stared back at him and he furrowed his eyebrows, I could clearly see his jaw tightened.
“Last time I checked, you were the only girl I was forced to marry and I didn’t have any other option so tell me, who the fĂşck did this to you?” He said curtly and I scoffed.
“Forced to marry?, I didn’t know you were forced to marry me….” I said as I tried my possible best to suppress the hurt building deep inside me
“It hurts right?, Exactly how I felt when you said you wanted a divorce” he pointed out and I looked away, I obviously forgot that I started this whole drama.
“I didn’t mean it, I was just going through a really difficult time and I said that out of anger, I never really meant it” I said the last part inaudibly and he finally closed the space between us…. humping on the other side of the bed as he was facing me directly……my breath inched as he made me face him, staring directly at his gorgeous face.
“You hurt me…..do you know that?” He sounded husky and my lips parted…..my eyes darted to the bed and he lifts my head up with his index finger and I just couldn’t maintain eye contact as my eyes roamed everywhere on his face but his eyes……I couldn’t look at him in the eyes
“I…. didn’t mean…to” I stutter and a smile twitched on the corner of his lips as his hand leaves my face and slowly caress my jaw….
“Who hurt you?” He asked again and I closed my eyes before opening them slowly.
“Mandy…..she was here an hour ago and she started yelling, looking for you and we exchanged words and the next thing she hit me with a kitchen pistol” I narrated and his features changed instantly as anger was visible, he immediately tried leaving but I held his hand quickly, stopping him as he looked back at me.
“What are you going to do?” I asked with a dry lump hanging at the back of my throat.
“Maim her of course, she almost killed you!” He snapped and I shook my head, grabbing his forearms tightly, crashing my weight on his broad chest as I hugged him.
“I can’t let you go after her, no after what happened between you and Jasper, just let it go” I said and felt his heartbeat mixing with mine, he’s trying to regulate his anger as he arms finally wrapped me up, he sat down and I straddled him, gluing to his chest like a leech.
“I can’t just let her go, she hurt you and if I don’t do something about it…. she might come back again” he voiced out and I raised my head from his chest and looked at him, God!….. just how much have I missed being so close to him.
“If you had been here, then none of this would have happened” I said and he titls his head.
“Now you are blaming me?” He asked and I shook my head before smiling.
“I was just saying, besides you are here now…. nothing is going to happen to me as long as you are here” I said chessyly and he pulled me closer, our faces inches apart.
“I’m still going to teach her a lesson, nobody messes with what’s mine and get away with it” he whispered and I could swear my heart skipped a beat, my lips parted as he captured my lips in a lingering kiss, bitting slowly as I tried not to put much energy because my head was still hurting me badly, he noticed my discomfort and pulled away….. and I smiled…. dipping my face in the crook of his neck he caressed my back.
“I missed you so much, I thought I was going to die” he sounded serious and I raised my head slowly, I felt giddy and my heart made fluttering sounds as I opened my mouth to say something but paused, I raised an eyebrow as my hand subconsciously trailed to his neck, right where his rose flower tattoo was inked beautifully, but that isn’t what actually caught my attention.
“Jayson?” I called as my hand continued trailing on the new tattoo inked beautifully beneath the rose.
“Yeah?” He answered with a chuckle as he looked at my shocked expression.
“Is that my….. name?” I stuttered and he smiled
“Yup, got it three days ago after I nearly murdered Jasper” he sounded casual but my face still holds a shock expression as I couldn’t caressing the ink.
“W…..why?” I asked with a sudden feeling of excitement bursting deep within me.
“Because they’re my most favorite things in the whole world….. you and your love for Rose flowers” he said and I couldn’t help the blush waging my cheeks as it turned crimstone…..I covered my face as he laughed at my childlike behavior.
“Someone is blushing….” He trails and I shook my head.
“I’m not blushing….. I’m just….. nobody has ever done something like this for me” I sounded childish and I cursed myself inwardly.
“Good, because I would have find that person and make sure i get rid of them completely, you are mine, don’t you get it?….. you are fĂącking mine, Star” he said and my eyes met his as he entertwined our fingers together and kissed it tenderly.
“I’m yours…..” I trail….I didn’t know when it slipped out of my mouth but I don’t really give a fĂşck.
“Say that again…..louder this time” he cooed as his right hand sneaks beneath my sweatshirt and he caress my stomach.
“I’m….. yours” I say again….a bit louder and a smile creept on his face and he leaned forward.
“Then when do you plan on telling me about my little baby growing inside of you?” He said and I stiffened on his lap immediately, my eyes widened as I subconsciously tried standing up but his hand sneaks to my waist and held me down tightly, trapping me completely as I stared in shock.
Ho…..how did he find out?
Tip toe…
Tip toe…
Silently….. carefully walk down the stairs and nobody would see nor hear you.
Avia held her breath as she climbed down the stairs, gaging her steps as she slowly looks around, her heart was pounding crazily as fear surged through her but the need to escape was stronger.
She was wearing a bum short and a hoodie, covering her face as she slowly got to the door, her boots making no sounds as she held the door nob, she carefully opened the door and a smile creept on her face.
Finally she’s going to escape, how dumb of her brother and his stupid friend to think they can lock her up forever, she exhaled deeply as she flung the door open and dashed out but she barely made three steps as her body slammed into a bigger figure….she yelped out, the impact sending her backwards as she fell down, she sprawled widely, her chest heaving heavily as she winced at the pains.
“Going somewhere, princess?” Jasper’s crude voice echoed through her ear drums as she groans, still laying on the ground as she slowly looked up at him.
“Just let me go!, Let me go!!!” She yelled and he chuckled creepyly and grabbed her by the hair, pulling her up as she yells…her feet off the ground as he stared at her.
“You aren’t going anywhere until we’re done with our mission, now be a good girl and sit your Ă ss inside or else I’m going to do it for you” he rasped huskily and she clawed her long nails on his wrist, trying to free his grip on her hair as it felt like he wants to rip it off her scalp
“I’m going to scream my lungs out if you don’t let me go!!!” She threatened and he throws her on his shoulder in one go effortlessly and she felt her stomach tightening.
“Who’s stopping you?…….. you can start now” he said with zero emotions as she bites his shoulder, he doesn’t seem affected as she continues scratching her fingers on his back but he didn’t bother to stop….. taking her inside as he flings her on the floor of her room and she stood up immediately but the door got shut before she reaches him.
“FĂşck you!…… fĂşck you bastard!!!” She yelled as she angrily hits the door repeatedly.
Delilah stood still in front of the mirror, her eyes were red due to the crying, she looks almost lifeless as her eyes slowly averted from the mirror to the knife she was holding.
If anyone would say her obsession would be the death of her then she wouldn’t have believed it, she was just a normal girl, living her best life until she bumped into Roland three months ago and everything changed.
She thought it was just a tiny little crush but somehow it grew into something else, something intoxicating, something dangerous, something that destroyed herself control, turning her into someone else.
What’s the point of living if she can’t be with the one she loves, her past love life were futile, several heartbreaks and now she’s beginning to question her sanity.
She lifts the knife and smiles weakly like a physco, twrilling the sharp blade as her lips parted slightly, she touched the tip of the knife and pressed her finger on it, a slight pain exoded from it but she pressed further….. causing the sharp end to sink deep into her index finger pad…. blood pouring out from her finger as it drips on the table, somehow the pains she felt were soothing……it made her feel lighter and slightly better so she aimed further…. placing the sharp blade on her wrist as closed her eyes.
“Are you insane!!?” Alfred barged into her room and she jolted, causing the sharp blade to cress her soft skin…. it’s not so deep but she got injured as the knife fell from her hands.
“Why are you here!?……get out!!!” She blasted and he rushed towards her….. kicking the knife out of the way as he stood before her
“Don’t tell me it’s because of him” Alfred gritted and she smiles brightly…..he looks down and saw her hands covered in blĂłod due to the cut on her wrist and index finger and he cursed loudly.
“I love him…..but he doesn’t love me, he loves someone else, I can’t live without him…..I can’t, I just want to end it all….. please, just let me….end it all….. please” she said with tears streaming down her eyes but she’s smiling…..the smile held so much pains and Alfred stared at her with confusion lacing his brows.
“Let’s get you cleaned up first, you will be fine…. trust me” Alfred cooed and she nods mindlessly, sniffing as she allowed him lead her to the bed.
“Will he ever love me?.” She asked and he rubs his forehead frustratedly.
“I know the truth hurts but let’s face it, he doesn’t love you, just forget about him….. for my sake” Alfred said and more tears steamed down her face as she hiccups.
“I can’t…..I just can’t help it….. I’m losing my mind…. I’m going crazy” she said in a whisper and smiled creepyly…. immediately the smile vanished and she pouted sadly whilst watching Alfred treat her wounded wrist and index finger……he looks up at her and saw the hurt mixed with disappointment filling her face.
It’s like this Roland guy needs to be taught on how to treat girls properly.
“Don’t even think of harming him Alfred….. leave him alone” she jolted him out of his thoughts and he clenched his jaw muscles, she must be really into him for her to even figure out his mĂ»rda thoughts.
“If he makes you hurt yourself again, then I will put him in his place…. parmanently” Alfred threatened and she gulped down.
“It’s not his fault, don’t blame him” she defended and he looks at her with a shock expression and shakes his head.
“Just shut up and let me fix this” he muttered and she bite her lips, strategically coming on with a plan to finally get Mika out of the way for good…..a smile creept her lips.
Mrs Mantinda’s Mansion ‼️
“Have you seen my mom!?” Gina snapped angrily as she walked into the living room, her Mom literally ignored her calls and texts for weeks now and it’s no longer funny.
“She’s not in at the moment” a female figure said and Gina frowned upon her statement as she angrily walked towards her mom’s staircase….. climbing up and barged into her mother’s room.
“Mother, I really don’t like the way you’ve been….” Her words came to an abrupt halt as she saw no one inside, she cursed loudly, kicking the air as she paced angrily.
Her phone started ringing and it’s Mandy.
“I will be there in a few minutes, just hold on” Gina rasped as she hung up and exhaled deeply.
“I will just have to take a few cash then since she’s not here” she said with a smirk as she walked up to her Mom’s huge draw…… pulling the nob as nearly arranged dollars graced her eyes.
She dipped her hands and took three bunch and examined it….. pouting a little as she took another three and smiles satisfyingly, she arranged the cash and made to close the draw when something caught her eyes…… she squinted a little as she took the paper and read through it, a sweet smile plastering her face.
“Well, well, well……. would you look at that?” she smiles brightly, closing the draw and exiting the room before her mother comes back.
Mandy opened her car after ending the call with Gina, she frowned instantly, recalling the event that took place at Jayson’s house.
Although, she never came with the intention to hurt Jasmine but seeing her there in a position she really wants to be in badly provoked the anger in her and she consequently hit Jasmine on the head.
Will she survive it?……a part of her really wants her to die, besides….the so called securities Jayson planted there were useless and well…..they didn’t know she was a threat so they let her in without much questioning.
It’s already dark and she can’t wait any longer.
“Gina, for the hundredth time if you are seeing this….get your Ă ss over here…it’s dark and I really need to get the fĂşck outta this place!” She placed the voicemail and sighs, dipping her phone in her pocket as she leaned on the car.
Soon, movement could be heard behind her and she smiles, finally.
“I thought you didn’t want to come……” Her voice trails off as she backed up a little, squinting her eyes as a larger figure approached her
That isn’t Gina…..hĂłlyshit!
She immediately tried opening her door but was too late as she was pulled back roughly by the hair, a shrike escaped her lips as her back was slammed on the car, keeping her in place as she tried to figure out who the person is but the mask was preventing her.
“Let me go!….. fĂącking let me go!!!” She shrikes but a slap landed on her face as her right hand was placed on the side of the car, a horrific expression plastered on her face as she couldn’t fight or even move, her cheeks stinged badly due to the slap…. imprinting a huge bruise on her cheek.
“Who are you!?….. just let me go!” She voiced out in fear but her eyes widened as she saw something glistening in the dark…..it was shining brightly and very sharp as she struggles harder but he forcefully pressed her hands on the car and before she could say anything else……he sliced her fingers….. separating them from her hand as a loud scream echoed in the dark.
Three of her fingers are gone!!!!!
Chapter 59 & 60 : Learning and Evolving
“Araaaaaaagh!” Mandy’s shrill voice echoed in the pitch darkness as he let’s go of her, she fell down instantly, blood spewing from her hands as her first three fingers were gone and lost in the dark, her whole body was convulsing as she looked at her bleeding getting worst and the pains were unbearable, suddenly she got yanked by the hair as she trembled under the strangers touch, for some freaking reason, he feels and looks familiar, she’s most certain that she’s come across his aura before…..but where?
“Stay the hèll away from Jasmine or your throat will be next” he threatened as he lets go of her hair and she cowers in fear, her bleeding hand shaking furiously as steams of pains washed through her.
“W….who sent you?” She asked as her lips were shaking, he simply stood straight, gave her a scornful glare and disappeared into the darkness, it’s more of like he never came before, she hissed in pains as she struggles to stand up but failed miserably, crashing onto the ground with a thud as she bruised her cheeks and forehead….. this is more than torture.
“Mandy!….. fĂşck!, What happened to you!?” Gina’s girly scared voice brought Mandy on her butt, sitting down as she gashed her teeth together….. Gina immediately squatted in front of her….a gasp escaping her lips as she saw her hand.
“Who….who the fĂşck did this!?…..who!?” Gina asked in fright and Mandy glared at her.
“How am I supposed to know!?, I was attacked!” Mandy snapped and Gina bit her lips, trying to calm down a little.
“Attacked?” Gina asked again in confusion.
“Just get me the fĂşck out of here!” Mandy snapped angrily as Gina immediately lifted her up….. rounding the car as she placed her inside and she hurriedly got in from the driver’s seat….. Mandy could be heard bickering and groaning in pains as they took off.
✨Jayson POV✨
“Jay, ouch!…..it hurts” Jasmine whined as I carefully wrapped a new band-aid on her head, she tried pushing my hands off but I slapped it off playfully, earning a pout from her.
“Just relax okay, I need to make sure you and my baby are okay……I don’t want to risk anything” I voiced out as I finished wrapping it up, cleaning the edges of her forehead and cleaning her face, she giggled as I got to her lips, adding a little pressure as it turned red instantly
“You want to peel off my lips, huh? She asked childishly and I removed my hand, making sure everything is in order before facing her, her whole body on the bed, and I was squatting in front of her.
“Maybe…..I love it red” I voiced out and she raised an eyebrow.
“Just stop it….” She pouted as I kept everything besides the bed.
“Stop what?” I asked cluelessly.
“Being cute…..I can’t take it anymore!” She whined playfully and I grined…. maintaining my squatting position.
“But I can’t stop….. it’s natural” I said taking both of her beautiful hands and kissing it fevishly…. she giggled and pulled her hands away
“The last time you did that, I ended up with a baby and it’s killing me right now” she pointed out and i gasped dramatically…… clutching onto her hands again.
“It’s our baby and I will do it again in a heartbeat” i blurted out and hugged her…..she likes hugs… it’s like her second favorite thing in the world.
“Speaking of which, how did you find out that I’m pregnant?” She asked and I lifted my weight and scurried besides her…. she immediately let her head fall onto my shoulder and I cupped her with my large arms.
“Well, I might have seen the test kit while I was looking for fresh clothes, the one you wore that day was soaked with blood and I needed to change them” I confessed and she smiles….. raising her head to look at me.
“Did you see anything else?” She asked with a nervous smile and I shrugged my shoulders.
“Nope, was I supposed to see something else?” I asked and she smiles…. shaking her head.
“You weren’t…… thanks for saving me” she mumbles silently, she stretches and layed her head on my lap, facing me directly, despite her pregnancy she still looks breathtaking and hot…..but her cheeks are now buffy but she shouldn’t know that or else she’s going to freak out big time.
“No need to thank me and I’m sure that Mandy would be getting her due punishment just fine” I said and she furrowed her eyebrows.
“Don’t tell me you went after her?” She questioned and I clicked my tongue as I caress her hair.
“Fine, I won’t tell you”.
“Jayson!….”.
“Star, I told you….. she can’t hurt you and just get away with it, I had to do something” I voiced out as my mind flashed back two days ago, I could still clearly remember how scared she was, I actually planned on cutting her hands off completely but jotted down the idea and opted for her fingers instead…..all thanks to Noah’s expertise when it comes to tracking.
She had the guts to hit my Star, the only woman that matters to me….. well including my mom and my sheepish sister.
And I swear to God, I don’t regret shĂ®t, I will do it again and again and again if anyone dares hurt what’s mine…..I will fĂącking end that person!
“Jayson, you shouldn’t have gone after her” Jasmine pouted and I cocked my head sideways.
“And why if I may ask?” I questioned and she bites her lips……..my lips, probably searching for an answer.
“Because, I don’t know…..I just don’t want her troubles” she answered and I rolled my eyes.
“She was the one who started it…..so I helped her finish it, listen…..my sole aim is to protect you and now that I know that you are carrying our future baby girl, I won’t let any harm come close” I said with raw emotions and she frowned.
“Who told you it’s going to be a girl?” The sudden change in her tone almost made me laugh.
“Because it’s going to be a girl…. and don’t you argue with me Star” I remained calm and she rolled her eyes this time around.
“It’s going to be a cute boy, a replica of you…..my little prince charming” she said with dreamy eyes…. clutching her hands together in my face and I shifted her hands away so I could look at her properly.
“It’s going to girl” I cringed out.
“Nah ha, it’s going to be a boy” she pointed out while poking the tip of my nose.
“It’s going to be a girl” I said unfazed.
“Boy” she pointed out.
“Girl!” I argued.
“Boy!” She said with a smirk.
“Girl!” I voiced out again.
“Boy!” She half yelled playfully.
“Fine!,…. girl” I rasped huskily with both hands in the air.
“Yes!….boy…..arrrhg….. fĂşck it” she groan in defeat as she realized she just lost…. she covers her face with both hands and I chuckled inwardly…. removing her hands.
“It’s going to be whatever God gives us…… okay?” I said calmly and she smiles…….I placed a soft kiss on her band-aid forehead as she closed her eyes, right now she’s the only thing that matters to me…. fĂşck the rest!
M&K CLASSIC RESORT ✨✨✨
Mika walked out of the kitchen after yelling at Roland playfully, ever since Delilah stormed out angrily some days ago, things have been a quite peaceful….. it’s not like Mika has anything going on in her little head for Roland but……. loving him is completely out of the question
So here’s the great surprise as Delilah walked in, her eyes met with Mika’s immediately and an akward silence lingers, Delilah sucked in her breath as she dragged her feet towards her.
“I thought you quit?” Mika asked as she looks at Delilah, her eyes were slightly swollen and she looks pale.
“I just……I just want us to put everything behind us and move on with our lives, I honestly shouldn’t have behaved like an animal, I’m sorry” Delilah blurted out and Mika’s jaw almost dropped, she looks around to see if there’s anyone else around them but no, it’s just the two of them
“You realize that you are talking to me right?” Mika asked with shock.
“Roland doesn’t love me and I’m certain he loves you and I shouldn’t hate you for that…… if there’s anyone that I should be hating on….then it’s him, he broke my heart and not you, you don’t deserve to die for his mistake” Delilah muttered and Mika slowly walked across the counter and stopped right in front of her.
She looks at Delilah and Delilah didn’t blink one minute, sharing the intense gaze as Mika let’s out a sigh.
“I can’t believe this, so you are willing to let go of everything?” Mika asked with curiousity and Delilah takes Mika’s hand, Mika tried untangling them but Delilah wouldn’t budge.
“I’m serious, look, I know it’s going to be really hard but I hope we can be friends, Roland is just a boy, he’s not worth the hassle…… don’t you think?” Delilah asked tactically and Mika nods.
“Yeah, you are right….. he’s not worth it…” Mika brewed out as her mind flashed back to when Roland balantly said he doesn’t feel anything for the both of them.
“You see, I’m willing to make this work….. that’s if you are down for it….are you?” Delilah asked in her most calming voice and Mika looks at her.
“How am I sure if all this is a facĂ de?, How am I sure that you aren’t just pretending?” Mika asked and Delilah beamed.
“I’m willing to report myself to the police for attempted mĂ»rda, I’m willing to turn myself in……” Delilah trailed.
“You don’t have to do that!” Mika snapped immediately.
“I just can’t live with the guilt of trying to kĂ®ll someone for a person who doesn’t even care about me, I don’t want you to hold grudges against me anymore, I’m willing to repent and turn myself in, at least that should heal the pains” Delilah whimpers as Mika pulled her in for a warm hug, Delilah squeezed herself into the hug with tears pouring down like a water fountain.
“It’s okay, I believe you…. just don’t do anything stupid” Mika pleaded and Delilah nods…..the hug getting tighter.
“Thanks” Delilah mumbles as Mika cleaned up her tears.
“It’s okay, everything will be alright….I got you” Mika cooed as Delilah hugs her again…… gluing herself to Mika.
“Eat…..” Laurence ordered and Avia glared at him, scotting away from him as she looks away.
“Don’t make me force you…… now eat” Laurence commanded again and Avia ignored him completely.
“I’m not hungry” she mutters and he rubs his forehead.
“How can you say you are not hungry when you haven’t eaten in days?…… you are not going to die in my hands young lady” Laurence warned and she scoffed.
“You already killed Dad, I might as well join him” she voiced out and he angrily pulled her in his grip, she bites his hand holding her neck……. sinking her teeth into his flesh as she taste his dirty blood, he immediately let’s go of her….. clutching his hand that now has her teeth marks imprinted on it.
“Damn you!……. you you are definitely going to starve to dèath!” He threatened and she smriks….. spitting his blood out of her mouth
“Once I manage to get out of here, I’m going straight to the police, and Jasmine will know everything, I will tell her everything!” She cooed and Laurence smriks…… wiping his hand with his shirt.
“You are never going to escape, you will remain here till I’m done, and what makes you think Jasmine would believe you?” he and she walks closer to him.
“Because I will make her believe……” Immediately her eyes darted to the open door and she smiles…. tucking her hands behind her, Jasper was clearly standing at the other side of the door and it’d be foolish of her to keep talking so she dashed into the bathroom and shut the door
“There’s no way out of here!, Stop dreaming!” Laurence bangs the door and stormed out angrily.
Meanwhile Avia looks at her reflection and slowly smirks, she smiles as she pulled out the keys she snubbly took while trying to escape the other day, Jasper didn’t notice when she pulled the keys from his back pocket.
“He’s not so smart after all” she smiles brightly to herself, tucking the keys back and hatching her next heist.
🍒Jasmine’s POV🍒
Okay, I did feel a bit bad for Mandy after I found out what Jayson actually did to her, well Noah told me how everything happened since Jayson was being a baby about it and wouldn’t let me know, I’m pretty sure Mandy doesn’t even know who her attacker is because according to Noah….. Jayson was wearing a mask, I never knew Jayson had a thing for revenge, I’ve never seen him as a violent person, I never thought he could dice someone’s fingers with a knife…..turns out I bring out the best and consequently the worst in him.
This was all part of the plan, encroaching my presence in his life till I become his weakness, making him fall helplessly in love with him so when I leave he’ll be completely broken, but what if I also get broken?
More reasons why I shouldn’t be emotionally attached to him, more reasons why I shouldn’t let my guards down…..more reasons why I should never consider falling in love with him, yes….he was my childhood crush but things changed and I don’t think I love him like I used to…..or do I?
But right now I’m trying to enjoy the best of the little time I have left with him, savoring every single moment with my whole heart, enjoying his company and love and that’s why I’m blindfolded and he’s leading me to only God knows.
“Aren’t we there yet?” I mumbled as I held his hand for support, he said he had a surprise for me…..I don’t even know what it is and I’m following him.
“Just a little more steps….” He trails as I clutched onto him tighter, we weren’t at home and I don’t even know what he’s got planned
“A little more?” I voiced out and we stopped moving, I immediately tried to use my instincts to figure out where we are but the blindfold got ripped off and I opened my eyes, a gasp escaped my lips as I stared around.
It’s a giant roof top, a firm setting up of a date…. the right amount of candles….. blazing beautifully as the whole space was decorated with nice flowers and a soft music was playing at the background…… everything about this place is amazing, beautiful and breathtaking.
“Jayson?” Was the only thing I could say as he led me to the table, thank God I was dressing nice… even though he grumbled about my outfit and made me change it a couple of times before agreeing with a floral dress….. with glittering dots and a right share of slit on the side…… Jayson can be a really tough nut to crack sometimes.
“Happy birthday in advance to you my lovely wife……few days to go and I decided to surprise you with the most elequent dinner…..” He said in an accent I couldn’t make out clearly but I laughed anyways because it’s kinda of funny.
“I’m really surprised, this place is amazing” I said, goshing over the entire space before looking back at him……he always looks ravishing in whatever he puts on.
“I know…. but you have to focus on the most mind blowing and captivating subject here” he said with a smirk and I raised my left eye brow
“And what’s that if I may ask?” I questioned and he stretched his hand forward taking my hands.
“Me of course…….” He said in his weird funny accent and pecked my hands…..my cheeks heated up instantly as I looked at the affection he showered on them.
“I know you are just doing all of this to take my mind off the pressing issues concerning my uncle…… and it’s working….” I trail and a frown plastered on his face instantly.
“I don’t want to hear anything concerning any negativity…… tonight is meant for the both of us and the only thing that we should be discussing should be about us” he said and I released a chuckle.
“As you can see…. these are all your favorite foods…. even though I had to force Noah to get them but hey, the most important thing is that they’re here right?” He voiced out and I couldn’t help but laugh….. he’s really funny tonight…..well he’s always funny…..my eyes darted to his neck and the tatts stood out elegantly…..I could clearly see my name from where I’m seated…….. why do I suddenly feel so special?…….I shouldn’t have such feelings.
“That’s the most important thing…..” I said, my eyes roaming over the table and I picked up the chops….. filling my mouth in one go as he watched me keenly.
“I’m going to spoil you rotten because you deserve it birthday girl……. enjoy” he said….the fact that he’s doing all of these without any sÂŁxual intrusion makes me even fall harder for him, he’s so calm and collected……opps I didn’t mean to say fall harder…..I meant “attracted harder””
The cool music playing made me relaxed and a for a few moment I actually forgot who I truly am to this man but rather I enjoyed myself to the fullest….. happiness first baby……. happiness first.
Breaking sounds and angry strides could be heard in Mandy’s room as her hand was bandaged…… she cursed loudly…… allowing the tears weighing on her face pour down like a river.
Gina gasped as she entered the room and met everything scartterd…..the room is s mess as she slowly walked up to Mandy who was now sitting down on the couch besides her bed.
“You really need to calm down…..” Gina said softly as she sat besides Mandy and pulled her head closer to her chest…. hugging her while Mandy sniffled.
“I look like a freaking weakling right…..I should probably stop crying” Mandy said with tears coated voice as she stared at her hand…..her left hand to be precise….. three fingers are gone as she was left with two…..her pinky finger and thumb…..the three middle fingers are gone!
“It’s okay to cry but don’t destroy your room, I can’t keep cleaning up after your rage speers, it’s exhausting” Gina frowned and Mandy nods
“You have any idea on who attacked me yet?…… it’s been days” Mandy retorted and Gina pinched the bridge of her nose in disapproval
“No I don’t, but I do have something else that’s going to make everything better……..” Gina said with a smirk and Mandy faced her properly
“Seriously?” Mandy cooed as Gina pulled her close and whispered something into her ears, Mandy’s eyes lit up instantly as she stared at Gina in disbelief…..her eyes radiating vengeance.
” she’s so going to regret this” Gina grins with a mischievous smile as Mandy nods…… loving the fact that Gina came up with a perfect plan
“Jasmine won’t see it coming” Mandy said as she stared down at her left hand with rush of adrenaline running through her entire body
Chapter 61 : Facing the Future
✨Jayson’s POV✨
Sitting down in my office as I scan through the suvellance cameras, trying to track down Jasper’s location…… since he once worked in the same resort as Jasmine, I figured I could use that as homeboards to actually get to where he lives but turns out he doesn’t live there anymore.
“FĂşck” I muttered, all directions pointed to one room apartment right at the end of the city hall, the room is currently empty and Jasper is no where to found, after our little moment at the bar, he hasn’t been seen nor heard, I wonder where he’s hiding.
“Dude, we got big problems” Noah’s voice interupts me as I looked up at him, he’s face looks fushed…. like he’s barely had a good sleep
“Talk to me….” I mumbled as he sat down across from my seat….. flipping his phone and adjusting his glasses, he only uses his “special glasses” when he’s trying to crack a case.
“Your target…..the bald man, he’s dead” he announced and my head snapped towards him, obviously I wasn’t expecting that, the shock on my face was evident.
“Dead?, who killed him?” I asked in agitation, I wanted to be the one to end his life, he messed with my Star and he deserves to dĂ®e….but by me
“He was last seen two months ago, in the middle of the night bundled by some guys…. after that nobody knows what happened and he was declared dead a few weeks ago….. since no evidence pointed to anything….the cops just assumed he was kidnapped and killed” he narrated and I clenched my fists….. that’s suspicious, someone else is definitely up to no good…..but who?
“Any clues on the last person he was with?” I asked and he tapped his screen before looking at me….. pointing a picture of a young man, about Jasper’s age….he looks oddly familiar…. besides the guy was another frame picture of a young girl, exactly Jasmine’s age and she has some creppy resemblance to Jasmine, in face….both the boy and the girl resembled Jasmine in a funny way.
“That’s his children…. Laurence and Avia….. Jasmine’s cousins” Noah pointed out and I nod….no wonder they look alike.
“Where are they?, I need to find them…. I’m sure they must have a clue on what happened to their father….. don’t you think?” I asked…. flickering my fingers with little patience
“That’s the problem, they’re also missing….no clue on where they are, but Laurence was the last person to be with his father before he disappeared…. and get this?….. after their Dad was announced dead….. that’s exactly when they also got missing…. Avia suddenly stopped working, and Jasper also stopped working the same time” he pointed out again and I stroked my chin thoughtfully.
“That means they are behind Bob’s dèath?…… it’s pretty obvious, Laurence kidnapped his father and killed him….oh my, they’re all teaming up against me and Jasmine” I figured out as my head bang in realization.
“Laurence is after Jasmine’s parents properties, I’m pretty sure that’s why he eliminated his father…..”.
“So he can everything for himself!…” I finished Noah’s statement with my fist hitting the table hard, everything is becoming clearer…..I can see it now….. Jasmine only survived that accident because Laurence didn’t want her dead yet, he needed her to sign her parents properties before fleeing off, and Jasper is after me, danger is looming everywhere, Jasmine isn’t safe.
“I’m currently trying to track them down but it’s not working, I’m sure they’re still in this city, we gotta act fast because they are slowly getting an edge over us and any slightest mistake would become their biggest opportunity to strike, this is the time Jasmine needs you the most, she mustn’t leave your sight….not even for a second” Noah’s arched his right eye brow as he dished out his warning and I fall on the swivel chair….. glaring at my monitor with different videos of Jasper for the past two months before he disappeared again.
Judging from the videos, he doesn’t go anywhere else except the restaurant and back at his lone apartment, and that’s when it hits me that the only reason he even worked at the resort was so he could get closer to Jasmine, he found her before me and thank God I was quick enough to drag her out of there.
“You look damn tired, you should take a day off to cool off your throbbing head..” I pinpointed casually and he lifts his eyes on me.
“It’s throbbing alright, but I just really need to track those bastards down, they seem really good in hiding their location but I will break them in no time” he said and I chuckled…. trying to ease my mind of the tension, Jasmine doesn’t have to know about this, I don’t want her stressing in her current condition, I don’t want her stressing at all.
“Why are you suddenly interested in protecting Jasmine, I thought you didn’t like her?” I teased and he pinched the bridge of his nose…. adjusting his glasses.
“But you love her, that’s all that matters and I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t mind kicking my Ă ss if I tried to talk you out of being with her” he smriks.
“You got that right…..” I trail in a chuckle…..my mind drifting off to her in an instance.
“PĂ»ssy whipped……I never thought there would be a day when you would be committed to one woman…. I’m still in shock” he cheered and I played with my tongue inside my mouth.
“She’s not just any woman Noah, she’s my woman, my Jasmine……. nothing comes close to her” I voiced out and his eyes widened before releasing a smirk….followed by a mild laughter.
“Indeed…. nothing comes close” he repeated and I gulped down….. imagining my life without her, it’s definitely going to be a whole load shĂ®t of mess without her in my life,i would actually lose it for real, probably kĂ®ll myself or worse, kĂ®ll anyone who dares to hurt her, no when I’m still breathing, that would be the fĂącking end game .
Mrs Mantinda’s Mansion ‼️
Mrs Mantinda stared at her phone, re-reading the weird text she just received from Jasper with an unknown number, she glanced over and saw Gina walking towards her and she quickly dashed out of the message…. turning off her phone.
“Mother!….. you are here!” Gina shrilled as she hugs Mrs Mantinda dearly before pulling away.
“Where else would I be, this is my late husband’s house and you know I don’t like anyone waltzing in here however they please” Mrs Mantinda said sterning and Gina frowned.
“Well he’s my father too, and besides…. he’s no more, why are you so over protective of this Mansion?” Gina asked as a smack landed on her head and she scotted away from Mrs Mantinda with a yelp.
“This Mansion holds the memories of our first time together….. you wouldn’t understand and what are you doing here by the way?” Mrs Mantinda intentionally changed the subject.
” Wow, I haven’t seen you for days and that’s all you can ask…. I’m starting to feel like you don’t care about me anymore….. it’s all just about Jayson and his stupid wife and work!” Gina barked at angrily.
“What nonsense are you talking about!?, You think I wouldn’t find out about the money you stole from me days ago?” Mrs Mantinda switched the topic smartly again and Gina calmed a little.
“I didn’t steal it if it’s yours….. you are my mom” Gina pointed out.
“And you are a little theif!…” Mrs Mantinda retored and Gina sighs.
“Okay fine… I’m sorry, I just really needed the money for something and I know you wouldn’t give me even though I asked” Gina said and Mrs Mantinda rubbed her forehead.
“You always need money for something important, I just can’t with you right now….” Mrs Mantinda said frustratedly and her phone chimed in a message…. she knows who it’s from and deliberately ignored it.
“I heard it’s your daughter In-law’s birthday next week, and I’m pretty sure y’all getting ready to splash a huge party right?” Gina asked with a smirk and Mrs Mantinda rolled her eyes.
“It’s none of your business, besides you don’t like the girl so butt off” Mrs Mantinda said sterning and Gina’s jaw hardened.
“I bet that’s why Jasper left…. because he couldn’t watch you lavish all your attention on Jayson…. and I’m starting to feel it too” Gina frowned suddenly and Mrs Mantinda stared at her with shock.
“First off, I love y’all equally, I never denied any of you my attention….I just don’t know what came over Jasper that made him…..”
“Tried to kĂ®ll y’all?….” Gina finished her statement and Mrs Mantinda sighs.
“I really don’t want to talk about this right now” Mrs Mantinda huffed and Gina stood up in anger…. clenching onto her expensive bag.
“Well….. maybe I do understand why Jasper felt that way…. because it’s happening to me, you never allowed me sleep a day in this Mansion and I found out that Jayson spent three days in here….. why do you care for Jayson so much?, He’s also like one of us right?, what’s so special about him that makes you treat us like some piece of shĂ®t!!” Gina rasped out angrily.
“Enough, Gina!!!!!” Mrs Mantinda half yelled.
“It’s not enough!….. I’m never going to keep quiet when everything is so damn obvious!……I promise that I’m going to find Jasper and when I do… I’m going to support him, because he deserves it and you are just a really terrible mother!” Gina pointed out and a slap tears across her face……the sound echoing endlessly as she raised her head and saw her mother’s ragged breathing.
“You don’t get to talk to me like that you ungrateful swine…” Mrs Mantinda mutters almost inaudibly and Gina laughed out loud, making Mrs Mantinda flinched.
“I really wished you died in that accident” Gina spat out and a gasp escaped Mrs Mantinda as she watched Gina exit the Mansion
Mrs Mantinda blinked repeatedly as tears rolls down her eyes…..her little Gina?, This is the first time Gina is talking back at her and even wishing her dead…….is she really a terrible Mother?
Chapter 62 & 63 : Facing the Future
M&K CLASSIC RESORT ✨✨✨✨✨
“Time out!!!!!” Mika yelled as Delilah fliped the sign….. they’re officially closed for the day .
“God!, I’m so fĂącking tired…” Delilah mumbles as she strode towards Mika, sitting across the counter as Mika was sipping from soda…. she actually went over to Jasmine’s house in the morning and took five of them.
“You are not as tired as I am, I feel like I’m going to break in half” Mika retorted as Delilah pouted her lips.
“Can I have a soda?” Delilah asked and Mika gave her one immediately.
“Thanks” Delilah acknowledged, opening the can as she drinks from it ” things became really difficult ever since Jasper and Avia stopped coming, it’s been close to two weeks now and no single trace of them, I wonder if they’re safe” Delilah pointed out worriedly.
“I’m sure they’re….who cares?” Mika shrugged her shoulders and Delilah nods as Roland stepped out of the kitchen.
“You girls ready to go home?, I’m beat….” Roland asked as Delilah’s eyes trails towards his direction.
“Yeah, we could take a bus together… right Delilah?” Mika asked and no answer came, Delilah was still staring at Roland subconsciously as a tap landed on her arm, she jolted and faced Mika.
“I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention” Delilah mumbles as she looks at Roland who seems to be avoiding her .
“I was asking if you are going to take a bus with us?” Mika asked again and Delilah scratches her eyes.
“Nah, I will sort myself out, you guys can run along” Delilah mumbles and Mika nod.
Roland was already standing in front of the exit as Mika walked up to him.
“We could stop by at my place” Roland offered as they started leaving and Delilah’s ears twitched.
“That would be great, I will finally get the chance to finish those macarons you’ve been hiding from me” Mika pointed out and they started laughing.
“I would also love to come…..I love macarons” Delilah called out as she trails behind them.
“I thought you said you were going to sort yourself out?” Roland asked with a strained voice, he was obviously displeased about her coming with them.
“It’s fine if you don’t want me to come, good bye” Delilah said with a sad pout as she turned around but Mika was quick enough to stop her
“Roland, don’t be an Ă sshole, you idiot…….if she wants to come then it’s okay” Mika assured and Delilah’s eyes lit up.
“Seriously?” Delilah asked.
“Whatever…. I’m out” Roland scoffed before walking away….. Mika saw the sadness in Delilah’s eyes and scoops her in her arms as they walked behind Roland.
“He’s going to come around, don’t be sad….. he’s still a little bit mad about what happened” Mika said and Delilah looks at her.
“I fĂşcked up…..I really shouldn’t have accused him of something he knows nothing about, you guys don’t even like each other….I feel like a fool” Delilah voiced out and Mika gulped down as she looks away.
“Let’s catch up with him, he’s walking pretty fast” Mika said, diving the topic as they followed Roland behind.
Unknown location 🚫👻
“They’re closing in on us” Laurence said with a worried look as Jasper sprawled on the couch.
“They will never find us, why are you worrying you hear about it” Jasper asked slightly annoyed.
“I don’t know….. I’m just scared okay?, I’ve come this far and I can’t let anything go wrong” Laurence said as he rubs his face repeatedly.
“Dude, we are literally in the middle of nowhere, no wifi…..no nothing, just a dark thick bush with zero electricity, how on earth will they find this place…. we are surrounded by water, it’s impossible” Jasper said confidently as Laurence exhaled deeply.
“Yeah, you are right….. it’s impossible, I will just chillaxe” Laurence said as he rest his whole weight on the couch breathing out with ease.
Meanwhile, Avia was evesdroping on their conversation, a smirk crept up her pretty face as she climbed down the stairs…… it’s actually wooden.
Jasper was the first person to notice her as she flops on the couch besides Laurence….
“Ouuuu, look who’s downstairs to play” Jasper teased and she glared at him.
“I really thought you were going to be a good fĂşck but this stupid attitude of yours is s turn off for me” Avia blurted out as Laurence turned to her sharply.
“Don’t tell me you had thoughts of sleeping with him?” Laurence asked as he points towards Jasper who was busy smriking his life away
“I was…..but not anymore, no after this” Avia taunted and Laurence felt like biting her ears off…..his eyes blaring as he stared at the both of them.
“I don’t blame her though, I mean…. just look at me, I’m worth all her wèt thoughts” Jasper voiced out and Laurence hits him with a cushion and a small smile escaped him.
“Shut the fĂşck up……I can’t believe it, I’m going to be keeping an extra eye on you two and get that nasty thoughts about my sister off your fĂşcked up head, Jasper” Laurence rasped as Avia saw how worked up he looks, she actually loves messing with him.
“I’m hungry” Avia blurted.
“I thought your freedom was more important than food?” Jasper throws the question.
“What’s the point?, I’m never going to escape so I might as well just eat” Avia snorted and Laurence narrows her a stink eye.
“The kitchen is that way…” Laurence points and Avia simply walked towards it.
“I don’t trust her” Jasper announced immediately she was out of sight.
“Me too, she’s been too nice and comfortable, I bet it’s part of her next escape plan, my sister can be really cunning sometimes” Laurence said as he watched her find something to eat, while humming and moving to an imaginative music in her head.
“She’s not going anywhere, not on my watch” Jasper voiced out with a smirk.
🍒Jasmine’s POV🍒
I am a Corey, and Corey’s never give up, even in the face of death, my Mom and Dad made sure I made it out alive….. and I will forever be greatful for that.
I’m not just sitting down and doing nothing, no I’m not, and I also didn’t forget my main purpose for being here in the first place, I’m not just sitting down and picking up dirty fights, my time in this Mansion is ticking fast and I’m currently in Jayson’s study room flipping through files that Noah has managed to gather from my uncle’s house, apparently he’s dead….. and I know who killed him, Laurence.
I’ve always known Laurence to be a deceitful human being, he has always had eyes on my parents wealth, just like his useless father……. although I never thought he would go as far as killing his Dad and eloping with his sister, but that’s not my problem but the fact that the original ownership documents are with him.
“You really should rest, I thought Jayson gave you a day off?” My gaze narrow at Noah who seems so engrossed in what he was looking at…..I peaked in and saw him repeatedly watching the video of the night uncle Bob was kidnapped by Laurence.
“I just can’t help but feel agitated, we are talking about killers here, people who wouldn’t mind gunning you down at the slightest opportunity, they’re dangerous” Noah said with a worried tone and I sighed, this is the first time he’s talking to me without rolling his eyes or ingnoring me completely…..we never had the best relationship… friend wise, but for the past days now….. he’s been kinda friendly and akwardly nice.
“I know, Jasper killed my parents, and I can’t wait to repay the favor” I said determinedly as I tossed the files away, they weren’t important right now, my parents firm is currently on hold since uncle’s Bob’s dèath was announced, I just can’t go as the true owner without any concrete proof…… and that’s where the lawyer aspects comes in.
“That must have been really difficult for you” he said as he paused the video and yawned tiredly.
“Tell me about it, I lost my memories in the process, my life has been a mess, only to recover everything and I almost hated Jayson” I said actually feeling hurt about the way I reacted.
“I understand, anyone in your shoes would have done the same thing….. just stay strong and watch me bring down those fools to your feet” he said and I smiled brightly…..he yawns again and made to take the coffee besides him but I quickly took it.
“You need to rest Noah, come on…. time up” I said and he frowned playfully.
“I don’t mind sleeping in here…….I just need to be extra focus since Jasper is busy threatening everyone…..” Noah said and I furrowed my eyebrows.
“Funny how he hasn’t approached me yet…” I said clenching onto the cup as I handed it over to him.
“He wouldn’t dare, Jayson would kill him” Noah chuckled.
“He’s not scared of Jayson” I pinpointed and Noah simply shrugged his shoulders as he signaled for me to come closer.
I bend over a little as we watched the video together, they’re currently divided into three places, the first space is a clear video of Laurence walking behind the guys who bundled his father, the second video is of Avia….. she’s currently standing on her porch but suddenly received a text and walked out, a black car up front and she got dragged into it unawares, and the last video is of Jasper….. walking out of the bar and entering his bike….a black bike to be precise as he drove off….no plate number on the bike though….. he’s way too smart.
“It looks like Avia got kidnapped as well” I blurted out and Noah nods.
“We can never be too sure, besides, she loathes you so we still have to keep an eye on her” he said and I bite my lip as he continues shoving through different videos clips.
“And Mandy?” I asked out of the blue and he paused for a minute.
“Jayson already trimmed her fingers, she should be nursing her injury instead of thinking about hurting you” he said and I exhaled……I really love the fact that Jayson made her pay.
I touched my head and winced a little…..it still hurts like shĂ®t and Jayson isn’t back yet.
“When will Jayson be back?” I asked Noah as I fished out my phone.
“The last time I checked, he’s your baby daddy so call him” Noah teased and I rolled my eyes playfully.
“PĂ»nk…..” I muttered at Noah as I texted Jayson immediately.
Jasmine: where the hell are you?, my head hurts and I need to change the band-aid.
I waited for a few minutes and his reply came instantly.
Jayson: I’m on my way and just say you miss me instead of looking for an excuse to text me…..wink emoji
A smile creept on my face as I texted back.
Jasmine: don’t be a dĂ®ckhead and get home soon, you can also add my favorite chocolates while you are at it.
Jayson: craving much?
Jasmine: just shut up and do it laughing emoji
I tucked my phone away and focused on Noah.
“Once we get our hands on Laurence, we will send the lawyer over, I just hope I get him soon” Noah informed me and I nod.
“Good, the earlier the better” I muttered as I stood up and made to leave.
My head really hurts and I just need some ice……I don’t know if that’s a good idea but my head won’t stop throbbing painfully, I wish Jayson was here…..he would have made the pains go away.
I held the door nob as my phone started ringing.
“Jayson….. don’t you dare make excuses about not buying my chocolates” I muttered as I fished out my phone from my sweatpants pocket, a frown plastered on my face as I saw an unknown number.
“Who the fĂşck is this?” I muttered as I picked up….. awaiting the caller to say something but instead o got a surprise holler.
“Sister in-law……how have you been?, missed me much?” His cold, ugly, unapologetic voice echoed through my ears as my eyes widened in shock and anger….. Noah immediately noticed my numbness on the door and stood up instantly walking towards me.
If there’s another word for anger and pain…..then that’s exactly what I’m feeling right now, I clenched onto my phone as Noah stood besides me.
“Say something sister in-law……or should I say phony sister in-law??” He said again and my eyes turned red……not just with anger but with shock and fear…..no, no way.
“Jasper?….. you sly bastard!” I bursted out angrily as my whole body vibrated….. Noah immediately dragged me towards his system as I stride behind him.
Chapter 64 : Love Rekindled
🌹Jasmine’s POV🌹
I trail behind Noah as he plunge his phone closer to mine….his phone beeping silently as he urged me to calm down a little and not let my anger take this little opportunity away from us….. from me.
“Wow, I thought you would be surprised, but all I hear is a vicious lioness ready to bounce on me” he coaked mockingly and I sucked in my anger, Noah rubbed my shoulders soothingly as he urged me to say something.
“Try to keep the conversation for up to a minute or two” he whispered and I shut my eyes, opening them slowly…..am a born actress, I can do this.
“The fĂşck do you want bastard?, You still had the guts to come for me?, after everything you did?” I voiced out angrily and Noah gave me a thumps up and I somehow felt….. relieved.
“Oh no, darling, I should be the one mad because if you hadn’t been all lovey dovey with my stupid brother, then I would have gotten what I wanted, so how’s that my fault, love?” He belowed and for the first time in my life I wished he was close to me, close enough to receive a dying punch.
“Don’t call me that!” I spat out spitefully.
“Aren’t you my love, love?…..or are you going to deny it?” I could clearly feel the stupid smrik plastered on his face, I fisted my free hand as Noah continue to sooth my shoulders…….his phone still glued to mine.
“I was never your love…..and I will never be your love!” I voiced out in anger.
“I guess that applies to my brother?” He taunted and I gulped down emptiness.
“FĂşck off my life, don’t you bring your brother into this” I muttered…… obviously lost for words.
“You know that I know your dirty little secret, I would have love to spill it but I know by now there’s a dumb looking nerd…. guled to your phone and probably recording our conversation, wouldn’t it be a shame if Jayson finds out about this?, Huh…. love?” And I froze…. literally and figuratively as my mouth hangs open, I stare in space, unable to breath as all my defense mechanism were ripped off brutally……….he knows?, he knows about the fĂącking contact?
I jolted away from Noah….. stepping backwards as he looks at me with a confused expression, his phone dangling in the air as fear grips it’s fangs around my throat, knicking me, choking me, strangling me, making me weak as tears gushed down my eyes, my head hurting more than usual, and I think I might pass out from anxiety soon.
“That’s it my good girl, step away from the nerd, and the truth…..hide from your pains, don’t you dare try to be brave…… you know I got you right where I want you….my tool” he rasped huskily and I shuddered….. more tears streaming down.
“What do you want from me?” I whimpered, and damn me….I actually whimpered in fear, I shouldn’t be scared, I shouldn’t let him see that he’s getting to be badly……I have to be fĂącking strong but…. he’s right, he’s got me…..
“You are going to tell Jayson, and your little hot nerd friend to stop bothering me, tell them to stop tracking me, damn!, They’ve got my apartment on house arrest, I can’t move freely and I can’t breathe, the police and some fĂącking phychos spies are on my case……tell them to fĂącking drop it” the last sentence hits my guts and I stare at Noah….. he’s currently looking at me.
“You are threatening me?” I voiced out and I heard a familiar voice laugh at the background….. and a girle cheer….. fĂşck it, I knew those pĂşnks were together, but why would Avia be laughing if she was kidnapped by Laurence?
“Eh, I could do both…..or would it be nice if I tell Jayson instead?……. imagine his surprise when he finds out that you are fake…. and a gold digger!”
“FĂşck you pĂ»nk!” I snearled angrily as I tapped my feet, I feel my head banging virgoursly in pains.
“You could!, too bad I’m not interested, so do we have a deal, love?” He called out and I bailed my fists.
“Deal” I deadpan as Noah eyes widened, I know for sure he didn’t hear his side of our conversation but for the fact that I’m sealing a deal with this foreign bastard is enough to get him shocked.
“That’s my good girl…… sister in-law” he mocked and the line went dead instantly, I run my hands across my face as my heart started aching
“We have to double our search” I retored immediately and Noah nods.
That fĂącking bastard thinks he can threaten me, he’s such a low life loser, nobody scares me, nobody moves me, I know what I want and I will get it…..I will get him and I will make him fĂącking pay for everything he has done to me…..I trust Jayson, even though the truth hurts, I will have to tell him myself, but not now……I need to act smart if I want this to work in my favor.
“I couldn’t get hold of his location because you suddenly moved away from me, but from the little I have, they seem to be in what looks like….a deserted area, close to East of the city” he pointed out and I nod.
“Good, I can’t wait to pay him a visit” I said with anger radiating my eyes.
“Jas, even though we do find him, we can’t let you tag along with us, it’s dangerous and you are a…..”.
“A woman!?…..” I barked angrily completing his statement ” a fĂącking weakling?, just because I have a pĂ»ssy doesn’t make me weak, Jasper hurt me!, he killed my parents and I’m not going to sit back and watch him ruin my new found life with Jayson, find him…..” I tossed my phone at him and he grabbed it, I see the understanding in his eyes as he looks at me.
“I swiped the tracker down while talking to him and I also recorded everything, I hope it helps” I said and he walks up to me, pulling me into a warm hug as I fought the tears threatening to pour down.
“This is your fight….. and I’m more than happy to help you” he said and I squeezed him tightly.
“Thanks” I pulled away and the door opened, revealing my man, my Jayson.
He stopped walking immediately he saw my swollen face, I saw the worried look flushed on his face as he slowly walked towards me.
“What happened?” He asked….. dropping the expensive bag on the ground as he wraps me in his warmth.
“Jasper called” Noah replied sensing my uneasiness and I feel Jayson’s grip on me tightened.
“That slimy sod!…..did he threatened Jasmine?…..did he?” He growled and I quickly raised my hands to his face, cupping him in my tiny grip as he looks down at me.
“He can’t hurt me Jay, not when I’m still with you, in your arms, surrounded by your love….he can’t do shĂ®t, trust me” I whispered and his eyes softened…..
“He threatened you…..” He furthered.
“And I will kĂ®ll him…. for everything he has done” I voiced out and he looks away, I sigh….. bringing his face back to mine.
“I can’t bare the thought of losing you Jasmine, I just can’t”.
“The don’t….. don’t lose me, because I also don’t want to lose you, of course I hate you guts but I won’t let anything come between us and…..” I couldn’t get the remaining words out of my mouth when he swallows them whole, knocking my breath off my lungs as his lips fill mine perfectly, I sink deep into the moment, feeling every inch of him as he kissed me senseless….. wrapping my hands on his shoulders as he drags me into his warmth…..
We don’t need words right now, we need touch and feelings, words can’t describe just how much we want each other, love each other and support each other, he’s ready to kill for my sake, he’s ready to fight by my side, he’s ever ready to be mine, so why push him away?…..I think I’m falling in love all over again and this time around, it feels surreal…..his tongue darts over my teeth walls as explores deeper, making me moan into his mouth and a familiar cough makes us pull away…..my cheeks flushed as I turned my head a little to see Noah standing behind us, heaven knows I totally forgot about him standing there.
“I feel like a freaking third wheel” Noah joaked as he sits in front of his system with my phone and his on the table
“Sorry….not sorry bro” Jayson teased as he wraps his hands around me protectively, I can never get used to this feeling, it feels real with every passing second.
“DĂ®ck” Noah frowned playfully “now, I just have to concentrate on tracking the number and I’m sure we’ll get it before the day runs out…..or maybe it will take some days since it’s an unknown number” he said looking serious again.
“You really should take a day off, no working for you tomorrow” Jayson said curtly as he pulled me out of the room.
“Anything you say, boss” Noah joked and we are out the door.
The pains on my head became ragged as Jayson changed my band-aid carefully, he’s now cladded in a simple t-shirt and baggy jean shorts…….his shiny fore legs exposed as he squat in front of me, wrapping my head up.
“Feeling better?” He asked as he rounded up and scotted besides me.
“My throbbing head?, Yes…..but my messed up mind?, No” I replied cheekily and he sighed….. taking my hand while squeezing it tightly.
“You want to talk about it?” He asked calmly and my gaze fixed on him, looking at him with pains aching my chest.
“I just want to be with you, knowing you are around always make me feel better” I snorted and he pulled me into his chest where I just lay there….. feeling like a princess…..his princess.
“I’m getting so close on catching him and when I do, I will let you take justice……I will let you do to him whatever you please” he assured and I raised my head to look at him again, I just can’t get enough of his beauty.
“Jayson?” I called.
“Yeah, Star?” He answered.
“You know, there was a time I was planning on telling you something very important?” I questioned and he looks back at me.
“Yeah, you never got to tell me” he said, tugging me closer to his comforting warmth.
“Can you wait a little bit longer?, I just want to know if you will be able to wait till I’m fully ready to tell you, and promise me you won’t get mad at me……. much” I asked with my face buried in his chest and he stroked my hair backwards.
“I won’t rush you, princess, whatever it is you want to me?, I’m ready to listen and I will wait till you are ready” he assured and I didn’t know when a tear slipped down my eye.
“Promise?” I asked perking out my pinky finger.
“I promise, Star” he answered, locking our pinky fingers as he kissed the interlocked fingers gently.
I didn’t know love until I met this man, his is everything I ever wished for, he’s more than what I bargained for, loving him wasn’t part of the plan but I guess, there was never really a plan in the first place, I just walz into his life and he held me still before I tumbled off, he’s now my strength and I’d rather die than not being with him.
If though the truth later hurts, I’m sure he wouldn’t hate me….. much.
Gina sat still…. unmoving as Mandy walked in, her hands bandaged as she saw the gloomy look on Gina’s face.
“Everything alright, gurl?” Mandy asked, Gina isn’t the type of person who sulks around, she’s always full of energy and always shiny and always laughing, Gina is a vibes girl but seeing her like this, something isn’t right.
“I did something really stupid” she voiced out and Mandy immediately sat close to her.
“You slept with someone’s boyfriend?” Mandy asked teasingly, trying to ease her mood and she chuckles at that before hitting Mandy playfully
“Nah, I had a little disagreement with my mom and I said some nasty shĂ®t…… something I shouldn’t have said but I can’t take it back no more, I already said it” she joaked and Mandy nods in understanding.
“Come here baby, no need to sulk over that, I’m sure something made you say that” Mandy cooed and Gina suggles into her embrace.
“I shouldn’t have said that…….I actually wished her dead” Gina frowned upon herself.
“FĂşck!, you did what!?” Mandy snapped slightly angry.
“I know I’m stupid” Gina sniffled as Mandy lets out a huge exhale.
“I’m sure you had your reasons….. don’t beat yourself up” Mandy offered and Gina shakes her head.
“I just……I just have this stupid feeling that my Mom is been partial….. like she doesn’t treat us equally, she prefers Jayson to Jasper and i” she furthered, looking hurt.
“You don’t even know Jasper…..” Mandy trails.
“But he’s still my brother, and I love him….. even though I don’t know what he looks like, I still feel his pains and each fĂącking day I try to figure out what made him do what he did eighteen years ago, he was so young…..why would he even think of killing someone?, that’s so wrong” Gina fussed, looking angry.
“Are you saying that it’s your Mother’s fault?, are you saying that she’s the reason he had those murder thoughts?” Mandy asked softly
“Exactly, if she had ever cared for him, even a little…..if she had ever paid attention to him, if she had tried to figure out what was eating her son up, I bet Jasper wouldn’t have done something terrible” Gina explained and Mandy saw some senses in what she said.
“I think you are right, maybe she never really cared for him…… enough to know what’s going on in Jasper head at time, she was too busy focused on……”
“Jayson!….” Gina completed Mandy’s statement, she looks so angry she’s about to burst.
“It’s okay….. I’m sure she didn’t mean it that way, nobody is perfect and anyone can make such mistakes” Mandy cooed.
“That’s an expensive mistake, I just want to see my brother, I want to know how’s doing since my Mother doesn’t care” Gina rasped out in tears as Mandy pulled her close, crying her eyes out on Mandy’s shoulder.
🍒Jasmine’s POV🍒
I feel a lot better now, with Jayson by my side as he hands me my box of chocolate and I grined mischievously, swiping the box off his hands as I opened the box hasteningly…… digging my nails into the little edges as I ripped it open and slowly opened the box, the cakes were lined perfectly in deep chocolate…. looking so pleasant and tasteful to the eyes.
“You bought me cake, I said chocolate you dummy” I scolded playfully and he huffed his shoulder.
“It’s the cake not covered in chocolate?” He asked and I rolled my eyes.
“Don’t you dare spike me, and as a matter of fact, you aren’t getting taste from my cake” I pointed out as I slide from the kitchen highland and scotted out of the kitchen, I can feel Jayson behind me as I tried running but I couldn’t go far, he lauched his hands and pulled me back, landing on the couch with laughter filling the air.
“You should know better than to run, Princess” he said with a smirk and take a slice of the cake while I try to stifle my laughter.
“I prefer Star” I said with a frown and he stands straight.
“And I prefer your lips…… Princess” he teased and I kicked him as he falls over the other couch, we started laughing at the same time as he pretends to be hurt, clutching onto his leg as he groans.
The door bell made me frown as I opted to answer the door.
“Don’t you dare touch my cake while I’m gone” I snarled at him, earning a chuckle from him as I walked towards the door, opening it and I’m welcome with a glitter bomb to the face.
“Happy birthday in advance gurl!” Mika’s loud voice echoed as my entire body is covered in glitter, I tried opening my eyes and another bomb hit my face and I immediately knew it was from Roland.
Sick bastards.
My funny sick bastards.
“Not quite what I was expecting but I know I’m surrounded by crazy fellas, so yeah” I coughed out the glitter from my mouth and I finally opened my eyes to see Roland holding up a big box.
What the fĂşck!?
“For the birthday girl, we decided to spoil you a little since you’ve been going through a lot lately” Mika said as I collect the box from Roland……a big smile plastered on Jayson’s face as I walk and sat besides him.
“You deserve more bestie” Roland chimed in as he stood in front of me and tears filled my eyes immediately.
“You guys shouldn’t have, honestly” I was short of the right words to say.
“Nonsense!, now open your pre birthday gift” Mika said excitedly as I ripped the box open and I gasped, staring at the both of them as I pulled out a pretty looking dress, matched with heels, bags and jewelries…….my eyes lit up as I stared at the gift, it’s more than beautiful.
“Mika…. Roland, this must be really expensive” I cried out as Jayson held my shaky hands.
“Well, a new friend of mine helped as well” she giggled and I furrowed my eyebrows.
“New friend?” I asked and another presence filled the room and Mika giggled, pulling her closer.
“Jasmine, I want you to officially meet Delilah” Mika said and my senses ticked, I thought they hated each other.
“I know, we once hated each other but we decided it’s best if we let the past stay behind us while we furged ahead in life, she’s really sweet once you get to know her” Mika said and Delilah looks away akwardly and a small smile creept on my face.
“Thanks, Delilah” I muttered and she looks at me, she’s indeed very beautiful with the perfect set of blue eyes, hugging her pretty face structure.
“You are welcome, Mika actually picked the dress and I sorted out the rest, I hope you love them” she said sweetly and I giggled, laying on Jayson”s shoulder.
“I love them” I said with gratitude.
“Then let’s celebrate!, It’s two days from now!” Roland cheers as he heads into the winery, Jayson followed him and so does Delilah.
“Are you sure about her being close?” I asked Mika with doubts written boldly on my face.
“She has been good so far, I think I do” Mika said and I shake my head in disapproval.
“You still have to be careful, remember she’s obsessed with Roland, I don’t think it will be possible for her to just let it go…… don’t let your gaurds down Mika” I warned and Mika nods.
Avia sighs heavily as she tucks Jasper’s keys to his rad bike in her pocket, she packed her hair in a ponytail and made sure she’s gagged and ready to flee.
This is going to be a suicide mission and she’s willing to risk it.
She casually head down the stairs and met Jasper drinking hot coco, it’s steaming as she could clearly see the vapors ozzing from the top of the ceramic cup curled up in his hands.
“Can I have a cup too?” I asked with a pretty smile and he nods, Laurence was inside the kitchen as he gave her a filled cup, her heart was pounding crazily as she thought of how to escape these monsters, she actually evesdroped on their conversation again and she knows exactly where they are and how to find her way back.
“I just hope Jasmine tells those pĂşnks to stop chasing us” Jasper said angrily and she scoffed.
Us?……. ewwww, no way.
“You think she’s going to be scared of your little threat?” Avia taunted and Jasper glared at her and her eyes darts to the door, it’s freaking unlocked, jackpot!
“She better be or else I’m going to fĂşck her and her entire world up for good….. and her little baby in her tiny womb” Jasper smriks and Avia’s eyes widened.
“She’s pregnant?” Avia asked obviously shocked.
“I can never be wrong, I’ve got eyes everywhere” Jasper boasted and Avia rolled her eyes, why is she suddenly feeling bad for Jasmine, her brother and this bastard are up to no good, her Dad is dead, what else does she have to lose.
“I’m not going to let you hurt her” Avia blurted out before she could stop herself, she’s even shocked by her own words but doesn’t say it
“Going soft?……I thought you were stronger than that, I thought you hated her?, weak bastard” Jasper rasped out and Avia glared at him, smashing the ceramic cup directly on his head with all her power as Jasper growled harshly in pains, all the content pouring on his face as he jumped up immediately, groaning from the burn.
“How’s that for weak!” She spat as she runs towards the door.
“Oh, no, you don’t” Jasper rasped as he ignores his bleeding head and kicked the door shut before she could open it, she spins backwards, headbutting him as he staggered backwards, a slap on her cheek and she falls down, blood spewing out of her mouth as she grabbed his leg and sink her teeth into it, biting off his flesh and he roars in pains, grabbing her by the hair and sending several slaps on her face just to make her weak.
“Let me go you stupid bastard!” She spits his blood on his face and he released her, she used the chance and elbows his jaw and he falls to the door and she held him there……..he doesn’t want to hurt her, she knows and she’s using it to her advantage.
“Are you scared of hurting me big guy?, too bad because I’m so going to screw you up!” She fisted his neck while he tries to push her off without hurting her, Avia eyes gleamed with mischievous schemes as she choked him to death.
“Fight back, you dirty murder!” Avia spat angrily, kicking him in the stomach repeatedly.
“Avia, you little piece of shĂ®t!……” Laurence suddenly appears with a knife and stormed towards them, aiming for Avia and she quickly ducks, the knife drills into Jasper’s shoulder and a loud groan escaped him, she wrenches the knife off his shoulder and slashed Laurence on his face, he was obviously distracted by Jasper’s pains and he falls down with blood gushing off his face.
“I’m not your average bĂ®tch pĂşnks, think about this moment when you try to hold me hostage again, fools!” She spat Jasper’s remaining blood on the both of them, kicking Laurence in the face and exited the door, Jasper obviously passed out and Laurence was groaning in agony as she heads for Jasper’s super shiny bike, smriking to herself as she looks at the building one more time, soaking in every detail.
“Avia!……I will get you for this!….. fĂącking bastard!” Laurence growls and she smriks….. hopping on the bike as she blew him a kiss mockingly before zooming off.
“I’m coming for you, cousin” Avia mutters as she speed through the thick bushes…… zooming into the darkness.
