Synopsis

Jasmine became a human-robot dead to emotions, the night her parents were murdered in cold blood right in front of her. She was a killer, the type that tempts a man with her body, entices him with her siren-like voice, and then drives a blade into his chest sending him to his Creator. When her uncle and the only family she had is killed by the Governor she sought out to get him in the only way she knows how to, but her plan falls through as she discovered he wasn't in the least interested in her body. In between being his assistant, sharing a floor with him, and wondering why he had such a cold blank look that made her shiver, he slowly was beginning to work his way into a piece of her anatomy she could swear she had tossed into a dumpster - Her heart. Now Jasmine must choose between revenging her uncle's death or try figuring out if there was more to the hardcore desire she felt for a man she was supposed to hate with her being.

Chapter 1

Prologue

"Mom you are crying." Her voice was tiny and confused as she stared curiously at her mom's tear-stained face.

She shook her head, despite her welling tears.

"No, I'm not." Then bent down so she was at eye level with her, while the little girl innocently gazed back at her mother. "No matter what you see, do not make any sound, you get me?" 

Her big eyes darted to her father's, who was nursing the gun wound on his leg as blood flowed from it seamlessly. Noticing her eyes on him, He managed a smile for her benefit.

"Is daddy going to be okay?" 

"Yes baby, yes he will be fine." Her mother coaxed.

"Remember if anything happens." She paused kissing her forehead, "Call Uncle Young, he will know what to do sweetheart."

"Would you come to get me?" She glanced at her mother with trust in her eyes.

 "I will."

She lied.

Seconds after, as she peeked from the wardrobe, Three men stormed into the house with rifles.

She watched them hurl her pregnant mother across the stairs, who had stood protectively in front of her husband, her head colliding with the hardwood and splitting into two, her brains pouring out, shuddered at the sound of each gunshot fired at her father's forehead repeatedly but she stayed still.

Her heart refused to believe what her brain already knew.

She stayed in there, in the dark wardrobe, shivering, her eyes wide with fear and teary. A newly orphaned 7 years old, armed with just a paper and on it was scribbled a number of an uncle that was talked about so much but never visited, hoping that her mom will stand up and come get her as she promised.

Chapter 01| Thy shall not kill
Chapter 01|Thy shall not kill Jasmine rolled her eyes as Kolade's widow screamed, wailing and thrashing on the floor, her four years old son beside her, moping at her in absolute confusion. Then seconds later, He becomes engrossed in glancing at the casket oblivious to the reality, that the man he calls daddy was lying in there.    Jasmine  hated two things intensely in her life amongst others. Being emotional and faking being emotional and as she noticed the whimpers of tears, the fake sobs, and overly pitched moans, she could tell that almost everybody who looked teary was dying to just get their damn act over with.    Everyone knew Kolade's wife would have thrust a knife into his chest and murdered him in cold blood, one of these days if one of their assignments which had gone horribly wrong courtesy of the dead man, had not.    Aside from being an unapologetic cheat, according to rumors spiraling in the Natives,

He asked giving her his perfected confused expression but Jasmine still sees through it all the time.    "Stalling. Before making me do a damn hard, high-risk assignment that none of the numerous men in the native can pull off."    He sighed, closing his eyes.    "You know who killed Kola right?"     She smirked.    "Now, this is the fun part about my job."     "Jesus. Jasmine, you scare me when you talk like that." He said grinning at her.    "It makes business easier and admitting you like it, won't exactly make you a monster through the uncle of the year award is way far from your reach since the day you taught me how to use a gun." She whispered, also grinning.    He nudged

She asked smiling as his warm blood hit her face then she shook her head in disgust standing up to clean her face with his mattress, she cleaned the razor next free from her prints, just in case, and spared a glance at the escorts who stared at her gobsmacked, obviously trying to process what had happened.    She grinned.    As if on cue, one of the men from The Native came in with one of the girls who was originally supposed to be with the murdered man. While the girls just sat on the bed, too shocked to move, their eyes almost bulging from their eyes sockets.

Chapter 04|Playlist from hell  " I don't need any break, if I ain't fighting, if I ain't in any adrenaline deriving activity, then I feel lifeless." Her voice rose even higher with each word. "Being on a break makes me lifeless!"    "Well forgive me, for trying to introduce normality once again into your psychopathic lifestyle," he shouted, his voice booming and echoing in the courtyard. "You are acting like a freak."      There was remorse in His eyes seconds later. "Jas, you know I didn't mean that." He stated, trying to hold her hand.    Her eyes hardened and she took three steps back nodding with a smile.    "Maybe I am a freak, a monster that derives pleasure from watching people's blood on the floor, did I also tell you that these days I crave the metallic scent of blood? and just maybe I would have appreciated my birthday if it came with a fucking killing spree but as you feel all f

Chapter 05|An eye for an eye
Chapter 05|An eye for an eye She ran into the house, locking herself in her room, and then fell on the bed with a thud. Pretending that her uncle was in his room, snoring lightly she slept off.   At midnight, she woke up, and then she sobbed into her pillow till the stream of daylight illuminated her form. *** Jasmine slides down the pole, with the skill of an expert. She had practiced pole dancing when she had once acted out as a stripper on one of her numerous assignments.   While she danced under the leering ogling eyes of all the hot-blooded men in the vicinity She couldn't help but wonder why although she hasn't practiced for a while now and it was supposed to hurt, which it did. Her movement was more graceful, her steps more fluid, her body so flexible.   Her lips were curved into a sly seductive grin as she flashed the men her pants and they all went wild with want while she reveled in the control she had over the

Chapter 06|I'm the Native, the Native is me
Chapter 06|I'm the Native, the Native is me .She was almost scared he had passed out, his poker face schooled expression was still on, his lips pressed in a tight line. None of her moves shook him and with each second that passed, while she watched his passive almost bored expression grow, She also grew desperate, angry, and then grunting she gave up exiting the stage.    He was immune to her body, dead to her charms.   So what next? She thought hurling her lampstand against the wall angrily later that night. *** "Anything?" She impatiently asked Chucks, whose eyes were fixated on his computer.    He didn't reply to her, as the clack-clack of the computer showed he was busy.    She studied the rows and rows of computers in the team's tech room, in need of something to do rather than impatiently bugging Chucks.   "He is almost non-existent until he became Governor.

Chapter 07|The ruled rather than the ruler
Chapter 07|The ruled rather than the ruler Jasmine traced the picture of her uncle's picture with her dad laughing while sitting beside each other on the floor. It was her father's 8th year birthday and there has certainly not been a party because in their hands were guns, their body was sweaty from practice and she could almost imagine both boys rolling on the floor, playing like kids were meant to and poking fun at each other. Acting normal.    She chuckled lightly even as she dropped the picture to the side and a tear dropped on the next picture she picked up. It was still that of her uncle and Dad on the same day but beside them was her grandfather, they looked nothing like the two children who had goofy smiles that were so wide and even comical.    In place of their goofiness was just pure stoicism, their eyes didn't shine with pure delight and more importantly, they didn't look like they knew what childhood tasted like.

Chapter 08|Power reinsertion
Chapter 08|Power reinsertion Jasmine rolled her eyes, fed up with the nonchalant chatter at the back by two of the men while she tried to explain what their weekly routine was going to be like and who was in charge of what.    "Obinigwe!" She shouted, calling out the name of the man who was the loudest between the two and the most audacious.    He squared his chest as he left his seat, walking towards her and straightening his posture to his six feet something inches, he looked down at her.   "Nwanya, when I was serving in the Navy, you were still an infant suckling on her mother's bosom," He started disrespectfully, scorn in his tone, "So don't shout my name that loud, ever."    Jasmine knew he had been wanting to tell her this for a long time and that was why he had tried to attract her attention with his chatter.    "Obinigwe, do you know who you are talking to like that?" Chidi asked, se

Chapter 09|Dumb is the new Normal
Chapter 09|Dumb is the New Normal She wanted to give Chucks normal even in a family of criminals like herself, in a place where guns were carelessly dropped like they were toys and were an ideal present for a child.    She wanted the only assignment he had to do, to be in a book and not a possible way of saying goodbye to his adorable face.    She didn't want him to be the weirdo who was always on his computer, the teenage guy who wasn't obsessed with video games or in her case, parties, and boys.    University was like a rude awakening to reality. She tried to ghost everyone and even though she came back right after classes, she still heard the whispers, the Snickers.    She was the abnormal girl who was able to beat two Feared cultists in her Year one, who wanted to rob her and didn't break a sweat.    He was already so intelligent it freaked her atimes. She didn't want him to be bull
