Chapter: Chapter 55Jasmine opened the file in the contract and found that it was insurance… for her nose. She scanned through the words and found that the price was very high. She could only be in shock right at that moment."Is this necessary, Jasper?" she asked in a little above a whisper."of course it is." Jasper said with conviction, "you're a perfumer, and your greatest asset in this business is most definitely your nose."He was right though. Perfumery required a very sensitive nose, and a nose like hers was great to be protected. Sometimes it wasn't just enough to work hard, when you were a perfumer, you also needed to be able to distinguish between various scents. And for that reason, he felt the necessity to do this for her.She knew of the whole sensitivity thing, however, she just did not feel that her nose needed to be insured. She just didn't feel she was worth the trouble the man went through for her."it's just too much," she said quietly."Nothing is too much when it comes to you, jas,"

Chapter: Chapter 54Her feelings for Jasper were undeniable. But love?To say she loved him was completely something else, and she wasn't sure that she was capable of using that word so liberally at such a time.True, he was handsome, and kind, and gentle. Whenever he did anything, he always thought of her. He always put her first. So she had feelings for him. But love?However, Jasper hadn't expected her to answer immediately. If anything, he expected her hesitance, and simply smiled,"it's okay if you don't have an answer just yet. I believe that in time, you will learn to love me," he said kindly. He was not even spitting arrogance at all."and for the at reason," he began and paused, "we won't make love until then. We won't move on to that point until you are sure of your feelings for me. Until you feel love. Until you are ready to give yourself wholeheartedly to me."Saying this, he got up, and when she realized what was happening she panicked and hastily questioned him,"and me? Do you love me?"He

Chapter: Chapter 53“Jasper…” she wanted to speak, unsure of what she even meant to say. But he brought a finger to her lips, stopping her.“You don’t have to say anything right now.” He said gently.She knew she didn’t. But the more she remained quiet, the faster her heart raced and she just could not abide herself right at that moment.Not with how close they were at that moment. Not with how her heart and mind were full of him. Her nose was full of the scent of him, her eyes full of the look of him. He was everything to her at that moment. He was all that she knew.Her mouth was dry, but still she swallowed and the unconscious movement had her throat moving up and down. It was a movement that triggered Jasper’s feral side for some reason. But when he brought his lips to hers, he was gentle, soft unlike the wildness that tugged at him to get out.She was still wet from her bathing, and his body pressed against hers made his clothes wet as well. But that was the least of his worries.He ran his hands ov

She stretched and turned to the experiments in front of her, but didn't do much about any of it.Eventually, when Flora felt as though she'd gotten a hang of her emotions, she turned to her again, "Fine. So tell me, what do you want?"She didn't like the role she was playing for a moment, but she had to because it was much easier to deal with the girl in front of her than go to Jasmine and asked her for help or guidance.Maria tilted her head to the side and smiled, "oh, wow, so there's room for negotiation then? Are you that powerful Afterall director ma'am?"The enthusiasm on Maria's face angered Flora to no end, but she swallowed her feelings.

You're famous for all the wrong reasons and got a lawsuit firsthand, but even no, you refuse to come back?""It's not that I don't want to go back, Demetri. I will when I believe the time is right. And concerning the lawsuits, I assure you that I'm doing my best to deal with it all. No one is going to associate me with this family, so you can drop that worry."She had good intentions, but her statement only angered him, "so what? You think that we are ashamed of being connected to you?""I don't know. What I do know is, when all that needs doing is done, I promise I'll come home. I'll speak to Grandfather.

And as he looked at her, he weighed the choices that were laid before him.He had already brought so much misfortune to her, she could any differently, but he knew better.

In that place there wasn't any pain, any sorrow, any anxiety, or separation from the people you loved. And she had fallen in love with the place called heaven. Had yearned for it in her innermost heart.Was that where she was now? Or was she simply floating?And if it was a place where all her loved ones were, where were her parents? Where was Dante? Where was Bryan?Yes, where she was beautiful. A garden, and a bench where she sat, with a stream close by. She got up from the bench and walked to a man who when he turned around greeted her with a warm smile and kind eyes. She might have known him, her heart told her she knew him, but she didn't remember him."

Chapter: Chapter 44IF THERE EVER comes a day when you might worry about the wellbeing of an ex. Know that you worry for the love that once was, not for the love that you wish there could be. These thoughts floated through Aine's mind as she sat shot gun in Winslow's car on their way to Rhoda's.He had fought her decision to follow him, she had fought right back. In the end she had won. So she'd called Bryan on the way, and although she heard his worry, she made him understand how she couldn't stay in the shop while that deranged woman sang victory. Eventually Cedric had closed shop and stayed with Bridget until he got word that was well."

She had walked back to her bed Chambers and sat on her bed, standing again several minutes later, telling herself she would not mope. Instead she had a bath, had a maiden do up her and walked to Jasper's newly assigned room. it wasn't that hard to find, the guards could be very helpful when they had a mind to. And so she waited for him to come back and wondered what it was that was being said between both the king and Jasper that took so long. She wasn’t nosy, she didn’t see herself as nosy anyway.

She had no idea why king Asher would want to talk to Jasper, or what he had in mind to speak to him about. It caused her great anxiety . She had inquired of his whereabouts from one of her ladies but they gave her no answers and curious looks to which she rolled her eyes internally.She could just go to the king himself, but that required courage. Because Jasper was right, she thought of him more of a king than her father, and a king in all he was, demanded respect just for being a king.
