Chapter: Chapter 30"I am not afraid that he is going to sue me," Jasmine said, smiling indifferently. "I am afraid that he will not.""Really?" he said, thinking for a moment, "Do you have a backup for all of those materials then?"He knew that as a perfumer, one was supposed to have A backup for all of their documentation. It was a lot of information and sometimes it was necessary to put it all in different places for safety and reference purposes. That much Jasper knew."I do actually, but Antonio took everything," Jasmine said.Her love for Antonio had blindsided her, so that she had never for once actually considered the need to make secret copies or duplicates. She had left it all in the laboratory. And those men Antonio had hired had taken them all away.Jasper drew his brows together and squinted at her,"If you don't have the backed-up data, then how come you can be so confident in a situation like this?"She had a plan she was not going to talk about. But he asked about it, and there was nothin

Chapter: Chapter 29"Ah, it was okay, I guess. A new fresh start, with new colleagues. It's like a breath of fresh air."She chose not to add the odds she experienced with Lucia. After all, it was not everyone who would get along with her in every situation. There was also the fact that Lucia was not completely wrong. She was not famous by any means and had a lawsuit on her head. Her reputation was not even at its finest at the moment. So she understood where she was coming from.Her entering into the company was through nepotism, which was why she was set on working hard and showing them just how capable she was, rather than relying on jasper's help for everything."alright. That's good to hear," he said and leaned down to peck her cheek.Actually, he knew everything that had happened. How could he not? But if she chose to not bring it up, then there was no need for him to poke it. She wanted to do things without disclosing their relationship and he was willing to see how far she would go with such stub

She betrayed this company, and for that reason no longer works here." saying this he threw an envelope on the table before him, "You've given this company your very best these past months. That is for you."Maria looked at the envelope and found that it was bulging,"Open it and take a look," Antonio said with a lift of his chin, smiling proudly.But she did not have to open it. The envelope was a bit open and she saw the pink bank notes In it."Is this a way to buy me, Mr.Luigi?" she asked, with a raise of her brow, but did not reach for the envelope."I have not said that." Antonio said, with a shake of his head, "This is a reward for how well you work. And as long as you continue to be dedicated to your work, you will get more rewards.""Ahh. Thank you so much, sir," she said and finally reached for the envelope.She placed it in her pocket without any worry. After all, he had said the money

It is nothing but the truth. I don't know what she might have told you to get you on board, but I will not have a plagiarist on my team." saying this, Lucia got up and stormed out of the room,"Lucia, Lucia! Hey!" Mr. Romeo called out, but he could not get her to say. He turned to Leonardo and sighed, seeming somewhat embarrassed,"I'm sorry. The woman's temper can be this terrible most times."Leonardo just shook his head, "it's a surprise we've worked with her for so long." Leonardo said and turned to Jasmine,"My apologies about her, please don't take her words to heart. She has a terrible temper and a twisted tongue to go with it. But at the end of the day, she has a good heart. In time, I'm sure the both of you will get along just fine."She was not sure that they would but she nodded nonetheless, "I hope so. In any case,

Chapter: Chapter 26The next move Antonio made was not one filled with voids, but rather actions, and so he went to the company’s profile and posted a lawyer’s letter against Jasmine, one that vowed to sue her and make her apologize to the company, as well as compensate the company for losses.He did not just post the letter on the company’s homepage, but also on some social media platforms that belonged to the company.He went all out.And because the people at Roodles didn’t say anything, the public was set to be swayed.At least, some of them.At the press conference, there were people who were confused by the whole dilemma, and some who doubted that Jasmine was innocent. Now, in light of this public statement, they had reason to truly believe that she was guilty.Because if she really was not guilty, why was Roodles not saying anything? Why had Jasmine not come up with favorable evidence proving her innocence?And even when she had been questioned at the conference, she had said very little and not e

But moving her hand as she did made her hiss in pain.Jasper raised a brow at her description and took her hand in his.“Are you injured?” he asked, his face cold, his voice even colder. And every line on his face told her that he was unhappy.“No, it’s not what you think.” she rushed on to explain. “It’s been a while since I practiced my martial arts. So, I’m just a bit rusty.”She looked at him hopefully before turning from one side to the other.“Just look, I’m not injured anywhere.”He pulled her closer and examined

Did she look like the woman he once knew?Ronan stared at the indifferent eyes, feeling somewhat depressed. He had watched her accept Conor's clothes and saw the way she smiled at him. But she rejected him, she treated him differently and not in the best of ways.His gaze ran over her and all he could think of was other men seeing the way he saw her right then. The thought made his heart burn and he longed to take her into the house and educate her about who her man actually was, and whom it was that she was supposed to be smiling at."Must you always make every encounter we have to go south?" he asked Isabella, and drew her by the wrist, holding on to her tightly so that his grip hurt he

I guess I had just hoped that his heart would grow warm. I had hoped that things would get better between him and I. but now I know better. Some people's hearts just stay cold. But I need you to know that I didn't marry him for the money. I guess I was young and wanted to be with someone who gave me some kind of comfort. But I failed at it. I failed so badly."

She scratched at her eyes and froze when she saw the caller ID."Maeve?" she whispered but didn't pick up the call. It was just so unexpected.Her mind played over all of the reasons Mrs. Patterson would want to call her. Was it because she hadn't abided by the rules of her and Ronan's marriage or had she discovered about Noah?"You don't want to pick up?" Connor asked, taking his eyes off the road to spare her a glance.She sighed, "I'll pick up now." she pursed her lips and picked up the call,"Hello? Maeve?""Ah, Isabella." The voice on the other end was gentle. It was gentle but audible. And it warmed Isabella's heart to know that it was also happy.She relaxed in the chair she was sitting in and stared into her lap, "Maeve?"In her marriage with Ronan, the one person that made it bearable was Maeve, Ronan's mother.

Ireland was beautiful at night, but amidst all that beauty, she existed. Alone. The truth was, she what always been alone. It just took her a damn good long time to come to terms with the fact."Why did you even marry that man, anyway?" Connor asked.

Isabella said with a cruel smile, she walked closer to Eileen and looked at the face that had been beaten and swollen, and bending over her ran a cool hand down her stinging cheek, "But you see, just like your mother, you seem to have a thing for trash. And so I did the noble thing. I gave you the trash you craved.""No. It's not. It can't be." Eileen said belligerently.She had done her investigations. She had learned of Isabella's unwavering devotion toward Ronan. So refused to believe that a woman who had devoted herself without any self-respect now felt absolutely nothing for that man.No, it was simply hard to believe."Stop with the pretense, Isabella. You were with Ronan for three years, at the moment you learned of my arrival, you had to make room for me. So it doesn't matter what you say, you are still pitiful. You killed yourself day after day for him, but couldn't even keep him."The more she spoke, the more

She had faced a hard hit when the Athanatoi had thrown her aside, and Hannah was sure they had been cruel to her even before they reached the castle. It made her angry just thinking about it. Made her sad looking at Grandmother, the way she looked frail and vulnerable. Her parents had said Martha was Welcome, shwe just wished Martha had been there sooner, then those ancient devils would never have gotten a chance to touch her. But nevertheless, she was with them now, and by God Almighty, as long as she lived, they’d never lay a hand on her grandmother ever again.

She wondered vaguely just how many more passages in this place were hidden doors that looked like walls. Jasper grabbed her and hugged her hard against him. He held her and she could hear his racing heart and joined him as he began to recite 'our father.' And their voices became one cry.

Which she had, she'd watched Jasper enter the throne room and turned away somewhat hurt that he hadn't shared the fact that he had been summoned by her father, with her. 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 turned to leave the throne room, when her father had bid Jasper to wait. She didn't want to leave then, but had done so with great reluctance after Jasper had nodded at her, which she took for an 'it's okay." But it wasn't okay, not to her. 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. Just once, she wished, closing eyes, just once again, he would be 'papa.'
