Blake’s POV

I sat at my desk, staring at the schedule in front of me. Meetings, reports, calls... everything could wait. First, I needed to deal with my secretary. I pressed the intercom.

"Tell Miss Clara to come in now."

She entered a few seconds later, looking nervous. Her hands were tight around her notepad and she avoided my eyes which increased my suspicion.

"Sit down," I said quietly.

She sat slowly.

"Did you tell any Mr Daniel about my marriage with Jasmine?" I asked her straight.

Her eyes widened as she shook her head fast.

"No, sir. I would never…"

"Don’t lie to me," I hissed out, anger coursing through me at her pathetic attempt to lie it off. "I’m not in the mood to play games, Clara."

"I swear, I didn’t…"

"I can have you arrested right now," I said, leaning forward. "I have evidence. So you better speak now before it gets worse."

Her lips trembled and she shook her head slowly for a while. And then suddenly, she dropped to the floor and began to cry.

"I’m sorry, sir! I did

  • A Deal With Mr.Remington   Chapter 62

    Jasmine POV The noise around me grew louder as I stood there. People were whispering, some were shaking their heads, and others were taking out their phones to record. I didn’t know what was going on at first, but after listening carefully, I started piecing things together from the scattered words I caught.Two women behind me were talking fast.“She’s the one,” the first one whispered, her voice low but full of excitement. “The one who ran that Ponzi scheme last year.”“No wonder the police came for her,” the other woman replied. “I heard she took millions and promised people double their money. Then she disappeared.”I blinked and turned my head slightly, pretending not to be listening but still catching every word. A man on my left joined the conversation with his friend.“And she even hired men to beat that woman with three kids,” he said in a hushed tone. “All because the woman asked for her money back. Can you imagine?”“That’s evil,” his friend muttered.My mouth fell open.

  • A Deal With Mr.Remington   Chapter 61

    Jasmine POV I was still inside the toilet cubicle, standing in front of the small mirror behind the door. I pulled down the flush handle and then adjusted my clothes. My hands moved slowly over the fabric as I fixed the creases. I took a deep breath. My mind was running, thinking about the little scandal from earlier.I hoped it wouldn’t ruin our vacation. I didn’t want one stupid video to be the thing that made us pack up and leave. I kept telling myself it was fine, that it was nothing, but deep inside I was scared.Just then, the bathroom door swung open. I froze. I could hear heels clicking against the floor. There were three women. I didn’t look at them, but I could hear their voices clearly.One of them laughed softly. “Did you see that clip? Everyone’s talking about it. It’s Jasmine and Blake again.”The second woman’s voice came fast, defensive. “Oh, please. That video is so obviously edited. Anyone with eyes can see it. People are just looking for drama.”The third one spok

    Blake POV I sat there for a moment, staring at the space where Jasmine had walked off. She had been laughing just minutes ago, teasing me about the food, and now… gone. No warning. No explanation. Just a quick “I’ll be back” and she left.I leaned back in my chair and let out a slow breath.What was that about?Did I say something wrong?Was the food bad?Or maybe… maybe she saw someone she knew?Or something on her phone?My mind went through the last ten minutes of our conversation, trying to remember if I’d said anything that could have made her upset. I couldn’t think of anything. She seemed fine and even smiled and laughed at me.I stabbed a piece of steak with my fork but didn’t bring it to my mouth. My appetite had faded a little.I sighed again.Before I could think more about it, my phone buzzed on the table. I glanced down.Dad.Great. This couldn’t be good. He didn’t usually call me at night unless something was wrong.I picked it up. “Hey, Dad.”His voice came sharp thro

    Blake pov We got back to the hotel, and the air between us felt softer than it had in the car. Not light, not yet, but softer.Jasmine went straight to her suitcase, pulled out her casual clothes — an oversized shirt and shorts — and crawled into them like she was ready to melt into the bed.I dropped my jacket on the chair and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her. She flopped onto her side, head on the pillow, hair loose.For a minute, I just watched her breathing slow. Then I said, “So… you never asked why I took so long earlier.”She turned her head toward me. “What do you mean?”I leaned back against the headboard. “In the restaurant. Before everything… before he showed up. I disappeared for a while to use the restroom and I promised to be back in a jiffy.”Her eyes narrowed slightly. “Yeah. You went to the toilet. What happened?”I smirked a little. “Oh, you want to know now? I was going to tell you earlier, but you were too busy watching that mime guy not to notice your h

    Blake POV I kept my eyes on Daniel. My body was ready to move, ready to step forward if he even tried to touch her again. I'd been looking for a way to teach the asshole a lesson since the stupid thing he did at his gala partyBut then I felt her hand on my face. It was warm and soft and not what I needed at this moment but no matter what I tried to shrug it off, it pulled me out of that moment of pure anger. Without thinking I turned to look at her. She didn’t say much, but she didn’t need to. Her eyes said enough.I took a slow breath. My chest didn’t feel as tight anymore.She anchored me anytime I was going to lose my shit. She always did.I lowered my shoulders a little but didn’t take my eyes off Daniel.Daniel moved his head slightly, looking between the two of us. His tone came slow, like he wanted to make sure every word hit.“I was only talking to Jasmine,” he said. “She can make her own decisions. She doesn’t need you speaking for her.”My hands curled into fists again.H

  • A Deal With Mr.Remington   Chapter 57

    Jasmine POV I sat at the table by the window and kept looking at the door. I'd almost drowned the glass of water I had requested from the waiter before Blake excused himself to use the restroom promising to be back in a jiffy. It shouldn't have taken him more than five minutes to ten minutes at least to walk down to the rest room, make use of it, arrange himself, wash up his hands before stepping and walking right back at me. But as I checked my clock, it was past ten minutes he left. Don't ask me how I knew but I'd been counting. I decided to wait a little bit longer but now it's fifteen minutes. And I was still sitting alone. My fingers tapped the side of the glass. I picked up my phone. My thumb hovered over Blake’s name. I was going to call him and ask where he was. But something outside the glass caught my eye. A mime stood in the middle of the street. His face was painted white. His lips were black. He wore a striped shirt and a hat. He moved his hands like he was trap
