view moreChapter 16aLucas’s sudden return into her life and Ethan's dangerous threats had unsettled her more than she cared to admit. She wanted peace, a life free from complications, but it seemed fate had other plans. Her phone buzzed on the counter, pulling her back to the present. It was a message from Mrs. Ray: *“Meet me at the law office at 11 a.m. I have important news.”* Jasmine’s heart skipped a beat. Important news? She wondered if it was about the company or Ethan's forged documents. Whatever it was, she had to be prepared. ---At exactly 11 a.m., Jasmine entered Mrs. Ray’s office. The warm, inviting space did little to ease her nerves. Mrs. Ray was already seated at her desk, a file open in front of her. “Good morning, Jasmine,” Mrs. Ray greeted with a smile. “Good morning. What’s the news?” Jasmine asked, sitting across from her. Mrs. Ray's expression turned serious. "I’ve reviewed the documents Lucas found from your grandfather's estate. They could be the key to recl
Chapter 15Jasmine stood by the window of her small apartment, watching the sun sink below the horizon. The sky was painted in shades of orange and pink, but none of it touched her heart. Her mind was tangled with worries and questions she couldn’t shake off. Leaving Lucas should have been the end of her troubles, but life seemed to have other plans. Her phone vibrated on the kitchen counter, pulling her back to the present. She picked it up and saw Mrs. Ray’s name on the screen. "Hello, Mrs. Ray," Jasmine answered. "Jasmine, are you okay?" Mrs. Ray’s voice was filled with concern. "I’m trying to be," Jasmine said, keeping her voice steady. "You need to be careful," Mrs. Ray warned. "Ethan is dangerous. He’s not the kind of man you can ignore." "I know," Jasmine admitted. "But I can’t afford security, and I don’t want to bother anyone." "You’re not bothering me," Mrs. Ray said firmly. "My door is always open for you." "Thank you," Jasmine said softly. "I mean it." Af
Chapter 17Jasmine sat by her window, staring out at the quiet street below. The world outside looked calm, but her mind wasn’t. Ethan’s threats, Lucas’s sudden reappearance, and Mrs. Ray’s warnings were all swirling inside her. She tried to focus on the small notebook in front of her, filled with goals and ideas for her future, but her thoughts kept drifting. Her phone buzzed, breaking her concentration. She glanced at the screen—it was a message from Mrs. Ray. *“Call me when you can. I have something important to tell you.”* Jasmine sighed and picked up the phone, dialing Mrs. Ray’s number. “Good morning, Jasmine,” Mrs. Ray greeted warmly. “Morning,” Jasmine replied. “I got your message. What’s going on?” Mrs. Ray’s tone turned serious. “I’ve been hearing things about Ethan. He’s been reaching out to some dangerous people. I don’t know the details, but it sounds like he’s planning something.” Jasmine felt her stomach twist. “What do you mean, dangerous people?” “I me
Chapter 16Jasmine sat by the window of her small apartment, staring blankly at the city lights outside. Her notebook lay open on the table beside her, filled with unfinished plans and reminders of the new life she was trying to build. But no matter how hard she tried, her thoughts kept circling back to Lucas. The man she had spent five years with was suddenly everywhere—at the bookstore, at her apartment, and now in her thoughts. She didn’t want to care, but his apology had stirred something inside her. Was he being sincere? Did it even matter? Before she could dwell further, a sharp knock on the door jolted her. She hesitated, her mind racing. “Who is it?” she called, trying to steady her voice. “It’s Mrs. Ray,” came the reply. Relief washed over her as she hurried to open the door. Standing there was Mrs. Ray, holding a large tote bag and wearing a warm smile. “I thought you could use some company,” Mrs. Ray said, stepping inside. “And I brought dinner. You can’t keep l
Chapter 15Jasmine sat on the worn-out couch in her small apartment, staring at the notebook on the coffee table. Its pages were filled with half-scribbled plans—ideas for a fresh start, notes on businesses she wanted to explore, and affirmations reminding her to stay strong. Yet, tonight, those wo

Chapter 14 Lucas stood near the window of Jasmine’s apartment, his tall frame tense as he stared out into the quiet street.
