BOUND TO THE TEXAS TYCOON Chapter Twenty-Nine
Jasmine’s POV“Jasmine, I didn’t know you were in here. I came to drop this report for Adonis.”Sebastian’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts the moment he opened the study door and found me sitting on the couch. I stood up at once.“Why are you still here? I asked you to leave repeatedly.” My voice came out sharper than I intended.“Calm down,” he said, closing the door behind him. “After nearly running into Ralph Lorenzo the other day, I wanted to leave, but your brother threatened to tell Adonis everything if I did.”I stared at him. “What? Dave did that?”Sebastian nodded. “He thinks that if I leave, you won’t give him the bribe money. That’s why he wants me to stay. To keep pushing you.”I ran a hand through my hair, feeling the weight of it settle in my chest. Of course Dave would do something like this. I had always known my brother was selfish, but this went beyond anything I expected. The most vile, calculating person in my life, and he shared my blood.“Jasmine, we have to

Adonis’s POVI pulled Uncle Mason into a hard hug the moment I reached him. His shoulders felt solid under my arms, familiar in a way nothing else on this ranch had felt in a long time.“You didn’t tell me you were coming back to Texas,” I said against his shoulder. “I’m glad to see you. I missed you.”He held on a second longer before we stepped apart. His eyes dropped to the bandage on my hand.“And you didn’t tell me you got hurt, boy. Thank goodness I came when I did.”“It’s fine. I’m getting better.”“When did you get back?”“Three days ago.” His gaze shifted past me toward Jasmine for a brief moment. “I swore I wouldn’t set foot on this ranch again after the way your father treated me long ago. But when I heard what happened to you, I changed my mind.”“Thanks, Uncle.” I turned slightly so he could see her clearly. “This is my wife, Jasmine. You already know about her.”Jasmine stepped forward.“Jasmine, this is Uncle Mason. My mother’s younger brother. He’s been living in Germa

Jasmine’s POVThe late afternoon sun stretched across the lawn, long and gold. I stood facing Dave near the edge of the grass, far enough from the main house that the workers wouldn’t hear us. My arms were crossed tight against my chest.“Dave, I know exactly what you’re capable of. That’s why I’m begging you. Do not tell Mom that Sebastian is at my husband’s ranch,” I said.He smiled. The same easy smile he always wore when he had the upper hand. His eyes stayed on me, steady and unreadable.“What do you take me for? I won’t tell her.”“What’s that look on your face?” I rolled my eyes.“I saw Uncle Lorenzo leaving yesterday. He knows Sebastian well. You’re lucky they didn’t cross paths. Your secret would have been finished.” His smile widened.“Just stop laughing like a fool.” I ignored the rest of what he said. “Dave, I don’t trust your word. You’re the same person who lied about me to my husband. You stood there and let him throw that innocent woman out of this house.”His smile fa

Adonis POVI stood up from the bed slower than I wanted, the ache in my side pulling at me the second I moved. My eyes squinted against the light as a knock sounded on the bedroom door.“Come in,” I called.Antonio stepped inside. He looked around the room once, then sat on the couch across from me.“Good evening, Adonis. How are you feeling now?”“Good evening, Antonio. Better. Thank you. Did you find out anything?”“No. Nothing. I spoke with the workers in charge of the paddocks. They said they didn’t see a thing. The guards are still searching, but the footage is gone. Deleted.”I let out a short breath. “That’s crazy.”“Yeah. Something’s going on at this ranch that doesn’t sit right with me.”I looked at him. “You think the men who shot us are from here?”“Maybe. There have been robberies before. And Louis is the only ranch worker, aside from the guards, who owns a gun. That alone feels off.”I nodded slowly. “I left him in charge of a lot. Including the key to the warehouse where

Jasmine’s POV“Please take him upstairs. The doctor will be here in a few minutes.”Mr. Albert’s voice cut through the noise and pulled me out of the frozen state I had been stuck in. Sebastian moved past me quickly with Adonis still on his back. Everyone else rushed after them. I forced my legs to move and followed them up the stairs, my heart hammering so hard it hurt.Inside the bedroom, the guards carefully lifted Adonis from Sebastian’s back and laid him on the bed.“Careful,” Dave said. “Slowly. Don’t hurt him.”“Alexi, tell Dominga to bring bandages, cool water, and whatever first aid we have to stop the bleeding until the doctor arrives,” I ordered.Alexi hesitated. “Ma’am… Dominga is not here.”Of course she wasn’t here. The realization hit me a second too late. I had almost forgotten.Mr. Albert stepped closer and pulled me into a brief hug. “It’s alright, my dear. The wound on his head looks worse than it is. It’s only a scratch.”“But he was shot in the arm and the leg,” I

Jasmine POV(Two weeks later)“Matteo, tell the gardener to water these lilies every single day. Even if he cannot do it himself, he must make sure someone else takes care of them. They are my favorite flowers, and I do not want to watch them die.”Matteo stood a few steps away and nodded. “Alright, ma’am. I will pass the message to him.”“You can leave now.”He walked out of the garden without another word. I stayed where I was for a moment, looking at the pale flowers. The garden had become one of the few places on the ranch where I could breathe without feeling watched every second. I moved slowly between the beds, checking the other plants, when a familiar voice spoke behind me.“You’ve been avoiding me for weeks, Jasmine.”I did not turn around. My shoulders tensed. “I have nothing left to say to you, Seb.”He stepped closer. “I never left the kitchen that day. I heard everything. I heard how you gave yourself to Adonis just to force me to leave. Do you have any idea how hard it
