Chapter 6…….
Jasmine sat In Front of the mirror with different thoughts running through her head. It had been a month since she got married and yet it felt like a year.
She remembered their wedding day and the chaos that happened, how Dominic couldn't get over the fact that she was married already
There was nothing he didn't call her, a prostitute, a cheat, a liar…all sorts of abusive names that didn't fit her nature, but there was nothing she could do because she made him think that way.
But then again, looking at things now, it is actually worth a try.
Even if she wasn't Damian's love, he still had a small spot for her and it was enough for jasmine.
She smiled and applied gloss on her lips before standing up but she was shocked to see two pierce eyes focused on her body.
"So, is this your everyday routine? God knows why you sit there for over one hour and still not gain weight." The husky voice of the almighty Damian stuck up in her head as she became shut of words.
She looked around and cleared her throat. "I will be up for work" She said, grabbing her bag as she strode to the door.
"Eat and don't wait until night for me." She heard from her back, but she didn't say a word as she bangs the door hard.
She wasn't bothered about that, it was his everyday routine and she wondered why he even told her all the time when she was already adapted to it.
He wouldn't come home at the right time but she would just see him in the morning, sleeping peacefully beside her.
Anyways, it isn't her business to know.
She walked over to the dining table and sipped a little out of the coffee before heading out into her car.
A stressful day ahead.

"Look who is up here" Laurette teased as Jasmine walked into the office with a different aura. "Who said getting married to a Billionaire is bad?" She winked at her, jasmine blushed and dropped her back on the office chair.
"This is your everyday routine, so why would I have this surprise on my face ? It gets tiring to marry someone who doesn't even give a damn about you. He doesn't even acknowledge me as his wife in public, so do you still see that as a life?" Jasmine asked and she kept mute.
The door opened and a pair of eyes peeped in. "But you look blooming everyday. Tell me the secret" The voice said, earning a glare from Jasmine.
"Should we even talk about this, When we have clients to attend to?" Jasmine asked, changing the topic.
"Before we attend to that one h*** of a hole, we should make a deal." Flora said walking into the office while their eyes were fixated on her.
"Oh please, we know what you're up to again. And now it is my turn to say……"
"No???? Jasmine, not again please. "She whined with squeezed eyeball. "We are earning and we should spend it on each other. Besides, why are you bent on keeping half of the money and sharing the remaining 50 percent? You have your big man."
"Gosh, must I hear this 10times a day?"
"Yes you will. We are going to our best restaurant after everything is over. Thank you" Laurette said and stood up without waiting for her reply, she opened the door and they followed.

The DAMNICs company
"Why are you here Lydia?" Nicholas asked as soon as she took her seat In Front of him.
She made a puppy eyes and with the blink of an eye, tears from nowhere started pushing itself out. "Best Baby, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it that way" she apologized with her hands plastered tight on Nic's hand.
Nicholas turned to the other side of the office and slowly smiled. "I told you never to bring up Dorothy's death, but you always have to provoke me and I hate it." He clarified. Lydia cried the most and Nicholas couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and walked over to her seat with his hand on her cheek.
"Settled" He winked at her and the two laughter filled the room.
"You should take me out on a treat, baby. It's been a long time since we had a treat together and it saddens my heart. Or perhaps you're enjoying your marriage this time around?" She asked, earning a little chuckle from him.
"Oh Dia, I can't get enough of you with these words. It's okay, let's get this over with and settle down with a good restaurant." He mentioned it and she beamed with joy.
"Thanks to my man"
Nicholas raised an eyebrow up and she smiled sheepishly. "Aren't you my man?"
He didn't answer her but instead he held her hand as they left the office.
"Domain said she's coming to your house today, did she inform you?" She asked and he turned towards her with a surprising look.
"Domain? My house? She didn't even tell me" He gave a hard look before turning on the engine.

Jasmine Taylor stepped out of her car with an exhausted look, she opened the door and was surprised it still opened.
Didn't he move to work today?
She strode inside and made way to the stairs but was suddenly stopped with the sounds coming out of their kitchen.
"Today was Friday, and a free day for the maids so who could be in there?" She asked with her heels clicking on the tiles, she strode to the kitchen and almost yelled to death.
"Ahh" She sighed tirelessly. "Who are you please?" She asked and with the turn the person made, she got scared.
"And who are you to question why I'm here?" That sticking arrogant tone took her off guard.
She sighed and faked a smile. "If I don't leave here then maybe I wouldn't have gotten into this house"
The little lady laughed. "Oh you leave here? The new slut he brought in?" She mocked and Jasmine raised up her hands in anger.
"You want to slap meeeeee??????"
"I told you not to harm her!!" Ella charged towards Nicholas and landed a hard punch on his face and it turned red instantly.He was taken aback with the punch because he wasn't expecting that at all."And you, why are two traitors here!!" She questioned while the rest of the family strode in."Mr. Nicholas. I hope she isn't a burden to you" Her father asked, holding his hands and he smiled."Not at all, Taylor.""I can't believe you actually asked that question! Taylor." Sarah came in looking disbelief at his statement. "Your daughter is in there because of this man and you think you should ask him if she wasn't a burden? You should be charging at him, questioning his attitude towards her but yet all you could do is ask some silly question." She yelled in anger and he hissed."Woman…be yourself here!"Justin walked towards Nicholas and smiled, it was in a devilish manner. "Do you think she's a punching bag? Or some sort of property because of whatever contract you and father signed?

"I'm always happy" She answered and Lydia sneered."Really? Why are you bent on stealing my image? You're just a visitor and you should behave like one. Stop trying to steal my light." Lydia clenched her jaw in anger. Why can't she just evaporate and not come back. Why's she trying to win her first love over?"I don't know why you are so impulsive. Try to think before splatting out nonsense. He's my hu….""You know nothing!" She interrupted her angrily. "He's mine and mine alone. You can't come from nowhere and decide to be the Queen." Lydia raised her hand up as she moved closer to her. " You're messing with me jasmine and if you won't back down, I will make your life full of mess that you wouldn't be able to deal with." She glanced up at the ceiling and a smile cracked on her face, it was a devilish smile. She smacked her lips and opened the door but she fickled. She turned her back and in a blink of an eye, she pushed jasmine to the wall and lost control.Jasmine moved back with
Nicholas couldn't stop stealing glances from Jasmine. He wanted to have her all alone to herself. He wanted a change of mind. He didn't want to go to the party. He didn't want eyes fetching on her.Their eyes met together and for a minute they stared intensely at each other before immediately turning away when Nicholas realized he was staring too much.Lydia glared angrily at them from the mirror In Front of her. She felt like a third wheel and all she wanted was to make her feel like the third wheel. Now everything backfired.Nicholas learned towards her but she shifted back awkwardly. "Gosh" she whispered to herself and calmed her nerves down.His eyes were inviting and tempting to not resist and her breathing was fast paced.Nicholas held her hand and kissed the back of her hands.She smiled sweetly as the drive continued.Lydia watched in jealousy and resentfulness. She hated her guts. The car stopped and the driver walked outside before Nicholas could open the door.He opened t
Jasmine sprinted into the house, going straight to Nicholas' room and knocked on the door."Who's that?" She inhaled deeply with the voice she heard and the door opened."I'm not here for you. You can call Nicholas out since you're the bodyguard here." She smiled while Lydia glared in disgust."You don't need to see him.""I want to see him orelse I won't attend the party. I don't know what it is about.""It is about me. I'm holding a party and you attending is a must, if not we would have dumped you behind like he used to. So don't feel too special.""Then I'm not interested in any of it." Jasmine announced and decided to walk off but Lydia laughed in a scornful manner."You must think it a choice, it's not a choice, it is a must. This is my party and you must attend." Lydia yelled and ended up earning a glare from Jasmine.Jasmine rolled her eyes. "Then you must be stupid to think I would go inside that room and get changed to step out with you. I'm done with this shit."Nicholas s
Jasmine walked into the loud Bar, she sighted her friends sitting at a corner of the place.She walked over to them as they raised their eyes towards her with a smile."Jasmine I'm sorry." Laurette pleaded with puppy eyes and she scoffed."That what you say all the time and at the end you would fail my trust again. I don't like it!" She nagged and they hugged each other."I'm sorry he hurt you. I'm happy you're saved now, we should file a report. What do you think?" Jasmine asked, and she examined Laurette's neck and hands."He really is a bastard."Flora added with a sigh. "Even if we are to file a report to the cops, that wouldn't stop him from doing his worst. All we need to do is to support her and try to be beside her till we catch the so-called Michael. He's an asshole."Jasmine sighed. "Are you okay?" Flora asked, her eyes fixated on jasmine attitude."I'm tired." She said and started crying, shocking them."Baby girl, what's wrong?" They asked, sitting close to her."Things ar
