"You mean you're getting married and I'm just getting to know now? Come on Nic" She angrily dropped her bag on the table Infront of him which startled him a little.
I won’t say startle but he expected her to react that way, his hunch tells him not she was more than angry so he decided to solve it the easiest way.
"Carlos" he called and Carlos immediately understood the meaning, he stood up and walked out of the office with a loud thud.
Nicholas glared over to the ranting tone of Lydia Clyde with raised eyebrows. "Ate you going to calm your nerves down or you keep shouting?" He asked her, earning a shocking glare from her.
"Me?" She gasped and he just sighed walking over to her.
"I don't expect you to be like this Baby doll" he placed his hands on her shoulder but she brushed it away with fierce eyes.
"So you tell me to keep shouting? Your best friend? Wait, isn't this new to me? You've been dating at my back while you keep decieving yourself that you've no one."
Nicholas closed his eyes in frustration. "Calm your nerves down and hear me out. You know me well before now that I would never keep some….."
"So you getting married tomorrow isn't part of it? Because I can't hear this from your friend!!!" She chirped in angrily.
" That's because you eavesdrop on our words. If you had actually opened the door with no bad thoughts in mind then I would have told you myself and you wouldn't have even barged in with great force like that. This marriage thing is all fake and I less expected this reaction from you because you know I don't have anyone beside you." He ended and her angril face subsided.
"I'm just getting worried about your being and I can't watch you get heartbroken just like those fool did after Dorathy's de……." Nicholas closed his eyes in pain and shook his head interrupting her.
"No no no no….I have warned you not to talk about her anymore! Please leave" He ordered and she frowned.
"I didn't mean to open the…….."
"I said LEAVEE!! Do I have to repeat myself?" He yelled and she flinched before taking her bag.
"But…..
"Leave" Nicholas warned again and she reluctantly opened the door and rushed outside.
She knew Nicholas anger was like Water and fire and he was this fire that no amount of water can quench easily.
After she was out, Nicholas picked up his phone and dialed a number.
The call made a second ring and then the person at the other end took the call.
"Good day, this is Jasmine Taylor on the call. I may help you."
Nicholas hissed with rolled eyes. "And who said we don't know your name? Enough of your talks young lady. Get ready, my driver is coming to pick you up."
"What?"
"Yes, you're getting a wedding dress for tomorrow, you can't be a disgrace to me or my family." He coldly said and the voice from the other end gasped at his choice of words.
"Who said I can't afford a dress?"
Nicholas sighed and licked his lips. "Look here young lady, you would do as I say and stop questioning my authorities. Get ready before the driver gets there or they will get you ready." He threatened and smirked. "And please, be in your best dress. The one you wore this morning is a mess. " He mocked and her eyes widened.
"What??"
Before she could say another word, he ended the call and muttered.
"I will make your life a living hell. You wait and see".

In the FLJ's Mansion, jasmine angrily foamed around the house.
"Can you believe he insulted me with my clothes!" She sucked on her teeth and bit on her lips. "He said I couldn't afford a wedding dress!"
"What???" The two friends yelled at the same time.
"He must really have that gut! Such a rude jerk" Laurette rolled her eyes in irritation and made her way to sit.
"You should get ready before something else happ…"
"No…never. I won't be going out with the stupid……"
"But that's what your family wants and you can't be against your parents' ' Flora chirped in and sighed. " You told your parents you've someone who's the love of your life, but still they don't give a damn about it. So what else could work out? Definitely they want what is best for you. In as much I don't think Nicholas is the best man for you."
Deep silence eloped the room as they all stood there watching each other's expression before a loud honk interrupted them.
"Guess the rider is here."Laurette announced and she just scoffed while walking up the stairs.
"I'm taking my time, and if the so-called rider cannot wait, then he should be on his way."Jasmine nonchalantly said as she slammed her room door hard to their ears.
"Really Jasmine? Really? You can't do this when we have no other choice. If you can elope we would have done that for you……" Flora couldn't finish her statement when the both saw the door flung open.
"She doesn't have a choice because I would find her either way. Whether you escape or…. whatever plans you've in your dumb head's." The thick voice of the arrogant Nicholas Damian sent them in shivers.
They scratched their hairs anxiously. "M….Mr… ni…Nicholas Damian" Flora stuttered in great fear as she pinched herself.
"Di….we didn't know you were the one honking at the gate." Laurette defended and he smirked in a devilish manner.
"I wasn't, it was my rider."
The statement alone killed their tone down.
"Girls, I'm done. Can you come rate me?" Jasmine's calm voice brought them back to reality as they lost words to say.
"You guys won't say a thing?" She asked angrily walking out of her room to the stairs but her eyes widened in shock.
"Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".
"You may now kiss the bride" Those words alone were enough to spike the hatred she had for him. She disgustedly dulge her lips from him and he ended up kissing her cheeks.He made a displeased look and angrily glared at her.Since the beginning of this wedding thing, She couldn't call this a definition of a beautiful wedding because all of this sucks. Perhaps because she wasn’t in love with him and was forced to get married to him, maybe that was why she felt so agitated and couldn’t enjoy the presence of the wedding.After the priest's speech again, everything ended and She took her way out of the not too crowded hall to the corner of the church.She made her way into the restroom In Front of her, as she entered another leg walked in and she got frightened immediately turning her back."God" she sighed when she saw who it was. " Why are you sneaking up on me?" She yelled agitatedly and he snickered."Oh, I'm sneaking up on you? Listen and listen good jasmine or whatever you call your
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 alreadyThere 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 arou
"What going on here?" Nicholas ask as he strode forward to the kitchen. Jasmine eyes were now turned to Nicholas with his fierce eyes."She wanted to slap me!!!" The lady screamed earning sighs from Nicholas."Domain, you could have called before coming in. Privacy is needed in here" He stated which took jasmine by surprise.She looked over at him with a surprised gaze."Moreover she's my wife and you should know that" he declared with a curvy smile and a walk to Domain side, he held her hand and face Jasmine who was was still trying to hide her blushing face."Jasmine, this is Domain my sister and Domain this is my wife."He introduced and she hissed."I can't believe you could moved on so quickly. I didn't expect this from you Nic!" She yelled angrily, disappointment laced in her tone.Jasmine gaze turned into a curious gaze."Domain, don't start this here" he warned but she just hissed and stride outside to pick her bag."I shouldn't start? Nic, you're a betrayer" She took her bag a
"The contract got rejected" Carl bowed as he reported to his boss Nicholas.Mr.Nicholas eyes turned red instantly. "Why was it rejected?" He asked his secretary and he sighed."To my research, someone else got the contract before us with the same presentation and it was said our contract was fabricated." Carl declared, Nicholas went dumbfounded."What?? Fabricated? How?" He asked, as he flared up."Our works, match each other and I'm afraid we now have a rival." "What do you mean!? Rival? He or she must really have gut. They have an informat here then." Nicholas ruffled his hair anxiously, he couldn't believe his ears. Rival? They even got his works before he could submit to his client.What the heck is going on!"You can leave " he instructed and Carl raised his head about to say something."I said GET OUTT"He yelled agitatedly and he rushed out.This must not be happening to me now!He picked up his call and dialed a number. "Your suspicious were right. You can start" He declared,
Jasmine calmly walked inside but was stopped by an enraging voice."Where are you coming from?" The husky hard voice asked and she flinched."What do you do? Any opportunity given to you, you use it with your concubines. I left home yesterday and you took turns and went your own way too." Nicholas fired and she gasped in shock with his statement.Nicholas was angry, he didn't get a contract yesterday and it was because of her."No, it's not what you think," She said in a defensive manner."Oh, see who's trying to deny! Sluts everywhere. The main reasons I will never be by your side. I'm sure you don't go to work all the time. Slut"He gave a disgusted look and she rolled her eyes."I'm a slut now?" Jasmine said in sarcasm and clapped her hands. " You went out everyday and claimed you're at work?""That none of your business" Nicholas yelled and she laughed sarcastically."Then I think it is none of your business too…and you don't have the right to call me names. In r……"Babyyyyyyy"A ti
"Ahhhhhhh" She yelled as tears streamed down her makeup face. She held her cheek in pain.That was it, he was a violence person and didn't take no for an answer. "If you want thing's to be fine, go in there, pack your things and be the lead.""What?" "I'm sure your ears are working perfectly.""Michael, this is uncalled for. You can't just walk in here, say shit about me and even raise your hands on me. Release or not released you deserve every single thing that comes your way. This is my house and this is my life. I have the right to do whatever I want with it.Do you know, I still regretted trying to live a beautiful life after my company was ready. We decided to take a break in everything but you ended up using me as your punching bag. You still have the right to raise that hand on me." She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply."I'm done with everything about you. Kindly leave." She said again but this time he was more annoyed than earlier. He walked towards her and grabbed her ne
A soft knock on the door made Lydia glared up. "I'm not expecting anyone. Am I?" She stood up and walked over to the door.She opened the door and frowned when she saw who it was. "Who are you?" She asked and the young lady smiled."I don't know you either but I'm here to see Jasmine." The young lady replied, Lydia rolled her eyes at her in disbelief."And you are?""She's my sister. Oops, let me save you the stress. I'm Ella." She said with a beautiful smile."Really? You shouldn't save me the stress but yourself. Is this some family house that you can come in at any time? Are you jobless like your sister?" She questioned with a sneer and Ella gasped."Who are you? You don't have the right to insult my sister and our family. This family is older than you and I don't know who you are, but you're the jobless one here. If you would excuse me." She pushed her out of the way and made strode inside, leaving Lydia in disbelief."Come here" She yelled in anger as she pushed Ella back to her.
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
