I scoffed from the pain I felt and wished she had just agreed to love me. But that would be hard for her. I didn't want to put any pressure on her and somehow it was my fault for pursuing her even when I knew her heart was with another man."I must have been delusional to think that we would wake up if I kept trying. I thought that with time you would come to love me but that was a lie to myself," I muttered stating the ugly truth. I could see the guilt and concern she had for me on her face and I felt sorry that I had been a burden to her.The tears that brimmed in my eyes went back on its own because it would be so cruel of me to cry In Front of her.I was deeply in love with her but my love was unrequited. "I know you are still in love with Asphalt and I am sorry for making it difficult for you to decide. But I want you to know that I will support you till the very end. That way, I can just be myself for loving you," I told her and she broke down in tears."I am so sorry that I coul
Janet's POV"I am sorry for everything I said and did to you. Please don't go," she remained cooled with a little life in her as I could feel the beat of her heart as I hugged her tight.She had saved in the cruelest manner and it was all my fault for not listening to her when necessary.By the time we arrived at the hospital, I had contacted some doctors that I knew who attended her immediately."Please hold Jasmine," I said as she was rolled into the emergency unit. Her breath was now slow yet she reached out her hand to hold my face."I am sorry that I had to do this to you but I just want you to know that I have always loved you," she managed to say and my world paused. I fell to the ground as the medical team continued their journey into the ward. I had stupidly neglected her all this while when she was the only one that truly loved me. Mrs Margaret was right this whole time and now that she was at the brick of death was the only time I realized my foolishness. All this time my
Asphalt pov"Oh, you are the Asphalt she always talked about. I am glad that you finally came to your Senses but it took too long. My sweet pearl always told me about you regardless of the way you treated her. She truly loved you to the extent that it hurt me to see her suffer because of you. I won't blame you for anything because I, myself, wronged her. Please, I will leave my child in your hands because she believes in you. I know that it will be hard for you to forgive yourself for what you did but Jasmine is not the kind to bear grudges. If she loves you then you have to stop dwelling on your regrets. That way you and her can live peacefully. And grandfather, I want to thank you for holding on to my daughter. I wish I could stay longer but I have to make up for the things I missed in my daughter's life. Please do take care of her. I will be back once I am done," she bowed her head completely leaving her daughter to us.My grandfather saw her out of the hospital since he too had som
Jasmine's POVHis insistent mouth parted my tired lips, sending chills down my spine and evoking the wildest sensations. I was tired and exhausted but yet I moaned at his every touch, it was like he had a way of renewing his energy. He had sex with me three times already tonight and this was the fourth one, I wanted to sleep but I wouldn't dare make a fool of him by sleeping off while he lay over me.For the fourth time, I let him thrust as hard as he wanted as I let the tears that I had been holding back fall. I was sore and I hadn't slept throughout the night because of his persistent desires. This was my life as Mrs Levine. “ You can sleep in today, it's not like you're going to work or anything,” I watched him button up as he stood in front of a mirror. It was already day, I had barely slept a wink and looked like I was quarter to die but here he was as energetic as he was on bed.“ Alright,” I muttered as I fondled with my fingers nervously. I had been meaning to ask him for th
Jasmine's POV“ I can't believe you're not pregnant yet!” He banged his clenched fist against the dining table as the array of chairs separated us. I for once was glad that I was sitting at the other end, it was technically my life saver right now. He threw the test results aside in anger.“ There's no need to be mad, it's just been a few months since we got married. It's not abnormal for concep...,” I mumbled in fear.“ Mrs Margaret, from now on make sure Jasmine doesn't eat any junk food. Feed her with mostly fruits and vegetables and don't forget to make her drink low-fat butternut squash bisque,” he instructed.“ You can't do that to...,” I sealed my lips at his intense glare. He knew I loved junk food and now he was going to take everything out. Warm tears built up in my ears with some escaping and flowing freely down my cheeks.“ Sir, don't you think you're being too... extreme?” Mrs. Margaret spoke up for me even though she filtered and weighed her words. Asphalt treated Mrs Ma
Janet's POVI lay on my bed with my stomach bearing all my weight as I scrolled through my phone. There was a message from an unknown number, who could it be? Do you have any idea how long I've looked for you? I'm yet to understand the reason why you had to run away but in any case, I need you to come back home. Only the thought of you in another man's arms pisses me off. Oh, and by the way, Jasmine is pregnant with my kids but it doesn't matter, the moment you come you'll still take your place as Mrs. Levine. Just take it like she's your surrogate, she can have our kids and you don't have to worry about losing your figure since it's essential for you as a model. I'll be waiting for your return and let me give a quick warning, you can't run away from me so don't even think about it. I'm going to make sure you come crawling back.It was Asphalt, was this supposed to be a threat? And why was he so obsessed with me? Of c
Jasmine's POVThere seemed to be a glimpse of hope, Asphalt has been treating me better lately. Not that his level of care changed but he was more responsive to my moods and attitudes and he's been careful around me. Even though, I knew that it was all because of my pregnancy, it still felt good whenever he caressed my now bulging belly. I was nearly due and everyday seemed to get tougher by the moment since I wasn't carrying one but two.I flipped through the baby guide book he had bought for me as I listened to slow, graceful music such that the babies would love but now I had started tovett hungry. My cravings had started again like I was still in my first trimester.Getting up, I stood in front of the full mirror in the room, analysing the bulge of my stomach. Sometimes I get amazed at how much my stomach has stretched due to pregnancy. As I walked down the stairs, I realized that I had forgotten something very important. I wasn't just nearly due but my due date was today. As it f
Janet's POV"I'm not quite satisfied with this necklace; it's lovely, but it doesn't quite match my worth," I remarked with a hint of disappointment in my voice."That's perfectly understandable. What type of necklace are you interested in, ma'am?" the sales associate inquired politely."I'd like something...""You know what, refresh my memory, how much did you mention it costs?" I asked, my brow furrowing in mild irritation."$1,850, ma'am," the sales associate replied, trying to maintain a professional demeanor."Oh please, just forget about it." I said, rolling my eyes and shaking my head in disapproval. "What did you say that one's price is again?," I asked, pointing to a red ruby necklace that caught my eyes.“Oh my gosh, Janet that would suit you so much,"“I'm so jealous of you right now, I wish I could be you,"“Stop dreaming, Janet is too beautiful to be you," My friends praised me since it was my wedding preparation. I invited them over to help me select the most expensive
