Jasmine's pov The officers sat opposite us, their notes, pen and recorder ready to take ma Gloria's testimony. "Mrs O'Briens, are you ready for us?" One of the officer asked.Ma Gloria took a deep breath and nodded, though she seemed a little bit nervous."Alright, let's start with.. who's Mr Roman to you?" The officer asked."He's.. he's.. my stepfather"Who's this Mr Roman everyone is talking about? How come I don't seem to know him? Or maybe I haven't seem him before."Your stepfather...." the officer trailed off and jotted down in his note, then lifted his head."... can you tell us about your relationship with him?" He asked.Ma Gloria nodded, she cradled Davis whom she's still carrying in her arms.. she had refused to lay him down."My mom got married to Mr Roman three years after my dad died, she took along with her, my sister and I.. Grace"So.. it's true, doctor Grace is truly her sister."Roman already has a daughter who's the same age as I...""Sorry to cut you, Mrs O'Br
Adele's pov I'm feeling so nervous right now, it's as if I'm sitting for an interview.Mr and Mrs Evans sat on a love sit opposite us, another gorgeous lady who look a lot like Mrs Evans...sat on a sofa next to them.She folded her arms on her chest and stared at me attentively, her stare is giving me goosebumps."So...tell us truthfully, is your father a businessman?" Mr Evans asked.I bite my lower lip, swallowed the nervous lump in my throat and shook my head."No" I answered. "He was a farmer"It's better I tell him the truth now, I can't bear the repercussions if he finds out I lied later...rich people are always powerful."Was?" He tilted his head slightly."Yes, sir...he died last year, he suffered lung cancer" I said. Mr Evans nodded, he exchanged a knowing look with his wife and her lips curved in a smile.. or smirk.. I don't know.I'm too nervous."What about you? Which of the universities did you attend?"His question made my blood ran cold, will he chase me out if I told
Jasmine's pov The next morning..."Is it really necessary for you guys to go there?" Adele asked.My eyes flicked towards Peter who's carrying our bags to the car, then sighed. "Yeah.."She frowned at the bags Peter's carrying, then took my hands in hers and pouted."Why are y'all taking so much bags with you? Do you plan on settling there already?"I frowned slightly, then burst into a brief laugh."Adele, we might stay for some days.. you're making it sound like I'm abandoning you""Are you not?" she asked."You're just being overly dramatic" I told her.Just then we heard a knock on the door, I wanted to go get it but Adele told me not to bother.Her flicked to my stomach and she smiled, she pushed me onto a sofa and made me sit down."You should take care of yourself now" she said, her eyes still on my stomach.I rolled my eyeballs."I told you guys, this might just be a false alarm" Honestly, I didn't want anyone to find out about this just yet, because it might be a false ala
Chicago police department!After our flight, which lasted for 3hours.. we arrived at Chicago.Peter sent our bags to Thanatos penthouse, while the rest of us decided to call at the police station. Currently, we're listening to the recorded conversation.But while this is going on, an old man whom I just got to know as Mr Roman, is glaring daggers at ma Gloria."Ahem!" An officer cleared his throat. "Mr Roman, what do you have to say about this? Did you had this conversation?" He asked the old man.Mr Roman simply glared at ma Gloria and scoffed, he refused to speak a word."I'll take your silence as a yes...""Don't waste your breath, I know you're gonna send my case to the court.. but first, I want to see my grandson" Mr Roman said.His grandson? That should be Thana's stepbrother... I looked around but there's no unfamiliar face here, it's just us."Grandfather, I'm here!" An unfamiliar voice spoke from the hallway.I turned and waited until he walked into the office or interrog
Jasmine's pov Three weeks later"Baby, it's gonna be fine""But...""It's fine, we're just here for a normal check up" Thana told me.Ok, this is what is happening right now...We've had peaceful days, but my health kept declining... the dizziness.. sudden cold.. vomiting and stuff increased. Thana's been trying to get me to the hospital for check ups, but I kept refusing.But finally, he succeeded in dragging me to the hospital, now entering the doctor's office (aunt Grace) is now a problem. I sighed."I'm gonna be here with you, also, it's just gonna take five minutes and we'll be done" he said.I rolled my eyeballs at his words, he's talking as if he's the doctor.. what a sweet talker."Let's go" I said. He nodded and pushed the door opened, then made way for me to go in and he followed after me."Aunt" I called aunt Grace when we fully entered her office.She closed the file she was reading and lifted her head.. she broke into a full smile when she realized it's me."Jasmine,
Jasmine''s pov Mexico city... 17th august, 2016!A smile played on my lips, as I stared at the sheet of paper in my hands."Congratulations, you're eight weeks pregnant, miss Reinle!" The doctor said."Thank you, doctor" I replied.My eyes scanned the result one more time, I'm pregnant.. I'm soon going to be a mother.Though, I'm just 18 but I'm happy to be a mother, because my boyfriend is very responsible.He's not like those shitty guys, that'll abandon their girls because she's pregnant.I don't feel any regrets, he's promised to marry me after he graduates and I'm sure he'd be happy to hear this news!"Miss Reinle, I'm not trying to be a busybody, but I'd advise you don't keep this pregnancy" the doctor said.I stopped smiling immediately he said that, I lifted my head."Not keep this pregnancy?" He nodded. "Why?" I asked."Based on what I noticed, your body isn't ready to be a mother yet"I just stared at him silently. Does he knows what he's saying? My body isn't ready to
Jasmine''s pov "What is wrong with you?! You think the life is easy?! Do you know how hard I worked to achieve all this?! And you want to damage my reputation just like this?!" My dad yelled.This is all he's being doing since I got back, his reputation matters to him and he values it more than my sister and I."You imbecile! You're a disgrace to this family! You don't deserve to be a Reinle!"My body is shaking, I can feel my anger building up, I want to explode. I don't even know what I did yet, he's just busy cursing me."I don't know how I got a rebellious daughter like you!""What did I do this time?" I asked.My eyes met my sister's gaze and she shook her head, silently telling me not to argue with our father."She doesn't even know what she's done!" Dad said."I don't know, you tell me"He pointed at my sister."Your sister is getting married next week! Our company is going bankrupt and she's getting married to save it.. but you what are you doing?!"Right, he just reminded me
Jasmine''s pov *The number you're trying to reach is currently out of coverage. Please try....*I angrily disconnected the call, this is the 12th time I'm redialing Thanatos number.. and the automated voice kept saying the same thing."Where are you, Thanatos?" I asked nobody.I shiver and squatted in a corner as the cold breeze blew past me, soon, rain drops started falling.People began running about, looking for a place to take shelter from the rain.I'm wearing light clothes, I forgot to check the weather today, I would have took some thick clothes with me.It didn't take long for the rain to started falling heavily, I brought my knees to my chest and hugged myself to keep warm.***I didn't know how long I slept, but it's still raining when I woke up. I yawned.My eyes moved to the door, it's still locked and I sighed.. my stomach growled as I felt the worms eating my flesh.I'm very hungry now, why isn't Thanatos back yet?Clark's words replayed in my head...*if I were you, I'd
