"I don't understand why you can't stop all this, no one is going to hurt you," Alexander tried to explain that night, he looked confused. That was one of the few times she had seen him show any emotion. Jasmine Castor tried her best to stay away from her toxic family after everything that happened few years back but they refused to stay away. They tormented her, they made her come back until she could run away no more. After being asked to do an almost impossible task that would lead to her stepfather getting his desired position, Jasmine would run into her stepbrother. The one she truly dreaded. "I have always considered you as a brother," She tried to explain to him. "You didn't consider me as a brother before, heck you confessed you don't even feel like a Castor." Alexander Castor was the bad sheep of his family, he did whatever he wanted and no one could stop him. No one questioned him except this infuriating girl he called his stepsister. When fate brings them back together, Alexander would try his best to get her to stop whatever she wanted to do for the family. Even at the cost of his reputation.
View MoreJasmine."I feel so stupid," I muttered onto Alexander's chest as I clutched onto him like he was life itself.He didn't say anything during the first half of my heavy sobbing and self hate, just kept rubbing on my back and making sure I was okay, whispering sweet nothings into my ear that were sure to make me have that one tiny laugh in-between sobs.But when he was ready to say something, I couldn't stop him."Yes, you were very stupid Jasmine," For some reason, his agreement on the subject seemed to hurt even worse than what I had done.He held unto my chin and raised it up so I had no other choice than to stare into those gorgeous eyes of his."You were very stupid, careless and irrational, thinking you can do anything on your own. You're lucky you weren't harmed even worse than this or worse murdered," Once he started, it was almost like he couldn't stop, "Everyone was worried about you, you weren't answering calls or replying texts. And when you finally decided to do so, you sen
Jasmine.Everything was super confusing at this point. I had no idea my dad had any family members because we did not talk about them.I had seen my mom's parents before they died. But my dad, none.So here I was, with my dad's brother. A man I had swam with and he had helped Charles and Mr Warner kidnap me."So you're a good guy?" I asked once I found my voice.He laughed at that, "Is this some sort of television program, there are no good guys or bad guys because everyone is good in their books and bad in others," He spoke like it was common knowledge, "I am just the guy that helped your mom and boyfriend rescue you."My boyfriend. That simple word made my heart skip a beat. I would have stood up from that chair so I could find him if not for the fact that I was really interested in that story."You're also my uncle," I said in acknowledgement of the story my mom just told me.He nodded, the shadow of a smile never leaving his lips, "I am also your uncle and the man that made sure A
Jasmine.My head felt like it had been split open and then sewn shut after a while. All that sunlight streaming in from the windows were not helping too.I had no information on my location but this time, I woke up in a bed and my hand wasn't cuffed to anywhere. My mouth was dry and my lips crusted, going out of this room which felt like my safe haven because no one was here taunting me felt like the worse thing to do.But I had to do it. I had to check if I had any chance of escaping or perhaps getting a text to Alexander.Something that would help my situation.The first thing I realized was that I was in a penthouse. I could see the entire city from where I stood close to the window and man, did that bright light almost blind my eyes.Another thing I noticed was the fact that the door was slightly open. Was it a sign that I was given the opportunity to escape.I had barely got a few steps in when I noticed someone was behind me."You're awake," The person said once I stopped walkin
Jasmine.They had to physically pull me away from Charles body because I was ready to kill him there and then."You fucking killed my father, I'm going to fucking kill you" I pulled and trashed around against whoever held me away from Charles.The old man had the nerve not to look fucking scared, though his knee was quickly turning red as blood gathered there. He had the audacity to smile while my dad was six feet under.He scoffed, wincing a bit due to the pain while Mr Warner rushed to the refrigerator to get an icepack for him."Your mom helped me do it, I don't see you attacking her," He muttered under his breath but loud enough for everyone in the room to hear him.I wished I could punch him in the eye at this moment.I sneered at him, "Leave my mom's name out of your mind, you slimy bastard," I could not believe my mom helped this man to kill my dad and then got married to him. This slimy disgusting man that had no right to even father a child, yet he had the opportunity to fat
Jasmine's point of viewThe call came before he could lay his hands on me and he excused himself out of the room.The icky feeling of him being all over me from earlier was still there though.And when he came back, the expression on his face was enough to make me know that everything was not peachy at the moment.I picked up my phone, ready to use it as a point of defense if he tried anything."What did you do bitch?" He smacked me across the face, "You've ruined everything for me, everything," Another smack before I could escape from the side of the bed.Holding my cheek, I waved my hand and legs around, satisfied when the phone smacked him hard on the head. And despite the fact that all I had on was a bathrobe, I ran out of that room as fast as I could, grateful for the fact that Mr Warner was too angry to lock the door.I was almost at the front desk when a man dressed like a spy in a badly written movie held unto my arm, dragging me backwards."Help," I managed to shout out befor
Alexander.She left.Like a fucking coward, she escaped at the dead of the night when I was sleeping and went with that bastard to the heaven knows where.She even left a note. One I didn't get to read because of Gia and a friend of Jasmine's emergence into the case when I first saw it and then I got too mad to look at it when they told me what she did."I told you she was going to do something reckless and you blew it, you fucking blew it," The tiny girl she worked with in Ambrose Warner's office kept on saying as she paced around my living room.She had sent multiple messages to Jasmine's cell and received no reply yet we all knew Jasmine was getting them because it kept on showing delivered.My sweet little flower. What had she gotten herself into?Gia on the other hand was at the other end of the room, looking for clues on where Jasmine might have been dragged off to."I can't believe she would risk herself like that without even telling me the truth," Ruby continued, "She couldn'
Jasmine.Cocaine. This people were talking about drugs."The silly boy wants protection in exchange for knowledge about how the other group and how they operate," The quiet dude scoffed like the thought offended him deeply.This wasn't what Charles had in mind when he sent me for this mission. This was something that would make the entire situation go wrongly if this got out.They would be arrested.Mr Warner laughed, "Protection for something that we could get ourselves, we just need to get any sort of leverage against them and we're set."I felt so insignificant at this point as they talked about this little crime they had going on. If this got reported, would I be considered as an accomplice?Would I be arrested?Perhaps I should have stayed with Alexander and forget about all this. Find a middle ground where Amanda would have the opportunity to get closer to her brother.One of the men that had been quiet all this while stood up, paced around the empty space for a while and then e
Jasmine.I enjoyed watching Alexander sleep, it was almost like watching a baby because of how vulnerable he was at that point.His long lashes fluttered a bit, touching his cheekbones. One of the lashes was a bit askew and I almost touched him just to straighten it. His lips looked so kissable.If he wasn't so deep in sleep, he would probably chuckle and talk in that deep morning voice that seemed to send tingles up my spine and set my panties in a twist.I escaped from the house in the dead of the night, few hours after the helicopter brought us back to the city, few hours after I had my last mind-blowing sex with Alexander and few hours after I finally made my decision.I left a handwritten letter to soften the blow of my departure. My home felt like it wasn't even mine anymore since I spent a lot of time at Alexander's and most of my things were there. Would he have them shipped back to me or perhaps burnt them so he would have no excuse to talk to me again.Everything I needed f
Jasmine.We were alone when he asked me to be his girlfriend, something I was extremely grateful for.And even with my emotions all over the place, I was able to set my face in a mask of happiness before turning towards Alexander."I would never have mistaken you for a romantic person Alexander," I screamed out as I rushed forward to give him a hug, basking in the warmth his body gave me.And the fact that I still had a few seconds to keep myself in check.He placed his hand on the lower part of my back and rested his chin on my head. This was a safe space for us.If someone had told me earlier this year that Alexander would ask me to be his girlfriend, I would have spat in his eye and called him a fraud. I didn't even have plans on ever seeing the mother fucker again. Yet, here we were."So I guess that's a yes," Alexander said the moment I freed myself from his body.A yes to Alexander would solve all my issues.I nodded my head rapidly then rose on my tiptoes to give him a kiss, "Y
