Jasmine

The walls felt like they were closing in on me, and all the voices turned into static noise. Was there really footage from that night? The question plagued my mind as their murmurings continued.

I blinked really hard, trying to ground myself and stay in the moment. It took everything inside me not to look at Galvin because it would one way or the other tip anyone off, since they keep staring at me like a hawk.

“I can’t believe someone would be as clumsy as tipping over the entire shelf. One of the waiters had said he saw a masked male and later on a female walking out of the staff quarters…” Cashmere added.

“And it's really worth ten million?” my mother’s voice came.

“The invoice is still coming in, but that's the total so far,” Cashmere responded.

“Do you think it was two people getting in on it?” Audrey chuckled. “I can imagine them running away from your cameras, I mean… give people some breathing space, Cash. I felt like I was attending a state's gala.”

    JasmineI thought after everything I had been through with Edwin, I knew what pain was, and nothing could come remotely close to that. But I was wrong. I had confused night for day, and for the past twenty-four hours, I hadn’t left my room. My lips felt bruised and swollen from how passionate the kiss was. I could still feel the ghost of his touch on my neck, my jaw, and even faintly on my breast. My core still burned from the intensity of him, and God…I still wanted him. Who am I kidding? I kept holding the tears back as I lay naked on the bed facing the ceiling. Those few minutes with Galvin kept replaying in my mind like it was stuck on repeat. I had left the wine cellar that night, but still hid down there watching him pass and pretend to be in a happy marriage with the woman who planned to kill him. Not only was my heart heavy, and I felt like I was carrying a ton of weight pulling me down, but I was also upset, furious even. Why didn’t he refuse? Why would he agree so easil

    Jasmine“What?” I spat back, the words slipping out of me defensively. Being called ‘That’ sounded like an insult, and it made me feel tethered back to Edwin. “Leave us,” he ordered the waiter, who only nodded and lowered his head as he walked past me. I paid no attention to him; my gaze was fixed on Galvin. I heard the large door shriek as it closed shut, leaving us both inside. Although I couldn’t quite see his eyes over the flickering, dim light and his mask, I could tell something had changed between us. He slowly took off his mask and brushed his fingers over his hair, slicking them back as he exhaled deeply. “If you aren’t stalking me, then how did you find your way down to this particular cellar at this particular time?” he asked coldly, taking a step forward. “You want me to believe it's a coincidence?” My heart hammered in my chest. “W… what are you talking about?” I stuttered, clenching my fist and refusing to step back. He walked until he was standing right in front

    JasmineI hated every moment of it. Holding Edwin’s hand. The entire paparazzi. Seeing Galvin’s hand wrapped around Cashmere, I knew what she planned to do to him. I know Cashmere is a really proud person, but it didn’t make me feel less guilty about how I felt towards Galvin. But after what I saw, my mind somehow vindicated the urges I had, and I hated myself more for it. I could feel the heat rising to my throat as though all I had been keeping inside me just wanted to explode. I could barely breathe, and my heart thundered heavily in my chest. Everything seemed to fade around me. I clenched my fist, and it only tightened around Edwin’s palm, which snapped me out of my mental spiral. I only now realised I had been holding his hand for longer than I intended, and I yanked my hand away as if he would brand me if I held him any longer. We were close to the bar where there were fewer crowds, as everyone seemed busy looking for what to eat or drink, aside from the alcohol. “You wan

    Galvin **Thanksgiving Night.**“Was it really necessary to invite the whole town’s elite and their families, Cash?” I asked, as Cashmere adjusted my tie. Just like every day, we become the perfect couple when there’s a crowd, and here we are standing at the entrance of the ballroom, greeting every couple who walks in. She had changed the Thanksgiving ball to a masked theme at the last minute. And when it came to Cashmere, even the smallest alteration carried a hidden agenda. I knew I had to buckle up. Who knows what she’s up to this time? There were large cameras everywhere and blinding flashes of light as they took pictures. I thought coming to the small town of Oakridge, I would be free of the press, but Cashmere lived for the publicity. “What do you mean, Bear? We’re like gods, and the town press are already here to see the family Galvin Walton is married into,” she breathed, forcing a smile and turning to stand beside me as the next couple walked in with their kids. “I can’t

    Jasmine. “This is my wife, Jasmine Monroe. The Angel I’ve been telling you about,” Edwin said, wrapping his arms possessively around my waist as he introduced me to Galvin. The surrounding air thickened instantly. I flinched from the shock of his gesture, not even his words. My gaze met Galvin’s, and he forced a smile and nodded, but his grip tightened around the wine glass, and I saw his left eye twitch. But before I could pull his hands off my waist, Cashmere spoke. “Wife?” she asked, completely amused. “Well, there's no need for further introduction… We’ll get to know each other better soon,” she added before clapping twice. The sound of her palm echoed through the ballroom, and the orchestra ran to their instruments. “The Thanksgiving ball is this evening, but let’s loosen up now. I need everyone to move perfectly. We have a reputation to protect,” she said with a smile before turning to face Galvin and throwing her hands over his shoulders. And when she did, his gaze lower
