"No-No... Please..." A woman lying on the operating table begged the man standing next to another table while preparing the surgical tools but the man seems to hear nothing! The woman tried to move but she can't for her hands and feet were tied up tightly. "P-Please, have mercy, don't do this, please..." the woman continued to beg as tears roll down from the corners of her eyes. "I have a child, and she's still young, I am the only family she had..." the woman said, still in a pleading voice. "My client tried to ask you in a nice way but you refused," the man said. He was wearing a hairnet, surgical mask, surgical gloves, and green clothes, just like what doctors wear whenever they do a surgery. "I'm sorry...Please let me go, I can't do this. I am afraid of the outcome if I continue with this," the woman replied in tears. All she has in mind right now is her daughter! She knew she must be waiting for her to come home right now. She can
"What were you thinking, Officer Jones?!" "Why did you attack and arrest an innocent man?!" Jasmine just lowered her head as she accept the scolding from her senior officer, Mr. Adolfo Cua. She was inside his office and was currently being questioned by him as to how she did such a bad job on arresting the wrong person and even beating him up! "I'm sorry, sir," it was the only word that Jasmine was able to say. It still won't help if she reasons for herself anyway! "I'm sorry?!" Senior Officer Cua repeated, " Do you even know who that man is?" he continued. "No, sir," Jasmine answered honestly, still lowering her head. She couldn't look at him because she knew she was at fault. She only arrested an innocent person and worst...She even beat him up! Senior Officer Cua got up from his seat violently, " What?! You don't know him?!" he blurted out in disbelief. Jasmine really doesn't have any idea who that man was! All she t
Jasmine stood in front of the ten-story building. She is now outside the Wellness International Pharma to see Colton Olivares and try to convince him to take back the complaint against her. She wasn't sure if she could succeed but she will still try. This is the last option she has. Senior Officer Cua was right. She couldn't fight back against Colton Olivares if he decides to use his influence to make her get dismissed from service. This world is about money after all! Jasmine walks to the entrance and was stopped by the guard, " Good morning, ma'am, may I see your identification card, please?" the guard asked politely. Jasmine stopped in her track and she looked at the guard, " Oh, yes!" she said as she opened her sling bag and took her ID. '"Why are you here for, ma'am?" the guard asked after he checks her ID. "I came to see, Mr. Olivares," Jasmine replied. "Do you have an appointment with him, ma'am?" the guard asked again.
"Marry me then," Jasmine's mind went blank when she heard Colton's response. She even thought that she just misheard it! "W-What did you just say?" she asked in confusion. "I said, marry me and I will take back my complaint against you," Colton replied. Jasmine was silent for a moment. She's having a hard time processing Colton's words to her mind. "Mr. Olivares..." Jasmine spoke, still in confusion, " You know what you're talking about, don't you?" she asked. Making sure that Colton was not just simply babbling things. "Of course, Ms. Jones," Colton replied confidently. "You must be just trying to make a joke, don't you?" Jasmine asked again. "Do I look like I am joking, Officer Jones?" Colton asked back as he stared at Jasmine. He can see the confusion on her face. She must be questioning herself as to why would he want to marry her. "Did the impact of plunging to the ground affected your brain, Mr. Olivares?"
Jasmine lay in her bed while in a daze. She agreed to marry Colton because of her desire to continue in service until she catch the culprit behind her mother's death. She lost her pride when it comes to her mother. She doesn't know why Colton wants to marry her, perhaps he just wants to take revenge on her for mistakenly arresting him and beating him up. Isn't it too shallow to do such a thing? Perhaps, he has another reason, she may not know what it is but she was certain it wasn't because of love. Colton is not the type of person who knows how to love. He only loves himself. Jasmine just close her eyes to sleep. Whatever happened today, she prayed that in the morning when she wakes up, everything is just a dream. ------- The next morning, Jasmine talks to Dina and Ed Ocampo, the childless couple who took her in fifteen years ago, when she has nowhere to go after running away from the Olivares family. They love her as their own and sh
"What?!" Jasmine blurted out again when she heard Colton saying that they should live on the same roof starting today. "Where have you seen a married couple living separately?" Colton questioned Jasmine. "And what if I refuse to live with you?" Jasmine asked with a sullen expression. "Then, I will consider this marriage null," Colton replied without hesitation. 'Null?!' Jasmine repeated inside, "Does that mean that you won't take back the case against me?" she asked impatiently. "Yes!" Colton instantly replied. Jasmine closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath to calm herself as she felt her anger starting to rise again. 'This man does really take no for an answer!' she mumbled inside. It took a few seconds before she opened her eyes again, " Alright," she said as she lifted her hands as if she had surrendered, " You won again," she said, " I will move to your place, I just have to take my things and bring them to your pla
"You pervert!" Jasmine reacted with her sharp gaze as her face turned red. She didn't know if it was due to anger or due to embarrassment at Colton's words!She couldn't imagine herself lying next to him, naked!Colton grinned as he saw how Jasmine's face turned red in anger!"If you don't like the idea of sleeping naked next to me, then, I guess you don't have a choice but to wear one of those," he said as he pointed to the dresses inside the wardrobe."I won't wear any of those dresses nor lie next to you naked!" Jasmine strongly said."Don't tell me, you're going to sleep in the same clothes you wear for the entire day?" Colton said with a disgusted expression."Of course not!" Jasmine instantly replied.Colton's knitted brows got even deeper, " What will you wear then?" he asked out of curiosity."Show me your wardrobe," Jasmine commanded Colton.Colton just shrugged his shoulders and followed what Jasmine said. He w
Colton could smell the flowery scent of Jasmine as he rested his chin on her shoulder. He suddenly had the urge to sniff her neck and kiss it, but he tried to control himself.'Ugh! You're walking into the lion's den, Colton!''Do you want to do it on your own again?!'Colton could feel the heat of his body rising again, so, he decided to move away from Jasmine before he could lose his self-restraint.Funny how he wanted to pester her again, but yet, he was the one who lost it!How come this woman could bring such a sensation to him?It's not like he was a pervert!He is not!He is even choosy about the women he brings to bed, but Jasmine was different!She makes him hard effortlessly!"Alright, let's just order take-out food," Colton said as he straightened his body and walked away from Jasmine.Jasmine felt relieved somehow when Colton moved away from her."Do you only eat fruits and vegetables?"
