"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 place." she added.
"Oh, there's no need," Colton said, " I have ordered Alexis to fetch your things and bring them to my condo unit."
"Oh, that is so considerate of you," Jasmine said, and Colton wasn't sure if she was being sarcastic.
It was starting to get dark when Jasmine and Colton arrived at his condominium.
East Highlands Condominium was one of the most expensive real estate in the entire city that only those wealthy people could afford. The entrance itself has luxurious decorations.
Jasmine just silently followed Colton. She stood behind her when they were inside the lift until they reached the fifth floor where his unit must be. She followed him when he got out of the lift and walked in the hallway until they reached his unit.
"021817,"
"Huh?!" Jasmine blurted out as she looked at Colton with her creased brows.
Colton turned his head to Jasmine, " The passcode," he said.
"O-Oh!" Jasmine blurts out again.
Colton pushed the door open and entered his unit. Jasmine followed and she was in awe when she saw the inside of the condo.
The living room was wide and cozy. The wall is painted white and gray. There isn't much furniture in it aside from the sofa on the gray carpet and the center table with plants on top, and a top TV wall.
Jasmine finds the place cozy and she likes it this way because she's a minimalist.
"There are three rooms here," Jasmine snapped back to her senses when she heard Colton speak.
"The right side is the door for my mini gym," he said as he pointed the door to the right side, " The middle is my study room and the left side is for my bedroom," he added.
Jasmin turned her head to Colton with her wondering expression," Where's mine?" she asked.
"What do you mean?" Colton asked back as he looked at her.
"Where would I sleep when you own every room here?" Jasmine questioned.
" There's my bedroom, Mrs. Olivares," Colton replied with his serious expression.
Jasmine was a bit stunned, " What?!"
"You mean we're sleeping in the same room?!"
"Why not?" Colton replied as he curled the corners of his lips, " Isn't it what married couples do?" he added, pestering Jasmine.
"Oh, don't tell me you're afraid that I might touch you?" Colton continued as he threw an uninterested look at Jasmine.
Jasmine's brows automatically raised as he noticed Colton's gaze. His gaze was telling her that he wouldn't get attracted to her, and it made her annoyed!
"I don't think I would even have the desire to touch you," Colton said lazily, which made Jasmine's brows raise again!
"Hah!" she let out a short yet sarcastic laugh, " And so am I to you!" she said. She then marched to the bedroom, opened the door, and entered the room before slamming it close in annoyance!
'Now, that's how you deal with a hard-headed woman!' Colton said inside with his gaze at Jasmine. Just then, his phone rang.
Colton took his phone from his pocket and checked the caller's ID. He went to his study room before he answered the call, " Atty. Almendras," Colton said to the person in another line as soon as he locked the door.
Colton paused as if he was listening to the person, " Oh, yes, yes, we can meet tomorrow," he said.
"Okay, bye, " he said after a while before he ended the call.
Meanwhile, in another room, " He wouldn't be interested in touching me?!" Jasmine mumbled in annoyance.
"Tsss!" she scoffed. She then looked at herself in a full-length mirror that was attached to the wall.
Jasmine looked at her face. She may not be as pretty as a beauty queen, but she's not an average beauty either. Just enough to make a man's head turn to her.
Jasmine's gaze went down to her body, she moved side by side as if checking herself. She may not be that tall, but she still has a good figure!
" Her capsize is 34b, her waist measures 26 inches, and her hip is 34 inches. She may not be as long-legged as Victoria's Secret model, but her legs have their beautiful shape and are flawless!
"Hmp!" Jasmine rolled her eyes,' One day will come and you'll eat your words!' she mumbled inside.
Jasmine was exhausted after the long day and only a shower could ease the exhaustion she felt, so, she decided to take a bath, but she realized that her things weren't still there.
'I thought he let his assistant fetch my things?' she asked inside as she looked around and searched for her things but they were nowhere to be found.
Jasmine got out of the bedroom again and looked for Colton. Just then, Colton came out of his study room.
"I thought you made your assistant fetch my things?" Jasmine asked straight forward.
"Yes, I did," he replied.
"Where are they?"
"Why can't I find it?" Jasmine asked again.
"They're in the wardrobe," Colton replied.
He walked to the room and Jasmine followed. He then opened the door to the wardrobe and Jasmine's brows automatically creased as soon as she saw the dresses and clothes hanging inside, " These are not mine!" she said with her gaze on the lingerie, nightgowns, and other expensive dresses hanging inside the wardrobe.
"Well, it's yours now!" Colton said.
"Ha!" Jasmine turned her sharp gaze to Colton, " I won't wear those!" she said strongly, " I want my old ones back!" she demanded.
"Oh, I'm sorry but I have let Alexis throw them in the trash!" Colton replied without a hint of regret.
"What?!" Jasmine's eyes went wide open in disbelief!
"Why did you do that?!"
"Who gave you the permission to throw away my belongings?!" Jasmine is now mad!
She's more comfortable wearing oversized shirts and pants whenever she's home. How is she supposed to wear those revealing clothes?!
Jasmine's face is now red due to anger. She wants to beat Colton again but she suppresses herself, afraid that he might find another reason to threaten her!
"What could we do?" Colton spoke, not minding Jasmine's anger, " The garbage truck has already taken your clothes away, " he said.
"You!" Jasmine pointed to Colton as she gritted her teeth, suppressing her anger.
"I suppose you don't have a choice but to wear those," Colton said as his gaze averted to the clothes inside the wardrobe.
"Not unless you're fine lying naked next to me," Colton added as he revealed a mysterious smile, " I'm fine with too!" he added as he widened his mysterious smile.
"Ouch!" Jasmine complained when Colton grabbed the wounded part of her arm! Colton froze when he realized that something is wrong with Jasmine's arm. "What---" his next words were stuck in his throat when he saw the bandage with a trace of blood on Jasmine's arm. He looked at her with his wondering expression and ask, " What is this?" Jasmine pulled back her arm and answered, " It's just a small wound, it's nothing serious," she said. She was about to turn again but Colton grab her other arm to stop her from leaving. "This is not just nothing," he said, " How did you get that wound?" he asked with a hint of concern in his voice. "Someone caused a ruckus outside the precinct and I tried to stop her, but she was still able to cut my arm with the broken bottle," Jasmine explained. "What?!" Colton's voice raised, " A broken bottle?" he repeated, " Did you go to the hospital to treat this?" he asked in concern. "No, I didn't" Jasmine replied honestly. "Are crazy?!" Colton's voice r
Jasmine is peacefully reviewing some old unsolved cases of the kidnapped children when they hear a ruckus outside the station. "What's that?" Jasmine turned her head to her fellow officer, Sandra, and asked with her knitted brows. "I don't know," Sandra replied, she's also wondering what's going on outside the station. *PLACK!* Sandra and Jasmine looked at each other when they heard a shattering of glass as if someone has smashed it outside and followed by the voices of the other officers who are trying to rebuke the person Jasmine and Sandra hurriedly run outside to check the situation and they were both stunned to see a middle-aged woman holding a broken bottle and aiming the sharp part at the police officers who are trying to stop her! *Gasp!* Sandra gasped as she saw the woman, " Isn't that the mother of the missing teenage girl, Lala Montilde?!" she exclaimed. Jasmine looked at the woman and Sandra was right! It was Mrs. Montilde, the mother of a mentally disabled teenage
The next morning...Jasmine is half awake and she feels something heavy in her chest which makes her hard to breathe. She slowly opened her eyes but was met with the room's dim light. She can still feel the heaviness in her chest which made her look at it and her brows automatically knitted when she saw an arm. Judging by the arm's size, she can tell that it was a man's arm!Jasmine slowly turned her head to her left side, and she saw Colton, peacefully sleeping with his arm on her chest.A smile automatically showed on her face seeing her husband's handsome face while sleeping.'What an imagination!' she said inside, thinking it was just an imagination lying beside Colton.She also dreamed of having a steamy night with him!Jasmine moved to tilt her body but she froze when she feel the pain in her entire body, particularly, the part in between her legs!Jasmine's eyes slowly went wide open when she realized something!*Gasp!*
Jasmine didn't know when or how, but the next thing she knew is she was already lying on the bed!She knew what could possibly happen, but she doesn't have the desire to stop this!Her heart and mind liked what Colton is doing to her right now!He was kissing her lips while his hand is conquering every inch of her body.She can feel him unhooking her brassiere but she did not stop him. The next thing she felt is, his palm touching her chest and gently squeezing her breasts which sends a tickling sensation and pleasure to her, and she couldn't help but let out a moan."Hmmm..."Colton freed Jasmine's lips. Jasmine thought that Colton would stop there, but no, he didn't!He lowered his kisses instead, to her chin, down to her neck. She has goosebumps when he bit her earlobe before lowering his kiss to her shoulder.Colton took off her clothes, exposing her naked breast."They're beautiful..." Colton whispered to Jasmine as
Jasmine changed her shoes into slippers before waking in the living room and turning on the light but she was startled and almost jump in fright when someone suddenly spoke!"You're home,""Ah~!" Jasmine screamed when she heard someone suddenly speak!"Do I look scary for you to be startled like that?" Colton, who is sitting on the sofa asked with his cold expression as he turned his head to Jasmine."Why the hell would you seat in there with the lights off?!" Jasmine questioned Colton as she put her palm on her right chest to calm herself. She can feel her heart thumping so hard!" I did not expect you to be in there, I thought no one is home yet!" she explained."Whatever," Colton said indifferently, " Have you had dinner yet?" he asked after a while."No, not yet," Jasmine replied."Go and wash up, I'll have the dinner ready," Colton said before he got up from his seat and headed to the kitchen, still in his cold expression.
Jasmine doesn't want to start another fight with Colton, so, she let him drive her to work."Just drop me off there," Jasmine pointed to the spot that is a few meters from the precinct."Why there?" Colton asked, " I can drop you off in front of the precinct," he said."There's no need," Jasmine refused. She prefers to get off in an uncrowded space. Getting off in a luxurious car would surely cause questions to the other officers and she doesn't want that to happen. They will only question her and it might lead to being exposed that she got married while in suspension--- To the person who caused her suspension to be exact!Colton pulled over to the spot to which Jasmine pointed, " Be careful with your work," he said before Jasmine gets off the car."Ennn..." Jasmine just nodded her head as a response. She then opened the door and get off the car.Just as she closed the door, a motorbike stopped and park in the available space near Jasmine.
