Chapter 068|Home is not a placeHe gave her a little unsure smile. "Are you sure because well, you always saw something in me that no one else did." He held her hand. "Nothing feels the same without you anymore." "This is the best decision for everyone, trust me." "Is it? The team is moving, I mean the only home you truly know, your memories with Sir Young resides there, your short but helluva impressive speeches were made in the courtyard of those homes and everything you truly hold dear is in there and I'm being whisked off to a boarding school? And you think that is the best thing?" "Sir Young would always say that home is not a place but in here," she touched the right side of her chest. "That's why wherever you go and whatever you do, it doesn't change how and what I think of you. You'll always be home to me, I'll choose you again and again and again if need be because that's what family would do." "Do you think Sir Young would have approved if he was alive?" "He w
Chapter 069|Lover of the yearJasmine opened the door with a smile on her face which fell the minute she noticed the person on the other side. "Why are you here and how do you know I live here?" "How are you doing?" Jasmine smiled a bit as she walked out of the threshold allowing him to walk in. "Good." He held her hand and she shrugged it off. "You have 5 minutes to say whatever you have to say. Like I told you before we have nothing to talk about but if you must take my time and yours make it snappy." He nodded and realising how easily he had made everything intense, he looked away, his eyes now on the wallpaper She wanted to kiss the frown off his face, take off his jacket and tell him just how much she missed with and how surreal it feels to have him in her house, with her but she didn't. She just stared coldly at him, taking a seat adjacent to his thankfully for once sticking to her rationality and not getting her hopes up. For all she knew, he just
Chapter 070|Home to her "Love is knowing that the person you have that feeling for just might not be perfect, learning the ugly, the messy, the heartbreaking, the scandalous and still not able to feel differently about that same person." Her breath hitched as she told herself again and again not to have hope, not to get all excited. Not to think he was talking about her, them. "The picture of the butterfly, I can't look at it now without remembering your own crazy interpretation. It hurts so much." Her eyes met his. "So you brought it down?" She asked because that was the right, sanest thing to do unlike her who had made an unhealthy habit of strolling around Surulere like a psycho, her legs digging into the mud and her eyes welling with tears. "Yes, I removed it off the wall." Then he stood up, watching her expression as he walked towards her while she just stared. "I took it upstairs, just opposite my bed, so it was the first thing I saw when I woke up and the last when
Chapter 71|Stay Her eyes were trained on him as she cocked the gun pointing it at her head. "Be careful of what you choose to tell me, Taiwo else I promise you I would blow my brains right away and you'll have to live with the guilt that you're the reason why I'm dead." "Why are you doing this, Jasmine?" "Because you won't tell me the truth if I don't so the clock is ticking, Taiwo. Did you know?" Both their gaze clashed in the room as she placed her finger threateningly on the trigger. 5 days ago Jasmine smiled as Taiwo held onto her even with his eyes closed as she tried to slip out of his bed. “Stay,” he huskily mumbled into her ear making her groan as she wondered how a girl was supposed to say no to such a sexy throaty bedroom voice that turned her brains to mush. “You don’t play fair,” she complained pouting even as his arms wound around her waist and lined her back against his groin so she felt his erection and moaned. “And so tempting but sadly I would have
Chapter 072|GoodbyeJasmine smiled uneasily at the unfamiliar faces she met in what looked like a frat-house dormitory, who looked nothing like normal school children if their moustache was anything to go by. Deciding not to raise alarm until she has confirmed Chucks was fine and well, she followed one of the acne faced teenagers that had found her at the gate of the boarding school, confused and worried as to why the school administration denied being aware of anybody like Chucks in their school, and had told her he knew where Chucks was while making a mental note to hit her speed dial and call on one of her security guards if she suspected any foul play.She cringed at the torn dirty curtain while clutching her purse closer to her as she stepped into the dimly-lit sitting room.She all but leapt to where Chucks sat, her face glowing with pure joy but stopped when she got to where he was.“What are you doing here?” she narrowed her gaze at Kehinde who just walked into the room and th

"Mom you are crying." Her voice was tiny and confused as she stared curiously at her mom's tear-stained face.She shook her head, despite her welling tears."No, I'm not." Then bent down so she was at eye level with her, while the little girl innocently gazed back at her mother. "No matter what you see, do not make any sound, you get me?"Her big eyes darted to her father's, who was nursing the gun wound on his leg as blood flowed from it seamlessly. Noticing her eyes on him, He managed a smile for her benefit."Is daddy going to be okay?""Yes baby, yes he will be fine." Her mother coaxed."Remember if anything happens." She paused kissing her forehead, "Call Uncle Young, he will know what to do sweetheart.""Would you come to get me?" She glanced at her mother with trust in her eyes."I will."She lied.Seconds after, as she peeked from the wardrobe, Three men stormed into the house with rifles
Chapter 01|Thy shall not kill Jasmine rolled her eyes as Kolade's widow screamed, wailing and thrashing on the floor, her four years old son beside her, moping at her in absolute confusion. Then seconds later, He becomes engrossed in glancing at the casket oblivious to the reality, that the man he calls daddy was lying in there. Jasmine hated two things intensely in her life amongst others. Being emotional and faking being emotional and as she noticed the whimpers of tears, the fake sobs, and overly pitched moans, she could tell that almost everybody who looked teary was dying to just get their damn act over with. Everyone knew Kolade's wife would have thrust a knife into his chest and murdered him in cold blood, one of these days if one of their assignments which had gone horribly wrong courtesy of the dead man, had not. Aside from being an unapologetic cheat, according to rumors spiraling in the Natives,
