Jasmine could see that Justin was mad but why? Could it be that he had found out what happened to her at the restaurant? She wondered.“Justin, you’re here,” she said and removed her hand from Dennis’ embrace so she could go to him. Justin’s frown deepened when he saw the cut on Jasmine’s head. The cut couldn’t have been caused by an egg. It was obvious something else was thrown at her. “Yeah, I hadn’t heard from you since you left the hospital and that’s why I came looking for you,” he explained and glanced over at Dennis who was staring at them with a stoic expression.Jasmine noticed Justin staring and Dennis and she was reminded of the fact that she hadn’t introduced the two. “Umm, Justin, this is Dennis, we went to the same college,” she said.Justin finally recognized who the person sitting in front of him was. It was the asshole who had dated Jasmine because he made a bet with his friends that he could get her into his bed. She turned to Dennis and said, “Dennis, this is my
Why?" Austin asked innocently. He knew very well why Ella said so but he was having too much fun teasing her. Ella felt like knocking some sense into Austin's head. His life as well as Clark's was in danger as they were really high profile people.But how would she tell him without exposing her true identity?"Come, let's go in," Austin said and he led Ella into the building. The event had already started and so, they immediately took their seats.Ella could see Clark and standing behind him was Isabella. Even if she hated Clark with everything inside of her she couldn't allow anything to happen to Isabella or Austin as they had been nice to her; well Austin had been mostly nice towards her.She kept on looking around trying to find anything suspicious. She could see multiple guards stationed at various posts but that didn't help her to calm down. Knowing how the underworld worked she knew there could be men from the side that were sent to attack Clark in those guards she was looki
“Finally!” Jasmine exclaimed as she slumped back on her chair.Tired was an understatement to how she felt at that moment as she had just gone through six consecutive meetings.“You know, I also went through these meetings but you don’t hear me complaining,” Justin said.Jasmine rolled her eyes at his words. “Well, all you had to do was sit there and watch everyone else do the work,” she retorted.Justin was about to clap back when Jasmine’s stomach grumbled loudly. “Well, looks like someone is starving,” he teased.“I didn’t have breakfast and you dragged me out of the diner room before I could eat anything so of course I’m starving.” Jasmine got up from her seat and started to pack the files.“Let’s go before I die of starvation,” she said and without waiting for Justin’s response, she turned and walked out of the conference room. A card fell out of one of the files as she left but she didn’t notice it. Justin however did. He got up and picked the card up. He saw that the card was
“Are you okay?” Ella asked Austin as they drove back to his mansion. He was unusually quiet and for some reason, he seemed mad. Was he mad at her?“I’m fine,” Austin answered curtly. “Someone is following us,” Ella informed him. She had noticed the car had been tailing them since they left the hospital but she didn’t know how to tell Austin about it as he was mad.“They are my men,” he gave another short response. “Oh okay,” Ella simply said and she gave up trying to talk to Austin as she saw that he wasn’t in the mood to talk to her. They arrived at his house a few minutes later and they entered the house.“Why did you do that?” Austin asked out of the blue.“Do what?” Ella replied.“You could have gotten shot if you hadn’t gotten down in time,” Austin reprimanded.Ella finally understood what he was talking about. ‘Why did I do that?’ she asked herself. She hated Clark but yet she saved him from dying today. ‘If he died, Isabella would be heartbroken,’ the voice in her head sai
Jasmine couldn’t help but feel disappointed by her family’s action. To be honest she was expecting more from them and they had disappointed her. If they really thought that this was a smart move then they had no idea what was going to hit them. This was by far their worst move as she could already see how this plan would backfire on them.Justin looked at Jasmine anxiously. The last time something like this came out, she had asked him not to help her and had distanced herself from him. There was no telling what she would do this time. “Okay,” Jasmine simply said and handed over the phone back to Justin, shocking him. Sebastian and Charlotte, having already gotten to see that Justin and Jasmine were alright, had already moved to the dining table to have breakfast as they had missed it just to come here.Justin was more than capable of handling the article that was released about him and Jasmine therefore, Sebastian and Charlotte didn’t interfere.“Okay?” Justin repeated Jasmine’s
Jasmine didn’t realize what was happening for a few seconds as she remained frozen in her place. But like a switch being flipped, she instinctively wrapped her hands around his neck and melted into the kiss.It had been a while since they last kissed and she had missed the feeling of his lips against her. God, no one one had ever kissed her like this. Dennis didn’t even come close to this.She moaned in pain and pleasure when she felt Justin bite her lower lip. She parted her lips a bit and he used that opportunity to slide his tongue in her mouth, tasting every inch of it.Jasmine felt her knees go weak and she would have fallen down if Justin was not supporting her weight by holding her waist. She didn’t know what came over her but she needed more and she would have probably done something if Justin had not broken the kiss to give them time to catch their breaths."Finally!" she suddenly heard someone curse sharply under their breath. She turned and saw that her father and his
“Why are you so heartless?” Austin asked Ella as the cold water hit his hot body, causing him to shiver. Since she didn’t want him to escape, Ella also stayed under the shower. “I am not the one being heartless here, you are,” she retorted. “You very much knew that you were feeling too well and yet you continued working.”“I would have gotten over it eventually,” Austin said stubbornly. “My God, why are you nonchalant about your own health, you could land in the hospital if you don’t treat the fever," Ella chided."I'll be fine, it's just a fever," Austin persisted. Ella was very close to losing her mind with how annoyingly stubborn Austin was."You know what, I'm done with you," she said and turned to go. However she could step out of the shower, she lost her balance and slipped.Luckily, Austin had fast reflexes and he was able to catch her by the waist and pull her towards him just in time. The upside was that Ella didn't fall but the downside was that she and Austin were now
“Ma’am you’re all done,” the makeup artist said to Jasmine. She looked at the mirror and awed in amazement as she couldn’t believe that she was the reflection she was looking at in the mirror.The makeup artist chose to do a glittery smokey eye makeup which made her eyes pop. The entire makeup made her look sexy, bold and daring. This was a real confidence booster as that was how she was supposed to act tonight.She knew she was a beautiful woman but damn she looked more beautiful and stunning than ever. The makeup artist had transformed her. And to think she was afraid to let him do her makeup.This was due to the fact that her sister, Chloe once paid off a man who was a makeup artist to ruin her face during her graduation ceremony in high school. Luckily for her, Ella was an expert in makeup and she was able to come through for her.Ever since that day, she refused to go to any makeup artist and she refused to learn how to do it. She didn’t really feel it though as she rarely wor
