Justin turned to look at Jasmine with a questioning look on his face. “Jasmine?” he called.“I want to hear what they have to say,” Jasmine said. Although Jasmine had said that she wanted to see her parents, Cole could not grant her wish if Justin did not give him permission to do so. And so, He turned to Justin and waited for him to speak.“You can send them in,” Justin said. Cole bowed and left.After Cole left, Justin turned to Jasmine. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to see your family,” he said. “Nothing good ever comes from my family,” Jasmine affirmed and chuckled. “My sister is the one responsible for my condition and so, I want to hear what she have to say.”There was a knock on the door after Jasmine spoke. “Come in,” she said and the door opened. Just like Cole had informed them, her father and siblings were there. The only person who was not there was her step mother, Regina, much to Jasmine’s relief.Justin did not bother to hide the hatred from them as he looked at th
“If Justin Gerano thinks he has won then he has no idea of what I’m capable of. It’s time he realizes that the Geranos are not as powerful as they think they are,” Regina sneered.The Geranos thought that they were the most powerful family but that was not the case. Even if the Geranos, Brooks and Fraser all came together, it was not going to be a match for the empire her family had been building for over thirty years and they were the three most powerful families. Regina thought to herself as she remembered the past.They had remained anonymous since they had been created as they were not interested in gang wars. All they wanted was to do their business in peace but that didn’t mean that they didn’t become ruthless if necessary. And one of the times to become ruthless had finally come. The Geranos wouldn’t know what hit them. Regina turned and focused her attention on the man in front of her. “You know what you have to do right?” she asked.“Yes I do,” the man answered.“Now go
“Ma’am, what are we going to do?” They kept on asking Ella. “I don’t know. How are we going to find a model to fill in for the other one in a space of less than twenty minutes?” She muttered to herself. Someone suddenly gasped and they all turned to look at who it was. It was one of the other models who had done so. She quickly walked from the back to Ella. “Ma’am, you are a perfect replacement for the other model,” she said and everyone immediately nodded in agreement.“Why didn’t I think of this,” the makeup artist said and scolded himself for not coming up with the idea sooner. They were racking their brains looking for who could be the model’s replacement when the answer had been right in front of them all along; Ella.She was about five ten in height and she had a really slim body just like a model’s.“No no no,” Ella refused. “There is no way I can be the model replacement. I haven’t been through any training like you guys,” she pointed out.“Nonsense, that’s not necessary,”
“Justin, call Jonathan and Marcelo and inform them of what happened tonight. I want that mole found by tomorrow!” Sebastian ordered. Justin nodded and left to do as his father had asked him to. “It’s late, you all should head home,” Austin urged.“But I want to stay and help,” Charlotte said.“He’s right my love, we should head home,” Sebastian said. “But…” Charlotte started to argue but Sebastian held her hand and stopped her. “I know you want to help but there’s nothing we can do tonight. You'll help tomorrow,” he said and Charlotte had no choice but to agree.That was a lie on Sebastian's part as he had no intention of involving Charlotte in the matter. He could tell that something big was about to go down and so, there was no way he would put her in danger. As he passed by Austin, he gave him a look and Austin who had known his uncle for all his life immediately understood the look. “Involve her and you suffer for it,” was what Austin understood by the look. He immediately
Ella opened her eyes sharply as she had been woken up from sleep abruptly. She turned her head to the left and she saw the source of what had led to her waking up. It was her phone which was ringing. And even though it was on vibration, that didn’t stop her from waking up. This was due to the environment she had grown up in with taught her that she had to be at alert at all timesHer phone stopped vibrating and she returned her head back to what she was lying on and closed her eyes.It was as if something snapped in her head and she opened her eyes again to look at the pillow she was resting her head on. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw that the pillow was Austin’s chest. She looked down and saw that she had slept in Austin’s arms. Ella quickly stood up and jumped down from the bed. After speaking to Jasmine, she and Austin decided to watch a movie. They must have fallen asleep while watching the movie. Her phone started vibrating once more and she picked up the phone. Her
"We are here," the cab driver said to Jasmine.Jasmine was brought out of her deep thoughts. She looked outside and saw that they had indeed arrived at her family's restaurant."Thank you," she said and gave the cab driver his money. Jasmine got down from the car and looked at the restaurant once again.There seem to be no customers at the restaurant. That was shocking as she expected to see the place already full considering what had been released about her.Well that was to her advantage as she would be able to say what she wanted to without any interruptions. Taking a deep breath she entered the restaurant.She was met by a cleaner who was cleaning up the place. It was evident from the look of shock on her face that she wasn't expecting her."Is Mr Lucious Baxter in," she asked."Do you have an appointment with him," the cleaner asked. Having worked with Justin as his personal assistant, she knew how these things worked. Her father was definitely upstairs in his office and tha
After his family meeting, Austin received a call from Jonathan. "Sir, I have found out something about Bella, the woman you asked me to investigate this morning," Jonathan informed. I'm on my way to the base, meet me there in twenty minutes," Austin instructed and hung up the call.He sighed and hoped that the truth about Ella would be finally reviewed so she would know what you would do with her.He quickly turned towards the direction of his car and entered it. Not long after he arrived at his family base.After greeting the men who were stationed outside he entered and headed straight to the office which was underneath the building. Jonathan was already waiting for him and after exchanging pleasantries they got down to the business which they had both come there for."What did you manage to find out about Bella?" Austin asked.Jonathan brought out a file from his bag and gave it to Austin which the latter immediately opened and started to read."She's the head of one of the gang
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
