Jasmine reminisced about the past. Whenever she would celebrate happy occasions with her mother, she would always wish her father was there with her. Papa bear was the closest she had to experiencing fatherly love.While Jasmine was busy reminiscing about her past, Justin mind was trying to find a loophole in the ‘papa bear’s’ story. Who was this person and why was he sending Jasmine gifts?Well he knew why but WHY?The sound of the doors opening brought them both out of their thoughts. They came out and headed straight to their car. Just as they were about to enter their car, someone called Jasmine.She turned towards the direction where the caller’s voice had come from and saw her elder brother Chase walking towards her and beside him was none other than Chloe. 'How so unexpected,' Jasmine muttered sarcastically to herself. Even though Chase wasn't as brutal and sinister as his mother and sister, he wasn’t much different from them. He would always allow his friends to bully her a
"What the hell is wrong with you and why are you so stubborn?" Ella asked angrily."I should ask you the same thing. Why the hell are you so dumb?"Austin retorted.You know what, your sister thinking we could work together was a big mistake," Ella scoffed in anger."For the first time today we finally agreed as you said something sensible, you and I don't go well together," Austin quipped.They were currently in Isabella company's workshop trying to figure out a plan for the launching of the new designs from the L'oread company.This was Austin mother's company which he was now handling. Normally, it was always Charlotte Isabella and Danielle that would always handle it.But since her son had come back Danielle handed over to him and, well, Isabella had other things to do and so she assigned Ella to work along with Austin to figure out something.They had been on this issue for over two hours now and whenever Ella would suggest something Austin would brush it aside saying it was dumb
"It looks like I'll have to eliminate Austin Gerano once and for all," Ella said in a sinister tone.Bella's eyes immediately turned cold upon hearing Ella's words. "You know I'll support you in anything and everything you do but I advise you to be careful when you mess with the Gerano family. we both know how dangerous they are.""Of course you do not need to tell me how dangerous the Gerano family is," Ella stated."I have been a witness to it personally and all I can say is don't worry about me, I'll be fine. None of them has managed to discover who I actually am and I hope to keep it that way." Bella simply shook her head and she knew it was pointless trying to talk her out of doing something stupid. All she had to do was to prepare her men to protect Ella when that finally happened."I met Clark Fraser some days back," Ella told Bella. The latter jumped out of her chair and went to hold Ella."You actually met the king of the underworld, how was it?" She asked with curiosity.El
"That's it for today," Jonathan said to Jasmine. They had just finished her training and as expected, she was beyond exhausted."You're not as bad as you were when you first arrived here," Jonathan commented before turning to meet the rest of his men.Jasmine's face lit up on hearing Jonathan's words. It wasn't exactly a compliment but that was the nicest thing he had said to her ever since she started training with him two weeks ago.She checked the time and saw that it was already seven forty five. Justin wouldn't be able to come and get her as he had a meeting which would end by nine o'clock.Jasmine pouted her lips and sighed resignedly. She was already used to Justin picking her up. Sure he would annoy her along the way but they always made up."Ma'am, it's time to go," Cole said, bringing her out of her thoughts."Aren't you going to say hello to your father?" Jasmine asked a bit confused as to why Cole and Jonathan were acting so distant with one another. Cole glanced at his fa
“You fucking locked us out of the car!” Austin yelled in annoyance.“What, that’s not possible,” Ella replied in disbelief.Austin looked at her and then moved out of the way. “Please, be my guest and get me into the car.”Ella went to the car door and tried to open it but it refused to budge. She couldn’t even check if the doors were opened as it was night and the windows were tinted. “I’m still waiting,” Austin reminded when he saw that Ella had stopped trying to open the door.Ella, seeing that her efforts were futile, stopped trying and turned to Austin. “It didn’t open.”“No kidding!” Austin replied sarcastically. “You must have hit the central lock when you opened the door. None of this would have happened if you had just listened to me and stayed in the car.”“Hey, don’t you dare blame me. None of this would have happened if you had not taken this deserted route,” Ella clapped back.Austin scoffed in disbelief at Ella’s statement. “Well forgive me for trying to get you home as
Marcelo watched as the black car parked in front of him. The door opened and a tall man came out. The guards who were with Marcelo flinched on seeing Justin walking up to them.They immediately felt pity for the men who they had caught. Nothing in this world would save them from Justin's wrath. He finally got to where the men who were caught had been tied up. His piercing blue eyes sent a chill across the three men's spine.Justin's eyes went over the three men and he saw his brother sitting casually on his car's bonnet with a bored expression and beside him was Ella Nelson. Justin wondered what she was doing with Austin. He would ask him later for now, he needed to deal with the three idiots who actually thought they could kidnap his brother and get away with it.****Two hours ago.Ella opened her eyes and quickly shut them back when the sun’s sharp ray hit her. Damn that was really bright! She sat up and slowly opened her eyes once again. It was still very bright but she was able
After a while, Ella finally let go of Austin. She didn’t want to imagine what would have happened if his men had not come and the thugs had managed to kidnap them.“Are you okay?” Austin asked in a whisper. “Yes I am,” Ella answered. “You idiot, there was no need to put yourself in danger just because of me,” she chided.Hearing Ella scold him assured Austin that she was really fine. He couldn’t describe the anger he felt at that moment when Ella was being humiliated. It made him forget everything including the fact that the thugs had their guns pointed at him.“I couldn’t control myself when I heard him say those things,” He explained.Ella touched the cheek he had been punched on lightly. “And what would I have done if something had happened to you?” she asked.Marcelo, who was standing beside them, wished to be anywhere else but there. Didn’t the two realize that they were in a public place surrounded by people? Why were they acting so lovey dovey with each other?His phone sudde
Justin stepped out of his car and as soon as he did, the driver who had driven Jasmine to the restaurant, stepped out of his own car and approached him.“Good afternoon young master,” the driver greeted and bowed his head in respect. “Good afternoon,” Justin answered. “Hasn’t Jasmine come out yet?” he asked.“No sir,” the driver answered. Justin’s brows furrowed upon hearing the driver’s answer. Jasmine had texted him a while back informing him that the contractors had already signed the contract so why was she not out yet?Justin could immediately feel something was wrong. He quickly entered the restaurant and scanned it but there was no sign of Jasmine anywhere. He could feel himself starting to get anxious.There was still that unknown mafia gang that put a price on her head which meant that her life was going to be in constant danger. “Good afternoon sir, how may I help you?” A waiter asked.“Did you see a red haired lady in your restaurant?” Justin inquired. Jasmine was very e
