Jasmine clenched her fist and gritted her teeth in anger. Wasn't Justin Gerano supposed to be a cold man who rarely talked to people who weren't his family? It seemed all the rumors about him were wrong as he was just as annoying as the media perceived Austin Gerano to be. "Listen, I'll tell the whole world what you're doing to me," she threatened, hoping he would let her go to save his reputation.Justin stood up from his seat and stood and rested on the table. "That will only happen if I let you out of here and besides, do you really think anyone would believe I kidnapped my girlfriend?" Jasmine shuddered for the umpteenth time on hearing Justin call her his girlfriend. "For the hundredth time, I am not your girlfriend!""The whole world thinks you are my girlfriend and you kissed me which makes you my girlfriend."Jasmine touched the bridge of her nose trying to get herself to calm down. It seemed no matter how much she refuted his claim, he wasn't going to stop calling her his
As much as Jasmine was scared of Sebastian and Charlotte, she immediately wished they had not left as she was now all alone with the one person whom she was trying to avoid.Justin was also not happy that he was left all alone with Jasmine. What was he supposed to say to her after that passionate kiss they had just shared?And what made matters worse was the fact that Jasmine wasn't drunk so he couldn't twist things to his benefit.He looked down and noticed that his chest was opened. He immediately remembered Jasmine unbuttoning the buttons.It felt really good when she touched his chest. His body heated up on just remembering. He quickly shook his head to get himself to return back to reality.He turned to leave his room but as he did, he remembered his mother’s threat. Shit, he had no choice but to do as she said. And so, he turned back and looked at Jasmine who was trying to sneak away.He rolled his eyes at her action. Did she seriously think that she would be able to make it out
“That’s payback for ruining the beautiful day I was supposed to have with my wife. If something like this happens again, then I promise that I’ll do something worse.”Justin read his father’s message over and over again. Sebastian made it look like he was some stranger who had interrupted him and Charlotte. Why was his father so cruel even to his own son? At least now. It could be said that Justin got his unforgiving nature from his father.He decided not to reply to his father as he was sure his father would make his life more miserable. He wanted someone he could vent his irritation on and the first person that came to his mind was Austin.Justin quickly proceeded to text his brother but he stopped when he remembered that he and Austin had gotten into a fight and they were not talking to each other. He dropped his phone and decided to work on some files he had left pending at the office. *****Jasmine finally arrived home after spending an annoying day at Justin’s house. It fel
"My darling girlfriend, I believe you owe me a kiss," he whispered into her ears.Jasmine froze on her spot as she remembered the promise she had made to him if he won the challenge. Was he really intending to get a kiss from her?“You can’t be serious?!” Jasmine stated, although it was more of asking him a question.Justin moved Jasmine’s hair to the other side and rested his head on her shoulder making her inhale sharply. “Oh, I'm serious. I want my kiss right here and right now,” he replied. “Let go of me and I’ll give you your kiss,” Jasmine said to him.Justin chuckled as she knew that she just wanted to escape from his clutches but he still let her go. Afterall, he wanted to please his darling ‘girlfriend’.Jasmine on seeing that he had removed his hands from her waist, quickly stood up and turned to face Justin. Her face was as red as an apple and if steam couldn’t come out of her ears and nose, then it would have, considering how angry she was at that moment. “Why did you c
Sebastian could tell that Austin was lying when he said that nothing happened between him and Justin. The two were inseparable and you would hardly see one without seeing the other but that had not been the case for the past few days.Seeing that Austin wasn’t ready to tell him the truth, he decided to retort to violence and that was the reason he started twisting Austin’s ear.“Boy, you better start talking if you don’t want to lose an ear,” he threatened and further twisted it.“Uncle, I already told you that there’s nothing going on between Justin and I,” Austin lied persistently. “We’ve just been so busy with running the company that we haven't had time to see each other.”“Oh so the company is the reason why you two have refused to speak to each other? Then how about, I removed you two from your position so you won’t grow apart," Sebastian suggested as he finally let go of Austin’s ear.The latter rubbed his ear which had turned red from the pain. “There’s no need for that uncle,
It was as if a wrecking ball had hit Justin in the chest with how heavy it was upon hearing that Jasmine had been kidnapped.“How did it happen?” Austin asked on behalf of Justin as the latter looked really mad to even say anything.“Well, she had come out of the building and just as she was about to approach me, a white van came out of nowhere and parked in between us and the next thing I knew was that she was no longer there,” Cole explained.Justin put his hand on the bridge of his nose trying to get himself to calm down. The urge to kill Cole for failing to protect Jasmine was burning through his bones. But that wouldn't do anything to change the fact that Jasmine had been kidnapped.“Did you manage to get the plate number of the vehicle?” he finally managed to ask. Even though he didn't show much of an expression on his face, his menacing tone showed how angry he was.At this point, another guard who was holding a tablet stepped forward. “I managed to get the plates but it is of
"Where is the woman you kidnapped?" Justin asked again as he cocked his gun. He had no time to waste but these idiots were hell bent on doing so. “She’s in that room with our boss,” one of the goons quickly said as he didn’t want to be killed. However, his wishes were not granted because as soon as the words left his mouth, he felt something go through his forehead. Justin’s gun was the last thing he saw before his soul left his body.Justin quickly turned and headed towards the direction the now dead goon had pointed to. Austin quickly followed while Clark waited behind to give his men instructions on how to take care of the remaining men.Justin ran into the room but to his surprise, there was no one in the room. Did that asshole lie to him? He asked himself. His questions were answered when he noticed a jacket and a shirt lying on the floor.He picked it up and recognised it to be one of the clothes he had got for Jasmine. ‘Shit!’ he cursed to himself as he realized he had been
“Come, sit, let me clean your wounds,” Justin said. Beside him was a first aid kit which wasn’t there earlier. That meant he had left to get it after she entered the bathroom to change.“I can clean it myself,” Jasmine said, refusing to move an inch from where she was standing.“I said sit!” Justin snapped in a sharp voice. Couldn’t this girl just listen to what he said without him having to get irritated.Jasmine didn’t know when her legs moved towards Justin. She sat down on the couch and Justin immediately got busy with cleaning her wounds.She wordlessly watched as he applied an ointment to her bruise. His touch felt so gentle to her skin as opposed to the cold way he acted towards him. The bartender’s words suddenly came to her mind. ‘He is probably battling with his heart and mind.’Even though he was mean to her, he would always come rushing to save her. Yet he would still act cold to her. Just pick one to follow; the heart or the mind.Justin was so focused on her wounds that
