“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
Jasmine woke up the next day to the sound of someone knocking on her door. She groaned in annoyance as she was woken up from her sleep. “Jasmine, open the door,” she heard Justin yell as he increased his banging.Without opening her eyes, she walked over to the door and opened it. “Why are you disturbing me so early in the morning?” she asked in annoyance.“Well honey, it’s already one in the afternoon and if we do not wake you up, you might sleep the day away,” A female voice answered.Jasmine’s sleep immediately disappeared upon hearing the woman’s voice and she opened her eyes. “Mrs Gerano!” she exclaimed in horror. Standing in front of her was Justin, Isabella and Charlotte. If she had known that Charlotte and Isabella were there, she would have opened the door much sooner and she wouldn’t have snapped in irritation. Charlotte couldn’t control her laughter on seeing Jasmine’s horrified look. It reminded her of one time when she had overslept all thanks to Sebastian making her wo
“What do you want to eat?” Justin asked Jasmine as they returned back to his car. This made Jasmine a little surprised. Was Justin really that considerate or did he have something up his sleeve? “What?” Justin asked when he saw the suspicious look Jasmine was giving him. “Why are you being so nice to me?” Jasmine asked suspiciously.“Why can’t I be so nice to my darling girlfriend especially after she had a terrible day?” Justin replied.Jasmine rolled her eyes at his words. Did he really think she was a fool? “First off, I’m not your girlfriend, secondly, you have no soul so no you can’t be nice,” she answered bluntly.Justin gasped and clutched his chest pretending that he was hurt by Jasmine’s words. “Whether you like it or not, you are my girlfriend and secondly, I do have a soul. I wouldn’t be doing so much for you if I didn’t.”Jasmine rolled her eyes one last time and got into the car. She was very tired and not in the mood to argue with Justin; a game she was sure to lose
