“Jasmine, where are you?” A woman yelled as she entered a house. “Get your ass out here Jas, I have really important news to tell you!”
A door opened and a fair lady with red hair came rushing out. “What is the important news Ella?” Jasmine asked.“Your neighbor Mrs Hart’s daughter got cheated by her husband,” Ella revealed. “And honestly, I do not feel sorry for her,” she added.Jasmine hit her friend on the shoulder which made her cry in pain. “You shouldn’t speak like that. No one woman deserves to be cheated on,” she said with sadness in her voice.Ella understood why she was sad as she spoke about the matter and she couldn’t help but feel sad as well.“Not her,” she clapped back. “They are always making fun of you and instigating everyone against you. This will make them calm for a while.”Jasmine smiled at Ella’s words. “This is why I always tell you that I do not believe in love. It’s just another avenue to get hurt. My mother fell in love and looked at where it got her, the same as Mrs Hart’s daughter.”“Don’t be like that Jas. Just because a few people had bad experiences doesn’t mean your experience will be the same,” Ella said.“Just give it a chance. I’m sure there is a prince charming waiting out there for you.”Jasmine chuckled and walked out of her house. “Trust me when I say that I’m not going to fall for any prince charming.”Ella followed her and looked at her with a mischievous smile. “We’ll see about that.”There was a loud cry before Jasmine could react to Ella’s words. She recognized the voice to be her mother’s. She rushed to where the cry had come from and she saw her mother on the floor.She and Ella immediately rushed over and helped her up and picked up the bags of fruits which were lying on the groundJasmine looked up and saw a fleet of cars passing by her. She quickly looked around and saw a bottle of water lying on the ground. Not caring where it came from, she picked it up and threw it at the cars. Luckily for her, the bottle hit the back of the last car and it stopped.The rest of the cars also stopped as well. And as soon as the cars stopped, the doors opened and at least twenty men came out of the cars and they were all dressed in black suits. There was no mistaking that they were guards to someone very important.“Jasmine my dear, you shouldn’t have done that,” her mother scolded. She gulped in fear when she saw the guards.These people seemed to be very rich and she was scared of them. This was because one of such rich people ruined her entire family and caused her mother's death.“I don’t care about that mom. They almost killed you. It’s only decent that they apologize,” Jasmine said stubbornly. The door to the car she had hit opened and a man came out of it. He was wearing a black suit and as he turned to face her, she was able to observe his features.He had blue eyes as deep as the ocean, jet black hair which was really slick; a stubble jawline and high cheekbones.In one word, he looked stunning. She could feel herself getting lost in those deep blue eyes of his. A man suddenly stood beside him, snapping her out of her thoughts.‘Twins,’ she muttered to herself. The second man looked a lot like the first man. Blue eyes, jet black hair, a stubble jawline and high cheekbones. But there was just something about the first man that made her heart beat faster.“Who threw this?” the man asked in a deep voice and it sent chills down her spine. She was not the only one as she saw the terrified expressions the people around them had.“I did,” Jasmine answered and got closer to him.“Why did you throw this at my car?” the first man asked menacingly.Jasmine, unlike the others, didn't flinch at the sound of the man’s cold voice nor did she turn her gaze from his.“It’s sad that despite the fact that you’re rich, you can't hire drivers who can drive properly. What a waste of your money,” she said in disgust.She hated rich people especially those who acted like they were the kings of the world just because they had money and power.“Listen woman,” the man’s twin brother suddenly said . “Do you realize who you just spoke to?” he sneered.“I honestly couldn’t care less about who you people are. All I want is for you to order your men to apologize to my mother for almost killing her,” she retorted.The two men looked at each other and then back at her. They didn’t show any emotions on their faces making it difficult for her to know what they were thinking about.“What you did damaged my car and you’re going to pay for it,” Justin said in a condescending tone.“Oh please, nothing has happened to your car,” Jasmine retorted. She wanted to say more but her mother spoke.“Sir, I apologize on behalf of my daughter. Please forgive her,” the mother begged.Ella bit her lips as that was her habit whenever she got nervous. She knew Jasmine was about to lose her mind and that would not be good.And just as Ella had predicted, Jasmine lost her cool on seeing her mother apologizing as it brought back old painful memories.“There is no need to apologize mom; these people do not deserve it,” she said.“They almost ran you over and yet they expect us to apologize. Listen here mister, just because she has no money doesn’t mean you should disres…”Jasmine was unable to finish her sentence as Justin did something unexpected. He opened the bottle of water and started pouring the contents on her head.“Are you crazy?!” Jasmine yelled as she cleaned her face.“You talk way too much,” Justin said irritably.“Way too much,” Austin agreed. He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out his wallet.He brought out some money and gave it to Jasmine’s mother. “This is for your hospital bills.”After that, the two men turned and intended to go back to their cars. However, something hit their car. They turned and saw Jasmine throwing fruits at their car.After she was done, Jasmine collected the money which Austin had given to them and walked up to them and threw the money at their faces. “Here, use this to pay for your car’s bill.”“You’re dead meat,” Justin said to her.“And you’re a rotten fruit,” Jasmine clapped back.Austin touched his brother’s shoulder. “There’s no point in talking to such a low class woman. It will only stain our reputation. We’ll take care of her later. Let’s go.”Justin nodded in agreement and they both entered their car, leaving a fuming Jasmine standing outside.Marcelo, who had been watching the whole scene, shook his head. The two men were just as arrogant as Sebastian.The fault was clearly their driver’s but the two men were too arrogant to accept it.He sighed and entered his car. At least a good thing came out of the whole incident and that was the fact that Justin and Austin were no longer at each other’s throat and they were even riding the same car back to the mansion.After they had left, Jasmine’s mother turned to face her. “You shouldn’t have overreacted like that. I already told you I was fine,” she scolded.“I overreacted?” Jasmine scoffed. “They could have killed you. Just because they are rich doesn’t mean they rule the world.”They do Jasmine or have you forgotten about your grandmother.” as she mentioned her late mother, the woman's face turned grim. Without saying anything else, she turned and headed into her house.Jasmine looked around and saw how her neighbors looked at her in disgust. And once again, she was reminded of the fact that she was an abomination. She groaned and left the scene in anger.Ella wanted to follow her but she knew that Jasmine would want to be left alone and her mother as well. She sighed and took a taxi back to her apartment.Meanwhile in the car, was a fuming Justin who was still unable to believe the fact that the woman had disrespected him.He was the heir of the Gerano and from a young age, everyone including those that were older than him respected and feared him and that was how his life had been.So for someone to disrespect him this much made him angry. Those who tried it had met a very painful death and this woman would not be any different.Austin, who was beside Justin, picked up his phone and called a number. The person answered on the first ring as he had been expecting Austin's call.“Find out everything you can about that woman,” Austin ordered.“Ok Austin,” Marcelo said and hung up.Austin turned to look at Justin who was still visibly angry. “Marcelo is going to find out about that woman. We are going to be seeing our family for the first time in over two years so I suggest you wipe that expression off your face and smile.”Justin said nothing to Austin but his expression softened as he saw them approaching the gates of the Gerano Mansion.He would soon see his mother and sister. Lord knew how much he had missed them and the thought of seeing them brought a smile to his face.Austin noticed Justin smiling and said, “I know I’m handsome but stop dreaming of a future with me. I’m not attracted to ugly men.”Austin’s comment made Justin scowl. “You idiot, we look the same!” he retorted.“Nah, I’m more handsome,” Austin persisted.“Driver, step on it, so I can be far away from this idiot,” Justin ordered irritably.****“Sister in law, the boys have arrived,” Danielle informed.“Ok Danielle, Sebastian and I will be down there in a minute,” Charlotte said. Danielle nodded and left the room.Charlotte turned and faced Sebastian who was sitting on the bed with his head bowed like a criminal who had done something wrong. “Do you love me Sebastian?” she asked.He lifted up his head and looked at her. “What kind of a question is that? Of course I love you,” he answered.“Then please, do not do anything that will ruin the moment,” Charlotte pleaded.“Het, shouldn’t you be telling this to your son?” Sebastian asked, slightly offended that Charlotte requested such a thing from him.“If you mess this up,” Charlotte started, ignoring Sebastian's comment. “I won’t allow you to touch me or get intimate with me for two months,” she threatened.“What?!” Sebastian exclaimed. “That’s not fair. Are you going to punish me again because of our son?” he cried out.“I’ve done it before and I won’t hesitate to do it again if you mess up,'' Charlotte stated.Sebastian bit his lips nervously. He knew Charlotte wasn't joking and that she would carry out her threat. The last time she did it was when she was angry at him for overworking the two heirs.She slept in another room and didn’t allow him near her for over a month and that was the worst phase of his life.In the end, his stubbornness caved in and they reached a compromise. And that was sending them away for two years.“So make your choice. Either you behave or you don’t get to come near me," Charlotte said.“The hell am I letting my son come between us,” Sebastian said. “But your condition cannot be one sided. You also have to make sure he behaves well.”“My son is always at his best behavior,” Charlotte retorted.Sebastian clutched his chest and groaned in pain.“What’s wrong?” Charlotte asked and quickly rushed to his side.“It hurts, my love,” Sebastian said.“What’s hurting you? Should I call the doctor?!” Charlotte asked in fear.“Seeing you love and defend another man hurts,” Sebastian answered.“You fool, do you know how worried I was?” Charlotte asked as she started hitting Sebastian's shoulder in anger. He laughed at how cute she was and that even made her angrier.“My love, as much as I am enjoying this, there are people waiting for us. And I want to teach that brat who is stealing you away from me a lesson,” Sebastian said referring to his son.Third Book in the Billionaire Series.My Marriage is a Contract.Messed with my Arrogant Boss.The Billionaire’s Hidden Legacy"I don’t want to work for you.

It seemed just like yesterday when she met Justin for the first time. She remembered how much she had hated him and how much she wanted to kill him for making her life such a living hell and now, she was getting married to him a few moments from now.Life was truly unpredictable as no one would have ever imagined that the man who was once the cause of her sorrow would be the source of her happiness.“Oh my goodness, you look so beautiful,” her mother exclaimed as she entered the room. “And with that red hair of yours, you’re bound to be the star today,” Hilda praised.“Mom, it seems that you have forgotten about the fact that you also have red hair and about the fact that Arabella is also getting married today," Jasmine pointed out.Yes, Arabella and Austin were also getting married on the same day as Jasmine and Justin. After a lot of deliberation, Charlotte and Danielle decided to have the two couples' wedding on the same day. Arabella and Jasmine had no problems with it neither
Jasmine’s eyes slowly fluttered open, and when she was fully awake, she saw herself staring at a naked chest, the one she had spent the night with.She slowly lifted her head and found a pair of deep blue eyes staring at her with a smile on his face. “Good morning, my love,” he said in a hoarse voice, and he kissed her forehead.“Good morning,” Jasmine answered, and she snuggled closer to him as she enjoyed the warmth that was radiating from his body.“Do you feel sore down there?” Justin asked her.“You kept me up till midnight and showed me no mercy, how do you think I feel?” Jasmine fired at Justin.“Well it’s your fault as you seduced me and made me lose my self control,” Justin quickly defended himself.“How is it my fault?” Jasmine cried out.“You know what you did,” Justin shrugged casually, and he turned and got out of bed, much to Jasmine's displeasure.“Where are you going?” Jasmine asked as she tried her best not to look at his body.Damn, with a body like that, she would n
Jasmine looked at herself in the mirror after the make-up artist was done and she saw that he had done really heavy make-up on her.She sighed resignedly as she didn't want a heavy make-up as she didn't want to go through the stress of removing it later.The dinner would only last for a short while after which she would have to take it off as she wouldn't be able to sleep in her make-up."Thank you," Jasmine said instead of complaining. There was no point in complaining aa the makeup was already done.She then stood up from her seat and headed downstairs to the living room where Charlotte and Jayden were seated watching cartoons. It's said that Jayden had also forced Charlotte into watching cartoons with him."Oh wow! " Charlotte exclaimed when she saw Jasmine. She quickly passed the cartoon and then carried Jayden to go and meet Jasmine." oh honey you look so good "Charlotte complimented and it could be seen from the expression that he meant every word of that compliment."Thank yo
Jasmine opened her eyes and saw that the bed was empty. She got up abruptly and was about to freak out about Jayden not being in the bed when she noticed that Justin wasn't there as well.That meant Justin must have probably taken Jayden. She got out of bed and washed her face before heading downstairs.She heard Justin's and Jayden's laughter coming from the dining table and so she went there."Good morning, Mrs Gerano," Jasmine greeted when she saw Charlotte at the table.Charlotte was about to scold her for being so formal with her but then she remembered that she had promised Justin not to tell Jasmine that he planned to propose to her."Good morning dear, how was your night?" Charlotte asked."It was fine," Charlotte answered."Mama," Jayden said excitedly and he opened his arms so Jasmine could carry him.Jasmine furrowed her brows at Justin. "We've been teaching him a few things," he explained.She nodded and then carried Jayden. "How are you?" She asked and started to play wi
