Jasmine Vargas accepted Mark Morelli's proposal because he was a good man who she believed would make her always happy. But everything took a different turn when she crossed paths with Tristan Morelli once again. Tristan Augist de Morelli, Mark’s older brother, is a stark contrast to his brother. Tristan, Italy's wealthiest billionaire and the president of the Cassa di Morelli. She remembers him as a deceitful mobster who took her innocence and callously left her the following day. His arrival five years ago caused havoc in Jasmine's life. It was Tristan who leaked her identity to the 'Lopez', leading to her bestfriend being murdered. Now all Jasmine wants is to avoid meeting the man who has ruined her life because she knows Tristan wants to complete his unfinished mission of destroying her family's cartel. A true hedonist, Tristan Morelli is wrapped up in all the splendor of nature. Unlike Mark, Tristan is darker, colder, and more intoxicating. His confidence is powerful, and his undeniable charm and irresistible attraction make him a dangerous temptation. Jasmine finds herself grappling with his irresistible charm and the destructive cycle he drags her into. Every attempt to push him only strengthens his obsession. Her resistance seems to fuel his desire even more. Tristan's relentless nature awakens a deep darkness in Jasmine, a side of her she never knew was there. In the midst of struggling with her demons, Jasmine is determined not to let him be her ruin. Will she find the strength to break free from Tristan's grip, or will she give in to the darkness he brings into her life? Moreover, he’s the catalyst for all the chaos that destroyed her life five years ago. Will Jasmine once again lose herself and let Tristan wreak havoc on her life?
View More"This is very good, Mark." His family villa was on the beach, which gave a beautiful view of the sunset and the calm ocean in the distance. This villa was no different from Xavier's house, but I preferred and was comfortable at Xavier's place because it was my brother's house.I stepped slowly onto the balcony while Mark dropped one of my backpacks on the sofa. "Thank goodness. I was afraid that this view would disappoint you.""Nothing is disappointing about the beach. I love the beach." I replied, turning to him.He looked surprised. "You like the beach? I thought you liked forests,""I like both," I replied, tilting my head. "I've already told you about that.""I forgot, baby." He leaned closer, kissing my forehead. "How about we get ready so we can go straight to the party?" he offered.I nodded while holding back the slight disappointment in my heart. Damn it, I knew all about him. I still remember not liking the beach or the forest. He never paid attention to nature like me. He
"Tell me how you cried?" Maya asked when I had just come out of the room. She was sitting at the dining table with her laptop in front of her.I shrugged. "I'm not crying. No one cries." My aunt was crying hard, but it was just an act because after we got home and Grandma entered her room, she gave me the biggest smile ever."Your grandpa must be proud that you guys are that strong." She quipped.I laughed. "Yeah, he didn't want anyone to cry when he died," I replied as I stepped towards the kitchen counter and made coffee.Our apartment was a wide one-room style, so the living room and kitchen were only separated by a short partition. Then, there were only three rooms: my room, Maya's room, and the food storage. It was so different from the shabby, cramped apartment we had in Juarez. I had tried to keep things different from what we had in Juarez five years ago."Do you want coffee?" I asked."No. I'll just buy it on my way to work." She replied. "I've also made six sandwiches and
"When are you going back to California?" Papa asked as we relaxed in the living room. I rested my head on Papa's shoulder while Mama was on his other side, busy with her phone, her feet on Papa's lap, and Papa massaging her feet."On Friday," Theo replied. He sat back without turning his head, still looking at his tablet. "I have a flight to San Diego, and they're coming with me," said Theo, my second brother. He is a pilot working for the airline owned by Papa. "Maybe we'll take a short vacation at Xavier's house."Xavier, who was playing a game with Aaric, snorted loudly. "You think I'll let you?""Whether you do or not, we're going there anyway." I replied.Aaric whistled in agreement and Xavier smacked him lightly on the head."Don't be stingy with your siblings, Xavi," Mama said lowly, shaking her head. "Be a good big brother.""You're the oldest here and you're still immature." Papa chuckled and shook his head while Xavier pretended not to hear and continued playing GTA on the P
"A woman was found dead in her room two hours ago. The police are trying to investigate." The female reporter's voice became a summer background. I leaned against the kitchen at home, staring at the television screen that Papa had deliberately placed at the far end of the kitchen.The reason is because Mama likes to spend time in the kitchen when Papa is busy outside with his work, Mama likes to cook, make cakes, make snacks when she is bored. Not wanting to make Mama even more bored, Papa put another television in the kitchen. An act of love that set the standard for me when I was looking for a man.We grew up in a Colombian mafia cartel family, but our family was far from the stereotype that people grew up with. There was no violence in our family. It probably started with the sweet gestures Papa always made to Mama. Anyone could see the love in Papa's eyes for Mama, and then that love poured out on us, their four children. Plus, being the only daughter in Papa's family, I was alway
I joined the bustle at the pub as a bartender while one of my housemates, Maya, paced back and forth with orders. It was a big pub, but most of the people who came were gang members or people involved in criminal activities. Occasionally, a recently released prisoner would be seen here, too.This city was full of danger, but I was used to it. The life I grew up in was always surrounded by the dark business our family ran. Although Papa had kept the female members of our extended family away from this business, Abuelo or Grandpa, didn't care.Usually, he wanted us girls to serve as bait to trap men from enemy cartels, getting them killed at the hands of his men. This method always worked one hundred percent.However, this mission was different. He only wanted me to monitor the activities of the Lopez family, the cartel that controlled this town, and report everything to him. To do that, I had to live among them, disguised as part of the lives of Maya and Bianca, two women who had becom
"Don't screw up, Jas." My grandfather's low voice echoed from our mutually connected calls. "We're screwed if this mission fails, and I'm not sure you'll survive."Perfect, Abuelo. That's very motivating.I closed my eyes, the wind blowing my hair loose. "I know. I'm trying." I said. "And I'll remind you that I never agreed to get into this game."'Tis already done," he replied calmly as if it wasn't him who forced me right at the senior high school graduation ceremony. "This has to be done. I'll be at Blooms tomorrow at two in the afternoon. You have to be there.""What about Papa, Mama and my brothers?""Your family still thinks you're on campus. If you don't mess up, our mission won't be exposed," he said.I hoped they would somehow find out what Grandpa had ordered me to do. Only they could stop my his ambition to control the Mexican cartel, which is why I had to be stuck in Juarez for six months."Understood," I said, and then he disconnected our call.I stared ahead, at the neig
