"Cruella!!" Jasmine screamed as she rushed into the building, breathing heavily.Her eyes frantically scanned the place but she saw no one."Cruella!" She screamed again, her voice fearful and urgent.Suddenly, a loud laughter echoed throughout the building, then Cruella emerged from the back of a truck, clapping her hands."Bravo, Jasmine. Bravo!" She laughed. "For one second I thought you wouldn't make it, and I was about letting them drown your precious twins." Jasmine's eyes burned with fury. "Where are they, Cruella. Give them to me!" She demanded furiously, her body slightly trembling with rage."Fine, but I can't guarantee the safety of any of you." She snapped her fingers and two men emerged from behind the same truck, each holding the twins.When the twins saw their mother, they began struggling with the men holding them, crying and asking them to let them go. With a signal from Cruella, the men let them go, and they instantly rushed into the awaiting arms of their mother.J
Jasmine was still in her room when she heard the sound of a car pulling into the compound. Her heart jumped. She quickly stood up from where she was sitting on the floor and rushed to the window. Her hands shook as she pulled the curtain aside, hoping—just maybe—that Nicolai had brought the twins back.A few seconds later, the car door opened. Nicolai stepped out. Then Kent. She looked hard, praying to see two small figures following them. But no one else came out.She knew it, deep down—but it still crushed her.Her knees felt weak, and she stumbled back from the window. Hot tears spilled down from her face again. The twins were really gone. Cruella had taken them. And there was nothing she could do but cry and hope it wasn't the end.Cruella's words echoed in Jasmine's mind as she wiped her tears and forced herself to stand. Her chest felt tight, but she breathed through the pain, steadying her trembling hands. There was no time to fall apart. Not now. Not when her children needed h
Kent had just returned with the search party. Outside the mansion, Nicolai and Jasmine waited anxiously. The moment Jasmine caught sight of the guard cradling Isabella's lifeless body, she gasped and raised a trembling hand to her mouth, her eyes brimming with disbelief.Nicolai's expression hardened. His voice cut through the silence. "What happened, Kent?""She took her own life." Kent replied solemnly. "It looks like she ingested a large quantity of wolfsbane. By the time we found her, it was already too late."Jasmine shook her head, sorrow creasing her features. "But why? Why would she choose death over coming clean—for someone like Cruella?""Fear." Nicolai answered, his tone heavy with certainty. "I can still smell it on her. She was terrified of what awaited her... and that fear became her prison." He paused, the weight of the moment hanging in the air. "Whatever her sins, see to it that she receives a proper burial."With that, he turned and walked back into the house.Jasmin
The sun shone gently through the tall windows of the dining room, casting a soft light over the table. Jasmine sat quietly across from Nicolai, slowly stirring her tea while he focused on his breakfast. The twins had already left for school, leaving the house quiet for now.The peaceful silence was broken by the sound of footsteps approaching. Kent walked in, his expression brightening as he caught sight of them."Good morning." He said warmly. "It's good to see you both."Nicolai looked up and smiled. "Kent. Please, join us." He said, motioning toward the empty seat at the table.Kent nodded gratefully and sat down. His gaze turned to Jasmine. "How are you feeling?" He asked, his tone gentle. "It's really good to have you back. I can only imagine what you've been through."Jasmine offered a soft smile. "Thank you, Kent. It's good to see you too."At that moment, the maid stepped forward, placing a plate in front of Kent and carefully serving him breakfast. As he picked up his fork, h
Cruella's black car pulled up quickly in front of Stephan's mansion. The tires crunched loudly on the driveway. Stephan was already outside, standing with his arms crossed. He knew she was coming.She stepped out of the car. Her face tight with anger, her eyes sharp and serious.Stephan gave a dry smile. "Cruella. It's been a while. I didn't expect to see you... especially not here. Shouldn't you be with Nicolai?"Cruella didn't return the smile. "I have bad news." She said quietly. "And you're not going to like it."She looked away for a second, then said. "I'll be staying here for a few days. I can't go back to the pack."Stephan's smile faded. "What happened?" Cruella glanced around the yard and said. "Can we go inside first? I'll explain everything."Stephan nodded and opened the door. They walked into his meeting room. The room was quiet, with big maps on the walls and old books on the shelves. They sat down across from each other."I'm listening." Stephan said, his expression d
"Mommy!!!" Amaya and Owen cried out in unison the moment Jasmine stepped through the doorway. Their little hands slipped from Nicolai's grasp as they bolted toward her.Already kneeling, Jasmine opened her arms wide, catching them in a fierce embrace. The instant their tiny bodies collided with hers, tears poured down her cheeks."My babies... my sweet babies." She whispered, her voice trembling with emotion.Amaya and Owen clung to her, their own tears mingling with hers as they buried their faces in her neck."We missed you, Mommy." Amaya sniffled."Why did you go away for so long?" Owen sobbed."I'm so sorry, my love." Jasmine wept, cradling his face gently in her hand. "I never wanted to be away. But I'm here now, and I promise, I'm never leaving again."The staff watched from a distance, eyes glistening at the tender reunion. After such a long absence, Jasmine's return was a balm to their hearts.With a quiet smile, Nicolai stepped forward, his gaze full of affection as he watche
