* Chapter 6 : Date
Jasmine could hear the sound of her heart beating loudly. She took possession of his arm and spoke childishly.
" Pick me up " she stretched out her arms like a child pouting her lips, pulling him a bit stronger. It was only because he wanted to be pulled or else she could not have been able to move him at all.
After all, that was why he spent ten hours every week in the gym.
However, his eyebrows creased upon seeing this.
What was she up to? Is she not supposed to be mad at him for kissing her? Yet she was begging and clinging on him.
" I think I sprained my leg. '' She averted her gaze to her ankle and then at him pouting pitifully. " Please uncle! "
The calm aura s
* Chapter 7: Meeting his family Jasmine froze for some time, memories seeped in a continuous rhythm. Upon seeing the expression on her face, Keith proposed " We could sit that out if you don't like the idea ..." Her mind raced, how could she start over again without making amends for the past? She gagged, a throaty laugh " Grand PADI would spank me if we don't attend. After all, it is our reception" Leaning back, Keith confirmed roaming his hands in his wavy raven-black hair " Are you sure?" Jasmine's hazel eyes gleamed as she stretched out her hand to drink a twig from his glass. " Hundred percent!" Replied without shifting his gaze from the glass she drank from " Then it is settled then ". Keith was still not convinced, he watched her smile steering
* Chapter 8 : Reassuring him Rather than taking her into the hall, he brought her to the garden. She looked up at him in confusion, " I need to speak with a client, wait here" Keith deciphered caressing her cheeks. Jasmine nodded as she took a seat on the swing. Her mind raced as memories of the past rushed in. _ _ Flashback It was seven years ago when she entered this mansion for the first time. At that time, she had been invited over by the Yates. However, she was not interested in respecting the offer but her father persuaded her. She arrived in a stylish t-shirt and torn jeans. She had her hair packed into a clean ponytail. Jasmine had be
* Chapter 9 Happy to see you * Thinking of this, she presided over the pool. Unawares, she felt someone yank her arm. Halting in her steps, Jasmine veered around and saw old master Yates. She intended to bow but the old man pulled her in for a hug. Jasmine reciprocated grand PADI's hug. Jasmine's heart throbbed and her eyes flickered in tears as the dead old man's face overlapped. He was the only Yates apart from Keith who kept tabs on her even after she married Carl. He never hated her and always treated her like his own granddaughter. He would always tell everyone that she was young that's why she constantly made mistakes. Sadly, in her last life, she did not value him till his death. Peeling out of the hug, she asked emotionally " Grand PADI how ar
*Chapter 10 He can't do anything * Striding closer, Carl studied, the facial expression on Jasmine's face. She appeared miserable so it hinted he was still in power. Conceivably, she might be cursing Keith within for beating him. Carl assumed the role of the maltreated boyfriend, who is enduring his pain to make his girlfriend happy. When he saw her he pretended to be sad and then happy, from limping he walked naturally with an effort all over his face to be seen as a victim. His expression did not change, he still had a warm smile on his face and his eyes had that look. The look Jasmine would fall for without any words. Damn! What made her love him? Now the look is so hypocritical. She just wished you her nails to redesign for him. He got closer grabbing Jasmine's hand gently. His touch felt like
* Chapter 11; exposing all vile people * The number of people in the garden had increased. They all stood as if their feet were glued on that spot watching the drama keenly without batting an eyelid so they will not miss a thing. Women had their cameras ready for shooting. Tatie was more than delighted that people were enclosing the area. She had got to clarify this Jasmine her place. As a commoner, she craved to eat her cake and still have it. Impossible!! " How could you be so shameless sister-in-law, here you are seducing my fiance on the night of your wedding reception. OMG, my ears will fall upon hearing this abomination " Tatie screeched, her voice sincere. She took a few steps forward for the sake of drama, she wiped invisible tears at the corners of her eyes with a tissue, and then violently raised her hands to hit Jasmine's face.

* Chapter 12 To prepare for my wedding reception* Jasmine could feel the heavy weight of their stares thankfully she was impervious to their glares. " Will you say something already? " came Tatie's impatient voice. " You are guilty just admit it" she added. " Tatiana! Let her speak" She bristles at this " Thank you, Keith. Tatie here misunderstood everything.." Once again,Carl seized yet another opportunity " Yes, she did! Aunt Jasmine did not mean it, she was not in her right senses" Choosing a laugh, Jasmine asked dabbing a finger into I her chest " Not in my right senses? Do I look drunk? " " Prove it then" Without necessarily raising her voice, Jasmine responded " I don't ha
* Chapter 13 Letting the past go * Closing the space from the outside and the threshold. It was like she was baptized with new emotions, the strong facade she created fell shortly. Trotting to the stairs, Jasmine rode up to Keith's room. Getting in she fell on the rug by the bed tears streaming down her cheeks. The scenes of the night replayed in her head. Jasmine could not tell if she was happy, sad, or remorseful yet could not help but wail. She whimpered bitterly closing her eyes as tears ran down her face speedily. Unaware she felt a hand on her shoulder. It made her freeze, she wiped her tears and then stood up to face the intruder. It was Keith, he stood staring down at her with an ungraspable expression on his face. " Are you okay?" he eventually implored after a lot of staring. He had noticed her going to the house thus he followed her. He was worried she would hurt herself, after all, she watched him trash the love of her life. Though it hurt him t
