*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
* Chapter 14 Evil Shadow * Not far away, an evil shadow was cast on the wall. It watched the couple in hate. As they went down the stairs, everyone's eyes fell on the couple. They watched them in admiration and envy. Jasmine had wiped her face of any makeup yet she was more pretty than ever. A beauty that shone in its innocence. The man beside her took the limelight because of his astounding features. " Here comes the couple of the night " Grand padi declared openly pointing at the couple. They looked so good together that people found it difficult to look away from them. Waiters roamed around with alcohol and non-alcoholic content in glasses on trays. Everyone picked up what they saw suit. Grand Padi seized the stage. A huge smile hung on his lips. He was truly happy, raising his glass he let out " To the newlyweds" " To the newlyweds" the crowd responded swallowing greedily, the contents in their glasses. The couple stood in the center of the invi
* Chapter 15 Special Dance * Grimacing, Therese whined " Mom! Why can I not? No one would see me.." It was simply a bit of alcohol why was her mom against it so much? Lisa felt like strangling her daughter. How could someone with such a high IQ like her give birth to a big fool? It was probably a fault on her husband's side. Covering the vexation on her exterior, she wriggled her finger at a waiter. Obediently the waiter strutted over. Confiscating the glass from Therese she perched it on the waiter's vacant tray. Too, she instructed " Bring us two glasses of orange juice " Beholding her alcohol being taken away, Thérèse thumped her feet on the floor angrily " Mom ..." This made Lisa Yates lose her cool. She rebuked in rage still managing to retain the smile on her face while hiding her gritted teeth " Stop acting childish now. It is enough! You've lost focus on why we are still here " At this time, after much thinking, Thérèse face lit up. For she understoo
* Chapter 16 Kill her at one strike* The lady in black strides was subtle. Waiting for the perfect moment she stood still. As soon as it arrived she tossed her arm backward directing the dagger with a mahogany handle into Jasmine's neck. Immense in the beautiful steps of the trainer in the video, Jasmine followed keenly endeavoring to memorize each step and the story told by the ancient dance. Midway through the video froze. She sighed tapping to replay when she noticed a dagger aiming for her neck a reflection from the screen of her phone. Her eyes widen at the frightful side, and with a sharp scream, she ducked. As Jäs put her arms over her forehead and instantly shut her eyes. She concluded she was going to harm her, however, the long-awaited pain did not follow. Rather she felt a set of big hands bringing her up and pulling her into a hug while soothingly patting her back. How could she not recognize the scent? Her knight in shining armor. Cracking her eyes open, w
* Chapter 17 Couldn't resist! * " I will repay with a kiss " she repeated flaunting a goofy smile. Keith's brows knitted as his eyes narrowed ogling at this naive girl bribery him with a kiss. Sure, he was enticed to go along but he was not convinced whether she understood what she was getting herself into. Lifting a brow he pestered " Are you sure about this? " Rubbing the back of her neck, Jas found herself mumbling holding by tongue tight " I- i " Forthwith, Jasmine's heart rocked against her ribcage. She restrained her moist palms behind her back. Seeing her demeanor, the light in his eyes dimmed. A few seconds later; the words came out slowly from his mouth " Jasmine you are not ready so why fake it?" Hesitating for while she moved ahead trying to assemble an intrepid front. She tipped her chin, raising her shoulders to look brave. " I am! " She could tell by the way his eyes lit up that he’d made up his mind. Panicking she grabbed his arm " Pl
