chapter 18- The headlines

By the time they were done with the first round of wedding preparations, Jasmine felt like her legs were about to fall off. They’d chosen rings, flowers, decorations, and even the jewelry.

When Evelyn finally dismissed everyone, it was already a little past noon. Barbara stretched her back dramatically.

“I need to start working on the invite list,” she sighed. “Jasmine, go home and rest before you collapse.”

Jasmine smiled gratefully. “Trust me, I plan to.”

Alice walked over, linking her arm through Jasmine’s like they’d known each other for years.

“Tomorrow is cake tasting and wedding dress,” she said excitedly. “and I'm going to come with jasmine to make sure you guys get a chocolate wedding cake and pick the perfect wedding dress .

“Alice,” Alex warned gently.

“What?” she shrugged. “I’ve never had a sister-in-law before. Let me enjoy myself.” She whispered, “Plus she’s not Mia, so I’m extra happy.”

Alex smirked and Jasmine laughed.

  • Taming the billionaire playboy    CHAPTER 39_This wall will break

    CHAPTER 39— This wall will break Jasmine was still staring at the tablet in front of her when the knock came again. Not rushed. Not hesitant. Certain. Her fingers tightened around the stylus. She didn’t have to look up to know who it was. “Come in,” she said anyway, forcing steadiness into her voice. The door opened, and Alex stepped inside like the room already belonged to him. Suit jacket gone. Tie loosened. Sleeves rolled up, exposing forearms that had no business looking that distracting. too distracting for someone supposed to be working. He closed the door behind him with a soft click. Not loud. “How are you settling in?” he asked, voice easy, conversational—too normal for the way his eyes lingered on her face. “Be honest.” She leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms, creating distance where she could. “Overwhelmed. Excited. Slightly terrified.” A corner of his mouth lifted. “That’s a good mix. Means you care.” She scoffed lightly. “Or that

    CHAPTER 38- The deal with the devil Alex and Jasmine stepped out of the conference room side-by-side, both wearing calm smiles that hid the storm that had hit them minutes ago. The employees waiting outside instantly straightened. Phones lowered. Postures tightened. Conversations died abruptly. And together—like a perfectly coordinated power couple—they walked out as though nothing had happened. Alex nodded politely at the staff. Jasmine returned every greeting warmly, her professionalism glowing. If anyone had heard raised voices earlier, they would never guess. They looked steady. Composed. Untouchable. Once the elevator doors closed, Jasmine finally let out a breath. Alex glanced at her, a small smile tugging at his lips. “You handled that well.” She rolled her eyes but couldn’t hide the little smile. “I had no choice.” “I can make things easier for you, you know,” he murmured. “And yet you never do,” she joked quietly. He huffed a soft laugh. The elevator opened to an

  • Taming the billionaire playboy    CHAPTER 37

    CHAPTER 37- Is everyday this dramatic The walk out of Alex’s office felt like wading through fire. Employees pretended to work, eyes glued to their screens, but everyone was listening. Everyone saw Mia. Everyone saw Jasmine’s stiff posture, the coldness in Alex’s expression, the unfamiliar tension sparking between the newly introduced “power couple.” Jasmine didn’t slow down. She didn’t look back. She was quite sure that one of two of them had posted everything on tik Tok and she was already thinking of excuses. Her steps were quick, controlled, steady—almost too steady. Alex followed behind her like a shadow, or like her bodygraud. “Jasmine—” he tried softly. She kept walking. “Jasmine.” The third time, he reached out and touched her wrist. She froze—not because she wanted to, but because her heart reacted before her head did. He gently pulled her into a small private conference room and shut the door behind them. The silence was sharp. Jasmine crossed

  • Taming the billionaire playboy    Chapter 35 -I'm on my way

    Chapter 35 - I'm on my way Jasmine didn’t flinch. She didn’t gasp. She didn’t cry. She didn’t even blink at Mia standing there half-dressed like she’d walked out of a cheap drama series. She just lifted her chin. Cold. Calm. Like the whole scene was beneath her. Alex, on the other hand, looked like someone had lit a fuse inside him "jasmine". But Jasmine lifted a hand. “It’s okay.” Alex spun toward her. “Jasmine—no, it’s not—” She shrugged like her heart wasn’t cracking in half. “I’m just your contract wife, remember? I don’t care what you do or who you do it with.” Her voice was steady. Only her eyes betrayed her. She turned to leave. Alex grabbed his phone instantly. “Caroline. Come to my office. Now.” His secretary rushed up seconds later, nearly stumbling. “You see this?” Alex’s voice was dangerously calm. “If you EVER let Mia into my office again, you’re fired.” Caroline nodded frantically. “Yes, sir! I’m so sorry—she said she had your perm

    Morning came far too quickly. Sunlight slipped through the curtains like it owned the place, warm and golden
 completely opposite of the atmosphere inside the penthouse. Jasmine woke up feeling like she’d barely slept. Correction: she hadn’t slept. Her brain spent half the night replaying everything. The kiss that almost went too far. The argument. Her saying they should stay out of each other’s lives. His silence. Her heart felt like a fist had been squeezing it for hours. She sat up, rubbing her face. “Great,” she muttered. “Another day of being a complete disaster.” After a long inhale, she pushed herself off the bed and opened the door. And immediately froze. Alex was there. But not the usual polished, controlled Alex. This Alex sat on the couch, hair messy, dark circles under his eyes like he didn’t sleep either. A half-finished glass of water sat on the table. His phone lay untouched next to him. He looked
 Tired. Human. He glanced up when he heard her footst

  • Taming the billionaire playboy    chapter -34: just one day

    chapter -34: just one day Jasmine’s breath hitched the moment their lips brushed. For a second—just a second—she let herself melt into the warmth of it, the closeness, the unfamiliar softness of being wanted
 or whatever this was supposed to be. But something snapped inside her. No. This wasn’t real. This wasn’t love. This wasn’t anything she had earned or deserved or even understood. She jerked back so fast Alex blinked, stunned. Jasmine took two shaky steps away, touching her lips like they were burning. Her heart thundered so loudly she wondered if he could hear it. Alex frowned and reached out, fingers brushing her wrist gently. “Jasmine
 hey. What’s wrong?” His voice was low, confused, almost soft. She pulled her hand out of his grasp. “Stop.” “Stop?” His brows drew together. “What did I do?” “You know exactly what you did.” Her voice trembled—not with fear, but with the kind of anger born from hurt. Alex blinked again, thrown off. “Jasmine, if this is
