Jasmine's Pov The deafening bass of the blaring music slowly faded into a slow, soft song that hummed beneath my ribs, but it did nothing to calm the storm brewing in my heart. Because the dead rose was still in my palm, its petals dried and wilted like something that had already given up. And that tag… that damn message on the tag that read: “I've been watching you rebuild. It would be a shame… to break you again. Just like the rose in your hand, they die when crushed, and you, Jasmine, would be like that rose.Soon.”It shouldn't have, but a cold shiver crawled up my spine, just as a voice brushed the back of my neck. I took a deep breath to steady myself and couldn't help but wonder why today had to be weird. The voice was low, unhurried, and all too familiar. “Seems someone finally received the package I sent… after so many rejections.”For a heartbeat, every muscle in my back locked and recognition punched through me so fast I forgot how to breathe.Lowering himself, he to

Enoch’s pov“You're not the one who usually answers the door. But are you Mrs Smith?” he asked in a clipped professional tone, glancing down at the name maybe to check if he asked right. “Yes, I am.”“Good. Your order has arrived. I'll need payment and your signature to complete delivery.”Payment?I straightened immediately, tension crawling up my spine. Thinking about it now, I've not really paid attention to my mom's health, all thanks to Jasmine. I'd been so busy with starting my own company that I let her handle almost everything. “It's fine. I'll handle it,” I said, moving towards them. The man's eyes narrowed. “And you are—?”“Oh, he's my son,” my mother replied proudly. His stance eased, and he handed me the clipboard. “Then, that's even better. In that case, sign here… and here. Total is listed at the top.”I frowned, thinking why he said it's better I was the one… but that's not what I need to start thinking right now. I barely glanced down, and the numbers slapped me ha

Enoch's Pov:“Mom, how many times do I have to tell you I can't go out because I don't have a fucking car?!” I thundered down the stairs, dragging frustrated fingers through my hair. Every step felt like it was grinding against the last nerve I had left. Why was this so damn hard for her to understand? Maybe I'd consider sleeping at the office from now on. Mother followed behind me, voice raised in that shrill, dramatic pitch she used whenever things weren't going her way. “Then get another one already! Even a better one to spite that Jasmine bitch! Moreover, I have the women's meeting event coming up soon and I can't afford to be seen flagging down a taxi!”I spun around so fast she nearly walked into me. My jaws clenched. “Mom… I'm trying, okay?” I hissed, half whisper, half shout, hoping maybe lowering my tone would finally drill the truth into her head. “But it just seems like the auto stands in the whole city of San Francisco suddenly increased their prices. But I'll keep tr

Jasmine's Pov I pushed open the boardroom doors and nearly collided with Derek. Of course he was standing there, leaning casually against the wall like he was posing for a luxury cologne ad. Handsome and impeccable as always, he looked nothing short of a model straight out of a magazine. Tall, sharp-jawed and annoyingly perfect. But I still rolled my eyes at him. Hard. “Took you long enough,” I huffed, brushing past him. “So much for a short call.”He pushed himself off of the wall, guilt flickering across his stupidly handsome face. “I'm sorry, sis. Really. Something important came up.”“Oh?” I shot back. “More important than your sister who just returned to save the kingdom after two years?”“That's not fair,” he protested softly. “It wasn't more important than you… it was my girlfriend.”I didn't make it three steps before my curiosity yanked me right back around. “Hold on.” I folded my arms. “Girlfriend? Since when?”Derek winced… winced like a man caught in a lie he never int

Jasmine's Pov “Argent Dynamics,” I repeated, my brow arching up. “Samuel Argent specifically asked to see me?” She nodded crisply. “Yes, ma'am. He's been…rather persistent.”Rhea’s words, spoken so professionally, made my pulse stutter. What's it, three years already? The thought of seeing him again made something cold crawl up my spine. I couldn't… no. I wouldn't let him face me. Not yet. “Then handle it yourself, like you always do,” I ordered, keeping my tone even. “I tried to ma'am,” she continued hesitantly, her eyes raising up to meet mine. “But he said it was a matter of mutual interest… and that the discussion should be with you. Directly.”The way she said ‘directly’ made my breath hitch. A slow breath escaped me as I leaned back in my chair, forcing composure over the storm building inside. Of course he wouldn't let go that easily. He never did. If he was persistent, then I was going to meet him anyway. “Schedule a meeting with him tomorrow evening.” Whatever I felt at

Jasmine's Pov Derek placed his long index finger on the start button and the car came to life. He handed me an uncapped bottle of water, and then pressed on the accelerator. Putting on my safety belt, I took a sip before going through one of the many documents that I needed to go through. “So what's your call? Should I just start pulling out our collaboration with Star Tech company?” Derek asked before focusing his gaze on the road. The expression on my face scrunched up in mock confusion. “Sorry, remind me what Star Tech is again?” Derek briefly glanced at me with a confused gaze. “Um, Enoch's startup tech company?” “Ohhhh,” I dramatically gasped, acting like I just recalled what it was, and who owned it as if I had no prior knowledge about it before, and honestly, that's what it seems now. If Enoch could go low, then I could go even lower than he did. Derek frowned. “You're not acting like the sister I used to know,” and then chuckled. “What's with this new high?”I rolled m
