JASMINE POV.

Nathan gave the salesgirl a slight nod, and without a word, she turned and disappeared into a storage room behind the counter. Seconds later, she returned, holding a white box with a gold ribbon tied around it.

“What’s this?” I asked, my brows pulling together.

“Open it,” Nathan said, the corner of his mouth twitching in a soft smile.

I took the box from the girl and slowly tugged the ribbon loose. The lid lifted easily, and I gasped.

Inside the box was a limited-edition, hand-stitched white dress that had been sold out for weeks.

“Nathan, this is…” I gasped.

“Thank you,” he said, still smiling. I never got to repay you after my guest ruined your dress at my wedding .”

“That was years ago,” I said, gently closing the lid. “And it was just a dress. You don’t owe me anything. Especially not this kind of dress. It’s too much.”

“I don’t think it is,” he replied softly. “You have been through hell, Jasmine. The media tore you apart, and still… you carry yourself like you have

    WILLIAM STONE.“You think I’m a monster, don’t you?” I asked. She looked up from the edge of the bed, still holding her wrist where the rope had left a faint red line. Jasmine blinked, her lips parted slightly before saying . “I—uh… I mean…” she stammered. But she did not finish her sentence. How could she when she saw me for who I truly was? A monster.I stood up so fast the chair screeched behind me. Jasmine flinched. I wasn’t even close to her, and still… she flinched.I turned away, running my hand through my hair. The room felt smaller than it had five seconds ago. Walls pressing in. It “I killed Gloria,” I said again.I looked at my hands. “She needed help, and I walked away. I left her alone with a baby. I thought I was punishing her, teaching her a lesson for what she did to me. But I didn’t care how broken she was.”“What if I kill you too?” I added softer. “What if loving me is a curse? What if…” I shook my head, finally understanding what I had never admitted before. I

    WILLIAM POV.When I checked on her the next morning, Jasmine seemed calmer. She wasn’t crying anymore or trying to kick me in the chest. She asks that I please untie her.Saying the restraints weren’t necessary anymore, and she promised she wouldn’t run, not because she trusted me, but because, in her words, “I’m not strong enough to take down a man twice my size… and even if I tried, you’d catch me.” She was right: she wouldn’t get far before I caught her. So, I untied her.“What happened between you and Judas?” she asked as she rubbed her wrist. “Tell me everything. No more lies. I want to know the whole truth.” Jasmine said. I leaned back against the wooden chair and exhaled.“Okay,” I said. “I will tell you everything.”***********FLASHBACKIt was around the time Jasmine broke his heart. His first heartbreak.William didn’t know what to do with himself. One minute, he had her, the next… she left without a reason and gave him nothing for closure. She disappeared and acted lik

  • WIFE TO A CHEATER BRIDE TO A BILLIONAIRE    CHAPTER 76

    WILLIAM POV.I didn’t need a play-by-play to figure it out. The moment Haley’s message popped up on my phone telling me Jasmine was leaving. I knew she had seen the message.And honestly, I should’ve seen it coming.I should've known when I got to the office and noticed the Messages app was open even though I hadn’t touched it that day. Of course, she had seen something. No wonder she was suddenly acting strange, and I fell for the whole sickness act. It was probably because I thought things were finally back to how I wanted them. Boy, was I wrong.She was already planning to leave without giving me a chance to explain.And when I saw Haley’s texts staring back at me like a slap in the face, I knew Jasmine had read them.I bolted out of the building like it was burning behind me. I ran red lights. I ignored my meeting with several important clients. I didn’t care. I took the turn into the estate so fast I nearly shattered the gate.Because if she walked out that door, I wouldn’t just

  • WIFE TO A CHEATER BRIDE TO A BILLIONAIRE    CHAPTER 75

    JASMINE POV. I zipped up my suitcase and double-checked the envelope of cash I had hidden inside the lining—emergency money. I’d been stacking it little by little over the last few weeks. Deep down, I must have known something like this would happen, that the fairytale wouldn’t last. That the man who made me feel safe would eventually become the reason I needed to run again.The Uber was already on the way.I glanced around the room one last time—the soft bed we’d just shared, the wine-stained glasses still on the nightstand, the throw blanket we used to fight over when watching TV on the couch. Everything about this place looked the same.But nothing felt the same.I grabbed my bag, hoisted it over my shoulder, and headed for the stairs.But as I descended the last step, I froze when I saw William standing at the bottom of the staircase, chest rising and falling like he had run the whole way back. His hair was disheveled, his face glistening with sweat, and his eyes—God, those eyes—

    JASMINE POV. I sat by the window of the coffee shop, my fingers curled around a warm mug I hadn’t taken a single sip from. I had texted Haley as soon as William drove out, asking if she could meet. She didn’t ask why. She just said she would be there.Now, I was counting heartbeats every time the door opened.My stomach twisted with nerves. I didn’t know what I would do with the truth once I had it. Part of me didn’t even want it, not because I didn’t care, but because I was tired. Tired of betrayal and always being one step behind love, Tired of my world crashing down every time I started to feel steady.I bit down on my finger, trying to ease the panic bubbling in my chest.The bell over the door chimed.This time, it was Haley.She walked in wearing oversized sunglasses and a bright green jacket, her hair in a messy bun. She looked like she hadn’t slept, or maybe that was just my guilt projecting.When she spotted me, she gave a small wave and a cheerful smile. I smiled back, tryi

    JASMINE POV. I could not believe it.All this time, I thought Martin and Kimberly were behind the kidnapping. I thought Elora had been dragged into this mess by their greed and obsession with power.And even when Kiara, my ex-best friend told me that the real danger was tied to William… I still defended him. I trusted him.God. I dismissed her so fast. But now it all made sense.The way William refused to involve the police or the press. How he was always trying to control the fallout, how he kept dodging anything that would expose the truth. I thought he was protecting me. But maybe… he was just protecting himself.How many of those attacks had he known about? How many did he let me blame myself for?I gripped the edge of the blanket, fingers curling until the fabric bunched beneath my nails.What the hell was wrong with me? Why did I keep falling for the wrong men? How could I still be so… naive?Martin destroyed me and now William….William lied to me.He stood there, fed me brea
