The car gradually came to a halt right in front of the garage, while the driver rushed out to open the door of the backseat. Out came the glamorous, flair young man dressed in an ash-colored suit vest with a white shirt, sleeves rolled and ash pants to match, a watch on the left hand with a ring on his pinky finger, a pair of black brogue shoes, some dark shades and a smile to match it all up. He was charming and of a good height. He was none other than Alexander.Alexander Keller is the only child of the owner of the prestigious Marketing Company, Haven Marketing Corporation, Jayden Keller. A man that the nation looks up to which in turn leaves a lot of pressure on Alex, given the fact that his interest is not in the family business, but in music. But who in the world would let that happen? His parents were definitely not the answer.He took off his shades and heaved a sigh as he was escorted to the entrance of the building with other servants handling his belongings behind him. The

Alexander saw the cab that his uncle had ordered for him to use to the airport pulling into the compound. Breaking his gaze from the car as it drove inside, he attempted calling Ivy, but unfortunately, her line was unreachable."Alex, you gotta leave now if you want to make it in time to the airport," his uncle said as he walked into the room that Alex had decided to stay in. He could feel his heart breaking but he knew that Ivy would understand and support him like she used to. He just had to get in touch with her.He followed his uncle as the man walked out of the house. Placing him in the car, they waved at him as the car drove off. Distress became a friend of Alex as he tried severally to reach Ivy but to no avail. As he walked down the passage that led to the airplane, he tried her number again and when she didn't pick up, his heartbeat became fast and he immediately knew that something was wrong.***Alex sat on the comfortable chair that the first-class ticket offered, but the

Jasmine walked back to the road sluggishly and ordered a taxi to take her to her best friend's apartment. Throughout the drive to the apartment, Jasmine didn't take her eyes off the tall buildings and the people who were enjoying their evening, totally clueless about the girl in the car who was slowly losing her mind. A tear dropped from her eye and she wiped it away. Clearing her throat, she made up silly excuses for Alex and consoled herself with them.Bethany, her best friend, didn't ask many questions when she opened the door and saw a wet and crying Jasmine on her doorstep."Oh honey, come here." She said as she drew her in for a hug."My things are in the cab outside. Can you help me get them and also pay the cab man?" Jasmine said when she broke free of the hug."Of course, darling. You get in and dry yourself, okay?" Bethany said as she walked outside to bring her things in.Jasmine knew that Bethany would want to engage her in conversations that would lead to more tears. As

For a moment, Jasmine stood still, with a mix of emotions running through her, a feeling of admiration for the very handsome creature standing in front of her, and a feeling of disappointment, as she was hoping Alex was finally here for her.Liam on the other hand stood in awe at the sight of Jasmine. He felt as though this was the first time he had ever seen such a beauty. But there was something off about her… ‘what on earth could make such a beautiful lady look so sad under the rain?’ He thought to himself.Jasmine's heart fell upon seeing a man that was not Alex. She had expected that somehow, he would show up and everything would be okay, but unfortunately, she wasn't so lucky to have that. She didn’t wait to hear a word from the handsome stranger, she bowed her head in pain, and walked away as disappointment clouded her entire being. She couldn't stop her shoulders from shaking and the tears from pouring out of her eyes.Breaking his gaze from the most beautiful lady he had ever

"Jas, you're scaring me. What's wrong?" Bethany said as she drew closer to her."I could feel his pain, Beth," she responded and the fear in her made her voice come out as a whisper."What pain are you talking about?" Jasmine ignored Bethany's question and slowly turned her head to the white sofa she was sure that would be Alex's favorite chair if he ever met Bethany and gotten into her house. Slowly, her mind drifted from focusing on the chair to wondering about why in her dream, she constantly saw Alex and Liam as close friends and also saw and felt Alex going through so much pain."Jas!" Bethany screamed when she got no response from Jasmine.Turning her face swiftly toward Beth, Jasmine said with a smile. "Let's go back to bed. It was probably nothing."Bethany squared her eyes as she looked at her friend. "It doesn't look that way to me.""Look, Beth, I just had a bad dream and I don't want to talk about it.""Okay," Bethany said as she let go of the topic and turned to her sides

Liam could see the debate going on in her head as he stared into her eyes. He also wanted to spend more time with her and wished that as a result of some miracle, she would agree to go with him.Staring into Liam's eyes and soaking in his facial features made Jasmine know that she wouldn't be able to make a wise decision, so she removed her gaze from his face. Looking down, she said. "That would be very nice, but I really need to get to work. I haven't been in for a couple of days and as nice as my boss is, there is only so much a person can take."When she had finished talking, she raised her head and looked into his sad and disappointed eyes. She had been told that she knew how to decipher a person's feeling by a simple glance, it didn't come as surprise to her after all, every emotion felt by a human being was projected through their eyes and Jasmine had learned quickly to study the eyes."I'm so sorry, Liam," she said as she stretched her hands out and stroked his arm."Hey, it's

Jasmine stared wide-eyed at her boss, Ms. Laura. She blinked her eyes rapidly as she tried wrapping her brain around the statement that the woman just made. Jasmine froze in her seat as she stared at her boss and then, involuntarily, she lowered her head. She placed her hands on her chest as she tried to steady her breathing."Jasmine, are you okay?"'Was she okay?' That was a question that would take hours for her to answer. She was having the worst week of her life and she didn't even know why. She wished the person she had offended would come out of the shadows and tell her what evil she had done, it would be easy for her to apologize. At least, it would be easier than going through a series of heartbreaks in a day."Ms. Sullivan?" Laura said as she shifted awkwardly on her chair to get a better view of Jasmine's head which was bent low. "Ms. Sullivan!" Laura shouted when she still didn't get a response from Jasmine."Yes?" Jasmine raised her head as she finally looked at her boss

"Who is it?" She asked Bethany."If I knew the answer to that question, I won't be grinning this much, Jas. So, tell me, who is he?" Bethany asked while giggling."How am I supposed to know? I haven't even seen the guy," she said and got up from the bed with mixed emotions… Something in her wished it was Alex who had finally looked for her and found her at Bethany’s place. She walked to the door and opened it without looking through the peephole. Jasmine was surprised to see that there was no one out there, she stretched her neck and looked into the hallway, still, she didn't see any figure. Closing the door with a frown on her face, she turned to look at a smiling Bethany."Beth, that is not funny. You know I need my beauty sleep.""I said outside Jasmine, not outside the door.""What are you talking about?""Okay, let me explain it in simpler terms for your tiny brain to understand. A man is waiting for you outside the building and from the looks of it, he must have been standing th

Jasmine pulled away from his arms, averting her eyes to the busy road that paid no attention to her nor her feelings. She avoided looking into Liam's eyes out of fear of what she may find in them. Her insides were restless but she kept a stoic face."What's the matter?" Liam had finally gotten over his disappointment of not kissing her and tried as hard as he could to hide it. He knew that he was unsuccessful in his mission but if she could behave as if nothing happened, he could do the same."Nothing. I just don't think we should be doing this." Her insides burned with a hunger for him but her head kept her sane. What guarantee did she have that he was any different from Alexander Keller? Jasmine conditioned her mind to feel hatred for Alex, and she hated that a tiny part of her wouldn't allow her to feel that way. She still yearned for his touch, still ached to be in his arms, still longed for the sound of his voice, still prayed to hear him laugh. She still wanted him and she wasn'

The beautiful lady, whom Jasmine tried to see in her head as ugly, pulled away from Liam and left his lips glossy from the kiss. Jasmine could feel her temper rising as she stared at both of them. Of course, he was the same as everyone else, there was nothing he could tell her to make her think otherwise. He was rich and handsome, everything a woman wants and she had been a fool to believe that he would settle for only her. Her blood kept rising and her head kept ringing as she thought about it. But it will be over her dead body that she would get up and leave the table for both of them."Valerie?! What the hell was that?!" Liam asked, enraged. Valerie had always been a bit too comfortable in her skin and in getting under the skin of others. Liam had told her over and over again that simply because they were friends, it didn't give her the right to kiss him on the cheek whenever she wanted to."I'm so sorry. I was aiming for your cheeks, but then you turned and I got your lips instead
