It was as if a wrecking ball had hit Justin in the chest with how heavy it was upon hearing that Jasmine had been kidnapped.“How did it happen?” Austin asked on behalf of Justin as the latter looked really mad to even say anything.“Well, she had come out of the building and just as she was about to approach me, a white van came out of nowhere and parked in between us and the next thing I knew was that she was no longer there,” Cole explained.Justin put his hand on the bridge of his nose trying to get himself to calm down. The urge to kill Cole for failing to protect Jasmine was burning through his bones. But that wouldn't do anything to change the fact that Jasmine had been kidnapped.“Did you manage to get the plate number of the vehicle?” he finally managed to ask. Even though he didn't show much of an expression on his face, his menacing tone showed how angry he was.At this point, another guard who was holding a tablet stepped forward. “I managed to get the plates but it is of

“Come, sit, let me clean your wounds,” Justin said. Beside him was a first aid kit which wasn’t there earlier. That meant he had left to get it after she entered the bathroom to change.“I can clean it myself,” Jasmine said, refusing to move an inch from where she was standing.“I said sit!” Justin snapped in a sharp voice. Couldn’t this girl just listen to what he said without him having to get irritated.Jasmine didn’t know when her legs moved towards Justin. She sat down on the couch and Justin immediately got busy with cleaning her wounds.She wordlessly watched as he applied an ointment to her bruise. His touch felt so gentle to her skin as opposed to the cold way he acted towards him. The bartender’s words suddenly came to her mind. ‘He is probably battling with his heart and mind.’Even though he was mean to her, he would always come rushing to save her. Yet he would still act cold to her. Just pick one to follow; the heart or the mind.Justin was so focused on her wounds that

“What do you want to eat?” Justin asked Jasmine as they returned back to his car. This made Jasmine a little surprised. Was Justin really that considerate or did he have something up his sleeve? “What?” Justin asked when he saw the suspicious look Jasmine was giving him. “Why are you being so nice to me?” Jasmine asked suspiciously.“Why can’t I be so nice to my darling girlfriend especially after she had a terrible day?” Justin replied.Jasmine rolled her eyes at his words. Did he really think she was a fool? “First off, I’m not your girlfriend, secondly, you have no soul so no you can’t be nice,” she answered bluntly.Justin gasped and clutched his chest pretending that he was hurt by Jasmine’s words. “Whether you like it or not, you are my girlfriend and secondly, I do have a soul. I wouldn’t be doing so much for you if I didn’t.”Jasmine rolled her eyes one last time and got into the car. She was very tired and not in the mood to argue with Justin; a game she was sure to lose

Ella arrived at the Gerano company fifteen minutes later. She didn't need to wait at the reception like she didn't at Isabella's company as she already knew which floor Austin's office was and so she headed straight to the private elevator.She arrived on the floor where Austin's office was moments later and after speaking to the receptionist she was told that she could go to Austin's office.Thankfully Isabella had already called beforehand and told them that somebody from her company would be coming there and so the receptionist didn't give her much trouble like the one she had encountered earlier.After getting directions from the receptionist, she finally arrived at Austin's office. She took a deep breath before knocking on the door. She heard a familiar voice telling her to come in.She took another deep breath before entering Austin's office. She saw him sitting at his desk and reading some files. He was so engrossed in the files that he didn't even bother to look at who had en

Jasmine reminisced about the past. Whenever she would celebrate happy occasions with her mother, she would always wish her father was there with her. Papa bear was the closest she had to experiencing fatherly love.While Jasmine was busy reminiscing about her past, Justin mind was trying to find a loophole in the ‘papa bear’s’ story. Who was this person and why was he sending Jasmine gifts?Well he knew why but WHY?The sound of the doors opening brought them both out of their thoughts. They came out and headed straight to their car. Just as they were about to enter their car, someone called Jasmine.She turned towards the direction where the caller’s voice had come from and saw her elder brother Chase walking towards her and beside him was none other than Chloe. 'How so unexpected,' Jasmine muttered sarcastically to herself. Even though Chase wasn't as brutal and sinister as his mother and sister, he wasn’t much different from them. He would always allow his friends to bully her a
