CHAPTER 71
Jasmine's POV My stomach lurches at his request while I continue to watch him with folded arms, hoping for a spark of warmth, love and comfort in his blue eyes.But there is nothing.They are just hard and cold. Reminding me of the man who kidnapped me four months ago from Chicago.It feels like the Xavier I fell in love with is different from that man.His so-called brother on the other hand is still gaping at him, making me irritated. I don't know if this irritation is from the mere fact that he had a thing with Andre or because I am still mad from last night.Xavier isn't even trying to make me feel better. The jerk is pretending as if nothing happened.What exactly does he mean by asking me to accompany Alex to Andre's place? I am tempted to tell him a big NO. I want to defy him for once but on second thought, I want to use this to my advantage.I should see Mr. Moore.It is still early and if we can leave now, I should be able to see him.Without a word, I walk past both men; X

CHAPTER 72
Andre's POV One touch from this man, no matter how small, always manages to send me reeling. When he rests his forehead on mine, electricity shoots down my spine, making the rest of the world fade away and bringing tears to my eyes. I fucking miss him. I thought I was never going to see him again. I was worried he would be damn mad at me for running off. Now that I am seeing him even though I don't know how he managed to come here, the first thing I did was to slap him instead of hugging the hell out of him. Someone clears her throat and my gaze shifts to my look alike. She is the replica of me. Her eyes, face and body. The only difference is the hair and the way she is watching us. I don't look at people that way. Also, she seems smaller and timid. Just then, it hit me. Alex came here with her. How come? Did he mistake her for me too just like how Xavier did? I step away from Alex who is grinning from ear to ear. "What…" I trail off pointing from him to her. I can't re

CHAPTER 73
Xavier's POV I feel sick as I circle the pool, the memory of how Jasmine fell into the pool the day we left for Italy rushing into my head.I've not been myself all morning. I've been so restless.At first, it felt as if something was going to happen but when I entered our bedroom this morning and saw Jasmine lying on her back and scrolling through her phone, relief washed through me.But the dreadful feeling is still there.I don't know how long I have to hope for this. Even though I know the reason for this feeling.Sebastian.The fact that he is out there and can strike at any more scares me. The fact that we can't trace him or any of his men.I just want Jasmine to be saved. When he is out of the way, I know I won't feel this way anymore. She will be safe. I would have fulfilled my promise of protecting her from Vicenzo or anyone relating to him.Realizing that she ought to be back, I check the wristwatch on my wrist.It is almost 2 pm already and they have been gone for two hour

CHAPTER 74
Jasmine's POV The car won't budge even after several horns from the driver.It makes me lean forward to take a look but I can't see anyone from the car. The glass is tinted black.Grayson presses the horn again before throwing the door open. I know instantly that he wants to confront them.I would have stopped him but I know we might not get out of here if he doesn't confront whoever is in the car. I am supposed to be home already but I choose to go to a bookstore to get a book before asking Grayson to drive me home.If Alex gets home before me, there would be trouble. I know Xavier will be mad at me and I don't want that.I am the angry one and I want to continue being the one angry at him.I watch Grayson knock on the car door, waiting for the person in the driver's seat to open but there is no reply.I furrow my brows in confusion. Just then, Grayson touches the back of his jeans and I see a gun appear.What the hell! Why is he coming out with a gun? This person is not a threat.

CHAPTER 75
Xavier's POV There is a missed call from Jasmine.While instructing the men on what to do, my phone rang but ignored it without knowing it was Jasmine.Without a second thought, I dialed her number back but it was unreachable. Just before I can try again, her call comes in again and I pick up.But I can't hear a word."Are you there?" I inquire in curiosity, wondering why she chose to keep quiet instead of saying something.Before I can disconnect the call and call back, a shot rings out followed by a scream. From a familiar female voice.My heart begins to thump wildly within my rib cage when the reality dawns on me. It's a trap.Or perhaps a plan. A well-structured plan.The spy is either meant to take note of who goes in and out of the mansion or to help divert my attention and that of the guards away so they could have access to the house."Jasmine!" I yell, grabbing my hair in frustration, the phone still glued tightly to my ears.What the hell is happening? Where is she?"Boss

CHAPTER 76
Jasmine's POV With the darkness enveloping me, I don't know how long I passed out. When I try to move, I realize I have been tied.Of course, I would be tied, I say to myself inwardly. I have been kidnapped and being tied is inevitable.There is also a blindfold over my eyes and another thing over my mouth stopping me from making any sound.The only thing I can do is to try to move, which is completely futile.After a while, I give up, letting out a deep sigh of defeat. I might not escape this. Sebastian will make sure of that.Xavier might never be able to find me. Even though he promised to protect me from Sebastian, he might never be able to stick to his promise.I'm sure Alex is in trouble. Xavier will blame him for letting me go all by myself. To be honest, I didn't give this a thought. It didn't cross my mind for a second that Sebastian would get to me today of all days. I was uncomfortable in that damn place and I needed out.Knowing that the love sick Alex needed time with h

CHAPTER 77
Xavier's POV Sebastian's phone location says otherwise.He isn't as smart as I am thinking. Sending me an address different from where he currently has Jasmine isn't smart enough.Why does he even think he could send me an address and have me rushing off there? I know he would never send me his real location.He sent me a different one so he could lay an ambush for my arrival. I know that right and I want to prove to him that I am no kid in this business.I am a boss.I am not surprised he wanted Vicenzo dead. Anyone would want him dead but I am sure Sebatian's reasons are for a selfish reason.I made it easy for him but I vow to make him pay by joining Vicenzo in hell.As I watch David work on the laptop, beeping as Sebastian's real location appears on the screen, a grin spreads across my face.The spy he sent is battered. I am still keeping him because of the information I want to get from him about Jasmine and Sebastian's location.This is not just about saving Jasmine. I need to

CHAPTER 78
Jasmine's POV A small smile forms on his lips when I flutter my eyes open to meet his. He is rocking back and forth on the same chair from earlier.Wait!How long have I been here? Did I fall asleep or pass out again? Was I kidnapped yesterday or has it been days?Realizing Xavier clearly told him he wasn't going to come save me, uneasiness set in. I know I don't want him to come so he won't fall into Sebastian's trap but I was hoping something would happen.Something miraculous.Obviously, I am still stuck here and might be stuck here forever.But I know I don't want Xavier to come and end up being killed. I would rather have myself serve Sebastian than watch Xavier being punished for everything that has happened.He is a proud man. He won't come just like he said.I try so hard to remain calm and satisfied with the thought that he won't come even though my insides are in turmoil.Sebastian stops rocking the chair and stands up, strolling casually towards me, the smile still on his

CHAPTER 79
Jasmine's POV When his body goes limp, my heart jumps into my chest. This is when I realize he is holding onto my left hand with his right.So tightly.But he isn't breathing."Xavier", I jerk his shirt, hoping he would open his eyes and smile at me and tell me this is over. But he isn't moving. He isn't breathing. His hands are becoming cold and finally, his grip on my hand slackens.With trembling hands, I continue to jerk him back and forth, tears rolling down my eyes and falling onto his pale face."Xavier, no. Don't do this to me", I let go of his shirt and hug his body to mine. "Please stay with me. I promise never to be out of your sight henceforth. I won't leave anymore. Just stay!"I know I am screaming with every ounce of energy in me, even though I have been battered and starved. But I don't care.What I care about right now is Xavier opening his eyes. I don't need him to say a word to me. I just want him to open his eyes and smile at me. When the realization dawns on me

Xavier's POV Blood is trailing on the floor where I shot Sebastian several times but he isn't dead. There is a glint of amusement in his eyes which makes me feel mocked.Anger surges through me as I try to raise my hand and shoot him again till those glints are no longer there and what remains is the cold expression of a dead man.But my hands are stiff.They aren't moving.Sebastian begins to laugh like a maniac. His voice rings a bell in my head, making adrenaline rush down my spine.Still, I can't move. I am transfixed to one spot.I turn around and I see another version of Sebastian behind me. He is shot too but he is also laughing.I became confused.What the hell is happening?When I look to the front, he is still there. I shake my head, wondering if this is just my imagination.Sebastian ought to be dead. I promised to kill him. I promised Jasmine. I can't let him get away with kidnapping her. I can't let this repeat itself. He needs to die.A surge of energy rushes through me
