Jasmine POVI woke up from the blaring sound of my ringtone. Yesterday's shoot had ended perfectly but late.Drowsy I reached out for the phone but Arianna beat me to it. "Hello," she answered, stamping her feet impatiently."Good morning, Jazz, how was your night?," I heard him ask after Arianna put him on speaker."It was great until you called," Arianna blurted and I snickered. "Oh, I apologize for the disturbance. I just wanted to remind her of the press conference that would take place at the Lavine hotels & suite by 9am today," he mentioned and Arianna rolled her eyes."Yeah, I know that Mr Lavine please restrain me from taking up my duty. Jazz will surely be present for the press conference on time. I have scheduled and prepared already," Arianna waved the phone trying to suppress her irritation."Please don't tell me how to do my job Jazz is my number one priority and I would do all it takes to promote her career, Mr Lavine", "I don't mean to sound like manager Arianna.

Asphalt POVI Drummed my fingers on my desk as I pondered on what happened last night at the hotel. The way Jazz had carried those kids away and how they resembled me in a way disturbed me.Last night I had tried to trace possible dots that Jazz was jasmine but no matter how many times I thought of it, there was no way for me to prove that she was the one.And if truly she was the one, I had no idea of bringing her back not after I married her sister.I remembered that night vividly, after Jasmine had delivered. It felt surreal that I had finally become a father but after she went missing, my joy became a nightmare.There was no night I didn't think of her and the child. And the more I pondered on them, I felt disgusted with myself. I was no different from my mother at all. And it hurt me that I had behaved like her. Throwing away a blessing that was right in front of me because of my obsession and selfishness.A knock sounded on my door and I unlocked it Knowing that it was Gilbert.

Jasmine POVA week later, I had perfectly avoided Asphalt. By doing my job and leaving immediately. I didn't want to engage in any form of conversation with him. Asphalt was sharp minded and he could easily notice things.I got out of my bed following the flow of the delicious aroma that engulfed my noise. It was seven in the morning and my family was already preparing breakfast."You guys really know how to tease my nose in this house. What are you guys cooking?," I asked, joining them in the kitchen."We are making french cinnamon toast and waffles," Emil answered while Emilia spread cheese on the bread that was in front of her. "I'm making a cheese sandwich for you mommy," she said and I pecked both of them on the cheek.Arianna was the chief chef and she was making scotch eggs and bacon. My favorite breakfast that goes down with a nice creamy coffee."Good morning, my super star. How was your night?," She dished some food onto my plate."Thank you, it was great. How was your nigh

Jasmine POV"No, don't do that. Please come down Emil. Yes, Mommy loves you," I scrambled around trying to get Emil to wear his uniform. The kid was just too energetic for me this morning.Arianna had left early to prepare for my next appointment. It was a CD signing for my fans today. She wanted to make sure that everything was under control and ready before the time.And that was why I was having this baby problem. Usually, Arianna helped me dress them up for school while I got ready for work. Not that I don't dress the kids but it was easy when Arianna was around."Emil come wear your shoes please. Mommy is running late. Emilia please get your brother's backpack," I took Emil's shoe from the rack chasing him as he giggled like a free born."I don't think Emil wants to go to school neither do I. That school is full of dumb kids. My brain and personality is too high for those bunch of hooligans. Do you know how annoyed I was to hear the teacher repeat the English alphabet over and ov

Jasmine POVIt was finally Saturday, a day that was free for me. I can decide whether to relax at home or at the spa but today, we were going to the mall."Okay, I'm ready to go,"I hung my Valentino Mini purse on my shoulder. I dressed casually today because I was going out in public. But my casual outfit was a Dior collection. Starting from the brown knee length boots to the leather skirt and crop cat top. I looked more like a girl in her teens than a twenty five years old woman with kids. But that didn't matter because it made me feel young and feminine."Mommy is going to the mall?Can we come too?," Emil asked and Arianna answered "No, I and mommy are the only ones going today. You both will spend time with aunty Julie. So be nice when she comes okay. Kisses," "Okay, but we wouldn't make a promise of not being naughty," Emil giggled."Just don't tear the house apart," I kissed him before we left."No promises," he yelled as I closed the door behind me."That kid is really a nut.

Janet POVI got up from my bed and rushed to find Asphalt after I saw the message on my phone. It was my birthday and he didn't cancel it after what I had done last time. He was really mad and I thought that he would call off my birthday party."Thank you honey," I ran into his study room pecking him on his cheeks. He was currently busy with his work, something I had come to hate.He prioritized work over everything else including me."Thank you so much for not canceling my birthday party. I thought I wouldn't have any this year after making you angry the other day. Thank you so much," I peppered his face with kisses but he gently pushed me away, wiping his face off.I felt insulted by his action but there was no way I was going to complain about it. I was under his mercy, one wrong word and all my credit cards would be canceled."You should thank the Adams daughter. Assuming she canceled our business proposal, I won't have considered celebrating your birthday. You should learn to be

Jasmine POVIt was 7 pm in the evening, and I had already put my babies to sleep when Arianna came back for the day."Welcome Riri, how was the negotiation?," I helped her out of her coat, deciding whether or not to take it to her room."It was successful. So you will be having a thorough experience next week. I hope you are ready for it," she slipped into the couch, kicking off her shoes in the process."That's great to hear, have you eaten dinner?," I questioned her, taking away her shoes she had tirelessly littered on the floor."Yeah, I had it with juile. Ah, I almost forgot. We are going out tonight. We got an invitation to an event," she abruptly got up all tiredness leaving her body like it never existed."Really, I don't have the urge to dress up plus it's already late. I don't want to go out today. Please let me skip this one. I just want to have a nice bath and sleep peacefully tonight," I fluttered my eyelashes at her doing the puppy eye thing but she was immune to my cuten

Jasmine POVI came down from my black van on arriving at the set I was to have a photo shoot. Arianna had not accompanied me this time since she had an important matter to handle.I strode into the company, receiving greetings as I walked past Asphalt's employees. Today, Julie was to accompany me since she was my junior agent. Arianna had handed this over to her for today's shoot. On entering the photo room, Asphalt welcomes me with a hug. His hands gently ran down my back in a friendly gesture. I patted him back to return his embrace.It was funny how I acted immune to his touch. If it were before, I would have melted in his arms. "How was your night?," He asked as we broke our embrace."It was nice and yours?," I cheerfully asked."I had a great night thank you," he replied, sounding so tender unlike the Asphalt I knew in the past who was always hostile to anyone who came close to him. I guess Janet really changed him.My mood wasn't really elated today since Arianna was not accom

Jasmine POVI slowly got my consciousness back blinking my eyes to recognize where I was. "Mommy is waking up", I could hear the chirping sound of my babies. The smell of strong iodine and septic disinfectant filled my nostrils giving me the clue that I was in the hospital."I will go inform the nurse," Arianna left the room as I held my bandage head that still hurt.After a few minutes, my head readjusted and I finally registered the person sitting beside my bed. It was Asphalt. He looked stressed like he had missed his sleep for a year."Mommy, you are finally awake,""What took you so long to wake up," Emilia and Emil chorused in my face and I couldn't resist laughing. I brought their faces close, kissing their cheeks with my dried pale lips."What happened?," I directed to Asphalt holding my kids like my life depended on them. The hospital bed wasn't so big and they could fall if they were not careful enough."The flashlight at the studio had a fault and fell on you. You were imme

Janet POVAsphalt and I sat in the garden watching my kids chase after butterflies. As described, the garden was quiet and fascinating and peaceful. The flowers were arranged in a cubic form that gave a uniform look to it.I was enjoying the gentle breeze that caressed my face until Asphalt called my name," Jasmine," I paused looking forward to see if he was referring to the bluish flower in front of us."I know that you are Jasmine, Jazz, why did you lie to me all this while," he said looking at me."What do you mean?I'm not Jasmine. I don't know who you are referring to," I denied wanting to keep my identity secret.Right now, I was feeling a bit tense and uncomfortable. Asphalt knew who I was along but if I played a fool he might reconsider, right?."There is no use lying to me Jasmine," his tone changed to stern as he showed me an envelope. I took it from his hand and read its contents.It was a DNA test he had run on my kids. "You ran a DNA test on my kids?. You have no right to
