Janet POVThe film awards still infuriated me as I watched Jazz scattered all over social media as the queen of entertainment and beauty. Even if she had won the awards on merit, she was no better than me in any way. That damn host was just too blunt for my liking.I sighed and dropped my tablet on the table in anger hissing out loud. "Is there a problem?," Asphalt asked me as he walked into the living room about to leave for the day."No, there is nothing wrong. Are you going to work already?I thought you would stay a little longer," I tried to act cute but he was too low on EQ to understand my action."I see you in the evening," he said and left the house without giving me a goodbye kiss. He was too damn cold for my liking. I watched his car drive out of the compound before I went back to the living room.I had nothing in particular to do today and my manager was on her day off. So I had no one to pester, not even my friends because they too had a busy schedule.As I skimmed throug

Jasmine POVI was dressing up my kids when the doorbell rang. It was Saturday and I didn't expect any visitors in particular. Except if Jacob had planned to come visit.I didn't bother to look through the peephole and opened the door only to see Asphalt standing on my front porch."What the hell are you doing here?," I blurted out with the rage that had grown in my voice after opening the door."Don't yell at me Jasmine, I'm just here to take the kids out for the weekend," he boldly stated after what he had done on the awards day."Mommy, who is at the door?,""Did uncle Jacob come?," my babies ran over to where I was and on seeing Asphalt, they turned away. "If he is the one, then we don't want to spend time with him. I rather spend time with uncle Jacob than him," they wobbled away making their own decisions.I smiled at Asphalt, knowing that he had no luck this time and decided to shut the door in his face. But he was fast at holding the door, preventing me from shutting it entire

Jazz's POVIt was another Saturday after a long stressful week. I was trying to get a beauty sleep but Emil and Emilia kept jumping on my bed making squeaky noises. "Mommy, we want to go over to Great grandpa Max's place. Please let us go there again mommy," they bounced up and down preventing me from falling asleep. "Really, I thought we went last weekend. C'mon, mommy is trying to get a good sleep. Maybe we can go tomorrow," I tried to convince them but they were too persistent in throwing their tantrums. I sighed, giving up on my sleep,"fine we can go today. Just go and find something nice to wear," I said and they stepped down from my bed, rushing out of the room."Hello," I hesitated after Asphalt had picked my call on the first ring."Are you going to talk or not?," he said and I blew my cheeks with air in annoyance. Even in the morning, he was damn rude."Whatever, I'm going over to your Grandfather's place," I quickly said, ending the call instantly."Ugh, he gives me chills

Jazz POVIt was a Sunday morning, a good day to relax or go on a yacht cruise but a text message from my step mom darkened my mood.She had rudely invited me to a family dinner. For the past three months since I came back to California, they never called me or paid a visit.In anger, I replied to her text with the cruellest words that formed in my head. “I don't dine with witches, you can eat with your damn family. I'm allergic to gold diggers!," I added a fuck emoji.After a few minutes, she started to call me. My step mom was the least person I liked. She was too scheming and cunny. Everything I ever had was taken away from me and she made me live in Janet's shadow. And her actions were the reason why I ended up this way, not that I regret having my kids but regret meeting Asphalt the way I did.I sighed and put my phone on silent but the caller changed to my father. He too had become estranged from me. I even felt sorry for him because he was suffering all the fuss of my step mom

Janet POVEver since I announced my pregnancy that day during dinner, Asphalt has been treating me nicely. He was super excited after I broke the news and oh, I would never forget the look on Jasmine's face. Now she would know her place and let go of Asphalt."Hey, honey," I pecked Asphalt when he came down from our room to the living room. "I will be inviting my friends over, I would like us to spend some time at your vacation house. Not outside the country though. I haven't told them about our baby and would love to surprise them in a grand way," I said and he nodded agreeing to my request."Alright, take care of yourself. How many days will you spend with them at the vacation house?," he asked."Two days at least, why do you ask?," I muttered wanting to know his reason."Why?, can't I ask when you would be returning?. Or is there something else you have in mind?," he looked at me inquisitively."No, I just wanted to know that's all. Have fun at work," I waved at him as he approache

Arianna POVIt was another brand new day, free from work and all there was to be.

After my date with Jeremy to the film awards, we have been seeing each other lately.More like we were playing the game of tag until last night when we kissed and had sex. Oh, I feel so giddy right now.I had liked him for a long time now starting from the day we met. We didn't really start off on a good note but after my mom introduced him to me at one of our company's dinners, we settled our misunderstanding and became friends.From normal friends, we graduated to close friends and that was when my feelings began to develop. It was ridiculous at first and I was scared that he wasn't into me like I was to him. I began to distance myself from him but he made it harder for me without realizing.I hide

Jazz POVIt was another plain day without much work. I had already done a little photo shoot for a mini magazine that needed a buzz. However, it did not change the fact that I was still depressed from the family dinner I had attended."You are really a mess right now Jasmine. This behavior of yours can't continue like this. I can't stand it when you are depressed. I'm calling Jacob to come over," Arianna said, picking up her phone immediately.I had no energy to argue her out of her decision. If she wanted Jacob to come over then fine. I will still be the same lazy depressed fool.Every Time I thought about Janet carrying Asphalt's child, I felt sick. I had turned into a monster that wished bad for a baby who had done no wrong.It was insane but I couldn't stand it anymore. I felt more than betrayed after the news. I thought I and Asphalt were getting everything before. We kissed and made love with him all the time. And look where it got me.Hah!I keep forgetting that Janet was his lo

Jazz POV"Thank you so Ethan, I will forever be by your side," I acted as Alison. Today was our final day for the filming shoot. And the last episode of the season."And end!," the director announced and everything came to its conclusion. The crew began to clap as we walked away from the area we had stood to shoot the last episode."Mommy, mommy look at us," my babies called my attention. They were here too, this morning before I came to work, they insisted on following Arianna and I since this was our last day."Alright, I'm watching," I laughed heartily as they jumped around with their arms locked together.They stood across from each other and played with jelly and Jane. An American soap that they loved to watch a lot. "Don't do that jelly, you will only fall. Oh you have fallen already," Emilia rolled her eyes as Emil fell to the floor gently."My heart is what has fallen for you Jane. The floor is just an understatement. I will fall from whatever height to get you to love me Jan

Janet POVAsphalt and I decided to pay his grandfather a visit. I was really interested in going because the old man obviously hated my guts.However, I would love to see the look on his face once Asphalt announces my expectation to him. I'm sure he would automatically like me. Even though I didn't like him, he was also the source of Asphalt's wealth. And it would be more exciting if I won him over, that way Asphalt would easily hand me all his assets."I hope he accepts me this time. I feel so nervous right now. What if he rejects me again?, your grandfather scares me," I pouted, acting unease by rubbing my belly."Don't worry, I'm sure he will like you this time since you are carrying his great grandchild." Asphalt kissed the back of my hand as he drove to his grandfather's residence."You know, I have always wished that he would like me. I know that I look like an incompetent wife to him. But I really do care about you and his sentiments really affect me. I wish I could be as good

Arianna POVJeremy and I decided to go on a coffee date together since it was a working day. It was a romantic date between the two of us. Ever since we arrived at the shop, he had been staring at me with a lovely gaze that indicated how he was helplessly in love with me.My cheeks became a constant red as if I was in a hot sauna. "At this rate, you would make me lose my grip Jeremy," I purred, joining him in his staring contest."Why don't you come over here for me to look deeper into your eyes. I don't like the distance between us at all," he daringly patted the vacant space beside him.His words were quite alluring but I knew too well that sitting beside him would turn into a steamy session which shouldn't be in a public place like this."Hmm, nope that offer of yours is quite tempting but I can't risk our image. There are cameras everywhere," I indicated with my index finger and he laughed, surrendering from his seduction."You should really...,""I can't believe she has the ball
