Jasmine's POVOh, no! I gasped. It was like my whole world came tumbling, and flushed down the drain I bore with my bare hands... It felt so surreal, like a wild dream I desperately wished to wake up from. How long has he been standing there? How much did he hear? Limp, I stood up, trembling to my bones. Now wasn't the time to get steady before acting, but rather act spontaneously before it got to a full-blown mess. Dragging my weak feet along, I approached him slowly but steadily. He scoffed, looked from Rylee to me, and rushed out of the dining area with a few steps backward. Now, he was out of sight completely. With my legs unable to carry my weight, I fell on my knees, still in denial. Crap! My breathing spiked. I fought the sob about to erupt from me... I was panting furiously. "Calm down, please,” Rylee spoke up for the first time. Calm down? I scoffed. Of course, it was a walk in the Park for her, it wasn’t her problem and I didn't expect her to understand, much more sy

Jasmine's POVI woke up after a long night and just remained immobile on the bed. If it were possible, I just wanted to be in bed and not move a limb. It never felt the same. After Asher found out about Sebastian being in the same workspace as me, and in the most embarrassing way, nothing felt the same. I wouldn't blame him if I were in his shoes, I would probably think I was a form of rebound or a get-back weapon. On the day of the incident, which was two days ago to be exact, it took hours before Asher finally opened the door, but not his heart. I tried talking to him and explaining things, and he just spaced out... I knew he needed time, but I wasn't capable of giving him such. I was devastated too. Though we slept in the same bed, but it seemed like we were worlds apart. We exchanged pleasantries and talked but that was as far as it went. ‘Relax, Jas.” My wolf cheers me up. 'It's just two days after you both had a decent conversation.’'And the kids would be back tomorrow, wh

Jasmine's POVToday was the first day of resumption after I got served twice. I didn't look forward to a pleasant day at work, not when all of my clients would go to Dr. Liam, and I would only watch and assist. Liam would never put me in such a tight corner, against Brady's instruction, he would leave me to attend to them myself, but it didn't matter when it changed nothing. And it would never reflect in my paycheck, so why stress? Asher insisted on driving me to work, but I persuaded him to do the school run instead and relax since his job allowed him to work from home. "Hey, Jasmine.” Liam beamed when I got into the office. “Hello, good morning.” “Morning, dear.” He checked me out. "My dear friend is glowing.” I giggled and went to my desk and got comfortable. "Thanks for having the kids for the weekend.” “It's nothing.” He brushed it off as he went through some files on his desk. "And I'm sorry I couldn't come with Rylee to drop the kids. I was a bit tied up with work.”"Tr

Jasmine’s POVNow that we were alone and in Mr. Carter's lobby, Asher let go of my hand. I felt relieved, and the fear of worrying about people seeing me being dragged out died down. Asher was livid to his bones, but somehow he managed to act like we were a normal couple just having an itsy bitsy quarrel that would blow over with time. His eyes were bloodshot red, and his claws were now retracted. He was not fully possessed by his beast, but he was in a distorted state of mind, regardless. “We still have a few hours till your close of work.” He said after he flipped his watch to look at it and then wriggled his nose. I knew where he was driving at, and I was in no position to fault him. Never in his wildest dream would he leave me while Sebastian still lurked around, not after the awful encounter. I should have known better. But then, how did he know I was at Sebastian’s office? What was he doing here in the first place? I couldn't kick these questions off my head. "I can try to

Sebastian's POVIt was time to see the ball rolling. After I was well rested, I resumed plotting my schemes. Carefully, I weighed my juicy options one by one, to either eliminate the unfavorable ones and pick the best option at the end of the day or to use them simultaneously if need be. The first one was to report to Brady. No doubt, I would get him and a whole bunch of the hospital staff on my side playing pity party, especially since I was a new member of the board of directors... There was a virus that made old staff treat newer ones extra special, and they were pretty infected. I could tell a lie and make it seem like Jasmine's lover was just being paranoid. He might be taken for a psycho after this got out. Also, what made this even better, was that he was within the hospital premises to create a scene, when he shouldn't be lurking around in here as he had no business. He might end up being jailed for assault, and Jasmine might lose her job. Nah. I shook my head, hating th
