Asher's POV“Bastard!” My mind was in a chaotic state, with so many thoughts racing through it. I was feeling odd... mixed feelings actually. A part of me felt like ending this long-drawn battle, with his life of course, and another felt so disgusted, like it would take a trip around the blazing sun, just to not see his stern face. “I'll be back.” Mr. Carter promised, more like warned us, and started to leave, not without flashing us his annoying smile. "You must be sick and stuck in your damn fantasies.” I groaned. “Like I said, I will be back.” He reiterated. "But until then, my fantasies would soar.” He grinned. “Damn you!” I cussed under my breath. The foil and abandoned piece of cake he was having started at me, and got me even more riled up. That right there, was my long hours of hard work, to please my family, and not some goddamn punk. “Say hello to your beautiful kids, Jasmine.” He said while walking away like a gentleman. That was the straw that broke the camel’s ba

Emily's POV“Emily!” My mum called to me at the top of her lungs. I yelped away from the stranger to see my mum, approaching Mr. Carter and me in a very furious state. The last time I saw my mum this angry was... Now? This was why I was so scared, because even when I disobeyed her by giving Penny milk, she wasn't this angry looking. “Mum?” I mumbled a response, shaky to my pants, and unsure of what she was going to do to me next, or even Mr. Carter. Beads of sweat broke out from every pore, almost soaking my dress as a result. And as my mum got closer, I went rigid on the spot, thinking about the next best action... First, I could run for my safety or secondly, I could just wait it out. “What are you doing Emily?” She looked at me, still obviously angry. “I... I helped... His...” I stuttered, more scared than I imagined. My mum wasn't the type to be spontaneous, hence it was possible to guess her next action, but right now, even guessing she would eat me alive is a nice try. “S

Sebastian’s POVAs expected the news of my suspension had spread like wildfire in autumn. Bad news as this, blew without catalyst, and it was so pathetic. What made it worse was that I was the newest member of the board of directors, after Jasmine’s fall from grace, which meant literally all of the workers here knew me. I was tagged 'Dr. Ross's replacement.’After the last-minute revelation from Kylie, I was prompted to go the extra mile and get Jasmine over. I needed the CCTV footage to absolutely convince her. Knowing Jasmine, she wasn't one to believe mere words over evidence, especially since the one giving her such an update was her arch-enemy. “Jeez.” I giggled. Jasmine was just a handful lately, and I loved the emotional fight she always put up, even though I wished it was easier to woo her over. With her acting like a Wonder Woman, it only gave me the opportunity to be with her one more day. I began pacing about in front of my compound, hovering around my black Ford, unsure

Jasmine’s POVMy phone buzzed and I picked it up to look at the notification. It was a message from 'Dick Head’ which I apparently used to save Sebastian’s contact. In my defense, I was been lenient with him, names like; demon, and beast... described him best. "Not again, asshole." I sighed for the umpteenth time. "What does the asshole want this time around?”Now that Asher and I were having an understanding, I would be an ass to spoil this good thing we have going. After the interrupted family fun time, Asher only began to open up and acted normal, recently. To be honest, I loved every moment of it, and I wasn't about to put an end to it. There was another part of me that was curious to know what he had up his sleeves this time around. I was kinda desperate to know the state of things with my father, if he was truly dying, and needed my presence. If only I had his number, I could have called myself. I guess there was always a part of someone that was troubleshooting. “I should ju

Sebastian’s POVJasmine in my house?It was a mixed feeling, I was both happy and stunned. I was still clearly in shock at her surprise visit. When she unapologetically brushed me aside and gained access to my space without my permit, I turned and watched her sway her hips as she shoved got in and comfortable in my home. Weird indeed. “Arghh.” I sighed softly. They had stopped my happy mood abruptly before I got soaked in my state of euphoria. But surely, the celebration would double after she left the house, plus, she was the reason for the celebration after all. And for a job well done, I need another bottle of champagne. Maybe three bottles, or four or five... Just not one. "Is there a problem?" She asked from inside. "Are we interrupting any of your silly activities?”Now, Jasmine, I need to make you bow down to me as you should. I have had enough of her incessant mockery whenever she had the slightest chance to. Jeez! Someone needed to caution her, for fuck’s sake. But for no
