Jasmine stepped into a classic-style restaurant with sparkling crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and soft jazz music playing in the background. She had taken a moment to fix her hair before entering, trying to calm her suddenly racing heart. After Danzell had informed her that he would be meeting her mother, Evelyn, Jasmine felt a knot in her stomach.As the restaurant door opened, the aroma of delicious food immediately filled her senses. Jasmine scanned the room for Evelyn and Eli, Danzell's mother, who had arrived earlier. In the corner of the room, she saw them sitting elegantly, as if waiting for an important moment. Swallowing hard, Jasmine hesitantly walked towards them."Hi, sweetie, you always look beautiful," greeted Eli with a warm, comforting smile. Eli, with her elegant silver hair, was always friendly and sincerely welcomed Jasmine. In contrast, Evelyn merely watched Jasmine's arrival with a blank, cold expression."Thank you, Aunt Eli," Jasmine replied softly

Tonight is the company's anniversary celebration, currently led by Seth. The grand hall is filled with the glitter of crystal lights reflecting colorful hues, creating a magnificent and elegant atmosphere. Guests arrive in their finest attire, exuding an aura of endless luxury. Laughter and warm conversations fill the air, accompanied by soft music played by the orchestra in the corner of the room.In another corner of the hall, Lucas, Seth's father, is surrounded by a group of guests busy congratulating him on his success as a legislative candidate. Satisfaction radiates from his face, adding to the pride of the esteemed family.Amidst the crowd, the presence of Monica and Danzell's family draws attention. They attract many looks due to rumors about their relationship with the Lucas family.Seth stands near the drinks table, his eyes fixed on Danzell who is chatting with Jasmine. The clear admiration in Danzell's eyes every time he looks at Jasmine makes Seth's blood boil."You look

Danzell stared at Jasmine's back as she stood with her back to him. The soft glow of the room's light cast a silhouette on her body, creating shadows that highlighted her elegance. He never expected Jasmine to choose him over Seth to accompany her that night. Over Seth, who was always by her side.Danzell sighed softly, breaking the permeating silence.“How are you?” Danzell asked, trying to hide the concern in his voice.Jasmine glanced briefly, then replied shortly, “I’m fine.” She walked over to the vanity, sitting in front of the large mirror that adorned the room. Her wet hair started dripping, creating small spots on the mahogany wood.Danzell watched Jasmine pick up the hair dryer, ready to dry her hair. Quickly, he stepped closer and gently took the device from her hand. “Let me help you,” Danzell said, his voice full of tenderness.Jasmine looked at him through the mirror's reflection, their eyes meeting in a meaningful silence. Danzell turned on the hair dryer and began dryi

Jasmine walked lightly through the luxurious hotel corridors. The sound of her steps echoed along the walls adorned with beautiful paintings. Her heart was pounding, not just because of the family gathering she always looked forward to, but also because of Danzell and Monica joining them this morning.Jasmine sat right next to Seth, who promptly pulled out a chair for her. However, what made Jasmine feel trapped was her seating position directly opposite Danzell, who now smiled at her casually.“You look unwell, Sweety,” said Eli, who was always more attentive to her than her own mother, Evelyn.“Yes, she wasn’t feeling well last night, Mom,” answered Danzell, drawing the attention of everyone seated at the dining table.Eli looked at Danzell suspiciously. “How do you know?”Seth, who had been silent, now spoke up. “Because they were together last night, right, Mine?” Seth said, with a tone that made Jasmine feel like Seth intentionally wanted to tell everyone that she was with Danzel

Monica walked closer as Seth buttoned up his shirt. That morning, the sunlight streaming through the hotel window bathed the room in a soft glow, but the atmosphere between them was far from calm. "Are you leaving right away?" Monica asked, stroking Seth's six-pack abs, trying to draw his attention while he was still busy with his buttons. Seth held his breath for a moment before answering, "I have to meet Jasmine." His words made Monica click her tongue in irritation. They had just spent a passionate night together, yet Seths mind was always on his stepsister, which annoyed Monica."You can meet her tomorrow, right? | still want to spend time with you, Seth." Monica tried to lure him with a gentle touch on his shoulder and moved in to kiss him. However, Seth stopped her with a raised hand. "Enough, Monica. There are many things I need to take care of, especially regarding our engagement," Seth said, making Monica exhale sharply. Though his words sounded promising, they didn't guel
