Bella's POV We returned home following the incident involving us and Jasmine at the mall.My mom has been restless; I wish I could understand the reason behind that.But she has practically refused to talk to me about it, even though I have tried to get her to say something about what exactly has been bothering her.It's obvious she wasn't happy about it all, and I was sure to a certain level that it has everything to do with Jasmine.I looked at her with so much concern, but she barely spared the slightest glance at me. Yeah, it was that bad!Then I decided to log online with my phone, at least to ease off the tension in the atmosphere. I can't be lacking attention on both sides.Just as soon as I swiped up the screen, I gasped in surprise, using my left palm to cover my mouth with regard to the headlines I could see everywhere: ‘The Scott's family, Mrs. Leah and Bella, bullying others with their power.’Others had, ‘Expose the true color of the wealthy elites publicly assaulting s

Jasmine POVIn one of the company's corridors, more like a mini hallway, there was a water dispenser, allowing me to effortlessly grab a cup of water and relax.I didn't feel like taking from the one in my office. Probably as a way of stretching my legs during work hours.Bella walked past like I never existed, but I got my eyes on her, as I knew I was never safe around her.Just immediately, she did like she suddenly lost stamina and fell on me.But luckily for me, I had already finished the water in the disposable cup and made away with it; if not, the water would have messed up with my corporate gown.I had suspected her deliberate act already, as I had read her steps earlier as she approached until she walked past me, so I quickly pushed her off instantly.Just then, she got hold of herself, giving me that puzzled look like she didn't know what she did.So I returned the same surprise gestures to her with a little widened eyes, “Oh! I thought you missed a step. How come you sudde

Ethan'S POVI brought Jasmine to her house, carried her to bed since she was already deep asleep. Such a fast sleeper with just a few cups of cocktail. I knew that her alcohol tolerance isn't that much; that was more reason I stopped her. If she had taken more, I wonder what would have happened to her. Aside from that, I guess I bored her with my gist that even made the whole thing worse than what it should.As I carefully placed her in the bed and turned, about to leave, I felt her hand draw my back slightly, and before I could turn, she called out “sweetness” in what seemed like a whisper.With that, I turned abruptly in a split second and noticed that her both eyes were still closed. I was surprised as somehow worry finds its way all through my face, because I thought she was already sleeping.However, I sensed that she might be experiencing a nightmare or something similar. It happens and it's understandable, with that, my face settled back to what it was before then.But on secon

Ethan's POVI returned to the director's office after ensuring Jasmine was safely in the car. I wonder why, of all times, it has to be this time that she felt dizzy, or better yet, nausea.But that wouldn't stop the fact that I am here to verify the truth from the director of this orphanage, and I must do that before stepping my feet out of here. So, if she has faked the dizziness, then her plans have failed.The few days of me being a fool for her are gone, I can't be planning to spend my life with one who is full of deceits.“Oh, Mr. Ethan, you are back. I thought you were gone after you took a little longer time, and I was about to reach you now.”“There is no need for that, I am still around.” He gestured for me to have a seat, and I did.“From the little discussion we had earlier, I indicated that you don't know who the lady I came in with is.” I continued.“I am sorry, it was a mistake from my end. I can recall her now. Her name is Jasmine, and she used to be an orphan here. One

Bella's POV I grabbed the glass and then the bottle of alcoholic wine and poured the content inside the glass.Since I could feel that he isn't so attentive, I needed to take the bull by its horn by taking destiny into my hands, as I can't guarantee if Martin was truly in to help me.I hastily put in some substance, enough, as I would rather not hear stories nor take chances in this golden opportunity.Fortunately for me, Ethan didn't stop me, judging from the way he has answered me rudely when I tried to ask her about Jasmine. I’ve come to understand that he was really high on the alcoholic content he had already consumed. Subsequently, I turned directly to him with the cup of drink and said, “Ethan, if you want to drink, then you can go ahead. I will keep you company so you are safe. It's not a good idea to drink all alone while you are out because anything might happen to you.”To my surprise, he took the glass and shifted it away from his sight, but again, he brought it close and
